i know. it's really not. a new rift between washington interact and this donald trump announces he will reimpose all u.s. sanctions against iran which were lifted under the twenty fifteen made clear deal also to come the u.s. national security adviser brands cuba nicaragua and venezuela a troika of tyranny and slapped sanctions on two of them plus a t.v.

executive in the u.k. sparked outrage with his halloween costume he dresses up as the killer. we debate whether he crossed the line. screaming yelling be offended about everything what's being called complaining is actually is actually political discourse you should i don't know what what the fill in the brain the way he put in jail i just call him for calling for sleeping. but i welcome you watching artie international this saturday afternoon works just going for him or scott now us around relations have suffered another dime to that after trump announced the renewal of all sanctions against iran that were lifted as part of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal to iran has responded with claims that washington's past peanut. measures made the islamic republic more self-sufficient

well as we as we heard after making the announcement trump styled his twitter message to resemble the tagline from game of thrones however this apparently didn't sit well with the network behind the hit series h.b.o. says it would rather its trademark wasn't quote misappropriated for political purposes the sanctions will come back into force in just two days as you can see down off reports. 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 iran 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 aircraft will be banned from doing any business with iran row 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 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 trumps advisor there was referring to asian and middle eastern countries we do know that the total of eight states will be exempt from having. their business is their 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 and exchange for an extra buck they harm the u.a.e. in the nation they have always been there for the past four decades and they've been harming the e.u. reigning in the nation all along their inquisition that's why many other. states that are under sanctions like russia like any of theirs they are all against this move especially because this new round of sanctions by washington it doesn't have the u.n. support it doesn't have the support of even the united states close allies like the europeans that have stated their opposition to defiance china turkey or russia and many others have defied the u.s. sanctions against iran and many are worried in washington that this could make these sharp tool or weapon blunt and make you know take it off the menu even for

future u.s. administrations if it goes ineffective but it does seem that washington's european allies haven't fully supported the latest naive is the described as regrettable brussels is vowing to support companies doing business with iran. we remain committed to implementing the joint comprehensive plan of action as a matter of respecting international agreements and of our shared international security and expect iran to play a constructive role in this regard i don't agree with those who say that the americans are have it we're having trouble telling our allies what to do i see no evidence of that so far they complain but then do what they're told we have a saying here in america talk is cheap they complain but in the end of they do what they're told i hope it is different this time i hope they look at these actions and say that their own security may be at stake and they need to summon the courage and

the independence to look out for their own interests and not simply submit to the dictates of washington. but it's not just iran feeling the pressure from us restrictions fresh sanctions have been announced by america's national security adviser against cuba and venezuela john bolton said the latin american states along with nicaragua do constitute a troika of tyranny and his murder against the of now reports that strap line is just that a time honored tradition of phrases designed to turn up the hate. the u.s. government loves catch phrases short catchy and even easier to push through the press and to give them credit they aren't half bad reaganomics a bomb a cat a war on drugs the war on christmas alternative facts and this is huge and this new one is maybe even better this troika of tyranny this triangle of chair stretching

from havana to caracas to managua is the cause of immense human suffering so here is the to run make triple coober nicaragua venezuela all three left leaning socialist states with anti american sentiment what a surprise by the way i reworded troika of tyranny into to radek triple so if i hear the state department stealing my phrase it's going to be trouble but. washington has a history of packaging nations into bite size so lurkers who can forget the axis of evil states like these and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil arming to threaten the peace of the world back then the bad guys were iran iraq and north korea and the term was so good that marketing genius john bolton made a sequel that same year beyond the axis of evil there are other rogue states intent

on acquiring weapons of mass destruction particularly biological weapons that included libya syria and cuba again congratulations coober for making it both into the axis of evil and the troika of tyranny lots to look forward to more sanctions invasion maybe there are still spots open in the fall faction the villainess few and the atrocious assembly hugo of anna well they all have sort of socialist government stayed hours. hugh the u.s. line in latin america but this is still a stretch i mean they're not they're all poor countries relative to the united states and even if they were scheming in some sort of an alliance but it's nothing that would threaten the united states f.y.r. the original axis of evil and beyond the axis of evil nominees were libya syria and iraq and all were either invaded by the us or torn apart and civil war with

american troops coming in later but that's by the by what i can tell you is it isn't easy to come up with and market these little slogans for everyone you don't like which is why they have a generic term as a placeholder regimes the syrian regime aside and putin regimes kim jong un is terror regime the regime of nicolas maduro iran's regime so china russia iran and others regimes and everyone else that doesn't do is the u.s. says on the other hand saudi arabia and duress and other family iran and the prizes a government's government atari's governments saudi arabia and the u.a.e. their governments government under is government of qatar i mean nothing personal it's just politics you do is the u.s. send you good and you get a clean slate and

a blind eye to whatever shenanigans you're up to but if you don't you're in trouble mr worse case you had saddled with a dumb nickname conjured up by a board with access to a thesaurus and too much free time and even worse case scenario invaded in case you were a nomination igs sure to look up for any parachuting u.s. troops primarily these regimes as evil but it's really it's a real problem we demonize other countries because then pressure. builds well why aren't you doing something about it and so i mean we go down this road you could possibly have some military action against one or more of these countries simply because the rhetoric gets inflamed when you put labels on you know clever marketing way opposed to one countries together let's just lump all the you've all in the world in one slogan and that's again what we're doing i think they're taking the

pattern of the george w. bush administration. and using it again. meanwhile the u.n. has voted overwhelmingly in support of lifting the u.s. economic and finance involved on cuba it is the twenty seventh on the assembly has the cool to end the restrictions in america's envoy to the u.n. lashed out at the globe reporter for adopting the resolution. once again we were reminded why so many people believe that faith in the united nations is often misplaced the brutal whens of the castro dictatorship the now of freedom and the denial of the most basic human rights for the cuban people the people of cuba are our neighbors and our friends and they are fellow children of god they use this all the time that's the word bandied around but these are democratically elected people as you've known it really struck flies in the face of a country that just demands having voter suppression methods immunize these these

are popular governments with with participation voter participation percentage is that far outstrip the united states you only have about a little over fifty percent now after barack obama of the top of the electorate disappeared before the the citizens in your eyes the speeding elections in cuba it's like eighty percent of these banks are completely against the spirit and the foundation of the united nations charter they are via flagrant violations of the sovereignty of nations none of these countries have posed any threat whatsoever to the united states or to any other countries. the u.s. midterm elections are just a matter of days away and everybody is on alert again for russian trolling after the alleged interference in the twenty sixteen presidential vote u.s. intelligence and the media are convinced moscow is at it again when his party boyko with her latest episode of in case you missed it with a special guide to spotting russian madness. for us mail times all the wires to it

and in case you missed it it's highly likely you've been interfered with by a russian. these u.s. midterms are being described as the worst important since the last one and russians of baron's has been mentioned so often that some americans think it's the main account today there will be so naive votes is don't believe that russia's influence their vote slots the media and politicians in need of support or an excuse they most definitely has and if you come across them. russian influence can be subliminal to underestimate how susceptible you are. there to make sure that you don't pull victim here's what i see why my panties guide on how to spot the russian influence campaign calling it used to russian any russian you've been tampered

with it's pointless to even vote saying that search all media is the main battleground for russian influence for example if your intention is captured by a bright and mildly funny online video about politics presented by a girl with from toxic half always find out who is signing the paychecks if you need. attention to detail is key don't let anything positive you buy russians. i cannot stress this enough the influence can be subliminal voting republican will make you more attractive expert speculation suggests that russian interference on twitter that is actually really easy to spot if you come across extreme views questionable means old badly thought out opinions there probably from some within twenty fifteen and twenty seventeen an overwhelming one out of every twenty three thousand pieces of content it's just a place to visit existing russian trolls this is going vigilance and he. i know

that there are role models who can help to show the way like hillary clinton she could find russian interference in the slightest sum up and they also might leave we will only know how much russian interference says once the results are announced if the democrats do well demo nerve the russia had no influence whatsoever but if the republicans do well well then break out the board because you have basically living in the united states of russia so as you prepare to vote in the moscow made times they. want to give them quite a presidential to me to. go then i t.v. royalty oprah winfrey has scorched rumors that she is going to run for president in twenty twenty other celebrities still go after the top job it seems the water.

this is what i'm here to tell you that this was made for you. you've said though that if you did run for president you believe you'd win. rather well i think that when i tell you i would go into lives. i don't want to run. a lot of people want to see a different leadership today or you have to provide

a better leadership today seriously would you run i would i'm sure considering like you i. why didn't you vote for president donald trump that way everyone will have everybody ran for president i would. have. still to come the. t.v. executive dressed up for halloween is the killer. she will have more on that person . just after the break.

for chinese dominance going forward not only is technology venture capital but they've been buying gold by hundreds and hundreds of tons as is russia so they understand that only keep money. the chinese government's message to the people is only keep money and feel that you're willing to lose chinese people that the chinese government tells are people. by the ton hundreds of tons hundreds of

hundred tons but they know that the money inflationary spiral is a. scary these days they're also causing offense to you because a t.v. executive in the. after dressing up as the killer of. a soldier. your sickening insensitivity and indifference to the murder of jamal khashoggi is a just see unfit for your job with i.t.v. here's a public figure and has shown appallingly bad taste and insensitivity in does the head of commissioning for comedy entertainment still have a job unbelievably crass and stupid behavior. the i.t.v. editor say if somebody showed up at a celebrity party in london wearing

a bloody white coat a headscarf and carrying a plastic severed hand with turkey now accusing a saudi hit squad of killing the journalist riyadh's consulate a month ago mr seabury says he does regret his choice of caution i'm a private individual who attended a private party i realized my halloween costume in offended some people for which i apologize. well it by new nick footballer made a similar apology after dressing up as a suicide bomber in the right of the picture hey showed up at a team party on wednesday in a few. glasses carrying a box with the wood danger on it visiting defender later tweeted that he did not want to anybody's feelings but we had some contrasting views on the story from our guests i just choose to be offended by actual actions by things that actually matter things that actually do hurt people where there's real violence or real threat in a political environment like the one that we have no that is very violent characterized

by tragedies by violence by racism seen a phobia and what we are seeing in this outrage is that people find it unacceptable and are demanding a higher standard for how we should come together and represent ourselves as a culture i don't see the hate in all of them or video that your other guest happens to see and i'm not saying that it doesn't exist out there in pockets certainly it doesn't certainly we should fight that but let's do it effectively and not worry about how people dress up we have to understand that politics comes in a range of forms it comes in elections and voting obviously comes in through the economy and who holds power of service to sions and it certainly comes in the culture as well what are you going to do are you going to pass a law that bans halloween if you offend someone you should i don't know what what fill in the brain blank be put in jail i just calling for this in place calling for sleeping fat no i don't know but i'm asking you what should know but it's all in

front of me unless culture plays a tremendous role in shaping the ideologies the believes and the actions that play out politically on more formal concrete ways will want to be offended and spend their time that way that's fine i see identity politics as something that is has grossly divided us the problem with public policy is we can scream and yell and. be offended about everything what's being called complaining is actually is actually a political discourse and political practice you know and that's what we're doing and i'm not saying that it should never be mentioned if someone wears something that you know is hurtful or insensitive i think that we've taken it a bit too far in some cases. in other news at least seven palestinians were injured in clashes with israeli forces on the eastern border of the gaza strip on friday is palestinians continue their territorial protests known as the march of return
