6:02 pm
top diplomat made an unexpected visit to brussels for talks with the u. ministers auntie's peter all of us details. michael field very clearly today from from the us the most responsible attitude to take is and clearly should be and that of maximum maximum 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 me they're far
6:03 pm
from happy that my pompei o was in town on this day he wasn't supposed to be here he was supposed to be a moscow he did turn up and this is what represented the for foreign affairs have 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 determination on the european union side and also all that understates expressed that today very clearly on continuing 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 of 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.
6:04 pm
out of it it caused an awful lot of problems and it saw a lot of a you nations member states also brussels itself 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's 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 because 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 react so we urge the iranians to think very long and hard before they break.
6:05 pm
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 we give has undertaken this commitments are not respected the question of how do we consider it 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. meanwhile russia's foreign minister says that 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 so i get to meet with
6:06 pm
the secretary of state might compare this to stay in such a disastrous dismiss that i absolutely will produce tomorrow or we'll ask 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. to 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
6:07 pm
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 might bump tomorrow and see how things out things will go from there . at least analysts for selby believes that the venue can still be rescued. iran has given 60 days to europe to clean up its act and live up to its commitments and we are now starting to see a renewed effort on the part of europe to do exactly that and hopefully the meeting
6:08 pm
today. as a fresh reminder to the americans that the course of policy toward europe is failing and europe is determined to salvage the deal just as russia and china are so i'm cautiously optimistic about the lifespan of g c.p.o. and they're admitting of the other signatories we join forces and preserve that deal in the interest of regional and global peace and americans need to make a u.-turn on their own u.s. policy come back to the table negotiate with. prosecutors in sweden to reopen the investigation into sexual assault allegations against wiki leaks co-founder julian assange and are seeking an extradition warrant against him on sea served of course the 50 week prison term in the united kingdom has more. 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
6:09 pm
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. 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 suspend the mysterious songe committed rape now the statute of limitations on this case expires
6:10 pm
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 model 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 its 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 assange to the u.s. as songes legal team would be able to challenge every one of those moves said we're
6:11 pm
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 by the 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 wiki leaks published the iraq war logs which others neat government sort of diplomatic and military files they were deeply embarrassing to washington does now that notorious video. collateral damage which shows appears to show us soldiers killing iraqi civilians the news today now means that we have 3
6:12 pm
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 the lawyer for the swedish woman who was reported being sexually assaulted by a soldier 20 welcome the decision to reopen the case she said a signal that no one's above the law and that the swedish legal system gives no special treatment to anybody. you well we spoke to we could leave it to chief kristinn hrafnsson who believes that sweden was pressured into pursuing this case against a songe. julius ours 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 the name and. get this matter over and done with there are
6:13 pm
many of the normal to use in these highly regrettable crosas with the change of julian. worldwide ready. the crown prosecution service in the u.k. was in the driver's seat in this case it seems according to the e-mails the 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 install to a fair trial in sweden in the u.k. or in the united states especially because that is exactly what all pertains to and on would actually do soon as there is too close trial for publishing the truth. global stock markets are taking hits again in the midst of china u.s. trade blows beijing swung back at the latest u.s. tariffs by imposing penalties on $60000000000.00 worth of american products the measures will kick in next month trade talks between washington and beijing ended
6:14 pm
last week without a compromise on friday the u.s. hunt levees up on $200000000000.00 with the chinese imports lifting the rates from 10 to 25 percent while saying penalties will be raised on all remaining chinese products worth another $300000000000.00 u.s. dollars ageing rejects washington's claim that it failed to stick to its trade commitments china had already imposed on $10000000000.00 in tariffs on the us imports far less american products than the u.s. this chinese but it's now slapping levies on more than $5000.00 additional goods they range from coffee baith to big even t.v.'s president term says that 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 donald trump insists that america
6:15 pm
benefits from any trade war with china picking up the losses but even 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 yeah i don't disagree with that again but our size ball size will suffer on this. international and independent china specialist under long believes that both countries are digging themselves in for a long trade war but it will be running out of paris very soon because you love this that is it's not exporting anything near china's exports but on the other hand there are more. territory. leavers who in services including u.s. companies rating in china. including even the possibility of selling some u.s. treasuries just as the here. in the u.s.
6:16 pm
stock market so i think that we are exposed to some really kind of actions on both sides both sides and are position themselves for a longer game meanwhile there's a great deal of correct through 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 the strait war all the way because. it's quite likely all the benefits of a trade cut will disappear and it's going to hit the u.s. economy. as well as wall street. hunter's been accused of trying to influence its critics will explain after the break.
6:17 pm
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. more somehow i want to be that's. what's it like to be for us that's what i'm up for 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested falls in the waters of the august. 6th.
6:18 pm
dispute has broken out between france and saudi arabia after a saudi ship was that was chewed to load weapons at a northern french court was forced to set without them after rights group tried to block the cargo has a story. i must see international said that several european union states of actually failed to meet their obligations when it comes to the arms trade treaty and that's because they've sold weapons to saudi arabia live with them that will likely be used in the war in yemen the bar has been bouncing off european ports like a pinball this is a serious test of countries resolve to uphold their obligations under the arms trade treaty and e.u. common position on arms exports several states have food this test in the space of
6:19 pm
just a few days the concern is that these weapons that are being sold to saudi arabia could be used against civilians in the conflict in yemen this is a conflict that has been going on for several years since 201410000 people have been killed and millions have been left on the brink of starvation it's been described by the united nations as the world's worst humanitarian disaster in it saying that no e.u. state which suspects that this is happening or is aware that its weapons could be used in war crimes should sell any weapons at all to a country that doing that the voyage reminds us that it's preferred to allow lucrative global arms trade to continue to operate behind a veil of secrecy amnesty has said that in the last week one saudi ship has been making its way around several european states trying to pick up arms containers or
6:20 pm
weapons from those states now we know that last week that that ship actually talked in antwerp in belgium and we understand that it received a shipment of ammunition now it then try to fix it and fail to visit some other european states now we've heard from the belgian foreign minister who is ignored that there is concern about the sale of these weapons you know you would be good to see. deliveries to saudi arabia if it was shown they had been used on going conflict such as in yemen which case the regional government must make that decision. now here in france the french defense minister that's florence parley had actually confirmed last week that france was due to more weapons on to this saudi ship. arms delivery according to groom and to issue was made a few years ago he appealed it however it came a little bit unstuck with protests taking place outside the port of large that's
6:21 pm
because there was a leaked investigation in the last month a show which alleges that the french government has been made aware by secretive military notes that weapons sold by france society arabia could have been used on the front line in yemen and could have been used against civilians and that has caused huge concern here because of that those protests went to the port and that shipment wasn't able to take place the president might call has also spoken out about this last week he confirmed that he had had confirmation from riyadh that's the capital in saudi arabia that those shipment of arms wouldn't be used in the conflict in yemen but despite that many people here in france are unhappy and easy with the idea that france is selling weapons anyway to saudi arabia and the controversy continues as the sandy ship continues to go around european ports
6:22 pm
attempting to load weapons from several states and human rights organizations have just said that enough is enough and these on shipment sales how to stop now the 1st contest still gave us his views on the dispute down what it could mean for the arms trade with saudi arabia. it could be in greece so suppose is no just the obvious place that that we should could go. faster know that their arms waiting for it to pick up so. it's a question of discussing with the greek authorities if they have arms if they're willing to let the ship dock and take on the arms is activists raise the issue they had looked at the bill of lading of the ship and seen that they were picking up guards so that's created a storm which obviously these governments welcome to avoid and none of these governments really prevented arms going to saudi arabia or continue to send arms
6:23 pm
it's a question of whether there's enough political weight behind the protesters and the activists to put pressure on the governments to change their policy. french authorities are investigating a complaint from the country's lamond newspaper which claims the us space agro chemical charmin santo compiled a hit list of key people that it had to influence over pesticides because they want to do this something to bissonnette the. advocate who more fact we can do this. sort of beef with that of course. and to do being. well the french paper clothes that the so-called monsanto file dates back to 2016 and they contain some 200 names including journalists lawmakers and politicians who've been critical of the company's practices lamond alleges that the list was drawn up to sway the views of those against the use of glyphosate
6:24 pm
based purse the size now monsanto was bought by the german chemical john buyer last year the $63000000000.00 deal bar itself has apologized for the incident and suggested its likely the firm to the same across europe it's now open its own probe into the case hiring an outside team of lawyers to investigate the dean the low over from a green group future generations was one of those on the list she fears other information could possess. i don't feel official in. the darcy or contain information on our organization and its head we're concerned about that in may also has private information obtained by monsanto in any case it is known that these procedures are illegal there is no law that allows collection and storage of private data on people our organization will file a lawsuit to at least shed a light on whether they have any other unpublished the core of us monsanto's production is widely used all over the world many environmental activists voiced
6:25 pm
their concerns that demonstrations and protests around the globe monsanto's face criticism for its use of life to sate the chemical compound produced by the firm is found in the most popular weed killer in the states it's been traced. in the air and the drinking water it's been linked to cancer but. refutes all of the claims about dangers the dean love which as again believes that the use of such chemicals must come under much stricter controls. if you were also concerned about the fact that the list mentions private persons politicians journalists who are pressurized to support the company to secure its place in the market of compounds which by the way are considered to be carcinogenic in fact today the company has a quite negative image which is clearly the situation in france has become active specifically over the guy for say the shoe the national center for cancer disease research lifeless it is the man herbicide produced by monsanto which probably can
6:26 pm
be carcinogenic and seems then we've been watching a huge backlash from some farmers from the agriculture sector as a whole. ok you all what you ought to international pressure you company this evening go i am going to take a bit of a break come back tomorrow nicky ever to be here with all the lights for you though in half an hour. what is it calling the coin is magic internet a new type of digital currency the centralized digital scarcity chancellor i'm bringing a 2nd bailout for a bank that's called that got us a lot for a reason because being a civil disobedience a source of optimism because i can control my own financial destiny it's just a new way of coming to consensus it's a game changer in the human history of this columbus discovering the new world this
