sanctions canada had heavy steel and aluminum tariffs imposed earlier this year and trump perhaps thought the stars and stripes needed some protection from its northern neighbor who didn't take too kindly to it that its kind of insult to move forward with retaliatory measures on july first applying equivalent tariffs as if that wasn't bad enough the us president went and slapped tariffs on europe day i'm defending america's national security by placing tariffs on foreign imports of steel and aluminum brussels tried to hit back with restrictions of its own tried to appeal to the transatlantic solidarity special relations bonds of friendship but to no avail and it begs the question with such a long list of enemies the us is currently fighting from iran to north korea russia china why kick your allies we have to move with talks about putting america first

because his allies also it with america first to the head of their own interests and this is beginning i think decouple some of. the most obviously he's really trying to assert american leadership and perhaps we've tended to think of it with an earth of aggressiveness in recent years has been probably military involvement in places like afghanistan and iraq but you know we're going to trump perhaps is less inclined to want to use military power but he wants to show that america's two house particular financial who get money in the world competitors like beijing and moscow attempting to pack as much heat as the u.s. these days sanctioning and scaring everyone in view may be the only way for the u.s. to impose its will on friend and foe alike donald quarter r.t. . now a military intelligence compound has been attacked in the afghan capital kabul two gunmen were killed by security forces offices were able to take control of the

building from where the gunmen had been firing at the compounds and thereby university was placed on lockdown no group has yet claimed responsibility though for the attack this latest assault comes as the country's security services struggle to deal with a spike in terror attacks. my friends and i were sitting and examined plants first period finished we went out break time afterwards all the students returned to clots two minutes later the bombs suddenly went off when i heard sound good feeling.

the nominee i mean. you know nations continues to meet with no military. victory over our. political analyst mushtaq rahim believes that the new rise of militant groups in the country is a direct consequence of the failure of the u.s. and afghan governments. the u.s. and international community has mentioned many mistakes over the course of the last one and how big it within afghanistan they have not been able to put policies in place where they can on the confidence of the i want public the government itself has not been able to deliver good governance and they have not been able to respond to the needs of the general public resulting in a loss of public confidence in the government as well as international assistance forces the americans did not work together with the countries of the region the

powers of the region such as countries in central asia russia china and i would then of honest on to create a set of consensus where they can work together towards stability in afghanistan so many factors coming together that has been the result in up so just bought a bomb as taliban have been successfully coming forward and picking what it is. now an eighty seven year old woman has been tasered by police in the u.s. state of georgia while she was out picking flowers with a knife. she does she got shot like we have never really told her about stun guns or tazers and so she doesn't know what that is when she is trying to realize what happened she is touching her heart syria native alba shara was cutting down the lines near an off to school club across the street from her home the facilities employees called the police reporting the woman was carrying a knife three offices were sent to the scene and tried to persuade out bashara to

drop the knife when she failed to respond they tasered her she was arrested and charged with trespassing and obstructing offices relatives of the women say she doesn't speak english and suffers from dementia and therefore didn't in the stands placed commands to drop the knife nevertheless offices have justified their actions . all in all the most selfless elipse of the next leader to put it down to adultery and trying to make her understand she continued while he was talking to cortex. several other recent ten students involving american pace have stakes control to say just a warning they may find the following images disturbing. you've got to go you. have.

to be still. you want to go or you. don't. know what's really. going. to. turn this and may send that to this town's community needs and the u.s. city of minneapolis thinks that place could have could have avoided using the taissa the officers had ample. opportunities to maybe deescalate this situation versus tasing this woman and we know with a. i think there was an article with the heart association that if you do directly taste people in the chest that there are chances that you could get cardiac arrest these manners of force are used upon. you know human beings in

situations where it's not even it's not even justifiable for example the lady was cutting dandelions for south so. the fact that no one went out there just trying to see what she was doing or baby died or what they call wind and that one with that night and that saying that maybe there's a possibility that she did you know possibly stop the from dementia or suffer from a mental illness that's better to you know but then you write on private property or public the. u.s. secretary of state's my pump has formed a special group that will cause an eight washington's policy on iran that says it continues to pressure the country with sanctions the heads of the iran action group will be brian hook the state department's director of policy planning he says the u.s. is prepared to sanction any country trading with iran in our sanctions regime yes

we will we are prepared to impose secondary sanctions on regimes i'm sorry on on other governments. that continue this sort of trade with iran for those sanctions will come into effect on november fifth those will include sanctions on iran's energy sector transactions by foreign financial institutions with the central bank of iran iran's shipping and ship building sectors among others the first round if new and here on sanctions when i acted earlier this month after president trump announced a u.s. withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal the sanctions prohibits iran from using the u.s. dollar and mistakes trading in precious metals it's also limits iranian currency flows as well as imposing constraints on the also trades the u.s. move is widely opposed by european countries could have a africa before my advice is to iran's nuclear negotiation team says the u.s.

is lacking broad support for its measures against iran. the united states unilaterally and very illegally reimport sanctions that have been lifted by the international community do you also if you fall through the lucian. of you know two thousand and fifteen so the question is hard can the u.s. justify paul ryan rationalization good news sanctions. the backing of the international community if the u.s. proceeds threaten. lives in europe in particular but also in asia there will distort international trade and they will not gain iran's com pliant. a young girl from the u.s. state of maryland who was reprimanded for staging a kneeling protest during much of allegiance has won the support of hillary clinton

the defeated presidential candidates tweeted that it takes courage to express disagreement with injustice eleven year old mariana taylor hopes if more people join her there's a chance of changing things it's important to stand up to. it like just to us well i kind of thing but it is a few other people just making everything so. according to the girl her teachers shouted at her over her behavior and she left the classroom in tears the american civil rights union has edged all married and school scare and guarantee students the freedom of speech with no punishment meanwhile the girl's school has issued a statement saying it's not aware of any students being disciplined for not taking part in patriotic and. mariana said that she was inspired by an american football quarterback who melts during the national anthem before a game in two thousand and sixteen his silent protest soon spreads among other

athletes this provokes this provokes fiery political debates all the way to the white house you love to see one of these in a phone. when somebody disrespects our flag to say get that son of a the field right out the star that was not against our anthem or our flag that was actually kneeling is a reference position my colleague andrew farmer discuss the issue with john william leighton a former republican member of the missile ri senate and richard goodstein former adviser to the hillary clinton presidential campaign. unless you have a goal and something that you actually have a path to accomplish then you're just disrupting you're just being an antagonist to your fellow athletes or the fans or in this case to her classmates what does she want what's going to make her stand peace on earth the reason this quarterback collin kaplan is that you refer to me old was to put the spotlight he's

a very prominent public figure to put the spotlight on something that he thought needed attention which was police brutality and they're using a black quite an indictment of course is actually something on this little girl frankly was doing the same thing if ever a cop is ever brutal to anybody the kneeling continues how do you how do you measure if there's pin police brutality since at least and the instances are extremely rare consider the considering the millions of police out there doing their job every day what's going to make the kneeling see when there is never any brutality again how do you measure that can i ask you what does it matter if people want to protest however they want to protest when they saw him to not want to come and i want you but you will get a heads up of banksy footballs about football schools about school and if you have a protest protest in a constructive way this girl can write letters to the editor she can arrange

a little march but protesting in your classroom to irritate your classmate mates and virtue signal and that's what she's being taught mom's teaching her mom is so proud that her daughter is virtue signaling that she cares more than anybody else i actually find that to make no sense if you're somebody who's been subject to discrimination and you're taking to the streets what exactly to protest your discrimination what's your objective you're just ject it is the end of discrimination you're taking to the streets is that bothersome to people is that annoying to people when you get when you get arrested disproportionately when you get shot disproportionately when you get put in jail just proportionally that's not just annoying. that's totally ruining your life if you're not protesting for a specific result then you're just antagonizing your fellow man and trying to your and your stirring strife this is strife stirring protest and the little girl needs to spend more time in a constructive manner trying to get what you want the fact you are taking to the

streets is not merely destructive you're trying to make a point and you know will we ever get to the point where there is no discrimination no there are bigoted people let's stipulate that there are people who are bigoted they will be bigoted forever donald trump is giving them a voice but the fact of the matter is it's not to say it's wrong for them to basically stand up for what they believe in that's what this little girl was doing that's all one of the politicians getting involved in this walk and we just said i . asked him perhaps n.f.l. people to protest if they want to why is it such a big deal politically the democratic party the united states gets their power on dividing people and separating us versus them there is class warfare gender warfare they want to show that everybody's got a reason for injustice and they need to vote democrat to war in order to fix it and that's all this is it's just it's pure politics. and hillary hillary clinton got millions more votes than donald trump did and her campaign theme was being

together not dividing people she wasn't mocking handicapped people and she wasn't telling punch him in the jaw i don't pay your legal bills that's not what her team was her thing was about bringing people together and she got millions had for those that john i'm sorry is the voters actually disagreed with you. the full chief john brennan has his back to donald trump revoked his security clearance brennan claims the president simply constant criticism. that's why the president revoked my security clearance to try to silence anyone who would dare challenge him mr trump's claims of no collusion are in a word hold wash. it's though it's many other officials could now suffer the same fate with the details of his teeth america. exercised my constitutional authority to deny mr brennan access to classified information sara sander spoke to press and

she said the decision to revoke brennan's clearance was based on his erratic conduct and behavior of defending the move as an effort to secure classified info from someone who has helped foment division in the past and by rarely has a very partisan leanings the most divisive president an individual who basically portrayed his nation he routinely lies betray the women of the f.b.i. he deceived and betrayed the american public and he misrepresents the facts and reality is a betrayal of the nation but this is not abnormal president john brennan left his position as director of the cia back in january twenty seventh team and he now serves as m s n b c's senior national security and intelligence analyst but this whole debacle began last month when senator rand paul called brennan's motives into question asking if he had been profiting off of his clearance by divulging secrets to the mainstream media his exact words he even met with trump asking him to revoke the clearances of not only brennan but a few other prominent political figures i'm

a valuating action with respect to the following individuals james clapper james comey michael hayden sally ates susan rice and german cave peter struck lisa page and bruce or security clearances for those who still have them may be revoked the most important things that have happened in u.s. politics in recent years is there's been a realisation that everything is political in other words that the federal bureau of investigation the cia the n.s.a. all of these u.s. agencies are not about politics it's very apparent when you have figures like brennan and komi intervening in the public to critique these organizations in and of it. joel's operate with very considerable politics they are clearly very anti trump out in all along were when they were in office and continue to be now and i think that's very problematic for the united states because what it means is

that. these these institutions that were once seen as being the parent are just partizan of the law being questioned i think it's a good thing that they're being questioned because they haven't been fair and just but it's also very disruptive to the american system as. with eleven school shootings already base here the u.s. is planning to spend almost two million toll is on training people to respond to imagines he situations can them open past the details the u.s. department of homeland security has just approved a grant to create a trauma training program for high schools around the country essentially one point eight million dollars is being offered for those who could create a long term self-sustaining mechanism for the safety of high school students teenagers are being taught how to treat gunshot wounds and deal with dangerous situations in ohio tactical grade pepper spray is being placed around the schools

now when a canister is removed alarm will sound alerting the authorities here's how one politician described the pepper spray system trust me this will stop anyone in their tracks. in north dakota the police are asking that high powered rifles be stored on school grounds meanwhile texas is jumping on the bandwagon of giving teachers guns we need our teachers to be armed we you know when you have when you're facing someone who's an active shooter the best way to take that shooter down that is with a gun but even better than that is four or five guns to one there's even talk of firearm training for preschool children it's something that we should think about america about putting guns in the hands of law abiding citizens whether they actually be counted to children or how to train for a school or a three year old cannot defend itself from and so rifle by throwing

a hello kitty pencil they said it our founding fathers did not put an age limit on the second amendment this year the back to school sales are just pencils and notebooks parents are stocking up on body armor. in a matter of seconds. you can lock the door of this they can't get shot oh you can't get around it about arming schoolteachers know all right how about

bulletproof backpacks. for real and big yes that is positive that teachers should be weapons for protection for the students i don't think it's a good idea at all i think we need to disarm everybody not our more people and if we just aren't people we wouldn't need bulletproof backpacks and what about a nationwide training program for high schoolers to deal with like gunshot wounds trauma training thing that's a fish an american seem to pretty clearly agree that school shootings are a big problem but do you stop them with more guns or less that's where americans just can't seem to agree caleb mop and artsy new york. global news up pay for this hour i'll be back in just over thirty minutes with the latest headlines.

greetings and salutations i know it's hard to believe but the united states of america didn't invent economic sanctions the athenian empire introduced the concept in the year four thirty two b.c. and apparently sponsored the mcgarry and decree against the trade port of magara between athens and sparta the people of magara work accused of planting crops on land that was consecrated to the goddess damage or the ancient great goddess so farming they were accused of sheltering escapes the right slaves from athens but the sanctions were against merchants not farmers because just like modern sanctions

they didn't make magara bended knee it actually helped trigger a little bitty test known as the peloponnesian war the united states sanctioning russia has nothing new either in fact the united states has been imposing economic sanctions against russia almost continually since one thousand nine hundred eighteen and for a century a century it has been next to impossible to see the value in it the later sanctions are again for russia's alleged attack on democracy but as stephen cohen professor and emeritus of russian studies and politics and n.y.u. and princeton said in the nation in reality there was no attack no pearl harbor no nine eleven no russian parachuters descending on washington only the kind of meddling and interference in others' domestic politics that both countries have practiced almost ritualistically for nearly one hundred years and that kind of meddling and interference is just like what was revealed again this week when documents provided by whistleblower edward snowden to the intercepts revealed the documents showing that the n.s.a.

hacked into encrypted network of news organization al-jazeera why well in the words of the n.s.a.'s own documents recently the n.s.a. has decrypted a number of interesting targets deemed a bible. product lines to have high potential as sources of intelligence the u.s. targeting of al jazeera again is nothing new and whether it's with sanctions or bombs it does nothing to protect democracy so what sanction the nonsense and start watching the hawks. the. real the. liars who are part of. what is like you are going to.

love them everybody watching not on top of the wall this is joining me today to talk about sanctions the n.s.a. al-jazeera is former cia analyst philip giraldi thank you for joining me today thank you for having me. so u.s. secretary of the treasury steven munch and stated that the sanctions against china singapore and russia those were related to assistance provided or trades made with north korea and in an official statement he said the tactics that these entities based in china singapore and russia are using to attempt to evade the sanctions are prohibited under u.s. law and all facets of the shipping industry have a responsibility to abide by them or expose themselves to serious risks can you help my myself as well as our viewers at home kind of understand the logic behind the tactic of imposing economic sanctions on foreign sovereign nations for not following us saw and how that makes sense and also what does this work better than

diplomacy. well it depends on how you look at it and which side of the fence you're looking from. i think the united states at this point has basically given up on diplomacy. we've seen this very much over the past year plus in terms of how the state department has essentially been playing a inferior role in terms of u.s. foreign policy which is unprecedented so what the government has decided to do is essentially use the only significant leverage that it retains apart from a military invasion and that that basically is is sanctions which are a financial measure and the the issue then becomes the ability of the united states to make other countries comply with u.s.

financial regulations so pretty much if you sort of tell everyone that they have to follow your rules or they won't let you play in our marketplace once economic that attach that correct. you know that's basically it i mean that the the the the the big one that's coming up of course is november fourth when the united states has decided unilaterally that iran will not be allowed to sell its oil to anyone and anyone who tries to buy iranian oil will be sanctioned by the united states and this is ridiculous i mean this this is unprecedented in terms of of foreign policy and in terms of interaction between sovereign states the united states is creating a mandate which is based on nothing because the iranians are in compliance with the nuclear agreement that they signed which the united states also signed another saying essentially we've decided that they're not in compliance without providing

any evidence and they're essentially going to say to other countries you cannot have business dealings with iran this is ridiculous and yet and what how far does that end up going because you know it's a lot of burden of proof you know united states our judicial system you know i go around the world and people tell me like how important it is that we have this burden of proof and that innocent before proven guilty and how what a bedrock of our democracy that is seen from immigrants around the world and yet in this case you know with either the north korea sanctions or the sanctions to the scruple poisoning which i haven't seen anything it makes me wonder is there a burden of proof that needs to be met when sanctions are put in place and what effect does it have if if eventually we can't prove that any of these things were a problem. you know this is this is the issue isn't there really i mean the united states has basically said we don't need any proof in the case of this cripples

we've had two bouts of sanctions we've also had a whole lot of diplomats declared persona non grata from various countries over the issue and yet the british government hasn't produced on the evidence of anything actually happens and we're seeing the same thing playing out now in turkey where the united states is pressuring the nato ally and saying that you have to release this american pastor who who is in turkey and has been arrested and yet they're not even along the turks to present whatever evidence there is that something may have happened. one of the one of the things that one of the things that came out this week along with all of these these sort of what seem like sort of wild sanctions that just sanction everybody who doesn't agree with us which feel scary does this kind of it feels like temper tantrums and i'm getting a lot of people who are saying it seems like temper tantrums what do these temper

tantrums what kind of blowback could not have economically on the united states on people of the united states because we know that sanctions you know castro never went without a meal because of sanctions you know clinton is not going to be without a meal these aren't things that hit the people at the top they have the people at the bottom so what what hurts us by doing this both to ourselves and to those people around the world. correct to say the theory involved here is that the united states believes that by putting and of financial pressure economic pressure on various countries the people will rise up and get rid of their governments or make their governments change their policies i think that's clearly what we're seeing in the case of iran the threat that the united states is going to put pressure on the iranian people and force them to rise up.
