announcement that it will scrap exemptions on iran crude imports secretary of state . confirmed that washington will not extend way visit had drawn to countries. today i'm announcing that we will no longer grant any exemptions we're going to zero going to zero across the board seems like washington d.c. is looking to escalate its campaign against iran to isolate iran now in his announcement pompei all bragged that iran has already lost about ten billion dollars and he said and his remarks that he emphasized basically that nobody should be doing any business with iran that any nation or entity interacting with iran should use its diligence and err on the side of caution the risks are simply not going to be worth the benefits if you don't abide by this they'll be sanctions now it's been about a year since the trumpet ministration unilaterally withdrew from the j c p o a the

p five plus one nuclear conclusion that basically pulled the united states out of the nuclear deal that had been made with iran and now we see that there have been eight countries in the world they were granted waivers from the u.s. sanctions and allowed to continue buying iranian oil in exchange for the fact they were reducing it those countries were china india japan south korea taiwan turkey italy and greece those waivers are now being taken away the united states is announcing there will be no exceptions there will be no iranian oil they are saying no one should do business with iran and the countries who want to make up the difference should either buy crude from the united states or they should buy it from saudi arabia or the united arab emirates both the kingdom of saudi arabia and the united arab emirates have assured us they will ensure an appropriate supply for the markets and of course united states is now a significant producer as well. i can confirm that each of those suppliers are working directly with iran's former customers to make the transition away from

iranian crude less disruptive now the people's republic of china which imports quite a bit of oil from iran was certainly not happy to hear this announcement. always opposes unilateral sanctions and long u.s. jurisdiction china's cooperation with iran is open transparent and legitimate and should be respected now turkey has also voiced opposition to this announcement saying it rejects this unilateral move from the united states we're waiting to hear from the european union which has long been an advocate of the nuclear deal and a critic of the way trump you know laterally withdrew the united states from it so we're waiting to see further reactions that we've seen the reaction on the international oil markets this is a dramatic move from the united states in response to the u.s. move the iran has threatened to block the strait of hormuz the world's key oil autrey transporting over a third of international crude is that republicans also described the sanctions as

illegal video agency took to the streets of tehran to get iranians reaction to washington's latest move. i get him all the time if you want to prosper we shouldn't rely so we don't know what we have to get out of this who is our supreme we should be you this is an opportunity over the last ten years we have found ways that allow us to keep exporting so i'm not at all worried in this respect cutting that runs on oil exports but pressure would marry reigning and it's us who are bearing the brunt. of turkey's also strongly criticized america's this isn't and sanctions wave is saying the move will undermine reasonal stability iranian foreign nuclear physics but for you told us america's actions of force into iran into a more combative stance. the u.s. is seriously escalating this unilateral economic warfare against iran jeopardizing economic well being of iran and the indian people putting iran

against the wall and therefore one should naturally expect a stiff a reaction from your on which may come in the form of implementing their threats industry it of hormuz so the u.s. is edging closer to war with iran using all kinds of excuses. trump is serving a democratic led congressional committee over its attempts to obtain his financial records claiming the requests are politically motivated this comes as the u.s. president faces increasing pressure on a number of fronts for his political opponents democrats are now also considering whether to start impeachment proceedings against trump over a possible obstruction of justice in the a probe. it may be that we undertake an appeal nonetheless i think what we are going to have to decide is a caucus is what is the best thing for the country waters' wholly in the castro

have said we should begin proceedings to impeach the president are you there yet i can foresee that possibly coming that there is a nap information there not only on obstruction of justice but also on collusion or conspiracy whatever you want to call it to move forward with impeachment on this president following the release of the redacted version of the reports the democrats seem to be split over whether to start the impeachment process in a conference call earlier to discuss what his findings the house speaker nancy pelosi resisted plans for impeachment but did cool for further investigation the report says there was no trump russia collusions during the twenty sixth the election campaign but couldn't determine whether there was obstruction of justice by the president and he karen has been assessing just how to link the investigation saga has ended with cools through vic trump from the oval office. for the past two years robert muller and his special reports have been the darling of news fodder

miller's celeb status skyrocketed after he was tasked with answering one simple question have donald trump cheated his way into the white house with a little help from his friends in the kremlin what followed was two years of soap opera sized scandal and intrigue with bizarre rumors salacious gossip plot twists and an enviable cast list the anticipation for the premiere of the final report was like waiting for the latest tarantino whatever grisly tallit was about to divulge it was going to be all kinds of golden globe style good the thing is what dropped was a box office flop the people wanted scandal and humiliation they wanted shock and horror they wanted house of cards what they got was mr bean the first official trailer of the much anticipated report was released by the general prosecutor william barr in march and it was savaged instead of the explosive finale promised

what they got was the equivalent of they woke up and it was all a dream in one thousand nine hundred nine a.g. barr refused to release the department of justice legal opinion choosing to release a summary report and it was later revealed the mischaracterized parts of the summary and times pay as they like wait we paid thirty million dollars for that on a quest to seek out the scandal the democrats uncensored version of the report if there is juice in that report the dems are going to squeeze it out imagine what kind of sauce could be concealed under all those redacted pages but is it possible to breathe new life into a dead duck well maybe it is the director's cut of the mother report will include deleted scenes along with murders and bars comments and under the sexed up new title and obstruction of justice. it's the same report same investigation just with

some expert editing thoughtful repackaging and worrying for at least a couple of sequels before the twenty twenty alexion take i have called on the house to initiate in pietschmann preceding this is an invitation to congress to say you can do it using the impeachment power we want to remove him from office by gaining back our democracy and electing a democrat president you know i wouldn't support it. you know i don't i think with the elections coming up we'll have an opportunity to voice what we want to happen the next four years with no mind him to be and he's. destroying the people. and it wouldn't do any good i don't think it would necessarily be good for keeping the country more unified there's a big partisan divide meanwhile larry king host of the political show it all to you spoke with the full foreign policy of us at the trump's presidential campaign

george papadopoulos it was the first person charged under the motor investigation and pleaded guilty in october twenty seventh team you can see the full interview on dot com for now though here's a quick preview. did you have russian connections that's the that's the million dollar question and my answer is i've never been to russia i've never met a russian official in my entire life and actually all of my work leading up to my work my time on the campaign was very hostile to russia because i was in the energy business and the last thing you're doing as an american person is promoting russian interests why did you believe well look at the time i pled guilty i had been violently arrested at an airport ok i was under sea old i go i will go well i had seven f.b.i. agents essentially rushed me off of a shuttle bus at an airport after i hadn't slept in thirty hours i'm thrown into the back seat of a tent to black. to be thrown in a prison cell without understanding why i was being arrested and i basically plead

guilty without understanding exactly what the real case was against me what do you make of the whole mall investigation in my a couple sentences i believe the investigation was designed for one reason the one reason only and that was to cover up surveillance abuse by the obama administration on people like myself mike flynn man a ford and carter page but unfortunately that's not going to happen because the president just a couple days ago or maybe last week was on hannity and hannity asked him a couple questions are you going to pardon papadopoulos and flynn he demurred and he said look it's a sad situation a look we'll get back to that later but right now the most important thing is declassifying all this fight material the three o two and figuring out how this entire investigation started. the sri lankan government supposed to failing to act on warnings from foreign intelligence agencies that the country was facing the possibility of attacks on

churches their mission came a day after a spate of bombings left two hundred ninety people dead on easter sunday officials have also said they believe that the islamist group allegedly behind the atrocity received support from abroad we do not believe these attacks were carried out by a group of people who are confined to this country there was an international network without which these attacks could not have succeeded. a day after the deadly explosions police discovered almost ninety detonators at a bus stop in the capital colombo an interview with bloomberg a prominent sri lankan muslim leader said he'd also warned officials of the threat posed by the group believed to have been behind the attacks three years ago but he says he wasn't taken seriously on monday there was a further explosion in colombo special forces had been trying to defuse explosives in a van used by the attack is not yet clear whether anyone was. i

. think. that was standing any we heard a loud bang and we fainted that's all i remember we heard a loud explosion and everything collapsed we managed to protect the children but when i came here i found out that my son in law and my son had died. i wish to express my heartfelt solidarity with the christian communities affected one it was a prayer with all the victims of such cruel violence. the

government temporarily blocked social media in the wake of the attack saying it was done to stop the spread of false information neil harvey discussed the move and its implications with journalists vincent pottle and derek bros. a lot of show you start happening with a social no warts all over the world and more and more going around at a concert and who gets what could happen. to free use of the snowball it's all over it's now being looked at as a as a negative role that's being played by the likes of facebook if we look at the christchurch attacking israel and and now the fears of the authorities in sri lanka the tool of social media over the last decade has been used in a number of great ways you can look at the arab spring you can look at the growth of the independent alternative media in the united states and really around the world you know they want to prevent certain hate content or hate speech from spreading and so even before it spreads we're now starting to see actively

suppressing of access to the internet maybe access to facebook the governments of the world as well as the tech companies and some of the media are promoting and portraying social media i have difficulty accepting that they are and simply doing this out of the kindness of their hearts and out of to keep the you know the people from having access to graphic content i do think that it benefits governments of the world once they start censoring certain parts of the internet what is happening all over and what happened. that creates. some governments that want to prevent. their hate of speech to explode after one of two situations the problem is that you are at the same time you are preventing the people to communicate for instance in atlanta to use what's. going to popular a lot of people cannot communicate with their own families there is that i mean we

can't just say that the government is making it up can we have seen the darker side of humanity does emerge in in the wake of terrorist attacks the negative element it is a reality is that anybody who has been involved in any sort of media creation whatever type of content creation you do whether writing articles making music. you know bar broadcasting part you get really ignorant hate for sometimes ugly despicable comments online and there are people who you know they do this anonymously you can find things on the internet right now that are much more graphic than anything you can see in the new zealand shooting video you can see much more graphic things on hollywood films and on you know the nightly news but those things are allowed to continue to be on the web when there is a terrorist attack floods of information come in pictures videos comments and claims and it's increasingly difficult to know just what is true that awful lot of fake stuff that's put out and i would make the argument that increasingly deliberately fake information is being spread now how on earth do you try and

organize control these situations and filter the information soon all the time. people are trying to create through information and by old i mean. it's not nothing new for a journalist generally seem to trust check real or not so we can do the same job. journalist organizations have condemned french police after reporters were detained on saturday during the twenty third consecutive weekend of yellow vest demonstrations artie's charlotte dubinsky looks of the story. well the two independent journalists were among the more than two hundred individuals who were detained by police arrested in act twenty three their names are gassed by the glance and also lexis and we know that the paris prosecutor has said that they were

arrested for participation in a group to commit violence or degradation now the interior ministry has been talking about the arrests these journalists it said that the police c.r.s. these officers are out every week they're out to try and make sure that there is safety for the deming's. it is and the journalist carry out these protests and also to cover these protests that have been happening since november every week since november here in france but that statement from the interior ministry then goes on to say that if journalists are deemed to have committed an offense then they are likely to also be detained and arrested by the officers on the ground now the national union of journalists in france sees that as being straight and it has gone even further saying it believes that some journalists are being specifically targeted there is the question the merging is their determination to intimidate journalists we have an impression some of them are being targeted since the yellow

vast movement appeared the number of incidents targeting journalists when they're filming or photographing how to work the press and nimitz the coverage of events which represent crucial public interest. what journalists have been confronted with for months by security forces over the yellow vests movement is unprecedented outrageous and very dangerous they interfere with birken only possible ways as journalists are not given nexus their press cards are taken away they're told we don't care about you cause you won't get through their equipment is taken away and broken they're shown to them to write guns as if by mistake obviously by accident then kneecaps have broken they attacked the injured in various ways this has been captured in numerous videos and photographs we have received already more than thirty complaints it's now five months since this protest movement began twenty three consecutive weeks of protests and every week

sounds a little sister right in the streets to trying to control those protests last saturday twenty three there were some sixty thousand offices deployed across france to try and control those protests and we've also seen the protesters turning on the police in recent weeks pacifically on saturday where they would protest is filmed screaming at the police go kill yourselves let's take a look at the violence that marred yet another protest. so what can put out the fire of these protests that have been going on for so long in france president michel in hopes of the speech he's due to make on thursday to outline his response to the big debate this is the debate that they started to ask

people what their issues were in france will actually call the protests will it well i'm not so sure because so far nothing has been able to see. stop these protests. scores of regime skeptics will be elected if brussels forces the u.k. to hold the u. parliamentary elections next month that's the stark warning from britain's trade minister. who asked we know european partners want to disruptive and resentful u.k. members of european parliament if british m.p.'s again reject a reason ms brooks at the vor still next month the day after the vote the u.k. will take part in e.u. parliamentary elections meanwhile top level disagreements over the u.k. taking part in e.u. elections have been voiced that the e.u. parliament. i fear that it will continue to uncertainty i fear that it will prolong the indecision and i fear most of all that it will

import the mass into the european union and moreover that it will poison the upcoming european election has the right and of billick. to take part in this election they also can't agree to establishing a second got there to remember shit. even will find independent member of the european parliament thinks that the rise of u.k. euro skeptics could force brussels into a rethink in brics or talks. if you get fifty euro skeptics or even thirty euro step to which i think would be a reasonable number you have to see where the concern is for the european parliament they know that this election is a big election for the european union because they expect and the polls are showing that about one hundred sixty to one hundred seventy euro skeptics will come from germany sweden italy hungry poland and if you have thirty british

m.e.p. the number there for could be up to about two hundred and two hundred opponents of the european union could make a lot of trouble if they do see large numbers of euro skeptics all joining up together creating problems in the legislative process delaying it slowing it down or maybe even stopping it and that will give an impetus for the council of the commission to perhaps say maybe we can renegotiate in some way so that we can get these euro skeptic brits out. leading digital rights group known as the electronic frontier foundation is called on facebook to crack down on the alleged mass use of fake accounts by law enforcement agencies facebook's practice of taking down these individual accounts when they learn about them from the press or from air is insufficient to deter what would believe is a much larger iceberg beneath the surface we often only discovered the existence of

law enforcement fake profiles months if not years after an investigation has concluded this comes after the u.s. department of homeland security used facebook when it created online details of an entirely fake college called the university of farmington to catch any girl migrants most of those court were indians and triggered a furious outcry from the indian government which said the practice amounted to entrapment. and u.s. agencies all have their policies allow them to catch people who are breaking the law however facebook disagreement law enforcement or florida keys like everyone else are required to use their real names on facebook and we make this policy clear on our public facing law enforcement guidelines page operates in fake accounts is not allowed and we swiftly act on any violating accounts with a social activist who says such measures amount to a human rights violation. the united states alliance horsemeat does not only buy

only facebook lies it in it by elites our own federal state local municipal law the federal government the local government even vigilante groups and they're in the border states continuously violently sovern human rights for undocumented people in people seeking asylum here in this country i think it's become apparent the united states of america wants to be owner controller of the internet but when you have an organization such great magnitude as facebook that seems to be complying secretly with u.s. spy agencies and law enforcement agencies you are going to get a bad out there are no good big in that group there's only the. sky up to about four thirty am here in moscow that's the news for us out join us again in thirty minutes for the latest.

what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express interest or somehow want to be.

said many times that you know we got to be. advantages you know with moving the embassy to jerusalem there with the mission of jerusalem as our capital. he said that there would be some things that israel will not like either so this is why i think the other students should come with opening the minds to the to the negotiations.
