i. hear it you know. you're going to be strong. for my look from. your corporate. america. it's may day in moscow the big news today a rather who says is partially suspending the twenty fifteen nuclear deal giving the other signatories sixty days to shield to run from the effects of u.s. sanctions or france is already chipped in on this this morning rejecting that old some might have been threatening iran with new financial penalties it's a complicated story we'll take you through it also coming up. tough for this it's immigration controls expelling around six hundred foreign nationals including two hundred islamic religious leaders whose visas have expired well critics fear it's

part of a broader crackdown on the muslim community in fact following the trustees on easter sunday we've got reaction. of individuals who orchestrated attacks within a very short. time which killed so many many doing this in the east are more sophisticated and they are suggesting. to do you with east terror attacks. and french telecom's orange is sued for moral harassment with prosecutors arguing the company created intolerable working conditions that led to thirty five employees. good afternoon just turned midday this wednesday the eighth of may here in moscow one is kevin owen here for thirty minutes world news update from r.t. international top story there is mention iran said it will no longer all of its commitments under the twenty fifty nuclear agreement runs also given the signatories two months to ensure that their upholding their side of the deal and

protecting the islamic republic from stinging u.s. sanctions. after sixty days iran will not comply with its commitments regarding your own human richmond and the iraqi nuclear reactor. and you're trying to cross this story today as more details are coming into reports the french reaction when touchin live again i come to think that we need to come on this big story where all the what does this leave europe as it stands at the moment because france has come about with a kind of a counter measure if you like oh yes well not for now but this could be in the making and as you were saying europe right now could find itself in a very difficult position in the major european powers that are in favor of the. otherwise known as the twenty fifth being iran's nuclear deal they could find themselves in the position of the biggest losers right now because on the one hand last year donald trump let them down by saying that everything you've been working hard on so much is rubbish scrap it now they're pretty much

receiving a punch from the other side from tehran which is saying that you're letting us down as well and they want to teach the lesson they want the e.u. to put pressure on america to make sure that they go back into the agreement and keep complying so no wonder the european powers are unhappy about it as you said the french defense minister has already spoken out on this. just today nothing could do worse than iran leave in the agreement so there are new sanctions today from you to the because iran has so far oh it's respected the commitments it has undertaken. and not just back to the question would you consider it. so the worst thing that could happen these are strong words and they explain it all europe france in particular they want the deal to remain alive however there's

another side to what powers is already saying that if turns away from its commitments sanctions for me europe could fall as well and this is how bad it can get going back to the sanctions you know that really can lead to the conflict spiraling out of control when these kind of measures are being taken hostile measures by different sides now if you look at the reaction from russia where he heard from russia's senator who is in charge of international relations at the federation council he believes that what we're seeing right now this is collation is the direct consequences of the steps taken by donald trump and it is rather obvious the world is bearing fruit from america leaving this agreement china has already spoken out as well of the chinese foreign ministries issued a statement saying that they still won all signatories to fulfill their commitments but there definitely not happy with the deal collapsing at this point and it looks

like this is what's happening right now and i guess you could say it's no surprise that this has been going on for a year since america pulled close is made of the night in america i'm sure we'll have some strong statements coming out of prison term for a bit later on but wise. decided to wait for a year to do this is it because they were they were desperate and why i don't have an answer for that question but definitely at some point they were supposed to do something because the status quo couldn't last forever and it still will take a while for them to switch to more serious measures but you've mentioned that ultimatum two months. later if nothing happens they will move on to something else but for now starting on wednesday according to the iranian president hassan rouhani iran would begin to bill. it's stockpiles of low enriched uranium and heavy water now those are the resources that are required for nuclear reactors for the

development of their nuclear program because parts of this was scrapped under the iran nuclear deal obviously and according to tehran if the europeans stale to compensate for the unilateral american sanctions if they fail to somehow convince them to reverse this process iran will resume the construction of a nuclear reactor known as our rock that's a facility that was shut down along with its key components under the deal it is believed that none of this will lead to the development of nuclear weapons right away it is a very long process but then it will reverse the process of denuclearization still which is potentially very dangerous but in recent weeks we understand that the u.s. is stake in an increasingly hostile stance towards iran issuing a number of threats to the islamic republic take a listen to what the secretary of state might compel said we have continued to see

every that leads us to believe that there's escalation that may be taking place and so we're taking all the appropriate actions both from a security perspective and well as. our ability to make sure that the present has a wide range of options of them of this of the should actually take place what we've been trying to do is to get iran to behave like a normal nation. it's not just threats taken cons concrete steps as well on tuesday washington announced that it will be deploying a naval strike group to the middle east and north or to counter the alleged threat from iran and they want to send a clear message to its leadership on the same day u.s. secretary of state mike compare who we just heard from visited iraq and there he's voicing concerns about what iran is doing to but again that's another message but given all the things that we heard from donald trump last year the fact that the

u.s. pulled out and now the very latest actions by the americans it's no wonder that hassan rouhani the uranium leader is saying that all of this is being provoked by america yet none of us knows they're ready for a minister. zarif is actually here in moscow today for talks anyway meeting his russian counterpart sergey lavrov this is going to be top of the list of what they going to say we think still to be clarified just a home if you're really interested in this story we think will be a media conference in the coming hours soon as it happens to be some statement coming up pretty strong i guess. let's make sure we listen to what you write here sort of how to say earlier. this is actually what he had to say earlier on these comments about it that came in overnight where he wanted to want to take his country to time but some leverage in here ok the united states wanted to hold out to the g.'s you know way in order to make iran withdraw from a deal the day after so the u.s. would be able to refer the case to the u.n.

security council to ease the burden on the shoulders of the u.s. to redouble and ratcheting up the pressure on iran iran did not fall into this trap . so this is what he's saying about washington's actions but washington will definitely have to say something when they wake up there on the other side of the atlantic all right well thanks spread across it no better chap thank you very much indeed for trying to so let's get some more thoughts off a guest on this program world affairs analyst orchestrion charlie thanks your time today how significant is this rain indecision and indeed as i was saying earlier on could we have seen it coming and it's been a year isn't it yet given i think they have been driven with their backs to the wall. completely frustrated you know the economic situation in iran has been in stark decline since these sanctions have been dream paused and you know the i think the trigger point was the fact that the very worst that had been given to china india. south korea and japan and kirky which were the major by years of the iranian

oil bourse meat was have also been removed now so all the full squeeze on effect as a really really. maximum you know stress on the iranian economy and the public is not very happy with things and therefore the government had to respond in somebody you know or proprietary gets involved of the situation and so i think this suspending some of their obligations under the nuclear deal years are kind of you know warning that it could get a lot of wars and we could possibly restart our you know much more advanced nuclear program ok that hard little i think the cards on the table who are going to blink who's going to play us are a speck a couple each other off as i say who's going to blink next here who's going to be the next people to put their cards on the table is america going to give some or is going to be europe trying to force america what's going to happen next. well you know even the europeans have been pretending that they want to say no they don't

you know probably from the u.s. especially because of the tensions in the transatlantic relationship see it's trying to make a power but it doesn't seem like you know people really can stand up to the u.s. because you see the french struck with them or you know that iran should be here to impose sanctions so you know that and europeans i mean trying to leave because they cannot skirt you know primary or secondary sanction of the u.s. and that's a problem they talk about a special purpose make little to continue pretty good iran but it looks like iran is not getting any of the benefits of the europeans and get forty dollars looking back at them sick if we have all of the nuclear being you but you must something you know this is given take ought to be trumpets pretty much you know she was little but at least we have hopes in you but not only europeans but also but even under american pressure so if you know that it i think to answer your question the european seem to be blinking and there need not really looked to be it will go just

you know rhetoric of humanity back to you know you wouldn't be able to be any different by letter on its own make its own decisions well if so then you better believe god because he did i mean have given you the time is ticking. so coming to the chase what are we looking at as you say is this deal dead out of water or things going to come back together again in simple terms here is going to be that easy that. i'm grappling cumin because i don't think this can be achieved because of the sanctions effort on iran are very serious and let the military pressure trump is applying to the military and you know the redeploying the aircraft carriers to the question girls are out for a team change unfortunately because of these little factor and the mistake being in the u.s. they are open to change they have already sanctioned the iranian revolutionary guard a terrorist organization you know so i think they are increasingly looking for regime change but we're seeing that they're already failing to do so in minutes you don't have the much stronger state and i think the basic problem one thing you wish

things we want to see iran as a normal country the problem iran is not a normal country iran either now or in the region it belongs to the middle east he should be given it space he should be included in the architecture for stability in the region still being excluded excommunicated like this so if you don't accept that you don't have the right to exist and to have some influence then you're going to get into this you know i'm traveling situation which means back to the u.s. as well as the europeans in the long run so i walked a better sense prevails but right now the way the domestic politics in the u.s. is going as well as the europeans weakness i don't see much chance of you know do c.p.u. is a loving very long sort of ten seconds for you go is this too much of a dangerous gamble on iran's part or is it a good thing that it's done it to try and push this forward we have always going to go are they taking too much of a risk there are not ten seconds. i think you know they have an option to the back of the wall of the need to take out some leverage would be going to be and

they're trying to get it but unfortunately the europeans are in a very very weak situation cannot help their doctors who don't show their world affairs analyst thank you for being live with us here r.t. international it's nice to see you. next story now in the wake of lanka's devastating easter sunday bombings the governments expelled around six hundred foreign nationals including two hundred muslim clerics found to have on the face of it overstayed their visas the country's home affairs minister says it comes as part of a broader push to tighten immigration controls now considering the current situation in the country we have reviewed the visa system and taken a decision to tighten visa restrictions for religious teaches of those who were sent out about two hundred were islamic preaches there are religious institutions which have been getting in foreign preachers for decades we have no issues with them but there are some which mushroom driessen really we will pay more attention to them. easter sunday is coordinated bomb attacks in sri lanka left over two hundred fifty dead eight explosions told through packed churches and luxury hotels

a state of emergency was imposed shortly after and security forces given sweeping powers to arrest suspects. that will sink in we heard a loud bang and we fainted and that's all i remember. i wish to express my heartfelt solidarity with the christian community affected one it was a prayer with all the victims of such cruel violence. or

something does the shops vehicles and homes own but members of the muslim community were attacked in the western coastal city of lagos. people were injured several arrests were subsequently made security has also been bolstered has drawn calm things delicate he would post this one can governments renewing calls for unity and is often compensation to people affected by this latest violence social commentator more uncertain politics expert raja kiska give us their thoughts only volatile situation still ongoing in that country right now. the claims were that twelve days before the the attacks the government was sent detailed warnings the intelligence service of sent detailed warnings they were told they were going to be attacking the church is that a. radical group interline care home grown natives. going to terrorize and attack people on easter morning she said i really didn't have much choice other than to expel six. hundred six hundred foreigners and two hundred islamic clerics to come and he's coming i think when you have a state of emergency that is

a direct result of you know coordinated terrorist attacks in forcing the law for those who've overstayed their visas a minimum you can do because that's the bottom line here we need to stop terror we need to stop radicalization if there are one hundred terrorists there expanding foreigners doesn't help seventy clamping down of foreigners in list is not the winter blues that that make up the face is actually a disproportionate action and is specifically targeting the cities not the kind of innocent that did the attack on this knee jerk reaction i think is minimizing a very coordinated attack done by radical muslims now had this done been done by a christian for example i would be the first condemning them so i think that moderate muslims shouldn't have to fear what's happening you know if you are involved in a story hatred in planning terrorist attacks and anything of that nature then you should be concerned you should be expelled and then again if this is an issue of a government simply expelling people who have overstayed their visa then i don't

see this is a kneejerk reaction they're just executing their laws. i'm sure out of the six hundred people not all of them or muslim who are expelled i think this is this is a tactic whenever anyone speaks up against rising islam that there are labeled as islamic phobic and i do believe in religious freedom i think religious freedom is a resident lebanese it's good for modernizing everyone's if it's not just some fake why haven't the sri lankans been behaving why did they allow these things to go ahead these are a big questions unanswered that is not remove the face files exclude six hundred foreign as and two hundred islamic clerics they would never the problem this is about a proportionate response all your years i barely see her expelling six hundred million for little or nothing because there are ways of the american action to three hundred fifty dead five hundred injured this isn't just about one or two homegrown islamic terrorists this is about a chain of individuals who orchestrated a attacks with a. very short. men are going to be doing this in the east are more sophisticated

they're suggesting have overstayed visas got to do with easter terror attacks when it was i sure lanka native homegrown who himself was radicalizing people well if you have two hundred if you have two hundred clerics overstaying their welcome then being homegrown might mean that they were in one of those mosques was one of those two hundred clerics we don't know that. approach to it comes to an orange and several current and former top bosses currently standing trial in paris they're accused of moral harassment and of creating a work environment which prosecutors say led to dozens of employees suicides over ten years ago takes a closer look at the case. a decade a wave of suicide rates helped lift the late what was happening in one of france's biggest telephone companies now known as the global telecoms giant orange x. employees claimed they were subjected to moral and psychological harassment all in a bid to make leave the company that was undergoing major restructuring. we will

ensure that this trial is not only an opportunity to convict for institutional moral harassment which will lead to compensation for the moral prejudice of the victims but we will also fight to have the question asked again about the violence that was perpetrated not on dozens but on thousands and thousands of employees at that time and france telecom. that climate you described by some as being a brutal is said to have pushed thirty five workers to take their own lives between two thousand and eight and two thousand and nine one a thirty two year old woman threw herself from her office window at the paris another a fifty seven year old set himself alight in a company car park twelve more attempted to take their own lives including ten year . i have been in the state of survival for more than ten years especially after my

desperate gesture on april twenty six to eleven on the constant on the same day as my colleague from board who set himself on fire. a long way to their day in court has finally come and senior executives past and present and now facing charges may be related to more of harassment organized at the company's leadership level while the company doesn't don't know why the suffering of employees does deny having implemented a policy designed to destabilize teens charges if proven could result in a year in prison and a fine of fifteen thousand euros a point that is anger at victims and their loved ones were very regret that the term manslaughter has not been used in view of the damage suffered by the victims what they have experienced and also in view of the low penalties incurred there is also concerns that this trial could open old wounds. and what do we expect from

this trial to try and understand why why they push people over the edge and it mustn't happen again somewhere else we can't accept that policeman a doctor a farmer kills himself because of a job and people need to understand that human beings are more important than money today orange points out that internal surveys show that eighty eight percent of employees say they are proud to work the company that compares to only thirty eight percent back in two thousand and ten but for many a former employees the dog days are not yet. arty paris. authorities in the city of philadelphia are investigating an event at islamic centers called alarm the local community of the video was posted online showing a group of muslim children talking about using extreme violence to liberate palestine . and as well as jews from the x. a mosque we heard holiest site in islam. really.

honestly. a little earlier when all the muslim about the money. that they had seen the islamic center in question was strongly condemned the incident further it says the children were part of a program that was being run by a local school and was followed the person in charge unfortunately the video from the school was uploaded to the chapters facebook page without verifying the content of the video for appropriateness and making sure it conforms to our hate free policy and values muslim american society is committed to condemning hate speech everywhere despite the mosques response the footage has been described by a leading american jewish organizations extremely disturbing political commentator anthony bryan logan told us the u.s. government has been looking reclusive at this kind of thing. well at case they actually come in over here in the u.s. when i first saw the video i thought it was somewhere in a middle east i think maybe afghanistan or iraq or somewhere like they may be and i

says stronghold i was surprised to learn that it was in philadelphia pennsylvania freedom of speech is limits and this particular case it's our current acts of terrorism and they are really being indoctrinated by their dose apparently because i dealt with small children i came up with this on them so they are probably so the elders in a particular place and or their parents about this well the government should look at things like this is pretty clear that this could be you know some extremism hidden away from the public and there are many people who they get investigated you get a kind of identity group stay of different races for the privilege of different cultures in the u.s. they kind of have a watchful eye of the federal government just to make sure they don't go too far and commit an act of terrorism. american schoolchildren apparently falling victim to the polarization of u.s. politics it's been reported in the curriculum is in so-called swing states is being repeatedly rewritten by the one who's in power caleb maupin explains will. until

recently the election of state school boards to set academic standards was not even run on party lines people didn't view them as politicians but simply a strong scenarios carrying out the task of how we educate our kids however like so many other things now it is deeply political here's the number one disagreement what system of government does the united states have now according to the democrats the usa is a democracy and according to the republicans the usa is you guessed it a republic however some say that there could be common ground between the two terms the debate really isn't about whether a republic or a democracy but understanding that we can people in michigan the republicans did not like the social studies curriculum it is biased in a very left leaning way and i find that prop. magic so they made a few changes first of all they reduced references to the ku klux klan and the national association for the advancement of colored people they reduced gay and

lesbian content and they cut out climate change completely so the democrats tried to slip in a few changes of their own and that draft got the republicans fired up when i look at the things changed between drafts after hundreds of hours of debate it's mind numbing it's not just happening in michigan the standards set by texas and california are the two biggest us states are the most influential when it comes to the printing of us school textbooks and both states are getting pretty partisan when it comes to u.s. history and social studies in texas they have cut hillary clinton completely out of history and in california a mural depicting george washington the first us president was also a slave owner has been taken down so parents it seems are voting for which historical narrative they want their kids to learn in school when they picked the school board at this point in california the debate has gotten so heated that an empathy tent has been set up near the debating site there are some folks who have

lots of opinions and these seem to be making some noises about it we find that listening is better than shouting back in one nine hundred seventy four west virginia residents who thought that the school textbooks were offensive to evangelical christians got rather fired up there were bombings and shootings coal miners went out on strike for most americans social studies classes a distant childhood memory not a burning political controversy however in twenty nineteen it seems like everything is getting political including the classroom it's hit the whole over the country because every school district and school board that's democratically elected and they go back and forth if you or if it's really conservative community or really liberal community then it's fairly stable but it doesn't really reflect what the other you know the minority groups you know that can deliver. school boards not manage a national curriculum like you have in say so we nor france or germany or england

it means that a kid growing up in texas learns different things and reads different books in literature classes than a kid growing up in california or new york the publishing industry are concerned about only two states when it's texas and the which is fairly conservative and one is california which is fairly liberal if the textbooks too conservative california school districts won't buy them we have a fairly diversified educated population it's pretty stupid to have all your kids in the country basically getting a partial education when it comes to history and literature. on you in breaking news to tell you about the taliban claimed responsibility for a large car bomb blast out of the afghan capital wednesday fifteen reportedly injured in that attack which his authority is in kabul of said was targeting a u.s. funded ngo sporadic gunfire was also reported in the area to that instant comes as talks continue between the taliban and the us of a droll of american troops that is so long drawn out that the group's branch in pakistan has also claimed responsibility for explosion in the city of lahore wednesday morning is what we

talked about earlier which is now believed to have killed nine people so as to say the news in there is that the taliban have claimed responsibility for last. this is not international thanks being with us the news continues in just about half an hour's time and also over at home. with gold make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round lives only the one percent. we can. all middle of the room sick. room i mean real news.

you know world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know lawyer i mean you put video and put him in the new bill is that i do believe it or .
