states to take a lawful actions necessary to protect our national security. iran is abusing the i suggest for political and propaganda purposes well that came after the ruling by the i.c.j. the international court of justice which ruled that the usa must lift some of the sanctions that are imposed on iran this year when it announced its withdrawal from the iranian nuclear accord they include allowing items such as medicines and medical aid as well as equipment needed for the safety of the civil aviation authority in iran that judgment also ruled that that treaty and that was formed by the u.s. and iran back in one thousand nine hundred i had been violated something iran had pressed the i.c.j. to rule on now this is not the first time that the usa has dismissed an international court or an international body and not abided by its ruling back in
1:03 pm
june of this year we know that the u.s. withdrew from the human rights council calling it a cesspool of political bias it was also an attack by donald trump in september so last month on the international criminal courts over a possible action that could be taken against americans who are alleged to have committed war crimes in afghanistan as far as america is concerned the i.c.c. has no jurisdiction no legitimacy and no authority. the i.c.c. playing near universal jurisdiction over the citizens of every country. violating all principles of justice fairness and due process whether ron had welcomed that ruling today saying that that ruling showed that the u.s. sanctions were cruel and illegal against the people and the citizens of iran but it doesn't seem like that ruling is going to change the opinion of the united states
1:04 pm
we know that they have been planning to announce new sanctions next my. against iran and it seems like that those new sanctions will go ahead despite that ruling by the i.c.j. the question now many people are asking is who will keep the u.s. in check it seems that the i.c.j. simply cannot. political analysts say it must africa's chesham believes that washington's too focused on itself and that affects its attitude to international entreaties the u.s. believes that it's an exceptional state as president obama stated and he believed in that president trump is a real manifestation of this the wrong idea that the u.s. is exceptional all other nations should abide by the rules and regulations except for the united states so therefore the u.s. is adamant to the rule of the law it has proved to be an irresponsible actor and it's been you know this respecting international treaties rules as well as the

remans under president donald trump the situation has been even worse in the mean time sanctions play a pivotal role of the united states current policy against iran to intimidate and pressure iran into negotiations therefore i believe donald trump and his administration with abide by the law. britain's ruling conservative party has wrapped up its annual conference and despite speeches of unity the prime minister's position is under further scrutiny from party members just moments before to resume a was due to give her keynote speech she was dealt yet another blow with a letter of no confidence now that it seems to have dampened her spirit.
1:06 pm
all tories amaze quick as she approached the podium seem to be the prime minister responding to those who mocked her dance moves while on a tour of africa in august and going to reports on the conservative party conference certainly a curious political times here in the u.k. as we speak and this annual conservative party conference has wrapped up to quite a. bit of drama despite british prime minister theresa may putting up a show of keeping up appearances including with that quirky dance to dancing queen despite a speech that was really seen as make or break for her because of course much of the speech was dedicated to theresa may trying to show that she has things under control especially when it comes to bracks it having essentially now standing at a point of a potential no deal cracks it having so know lots of division inside the u.k. and of course essentially having created basically a civil war inside her own country may was trying to show that she can still fix
1:07 pm
things however before her speech she was dealt quite a shock blow when a letter of no confidence has been sent by a tory m.p. going public with him essentially calling for her to go let's see what that letter said. the comes a point the loyalty is not the right way forward we need a strong leader someone who believes and brags that and some want to do with the electorate voted for the brown minister seems incapable of doing this well fifteen percent of tory m.p.'s or forty people would have to send in similar letters for any such thing to be considered however this still of course added fuel to the fire especially given that earlier we saw to reserve maize a former defiant foreign secretary boris johnson take to the stage as well and essentially trashing her approach to brecht's it's amidst standing ovations and earlier in september a leaked tory party memo had suggested that theresa may would be forced to step
1:08 pm
down as soon as made twenty one thousand and even provided a list of possible contenders so what with all of this discontent going on inside her own party at these quite uncertain times about how things will move forward there's a big question of whether or not it's really the time for humorous down says. well in her speech to conference prime minister may insisted that she will see out her so-called checkers plan on breakfast and rebuffed the idea of a second referendum joe so outlined a new strategy for battling cancer and said fuel duty freeze will be part of the government's next budget euro m.p. gerard batten from the u.k. independence party thinks to reason these words won't mean action. or listen to the streets to die and it's what she does best really which is a lot of rhetoric find words which don't really amount to anything certainly don't translate into actions i think she's going to carry on on the same course which is to in effect completely ineffectually negotiate with the she was
1:09 pm
a remainer up until the day of the referendum and then after the referendum she gets intrusted with the most important job in british politics you know for the last two generations which is to get us out of the years why would you believe anything she says you can only judge your own results and so far they haven't been any result she talks about seeking respect from the e.u. that's the other thing well why would they respect you if you're not actually telling them what it is that you intend to do and you keep on asking how do we leave can we have this come have a little bit respect somebody like that. donald trump has claimed that the saudi monarch wouldn't last two weeks if it wasn't for the u.s. military the u.s. president's fiery assessment came at a campaign rally in the u.s. state of mississippi but he didn't give any specifics about a conversation that he'd have with the saudi king in which he was referencing. we project saudi arabia would you say the rich. and i love the king solomon but i said . we're protecting you you might not be there for two weeks without us you have to
1:10 pm
pay for your village well it seems like he's implicitly calling on saudi arabia to pay its own defense expenses and this isn't even the first time he's done this he's asked the same of japan and south korea both of which are nato allies but between the arms deals and pulling out of the iran deal it's clear that the u.s. considers saudi arabia a major ally and if you remember trying to first foreign trip was to saudi arabia about a year ago but now trumps latest comments show that there could be some growing contention between the two on top of that trump's been trying to get saudi arabia one of the leading opec countries and the rest of opec to lower gas prices and trump's no fan of opec and he made that pretty clear at the u.n. let's quickly check out what he had to say opec. and opec nations are as usual ripping off the rest of the world we defended many of these nations for nothing. and then they take advantage of us by giving us high oil prices
1:11 pm
not good. but some have said that this is trump's way of securing his party's control in congress rather than out of genuine concern over gas prices now his intentions have not been yet made clear but i wouldn't hold my breath. sometimes arm twisting and it's possible influence on oil prices it's a topic for president but they may have putin's been addressing this wednesday speaking at a major energy forum in moscow he suggested in no uncertain terms that the american president's got no one but himself to blame for the recent spike in oil prices but it was a good we had a very nice meeting with the american president in helsinki if we had touched on the subject of oil price and influence that i would have told him if you want to find the main culprit for the oil price hike don't you just have to take a look in the mirror it's true geopolitics do play a role in oil price hikes that's a fact well you just heard some direct comments that the president made earlier
1:12 pm
today but the global energy market or who is to blame for the current high oil prices or not the only issue is the president was asked to comment on he also gave quite a strong a remark on the script all case the president lambasted the former double agent as trader and also added that the whole case has been blown out of proportion i was saying that the sooner the media noise around the screwball case and the better of the systems regarding the script our case this spy scandal is being artificially kindled have seen some media outlets go as far as calling mr script probably human rights activist in france he's just a spy a traitor. he's scum that's all he is and the whole information campaign has been launched surrounding this case i think it will come to an end one day and i hope so and the sooner the better so while the russian president has been on the move this wednesday after attending an international forum in moscow he is expected here in
