3:02 pm
president so what will happen on monday everything that was achieved under the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal will be no more piling on top of penalties imposed additionally by the trumpet ministration there were nineteen rounds of those these new sanctions will accelerate the highly successful effects of our sanctions that have already occurred the maximum pressure we impose is cause the reality to drop dramatically ronnie's cabin is in disarray and the iranian people are raising their voices even louder against a corrupt and hypocritical regime a lot of diplomatic achievement has been torn down by this back in two thousand and fifteen the so-called p. five plus one bloc of countries agreed to open global oil markets for iran's crude in exchange for to iran scrapping its nuclear program even though we run complied with all terms of the deal trump called a disastrous and pulled out unilaterally now with the final push the american leader has delivered while iran keeps abiding by all the demands of the twenty

fifteen deal makes while still an edgy shipping finance banking you name it really the u.s. hopes to put a damper on all keys sectors of iran's economy in total more than seven hundred entities including both individuals companies and even ships and their craft will be banned from doing any business with iran bro if you exemptions here and there like food or from a suitable industries but the list is not very long to be frank speaking of exemptions by the way the u.s. also seemed very concerned with the economic well being of its allies we want to achieve maximum pressure but we don't want to harm friends and allies from this you might assume bolton is talking about europe after all it likes to think of itself as america's biggest ally but apparently that's just not the case and trump's advisor there was referring to asian and middle eastern countries we do know that the total of eight. states will be exempt from having to cut their businesses their
3:04 pm
business ties with iran and reportedly there's not a single european country on that list instead it's allegedly india iraq and other nations from those parts of the world another concern washington wants to allay a collapse of oil markets amid fears that prices will just skyrocket if iran's oil pipe runs dry iran's oil exports have already fallen by some eight hundred thousand barrels per day while america has enjoyed a comparable increase in its crude exports so according to the us not to worry they're happy to fill in the gap putting out additional oil there in exchange for an extra buck. and i think us the opinion has found to remain committed to the twenty fifteen iran deal adding that brussels is working on mechanisms to support businesses and to preserve the financial channels between the block and tehran. we remain committed to implementing the g c p o a as
3:05 pm
a matter of respecting international agreements and of our shared international security and expect iran to play a constructive role in this regard. life. senior lecturer in middle east politics welcome to the program now europe seems to be standing firm over the iran deal how feasible feasible is it for the to continue to do business with iran. we have to distinguish between the european states and the european company and we have to remember the fact he sees commerce do you b.n. completely by a lot of oil from. the islamic group of do good for iran and when it comes to kind of these new financial macan isn't that you in countries are talking about in alder to help it you know here is to minimize the impact of these sanctions
3:06 pm
probably the european politicians on honest about the fact that a lot of the smaller a part of european companies companies on roger lee trying to push themselves out of the iranian market simply because they can't afford deliver cautions from from from the us i have no doubt that the european states are serious in order to create that kind of financial macan isn't to help iran but there is a limit to how far they can go and had the same time over the despite the fact that you know or the last three or four months you have been talking about one of the stop pushing a very specific image can isn't in order to reach those goals and objectives but so far there hasn't been a single european country one tearing to kind of create a base for that office to create the peace for for that mcmanus it seems that the
3:07 pm
every single european country which has been part of this negotiation and part of this debate is very reluctant to propose that organization despite the fact that at least the e.u. collectively says they are committed to the deal but when it comes to the actual. action it seems that you know what the offer is not proboscis enough is not ethically if enough to provide some remedy for for the iranian capital yeah i mean if they have talked about the repercussions how long will those your pain countries be able to stand firm i know they're determined at the moment but will the pressure from washington be too much eventually. the thing is i mean this is also about face saving for to europeans as i mean at least since the second world war we haven't seen any drift like peace over the last fifty or sixty years there hasn't been any issue like this issue to divide part of the
3:08 pm
american and the european position this much i mean the big gap is getting more and more profound they often date it week after week and they often a lot of european politicians say that they don't desist an opportunity for us to kind of improve our position and boost our position on in on the international stage and to kind of make those slightly more independent from from the united states made it comes to implementing that kind of policies but this is not only about the europeans iran is this is this is a specific deal because the want to get some advantages out of out of the other part and it seems the u.s. decided to unilaterally get out of the iran had to primarily rely on the european the chinese and the russian town of counterparts in order to
3:09 pm
maintain whatever is left of that the and sought for our. government that have been kind of trying to persuade the hardline is inside iran that actually this is the best possible deal that we can we can have in this situation to go on of the stick to the europeans to see what they can offer us and they often need it becomes increasingly more evident that unfortunately as i mentioned in yawn there is a limit to how far the europeans go so actually the iranian government the government of mr all whiny is not only under mounting pressures from the american sanctions but he's also on that a lot of. prussia intent from the hard line is b.c. he cheap bleeding him we told you you should not trust the europeans we told you you should not trust the americans and now they are increasingly that pushing in to kind of get out of the us for as con of the europeans are concerned do try to plan
3:10 pm
and drive these as long as they chant that for one of the these twenty years only with the hope maybe these are slightly optimistic when the whole being into a half years there will be a new government in washington which will be a slightly more sympathetic to the to the story well in the meantime i've been washed out it that if the europeans can't offer some meaningful instruments we should meaningfully reduce the pressure is mounting when iran day off today we can't debate at the moment ok. and middle east politics thanks very much for your opinions and expertise on this issue thanks. closer to home but also being targeted with the firepower of american sanctions new measures have been three latin american countries here's how the us national security
3:11 pm
advisor described the left wing governments in cuba nicaragua and venezuela. the troika of tyranny in this hemisphere cuba venezuela and nicaragua has finally met its match oppressive regimes and ideologies forces of oppression to tallaght tarion ism and domination it worship a false. we know their day of reckoning awaits a nicaraguan regime like venezuela and cuba will feel the full weight of america's robust sanctions regime we will no longer appease dictators and despots near our sure. john bolton also went on to accuse the three nations of violating human rights describing them as a cradle of communism sanctions have become a key foreign policy tool of the trumpet ministration with recent threats against several other world powers. brawn for many decades has been the world's central banker of international terrorism russia has been aggressive. to driving
3:12 pm
us to take you know money they're rebuilding europe union of course was set up to take it very much of the united states to attack our people. and you know we can't let that happen canada what they've done to our very far more is a disgrace. us diplomat told us he believes the sanctions policy could backfire. i think sometimes people in washington especially in congress think of sanctions as something we can do that short of an act of war and i favor the position of former congressman ron paul who believes that sanctions are an act of war and they're a hostile action the damage another country hurt their people sometimes result in the deaths of their people and it's morally legally politically wrong we're in the process of sanctioning almost everybody in the world that we don't like include the russians and the chinese and the venezuelans of the iranians and the syrians and so forth this is the way we deal with other countries and we're even threatening to
3:13 pm
sanction our own allies if they do business with russia for example cooperated with the building of nord stream too or if they buy energy from iran this is not a way to increase americans america's standing in the world and i think it will come it will come back to bite us i think this will end up burning a lot of bridges not only with countries that we have problems with but even with our closest friends. people opposing us political candidates russian charles and even i still face but struggling to live up to its transparency pledge by continuing to print fake and thirty's minutes from fakes phyllis's the tech giant is to need to last months to come up with misinformation on the platform that holkins takes a closer look at whether it's working on bond. remember how the zucker valid to protect your news feed from fakes arguably the biggest problem of modern times we're going to take a number of measures from building in deploying new ai tools that take down fake
3:14 pm
news to growing our security team to more than twenty thousand people to making it so that we verify every advertiser who's doing political an issue well the issues but again we can't prevent all governments from all interference but we can make it harder we can make it much harder and again baseball is unveiling a new so-called war room facebook has created what it's calling the war room where teams of patrolling for fake news misinformation and meddling to multiple scandals in a big brainstorm but also it was finally found and i'll know shady sponsor can post political ads without proper vetting verification the social media the judge even made this sleek video to make sure you appreciate their efforts there was never anything that delivered the same kind of visibility into who paid for paid political content on facebook until today ads related to politics have information about who paid for them with crucial u.s. midterm elections just around the corner surely no one would be allowed to get the
3:15 pm
up behind the new controls except they did. big time facebook's not meeting that higher standard of transparency we received approval to buy political ads on facebook and claim they were paid for by major political figures in just about an hour they passed facebook's approval process that's a little awkward but while the few posts slipping through the net could be understandable some of the ads were just obvious the journalist took me was allegedly shared by russian trolls back in twenty sixteen like this one jesus arm wrestling satan published it on a page called ratatouille for senate and disclose the funding as paid by islamic state you couldn't make it up this mean was published in mike pence his name the page ninja turtles p a c in fact the only time advertising was denied was when they posed this hillary clinton or mark zuckerberg himself when asked how this could have happened facebook said well it isn't perfect but we'll try harder in forstmann
3:16 pm
to isn't perfect and we weren't so poor people trying to game the system but we have made it much harder and we will continue to improve since then a near identical experiment took place with a similar result journalists managed to get approval for ads paid for by cambridge analytic a notorious political consultancy banned from the site after dragging the company into a huge scandal earlier this year so there you have it two years of investigations congress hearings and political battles against all blind trolls and smart well funded adverse stories the result even more possibilities for ridiculous trolling what can't help but ask what is the problem with the state of american politics was that really in the dodgy ads this idea that it is now their responsibility and they're qualified to take on this responsibility to determine what is in isn't real news to determine what is in is invalid political information to determine what is
3:17 pm
in is in free speach. each that's just ridiculous i mean it's absolutely ridiculous to to assume that this company should be in charge of that this idea that facebook is going to tell us what our real political ads quote unquote and what aren't and what is real news and what is in and what should be free speech and what shouldn't be giving them this overreaching censorship power is absolutely ridiculous. and easy relations between south korea and japan have suffered another blow tokyo is outraged at a court ruling that awarded south koreans to work as of that eight hundred thousand dollars compensation for forced labor in the second world war only one of the men is still alive. i'm very sad and i'm crying a lot because i am the only woman left it could be pennies for a big company or a whole country's budget but see tokyo is really going to happen at the trial went
3:18 pm
in favor of the only plane of who was still alive all the other south koreans eligible for compensation for being pretty much sent as slaves to japan during world war two have passed away and i wish the verdict had come earlier if you'd had my husband would have seen that it was a lifelong burden of his and it's really sad things to this way. but the knighting sixty five agreement on wartime claims between the two countries and that meaning all disputes are in the past boom it took the storm fifty three years to break out with the precedent the anti japan sentiment in korea has been brewing for a while to you know japan's even lost to communist china in a favor ability poll taken by south koreans last month tokyo was meant to take part in a naval event put on by seoul but the host said there was no way japanese ships would
3:19 pm
fly this this flag. so seeded with japan's military past so the savvy rise navy cut loose and pulled out ever heard of k. pop now that's the kind of territory where you don't really expect to run into that kind of conflict. well after one of these girls sang the japanese anthem in front of the japanese military koreans want to shut her down on t.v. there's even a petition for that on the president's website back to the nine hundred sixty five treaty ironically just three years ago the two country's leaders celebrated its fiftieth anniversary just so you know this woman then president park in here as the daughter of someone who signed the agreement she's now in jail. clearly changed
3:20 pm
mistrust that exists between the countries and these still. exists throughout korea both north and for years the brutal occupation by japan which was from one thousand nine hundred forty five still linger and. there is not trust there is concern about a lot of past grievances and issues. teenagers who were at a u.s. juvenile detention center have one hundred ninety thousand dollars settlement after it was revealed gods forced them to take part in so-called fight nights the lawsuit says to youngsters out of the cells and into a lunch of them to find each other and a moment boys who didn't want to do battle forced into this with tougher inmates while the guards watched as claimed the clashes took place weekly during a three month period and twenty sixteen had moved from the police attorney. there
3:21 pm
was a tradition that went back several years we were told and it was called fight night and on friday nights in particular two guards would let various young men out of their cells and pit them against one another in a particular room and let them take their shirts off and box and one would emerge from the room victorious and one would not and then there were several rounds on any given friday night the videos that we saw would show the the guards would be laughing and keeping watch so predominantly it was for entertainment of the guards ages of our clients were approximately sixteen and seventeen they were in the cairo county juvenile justice center for various crimes nothing to outrageous or horrific cuyahoga county authorities apologized. to each and every client except for one who didn't want to partake in this and we hope that there will be
3:22 pm
a policy change in this particular jail and hopefully jails across the united states. but just months to go before the european union's parliamentary elections polls are meeting for the blocs willing parties but a preference seems to be varying towards more radical courtis in what could lead to an unprecedented shakeup and even playing politics europe's political establishment is set up for a meeting in may during the e.u. parliamentary elections and with support dwindling for both the center right and the center left the big winners euro skeptic an anti migrant parties this feeding is that there's a kind of that still shouldn't among voters because they feel that the traditional have nothing you say they feel contempt for those bulges that it's not exactly you always making them by. making making just anybody who looks you french president emanuel macron took it upon himself to warn europe of a nationalistic menace comparing it to leprosy. europe faces
3:23 pm
a risk that of being broken up by nationalist leprosy and of being pushed around by foreign powers and thereby losing its sovereignty but it seems like the french don't see eye to eye with mark ron right now a majority of people in france apparently would prefer an unelected technocratic government while over forty percent even say they would rather support an off or a tarion political power so this could be a wake up call for micron as his approval ratings hit record lows to move away from traditions and embrace public opinion so just a minute in the cold he did come from those filters but he had created his own he was a change of face in the shape of generation. now that he's become president he's got a slightly different style but in terms of what policies you in it sounds more and more like the policies that everyone is as you age and they do not know how to
3:24 pm
express their discontent except have against those sponsors again with mainstream parties and leaders who champion modern liberal values losing popularity we could have an electoral power vacuum but that won't stay empty for long. in the u.s. midterm elections just around the corner a new poll shows people believe both the national media and the president donald trump i responsible for dividing the country the numbers show sixty four percent think the media is to blame while fifty six percent say it's the man in the white house the poll was conducted in the wake of a spate of attempted bombings and a shooting at a pennsylvania synagogue the results came out just after the latest tweet condemning what he called the true and the right of the people. there is great anger in our country caused in part by inaccurate and even fraudulent reporting of the news the fake news media the true enemy of the people must stop the open and
3:25 pm
obvious hoss. filippi and report the news accurately and fairly that will do much to put out the flame the response from america's mainstream outlets with a long county santa analyst john avlon a compactness rattray to attendees touring the reign of terror or of an issue from the enemy of the people is a phrase you generally hear from u.s. presidents but it was used during the french revolution by radicals to describe their enemies who they often accused of get this spreading false news to divide or trouble the people now the average american you know they don't read a lot of news we know that the it's connected to the trust and i think that this distrust. runs deep in lots of different ways and i think at the local level especially because some people see their neighborhoods or their issues or their concerns not either covered in the press and local news is really suffering because they don't have the resources that they once did but also at the national level down there and i think they're seeing that if they have
3:26 pm
a conservative perspective or if they're coming from a marginalized population that they're either ignored or sometimes just turned turned away i don't remember the last time i've seen cable news network really send anybody out into middle america to report on the issues they're out there now for the midterms and talking about how people may or may not vote and what the issues are that may be driving those votes but i don't i don't remember the last time i've seen an actual national correspondent going out the press get a lot of hits for her running sometimes has a rageous tucker it has a regis speech but also they get cable news has seen you know increase in viewership because it's become a lot of talking heads that is just now political commentary in trying to take hits at the president and trying to you know surface above some of those hints that there is that he's sending their way but that becomes fodder for the trumpet ministration of her time supporters to say look at this liberal press they don't
3:27 pm
care about us. but it really does send some confusing messages especially at a time when the press is trying to gain back trust that it might might have lost over the last couple decades. a snapshot of history a camera dating back to the second multiple has been recovered from a trench in southern russia and against all odds one frame from the role of fell has survived. but that's a troops couldn't approach the strange they killed him with when it's the ground cover.
3:28 pm
your lucky that this is a good camera and expensive film also the fighter covered camera with something like a notebook. that's all for now i'll be back on the top of the hour with more but in the meantime why don't you check out our website that salty dog called next up here a lot international it's watching the whole.

. greetings and salutations. tell me if this sounds familiar my hawk watchers you get home from a long day's work you flip on your favorite network reality show and then as the show goes to break it comes off crawling out of your television from a dark place located somewhere in the sliver of madness between k. street and could do i'm speaking of course of the ubiquitous election season political lab you know the ones with the overly dramatic music and two dollar graphics package at the dramatic narration telling you how.
