that later on these people healthy and alive and address the press conference in the cake and told how these fake wheedled was made that actually continue what you just said happened but it's not only r t in a few other outlets reported the backstory to this is a false flag operation all the others concentrated on the who paid for these people to come from damascus to the gate well keep these people are on t.v. do that you showed to the whole world you said they were victims of a chemical attack why don't you want to listen to them and i really have to really get a really good alex we're going to go back to cyprus here one more minute before we go to the break here so it looks like russia russia russia is going to be continued all the way to the midterms 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 man if 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.

we have no idea what so if he's doing on vacation but she will be back on air in september. first. of all those. two issues don't go till so document on the first thanks. to. the first. nearly. eight hundred eighty two leave it to most bridget does. some of the she.

knew. that they were. fortunate enough. to suggest to her. school full time school she might want to strive all at. max keiser financial survival the state. of south philly let's say i'm a. grease base of the fight. thank you for helping.

destroy that's true. lavery. welcome back to crossfire 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 humility to an earlier this is warfare by different means that it's sanction warfare and we see the u.s. applying it in particularly what's maybe what's nuanced here and the trumpet ministration that it's a good used again sport of quote 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 wasn't 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 to the missiles so basically what they can do and they've 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 and others were very distant from the kremlin major russian companies have certainly been become unable 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 but also it's people will use the euro but the europeans. of 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 individuals in particular this is this is but this is all very unilateral here isn't it just a little footnote not only people on the streets of moscow but all 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 but also their relatives this is really sinister coming back to the turkish thing you know it's the first president when varney to a country is playing sanctions against another nico member country and it is doing that the united states is doing that in the framework of the so-called magnitsky just you know these two. ministers sort in mind sort of the interior and the bill coming to good of the justice they are basically sanction they are attacked in the framework of that needs to be used 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 in the united states but if you tell me about it's about freedom of religion i'm sort of i don't mean i've you know. absolutely agree with diem it has nothing to do about freedom of conscience and religion here it's really about changing the behavior of the ones regime this is a lot about iraq and it's a lot about syria and then and russia in 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 the e.u. are going to be very surprised to see a very strong air go on

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 that 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 geopolitical earthquake to see turkey it's like greggs it shifted it's like my friends it 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 that's already been excluded from the united states weapons program i mean it's syria and all of that rhetoric between turkey and the you of was all full 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 insurgency 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 a broad history 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 magnates can't let us remind our listeners and all of us what it came from you know in two thousand and twelve the united states support that rogue businessman bill browder. you know he's a lawyer died in the russian prison and brawled it turned it again. there is so even though 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 are just a few warts you know bro they came to russia in the nineteen ninety s. with four to six million although not his 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 thaw wasn't there a moment that bill brought about by bill browder shared his u.s. citizenship on time so now we have. fought facing a possible sentence of three hundred years. more of them. not under careful here you know that it's stick 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 a lady's hand 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 isn't he almost got 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 businesses are very heavily indebted they have to refinance huge amount but there are aren't there not well i mean i would be a good guy isn't that i 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 banks are scared to death of the americans 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 dean mothered go ahead but i don't think they want the chinese going to the problem with china is not very good with the united states know that not only turkey is not going to 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 called c g m p and you know the dark horse 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 if you're in the region where there is a when you'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 on this lawmakers a lot of time and i mean global combiner these are priced in dollars most of global capital flows real dollars so china can begin to replace leaders but they've got to do it in their own they're not a little experiment with bit of 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 sing 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 incites turkey that's very very loyal to him and no matter how bad the situation can get in turkey aired a lot 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. and taconite are using 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's what is it about the makings kicked it is against western values people are included in that blacklist without them we would know we're going yeah without

a trial you know it's just in all of that the newark times or the washington post write some to back up all these persons right and until now these were russian started by this this now these are turks to morrow maybe chinese so you have you 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 away from china when we discuss this so many times i think of worst i think the first test here general we're almost out of time the first test

is going to be in november what country. these are going to obey we're on 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 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.

you see a good bye. is a. church secret indeed just like 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 where the previous standard was not know the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that of that's not as the i intend then i conclude that it is this is out in. this. case both. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to express emotion. or somehow want to be preached. to the right to be press it's like that before three in the morning can't be good. interested always in the waters and how. fast the ship and. and then with a post. from the. last time we chased. each one of them carrying twenty kilos of drugs to this very first offense. believe that they just kept going for it. is the very

real i mean the monocle man they have this is the this is for me. i like it isn't it. i don't see a porno baby don't you know me. i walk down a great. part. for now what. i'm. looking. for the. leader of the moment a little. league. of

. us imposes new sanctions on iran but gets pushback from the e.u. with brussels funks what's next companies working with the wrong. claims of double standards emerge in the u.s. after a conservative activist says suspended. the controversial journalist to use racist tweets from a platform for years. with their families after the children were taken from russia by their radicalized current school work to join islamic state. i remember when the film crew arrived and they showed me the footage i could not believe it i could not believe that it was possible that my girls could come back home she doesn't let me go anywhere.

from three am and mosque. with all kinds of you are thanks for joining us this. is the first round of sanctions against iran which it hopes will weaken the country's leadership president trump since threatened severe consequences for those who continue to trade with the country still want everyone seems to be on board my colleague andrew farmer earlier got more details from samir khan and peter one of the. the first round of sanctions will take effect tuesday around midnight and from that moment on sanctions will prohibit iran from trading gold and other precious metals and fails of iranian automobiles will also 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 more

sanctions are due to hit iran in november and those are specifically tailored to bring iran's oil exports to zero now this should come as no surprise given that trump has been slamming the iran deal since its campaign days even though he didn't give in until much later finally withdrawing this past may a little over a year into his presidency they said it was ineffective in tailing so-called iranian aggression now not even his allies or the un convinced otherwise but trump also claimed that the agreement did not block paths to iranian nuclear is ation which according to the u.n. is false even today u.n. monitors insists that iran is in full compliance with the deal the same deal that was lauded world over as a diplomatic breakthrough and believe it or not this past weekend trump bragged about crippling iran's economy via twitter of course his platform of choice when it comes to informing americans about critical policy decisions but several analysts and 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 is one of the opportunities that are there for students to study abroad the impact has been wholly negative and has reduced people power into. these sanctions sorry konami 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 but trump has stated that he's open to signing an. new deal but it's doubtful that iran would want to sit down with the u.s. after recent events ok let's go to peter. because the e.u. has given quite a stern response isn't it to the 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 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 seventh of august to protect e.u. companies doing legitimate business but he ran from the impact 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 courtroom 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 you can manufacture 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 illegal 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 today the entire world has shown it disagrees with the u.s. policies against iran talk to anyone anywhere in the world and they will tell you that netanyahu trump and been some manner isolated not iran well the u.s. secretary of state might pompei i 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 they'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 who understand 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 nuclear deal alive even without the united states the iranian president has this mr trump's call for debate saying diplomatic dialogue means honesty which he says the u.s. president currently lacks. you saw there aren't any good my mom was ok she actions with sanctions doesn't make sense sanctions on a rainy in children nations the whole nation was if you stab someone with a knife and then you say you want negotiations with and first thing you have to do is remove some of them or to get more on this let's go live to soraya support for all independent research and write a thanks for joining us or our good to have you on as always where exactly does this leave us iran relations i mean they've never been good obviously in the last few decades there was hope for some reconciliation if the e.u. were on board does this leave any hope for improvement at all. not at all in fact

i was in iran where president trump announced that his pulling out of the deal and iran like any other country in the world there are there are certain elements certain percentage of the population that is pro the west that is pro america after his announcement there is no america has lost all its base support in iraq i don't think anybody would be inclined to negotiate with the united states or improve relations because trump has shown america for what her tears and as the famous saying goes you know for me once shame on you for me twice shame on me so if you run would be very foolish to trust the united states but having said that i'm going to be a bit contradictory about these european bloc in statute because i have to and i have to ask as an analyst why is it that this was issued so late in the game i mean the companies have left and it's very unlikely any companies would go back to iraq

so why is it is the european union present at this park is that it before and i mean today i have it will go into effect tomorrow so that's mind boggling it's if you know standing here in my little corner not affected by sanctions and thinking does the e.u. really has presented this as a way for iran to up hold this end of the bargain without getting any benefits whatsoever so you know it would be. very naive to believe that the europeans are are behaving as they should in all this as well if they are they play the good cup of the bad cop i don't know maybe they are genuine but if they were genuine and knowing their problems would occur with trampling galleries and governance he gave plenty of warning. they sat on this i know it's very difficult to renegotiate there's a to rewrite this nine hundred ninety six law but surely it's. wouldn't it not need

take this long for it to be finalized does i have thirty two words that it's well sure i mean does the fact that the e.u. won't be washer won't be joined in washington with these sanctions and indeed the you know the blocking statute is the one used before it's going to be quite difficult legally to pull off does that suggest there's going to be some sort of rift on go on between the e.u. and the us which will perhaps get in the way of finding some sort of solution to this crisis. well perhaps you know what one says is rarely what one does i mean it wasn't yesterday or the day before their french economy minister was saying we got america's permission to send five plays to iraq now if they're going to run to america for permission to do whatever for them to trade with iran then what does that quite to this whole statute and first place and secondly america i mean why are they not notice into america practicing extrajudicial.
