there are no further rollback it's compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal if steps are not taken within the next 10 days to shield it from the u.s. sanctions. a report about alleged u.s. cyber attacks on russia's power grid raises questions about by the donald trump is being briefed by his intelligence services on their operations. and 2 sisters in saudi arabia to the international community for asylum after reportedly suffering years of abuse at the hands of their parents in the kingdom they joined a growing number of women looking for a way out of the gulf. it's

8 o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all to international live from our studio with me in india today welcome to the program iran has announced its production of low level enrich the uranium surpassing the stockpile limits set by the 2015 nuclear agreement and it's happening soon. time on june the 27th we will exceed the 300 kilogram limit on reached uranium loans under the nuclear deal after that we will continue to increase the speed of production drastically a white house representative has responded to that statement by claiming to iran is blackmailing the international community and calling for increased pressure on iran you know neil was joined by eco should don off to discuss whether the latest developments have the 2015 nuclear agreement. the 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 a 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 if they had dropped out of the deal 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. 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 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 this so 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 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 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 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 and we call upon sober assessments and wait for some credible evidence to be presented which it is ridiculous decide secrets in this case appears you've already 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 rein in military is strong enough to do it out in the open you

know a 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 that there are not many people are on board and some inside the u.s. government blaming 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 tehran. nest of evil this cradle of evil now europe doesn't doesn't want this happening europe doesn't do is not engaging in this sort of rhetoric i mean people inside the u.s. government people in washington. 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 you want his policy to succeed we spoke to an iran that based political communications professor who says tehran wants to u.s. pressure. another says that some people in the white house that they would be able to push it would be able to. sanction. and backtracking. and iran wouldn't do much now we know especially after today that. was wrong you don't is not. find that this is going to upset president around but hopefully people like john bolton given. that iran would continue to follow the one so i think trump is understanding that some of the people who. are not giving good advice and i

think that their job is in line because the. big question mark hanging over washington is being kept out of the loop on aspects of foreign policy that idea has been stirred by new york times article on cyber warfare which claims u.s. hackers attacked russia's power grid and as explained what have actually happened it appears to be a no win situation for everyone. one of the biggest 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 or not flushing of the paper down the toilet the president called the report a lie but the new york times is adamant they're saying you are wrong mr president. in the press of treason is dangerous we describe the obstacle to the government before publication so story notes president trump 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. in this president trump as far as i know denies the information about cyber attacks on russia or if indeed some agents are doing it without informing the president then this indicates a hypothetical cyber war with russia because we have previously said that our

strategic and essential the konami spears have been on the cyber attacks from abroad many times and our agencies are countering these attacks you know order to prevent any harm to our economy russia has consistently tried to initiate international cooperation to find any type of cyber crime unfortunately our american partners have never taken a stop on this off like you do so this time in the past to 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 was 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 these series and actions against russia without briefing the president in full see how no one's using the word how are kurds 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. as describing the silence as refugees that twitter account suspended after using the platform to ask the international community to help the pads say they've been subjected to sustained to peace at the hands of that used one of the 50 to plead for asylum the

port. my father used to live and. he is looking for. trace. rights and given nations to only its activities to help us move to a safe 3. showed me after the suspensions reinstated this is a cancer as well as. a human rights activist who have been supporting them the social media giant has not offered any comment on its actions in line with the company policy the 2 girls have been detailing on the site their parents allegedly abused them physically and verbally sometimes even causing injuries that warranted medical attention they're now in turkey having escaped while on a family holiday there a human rights advocate we spoke to says social media played a crucial role in helping the girls get their story heard. it's very important so

anyone who's potentially at risk to publish their case it's going to help them find asylum lucene other instances 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 again 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 by swedes we have to question them and what their protocols are to protect people who are in a situation obviously they need to install more safeguards for situations. the case of the sisters is not unique either it's estimated that around $1000.00 women attempt to flee the kingdom each year one recent high profile case it was that of cronin who tried to flee to australia via thailand after barricading ourselves in a hotel when she launched a twitter campaign and was eventually granted asylum in canada

a saudi diplomat later joked that deny her access to technology might have been more effective than taking her passport. when she arrived in new twitter account and her forwards grew to 45000 in one day it would have been better if they'd confiscated her mobile phone instead of her passport. and that the challenge faced by girls fleeing saudi arabia is a new government created smartphone app that can be used for my. damed things like when you passports and paying parking fines but also allows male members family members to track female relatives and even prevent them from traveling by the sterling again says that as the number of such cases rise everything must be done to get oppressed women a force. over the past year we've seen cases such as secular teacher we've seen a house muhammadan 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 quite public and in fact mohamed's 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 it's 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 suffered to also aristide's within the countries to the u.a.e. authorities to saudi but they're not taken seriously and in fact it can lead to the increase in mental punishment or even did by way of homage killing. coming up a little piece of paradise home to spectacular wildlife the galapagos islands has been chosen by the us from a site i knew at base but as we'll hear after the break as backlash.

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 time sense the 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 now that they are causing to you in an environment where their money printing is increasing the. welcome back to the program ecuador has granted the united states permission to use one of its famed lands as an airfield but the government in crito is facing a backlash of what critics are calling a violation of the country's constitution. takes a closer look. but galapagos islands home to the giant tortoises birthplace of darwin's theory of evolution and when you walk by the sound of lapping waves and the gentle hum of america complaints. levels i've mentioned that the galapagos is our aircraft carrier it is our natural carrier because it is

shores us pamela's replenishment interception facilities and it is. as a 1000 kilometers from our coast united states is going to take charge for improving conditions especially refueling what is might now find some new star spangled species 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 payne's on the historic sun crystal 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 and constitution doesn't allow foreign military bases on its soil but now if it says the defense minister it's not a base to say it's it's a funny little gathering place going to. the usa for me 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's covering all the costs but perhaps unsurprisingly not everyone's happy about this latest addition. 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. relations hit a no no under former president rafael correa he i'm going to washington by closing one of the largest u.s. bases outside the states relations father soured one craig granted wiki leaks co-founder today in a silent asylum and sheltered him from the long arm of the u.s. justice department for years but things have been on the up recently thanks to lenin murano who's been in power since 2017 it was miranda who decided that a son should outstayed his welcome at the embassy in london we all know the fallout

from the whistle po was dragged out by the british police slapped with 18 criminal counts by washington now faces extradition. us and potentially a 175 years behind bars now coincidentally or not at the same time acquittals bank account got an almighty boost with a $4200000000.00 loan from math the international monetary fund where the u.s. has huge voting rights we all know friendships about give and take so at the end of the day what's a small national treasure when your allies got deep pockets. name is plastered across some of the most expensive and sought after real estate on the planet but now there's this trump fight israel has renamed a tiny settlement in the occupied golan heights after the us president to markets appreciation for mr trump's recent recognition of israel's claim to sovereignty over the territory the hamlet is over 30 years old and has

a population of just 10 people although israel now hopes it will be able to encourage more settlers to move there despite the fanfare though it's unlikely that trump heights will be officially established before the country's elections in september the decision is also likely to further inflame regional tensions with the exception of the us the international community regards israel's occupation of the syrian territory as illegal we asked historian marc shawn for his thoughts on the move and what its implications will 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's a truman village there's 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 enough to someone who's living everyone knows that the way to get to a 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 the president it's also

a great way of underscoring in the next the israeli election that's coming again very very soon and that's considered a electoral plus for prime minister netanyahu 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 up as a president that states therefore let's keep bibi netanyahu as prime minister because no one can replace him. as america's trade with china intensifies and the tech giant continues to pay screech any of its links to beijing everything chinese is now being treated with suspicion and that it seems has caused a few bad faces in the west defense industry. we are celebrating a lot of different approaches so many. private bi-polar to find there's just the

way they say it but it's by the plays of the world that you knew that you had you choice. walk away is something that's very dangerous into their close ties to the chinese government or of the tension. you know. i think it's bred it's not. bad but it's a question of how bad is. we have been completely. about the role 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 is if you have anything with the chinese connection at least

it ought to be noted and the risks need to be assessed to have in the world's 1st 5th generation strike aircraft i think is really a cause for concern. these parts like all 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 with a minimal role in the program. but please stay with us. which is that next a lot international and renegade one ought to make a. wooden

bowl make good manufacturing consent instinctive public wealth. when the right wing club the same protect themselves. when the primary go around the liberals only the one percent. doing nor middle of the room signal. to leave the room going to relieve. the of. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to be close that's what the 43 of them or can't be good i'm interested always in the

waters of my colleagues. question. when i was told some seemed wrong when all the roles just don't call. me old yet to say proud disdain comes to educate and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground the. we came here where did you work before you came here when you lived. in many us states capital punishment is still practiced convicted prisoners can spend years waiting for execution but most of the time the victims' families they are very much in favor the death penalty there are some people because of what they do have given

up their right to live among us some even proven innocent years on death row and how many more years is it going to take before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about. washington's disdain for international agreements has left doubtful about the u.s. as a trusted partner while the new. meant help pull through. the european union is entering a new chapter old political coalitions are collapsing and newcomers from the right

. consensus to the test with competition between traditional powers on the right is will the e.u. manage to present a united front and deal with the challenges of today and will the new political forces help you with. tearing it's about. that really great to have you with us. to talk about so start with the latest elections in the e.u. so the populist wave that everyone thought would take over again happen in come about but the far right still got more seats than before in the e.u. parliament. begins in italy in france in hungary not enough to take over but what do you thing this gain will do will it allow to disrupt the parliament from within. well firstly i think you're absolutely correct the gains have been there but the relatively marginal we're talking about

a 5 percent increase compared to 2014 and also a very strong on the other side consolidation a very very clear pro european consensus between 4 political families the popular party the socialists the greens and the liberals now when it comes to the minority that 25 percent minority on the nationalist side in a sense precisely because they are nationalist and being nationalists they're not particularly good at cooperating internationally by definition actually not only is it numerically relatively contained minority but it is also one that is unable to work together i think we have already seen the 1st instance of this was there so we need the leader of a guy in italy there essentially try to unite the nationalist of the populists to that extreme right but failed to do so i don't think is going to be able to do it

and he has been very demonstrated that he's been unable to do so particularly by failing to reach an agreement with poland incidentally russia was the main source of that disagreements because of course populist and nationalist disagree on most issues i mean be it russia of course being one example be it migration be it austerity and fiscal policy in every single domain in every major domain of european policy they're actually at loggerheads with one another so this is a big topic the whole they need dream of creating this platform because hillary has france and germany is alternative for germany party. and she feels with quality but he's hoping for hungary's fidesz to join and for agis party do you think that could happen well firstly for roger. party is not going to stay there for very long. by. this year the u.k.

is out and therefore i would say that is it really that we can talk about it also because we don't know now because i know the test that turns them a resigned after the grex a deal failed and he's saying now that there's a 30 percent chance that it may not happen and i know well to be honest i think that they would have to be something very significant taking place in the united kingdom and by very significant i mean a call before the 31st of october either for a 2nd referendum all for a general election for the e.u. to allow for 2nd postponement of the deadline i think unless something so dramatic happens i think even in a no deal outcome the rest of you the 27 will see the u.k. out so i i actually think that with reason may out of the picture with a radicalization within the conservative party in the united kingdom this is

actually increased the chances of the no deal i guess it.
