in the early one of the war. almost the the world. with. these this is. often started on. the old vision stopping the wars in student loans and funders up in these crowds and the fine. was. it was. it was. ok i am iranian spin the american flags on the anniversary of the nine hundred seventy nine us embassy takeover as washington has to reimpose or form a sanctions on iran including employers embargo. i run sound english village had some front and center in the us midterm election campaign after mistaking me being

used to illustrate a dystopian future in the state. pays a visit. oh you mean you want to even america. would you want to come but he would so you become a speech in people's faces yes just like. sweet talk to a survivor of rwanda's genocide his human rights groups called for the reopening of an investigation into the french on these failure to respond to the pace of repels masika. you're watching the weekly teams national with me and they should be around top of the global news this shape the week. thousands of people have rallied in iran's capital against the u.s. decision to reinstate sanctions against the country the protest also marks thirty

nine years since the storming of the u.s. embassy in tehran. demonstrators set fire to american and israeli flags the takeover of the u.s. embassy and nine hundred seventy nine led to a hostage crisis lasting more than a year and of course a reffed in relations that continues to this day rallies honoring the events held every year into iran the thai witnesses say this was the largest in recent memory when announcing the sanctions against iran and trump posted this tweet inspired by the tagline from game of thrones the restrictions take effect on the morning of november the fifth in the u.s. they follow washington's withdrawal from the twenty fifteen nuclear deal the measures target oil banking and shipping the u.s. secretary of state says the main target is the rainy and government efficiency or

areas of a run for economy it is aim to deprive the regime of the revenues that it uses to spread death and destruction around the world. people on the streets of tehran say it's ordinary civilians who end up bearing the brunt of the sanctions tatting like the sanctions imposed by the u.s. which they say will target our government will definitely affect people's lives putting much more pressure on us even though the sanctions haven't manifested themselves in the market yet they are already on people's minds and closing them and not. much time or you are going on the same sions we have experienced similar restrictions in the past and we've managed to get by somehow so we now have more experience than we did back then moreover we now have the international community on our side which wasn't the case in the past given both these factors i think will be ok in the end. those sanctions will have no impact on either people's lives or on the government as usual these are just empty slogans. of the sanctions are you

know actual sanctions this means that the international community will not support them based on that i don't think america will be able to achieve its goals. when they harm the reigning nation they have always been there for the past four decades and they've been arming the you a new nation all along they're in position that's why many other. states that are under sanctions like russia like many others 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 in 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. despite pressure from the us your opinion has confirmed its commitments to the iran nuclear deal brussels will say vowed to protect companies that do business with iran but despite all the tough talk washington may be more flexible than its letting on. we ask all nations to isolate iran's regime. as long as its aggression continues but we do not intend to allow our sanctions to be invaded by europe or any body else. you know we will work to maintain the framework of the twenty fifteen deal in spite of the american decision by ensuring that our companies can stay in iran looking at the latest decision so for the cha cha well to see the same. with friends like that we need to show that

he's going to want to be muscles that wouldn't be blind you to what american sound you want us to say with economic interests one time economic relations with iran. would never threaten anyone but we do not tolerate threats from anyone. we want to use want to achieve maximum pressure but we don't want to harm friends and allies we. want a mean for zero. they are now giving to a countries themselves for you in for that indicates that they have on

just is that the maximum pressure on the wrong. and now they are changing that maximum pressure to enough pressure that it be. able to succeed or not that's also on the question because they cannot. be needed they think against iran because now there is defense in america and have been. ministration on the is this connecting you ron ron do you know that policy system which enables the science messaging that can be. hard against the one that's in the mix we've bought that's the area of difference inside the united states between donald trump that is officials in the cabinet. and english seaside village has been getting some unexpected attention in the u.s. mid-term election campaign to it sounds as one of the u.k. slease prosperous areas and images of mr lapp

a dayton streets have appeared on the republican party peyster party boyko explains why. what links this essex seaside town to the upcoming u.s. mid-term elections and insensitive political advice that's what locals here in jail exxon's in essex have been left feuding after a pro trump republican candidate for the senate for the state of illinois used a photograph of j. wick sands on his social media feed as an anti advertisement so the caption next to the photograph read only you can stop this from becoming a reality but the problem is the picture wasn't quite reality the image of jay wick sounds that he used was taken several years ago and since then the local authorities have made quite a few improvements to the local area so the locals here all rather cross country to try to park in america are and then you come to a cover of a walking joy and you see the different plane. when it is in america we don't

remember for there right now again i was iraq and everything america we hear is just let's say we can referee it winds come in use an old fire of africa somewhere and say look your town is going to look like this is the bad news. and much noise should be used are going to put a good picture on it we got a bit of hostility with the camera down there is it kind of is it is do you guys feel a bit kind of burned by the negative press attention that you guys have had yes because of the t.v. show that happened way before yeah now when you want to come study would say they come with sticks in people's faces yes just you know. with you know people don't like it they don't like it or the offending advice has now been removed and dr nextel a spokesperson has issued an apology or cough an apology our intent was never to smear to town and to photo known to us as jay wick sands in essex we never used

a name for us it was an example of a town overburdened by poor governance. which is exactly what we in our district are seeking to provide at every level back in two thousand and ten and two thousand and fifteen the government named the area as the most deprived in england in fact i was here to report on it at the time the time was thought up as a holiday resort for city dwellers back in the one nine hundred twenty s. these are all meant to be summer houses but because rents were so cheap people started living here all year round some parts of the town like tarmac roads street lighting or even pavements lost to shops that were here have been boarded up unemployment is rife in the town in fact sixty two percent of the people that let's head to pend on welfare payments. for the town isn't exactly a luxury seaside resort it is still

a deprived area and even the local authorities have been keen to stress that they have invested in new roads and new drainage systems could use more money there is some hesitation when you talk to the locals as well they don't want to talk to the cameras they've been burned before by bad press and they're keen to turn the image of the town around some concede that they could definitely use more investment but it's not up to politicians in america to judge their hometown one interesting suggestion came from the director of a documentary about jay which she said that dr nick stella should come over here and she could show them around the town and so he can see for himself all the improvements that have been made i get the sense that the locals here would have one or two things to say to him. french human rights groups are calling for an investigation into the nine hundred ninety four rwandan genocide to

be reopened that saw for the release of a video which appears to show a senior french military officer being informed about a massacre taking place in an area known as the basis of your health yet the army fails to intervene. before you only two confessional now human rights activists are demanding answers one leader of the organization survey is a plaintiff in the case she says it was too premature to close the case while other lawyers are accusing france were in direct complicity in the genocide lines of inquiry were not sufficiently followed up to allow investigators to determine france's military and political responsibility french military authorities were aware that from the afternoon off twenty seventh of june on words civilians were being killed the survivors open the case thirteen years ago although back in july it was scrapped due to lack of evidence and lack of convictions but survivors of

the massacre claim they asked the french military for help on june twenty seventh one thousand nine hundred ninety four but the military only came three days later already after hundreds of people were killed in the massacre and the allegation now is that the french government actually knew what was going on and specifically decided not to intervene in the genocide was committed mainly by the hutu government and its backers against the ethnic minority tutsi tribe allegations of the french government support for the hutus who carried out most of the slaughter in the genocide have been rough on the french government's relations with the rwandan government for years but the french although they admit that they've made mistakes they say they have no complicity in the genocide that took place there.

we asked one survivor of the africa if he was surprised by the new he found the da . norad to do almost no video doesn't surprise me i was very happy that media published the truth we deserve my viewers have known this really long time it's important that the french people knew what happened back in one thousand nine hundred four when the military was there so you know but i only know that promise to declassify the archives they didn't work out she everything he published was already known the only thing i have to add is that the french people have swallowed the truth. is of the us midterm election and some politicians have been accused of playing on people's fears but says caleb maupin

explains what veritas fear most might surprise you. efforts to influence the twenty to midterm elections the big news and divisive stories and posts caravan of impoverished migrants white nationalists prepared to take to the streets trump administration plan couldn't race the definition of transgender but according to a new poll conducted by chapman university in california americans actual fears don't really line up when given a list of one hundred things to be afraid of including nuclear war zombies ghosts and other terrors americans listed their primary phobia for the fourth consecutive year as being corrupt politicians. and perhaps this fear isn't exactly baseless we do have a president whose tax returns are still under wraps and he seems to be pretty blatantly doing favors for his next of kin i've heard evolved i've heard how good would it be. the people that know there's nothing to do with that but does that but

i want to tell you the people that know that he wagner would be done but. then be accused of nepotism if you could believe it right and trump got a lactaid by tearing into his opponent hillary clinton he called her crooked hillary because her reputation for shady deals has been around for years the f.b.i. even looked into her clinton foundation the former secretary of state never shied away from taking big sums from financial heavyweights to do have to be paid six hundred seventy five thousand dollars well i don't know that's what they offered. accusations of corruption are abundant in american politics even though they rarely make the legal field in the united states there's all kinds of politicians being accused of insider trading lavish gifts as they say welcome to american politics but it seems that the mainstream media is working overtime to direct our phobias elsewhere there's no living with the russian federation to undermine american

democracy while you know what we have to work on immigration i have a big there. a district a live agriculture a lot of undocumented workers but these things aren't even in the top ten because we have so many of them. the things that relate to your life or the future of your kids and things like that not trumped up things like you know terrorism is going to get to or the your your bridges are going to fall down or something it's real life things that people are worried about a part of it is the economic ones including the corruption of politicians i was interested in the corrupt politician thing being at the top because for a long time people haven't recognized how corrupt their politicians are they think it's thinking in gradually that the whole system really stinks american politicians have learned that playing on people's fears is a big seller but it seems that what scares the americans the most is the very scare mongers trying to manipulate their fears tale of mopp and r.t.

new york more news after the break. geysers financial survival. when customers go buy your stuff. well reduce and lower. that's undercutting but what's good for markets is very good for the global economy. in terms of blasphemy i mean possibly has never actually been used nobody has been prosecuted but you are right it was only renewed ten years ago by a previous government and it really shows how out of step the political establishment has been there's been a huge movement of women and young people on days been pushing the political

establishment you know relentlessly on the issue of the abortion rights because ten women a day leave the country and five others were taking pills online illegally. welcome back to. china's president has raised the specter of a potential conflicts after instructing the country's military to be ready for war but how much of this is merely posturing more i'd have takes a closer look so here's the thing the chinese government almost never says anything you wouldn't expect that's their thing they give me their incredibly careful reserved at least with the tongues so when the chinese president orders his

military to prepare for war serious indeed. the military to concentrate on that banksy right in this war the chinese are preparing for war out loud. how over how did we get to this well trump for one aside from land blasting the chinese at every opportunity is tariffs sanctions his trade war he's also being very heavy handed congress has just approved a second arms deal with taiwan in eighteen months. of untruthful the sales of weapons by the united states to taiwan damages china's sovereignty and security interests that beijing sees china and taiwan as two parts of a whole two chinese entities same culture at this it's the same languages with two separate governments communist capitalist the end goal is to reunite into one state

there are differences of course currency preventing that and about one hundred kilometers of c. that separate the two and trump always a fan of sticking it to the chinese he's been through seeing his warships right between the two china's. we have expressed our concerns to the u.s. side the taiwan issue concerns china's sovereignty and territorial integrity and is the most important and sensitive issue in china u.s. relations well for starters how about you express your concerns about these important and sensitive issues to someone who cares a little more because that in trump we worry about. i don't worry about things. let's be great never worrying about anything

unfortunately others are there are those in china who believe that america wants taiwan to declare independence and the chinese are preparing for that eventuality militarily. it's your own you know we are resolute to defeat any scheme or act of taiwan independence in any form. thing is the taiwanese don't really see a point to defending themselves taiwan which we simply switched from conscription to a volunteer army is having huge trouble recruiting even reserve troops dodging the juicy after all that's the point there when the government needs to think whether it's necessary to bring conscription back if they think national security matters

but taiwan is a minor player in these confrontation if war does break out it likely be the people's republic of china slugging it out with the united states rather than taiwan and that is a war that trump really really ought to be worried about the world is really across rolled the united states has been pushing china round him really china and imposing unilateral tariffs on the chinese exports china does not want to have a trade war with the united states and china does not want to have a conflict with the united states but if the united states really wants to impose these things i'll do china i think the chinese people will be fully mobilized behind the chinese government and the chinese military. off to almost two decades at the forefront of chairman politics and glenn mcclary outs to men day she

measure it along political russian ality this move by going to mercury is not surprising at all because her party was losing. confidence among the electorate and the reason and so to speak the burden of this party was on herself so it was quite rational for her to leave office as party chairman but they were the less whenever something important happened you usually are surprised by it happening right now and this is why there was rain this uprising that anger merkel is so quickly stronger consequences out of the disaster still a electoral defeats during the last eight elections and if they aren't and in history. that the stories that shaped the week safe now have more in thirteen minutes time up next it's worlds apart.

luck. out. and. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race often spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful

very critical of time time to sit down and talk. 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 long for the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per 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 numbers you need to remember one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only. god. there. are.

abortion ban the repeal of the blasphemy law were major milestones for you personally for your party as well as for your country as a whole but i think to many outsiders the main question is not so much how did i do it but how did it manage to hold out for so long how do you explain it well it isn't unusual to. church how to control the country since independence almost a hundred years ago the church and state were interconnected i suppose because it was a very weak economy. the new independent routers to close connection with the catholic church for social control. the church had control of health education and specks of life includes including advising the government on passing. legislation. restricting the free.
