9:04 pm
clear that he doesn't really get bothered by that this week you put out a call to action to other countries to rally with america to put pressure on iran rouhani still calling for the u.s. to come back into the old deal but after meeting with world leaders this week did you make any progress towards a potential new deal does it matter what world leaders think going to run iran's going to come back to me are they going to make good do you and that's even after president trump's first ever chairmanship of the u.n. security council where he can't have misheard an entire round table of of their world leaders and government ministers. the disputes between the e.u. and the usa about how to deal with terran has escalated dramatically in recent days on meant a the blocks foreign policy chief announced that europe will be a way to create special payment channels to allow trade with iran to continue and

9:06 pm
a. reason and she's attacking him based on ego and it is because it is deflecting the fact that the united states has had nothing but ego and pride when it comes to the way in which we're mishandling trade deals mishandling the way we treat other countries what the u.s. should be doing right now is actually trying to go in that direction which is to open up trade with other countries let american culture spread when businesses and consumers in other countries learn more about the way we think and the way we are the ideas of america the ideas of freedom freedom of the present liberalism these are great ideas but we're not going to spread them by cutting ourselves off and there is nothing more arrogant nothing more foolish nothing more counterproductive to cutting ourselves off cutting our ideas off from the rest of the world. as part of america's crackdown on iran and its national security advisor demanded the independence with payment system on which banks around the world hold business with iran. banks and financial messaging services such as swift must take
9:07 pm
a good hard look at their business with iran and ask themselves whether it is worth the risk you know the european union is strong on rhetoric and weak on follow through so we will be watching the development of this structure that doesn't exist yet and has no target date to be created we do not intend to allow our sanctions to be evaded by europe or anybody else. here pain natives have hit back morning america against attempting to make decisions. it cannot be accepted that the united states would decide with which world regions european companies can trade where they can develop economic activity i'm sensitive to president comments on the rise of oil prices but i think if you follow that thought to its conclusion you realize that it would be good for oil prices that the run be

able to sell to. an economist an investment fund manager we spec'd believes it's possible swift will bow down to us demand and cut ties with iran us does put a lot of pressure on many actors so swift might do that we don't know but of course the us has had a very you know that's really a very aggressive policy of sanctions so so it will certainly listen to those words the u.s. has put a lot of pressure on various issues and it has used the sanctions weapon and economic script and a more aggressively even against the european companies against swiss companies and this is as really. put a lot of tensions on european companies and especially since the financial crisis so at some point europe my to a cup and say this is too much i mean we have to go or own way and we have to fight strike into balance. the independent investigative career
9:09 pm
belling cat has issued a new reports claiming it's been able to identify one of the suspects in the cells we poison in case it gives. us an alleged real name but also some of us pricing details it's early reports. the online blog belling cat run by elliot higgins is alleging that they've found out one of the real names of the two men held responsible by the british government for the novacek attack in sol's ri earlier this year now of course the british government named those two men as alexander petrova and ruslan bashir of and it's the latter of these two men which by the claims to have uncovered they say that his name is and that's an easy chair pick up and that he is a colonel in the g.r.u. which is russia's military intelligence agency now bella katz says that according to sources in russia mr chepe guy is a high ranking colonel within the g.r.u.
9:10 pm
but the same source within their article says that this type of operation would have been usually carried out by a low ranking field officer no higher ranking than captain now in the past there have been those who have called into question pending kat's billets he to carry out these types of investigations independently and without any bias what he's doing is nothing more than reading tea leaves every level analysis is a method used by hobbyists never been to syria. doesn't speak arabic and he conducts his press and reset from the content of his armchair now ever since that incident in seoul's ri earlier this year the u.k. governments have held the russian government responsible for what took place and that's a theme which repeated itself today in the u.n. general assembly. the u.k. saw the consequences of these norms being the wrote it in salt spray this year when
9:11 pm
russia recklessly deployed a nerve agent on our streets the united kingdom's present its detailed evidence clearly laid out in charges of attempted murder and the use of possession of a chemical weapon against agents of the russian state. uncorroborated rhetoric on the incident is on the rise the u.k. is stubbornly rejecting the idea of a joint investigation with russia which we have proposed on numerous occasions that's disappoint the folks that such a joint investigation is exactly what's called for in the chemical weapons convention if they don't want to cooperate it begs the question then of whether the u.k. has something to hide now there's been no reaction to those allegations in the belling blog here in the u.k. the metropolitan police and the home office calling to make any comment whatsoever but since this whole incident took place the russian government they've denied any involvement as well and saying consistently that they want the british government
9:12 pm
to share whatever intelligence or evidence of a have so that they can help with the investigation. after the investigation was released the u.k.'s defense secretary took to twitter to thank those who had revealed true identity of the salisbury suspects but twenty minutes later gavin williamson didn't lead to the tweet without any explanation. the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman maria's house responded to the developments by claiming that palin catus peddling false information about the attack and solsbury. dirty rats and nor is just a taste of the anti brussels insults printed in the british tabloids ever breaks in negotiations and the e.u. is now fuming that the press have gone too far. explains. it seems there is a feeling a little vulnerable in the wake of some media headlines in the u.k.
9:13 pm
hold the front page the sun the u.k. is right leaning tabloid used a clever play on words to get its feelings across of the recent salzburg summit you know the one where the leaders of the e.u. outright rejected the case breaks it proposals well that headline has caused rather a tailspin in the e.u. and the commission is now calling for a more responsible approach by the media in the way that it forms the public about issues like briggs it and there i was thinking that freedom of press was a cornerstone of the new media build. you should build that culture of dialogue on the contrary we see divisions but this information and. exclusion the bricks to debate is the best example of that. i remember the front page of a popular british daily calling the judges the enemy of the. just last week
9:14 pm
the e.u. leaders called dead rats on another front page and i voted for a european approach to lead based on quality and smart regulation if needed this song on the front page which set the justice commission is not the only hard hitting act on the part of the british tabloids known for pulling no punches and surely the breaks of debate coverage is no exception. but oh yeah headlines like this really that offensive earn sewing deficient to the
9:15 pm
extent that some sort of regulation is needed to rein them in i think a newspaper can write whatever they want to but if it's aggressive towards a community in terms of law regulation. it should be forbidden to media needs to to remain free whatever it is written in those media and that's it i think that freedom of speech is important so we should be able to write anything if it's necessary to respect why they have expressed by the public should also be respected . it seems the e.u. justice commissioner is proposals all prissy. at least hey in paris from what i gathered the view on the street is mostly don't touch the press we asked the same questions in london and it seems opinion across the english channel is divided and also influenced by reader's preferences i think they've got the discovery
9:16 pm
regulations in place to keep everyone. by playing fairly i don't encourage strong language here that kind of headline could be fatal to people but that isn't going to compromise the action of a free press in this country press can in the car for themselves they won't print that i think it's dropped readers let's face it i think the paper should people who seem to be. appealing to the lowest common denominator of a god would be afraid to say. if they was hyping its complaints what prompts the british press to change tack it seems the sun didn't get the message on wednesday the red top ridiculed commissioner very skillful nobody's ever heard of the outspoken newspaper added the would be better off disclosing any piece expenses then trying to muzzle the press. to afghanistan now where hundreds of locals have blocked an entrance to
9:17 pm
a german military base the protesters have worked in the country for the german government and now to mount help from berlin they say that work has put their lives in danger seems a request for asylum a falling on deaf is. just . just. on the you know. just the. i was working at the front line with them i will work in all of gunderson i was always. together german senior mentors with the german generals when i was taught that my duty there told me that we will help you if you for some problems.
9:18 pm
of. knowledge we have this german war in afghanistan in our war here. we are from german officers brooklyn this is the look at the safe place. we received direct and direct threats. was killed fifty days ago by the militants tortured and. his face is smashed our cats are. our family we should show them that we are really in danger we are not here for picnic we are not. york or boston go or so we are here to show them that you are really in danger we have really a big problem. for
9:19 pm

9:20 pm
raging with the ministry and interior minister but this is informational blockade for bad media and sweets for the good ones our democracy does not have to be in darkness just because a minister feels too weak to withstand criticism and appears unfit for the sensitive ministry the austrian interior ministry of justified the email saying it had nothing to do directly with mystical saying that this was an attempt to try and establish a united front between the interior ministry and the police against a media that they say is biased against them this is their rights and the best way to communicate both from a legal perspective and for the journalists themselves considering this is bishan of my against certain media does not come out of thin air but austria's top officials have been unequivocal in expressing their anger at the news that this e-mail existed governments and public institutions have
9:21 pm
a grave responsibility to protect free and independent journalism and any restriction of freedom of the pris is only acceptable freedom of expression media and press freedom of the cornerstones of our liberal democracy and of our constitutional state in austria any restriction of press freedom is unacceptable that can't be discrimination against individual media the austrian chancellor deemed this leak important enough to take time out from the un general assembly to comment on it it doesn't look like it's going away from the austrian press any time soon we'll have to wait to see if mr kurtz follows up on his words with actions when he returns from new york peter all of the berlin. on friday the fate of brett's cavanagh's nomination as u.s. supreme court justice is expected to be decided following a string of sexual misconduct allegations so far three claims have been made
9:22 pm
against the nominee says the fair side his ations came to prominence last week cavanagh has been the top target for trance opponents and some even questioning whether presumption of innocence should apply this was attempted rape i believe professor ford judge kavanaugh has lied multiple times she doesn't count on or have the same presumption of innocence as anyone else in america his credibility is already very questionable in my mind and in the minds of a lot of my fellow judiciary committee members the democrats i would advise lying that well i believe her let's put it that way there is credibility to her story the allegations the leading democrats to call for cavanagh's nomination to the country's highest courts to be blocked this isn't the first recent case of unproven sex accusations damaging u.s. politicians career is republican more and more lost last year as alabama senate actions following sexual misconduct his ations from nine women he sued three of the
9:23 pm
accused is also in twenty seventeen eighty eight year old civil rights legend john corners resigned from congress following sexual misconduct claims from several women both politicians deny any wrongdoing on thursday brett kavanaugh will give testimony on the claims against him he the nies all allegations throughout the process have a minimum the army the. waters from both sides for rushing to charge. when vide gas to debates where the political motives may have been behind the timing of the story and if the presumption of innocence no longer of innocence no longer applies. we're convincing people who probably had no idea anything about this case or even that there was a supreme court nominee to suddenly think that brett kavanaugh is a monster based on these these these allegations these paintings of how he's been
9:24 pm
meanwhile all we have are the words of two people that's not to say that they are lying but we have absolutely no evidence for that and that is simply the complete opposite of what the united states constitution and our judicial system was set up to create. so i don't think anybody is assuming that anybody's guilty but that doesn't mean that we don't have a responsibility to take victims of sexual assault and sexual harassment very seriously and i think that's what we're doing right now particularly as it applies to the misuse of power by people and in particular men in power in our institutions in this country so i think right now it's perfectly plausible and important to hear out these women a lot of people believe some very important things in danger of being overturned and i think there's a some very serious implications there is not and i understand the road again general but i hear your. disagreements in the fear that roe v wade is going to be overturned but again these are more media allegations these are more allegations
9:25 pm
from from liberal stating that if trump has his people and if conservatives come in that then roe v wade will be overturned in all of this that's simply not due process of the american legal system or the supreme court they can't just come in and overturn laws there have to be cases there have to be precedent that this is politically motivated against cavanagh it has nothing to do with any evidence it's actually been brought forth the sides of besides allegations from two women all processes that bring about the interpretation the production of law in any society is inherently political trumps appointment of cabinet is political there is an agenda at play here this is a field of deceit are you mentioned that the legal system in america in america is actually contingent on political ideologies but in fact actually the code of judicial conduct itself which all judges and all legal process people are supposed to adhere to is why do you think our founders actually passed these things presumption of innocence there is no presumption of innocence right now in the media there's no presumption of minute in a sense right now in the u.s.
9:26 pm
media what i'm suggesting and what many people are suggesting is that we take this seriously and put forward a real process that hears out these voices and puts forward the converse a. do we want to put this person into this position is that who we want to represent us is that we want to have to have assumed that. among so the point that you're making was that we need to listen to these voices the question is now going to is this going to be is this the person that we want in the in the highest office of our judicial system of the supreme court of the united states and so now we're already talking that he's he's guilty i think the fault is more on the media it's more on some of the loudest voices against this by automatically assuming that it was i don't think anybody is not a course those aren't your voices of it those are voices from u.s. media for more details on any of our stories had to have its. own way back with the latest world news in thirty minutes.
9:27 pm
i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars . china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business show you can afford to miss the one and only boom but. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or
9:28 pm
rejected. so when you want to be president. more somehow want to be. the too bright to be precipices like them before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. nice it all. kind of cuts. well less than twenty four hours from new york u.n. meetings between officials from russia britain china france germany the usa and e.u. i.m.f.
