companies all too as all european governments these sanctions are said to target more than seven hundred individuals as well as aircraft and the list also includes fifty banks and will aggressively target sectors including financial energy and shipping. humam france germany in the u.k. have issued a joint statement defying trumps threats to european companies doing business with the islamic republic they say that they'll work to maintain and to grow financial channels with iran moscow insists around has been in full compliance with the treaty or china says that the u.s. must respect its right to trade with iran israel though has welcomed donald trump's decision. to visit benjamin is a peace activist and author of the book inside iran the real history and politics of the islamic republic very good to have your let's talk about the sanctions first of all how damaging are they going to be for iran in your opinion. there are

already very damaging before the second round of sanctions even went into effect the administration says it's not targeting humanitarian aid and yet there's already shortages because the banks just don't want to deal with iran and now with this extreme reduction in oil imports which is so important to the iranian economy it's the iranian people who are going to be feeling it and very hard. is that what you're particularly opposed to the people who are going to be suffering and why are you against them. oh for all kinds of reasons first of all it's the united states the height of imperial hubris that is punishing countries for actually complying with an international deal that the rest of the world except for the u.s. and israel in saudi arabia want to see move forward. what we need to do is find ways to end the conflicts in the region and this is only going to inflame the conflicts i think it's also going to give the iranian hardliners more power

over the people and yes the worst of all is that it's going to target the very ronnie and people that the u.s. government says it wants to support do you think they're being impact upon terrans foreign policy. i think the impact is going to be that they are going to move ahead supporting their allies like they have been doing and maybe even double down on that the u.s. now says it wants to see an end to the devastating war in yemen and yet why should the iranians be pushing the who to go to the negotiating table in this kind of climate so i think things will just get worse for the region and certainly for the iranian people and this will not be helpful for the american people either. what you think the risks are here for washington in terms of relations with u.s. allies well it's quite remarkable that the u.s.

is putting such pressure on its own allies telling the europeans that they are not sovereign nations that their countries their companies are not sovereign that they must abide by what the u.s. wants to do in its unilateral withdrawal it's also interesting to see these waivers they are waivers that are just temporary the u.s. tells the other countries how much it has to reduce the imports of iranian oil it also tells the countries that they must put the money in some kind of bank that can only be used for certain reasons i mean this is just remarkable that one country one superpower thinks that it is able to determine the way the rest of the world trades with iran and i hope that other countries will find ways to circumvent these sanctions. can the u.s. saying you know these sanctions on. you know members of the public in iran are being disingenuous. well there just lying we are receiving messages every

day from people in iran who are telling us how the rise in prices since the first sanctions were implemented have made it difficult for them to feed their families how they're losing their jobs how they can't get the medicines that they need that people having with cancer can't get the treatment that they need so the fact that my pompei o says that we're not targeting the iranian people is simply not true because the iranian people are hurting and from these sanctions and talking about u.s. relations with its allies i mean the u.s. has granted some waivers to i think eight countries maybe surprising no no u.k. france no germany what do you think that is well because these are precisely the countries that signed the iran nuclear deal and want to keep it intact these are the countries that are trying to find financial vehicles to circumvent the u.s. sanctions and so this is another way of seeking revenge on the part of the trumpet

ministration there a great speech appreciate your time i guess majid benjamin peace activist and author thank you. e-mail on sunday thousands took to the streets of the capital of iran to express their anger over america reimposing the sanctions the demonstrations the thirty ninth anniversary of the storming of the u.s. embassy in the city because they have reports on the new restrictions. these sanctions come into force now on the fifth of november in the u.s. thirty nine years plus a day since the rainy and revolutionaries stormed the u.s. embassy in tehran in 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 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 greens can export as much oil as they need to.

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 the u.s. 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 goal while strangling the iranians into submission seems unrealistic nevertheless you can't laugh these sanctions off officially washington wants to private the uranium regime off money. uses the spread terror without targeting ordinary people in theory humanitarian goods such as lifesaving medication are exempted from sanctions in practice everyone is so terrified of us sanctions of our big u.s. they are that banks and companies simply refuse to sell iran 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 going back 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 of life his 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 ukrainians because from the iranian 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. round two remains defiant putting on a show of force today with major drills the military exercises are to continue into tuesday and batteries and radars have been deployed across several areas in the north of the country. as the u.n. estimates that around half of the yemeni population now relies on international aid and is facing famine we bring you the harrowing story of one of the victims of the

war. why i'm a mouse mother our situation is getting worse and we're suffering from malnutrition was passed away from malnutrition after twenty days in hospital one of my neighbors called to say that one of my children was sick i dragged my daughter and one home after two days she died of malnutrition and her brother is also l. before she died and left her brother it at home and ran with her to hospital but she died on the way her father went to borrow money for her burial and my situation is better my hope has gone after him out on it.

just by the fact that she was sick i loved her more than her brothers whatever she needed i did my best to bring that to that but i had no money to send her to all santa in apps finally i brought her to hospital after disease had taken. out a has mother according to her mother she was about to bring her daughter back to the center for her children at home was sick she took her for treatment but she died on the way the situation is very distressing and they did not have enough funds to treat her otherwise they would have treated her somewhere else and not brought back to the health center we have into apps each person has to manage by themselves and this is one of the tragedies of the aggression and one of the.

tragedies caused by the war which is why some in day by day children are food and. so far ten children suffering from severe malnutrition have died dozens of children are suffering from diseases and medical complications and they have no funds for treatment or someone to take them to another place of treatment. u.k. charity oxfam has expressed along with its coalition led airstrikes repeatedly hitting british aid projects in yemen and oxfam representative brown's britain's approach to yemen incoherent adding the humanitarian crisis that continues to worsen with medical facilities water supplies being targeted. last wednesday we had more than twenty people killed in an airstrike. and we have fifty three people

killed last month even our own interventions in places for example in in their sardar in the area called the hammers out where we where we provided and supported water system that has actually been bombed by a strike this is what we bombed approaches bombed out the day yes doctors without borders yemen also reports coalition led strikes hitting it's medical facilities he says five centers have been targeted since twenty fifteen resulting in multiple deaths of patients and staff and in june the group's cholera treatment center in northern europe and was also hit by an airstrike these attacks are contributing to the catastrophic situation for civilians in the country.

these claims come as trees amaze government faces mounting pressure to halt arms sales to riyadh do you have a problem with condemning murder and international violations of international law or incomplete mistakes and make the only thing that we don't do is actually press the button to drop the bombs i'm surprised that all those who need to defend themselves the amount of raids probably think civilians is going up north if these

are all there they seem to be able flautist and i do not agree that if the united kingdom was simply to. deny its support for which she's under threat and so engaged in support of illegitimate government i mean if we did that. it would go but it's your. representative in the region told us that the u.k. government must stop making excuses for coalition actions in yemen. we believe that you can go no legal party to this conflict and they actually don't want conflict back in the way. when they're actually operational on the border areas of saudi arabia it's the same war and i do think that the advice they give a house should seek to show that any changes happen to be with you david here is the exact message is it bill whether the school board probably be thoughtful

recently to me or something to say she didn't know the city was bombed and taylor which left eighty thousand people without water so that pattern is continuing and now absolutely you can governments in people into that part of it every few days we go attacks and if we could a secret government looking to excuse the saudis in their policy in here it's wrong for it which is going to acquiring more and more excuses is also giving them dossiers information we never hear anything 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 and. britain's foreign secretary jeremy hunt has just said that for the first time there appears to be a window for a peace deal in the country you want all trump commented on the us supplied bomb that killed forty children on a yemeni school bus in august he said u.s.

arms are not to blame but rather saudi misuse of. it wasn't operated by us people there's a big difference we don't do that our people are the best operators in the world that was basically people who didn't know how to use the weapon which is horrible i think it's time he said ok we are going to revise our policies in yemen but what does he mean by that is he going to fight arming salvini says the government can prevent the size it is so this is the big question now if we are talking about peace i believe this is just up ploy because now the tramp is busy with his sanctions against iran so maybe he would like to quote him the war in the man who ordered the bullets and three on here on i don't believe this man is actually will take any action for years and the continual problem. see

from the ground the targeting yemen is markets the schools of hospitals so it seems he is and he's trying to say because of the international criticism he's trying to say i'm going to revise my policy is i don't believe him at all he is interested more in armed deals he said i have a one hundred ten billion dollars. to saudi arabia where are you going ahead with it despite the brutal murder of. the south of the journalist who was actually brutally killed. in the stumble. at. the u.n. says humanitarian aid is urgently needed for a huge migrant caravan heading through mexico towards the u.s. border that includes one two thousand children like basic supplies 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 latest pictures of thousands of central american migrants. in the journey towards the us mexico border moreover the first members of a five thousand strong convoy of people have already arrived in the capital of mexico city but uncertainty awaits the month u.s. president donald trump confirmed around fifteen thousand soldiers have been deployed to the southern border putting up a barbed wire fence. earlier it was said around seven thousand troops would be tasked with holding the migrants back operation faithful patriot is set to focus on texas of his own and california the issues become a key talking point had to choose days mid-term elections 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 care of it was care about the caribbean invasion dangers to the country those telling you. that the biggest threat to america is some impoverished refugees democrats want to

totally open the borders a 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 best of shape in neighboring el salvador and honduras are three of the most violent countries in the world girder 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 the central american problems due to security and that will be sure to do good recognizing 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 got. mala 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. work to overthrow a government in a neighboring country was flooded with u.s. soldiers aid in arms and joint bases greatly strengthening the military is ation of hunger and society the one nine hundred eighty s. where the us set up this walk of you know so while i'm on. the wall used the u.s. of war to brutal dictatorships that surprised us the most. of the country and it really has destroyed the ability of people to make their revenge and 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 and mess thirteen the savages of thirty m. s. thirteen these are animals and mr gina lives by the motto kill rape. and control well it turns out they were actually made in america refugees from el salvador founded the group in l.a. in the eighty's and the program were 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 it's 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 . or and had room to do that again because of the instability the u.s. was greatly responsible with there now the u.s. has a warm 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. has never stopped it's just taking a different form it's really victimizer us blaming the victims for their own life but the u.s. has a huge role in that and has a lot of blame that it has really over not. illegal migrants are also feeling the heat on the other side of the atlantic hungry to increase the real popular destinations for migrants and will start to test computerized lie detectors at the borders this month the artificial intelligence driven machines are funded by the european union so they'll help boost you pm border controls one of the researchers behind this technology has explained how it

works. this bought apple ask a series of questions typical to what you would see when you cross borders your by real border gallops. my son and his car. so we're not looking at things like smiling or frowning looking at very small movements such as an eye moving left or right. ok so we heard of the small movements but let's explain in more detail how this actually works travelers will be quizzed by a virtual border guard of the same nest that of mr t. in gender they'll be speaking your language special software will scan his or her face for micro expressions not people deemed to be lying by this system they'll be subjected to further checks such as fingerprinting travel is still considered suspicious what they will be referred on to human border guards now during initial testing volunteers were asked to intentionally lie or told the truth the machine the seventy six percent success rate or the developers. well they think they can improve on that they aren't the increased threat of illegal immigration makes this

is the necessary but amid the claims that the project boosts border security some still feel it's all a little bit orwellian. some people might have a bias to discriminate against asian people all black people or white people whatever they are system in principle 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 apologise for the many examples where they are systems can have their own biases but at least they can be free of overt bias if they're refugee from syria or from yemen or from money or the part of the world where 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 our border patrol system doesn't just to look out for deception of people when they're coming through the border it's

a will to process the. 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 hidden humans in cargoes of lorries or instow compartments in cars so there are the benefits of the system and let's have the trial let's make that trial available to all people all ethnicities or backgrounds or all 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 that's when joining me here in r.t. international this evening about with the latest for you in just half an hour.

here in kiev in recent days my don independence square has turned into a full scale war zone. full clancy's in ukraine's capital kiev. hard to know what. to do. now on the brink of a civil war at least seven.
