meanwhile the e.u. has warned us secretary of state pompei are against as collating the situation over iran comes as america's top diplomat made an unexpected visit to brussels for talks with the u. ministers auntie's peeta oliver explains. michael deaths are very clearly today from from the us but most responsible attitude to take is clearly should be and that of maximum maxon and 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 oh the u.s. secretary of state he decided he was going to be turning up. of course that has
4:03 pm
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 my poem peo 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 we. still invite iran to comply with all its nuclear commitments and that is a full that every nation 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
4:04 pm
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 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 it's gong to prevent iran from obtaining nuclear weapons iran has agreed to vital compliance measures if they break that deal then there will be consequences in terms of how european powers
4:05 pm
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 today from europe because iran has so far all respected the commitments it has undertaken is this commitments are not respected the question of considerate this is the 2nd change of schedule it is many weeks for those that 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 in marcia's foreign minister says that
4:06 pm
he plans to confront his u.s. counterpart on how washington intends to find a way out of the crisis it created over the iran nuclear deal sergey lavrov ascent to meet so. this tuesday in sochi. so after those dismiss that i'm suing you will produce tomorrow or last mike 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. 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
4:07 pm
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 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 . politically on the side mustapha notes 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
4:08 pm
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 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 get so your all 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.
4:09 pm
prosecutors in sweden have reopened an investigation into sexual assault allegations against wiki leaks founder julian assange and swedish authorities have dropped that case in $2017.00 and now they say they're seeking an extradition warrant against the sons once he served his current $51.00 prison term in the u.k. with more details is out he's probably boy. 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 that had made the allegations against him said that she would like the case to be
4:10 pm
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 their previous decision after reviewing the current state of diploma near investigation 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
4:11 pm
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 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 said we're looking once again down the barrel of a very lengthy legal battle with 3 different jurisdictions in place now a 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
4:12 pm
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 government sort of diplomatic and military files they were deeply embarrassing to washington there's now that notorious 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 lulu for the swedish woman who reported being sexually assaulted in the psalms in 2010
4:13 pm
well good the decision to reopen the case saying that this signal is no one was above the law swedish legal system doesn't give special treatment to anybody. well we spoke to weaken editor in chief kristen robson who believes that sweden was pressured to pursuing this case against the sons. 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 is name and. get this matter over and done with there are many of the normal t. s. in these highly politicized crosas with the change of julian's. worldwide. 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 routines that also you information requests everything that pertains to julian as well as these this is politicized it is very hard to see that the opportunity to
4:14 pm
install a fair trial in sweden in the u.k. or in the united states especially because that is exactly what these are all ready changed to an on would actually do since those days to his trial for publishing the truth. global stock markets are taking a hit again in the midst of china u.s. trade blows beijing has swung back at the latest u.s. tariffs by imposing penalties on $60000000000.00 worth of american products the masses will kick in next month trade talks between washington and beijing ended last week without a compromise on friday the u.s. hikes levies on $200000000000.00 for the chinese imports from 10 to 25 percent or same penalties will be raised on all remaining chinese products worth another $300000000000.00 u.s. dollars beijing rejects washington's climate failed to stick to trade commitments
4:15 pm
and china had already imposed $110000000000.00 in tariffs on the us imports far less american products than the u.s. to chinese but it is now stopping there is no more than $5000.00 additional goods range of coffee beef and beer to t.v.'s president tom says the beijing should reach a trade agreement with the white house. i say openly to president xi and all of my many friends in china the 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 trumpets that america benefits from a trade war with china picking up the losses but his chief economic advisor appears to disagree doesn't and says china doesn't that china it pays the terrace they may suffer consequences but it's us businesses and us consumers who pay correct and yes to some extent and you know i don't disagree with that again but our size both
4:16 pm
sides will suffer and there's. you know all economics professor steve king says that the world suffers from a trade war between washington and beijing. destruction for manufacturing supply change fundamentally the china itself has been diversifying away from america in terms of its source of its. its export market that will now be going much into other draws what people forget in this whole thing is they think you know if you you flood the market who's going to buy the answer is you know destroy its federal reserve which has. a monopoly issuer of u.s. dollars what's being ignored in those arguments about closing up an economic process by dumping the bones is that it's not a market like if you dump all the oil on the planet will dump all the source the sold them you drive the process down we have a monopoly producer of draw u.s. dollars you can buy everything china has to put on the market what would be going on is in the goetia of the chinese i'm a lock feature of course be putting forward
4:17 pm
a slightly more preferential position for themselves than the would have been the initial position for the united states that would be taken as breaking the agreement from donald trump's interpretation but as you or any of you have said you have a dealt with the chinese to go shares in general the word yes comenius i've heard you're not yes i agree. but tony said to have developed a secret weapon a missile with blades nicknamed the ninja bomb is designed to be more accurate than explosives and thus we do civilian casualties in drone strikes kill of open explains. drone warfare has long been part of the u.s. government's war on terror and it's gotten ugly on more than one occasion.
4:18 pm
killing people by these drones basically sitting on a screen and eliminating people. dehumanizing them treating them. as if you know from some other planet not giving them a basic right of proving their innocence i mean it it violates one 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 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
4:19 pm
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 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 and 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 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
4:20 pm
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 so in 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 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 you're going to do not that's not happening i think if somebody suggested that that. i had i don't think
4:21 pm
that is even real i don't think it really busy. 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 kind of person you're talking about. actually you know also and the notion knows that as a nation whether precise or generalized is so totally unacceptable. and we have asked the pentagon for comment on the reports we'll let you know if we get a reply. must protests in albania which began earlier in the year are continuing with the opposition keeping up pressure on the current government quit their positions been demanding an early parliamentary
4:22 pm
election although the current government shows no sign of giving in to those demands or solders a small protest on sunday in response of the arrest of a democratic party official rapidly grew into a national demonstration the socialist government's been accused of corruption and links to organized crime claims it completely denies. the french left wing leader sean to commercial has denounced the russian and probe nato hysteria of the e.u. and this comes after he was featured in a video game released by emanuel micron's youth movement depicted as a russian insect 20 sure. but the game through its paces as all martial 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 s. so it does feel a little bit retro and this is the main character here the idea is clear this is
4:23 pm
meant to represent natalie lou as so who is top of the list for on march in those 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 mix. no collusion no obstruction so the aim of the game is pretty simple no clearly was trying to find the missing stars from the european flag and that's because they've
4:24 pm
been stolen by those baddies so let's find those stars. come on. you know her. 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 france 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 you 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 walk down the red carpet of the innovation song contest as the opening ceremony officially gotten underway that event on sunday delegations from 40 countries will take part in the $29.00 team competition
