correspondents in sochi and belin. well he remarked on the situation regarding iran regarding the united states and its behavior towards the radian nuclear deal he was asked to comment on the situation he said that he has little doubt that the united states will apply colossal pressure on the european union in order to get their way with regards to the reunion deal to p. do it the european union is going to hold an extraordinary session with regards to what is happening in iran with regards to raney and threats to stop the implementation of the nuclear deal because of american threats american sanctions and the secretary of state the u.s. secretary of state might compel has canceled a planned trip to moscow in order to attend that session and as foreign minister
12:03 pm
sergey lavrov believes in order to apply again colossal pressure on the european union you notice this to spend a special mechanism that the european union has created to circumvent u.s. sanctions to allow the iranians to trade with their oil as often as dismayed when you will produce tomorrow or last might compare how the u.s. is going to deal with the crisis that was made by washington's unilateral decisions i hope tomorrow's talks will be frank iran has the right to partly suspend the implementation of the nuclear deal if other parties don't keep their commitments in shorts now that the united states is left the iranian nuclear deal and is trying to get the european union to suspend to suspend its implementation of the deal the remains have a right a legal right to also suspend their implementation of the deal in effect the deal is collapsing because of the united states sanctions because of how determined
12:04 pm
the united states is to torpedo. this deal and to get the arabians to do what they want nevertheless the united states is as i said adamant and believes that iran must be stopped that iranian behavior is the stabilizing iran is the major destabilizing in influence in the middle east and we aim to fix that our aim is not war our aim is a change in the behavior of the iranian leadership we hope the iranian people will get what they finally want what they did so richly deserve to be however foreign minister lavrov said that they plan to have an honest discussion face to face this question with. tomorrow and see how things out things will go from there. thank you for that report now peter we know that compared diverted away from russia and went to brussels instead to discuss the iranian nuclear crisis what more can you tell us about that well i can tell you it was certainly very unexpected nobody
12:05 pm
thought he was going to be turning up in brussels on monday morning he did i can tell you that i've spoken to some diplomatic sources of mine that are in brussels right now being quite close to some of the meetings i can tell you that as far as those senior figures taking part in the the e.u. foreign affairs council meeting that was taking place on monday they didn't know it was coming and in all honesty according to some of them they're not that keen that he has come all that was an extensive agenda to get through to the how to deal with libya ahead of the news that mr pompeo would be arriving we could hear from me as well as the german foreign minister right now as they were making their way in to the european foreign affairs council continue to fully support the nuclear deal with iran as full implementation it has been and continues to be for us a key element of nonproliferation an appreciation nobody had in the region so we'll continue to support it if it's. agree with other e.u. states the nuclear deal is necessary for our security and it's going to prevent
12:06 pm
iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. it does leave brussels and it leaves the 28 member states of the european union in a very peculiar position they absolutely condemned the united states for pulling out of this deal now we are starting to see some of those $28.00 member states starting to look towards tehran saying if you pull out of this whole heartedly well this isn't going to work well for anybody iran has agreed to vital compliance measures if they break that deal then there will be consequences in terms of how european powers react so we urge the iranians to think very long and hard before they break. the end of today nothing could be worse than iran leave in the agreement there are new sanctions to do from europe because iran has so far all respected the commitments we give has undertaken this commitment or not respected
12:07 pm
the question of do we consider it or bear a thought for those that travel with secretary of state pompei you know they haven't known whether being coming or going for the last 2 weeks just last week they were expected to head here with the secretary of state to lay in that was counseled at the last minute they ended up in baghdad this monday they were expecting to be going to moscow they've gone to brussels but of course mr pompei o on the rest of that press corps that follows him around will be heading on to sochi on tuesday for meetings with russian foreign minister sergei lavrov and well if i was a betting man i think iran might be pretty high up on their agenda independent journalists believe pump is bid to urge europeans to back out of the deal or prefer at birth. it seems like like football to the europeans and miss to compare was not really both of you vote for the come on get any oh she said it we have an agenda we've got to stick to it and we might find some time for mr today now what is the message
12:08 pm
of prop 8 that's the question because it is again asking to europeans to get out of the j c p your way of the. nuclear genie agreement ino knows the answer already the european have said no we don't want to know we think the iranians respect the commitments or could it be that. with the typical attitude of donald trump income's not with the biggest example but this time but with the big carrot we know that saudi arabia is behind the united states as well it's one of these 2 at least don't want to deal with a drop o. toll. prosecutors in sweden have reopened an investigation into sexual assault allegations against wiki leaks co-founder julian assange so he's authorities had dropped the case in 2017 but they now say they're thinking an extradition warrant against us and once he serves his current 15 week prison term
12:09 pm
in the u.k. barco reports. well these allegations date back to 2010 and the investigation into them was dropped in 2017 swedish prosecutors were unable to go ahead with the investigation while assad was essentially stuck inside london's ecuadorian embassy but when swedish prosecutors dropped the investigation they said that it could be reopened if the situation allowed so when a sondre was dragged out of london's ecuadorian embassy last month the woman had made the allegations against him said that she would like the case to be reopened and that's precisely what has happened stockholm has requested julian a songes extradition to sweden take a listen to what the prosecutor had to say at a press conference a little bit earlier on. new circumstances have brought about the need to revise or previous decision after reviewing the current state of diploma near investigation
12:10 pm
my assessment is that there are still grounds to suspect the mysterious songe committed rape now the statute of limitations on this case expires in august 2020 so there isn't much time for the swedish authorities to act of course a songe also has a u.s. extradition request hanging over his head at the moment so there is kind of a legal muddle in place here and a pity is that only the home secretary is able to decide which of these cases should take precedence and sort of potentially allow the more pressing swedish case to be prioritized and it looks now that it's going to be a political decision as to where a song potentially is extradited to fast technically he can be sent to sweden and the u.s. can then sort of update his extradition request and request that he be extradited
12:11 pm
over to the u.s. from sweden but. the u.k. would have to give sweden permission to extradite a songe to the u.s. as songes legal team would be able to challenge every one of those moves so we're looking once again down the barrel of a very lengthy legal battle with 3 different jurisdictions in place now as songe has always rejected all the allegations the swedish allegations against him he's always said that he sought refuge in london's ecuadorian embassy not because he was afraid of being questioned in sweden but because he was always concerned that the swedish case was simply a pretext for a more serious u.s. extradition request where he could face serious charges for his publishing activities and we keep leaks published the iraq war logs which there is no government sort of diplomatic and military files they would deeply embarrassing to
12:12 pm
washington says now that the tour video. collateral damage which shows appears to show u.s. soldiers killing iraqi civilians the news today now means that we have 3 different jurisdictions 3 different countries involved in this a songe legal saga he's wanted in washington he's wanted in stockholm and in the meantime he's in prison here in the u.k. serving out his 50 week sentence for skipping bail back in 2012 a lawyer for the swedish woman who reported being sexually assaulted by a song welcome the decision to reopen the case she said that signal no one was above the law and that the swedish legal system doesn't give the question commitment to anyone. we spoke to wiki leaks chief kristinn hrafnsson he believes sweden was pressured into pursuing this case. julian has always been ready and willing to cooperate with this way this investigation still of the years and i
12:13 pm
assume that he will welcome this opportunity to clear his name and. get this matter over and done with there are many of the normal t's in this highly regarded by politicized crosas with the change of julian's. world alight. the crown prosecution service in the u.k. was in the driver's seat in this case it seems according to the e-mails that were obtained sort of seal information requests everything that pertains to julian fellowes these days is politicized it is very hard to see that the opportunity to install a fair trial in sweden in the u.k. or in the united states especially because that is exactly what these are all changed to an almost extraditions those days to those trials for publishing the truth. or fact markets are taking a hit again in the midst of china u.s. trade blows beijing has swung back at the latest u.s.
12:14 pm
tariffs by imposing penalties on $60000000000.00 of american products and measures what they can already next month trade talks between washington and beijing and that last week without a compromise on friday the u.s. hike levies on $200000000000.00 worth of chinese imports from 10 to 25 percent and added it's also raising penalties on all remaining chinese products beijing rejects america's claims that it didn't stick to earlier trade commitments president trump had more that china will be hit if there's no trade deal. i say openly to president xi and all of my many friends in china the china would be hurt very badly if you don't make a deal because companies will be forced to leave china for other countries too expensive to buy in china you had a great deal almost completed and you backed out. international and independent china specialist and her long believes both countries are digging themselves then for a long trade war will be running out of terrorists very soon because
12:15 pm
a lot of states it's not exporting anything near china's exports but on the other hand they're all. carrot. territory. leave us equal in services including u.s. companies raiding in china. including even the possibility of selling some u.s. treasuries just the sparkle of the air. in the u.s. stock market so i think that we exclude some really kind of actions on both size or size on our position themselves for a longer game meanwhile there's a great deal of correct through them which because don't forget these are 2 the largest economies in the world and they all the the center of the global supply chain but now with a straight war all the way because. it's quite likely that all the benefits of a trade cut will disappear and it's going to hit the u.s. economy. as well as wall street it's being claimed the u.s.
12:16 pm
has developed a brand new secret weapon called a ninja bomb and details after the break. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be rich. but you'd like to be press which is what the 43 in the morning can't be good for. i'm interested always in the waters about how. things should. be have a situation that is very new and that's why. it's like a free labor for the route to when people were dying but in the morning and there
12:17 pm
was no and by go to school we're going to do so the morning it was through to read out to the world and the game. as a medic and the widespread simplicity is good code of people today. in many diseases because of this would you coolly broke up the. welcome back the pentagon assad to have developed a secret weapon a missile was spinning and blades nicknamed the ninja bomb it's designed to be more accurate than explosives and thus reduce civilian casualties killed often has the details. drone warfare has long been part of the us government's war on terror and it's gotten ugly on more than one occasion.
12:18 pm
killing people by these drones basically sitting on a screen and eliminating people. dehumanizing them. as if you know from some other planet not giving them a basic right of proving their innocence i mean it but. norms of justice on top of that it's all classified so leaking the methodology behind what human rights groups have called a method for extrajudicial executions can get you in a lot of trouble for daniel hale and n.s.a. officer and now suspected whistleblower that could mean up to 15 years in jail that echoes chelsea manning say she's just recently been released from jail for refusing
12:19 pm
to testify before a grand jury but she could return soon as she's already got another subpoena now to be fair u.s. leaders have long talked about their deep conviction over civilian deaths the architecture of the legal architecture around to the use of drone strikes or other committed strikes wasn't as precise as it should have been and there's no doubt that civilians were killed but shouldn't have but apparently it was u.s. president barack obama who ordered the creation of a new missile device that would increase the percentage and accuracy of these predator drone strikes and minimize civilian casualties it's apparently called the ninja bomb now it may be the pentagon's worst kept secret they have not officially confirmed it but so far several military officials have said that it's being used it's argued. that the new missile might enhance the image of the united states in the countries that are already subject to u.s. military drone strike operations unlike
12:20 pm
a regular missile it doesn't explode instead it deploys 6 blades that fanned out of its casing moments before impact blades are so sharp they can cut through vehicles and slice their target into pieces so we've got blades flinging through the air in order to reduce civilian casualties sounds plausible enough apparently the new ninja bomb has already been used in iraq libya syria somalia and yemen so is this new missile the answer will it improve the image of the drone strike program in the eyes of the american public what do you think of the drone strike program. ok with it i know nothing about it it's pretty awful actually we have this thing now called a bomb and what it is is it and when it detonates it sends blades through the air and the idea is this will minimize civilian casualties we can pick the terrorist we want to kill send the ninja bomb and fewer civilians will be killed you know that the blades kill the terrorists and not the civilians it doesn't seem like the you
12:21 pm
can target maybe specific people with that seems like you'll just. spread out a lot of. a lot of damage i think that's also did a pretty good program number limit civilian casualties you're going to do not that's not happening i think if somebody suggested that that. i had i don't think that is even real i don't think it really. room reduces actually so i think this is a. propaganda whatever you want to call it that way to make people look there's a kinder gentler way of killing one of this through the nation which. you want to do or if you are right the kind of person they're talking about. actually you know also and the notion of us as a nation whether precise or generalized is so totally unacceptable we've asked the pentagon for comment and we'll let you know when we get a reply. the french left wing leader mantra
12:22 pm
has denounced the anti russian and pro nato hysteria of the e.u. it comes after he was featured in a video game released by a man on the crown's youth movement as a russian insect are to charlotte do when skiing has been putting the game through its paces. as almost fight tooth and nail in the forthcoming european elections it seems that they've got a new weapon to utilize it's this video game now it's similar to one that we've known since the $1980.00 s. so it does feel a little bit retro and this is the main character here the idea is clear this is meant to represent natalie who is top of the list for all march in those elections and she is the heroine. so if natalie was who is the heroine of this game who are the baddies well it's pretty clear on the right it's
