course said that they've received no such request and have talked about the number of speculations that have been flying around involving these cases says this incident there have been no less than a hundred reports based on leaks and sources that's why we shouldn't rely on this information we don't trust unconfirmed reports in the media hopefully with this latest upcoming o.p.c. w. visit more information will be shed on those two cases. lebanese arthur knew some twenty ultra orthodox jews have been arrested after clashing with israeli police at the rally against army conscription. i was it was thought was

come back now u.s. sanctions against iran which have just come into force have seen whole prices spike with analysts predicting that the trend will continue with the u.s. preparing yet more sanctions to use the u.k. iran's second largest trading partner has shown it's ready to protect european companies doing business with tirant. we are determined to protect european economic operators engaged in legitimate business with iran this is why your opinions updated blocking statute enters into force on the seventh of august to protect e.u. companies doing legitimate business with iran from the mpact of u.s. extraterritorial sanctions we believe that it is and it has to be up to.

the europeans in this case to the side with home to trade. well the first round of sanctions prohibits iran from using the us dollar and restricts trying in precious metals it also includes limiting iranian currency flows as well as constraints on the cartwright spirit co nine takes a look at the kind of impact u.s. sanctions have had in the past the trumpet ministration has imposed so we think sanctions on iran with the goal of her tailing so-called iranian aggression and blocking all path to iranian nuclear radiation now the outcome of such a move is hard to predict but from what we've seen so far unilateral u.s. sanctions are rarely successful but that certainly wasn't for lack of trying the department of treasury is sanctioning turkey's minister of justice the next it has issued sanctions on key russian oligarchs we would force the band or during the united states will stand idly by as venezuela.

we will enforce the embargo the question is are sanctions. the u.s. announced it would be sanctioning turkish officials over on crowe's detainment of an american pastor turkey didn't respond so highly you know shown patience but the step america has taken does not with its a step taken towards a strategic partner in america has shown serious disrespect towards turkey as you can guess the pastor is yet to be released. the us has imposed round after round of sanctions against moscow but have any demands been met now even from russia hardliners have admitted that previous sanctions against moscow have been ineffective the current sanctions regime has for you to deter russia from meddling in the upcoming two thousand and eighteen midterm elections and the republican senators groundbreaking solution more sanctions but years have gone by and crimea

is still part of russia russia still in syria and russia is apparently still trying to influence elections at least according to some american politicians and media out. cuba has been under us thanks to the early sixty's and have and it's still under u.s. sanctions but those restrictions haven't been successful in churchgoing a capitalist overthrow the cuban government was still very much a communist state the unilateral sanctions don't work we've seen that in cuba for many many years where the u.s. tried to unilaterally crush the economy of cuba it didn't work it didn't work in iran under both republican and democratic administrations previously it's a stepping stone towards possible military actions what they do is to some extent they have and. to some extent their political organizing by imposing the sanctions first it's a step that in their view would help legitimize it or sit in washington you think

that the u.s. is all powerful militarily and can win any war that it wants. to kick him to the negotiating table but those things just weren't unilateral but most high lateral thinking back twenty when your account we've brought new accountability to the north korean regime when north korea continued its illegal missile test we brought all the nations of the security council together including china and russia to impose new sanctions but some would argue a sanctions lead to pretty disappointing results. mary kom that the son of a jailed to bahraini opposition figure is going on hunger strike over his father's alleged mistreatment in prison. has begun his protest outside the country's london embassy he told us why he feels the case needs to be highlighted.

my father was seventy years old serving life in prison and behind bars they thought showing him they were telling him they are. in denial for medical treatment there for me to visit these acts is the book even what it but. in. spite of that my father called for robbing the dictator of regime in my country i'm talking about the basic rights which is medical treatment tool to man who is seventy years old. i'm calling for family visitation because he did i mean see my family i mean from fifteen to

eighteen months but this is the reason for denial medical treatment for seven years what man did is not nor absolutely did is not acceptable reason. lare he continues to receive medical attention along with his prescribed medications and a special diet as part of his medical regime. i wrote a letter to one piece i can do for you moist organization about my father situation but because nothing changed and they've been my father is dying destroyed. or we have aspirations foreign affairs ministry to comment on those allegations of human rights violations although so far we haven't had a reply. that thousands of displaced syrians are returning home as government forces drive out the last pockets of militant resistance the country's media reports a special refugee committee is being set up to coordinate the process of

resettlement and to help millions of citizens rebuild their lives where some news outlets do see the situation a bit differently as artie's you got it done off explains. a brutal despot a mass murderer a children gassing animal the nicknames the international media tag the syrian president bashar assad with self-explanatory as to why seven million syrians had fled the country since two thousand and eleven pundits prophesies the dictatorship must come down before anyone would dare to go home when we asked them about president bashar al assad they said they don't want he dead because that would be too easy is the syrian government in fact more than isis that has ruined their lives and led to so much of the refugee crisis they escape with their children and if you possessions but as they cross the border to safety many also bring their

hatred of the man they blame for leaving them homeless come twenty team the syrian army is one by one retaking new areas from opposing factions and he assad forces once in charge of the larger part of syria are reduced to two small pockets of land and what's that a tide of refugees is coming home we want to go back we want to return to our beloved syria i want my daughter to have a future she doesn't. have then i want to go back to syria returned home a lesser sad as to why i am going back there is no place like home we were not happy here thank god safety and security are back in syria and danny now we are hopefully returning home it's not a case of a few mad men who are for some twisted reason seeking to return under the regime of a tyrant according to the russian defense ministry out of those seven million that

escape the conflict more than one and a half are seeking to come back to syria now there's more the path has already been paved for them the u.n. recorded more than seven hundred thousand series. who returned last year and began rebuilding their lives. thank god the electricity is back and life went back to normal again i want to fix my home leave and sleep with peace of mind of course there are millions who are still too afraid to go back for many it is indeed the dread of us stopping them but those who did and are returning may very well inspire hundreds of thousands more to go back to their roots. from human rights watch to tell us that the people returning home also need additional assistance it's difficult to keep track of all the numbers of people

that are going back but we do know that some individuals have returned to government territory and the territory that has been held now by democratic forces the forces does include just police from other parts of the country as well as. the richmond area so some syrians are electing to return others continue to remain. countries and other countries for fear that they would be caught out in the conflict or. persecution by the government there is a construct of the russian government other governments. and ensuring that conditions do develop. confidence and return you. know many as homeland security office is raising the alarm over the rise of islamic radicalism among young people in the country it is prompting politicians to call for the

lowering of the minimum age when someone can be under surveillance currently children must be at least forty. this is not about criminalizing people under the age of fourteen but about warding off significant threats to our country like islamic terrorism which also targets children the inhibition threshold for violence is lower in these children the authorities therefore need the tools to take care of traumatised and violent return these under the age of fourteen well according to the report by germany's homeland security office there are currently around three hundred children who've been educated since birth with an extremist worldview the document also says the children come both from families that have gone to war zones and those that haven't but the interior minister says that families which travel to conflict areas need to be prioritized when it comes to surveillance. we have knowledge of more than one thousand islamist german nationals or from germany

who've traveled in the direction of syria and iraq to become part of the islamic groups about a third of these people return to germany is mainly about extremely meticulously evaluating the danger that lies within these people. or the country's main opposition party the n.t. immigrant alternative to germany does support putting miners under surveillance but the left party insists that the authorities should concentrate on adult extremists . do potential victims care whether they're being attacked by a thirteen year old with a knife whether it's a big islamist stabbing them it is necessary to go with an iron broom and transport all fanatics where they belong the real issues not sure are you know are scared of some nine year old children are not legally liable for their actions under the age of forty one of them going to do they actually are you should instead be focusing all the efforts on the real terrorists that we have and as long as we have

terrorists running around on the streets and recruiting people of course there is a threat to our children to be recruited i think what the domestic intelligence services try to distract strong is their complete and utter failure to deal with the real islamic terrorists and us watching out international have more needs to be in the headlines in thirty minutes.

this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm bart chilton and thank you for joining coming up today on the program as a mission standards are being proposed to be relaxed in the united states what should we expect in our automakers dealing with the various legal matters related to the use by some of those so called the devices to take compliance with the missions west tyson slocum of public citizens energy program and the car coach lauren fix and with the second quarter profits in for mcdonald's the toughest week takes a look at the hamburger giants major moves and lets us know what is taking the biggest bite from their profits and as promised we take a deeper dive into the july jobs report or do so with the able assist of steve malzberg all that on tap but first let's get to the u.s.

and the european union is effort to avoid e.u. businesses from being impacted by u.s. economic sanctions against iran as today the u.s. has asserted its plan to impose maximum pressure on iran by vigorously imposing such sanctions at midnight the bell will tall the e.u. effort known as the blocking statute is fashioned to guard against e.u. companies from u.s. sanctions and keep a lie they deal planned to limit iranian government's nuclear ambitions european businesses have been instructed that they should not observe demands from a trump administration for them to curtail all commerce with iran those companies which choose to pull. out because of u.s. sanctions will need to be approved by the european commission or face potential lawsuits by e.u. member states a joint statement by the foreign ministers of the e.u. twenty eight members showed their resolve saying quote we are determined to protect european economic operators and gauge and legitimate business with iran will have

more on how iran is hedging their bets on the sanctions coming up a little bit later in the broadcast and breaking news today as facebook is asking banks to share their users personal financial information with the social media site so that facebook can send them new products no fank you the wall street journal broke the story earlier today the journal says facebook executives have been talk with banks including wells fargo j.p. morgan and citibank over creating features such as displaying their account balances to facebook users or fraud alerts banks are reportedly wary of partnering with facebook especially after the cambridge analytical scandal and a steady drumbeat of corporate data breaches heightened concerns over online privacy but the other side of the ledger big banks may also feel pressure to make a deal from the follow from fear of missing out on the ground floor of the of the merger of social media and finance a merger with the norm is potential profits we'll keep an eye on this and other

related stories as they develop. the global heat wave is taking a toll in japan where nearly one hundred people have perished nationwide including at least fifty deaths in tokyo alone last month the new record for the hottest temperature ever recorded in japan was set it forty one point one degrees celsius that's one hundred six degrees fahrenheit on july twenty third and many of the deaths were of older people who didn't have or weren't using their air conditioning a spike in demand for electricity to power those ac units as push prices japan to record highs and even have spurred the reactivation of some older carbon producing power platforms when the impact. trench will rains and landslides in early july as added over three hundred people in japan were killed by weather related events last month and meanwhile canada's heat wave took the lives of an estimated seventy people in the province of quebec in july and production livestock is also taking a heavy toll on producers as producers struggle to keep animals alive with limited

water or feel our feet in the province of british columbia the power company b.c. hydro set a new hourly power demand record of seventy eight hundred megawatts on monday and the u.k. is experience with driest summer in fifty seven years while in spain soaring temperatures are said to be the cause of deaths of at least three people while temperatures in portugal of one hundred fifteen degrees fahrenheit or forty six degrees celsius have reached near record levels. we spoke about corporate average fuel economy standards a bit on the broadcast last week those are the cafe standards that the trump administration is to relaxing and as promised we are going to talk about this little bit more and we'll get into these defeat devices used by some car companies to fake compliant was such a mission's test to help us out now we turn to tyson slocum the director of public citizen's energy program and lauren fix the car coach and president of the north american car truck and utility vehicle of the ward you're the work thanks so much

for being here guys thanks to both laurent so we've talked about these standards in the past but these defeat devices that have been being used all over the world by i don't know what is it three or four different car companies now we've got who v.w. audi who else is out there nissan well that's volkswagen groups to get our volkswagen group is is audi and volkswagen it's also porsche so under that group they were using defeat devices because they over promised and under delivered their bosses essentially by us and we could make these vehicles fuel efficient as well as not have to carry blue which is the rio they put in the exhaust so that it actually lowers the emissions coming out to tell pipe well they couldn't do that so. they cheated the system and did it and put it in test mode whenever the vehicle idled and certain factors occurred so they got caught and then sure that does happen pretty much any time other manufacturers have been fine the only ones we know a hundred percent for sure because they were found guilty is volkswagen and of course two c.e.o.'s went to prison for that c.d.o. a v.w. and the c.e.o.

of audi right out yeah they came at them in the middle of the night like they were real criminals i mean i guess it's all relative and depends upon what you think a criminal is but they certainly didn't murder anybody but i thought it was a bit aggressive yeah tyson sorry we got you back now at the audio sorry about that give us a little bit of history on these cafe standards they've been around for a long time but really been pushed to the forefront by the obama administration when whence they came and what are they doing now right so they were first established in one nine hundred seventy five as a centerpiece of american policy response to the arab oil embargo of the early one nine hundred seventy s. and from one nine hundred seventy five up until now fuel economy standards are the most efficient way for not only the united states but nations all over the world to control. gasoline consumption and so they have been wildly successful as

a policy tool to not only prompt innovation in the automobile sector but deliver savings and safety standards for american consumers and global consumers and so the fuel economy standards had lagged for a bit during the one nine hundred ninety s. and then there was bipartisan legislation signed into law by president george w. bush in two thousand and seven that vastly expanded opportunities to increase fuel economy standards and that's exactly what president barack obama did first in two thousand and twelve and then in his last month of his presidency extended these. you'll economy standards forward into the future so right now the united states the combined fuel economy standards of light trucks and automobiles is about thirty two miles a gallon and under the obama proposal they were going to go from thirty two miles a gallon up to forty five miles

a gallon by two thousand and twenty five what the trumpet ministration proposal would do would be to wipe out most of those games you would only see the fuel economy standards increase from the current thirty two miles a gallon up to thirty seven miles a gallon and this would be probably the most significant regulatory rollback by the trump administration in terms of its impact on increasing oil demand in the united states the estimates would be increasing demand by as much as eight hundred thousand barrels of oil per day by twenty thirty five it also would significantly increase greenhouse gas emissions because the more efficient that an automobile is in its use of gasoline the less it consumes per mile driven and so you would see a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions by getting rid of the increase the trumpet ministration we're going to see increase in greenhouse gas emissions equal

to the state more than seventy countries in the world so this is going to have a big impact also on consumer wallets about two hundred billion dollars in increased fuel expenses by two thousand and thirty five more and what's your take and can the do you think the automakers can comply with the. the standards of the exists now not the ones that are proposed. well let's start off with currently is thirty four point five miles to the gallon is the corporate average fuel economy and right now manufacturers are coming in around the little under that can they meet that fifty five miles a gallon no only for goal lector vehicles we make cars lighter which makes them unsafe and you've got to remember what are people buying right now to look at the numbers the car sales have dropped almost five percent just in one month people buy s.u.v.s and trucks nor to make those electric you're talking about large batteries that are powered by cobalt neodymium cadmium lithium these are all rare earth

minerals and who owns all these mines china owns all these mines so we're now going to shift our ally from saudi arabia to china that's not a wise idea based on today's situation with tariffs and so forth even if that gets washed you still have a problem with what are we going to do with these batteries down the road and how are they going to affect the environment because there's no there's no way to recycle them they can only be used so long and then all these very dangerous rare earth minerals are going to be stuck somewhere stepped up like our solar panels all around the world so one of the things that the trumpet ministration had said is this is actually a relief to manufacturers yes they project out five years ten years in advance to produce products the only reason they're producing electric vehicles is because they're forced to produce electric vehicles sales of them are less than two percent the vehicles are lighter and more expensive and consumers aren't buying new cars they're not keeping cars longer over the last four years the average car length of keeping a vehicle used to be ten years now it's four to.
