the european union the election of a joint far right far left government in italy noises of dissent in hungary and paul if you really think the europeans can wait that long it seems to me it seems to me that the mid-term elections in november in the united states will send an indication of what the european they mean wait a few months by don't think they can wait years see you blocking statute his interest it's a nineteen ninety six provision med to be used to protect european companies from the u.s. blockade on cuba so what it's going to do is it's going to ban e.u. companies supposedly from recognize it from obeying the rule though it's impossible to judge or and force and it bans european courts from recognizing decisions against companies because of these sanctions and it will open up the european investment bank but german officials have already admitted they can't protect european companies this is an outdated measure they don't know how to

update it the russian duma is actually dealing with a nearly identical provision to forbid russian companies from recognizing sanctions against russia and they're not having much of a loss with that either but these are the european companies that already announced that they're pulling out of iran toto all the french energy giant may or tankers the danish shipping giant alliance the german insurance company danieli the italian steel manufacturer and china and russia i just think you very much because that is exactly what i did just that period and swoop up they're going to give an interview over the break there are plenty of players who will that will fill the breach here this is why sanctions are. a blunt weapon yes it will not achieve policy objectives go ahead of basically it's one there and you know these sanctions are a bomb around. with mark that the six measure is old date that precisely because the e.u. achieved its aid. everything is now digitalized you couldn't escape control there

is no will bend secret the e.u. officials have recognized that three months ago that you can no want to keep your information your bank information secret it's on the record in the united states and in the west globally i'm afraid that you sanctions are going to make a masochist out of me i love the sanction russia some more sanction me some more but even such an issue is it more sanctions korea terrible going to be going to go there we're going to do that it's going to go to the break here but this is really gets down to it's law it's law fair it's law fair now everyone is involved in law if the americans perfected it now everyone's going to play the same game go ahead yeah i mean it's interesting to see that you know practically speaking of companies do business with iran they make it punished by the u.s. if they don't do business with iran begin to get punished by the e.u. of course we're not going to see a lot of that happen but practically speaking if you look at the blocking statute

that's pretty much what it says so it's it's absolute chaos ok well you know what alex i'm going to go to the break here but you know everyone gets penalized and then the russians and the chinese come in and fill the breach they get paid ok again the law of unintended consequences gentlemen to jump in here we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on some real news today that are being. was she in a psych genetically modified organisms the system is in the food industry in the one nine hundred ninety s. . the time is taking that in lives and what does not have to do to cheer.

was just something that gives us a little of the shadows almost two months of. life is a chemical widely used to kill leaks. close loopholes why legal services like the beer in the street. they use drugs and runs there's a possible temptation that. can occur in the future scientists proof that g.m. products really awful on the human race to science service to the world free of g.m.'s in crisis eight which may even be able to sleep cost the points of never send. chills seemed wrong. rowles just don't call. me lol it is yet to shape our disdain becomes to add to it and in gains from it because

betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back to cross like you are all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you discussing some real news. ok mark i want to go back to a story that is unfinished and i don't know if we'll ever be finished this cripples in the u.k. yeah exactly because it's dropped our ages here i mean this is a story that will never end do you think we'll ever hear from the two principals again i don't know and one of the reasons is that according to members of prominent members of the british press they have been issued orders from the government not

to report on certain details of the script as a for what exactly those details are where those details might lead to do with the british government their default position would be it is to defend. security interests is that a is that a viable defense well i mean there appears to be that they're using it. the argument that british national security is threatened if british media questions the british government's own narrative about what happened and looks into details of this case does seem a little farfetched to me it seems peculiar to me as well because i'm it's the. there is they're defending something that they that hasn't been explained in another country another country they might call it blatant censorship or how do you look at this one because it was the biggest story in the news and now it's hardly there and there's been an enormous amount of damage done as

a result if we compare it to the need financial case which started to exactly twelve years ago to the case was much better staged at least there were photos of him in the hospital there are even interviews with him even though control. by some people around here by old bell who was their p.r. manager no we don't have the full dose of this creep in the horse but they were both discharged from the course but the allegedly touching of this terrible nerve agent just kills all the human beings are old and self in there in the radio soul one mile and there are some called me ridiculous and alive but they don't give press conferences they don't bounce a question they don't answer questions they don't meet the british press that prebreathe press which somehow what not and that of course but the. score of script let's make sure supposedly nova chuck there's a score is no over truck zero humans three absolutely because even though supposedly there is no cure according to britain's own leading so i don't think it

about those guinea pigs that anything's going to catch and i mean if you let me let me let alex jump in your guide and let's not forget that the most disturbing part of all of this is that you had a russian citizen denied access to speak with with the russian embassy so i mean you see a blatant disregard for international law a blatant disregard for diplomacy and international diplomacy you had russian citizens who were who were in trouble in a foreign country and the u.k. government denied the embassy access to you earlier scribal and now you're going to have two people essentially disappear i mean no one's going to know where they're going to be taken to where they're going to go they're just going to be vanished off the face so that's what we know we don't know whether you like a script or wants to talk to her family and that's the right thing you know what i think and to be fair here i think it is incumbent upon the british government to be a little bit more transparent about their decision making process because this is

a huge story of public interest they were implications of the alleged poisoning and the alleged perpetrator there's been political facts created in the ground and i think it's a why we need to know more and we need more transparency when i mean they also. promise to give you and your identity so it's not just does she want one we know that though no one interviewed this is the problem you know there has been a statement. by the british police supposedly on her behalf obviously not using her own words and command of the english language signature without anything so imagine you or me as a russian citizen of coming to the u.k. and then someone very of why stakes me tells everybody was poisoned by octu propaganda he needs treatment he needs a new identity. talk to kim so that you know there is a president for a similar thing happening ok gentlemen if you take the rap for the first

international community the western democracy would be outraged if there were there would be hashtags free you're only a script ok well we want. to see you described it was one of the secrets to change gears here i mean i wanted to do this story earlier but it's still going on here the massacres going on in in. we don't we had a u.n. resolution the security council that was vetoed by the united states to look into an investigation and what happened there one of the reasons why i'm bringing up the stories because i think again western media. shamelessly did not cover the story with. the accuracy and maybe morality that it was needed basically saying it was a. conflict of equal measure no one side had snipers and one other side had no guns and had banners in flags we had some certainly here you know

there's a moral equivalence there is no moral equivalence there mark the western media this is how propaganda is done universally almost universally discussed this man. sicker and then it was a massacre when you have sixty some people killed on one side in two thousand four hundred possibly i've seen that number of injured on one side and zero dead zero injured on the other that is not clashes that is a massacre and. we continually had the use of the past of sense palestinians died people died in clashes no they were killed the israeli regime the zionist regime in control of israel and much of palestine killed sixty people. and opened fire killing medics women children market i have a sense that. the english language international television you're one of the few

people individuals that have ever said anything of that magnitude about this massacre this proves my point ok because we still have a stormy daniels and we have calling the. drug gangs from cell door animals that gets the headlines not a massacre of innocent people i mean i can give you already a similar example one of the delusions of people illegal death self-indulgence of people did not do that to the western press on both thirty three least mckeel don't even during the so-called peaceful protests against young which thirty two policemen killed no not a single ward about them you know. the american press. present which was all of that they said that he fled in the middle of the night after. two policemen killed at least three i will tell you also. then sixteen syrian soldiers killed by american aviation by mistake in

a day or as or and there was and there's more jane yes a year ago an apology which you know. kind of continued by american interference in syria then now we have sixty something police genius killed. and again this is not so important as you know the opening of the new embassy. which was helping in that that better moment or maybe the marriage of the royal marriage in the u.k. these are more important events so then the illegal death of six sixty people you know. brought that up i mean we have basically in real time we had the opening of the american embassy in jerusalem against international law and un resolutions and we you have basically a split screen ok clashes are not clashes that's a massacre and then we have this opening of the american embassy with all smiles and all of that here what kind of message does that send because it seems to me

that western media is sending a message of impunity you can break international law and and not be called on it because if we look at look at the legal writing at the united nations under some security council resolutions we're not making it up here these are facts ok and then white washing a massacre in gaza what does that say about. western media and maybe western policy in general. impunity hypocrisy. and i'll go even further you know when you have staged chemical attacks in syria the united states is about to go to war and here you have sixty people killed by a sniper fire i mean let that sink in this is not you know indiscriminate rifle fire just being sprayed everywhere these are soldiers who are sitting you know in a position and they're and they're picking off people they're picking off not journalists and they're picking off kids doctoring off their i mean not a serious medics on the get out of reported not only are they snipers they were using butterfly bullets they're designed to fragment inside the body do as much

internal damage as bob this is not a war time environment this is not a this is this is a civilians are being targeted here not military and to third i said to the people . go ahead alex jobin in cyberspace well you know if i could just say the media quickly blamed it on hamas saying oh why did hamas bring children into this protest why did they push children towards these really borders i mean it's absolutely sickening to think about it that they're not there pinning the blame on all of this hamas bringing children into the line of fire if you if you vote for a political party if you're a member of a political party that in a western governments i don't like a mosque myself right anymore than i like the zionist regime in control of israel but if you belong to a political party that was elected democratically that they don't like they have the right to massacre you did you know that that's the twisted logic you can. get

that just the palestinian branch of the muslim brotherhood which the united states supported in egypt in syria in a lot of other places they united states almost legitimize the muslim brotherhood so when when they were also so did israel by trying to break up they wanted to have an alternative to it in this is what they got so again israel if you every single foreign policy initiative they take it almost in since their existence back buyers on them ok a mosque is the latest one or we could talk about his blog is well it wasn't there before the invasion illegal invasion of lebanon so you know again the law of unintended consequence and as police look you know one of the most i'm brotherhood went against the syrian government mr us up in two thousand and eleven they were the deacon life by the western press you know they want to just democracy fight us when they when they get it's their government always rail then you can kill sixty people and they won't even blink you know so it's hypocrisy it's

hypocrisy at its peak you know the interesting thing is we're going to have to end on this note here i'm going to take a. page from alex christopher it will be no in cyprus here. you can disagree with. all the things that donald trump is doing but he's keeping his word to his base in his campaign i've never seen a president in my lifetime keep his word on things that i very much against something at least he's consistent that's all the time we have gentlemen many thanks to my guest here in moscow and in cyprus this is the end of our broadcast segment stay with us for the extended version on our you tube channel see you next time and remember crosstalk. the i. have it about it i would not be here that. much as if. you.

hate. it doesn't. mean. by then got a session on the nod that a. by then is a shift the long. ball i started listening to an audience at a loss is going on want. to see. my soul. and you know supposedly how did it all multiple injuries among current and up to so for them to keep sophie whole the look of the show's real year mars on the phone to the book and the feeling perfectly simple so simple so the see so you're welcome to it's a book in a moral sense of what my. own a bit of nothing. off allowed me. somethin to work.

on long enough something not set in. the market just a little huddles look ma that's what economically i maybe i'm heading toward efforts. in some american cities the police subdue him soon schooling to read between the people who walk on the streets of the united states are at risk from the very people who are supposed to protect that poor people are no more afraid of the police than is often. you can see something happening. in. their lives. with their fingers on the trigger you never know better safe than sorry i don't know that someone else is. unfortunately around around here we

are. told from. two. u.s. secretary of state issues twelve demands to iran including several completely unrelated to tehran's nuclear program comes less than two weeks after donald trump told washington out of the iran nuclear deal. he's at opposite ends of the political spectrum seek the blessing of italy's president for their radical coalition manifesto. the us justice department opens an investigation into alleged f.b.i. . traces of the presidential campaign after reports of the bureau had an informant inside the camp.

great to have your company this evening my name is neil harvey this is r.t. international u.s. secretary of state. threatened the worst sanctions ever for iran to see him fail twelve demands against iran. iran must declare to the i.a.e.a. a full account of the prior military dimensions of its nuclear program but stop enrichment provide the i.a.e.a. with unqualified access to all sites throughout the entire country and its proliferation of ballistic missiles release all u.s. citizens and support to middle east terrorist groups respect the sovereignty of the iraqi government and permit the disarming demobilization and reintegration of shia militias also and its military support for the who the militia withdraw all forces under a new command throughout the entirety of syria most in support for the taliban and other terrorists in afghanistan in the region and cease harboring senior al qaeda

leaders and i or g. could force a support for terrorists and militant partners around the world and to iran must and is threatening behavior against its neighbors many of whom are u.s. allies well he started off a speech trying to convince his audience of how bad obama's deal was claiming that its flaws put the whole world at brisk and arguing that the chase c.p.o. away only postpone iran's development of nuclear weapons and now pump a also promised unprecedented financial pressure on iran ordering that sanctions will not change until iran changes and threatening that iran will have to fight to keep its economy alive we will apply unprecedented financial pressure on the iranian regime the leaders in tehran will have no doubt about our seriousness these will indeed end up being the strongest sanctions in history when we are complete it's also worth mentioning that this economic pressure can only succeed if the e.u. also complies however the ego has already stated that it's satisfied with the

existing deal saying that more sanctions are unnecessary as it seeks to protect its companies that are doing business in iran but let's quickly break down some of his demands you know some of them have at least something to do with the previous iran deal for example pompei o demanded that iran stop enriching uranium and never preprocess plutonium and asked for access to all of iran's nuclear sites but these remains were not. only part of the g c p a way they were met by iran which was certified by the i.a.e.a. other demands pompei a maid had nothing to do with preventing iran from acquiring new these were random foreign policy demands which included ask iran to stop supporting who these in yemen demanding that iran pull out of syria but one highlight of the speech was when pompei accused shia iran of supporting sunni extremist groups in afghanistan and apparently pressure will continue until iranians change of government so now america is blatantly telling the iranian people what to do check out what he said

at the end of the day the iranian people will decide the timeline at the end of the day be ready people will get to make a choice about their leadership if they make the decision quickly that would be wonderful if they choose not to do so we will stay hard at this until we achieve the outcomes that i set forward today so that could be interpreted as a call for regime change which unlike pompei is nuclear demands wasn't part of the original deal but all in all it's unclear what the administration is looking to come out of this but what does have to wait for reactions from the rest of the world iran has already responded to washington's demands by insisting that its forces will stay in syria for as long as is needed to fight terrorism that. as long as there is the need of the fruits of terror and the syrian government wants it iran will continue its support of the syrian government let me underline that those who entered syrian territory without the consent of its government are the ones who need to get out. ok to speak now to

a political commentator and historian other darwish very good initio adel we've heard the kind of the synopsis has been laid out there in that report tehran has issued a defiant response to pump a zero but what's the forces out of syria iran says they will stay and they will stay as long as we want them to will that have any effect upon what is a very unstable region. well. it will have mixed effects i mean obviously. the states here as. has set. the man's up with the road from syria with the royal from me yemen specifically which is a new wound and choosing one of the political activists that is actually siding with saudi arabia and that emirates egypt i mean this kind of axis against iran there's a new one and the second one of course is. asking iran. sort

of an historic. monds before that we mean to assign to actually inspect and big live sites that agreement. did not include it almost certain that it's actually designed for the any and that if you. i'm not sure because the founding myth of the islamic republic is america being the great satan and israel is the lesser satan. probably shouldn't have mentioned as right in it but he did he said. for almost three and stop sort of thing as right so it looks like actually you think the hand. of the more militant elements in iran economically i'm not quite sure again what outside the region will happen inside the region probably the that that's in the gulf axis would welcome it.

composts just that the iranian people need this right the right decision. choosing its government and the u.s. is going to wait until they make the right decision was it as brazen a call for regime change as it seemed. well it looks like sort of asking people to rise up i mean it's no long time ago probably the younger viewers don't remember but you know the first gulf war the end of it which is if every nine hundred ninety one when president bush sr asked the iraqi people to rise up against saddam and then lead them down we sort of. iraqi tanks withdraw american checkpoints to suppress the uprise so which is a different situation altogether can there in young people actually arrives are not quite sure whether from iran today be announcing new charges again

this is a there's a need to go to these british reunion in origin national actually held in iran this rights that you could see government as your pussy footing with iran so iran actually taking more of a defiant stance. great to speak to left to end it i'm afraid but pleasure darwish political commentator understory thank you thank you. now my pompei i did the u.s. will send teams around the world to further explain washington's policy on iran but even before his new demands france was one of many countries already lashing out at u.s. strategy towards tehran. it's good more going to the us is the plan it's economic policeman do you accept one way domination with no respect for international rules obviously europe's response must clearly be. good friday the european commission

launched a process aimed at preventing a new firms from being hit by u.s. sanctions one of those plans european companies would be able to get compensation even loans if they were affected. later on monday the italian president plans to meet the leaders of the left leaning five star movement and the right wing northern league party to discuss the formation of a new coalition government and while a poll finds most italians back the largely anti program that's been agreed on by those parties. must do something about immigration because it's a mess and like the coloration plan of course who want lower taxes especially for business sense so the league got too harsh on immigration we need to solve this problem but with a more moderate approach but i'm worried about how our five star and the league are going to make good on these promises it will be difficult because the powers that strong the. new prime minister may also be put forward on monday the coalition is

expected to nominate law professor just because he's a relative unknown in political and public life described by talian media as being a classic technocrat these done hawkins explains how to bitterly rival parties ended up working together. italy's on the brink of forming its coalition government with the parties presenting their blueprint on the country's future to the president but this is no ordinary political deal should it go ahead italy will be the only western european country and the e.u. founding member governed by populist euro skeptics this is got europe pretty worried italy first is the political slogan of those about to lead the country. we've told this to everyone even on the european level and from now on only italians come first now the northern league and five star movement have certainly had their differences in fact until recently there was no love lost between the two parties taking italy by storm fortunately for them.
