addressed the press conference in the cake and told how these fake wheedled was made that actually continue to happen but it's not only r t and a few other outlets reported the backstory to this this of false flag operation all of the obvious concentrate on the coup page that control these people to come from damascus to the cake well these people are only that you show to the whole world you're sad they were victims of a chemical attack why don't you want to listen to them you're going to have to really get a really good alex you're going to go back to cyprus one more minute before we go to the break here so it looks like russia russia russia is was going to be continued all the way to the mid terms or in lieu of the mule the report go ahead alex yeah i think even when the mueller report is is finalized and i think we are coming to an end it's very apparent that the whole russia thing is just going to last until probably until trouble either wins reelection or that's going to go on

for another four years or until they get rid of trouble because if the russia thing is not dying down you can see it in the white house press briefing they're going to scapegoat russia for everything but the most important point to all of this is that the american people don't care we've seen poll after poll alex shows that russia ranks very low just real quick do you think paul manner for it will go to federal prison because he has good taste in clothes and. he definitely i think good taste in clothes and i think when everything wraps up he will get a part of it from trump i think that's in the cards for 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 new state of art.

when else chose seemed wrong when all the rules just don't call. me to get to shape our disdain comes to educate and in detroit because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to give us a little world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

from the. last time we chased. each one of them carrying twenty kilos of drugs. they just kept going. it's. like. i don't know. make or. break right. now well.

welcome back to cross talk where all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing some real news. ok let me go to eric now we were talking about this new senate bill that's going to sanction the russian economy and individuals but this is a pattern and to an earlier this is warfare by different means that sanction warfare and we see the u.s. applying it in particularly what's maybe what's nuanced here in the trumpet ministration that it's again against quote unquote allies we could talk a little bit about turkey the problem basically is that the global financial system since basically one hundred forty five has been. very heavily dollar. and this was

it was and it wasn't really a cup topic for discussion for a long time now more recently the americans have decided that it's easier to throw sanctions than to shoot weapons illegitimate missiles so basically what they can do and be done in the case of russia is cut off individuals from the control of their own assets some of these. were very close to the kremlin others were very distant from the kremlin major russian companies have certainly been become an able to do business on the global market they can do this and they can sort of like using snipers they can take out people on the streets of moscow from a distance and it's relatively hard to fight against because you could say people will use the euro but the european. the secondary sanctions so it's really quite hard to fight against and if you take countries like turkey they're doing the same thing they're not happy with turkish policy so they're

sanctioning individual liberties and this is part this is all very unilateral here is an additional footnote not only people on the streets of moscow bottle for their relatives yes because the law says the draft law says that you know not only the russian businessmen who have any relations with the russian government will be attacked but also their relatives this is really sinister coming back to the turkish thing you know it's the first president. van nato country is in sanctions against another nieto member country and it is doing that the united states is doing that in the framework of the so-called magnitsky list you know these two turkish minister saw them on sort of the interior and our bill coming to good of the justice they are basically sanction they are attacked in the framework of the magnets why because of that or that parson from the united states who basically has been living in turkey for twenty or twenty three years. who hasn't been doing anything and then i had the states but if you tell me about it's about

freedom of religion i'm sort of i don't think. i absolutely agree with d.m. it has nothing to do about freedom of conscience and religion here it's really about changing the behavior of heir to one's regime this is a lot about iraq and it's a lot about syria and iran and russia and the interesting thing is that the european union they will they will buckle and they will take a knee the turks are not going to take a knee and we're going to find this out fast and hard in november because they're not going to respect the sanctions imposed upon them by the united states visa be iran's go ahead alex. yeah i think i think that the united states and e.u. are going to be very surprised to see a very strong heir to one a very determined and they want to not buckle and what we saw in turkey last week and we discussed this peter what we saw in turkey was a turkey that is exploring its options we saw there going to the brics meeting we

saw. russia and all the brics members very happy to have turkey on board and we're seeing turkey now even examining even examining it considering its nato membership and this is huge is the geo political earthquake to see turkey it's like greggs it shifted it's like my friends it it's a it's a brags that here it is flirting right now it's the in the bazaar right now because i don't see them leaving nato anytime soon but it's planting the seed we have options we have friends already been excluded from the united states weapons program i mean it's serious you know that the rhetoric between turkey and the you of was all fully in the last few months so basically all of this adventure in the me there was that mr obama stopped it you know when he basically support the insurgents against the syrian government it backfired terribly because what did the

united states want to do from their point of view of interests of the united states they wanted to take a small regime which was basically north anti-american but which had to be syrian regime what was their net result then last march more important ally turkey in the process and they failed to alter the syrian regime but i just want to return very quickly to this very important detail about the magnitsky act let us remind our listeners and all of us what it came from you know in two thousand and twelve the united states supported a rogue businessman bill browder. you know he's a lawyer a dyed in the russian prison and brawled it turned it again. there's a even dole there is an excellent documentary. going out on the internet on you tube but you have to look for it because browder and his people having it taken down left it just a few warts you know bro they came to russia in the nineteen ninety s. with four to six meter is money he left russia in two thousand and five with two

billion you know he you know paid taxes on the well paul matter for what is now being investigated for known play in texas on that and wallace which out von thought wasn't all of them on that bill brought about by bill browder shared his u.s. citizenship. so now we have. facing a possible sentence of three hundred years and broadly shared a lot more of them. careful here you know that it's with the turkish theme here because i think you know i brought up with alex here this is like a looming briggs it i mean everyone is a very difficult person to work with the ladies but he's certainly sending very strong signals that he's not happy with the status quo most he has. never ok to be part of the european union he's beginning to see is almost get into a shooting war with russia we should forget about eighteen months ago they patched

this one over very nicely mr putin forgave him for god. but the problem is if you look at russian policy russian economic policy russia has been able to defy the empire because they have been had they've had a very careful and very conservative domestic policy turkey has not the leader is forming like a rock. turkish business is very heavily indebted they have to refinance huge amount but there are far shin's aren't there not well i mean i would be a good guy isn't that you would be a good reason to join briggs when it you would have access to international. not provide the kind of finance that turkey needs right now fires trying to provide state state finance they do not provide much private finance we member the r. and b. it's still not convertible the hunk on banks are scared to death of the american so they will not provide any support to any sanction the entity chinese banks they

can't because they don't have a convertible currency yet but they have a whole lot of dollars go ahead but i don't think they want the chinese going to probably china is not very happy with the united states know that not only turkey is not a process yes. process has just impost import tariffs on two hundred billion dollars of all sorts of chinese imports to the states china responded by a much smaller strike and tell me now who is hampering creek trade here let me hold c g m p and you know the dollar was for just one year ago he said this we must promote trade and investment lieberman is asian and precipitation through opening up and say no to protectionism and of course this is exactly the rhetoric that the united states has been using against other countries for fifty years at least right now in the region where the reason we're waiting for the development of an

alternative global financial system and because we want it we see it right around the corner the problem is this is a decade long process i was lakes a lot of time and i mean global combine these are priced in dollars most of global capital flows you know it's so china can begin to replace leaders but they've got to do it in their own they're not a little experiment with it up we've already gotten a lot of examples here how the sanction warfare works but you know when the primary the hedge i'm on with the mighty dollar you started tag and i seen too many people at the same time yes then you know our politics is always about odd bedfellows ok you're going to have these odd bedfellows beginning to work together and this is going to be at the exclusion of the united states alex go ahead. yeah especially when you attack a nice leaders like you're the one and we can't forget that after the coup the

failed coup aired a lot made sure that he purged the military of all its power and he solidified his power and much like trump in the u.s. air to want it has has a base in the middle of turkey insights turkey that's very very loyal to him and no matter how bad the situation can get in turkey or don't want can always turn to his base and he can make sure that he's going to stay in power and that's the problem that the u.s. sent taconite leaders that are very powerful that have a very strong base that will support them through thick and through thin well i think it's very important. it was used against turkey because what so what is it about the makings kept it is against western values people are included in that blacklist without them we would know we're going yeah without a trial if you know it's just an offer that the newark times or the washington post write some to back up all this person right and until now these were russians

targeted by this this now these are turks to morrow maybe chinese this will have to have a coalition against these kind of policy from the united states which is basically defending western where we all support it i think we can all agree is that the united states is going to eventually create a coalition of countries which are simply too uncomfortable with the system which has been shown to be very very dangerous to them and at some point the are going to begin to coalesce around china which is the elephant in the elevator now this is something that trump understood and trump was very much desirous of pulling china pulling russia away from china when we discussed this so many time there i think of worst i think the first test here general we're almost out of time and the first test is going to be in november what country. these are going to obey what washington when it comes to iran's oil experts we are exports we already know

that turkey is not going to honor it that's going to be is not going in the is not going to do it china certainly is not so that you know this is going to be a very interesting litmus test at the same time we have a long hot and cold rhetoric coming out of. the white house when it comes to around so that will be a developing story right gentlemen to jump in here that's all the time we have for this part of our program many thanks to our guests in moscow and in cyprus this is the end of our broadcast segments stay with us for the extended version on our you tube channel see you next time and remember crosstalk. if.

you see a good. church secret indeed priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the geographic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not know the highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that of that's known as the i and then i conclude that it is this out in. both. cases both. politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or

rejected. so when one of the first century. or something i want to be preached. at should like to be first it's like that before last three of them or can people get. interested always in the waters of my house. and i am the shit and. first. of all those doubts. in georgia shows don't google so diageo out on the first thanks. to hush. the student is likely to tell you. that the first. run. around eight hundred eighty two there were only two most rigid. groups or so because the she in your. world. was the right.

through mutual must look to. the weirdos but it's a real. if they were. fortunate in that what. we've heard. was remarkable to smile at.

well look. here. with me sanctions however the move gets little support for. the restrictions to protect companies working with. donald trump again airlines plans to create a military force in space although the pentagon appears less than enthusiastic about a possible star wars program and also coming up later we catch up with a united with their families after the children were taken from russia by their radicalized parents who went to join islamic. i remember when the film crew arrived and they showed me the. i could not believe it i could not believe that it was possible that my girls could come back her and she doesn't let me go anywhere.

hello there she is gone seven pm here in moscow you're watching international we'll start this hour with the news that washington has announced the first round of sanctions against iran which it hopes will weaken the country's leadership however the move may not be getting a smooth as the u.s. had hoped let's find out why and speak to our correspondents he's in washington for us and also peter oliver who's in berlin good evening to you just. we'll start with you just run through them what's been said and what will be affected by the sanctions. well the first round of sanctions that will take effect tuesday around midnight from that moment on sanctions will prohibit juran from trading and metals and. including gold and sales of iranian automobiles will be banned now the first

round of sanctions will also ban iran's access to the u.s. dollar and place restrictions on its own currency but the worst is yet to come a more sanctions are due to hit iran in november and those are specifically tailored to bring iran's oil experts to the euro targeting iran's energy fix sector specifically all petroleum related transactions and all transactions with the central bank rerun now vish it come as no surprise given that trump has been slamming the iran deal since his campaign days even though he didn't give in until much later of finally withdrawing this past may a little over a year into his presidency saying that it was ineffective in curtailing the so-called iranian aggression now trump also claimed that the agreement did not block all paths to an iranian nuclear bomb which according to the e.u. and the un is false even today the e.u. in the un insists that iran is in full compliance with the deal the same deal that was lauded the world over as a diplomatic breakthrough believe it or not just this past weekend trump bragged

about crippling iran's quantum made by a twitter of course is part form of choice when it comes to informing americans about critical policy decisions however several analysts as well as some iranians feel a bit differently. i believe the impact of sanctions on people's lives has been very clear especially in the health sector for patients as well as the opportunities that are there for students to study abroad the impact has been wholly negative and has reduced people power one thousand one thousand miles but these sanctions are economic sanctions and they will impact the livelihoods of people the government after all can make adjustments to its budget but it's the people who bear the brunt i don't buy trump's line that these sanctions target the government these sanctions are being directly apply to the people. ok let's go to peter. because the e.u. has given quite a stir in response isn't it to these sanctions well that's right it's fair to say

that the european union and donald trump haven't seen eye to eye on a number of issues they fell out over the decision to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem and in israel they fell out over donald trump's unilateral move to pull out of the paris climate accord but it's his decision to pull out of the iran nuclear deal that upset some of the biggest names in european leaders as well as in this among the diplomats and there was a communique issued well before this announcement that said the european union stance on the new tranche of sanctions was a unanimous no but others we are determined to protect european economic operators in legitimate business with iran this is why european union's updated blocking statute enters into force under seven of august to protect e.u. companies doing legitimate business with iran from the same pact of u.s. extraterritorial sanctions. so what is the blocking start to it well it was

initially written into law back in one thousand nine hundred six it was designed to allow european companies to get around a u.s. blockade of cuba however it was significantly rewritten earlier this year to focus on iran what it means essentially is that european companies have to pay no heed to sanctions against a country in which they're doing business say iran in this case and also that any court rulings in a foreign country based on those business dealings another fight in the eyes of the e.u. but put it this way with a hypothetical example say you're an e.u. car manufacturer and you've got yourself a toehold in a run maybe tens perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars worth of business that would be protected by the e.u. however the e.u. can't protect in another country say the united states and say you that same e.u. car manufacturer and you do tens of billions of dollars worth of business in the

u.s. well that business could potentially be penalized we haven't seen the e.u. blocking start to it ever fully interacted we don't know how it's going to be received but certainly potentially a legal headache for some people far smarter than myself right now to be going through that however in response to this news from the european union there's been a warm reception from tehran. to do the entire world has shown it disagrees with the u.s. policy against iran talk to anyone anywhere in the world and they will tell you that netanyahu trump and been so man are isolated not iran well the u.s. secretary of state might pompei o disagree strongly with that he says that the sanctions and needed against iran to bring them back to what he calls the table of normal nations. we've got to behave like a normal country that's the ask is pretty simple we think that most other countries everyone with whom i spoke understood that they need to behave normally and they

understand that this is a country that threatens them. it would seem that those countries that secretary pompei i spoke to were not countries because this is where we stand at the moment the european union has issued its toughest legislation to protect companies doing business in iran essentially saying that they won't support u.s. sanctions and they're going to do their best to try and keep the iran at nuclear deal alive even without the united states is going to rumble on isn't it for some time thanks peter was peter all of their forests in berlin an earlier similar accounting in washington thanks to by. now it has been one year since we first reported on russian speaking children found in an orphanage in iraq following the brutal military operation there against islamic state after the report was said we launched a campaign to find any relatives of those children and several people did come forward saying that they had recognized some of them this led to those orphans

being reunited with their families years after their parents had left russia to join i saw our correspondent meeting the question of spoke to those families to find out whether they've managed to move on after the tragic experience. some say. if. a year ago two small sisters had d's and fights hemo were brought back to their grandparents who at the time lost all hope of ever seeing them again b.c. they feel safe here in this house the sister salue can behave like any other child of their age despite their traumatic experience their playground is now the two

rooms upstairs that were once home for their parents their grandfather on of our hasn't changed a thing since they left and now the girls play so round and buy things that once belonged to that if a black couple were while the oldest sister is open and active fight scene is quite close to often seeking the confort of her grandfather. but she doesn't let me go anyway she says had dad also left in the morning and never came back in the evening she tells me how the gas station where he worked with. tells me how the plane has arrived and they have all been let. go. and are often speaks about the day in august twenty seventeen when they discovered their beloved granddaughter source in my life one of the most when i first read the news . in may twenty fifteen both of

fund our son secretly left russia to join i so his al distraught took his wife and two young daughters and never revealed his true intentions. that it's actually is what's about a week off today lou. i received a message from my son saying they are in turkey i replied what do you mean in turkey instantly i understood everything and felt terrible this sort of thing happened a lot of the time a lot of young people left some went to join militant groups others went to iraq or syria it's not. often called his father but the last time he got in touch with when the fierce fighting began in moscow a short time after he and his wife were killed in a drone strike leaving her and all alone weeks later they turned up in an orphanage in baghdad scared and traumatized they were among the group of children who could speak russian.
