the u.k. . the us china trade stock markets plummeting after beijing retaliates to the latest u.s. punitive tariffs by imposing penalties on $16000000000.00 worth of u.s. goods. and. european union has warned the u.s. secretary of state might pompei against escalating the situation over the iran nuclear deal crisis comes as america's top diplomat made in an expected visit to brussels to speak with the e.u. ministers. michael her deaths are very clearly today from from the us that most responsible attitude to take is illegal or should be and that of maximum maximum
3:02 pm
restraint avoiding any escalation on a military site well this was a meeting that was all set it was all planned there was supposed to be sitting down the e.u. foreign ministers as well as the high representative for foreign affairs federica mockery me she's essentially the use overarching equivalent of a foreign minister they were supposed to be sat down talking about libya they tried to do that as much as they could however might pompei o the u.s. secretary of state he decided he was going to be turning up. of course that has apparently put the cat amongst the pigeons if i listen to some of the people i've been talking to among the diplomats in brussels federica mockery they're far from happy that might pump aoe was in town on this day he wasn't supposed to be here he was supposed to be in moscow he did turn up and this is what represented the for foreign affairs had to say when it came to the iran deal they need to keep it alive
3:03 pm
we. still invite iran to comply with all its nuclear commitments and that is a full determination on the european union side and also all that understates expressed that today very clearly and continue to implementing it for all the nuclear deal with it and federica mockery and he said all of the parts of the iran deal just then because last week iran said that it would not continue to uphold all parts of the deal the 2015 deal that came on the anniversary of the united states saying that it would pull out wholeheartedly from the agreement now the u.s. decision to do that donald trump's decision to unilaterally pull the u.s. out of it it caused an awful lot of problems and it saw a lot of a u. nations member states also brussels that said. of condemning the united states for doing so now we've also started to see some of the 28 member states starting to to
3:04 pm
question iran well ideas when it comes to whether they should stay in it should the uranian government decide that they want to pull out wholeheartedly from the 2050 nuclear deal of it's we agree with other e.u. states the nuclear deal is necessary for us security and its goal is to prevent iran from obtaining nuclear weapons iran has agreed to vital compliance measures if they break that deal and 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 always respected the commitments it has undertaken this commitments are not respected the question of considerate this is the 2nd change of schedule it is many weeks for those that
3:05 pm
travel with mike pompei of the u.s. secretary of state that things that have been changed at the last minute just last week it was supposed to be coming here from helsinki to berlin they ended up going to baghdad this time around they're supposed to be going to moscow they end up in brussels they are heading off to russia for tuesday at a meeting with sergey lavrov the russian foreign minister and we can certainly expect iran to be pretty high on the agenda. and in just the last hour the u.s. president has warned iran to abstain from any ill judged steps as it could prove a big problem for the country meanwhile russia's foreign minister says he plans to confront his u.s. counterpart on how washington intern's to find a way out of the crisis sick created over the iran nuclear deal so they get to meet with the sect of state mine on this tuesday in sochi. so after those dismiss that i'm suing you will produce tomorrow or last mike compare how the u.s.
3:06 pm
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. 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 the united states is to torpedo this deal and to get the iranians 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
3:07 pm
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 notably however foreign minister lavrov said that they plan to have an honest discussion face to face this question with my pump air tomorrow and see how things out things will go from there . stuff. that iran does have options if the deal falls apart. if it fails and if it collapses then you know tell ron would go for in carrying costs on the west especially the us in various areas beginning with the nuclear capabilities that iran has also iran seems to have a very good and serious option for exercising strict check and inspection measures in the strait of or most before it shuts down the strait actually iran also has the
3:08 pm
option of ending its measures under such strict economic pressures its measures against the flow of the refugees and displaced people who are moving from the eastern borders to go to through iran to the western borders to get to europe iran is spending lots of money in order to stop this flow of refugees and displaced population and it could draw up peace efforts and allow them to move to europe then you would see at least 3 and a half 1000000 people yet so europe and that's a catastrophe for europe that's why the europeans should realize that they will pay the cost if this nuclear deal collapses and falls apart the. prosecutors in sweden of reopened an investigation into sexual assault allegations against wiki leaks co-founder joining us sounds swedish authorities had dropped the case in 2017 but now say the seeking an extradition warrant against the sounds once
3:09 pm
he serves his current 50 week prison term in the u.k. playbook has been. 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 a songe 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 songe 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 my new circumstances have brought about the need to revise
3:10 pm
their previous decision after reviewing the current state of diploma near investigation my assessment is that there are still grounds to suspend 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 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
3:11 pm
the u.s. can then sort of update it as extradition request and request that he be extradited 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 and 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 publish the iraq war logs which are there is no
3:12 pm
government sort of diplomatic and military files they were deeply embarrassing to washington does now that new tourist 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 lou for the swedish woman who ported to being sexually assaulted by julian souls who 2000 and. the decision to reopen the case she said it signaled that nobody was above the on the swedish legal system doesn't give special treatment to anyone. we spoke to said it's her in chief kristen and he believes that sweden was pressured into
3:13 pm
pursuing this case against the soldiers. julia stiles has always been ready and willing to cooperate with the swedish investigation throughout the years and i assume that he will welcome this opportunity to clear his name and. get this matter over and done with that are many of the normal ts in this highly recruited politicized crosas with the change of julian's. worldwide. the crown prosecution service new york a was in the driver's seat in this case it seems according to the e-mails that were obtained sort of so you information requests everything that pertains to julian as well as these this is a loser sized it is very hard to see that the opportunity to install or fair trial in sweden in the u.k. or in the united states especially because that is exactly what these are all ready pertains to and onward extraditions those days to host

a trial for publishing the truth. for stock markets are taking a hit again in the midst of china u.s. trade blows aging a swung back of the latest u.s. tariffs imposing penalties on $60000000000.00 worth of american products the measures will kick in next month trade talks if it washington raising ended last week without compromise on friday the u.s. hikes levies on $200000000000.00 worth of chinese imports raising from 10 to 25 percent are saying penalties will be raised on all remaining chinese products beijing rejects washington's plan that failed to stick to trade commitments president term had won china it will be hit further if it retaliates i say openly to president xi and all of my many friends in china that china will 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 independent china
3:15 pm
specialist under long believes that both countries are digging themselves in for a long trade war but it will be running out of terrorist very soon because a lot of states it's not exporting anything near china's exports but on the other hand there are more carrots. territory. lever's equaling services including u.s. companies raided in china. including even the possibility of selling some u.s. treasuries just a spark off the pier. in the us stock market so i think that we are exposed to some really kind of reactions on both sides both sides on our position themselves for a longer game meanwhile there's a great deal of correct to their marriage because don't forget these are 2 the largest economies in the world and they are the center of the global supply chain but now with a straight war although with
3:16 pm
a conscience it's quite likely that all the benefits of a trade cut will disappear and those for the u.s. economy. as well as wall street. but had to go on a set of developed a secret weapon it's a missile with blades nicknamed the ninja bomb is designed to be more accurate than explosives in theory reduce civilian casualties in drone strikes him open as the details. drone warfare has long been part of the u.s. government's a war on terror and it's gotten ugly on more than one occasion. if .
3:17 pm
drones basically sitting on a screen and eliminating people. dehumanizing them. as if you know from some other planet north 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 an n.s.a. officer and now suspected whistleblower that could mean up to 15 years in jail that echoes chelsea manning she's just recently been released from jail for refusing 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 texture around to the use of drone strikes or other
3:18 pm
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 in 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 a regular missile it doesn't explode instead it deploys 6 blades that fan 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
3:19 pm
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 ninja bomb right 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 that you 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 are 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 busy. room reduces actually so i think this is
3:20 pm
a. pretty sick propaganda whatever you want to call it that way to make people look there's a kinder gentler way of killing people want to. throw assassination which. you might declare if you are right kind of person they're talking about. this essentially you know possible and the notion of assassination whether precise or generalized is so totally unacceptable. we have asked the pentagon to comment on the reports will let you know if and when we get over apply. mass protests in albania which began earlier this year are continuing with the opposition keeping up the pressure on the current government to quit their positions been demanding an early parliamentary election for the current government shows no signs of giving in to the demands or started a small protest on sunday in response the rest of the democratic party official

3:22 pm
elections and she is the harrowing. 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 a marquee in the pen with the national rally and on the left it's usual nuke militia with france about this even a bit of donald trump thrown in there for good mics. no collusion no obstruction so the aim of the game is pretty simple no clue was trying to find the missing stars from the european flag and that's because they've been stolen by those baddies so let's find those stars. come on.
3:23 pm
earth it's. well the idea of using a video game to perhaps try and boost the youth vote isn't something new in fact it was done by francis back in 2017 election this is of course the 1st big test that much corn has been through since he was elected president back in 2017 so if he wants to avoid game over then perhaps we need to do more than produce a 2 d. game to fend off that mounting pressure from the left the right and the center and of course to raise those gloomy for eatings charlotte even ski r.t. paris. musicians from all over europe will down the red carpet of the original song contest as the opening ceremony officially got that event underway on sunday delegations of $42.00 countries will be taking part in the 29000 edition which takes place in israel but waves control of a sea of rose right from the very start of the event after the state owned
