10:04 am
u.s. thirty nine years plus a day since the rainy and revolutionaries stormed the u.s. embassy in tehran in one nine hundred seventy nine america really holds grudges the rogue regime in iran spread death destruction and chaos the iranian dictatorships long campaign remains the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism the guy even tweeted a picture of himself styled after the game of thrones t.v. show with the message that sanctions a coming play on winter is coming why he did this remains a mystery since everyone knew that they were coming he and his government all said this months ago iran spent many years under these same sanctions cut off from the world's banking system foreign trade its oil under embargo and despite that iran's oil exports never dropped below a million barrels
10:05 am
a day roughly half of what they are now it can survive it already has survived these sanctions we are well experience when it comes to sanctions do not doubt that under the worst circumstances iranians can export as much oil as they need to. regarding oil sanctions we have experienced similar restrictions in the past 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 to use sanctions are unilateral 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 while strangling the iranians into submission seems unrealistic nevertheless you can't laugh these sanctions off officially washington wants to deprive the uranium regime off money. uses the spread terror without targeting ordinary people in theory
10:06 am
humanitarian goods such as lifesaving medication are exempted from sanctions in practice everyone is so terrified of u.s. sanctions of how ambiguous they are that banks and companies simply refuse to sell around that very medication and the u.s. doesn't seem to care it's their problem 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 these sanctions haven't manifested themselves in the market yet they are already on people's minds and causing them a lot of worry in fact every year or every two to three years they see new sanctions will be imposed so people have gotten used to sanctions but that doesn't mean we accept them and it doesn't hurt it means we've had them so long they don't affect us anymore manson's are hard to come by because of sanctions no doubt if you are caring for a patient your life is affected by these sanctions sanctions decrease the quality
10:07 am
of life this people cannot now obtain things they used to obtain easily before washington sanctions hurt ordinary ukrainians the most than this is something you have to understand sanctions are not something that is who are fond as donald trump seems to suggest in his they it is game of thrones me the kind of feeling iranians average people as well as ukrainian leaders currently have regarding the us is donald trump has created a lot of mistrust in anger among the uranium because from the uranium perspective iran has been completely obliging it's part of the deal although these sanctions have had a negative effect does that necessarily doesn't mean that iran is going to concede to the united states but around remains defiant to putting on a show of force today with major trails the military exercises set to continue into tuesday and here craft batteries and radars have been deployed across
10:08 am
a number of areas in the north of the country. in other news the u.k. charity oxfam has expressed alarm at coalition led airstrikes repeatedly hitting british aid projects in yemen and oxfam representative brown's britain's approach to yemen incoherent adding that the humanitarian crisis there continues to worsen with medical facilities and water supply systems being targeted. last wednesday we had more than twenty people killed in an airstrike in for they we have fifteen people killed last month even our own interventions in places for example in in their sardar in the area called the families out there we were we provided and supported water system that has actually been bombed by a strike this is what we approached bombed out the day and get this.
10:09 am
meanwhile doctors without borders yemen also reports that coalition air strikes have hit its medical facilities it says that five centers have been targeted since twenty fifteen resulting in multiple deaths of its patients and staff and in june the group's cholera treatment center in northern yemen was hit by an asteroid these attacks are contributing to the catastrophic situation for civilians in the country .
10:10 am
while the statistics there do come mysteries amaze government faces mounting pressure to hold arms sales to riyadh do you have a problem with condemning murder and international violations of into international law in conflict mistakes are made the only thing that we don't do is actually press the button to drop the bomb arm supplies are there for those who need to defend themselves the amount of raids targeting civilians has gone up north and if these are aware of this they seem to be able floated i do not agree that if the united kingdom was simply to. deny its support for a party which is under threat and so engaged in support of illegitimate government i mean if we did that. the. way it would go is that if you look
10:11 am
well oxfam's representative in the region told us that the u.k. government must stop making excuses for coalition actions in yemen. we believe the e.u. can go no illegal party to this conflict and they actually go on one ball in the conference back in may of the twenty eight team when you're actually operational on the border areas of saudi arabia it's the same war and i don't think that the advice that giving house sitting just shown any changes happen to be with you dating or hearing over to the horrific attack wesley is a killed whether it's a school course bombing or there was another recent bus bombing recently and the main water pumping station in a day the city was bombed which left eight thousand people without water so that pattern is continuing and absent you could get one thousand people into that pattern is every few days ago attacks and every few days the u.k. government is looking to excuse the saudis in their policy in in here its role we
10:12 am
call it which is going to acquiring more and more excuses when it's also giving them dossiers information to the british government we never hear a thing then so we need them to stop the weapons now stop the sales of weapons now and the most important commit to a cease fire pressed for a cease fire in the un security council and nothing less than that will actually do to save the people you know. that thousands of demonstrators across the globe are expected to take to the streets on monday for the million mask march the protesters led by the hacktivist group anonymous and has been held every year since twenty thirty. remembered remember that the safe since november.
10:13 am
we are almost relieved. we are coming to take the car behind the son. alex back should you organizer of the march on washington d.c. a monday tell us about the main goals of the practice that's what we try to achieve year to year is just simply to raise awareness we understand that things will not change overnight but we try to get as many people out there on the streets voicing their opinions about things that have happened in the last year things that have been going on for many years and just try to spread awareness so more people know about it and we can try to get things changed that way don't want to match heat and
10:14 am
be completely you know and out of this nobody will know if you are you get out there with this voice your opinions leader voice be heard we have seen unrest in a million mets march almost every year this event has taken place since two thousand and twelve we try to keep the million mess march peaceful as we can every year but things do happen the police escalate situations as well as protesters but whenever we see these things happening we try to get them under control as quickly as possible washing out international said had he been sad caravan of my clients which he's slowly making its way towards the us is actually in dire need of a according to the u.n. we'll have the details just off the price. what politicians do. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected.
10:15 am
so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to be cross this is what before three of the more people. interested in the water. they should. make this manufactured. public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round. we can all middle of the room.
10:16 am
again let's return to our top story this us pledging a quote maximum pressure campaign against iran that after washington reimpose piece of measures lifted in twenty fifteen many nuclear deal was reached you can get some discussion with international affairs commentator john feinstein who joins us jonathan thanks very much for your time this evening we were hearing earlier that the u.s. secretary of state says that doing business with iran will be far more painful for countries and companies than just pulling out of iran europe still believes that. still trade. is that possible g. think. well it's up to european companies there's no much government target of course search question of whether the british companies and european companies in general would have the courage and strength to continue trading in spite of the threats of potential foreigns and other penalties from the united states but it's
10:17 am
really encouraging that the british government is taking this lauren because it's almost historic for britain to disagree with the united states on a major issue of foreign policy do you think washington was taken aback or surprised in any way by the reaction and the you case. i don't think they're surprised but i think they must be a little bit angry a bit disappointed as a sedes very historic for britain to be against the u.s. on a policy assurance probably because france and germany are two that's given some kind of strength to the british foreign office and the british government in general. the americans determined to garrett's alone on this and it just shows there are solutions granted that they are breaking away from international law was walking out of a solemn really engaged international agreement which was ratified by the united nations security council and it just shows that they are stepping out beyond the scope of international law so what do you predict jonathan will happen next they
10:18 am
neither. companies to try and continue to trade with the ram but they then get caught up in some sort of sanctions from the us could this be very damaging in the long term for us relations. as well we've already got to kind of mini trade war going on between the e.u. and the us sir it's not the first time that there's been economic. conflict or disputes between the two sides but it goes back of course there's a comparable example of the cuban sanctions when the united states put sanctions on cuba and the european union refused to. there's sanctions and the same sort of threats and penalties were imposed on european companies to try to trade certs not the first time this happened to me didn't work in the cuban terrorists european companies started on trading i don't think it's going to work very well in this case with iran. on this occasion jonathan the u.s.
10:19 am
has given way this isn't it to countries that are still allowed to trade with iran and he surprised. all the able european countries weren't included. nora but our guy again i think it shows that as americans i mean how come the u.s. can just sort of issue waivers which still ordinarily hire hundreds and. just to sort of say you countries are good bars you can do carry on you other countries about barzan will punish your companies i mean it just is part of this circle to american exceptionalism that they think that they are beyond the reach of international law and can behave in a high handed manner. also do they actually understand the ramifications some people are asking because they say they say that these sanctions will only target the iranian government but it's clear that civilians will be greatly effected. of course i mean the marriage of people suffering will be. civilians who are already facing inflation and problems of unemployment because of lack of investment but in
10:20 am
terms of these oil sanctions don't forget that china and india will continue to target iranian oil so that the iranian government will still get the revenues from oil but the original plan of the americans which they claim not to have in mind was regime change they wanted to encourage demonstrations in iran and as the city turned around and as the city's people would be angry over the economic hardship on employment inflation will rise up and overthrow the government now as the u.s. says that they're not interested in regime change they just talk it in the government but it's a very hauler. ok john from good to talk to you that was john steele an international affairs commentator thank you. now a hostage situation is unfolding in a post office in italy at the moment according to local media there a knife wielding man burst into the building this morning while he immediately let
10:21 am
all customers go he's continuing to hold the staff members there the man's claiming to be one of one hundred twenty five defendants convicted last week for their connections to the mafia salience demanding to speak to the interior minister that's the latest we'll keep an eye on that story for you. now the u.n. says humanitarian aid is urgently needed for a huge migrant caravan heading through mexico towards the u.s. border it includes more than two thousand children and lacks basic supplies but while some migrants have now decided to stay in mexico many are expected to reach the u.s. border in two weeks time we can show you the latest pictures of thousands of central american migrants continuing that journey towards the us mexico border where over the first members of the five thousand strong god boy people have already arrived in the capital mexico city however uncertainty does await these migrants as u.s. president donald trump confirmed that around fifteen thousand soldiers have been
10:22 am
deployed to the southern border and they're putting up a barbed wire fence. earlier it was said around seven thousand troops would be tasked with holding the migrants back operation for a full patriot is set to focus in texas arizona and also california the issue has become a key talking points ahead of tuesday's midterm elections jacqueline bouvier now has more on the migrants quest for a better life. the imminent arrival of several thousand migrants at the u.s. border has gotten both the media and politicians talking and spinning away carob it was care about the caribbean invasion dangers to the country though telling. that the biggest threat to america is some impoverished refugees democrats want to totally open the borders they have the caravan. the caravan is mostly made up of people from three central american countries wonderous guatemala and el salvador also known as the northern triangle and it's fair to say that region is not in the
10:23 am
best of shape what amala and neighboring el salvador and honduras are three of the most violent countries in the world or capital of the world there is nearly one homicide every thirteen hours a woman is murdered in this country and while both the left and the right in america are using the caravan as a rallying point the history which led to the situation seems all but ignored central america's problems do directly affect the security and the will being on their own be sold to date could recognize the caribbean and central america is vital to our interest shouldn't we president ronald reagan famously took a no holds barred approach to central america under reagan's administration the us aided the staging of a coup and guatemala and spent years propping up those who carried it out despite legitimate accusations of human rights abuses much the same can be said for el salvador where billions of u.s. dollars was poured into a government that was slaughtering its citizens meanwhile as the u.s.
10:24 am
worked to overthrow a government in a neighboring country under us was flooded with u.s. soldiers aid in arms and joint bases greatly strengthening the militarization of hunger and society the one nine hundred eighty s. where the us this was going. on through all these decades the us so ordered brutal dictatorships that surprise us mostly because. of the country it really has destroyed the ability of people to make their revenge cross for since the one nine hundred eighty s. central american migration has skyrocketed and surprisingly. and with that comes deportations remember how much trump loves to talk about the infamous m s thirteen criminal gang vile criminal cartel m.s. thirteen the savages of m.s. thirty m.s. thirteen these are animals and this thirteen lives by the motto kill rape and control well it turns out they were actually made in america refugees from all
10:25 am
founded the group in l.a. in the eighty's and the program was set up to kick the members out and send them back home and there were corruption and instability was a bound the gang flourished and terrorize the local population the irony is while coffins flaming you know drug traders are being exported to the us and back to the next order to central america some drug cartels that actually began in los angeles and moved into el salvador and have room to do that again because of the instability the us was greatly responsible for there now the u.s. has a long history of interfering in foreign country's affairs and in this instance it seems the consequences are finally coming home the us has been involved in a very. very disastrous way the violence that the us set in motion in these countries has never stopped it's just taking different forms it's
10:26 am
really the victim of these dirty us blaming the victims or their own life but the u.s. has a huge role in that and has a lot of blame that it has to really know not to. well illegal migrants are also feeling the heat on the other side of the atlantic too because hungry latvia and greece all popular destinations for migrants will start testing computerized lie detectors at their borders this month the artificial intelligence driven machines are funded by vu and it's hoped will help boost european border controls one of the researches behind the technology explains now how it works. this border guard will ask a series of questions typical to what you would see when you cross borders a europe by real border gallup's. most of them is current so we're not looking at things like smiling or frowning looking at very small movements such as an eye moving left or right so let's have
10:27 am
a closer look then at how it does operate travelers will be quizzed by a virtual border guard a bit like this one of the same ethnicity and gender to speaking their language also special software will scan his or her face for micro expressions and people going to be lying by the system will be subjected to further checks such as fingerprinting travel is still considered suspicious will then be referred to human border guards will during initial tests volunteers were asked to intentionally lie or tell the truth machine it appears was seventy six percent successful in detecting who is doing which of those behind the project do say it will help boost border security there's fear it's all a bit orwellian. some people might have a latent bias to discriminate against asian people or black people or white people whatever they are system in principle or the least should be able to. come to a decision. for a year of overt bias doesn't mean of course that they are systems of bias free
10:28 am
we've seen many examples where our systems can have their own biases but at least they can be free of overt bias if there are refugee from syria or from yemen or from any other part of the world who are suffering persecution then they should be treated with humanity and these sort of you know artificial intelligence based systems into choose to catch people out the line i don't think is appropriate and i would argue is a breach of their human rights the our border patrol system doesn't just to look out for deception on people when they're coming through the border it's a will to process the. the commission has been logged in advance for people who want to the gym at the cross the border to help speed up the paperwork at the border and it's also able to help look out for humans in cargo lorries or in stowaway. cars so there are the benefits of this system and let's have the trial let's make that trial available to all people all ethnicities or backgrounds or all
10:29 am
nationalities and let's see if it works properly and if it works properly then that's fine when you know you can introduce it but you know if you still got the same error rate of twenty four percent that means twenty four percent of cases the computer is making a mistake i don't think that's not i think when you look at refugees that's not good enough. and that's how the news is looking so fast that i hear and i see we're back again with headlines on more stories funny and ha. ha ha. ha.
10:30 am
i mentioned a tendency we're going underground on the day of the million mosque machos demonstrations around the world john guy fawkes mosques to protest international capitalism coming up in the show why in the past few days of the u.k. foreign office been hosting the leader of an alleged isis linked group the mother superior from the homes tells us who the real enemy is in syria and the british backed war in yemen we investigate the true death toll of the world's worst humanitarian crisis plus softer events to mark u.k.
