i'm sure. this hour's headlines stories are a. group production of low enriched uranium tensions with the u.s. . deal. in the caribbean nation of haiti where the government's being accused. in the capital. switch to get rich the u.s. tries to tempt countries with cash if they buy its weapons instead of hardware from russia or china.

coming from our international. company i mean in our top story in a move that will test the limits of the faltering 2015 nuclear deal iran it is pulling its production of low enriched uranium the decision comes in response to the united states decision to pull out of the long mark over a year ago. which i not concentrate only on the come richness of iran to have to achieve the ability for so if you don't especially remove all the of sanctions on just sunshines this is a college no soft on the whole to. be able to do something the other boys. do have to reach for mood stronger actions as comes against the backdrop of

increased tensions between the united states and iran and also the continuing unraveling of the nuclear deal that was signed back in 2015 if iran wants to fight that will be the official end of the iran never threaten the united states again. iranians have students all for millenia while aggressors all gone economic terrorism and genocidal taunts won't and that's why those days of increased tensions that was sparked by the american administration sending bombers and an aircraft carrier to the persian gulf now they did this because of what they see for threats from the brain inside it comes as the israeli and president says he is open to holding crisis talks with international partners but that iran will not respond to any kind of threats any kind of hostility and any kind of attempts at coersion why we welcome to go see a shrink could we do not negotiate with a party that behaves like a bully and takes a knife out of his pocket and forces us on talks we do not hold such negotiations

with anybody the american position has been clear for quite some time the leaders of iran are record here's the world's largest financier of international terrorism behind every problem is around and what we've been trying to do is to get the run to behave like a normal nation the united states has been applying a maximum pressure campaign against iran ever since the nuclear deal began to collapse last year and at the same time it's been imposing crippling sanctions earlier this month he ran did warn that it would begin enriching uranium to high levels if the remaining 6. the trees did not manage to say it all in some kind of way protected against the american measures now the europeans have been trying to do this but it's far from clear whether or not they'll succeed washington claims that he ran is looking to develop nuclear weapons and this is a claim that iran has consistently denied at the same time the nuclear watchdog the international atomic energy agency has never found iran in contravention of any

kind of stipulations in the deal what we've seen happen is an increase on the iranian side in production by some 3.67 percent of enrich uranium a spokesperson for the iranian nuclear agency has said that this does not mean that iran will increase the number of centrifuges in use which is one of the stipulations in the nuclear deal but however we could see that within weeks iran will reach that 300 kilogram limit and this is a stipulation in the deal so ultimately what could happen is that iran could soon go beyond the stockpile limitations which are specified in the nuclear deal now publicly both iran and the united states say that they don't want to go with go to war with the other side but the the big concern is that any kind of miscalculation at this particularly carious time could see the whole situation going out of control lee american presidency is he's ready to negotiate with to run but only one

quote are ready also once again warn to run against making what he called provocative actions or threats. we have no indication that. anything has happened or will happen but if it does it will be met obviously with great force well that. will see what happens if they call it certainly big but that's going to be up to them why don't we want them to call if they're ready we already know pre-crisis situation right now and a lot depends on the political will and the determination of the europeans to join russia and china are you had are signatories to the party you know or did to preempt use what i'm getting into a full blown crisis is a very critical situation and we are at the crossroads basically of peace and war you've got iraq president in the white house and surrounded by ideas all bear hugs

that thirst for another war we did ron and you know. saudi arabia and israel are iran's right right walls that many instigate false planted accident and saw 14 order to lure mr trump to war with iran despite is the stated intention of limiting him safe to economic warfare which is really as bad as war itself. right let's turn attention to the carnaby and country of haiti where the government is being suspected of links to a must occur in the capital last november dozens of people including children were tortured and killed haiti's biggest ally the us has so far been silent on the accusations violent antigovernment protests have been raging in the capital for weeks.

the situation in haiti is escalating a population that is largely unemployed without electricity and without money once the president out. there today the country has reached an end the population can no longer accept the situation. where no one is out at night now there is reduced night life know all the streets and dark you just don't know what are you going to run into you just can't go anywhere now in addition to their other grievances the protesters have a link to the government one of the worst massacres in the recent history of the country.

they were shooting and i was running to save my life it was a terrible massacre that. they were dashed in police uniforms with masks on their faces that they snatched people and killed them while the united nations has launched an investigation now in march of 104 members of the u.s. congress signed a letter to the u.s. secretary of state calling for an independent investigation as of yet there has been no answer. to support thorough and independent investigations into both the corruption allegations that sparked the current crisis and the human rights violations including extra judicial killings that have reportedly. taken place but the trump administration seems confident in the aligned regime we have always

underscored in there are statements as well as our diplomatic conversations our belief in the g.t.c. of heat is institutions and its elected officials so far there has been no comment from the u.s. state department on the massacre while washington routinely condemns governments around the world for allegedly violating human rights when it comes to haiti the white house is unusually silent the u.s. has relied on a policy of gang violence and guatemala and el salvador and honduras in haiti and numerous other countries so this keeps the people in sheer. desperation and they can rule from their washington d.c. by having these gangs in the paino. do the work that the u.s. demands the example of ministry will do nothing of haiti alerts the public regime is. and will. be

demonstrated in haiti that does not affect the u.s. footprint in haiti so president about it. britain's defense ministry is facing a backlash over claims it's instigated a policy that allows for intelligence sharing with international partners even when there's a risk it will lead to torture u.k. government rules state that its personnel should not participate in condone solicit or encourage torture and other forms of degrading treatment or punishment well documents obtained through a freedom of information request show however that last year the drew up a provision allowing ministers to override those home office guidelines the code. all provision say is that even if there is a risk of torture ministers can push ahead with intelligence sharing should they

consider it beneficial to the u.k. it also sees they must be ready to accept the legal implications of their decision . where there remains a serious risk of torture a minister should be consulted for the presumption would be that we will not proceed unless ministers agree that the potential benefits justify accepting the risk and the legal consequences that may follow. in the wake of the revelations the newly appointed defense secretary has pledged to review the defense ministries guidelines on intelligence sharing and torture pennie mordant insists though that the u.k. has not broken any laws. these laws and norms are there not just to protect the enemy they also protect our own policy and activities in this area in accordance with both domestic and international law we cannot overrule the law nor can ministers be advised to. the law or disregard the law they have no intention of cutting off those intelligence sharing agreement

they'll just come out again with some more mealy mouthed language about not condoning or not encouraging it plainly illegal in terms of international law the united nations convention against torture program for talks of complicity and torture and by continually and pretty well on a daily basis. taining intelligence from the top 2 chambers of countries like saudi arabia. herb united kingdom is plainly complicit the united kingdom no longer. illegally in international law united kingdom has become a state. moving on the u.s. state department is planning to offer more money to countries who are willing to switch from russian to american made arms it's an expansion of the existing program . through.

the folks in charge of sales for the us military industrial complex take an internship somewhere that sells these free samples work just as fine in the international big guns business look what america does. as it turns out if it gets assurances from european countries that they'll ditch and stop buying weapons made in russia or china free samples won't take long to arrive there's an entire government program under which these countries will get or already have just under $200000000.00 worth of hardware the idea being we can put in some u.s. grant military assistance they would then put in some amount of partner military funding of course the free batch should be followed up by proper contracts plus

there's going to be maintenance upgrades and so on nice $1.00 0 let's face it try before you buy is worked for everything from clothes to us medics and the program is being expanded to other continents. appreciating customer loyalty is key remember when the killing of a saudi journalist in turkey could have led to international boycotts against the biggest buyer of uncle sam's toys back then the american president was quick to set things straight is the best equipment in the world but if they don't buy it from us they're going to buy it from russia or they're going to buy it from china or they're going to buy it from other countries so the saudi contracts should stay the way they are safe and sound. nato member turkey one's got too carried away trading with russia or so says the

american government and thought it was a good idea to buy russian missile defense systems you will regret that came the message from d.c. we've. clearly warns turkey. that its potential acquisition. of the 100 will result in a reassessment of turkey's participation in the f. $35.00 program. and risk other. potential future arms transfers to turkey as well as lead to potential sanctions that someone say fair competition you know if you want to be rich thinking about fair is really something you can ditch. there's a united nations treaty that aims to make sure the global bad guys don't get their hands on conventional weapons and hardware even if they can't afford it it's called

a.t.t. barack obama signed it a few years ago donald trump though did it his way and said this in april my administration will never ratified the. treaty and i am officially announcing today that the united states will be revoking. the effect of america's signature from this badly misguided treatment when taking our signature back a champion gun seller just once to make sure nothing can stop them from adding new names on the buyer's list even if there are perhaps a few issues with the reputation ok still ahead on the program including cun children we raise them of the diet doctors in belgium don't think so but bring you up to speed on plenty more opinion as well after this.

join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the multiple different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to suppressing. or not if you think. i'm going to talk about football not for you or else you can think i was going to do.

by the way what is it that flying here. i want to start by speaking about a region we don't see much in the news media run 5000 islamic state fighters are positioned along afghanistan's remote border region with central asian republics the head of russia's federal security service say yes the terrorists are consolidating their forces and seeking new ways to launch attacks. possibly this book which we're specially concerned over terrorist groups transfer to northern afghan provinces that border with c.i.s. countries one of the our is branches has already deployed around 5000 polluters there c.i.s. citizens who have fought in syria account for

a great part of these militants afghanistan is far from the only hot spot on the islamic terrorism he for instance according to the information in possession of the f.s.b. such regions as the north africa and asia have become places where islamic terrorists have been steadily gaining a foothold and now the following piece of information revealed by border nic of makes things even more concerning apparently terrorists have developed and obtained all means necessary to produce chemical weapons and to carry out chemical attacks. we have obtained reliable data providing that bandit's testing new means and methods of conducting subversive activities criminals have materials to knowledge is an infrastructure for creating chemical weapons and biotoxins the use of unmanned aircraft in order to deliver projectiles. terrorism to footies they're not limited to the well physical war if i may say so for instance according to board

think of islamic state has been bolstering its so-called cyber departments they have been expanding their ability to bring down these cyber infrastructure of official bodies and apparently even governments now especially with islamic state doom's well holding no ground they have moved their operations to the dark corners of the internet they have been spreading propaganda and misinformation even more actively than before according to the f. is be in a bit of course to gain new followers new sympathizers new recruits with world potential to turn them late into active terrorist cells. ok a lot of debate about this next story a group of leading doctors in belgium are warning parents against raising their children on diets even suggesting they should face prosecution for depriving them of essential nutrients the assessment comes from the country's royal academy of

medicine which has dubbed the dietary choices on ethical. it is not medically recommended and even forbidden to subject a child especially during periods of rapid growth to a potentially destabilizing diet requiring frequent supplementation and control these concerts nutrition is similar to a form of treatment that is no ethical to impose on children you can die it excludes all forms of the mall based products including eggs and dairy and according to the study around 3 percent of belgian children stick to this lifestyle vegans insists their diet has a number of benefits including increased energy levels as well as lowering blood sugar cholesterol levels going done well but belgium's royal academy of medicine say most parents are not able to provide on going medical supervision for their children which they say this restrictive diet regime requires an increased

number of health complications among children prompted the report back in 2017 indeed a belgian couple received a suspended 6 month sentence then after their 7 month old baby died of malnutrition doctors blame the parents choice to only feed the child vegetable based milk and the whole issue of vegan diets for children has social media all fired up. kiss my vegan belgium my kid's been vegan since conception on his perfectly healthy child abuse being innocent should be a choice left to mature humans meanwhile here in backwards belgium what's next a bunch of not adopters sterilise as young children need milk butter and some meat along with vegetables as an adult you are free to make a choice but don't feed the going to young children it's criminal or should be some of the many many views on this out there so is it right or wrong to patrol along if we can dive we pub that question to our guest. i don't think it's necessary to

penalize it's necessary to go to give a good at fives and to take into account the preferences of the parents the more restrictions you used the more. risk there is of deficiency if you're over the age of 16 or 18 depending on the country you're living in you can make whatever decision you want i personally to a low carb high fat diet but i know i shouldn't let my children do that because they need the carbohydrates to grow no parent has a right to abuse their child or no parent has a right to put their child in danger and this is clearly put in them in danger there are certain zicherman now you cannot get on a vegan diet parents don't make their children we can isn't is a protected ethical orientation at the level of human rights and all parents who live their lives according to deep convictions have the right to raise their

children according to those moral convictions if children are suffering neglect then this ought to be dealt with very precisely as child neglect regardless of the ethical orientation of the parent vitamin b 12 without dirt need supply mentation because it's not present in an active form in any. plant based nutritional source be careful about fighting the twelth also in the mother if she has if you can for a long time it's possible that she doesn't present symptoms of vitamin b 12 deficiency or while breast milk may not contain sufficient fighting in b. 12 for the little child there are lots of belief communities that feed their children even a vegetarian diet the jains. the buddhists they they are

vegetarian and feet get so i really don't understand why the men the medical profession is targeting the piquant community on a strict being and not vegetarian the strict vegan diet you do not get the vision they take these are certain brands you cannot get servicemen's in particular b 12 so denying your children that kind of meat and dairy i think it needs a full of child abuse i don't really want government to get involved in family life but if we can't you courage them as the belgian certainly then the state does have a responsibility when it comes to child abuse and that's what i think it is. ok just before we go this news are all and bring you to italy where tension flared between police and anti fascist activists in the city of belonging on monday the anger stemmed from a visit by the leader of the far right new force party you had of this week's fast

approaching european parliament elections. ah. ah. riot police attempted to contain protesters who tried to break through a police cordon the party's leader who has identified as a fascist in pa statements is seeking reelection to the european parliament and the vote doubts it's off all. right for quite literally up to the minute updates all the big developments of the day to check out our t. on twitter i promise you a lot be bored and i'll see you shortly. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on foundation let it be an arms race is on very dramatic developments only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. this footage is unique because the zoe tribal lands are normally off limits to the public eric's allowed in because he's this is his personal doctor. people here know him simply is dr eric he's rich famous some always on the move saving yachts and flying aircraft that. he's considered one of the best neurosurgeons in brazil.

that's happening. nothing's going to get the population going to people. this is a boom bust broadcasting around the world and covering the world of business and finance and the impact upon us all i'm daniel britto in washington we're glad you're on board we've got a special show for you to today today we're all about the block chain and we're bringing you cutting edge insights from the biggest names in the block chain set.

to take things off like to welcome our own brands or bore our own brand to bore who joins us in studio and chris christie who joins us from los angeles today tons of content straight ahead so let's just get to it right now now the ever changing landscape cryptocurrency has raised a lot of questions a lot of questions about the knowledge not least of which is regulation of the of the crypto currency space while bitcoin the world's most popular virtual currency is viewed and legally treated as a commodity in the united states annoyed initial coin offerings or token sold during the fund raising process are regulated as securities this is one reason why the us has been left out many of many of those i c.e.o.'s and many people in crypto currency traders in countries like the united arab emirates are starting to support these i.c.l. as more and more kristie tell us why is the united states such an outlier on the restrictive end the spectrum when it comes to these icy roads. now. so the u.s.

doesn't make these regulations for no good reason the f.c.c. who actually is there for because right now they're looking at the i see a landscape as a call back to the i.p.o. heyday which then led to the stock one of the biggest stock market crashes in 1929 following the stock market crash in 1929 the f.c.c. was actually created in 1934 specifically for the sole purpose to prevent some sort of market manipulation like the i.p.o. crisis from ever happening again so now they're looking at crypto currency and i think this is a threat i see those are going unregulated unchecked and they're raising money from a lot of investors who have no idea what they're actually invested in which is why right now the f.c.c. is actually clamping down and they're making sure that they're more transparent about fund raising they're only raising from a credit busters investors who actually know what block chain and the technology is so that a lot of people can go out there and just brought do fraudulent behavior and raise money from mom and pop.
