you. seem to believe. the rift widens between washington and ron as from finances he will reimpose all u.s. sanctions against iran which were listed under the twenty fifteen nuclear deal. the us national security advisor bronze cuba nicaragua and venezuela a troika of tyranny and slap sanctions on two of them. and

a t.v. executive in the u.k. spalls outrage with his halloween costume after he dresses up as the color of the journalist. we debate whether it crossed a line. can scream and yell and be offended about everything what's being called complaining. is actually political discourse you should i don't know what what the fill in the brain may be put in jail i just call in for it that's in place calling for sleeping in fact. it's eight o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all to international live from our studio with me in a day or two to welcome to the program. u.s. iran as relations have suffered another downturn and that after donald trump allows 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

punitive measures made the islamic republic more self-sufficient on saturday iran announced it's making its own find to jets for the first time the country's state media say there are one hundred percent a rainy and major and will be used for support missions. after announcing that sanctions would be reimposed a start is twitter messages to the tagline from game of thrones however this apparently didn't sit well with the network behind the c.b.s. h.b.o. says it would rather his trademark wasn't quote appropriated for political purposes the sanctions will come back into force in just two days as 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 twenty 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 a final polish the american leader has delivered while iran keeps abiding by all the demands of the twenty fifteen deal makes while still 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

barred from doing any business with iran drove a few exemptions here in their 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 it's our. yes 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 is just not the case and trumps adviser 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 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 u.s. 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 farming the you reining in nation all along position that's why many other. states that are under sanctions like russia like 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 blunts and make you know take it off the menu even for future u.s. administrations if it goes ineffective. it seems that washington's european allies haven't fully supported its latest moves the describe china's measures 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 independents to look out for their own interests and not simply submit to the dictates of washington it's not just iran feeling the pressure from us restrictions fresh the sanctions have been announced by america's national security advisor against cuba and venezuela john bolton said the two latin american states along with nicaragua constitute a choice of tyranny and as more and different polls that strap line is just the latest in a time honored tradition of phrases designed to turn up the heat. 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 care in the 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 care 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 and 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 in 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 run and the prizes a government's government atari's governments saudi arabia and the u.a.e.

their governments go in under us as government of qatar i mean nothing personal it's just politics you do is the us asks and you're 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 he 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 evil 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 un has voted overwhelmingly in support of lifting the us economic and finance embargo curry place on cuba is the twenty seventh time this and these issues the call to end the restrictions america's envoy to the u.n. lashed out at the global body 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 when of the castro dictatorship denial 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 released 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 folks of the electorate of disapproving or the. citizens immunize the speeding of elections in cuba it's like eighty percent of these banks are completely against the spirit and the foundation of the united nations charter. violations of the sovereignty of nations none of these countries have posed any threat whatsoever to the united states or to any other countries. u.s. midterm elections are just a matter of days away and everybody is on the alert for russian trolling of the

alleged interference in the twenty sixteen presidential vote u.s. intelligence and the media are convinced moscow is that it again is polly pocket with her latest episode of in case you missed it with a special guide to spotting russian letters. let us know times are almost ten 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 most important since the last one and russian into barons has been mentioned so often that some americans think that the main account today there will be so naive voted who don't believe that russia's influence their vote but 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. so you can make sure that you

don't pull rank tim here's what i see why my panties guide on how to spot your russian influence campaign conway if you are russian any russian you've been tampered with it's pointless even voting the search and media is the main battleground for russian influence for example if your attention 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. 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 to place just as it exists in russian trolls lom this is why vigilance is key. i knew and they said there are role models who can help to show the way like hillary clinton she could find russian interference in the slightest announcement was a ultimately we will only know how much russian interference says once the results are announced if the democrats do well demo 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 times a. day. well i'm just i'm quite a person that sent me to. t.v.

a volunteer program for a has shot down room and she's going to run for president in twenty twenty other celebrities the lines for the top job at the white house. this is what i'm here to tell you this was mary. you've said though that if you did run for president you believe you'd win. but i don't know i think that when i tell you i would go until. i don't want to run.

a lot of people want to see a different leadership today or you know i'm sorry that's different but a better leadership today seriously would you run i would i'm sure consider what you say i. wonder if you vote for president donald trump that way everyone will have everybody ran for president. there is outrage in the u.k. after a t.v. executive dressed up for halloween as the killer of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi more a lot after this break. what

politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express an injury. or something want to. get it right to be close it's like the flag tree in the morning can't be good.

interstate falls in the waters of the hour. welcome back to the program halloween costumes on just scary these days because sometimes they also cause offense and t.v. executive in the u.k. has sparked outrage after dressing up as the color aside and janice jamal how shocked are. you sickening insensitivity and indifference to the murder of jamal khashoggi suggests yawn fit for your job with i.t.v. his a public figure and has shown appallingly but taste and insensitivity in. does the head of commissioning for comedy in entertainment still have a job unbelievably crass and stupid behavior i.t.v.

editor asif zubairy showed up at a celebrity party in london wearing a bloodied white coat a headscarf and carrying a plastic severed hand with turkey now accusing a saudi hit squad of killing the journalist that we had consulate a month ago with the sabera says he regrets his choice of cost you. i'm a private individual who attended a private party i realized my how in cost to marry offended some people for which i apologize. a buy in munich a footballer made a similar apology after adjusting up as a suicide bomber. in the right to the pictures showed up at a team party on wednesday in a traditional arab rope glasses carrying a box with the would danger the brazilian defender later tweeted that he did not want to hurt anyone's feelings we had some contrast in views on the story from out guess. i just choose to be offended by actual actions by things that actually

matter things that actually do hurt people where there is 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 xenophobia and what we are seen 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 the more 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 and look this 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 pullet a cool 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. newly declassified files reveal the cia under the obama administration red congressional e-mails on protection of whistleblowers in

the intelligence community republican senator chuck grassley who fought for years to have the documents brought to light is calling for a public debate on whether the file show the cia hindered congress policies. the fact that the cia on the the obama administration was reading congressional staffs e-mails and told to whistleblowers raises serious policy concerns the agency says it was just conducting routine counterintelligence monitoring this area a view to e-mails between the intelligence community inspector general's office which protects whistleblowers and congressional staff. this is not the first time the issue of whistleblowers has raised concern and the obama administration during his two thousand and eight presidential campaign obama had pledged support for washed dogs revealing wrongdoing in government on taking office however he oversaw an unprecedented crackdown on whistleblowers in his two terms as president eight individuals are prosecuted under an arcane one hundred year old bill called the

espionage act more than double the number of prosecutions under previous administrations combined. media and legal analysts lionel says it's unlikely the cia will change the way it operates anytime soon. what are the repercussions what do what happens i mean if you're brennan if you're clapper and you say this and don't know worry about it responded that nothing happened but rick more importantly the biggest problem is not that is that the american people don't we report on those and you know what there's a what do you do hey work that's the way it goes remember one of the tobacco people came up with the shorter oath it was known nicotine is not addictive remember when m.l. b. are the major league baseball players lie about steroid use have you ever heard anybody charged with perjury look you know i'm a lawyer and if a judge. tells me you do something for four years i'm going to be there's going to be an order to show cause people nobody knows nobody but read the bottom line is

unless the american people get upset and they scream and yell that's what's going to make a difference i saw a round of of the news and i'll be back at the top of the l with more but for now his way back to tonight. there's now a building around brick here and you wonder though why says terrorists. there are bad memories. twenty four years ago this country saw a real end of the world. after the genocide there in most women in rwanda the man. fell to women to fix what the men had broken.

taxed as a financial survival guide stacey let's learn a salad fill out let's say i'm not so i guess in your case i'm greece comes back from the fight. thank you for. the story that's true. that's slavery. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

welcome to our dax in tonight's i'm john f. o'donnell camp is off this week he's on tour doing stand up about politics religion social injustice and surprisingly how ridiculous small dogs look when their owners make them wear sweaters like obsessed with that but don't worry and we're back next week hosting a brand new episode and this week we've got an amazing new all correspondence episode for you to enjoy first up the truth bomb natalie mcgill. if you're filthy rich but still want to do the lord's work and donate to charity then you have a few options if you're a celebrity you could go on celebrity jeopardy and make alex trip back in the

f.c.c. really uncomfortable then pick again cultured go for two hundred. all right but there is another option that the very wealthy are taking to make themselves look charitable while still continuing to hoard all of their wealth. and that option is to put their money in a donor advised fund or data a donor advised by an act as the middleman between the wealthy and a charity put your money in the fund then the phone grants money to your charity of choice which sounds ok on its face until you realize that donors claim their tax deduction up front when they donate to the dav before deciding which public charities the money should go to jesus christ that's like getting the first place trophy while you're still on the bus on the way to the soccer game but what's

just as concerning as this upfront reward is that the largest growth and donor advised funds has been among for profit wall street firms such as charles schwab and fidelity investments and a donor advised fund can just reinvest the funds forever without ever giving any money to charity. so by creating their own donor advised funds wall street investment firms like the delany and charles schwab are enabling ultra wealthy clients to collect a charitable tax break without necessarily supporting a charity this charities are as likely to see that money as you are to see a cracker barrel right out of gravy or an actual star on dancing with the stars but seriously though who does that before wall street firms took over the biggest recipient of charitable giving in the u.s. two years ago was the united way which if you recall couldn't even get the flesh

and blood in richest.
