as won the support of hillary clinton the former presidential candidate tweeted that it takes courage to express disagreement with justice eleven year old marianna taylor hopes more people will join her cool. says that she was inspired by an american football quarterback who knelt during the national anthem before a game in twenty sixteen to protest against racial inequality and police brutality is silent protest soon spread among other athletes and this provoked a fiery political debate reaching all the way to the white house love to see one of these n.f.l. owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say get that son of a the field right now because that was not against our anthem or our flag that was actually kneeling is

a reference position responding to the girls move the american civil rights you know his old maryland schools to guarantee students freedom of speech without punishment meanwhile the girl's school has issued a statement saying it's not aware of any students being disciplined for such behavior but marianna says the teacher shouted at her and she reportedly left the classroom and. discuss the issue with. missouri republican and richard goodstein former advisor to the hillary clinton presidential campaign. football is 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 a body else and i actually find that to make no sense 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 so the fact you're taking to the streets is not merely disruptive you're trying to make a point in less 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 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 why if a politician's getting involved in this one can we just and 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 draw i don't pay your legal bills that's not what her team was thirteen was about bringing people together and she got million had or was that john i'm sorry if the voters actually disagreed with you. a palestinian journalist has been arrested by israeli official forces for filming soldiers and allegedly in inciting violence. lifestream two videos on facebook of his ready soldiers operating in ramallah now filming i.d.f.

round of new and iran sanctions were in acted earlier this month after president trump and alst america's withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal the sanctions prohibit iran from using the u.s. dollar and restricts trading in precious metals it also limits iranian currency flows the u.s. move there was widely opposed by a list of european countries. a former advisor to iran's nuclear negotiating team says tehran to be brought to heel by sanctions the united states unilaterally and we illegally remain poor sanctions that have been lifted by the international community u.n. security council resolution. you know two thousand and fifteen so the question is how can the u.s. justify. paul ryan rationalization would these sanctions that the backing

of the international community if the u.s. proceeds threaten. lives in europe in particular but also in asia and they will distort international trade and they will not gain iran's com pliant. it's been a month since the fifa world cup ended in russia the memories are certainly still fresh over three million fans went to the matches with over half of them being foreigners and now an italian supporter and sports editor has released a video showing how he joined the greatest show on earth for free. you know today. it should be. free. to be deeply and from the time we got to three in the morning text boxes

the couple of needed it was pretty low heard. someone in. the soviet nuclear war. we spoke to the man you just saw in the video he told us that the month he spent in russia was not all about football. it was so much more than just sort of attending the matches it was it was really this experience of a month of making unbelievable amount of friends whether they be russian or foreigners i mean there was the whole project was meant to sort of prove this idea that football is this extremely powerful tool in creating human connections and can

really cut beyond the sort of divisive political narratives that we experience in the media and really through this tool of football we actually have this passport an international tournament to meet people from all over the world and actually just incredible things was most interesting was the fact that russians themselves the average citizen you know the normal football fan was really galvanized by this idea and this sort of negative press that occurred around the hooliganism situation and so it became an instance of people sort of you know stopping me on the street of my shoe who was untied if i was lost somewhere they would give me a ride to the place and wouldn't accept any money for it it was there was there was almost a sort national of. for to actually be as welcoming is humanly possible this tournament will give us access to thirteen of the eleven of the cities and one third of the country you know and i'm still very curious to see a bloody dog going there with the birth or a ton of the regions across the country that sort of still remain a mystery to me it wasn't necessarily the cities like st petersburg and moscow or sochi but that really surprised me it was it was more my experiences and some are

yet to tear on birth city that i would never likely gone to if it wasn't for this tournament but actually i discovered were incredibly interesting and unique in their own ways and wrapping up the program for this hour here on our international right now eleven twenty seven am on friday hope you can join us in half an hour for a new program here on this true.

when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying there's just no way that hadn't been that we were even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way.

hello and welcome to crossfire we're all things are considered i'm peter lavelle a trumpy in kind of view it is an understatement to say donald trump is an unconventional and an orthodox political figure his critics do have a point when they say trumped up. here is to be harsher with allies than with real or imagined enemies then there's the middle east and iran why is trump so obsessed with terrain.

cross talking a trumpy and kind of view i'm joined by my guest peter ford in london he's a former british ambassador to syria and rein in washington we have james jaharis he's a former u.s. diplomat and former advisor to u.s. senate republican leadership and in new york we have richard murphy is a former u.s. career in basad or to syria and currently an adjunct scholar at the middle east institute right gentlemen crossed rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciate james let me go to you first in washington because you've rapidly become the donald trump sure for me you i know you're a supporter of the president and you have a great foreign policy expertise so i want to see if we can kind of. unpack a few things here for example. i give the president with north korea if something could happen there it's very very complicated the parlay is going to be long and hard but i think it took a lot of courage to engage that unlike past administrations. in europe with his

european allies through and nato tough love there i think he's doing absolutely the right things you want to be protected ok if russia is such a terrible threat but want to pay for it ok it's pretty simple but then the wrinkle comes in james i mean the middle east i mean the trump administration isn't braced israel and saudi arabia much more than passage ministrations iran is are again a target with the rhetoric and the planning and all of that i don't see any rhyme or reason to it all can you is there a silver bullet for you to give me the make me understand it go ahead james well let me draw the now. elegy to start with people of notice that trump since the day he took office even before has been under siege from people in the intelligence community i think that's one reason why he and the sun the moon and the stars to the pentagon he had to have somebody who was on his side when we put it to the international context that you just raised look we've got clients and i do call

them clients of not satellites in europe in the far east like south korea and japan i think he can afford to kick them around but we come to the middle east and talk about israel and saudi arabia i don't think there's so much our clients as where their client given the kind of influence the israelis and the saudis have in this town it's not so easy to cross them so i think he is proceeding much more carefully there just as he indulges the pentagon i think he's indulging those countries but we're going to have to see now he can turn the corner especially if he can work out something with mr putin on syria with regard to essentially keeping the israelis and the iranians away from each other near the golan heights we might have the beginning of something constructive in that region but that's going to be a very tough road to hoe i think ok it's interesting peter what weigh in on that too because i guess if you do i restate my first question in a much shorter version is that trump is showing flexibility in some areas here in

other areas these things seem far more rigid how do you see it i mean particularly in the region of the middle east in iran go ahead peter. well i think the key. trump i think humility but i think it does help him in america. meaning. you and i don't much my fellow i thought nation is the opposite vention is. you know the america of. the america committee tried to keep america out of the war world war two. yeah and this thing's the spirit of john quincy adams who advises the gay and the america going abroad in the sleigh this tradition which should trump hark back which appeal thought much i think through middle america and he seems to be

consistent in that and almost all his moves can be interpreted in that spirit whether it's pulling back crumb korea pulling back from nato overreach in europe. the middle east is a little bit different but maybe come back we will come back to that ok richard i mean considering what we just heard from james and peter i think both of them would agree that you know and i like how james put it you know indulging the pentagon i mean the pentagon's got a lot of money right now ok but what does that money for in a lot of people would say it is for possible or continued military interventions which the president ran against during the campaign and now we have massive arms sales to. saudi arabia and israel here and there seems to be a lot of ambiguity about what the u.s. policy is these a v syria how do you one tie all this go ahead richard. i don't

think. serious situation is well understood it has been well understood for the purser for years we made a mistake there's no other word for it back in two thousand and eleven assuming that the regime was very fragile and about to be blown away. it managed to survive and then it was bolstered by russian support to rainy and support in the following years but the color of. washington servitude that. you had heard about during obama's time do not get involved in yet another middle east of the war. richard you're absolutely right and that's exactly where i want to go here james they look at all of all of us are kind of more or less on the same page here but then how do you account for the bellicose attitude towards iran and i think richard's right donald trump knows enough about

history is that that he doesn't want to be a president that's brought down by a foreign war but he really doesn't want to get involved in i mean cheri i mean he's old enough to know what happened to lyndon johnson for example or george bush jr with iraq he doesn't want to have that around his collar but james you know using sanctions to intimidate friends and foes not to import a rainy unoiled i mean i again you know you and you look at the american allies in the region saudi arabia and israel which would love to see some kind of regime change or instability that's probably their first priority i mean this seems to kind of go counter what trump in islam is all about when it comes when it goes to foreign policy james. absolutely clearly and i think peter is right absolutely it's in america first policy i wouldn't call it isolationism i would simply call it a sovereigntists policy however there is one big fat exception and that is the middle east we don't have an america first policy in the middle east we have

a saudi arabia and israel first policy in the middle east i don't know whether that represents where mr trump really wants to go or whether it is like i said an analogy to the pentagon whether he's indulging the realities that exist so he can do something else if he can get us out of syria i don't expect us to admit we made a mistake in syria of course we did a tragic horrible mistake but in politics people don't admit mistakes if he can slip us out of syria somehow the real question is will he take the bait on what has to be the red line that israel and saudi arabia want regime change in iran and if he goes down that road it's the end of his predecessor presidency he needs to understand that he ends up as george w. bush if he goes down that road may be a lot worse i frankly don't think he's going to do that but he's certainly got a lot of people both foreign and domestic pushing him in that direction and right now he's indulging them the question is whether he will follow through with that i

hope he doesn't you know peter one of the things i've noticed that's unique about this presidency a tweeting a sign is that i think serious people and not just pundits that are partisan one way or another i mean i listen to trump speeches particularly when he goes to the base and there's just a heck of a lot of hyperbole and kind of baked in for me ok i'm trying to understand the basis of what he's saying because well most of what he talks about is themself ok that's the trump way but i just have to wonder when you look at his foreign policy views i see that a lot of it is bluster because and i'm kind of agreeing with james here in the bark is really there but there's not always the follow up i mean with syria. we really don't know what's going on there not very saying very much because i think there's going to be a withdrawal but i mean could we look at the bluster towards iran is kind of bluster to keep the saudis and the israelis happy go ahead peter. yes i think it's

primarily keep the israelis and the israeli lobby in the u.s. happy because look at it this way trump has already got a lot of enemies back home that's what you're new theat. he's got the security bait on his back he got everybody on his back he cannot afford all of the israel lobby on his back so this combined with the fact that he has family links with israel push to thim in the direction of being an iran hawk. now this is scary. to be gets dragged down that path we may be in for a very bumpy ride indeed. but i am not sure that his heart is in it. that it opportunistic and dictated by his standing domestically in the us he can't have too many enemies at the same time you know the rich are reflective i

think that's quite fascinating because we're really you know you can have all the bluster you want against iran but it does keep the israelis and the saudis happy and it's one it's one issue he doesn't really want to deal with right now because of the litany of trade issues nato north korea meeting with putin it's on the backburner for him policy wise not rhetorical what do you think richard . because it's not on the backburner puter he's he's got to keep on the situation in the southwest part of syria where the heat is high. raney and have been maneuvering around too near to the golan heights for israeli comfort that could trigger a fight in a broader conflict which none of us needs richard who would be saying which country

would.
