news live from moscow this is r.t. international pleasure your company i mean and our top story iran has announced it's to boost production of low level enrich uranium surpassing the stockpile limits set by the 2015 nuclear agreement on the. time on june the 27th we will exceed the 300 kilogram limit and reached uranium under the nuclear deal after that we will continue to increase the speed of production drastically. well the white house representative has responded to that statement by claiming to run as a bloc mailing the international community on calling for increased pressure on iran igor she joined me earlier in the studio to explain where the latest

developments leave the 2015 nuclear agreement. deal is falling apart so it is pretty much as big as it gets because iran is giving a final warning in 10 days they will start enriching uranium beyond the limits set by the deal and i'm not talking just the civilian sort of levels they could easily reach those levels of enrichment that would constitute a weapons grade level of enrichment and which could lead to iran obtaining a nuclear weapon and i mean iran is saying that it is a tit for tat measure they're saying that if the united states that they had dropped out of the deal a year ago last year. this whole year iran has been very patient but they're saying well if one side is not you know not following the deal then why should the. relations between the u.s. and russia have been on this dying words spiral i think it's safe to say for quite some time but it did come in the renewed focus didn't it this month totally i mean just last week to oil tankers were attacked in the go there were explosions

basically in the gulf of oman and the united states for instance they were very very quick to pin the blame on iran for doing so and some middle eastern allies they jumped on that bargain as well have a listen we are confident that we can take a set of actions that can restore deterrence which is our mission so you say a full range of options does that include a military response force. sometimes even obvious things must be. and try and does it in his current firm stance against iran's aggression in the gulf of amman in the persian gulf as well as in the region in general rein in regime did not respect the japanese prime minister's visit to iran it replied to the foot by attacking one of which was japanese one thing all those clips we just saw have in common they're all u.s. allies what about other global reaction what's europe saying oh well interesting thing about that video is that those are pretty much the only u.s.

allies that are with was. you know on this whole thing of pointing the finger of blame at iran and saying yeah tehran had something to do with it when it comes to europe they're not as a trust not as trusting i should say as saudi arabia and israel. we call upon sober assessments and wait for some credible evidence to be presented which it is ridiculous to cite secret data in this case ready in the last days we have called for the maximum restraint the world cannot afford another crisis especially in an area like that 1st of all we need to investigate who is responsible for the attacks so we can say this or that country was responsible without providing any evidence run by the way they said that if they indeed wanted to have something going on in the gulf of oman if they wanted to block trade to block this trade route they wouldn't have needed a diversion to do so they would have done it openly saying yeah we're blocking it

they're saying that in military is strong enough to do it out in the open you know they play by the rules so we can clearly see that there are a lot of there's a lot of distrust when it comes to washington's claims and there are not many people are on board and some inside the u.s. government blaming trump for ceding this distrust the problem is that we are struggling even in the midst of this solid evidence to persuade our allies to join us in any kind of a response and it shows just how isolated the united states has become so it does seem that trump has backed himself into a corner somewhat he has been so vehement in this stance in the election campaign the iran is bad tehran. nest of evil this cradle of evil now europe doesn't doesn't want this happening europe doesn't is not engaging

in this sort of rhetoric i mean people inside the u.s. government people in washington are not on board they are blaming trump for that and so really trump has quite a lot in front of him quite a lot to do if he wants his policy to succeed. well we took the chance to ask people in new york what they thought about the potential of military action between iran and the us can you imagine a situation where it would be you would be in support of a war with iran. it was not stuff one was another war and then another then another you know one thing is another way. to. go about things open assassinations and bombing other people and we knew about it you could prove it i think we need real proof that some type of activity is actually happening where people are losing life losing land where some type of injustice is happening at the hands of iran but at this point i don't really know that that's necessarily a terrorist attack on you know innocent people you know something like 911 happens

of course the response is this is necessary and immediate. is war the answer to that maybe not maybe but i still think personally we should find a different solution besides war we've been to many wars a lot of people have died in doesn't seem to make the issues go with. iran is having violence against the whole or that i think the country maybe can resolve his own issues with other countries' interference i can say is i hope nobody gets hurt i hope for world peace. well as sundra bruno from gulf state is a conflict with iran would have dire consequences for the u.s. . starting a war with iran would be unlike any other war that the united states has engaged in before abroad that would be a conflict that in some ways my be worse than vietnam it certainly won't be iraq the problem is that point and bolton are in charge of foreign policy i don't think

trump really has the details in hand it's like he's a rider on the horse but he doesn't have the reins and of course they will use this tool the. authorization with the congress based on terrorism because they will present whatever iran does in the persian gulf or elsewhere as an act of terrorism that is the best way these days to get americans behind. and attack. there appears to be a big question mark hanging over washington is donald trump being kept out of the loop on aspects of foreign policy that idea has been stirred by a new york times article on cyber war for which claims u.s. acars attacked russia's power grid and this explains what ever actually happened it appears to be a no win situation for everyone. one of the big stories of the weekend america

is in the midst of a real cyber war on russia's energy grid at least as the new york times puts it they say a number of current and former u.s. officials told them an american computer code had been deployed inside the grid the grid of the biggest country on this planet was it russian hackers we kept hearing about all the time make no mistake the u.s. government has plenty of cyber warriors at their disposal within hours of the story circulating the tromp twitter rant began an act of treason that's how he called the n.y.t. piece and after the usual metaphorical flushing of the paper down the toilet the president called the report a lie but the new york times is adamant there saying you are wrong mr president accusing the press of treason is dangerous we describe the obstacle to the

government before publication of those story notes president trump's own national security officials said there were no concerns so we've been left guessing if the massive hack actually ever took place that's a tough one blood lot of our putin's press secretary doesn't rule out this could have been the case. and this president trump as far as i know denies the information about cyber attacks in russia them up or if indeed some agents are doing it without informing the president then this indicates a hypothetical cyber war with russians too as we have previously sent then our strategic and sensually comics peers have been on the cyber attacks from growing many times and our agencies are countering these attacks you know to prevent any harm to our economy russia has consistently tried to initiate international coalition to human to find any type of cyber crime and fortunately our american partners have never taken a stop on this option because in doing so this time in the past 2 mr pascoe has fallen short of blaming washington for the attacks. but they've been out there and

there's no doubt some kind of cyber war is on again the new york times with citing government officials without naming them though and so the question is who the hell is making decisions about this potentially enormous operation if the president is really unaware of the whole thing by the way not that long ago the american media was going nuts about russian hackers allegedly trying to screw up the u.s. power system some feared a true disaster was being plotted by the russians what are they saying this time around it's very clear that president trump isn't even asking to be briefed on the most pressing issues facing our country intelligence officials are not comfortable sharing intelligence information with the president of the united states apparently pentagon and military officials who are taking the series actions against russia without briefing the president in full see how no one's using the word hackers when it's not america that's being hacked and anyway this could really prove to be

a great mass or another dirty game but with both scenarios in this story be it the president knows or the president doesn't rock bottom moscow d.c. ties won't get any better. moving the program to some of the sisters describing themselves as refugees have their twitter account suspended after using the platform to us the international community for help that per who say they have been subjected to sustained abuse of the homes of the father used one of their videos to plead for asylum i brought. my father to live and. he is looking for. trace. so on i 70 the nations to only to return to him to safe. let's just go through this shortly after the suspensions twitter reinstated the sisters or cohen says well as. of human rights activists who have been supporting them the social

media giant has not offered any comment on its actions nowadays in line with company policy or the 2 girls have been detailing on the site how their parents allegedly abused them physically and verbally sometimes even causing injuries that warranted medical attention there no in fact in turkey having escaped while on a family holiday there a human rights advocate we spoke to say social media played a crucial role in helping the girls get their story heard. it's very important that anyone who's potentially at risk to publish their case it's going to help them find asylum lucene other instances where girls have just waited too long to get their story out and that's allowed the family to track them down and essentially take them back to saudi against their will we need to be using social media more often it's revolution what allies the way that we can deal with human rights situations like this but at the same time it's hugely risky because when we see accounts being

suspended we have to question then and what the protocols are to protect people who are risking the situation obviously they need to install more safeguards for situations the case of the sisters is not a unique one it's estimated that around a 1000 women attempt to flee the kingdom each year one recent high profile case was that of one. who tried to flee to a stream live via thailand after barricading herself in a hotel room she launched a twitter campaign and was eventually granted asylum encountered a saudi diplomat leave her job denying her access to technology might have been more effective than taking her passport. when she arrived she opened a new twitter account and her followers grew to 45000 in one gene it would have been better if they'd confiscated her mobile phone instead of her passport another challenge faced by girls fleeing saudi arabia is a new government created smart phone they can be used for monday night things and

renewing passports paying parking fines but it also allows male family members to truck female relatives and even prevent them from traveling rather starting again so use that as the number of such cases rises everything must be done to give oppressed women a chance and a voice. over the past year we've seen cases such as say the let's ringback see fair we've seen a half mama done we've seen hints from the u.a.e. and we're seeing more and more and i think that as i say each case is why up late and in fact for how long its case was published and broadcast inside saudi arabia is a step in itself to sort of promoting those more secular secular belief system and the fact that it was since it is quite surprising and therefore that is going to inspire more and more girls who are suffering abuse to really try to escape in and risk their lives to secure the kind of freedom from abuse that of course everybody wants i mean also in these women would like to report the kind of abuse they have

some tools are zs within the country is to the u.a.e. authorities to saudi but they're not taken seriously and in fact can lead to the increase in mental punishment or even did by way of homage killing. coming up a little slice of paradise home to spectacular wildlife that go up because islands has been chosen by the u.s. for the site of a new era base but as well here after the break there's backlash. in a world in which there are the americans that the chinese the indians the russians excedrin europeans can only really be a player at that global top table by standing united and we are already united on the economic front and we increasingly understand that we have to do so also on the

defense front. when else should seem wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape our disdain become educated and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. where barack ecuador has granted the united states permission to use one of its

famed go up because iowans are a field but the government in quito is facing a backlash for what critics are calling a violation of the country's constitution looking closer into the story for us or to. the galapagos islands home to the giant tortoise birthplace of darwin's theory of evolution and it'll where you walk to see by the sound of the lapping waves and the gentle hum of american planes you know as you know you know i love those i've mentioned that the galapagos for ecuador is our aircraft carrier it is our natural carrier because it is shores us permanent replenishment interception facilities and it is a 1000 kilometers from our coast united states is going to take charge of improving conditions especially refueling watches might now find some new star-spangled species zipping across the sky because ecuador has just agreed to allow the u.s.

military to use the u.s. go world heritage site reports claim the pentagon will now keep planes on the historic san cristobal island for operations in the pacific ocean with the primary purpose said to be fighting drug trafficking so far so good that's just a small catch a minor inconvenience really but ecuador in constitution doesn't allow foreign military bases on its soil but now if it says the defense minister it's not a base pesetas it's a funny little gathering place going to look at the us to meet for periods of no more than a week and is subject to the protocol of the preservation of sovereignty those are my concerns gone also on the plus side washington is covering all the costs but perhaps unsurprisingly not everyone is happy about this latest addition galapagos is not an aircraft carrier for gringo use it is an ecuadorian province patrimony of humanity patriotic ground that his vessel soul can reach such a level describes very well the government to represent now ecuador and u.s.

territory illegal we asked historian marc shulman for his thoughts on the move to simplifications could be. usually you name something after a dead person right in israel there are plenty of things named after dead american presidents there's a lincoln street there is a truman village there is a kennedy forest i can name lots of things named after former american presidents who are long dead or you generally don't tend to name it to someone who's living everyone knows that the way to get to president trump to love you is to love him back or to love him he loves to have things named after him and this was another attempt to show love for president trump it's also a great way of underscoring in there the israeli election that's coming again very very soon and that's considered a electoral plus for prime minister that and the fact that he's close to president trump is considered something that israelis say well why would we possibly want to get rid of bibi netanyahu after all he's close to president trump and president

trump as a present a united states therefore let's keep bibi netanyahu as prime minister because no one can replace him. as america's trade war with china intensifies the tech giant weiwei continues to face scrutiny over its links to beijing everything chinese is they are being treated with suspicion. because the few red faces in the west's defense industry. we are celebrating a lot of different approaches of many 35 very bipolar 5 years the world. by the point of the world knew that you had your choice.

why way is something that's very dangerous due to their close ties to the chinese government for a potential role in cyber espionage. i think it's. it's not. bad but it's a question of how bad it is. we have been completely in. the rule of china and it is only now that people are beginning to wake up what people are concerned about and i'm one of those have anything with the chinese connection at least it ought to be known and the risks need to be to have in the world's 1st 5th generation strike croft i think is really a cause for concern. because michael components on the f. $35.00 are inspected repeatedly each stage of manufacture additionally exception

p.c.b. has no visibility or access to any sense to program information and there is limited to no risk associated. in the program. it seems the u.s. might be opening another front in its international trade war this time with its ally india new delhi is firing back its impose tariffs on a further 28 american products some as high as 70 percent it follows donald trump's refusal to exempt india from increased steel and alimony in taxes in the u.s. last year back then india threatened to increase his tariffs to 120 percent ahead of a meeting with his indian counterpart later this month the us president has been accusing new delhi of not giving more shinton equal access to the indian market so what do

poly boy on the in case you missed the team think of trade in the modern age. how do you launch a war without needing to fight a war in case you missed it the economy stupid. international access to the u.s. market used to be a bit like dating the rich girl next door when you were a vogue was not easy or cheap but in the end it was worth their time for those u.s. markets are now and 11 and still deny well that the downwind access is now expensive and even if it was worth it. it's going to hurt so we all know that america has the biggest military in the world just level the cost of whatever country you're in there's a good chance that there is a u.s. aircraft carrier staring right back at you so now the u.s. is away from raising its economy in order to fight international disputes and dominating the market is i.c.b.m.'s. teetered you saying

the intercontinental ballistic sanction ready to be deployed anywhere you need it advantages of the i.c.b.m.'s include causing misery to entire populations in countries you don't like without firing a single shot collapse the economies of your opponents and then blame the attack countries without actually having to deploy a single soldier and then accuse them of aggression and remember once deployed i.c.b.m.'s will work for decades with absolutely no effort from you just keep it fueled with a strong dollar going to the country very. traditional because it was. planning since august rate to use that against the likes of cuba venezuela north korea iran russia you know the bad guys the problem is you can't use them against the good guys which is why i don't know the difference administration has repackaged

sanctions he calls. garrett taric allow you to target friends like mexico europe canada and especially your buddies in beijing because while sanctions are used as punishment tyrants are just a normal part of global trade right the way the us has been using them that is no different than china started fighting back though apparently they've started to prevent the release of american films this might all have a hollywood ending after all. just coming up to 7 here in moscow this monday evening hope you're having a fine store to the week wherever you may be more great programs right ahead.

starting really in the 1980s under reagan at that turn deregulation you had the fed takeover and their sole purpose at that point was to try to squeeze workers completely out of the global economy so wages never went up real terms sensed that but stock markets keep going up and the reason to justify this is that the fed will say we need to try to take care of deflation even know that they are causing deflation in an environment where their money printing is increasing the debt.
