i. think. iran announces it will further roll back its compliance with a 2050 nuclear deal if steps are not taken within the next 10 days to shield it from u.s. sanctions. a report about alleged u.s. cyber attacks on russia's power grid raises questions about whether donald trump is being briefed by his intelligence services on their operations. and 2 sisters in saudi arabia plead to the international community for asylum after reportedly suffering years of abuse at the hands of their parents and they join a growing number of women looking for a way out of the gulf monarchy. it's

11 o'clock here in moscow you're watching r.t. international live from our studio with me and welcome to the program iran has announced its production of low level enriching 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 blackmailing national community and calling for increased pressure on iran you know nail was joined by. to discuss the latest developments leave the 25th 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 in richmond 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 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. 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 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. regime did not respect the japanese prime minister's visit to iran it replied to the foot by attacking. one of which was japanese igor 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 washington on 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 known as the trust the notice trusting i should say as saudi arabia and israel and we call upon sober assessments and wait for some credible evidence to be presented to cheat 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 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 when 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 what does seem that trump has backed himself into a corner somewhat he has been so vehement in this stance in the election campaign. iran is tehran is this 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 us 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. from a political analyst and commentator. now believes america has proven its no longer a reliable partner. there is no fairness in the discussion that america wants and everyone needs to understand that america is the one that broke the c.p. oh wait america is the one who said we reject this mr trump came along very soon after of course at the behest of the persuasion of the hawks like bolton pump a lot of course mr netanyahu trump you know it is his wisdom so we say decided that this deal was not a good deal and he was going to walk away from it without any real excuse and now you know they have put draconian sanctions on iran for quite some time now even one of the c.p.o. it was around the sanctions were not completely removed you know sort of sanctions

were removed by america but a new sense of unilateral sanctions were added by america at the time to see it was signed so the whole thing was somewhat classical unfortunately. a question mark hanging over washington is that donald trump being kept out of the loop on foreign policy that is being stirred by a new york times article on cyber warfare which claims u.s. hackers attacked russia's polic would. explain what have 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 and acts. 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 described the article 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 but 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 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 to have previously sent then our strategic and essentially konami spears have been on the cyber attacks from growing many times and our agencies are countering these attacks and 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 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 the series actions against russia without briefing the president in full see how no one's using the word harker's when it's not america that's being hacked and anyway this could really prove to be a great mess 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. won't get any better. he thought is describing themselves as refugees have had that kind suspended after using the platform to ask the international community

for help the padded say they've been subjected to sustained abuse at the hands of their father used one of the it is to plead for asylum. my father took away both and. he is looking for us now we trace. so on human rights and given nation's time to all human rights activities to help us move to a safer country. shortly after the suspensions twitter reinstated the sisters' account as well as that of a human rights activist who has been supporting them the social media giant has not offered any comment on its actions in line with company policy 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 they're now in turkey having escaped while on a family holiday there and human rights advocate we spoke to says social media played a crucial role in helping the girls get their story that. 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 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 by swiss we have to question them and what the 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 and it's estimated that around $1000.00 women attempt to flee the kingdom each year one recent high profile case was that of rush hour who tried to flee australia via thailand after barricading herself in

a hotel room she launched a twitter campaign and was eventually granted asylum in canada a saudi diplomat later joked that denying her access to technology might have been more affected. then taking her passport. when she arrived in new twitter account and her followers grew to 45000 in one day it would have been better if they'd confiscated her mobile phone instead of her passport another challenge faced by girls and playing saudi arabia is a new government created smartphone app that can be used for mundane things like when your passport and paying parking fines but also allows male family members to track female relatives and even prevent them from traveling but a sterling again says that as the numbers of such cases rises everything must be done to give an oppressed women a voice. over the past year we've seen cases such as security for 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 as each case is why public and

in fact. case was published and broadcast inside saudi arabia is a step in itself to sort of promoting those more secure a 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 often these women would like to report the kind of abuse they've suffered to also artie's within the country is 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 death by way of articulating. egypt's 1st democratically elected president collapsed during a court session in cairo on monday and died shortly afterward of a suspected heart attack a committee of report that mohamed marty who led the country from 2012 to 2013 was

standing trial over espionage cables policy clear as the details. morsi was the 1st democratically elected president of egypt he was also the 1st civilian to hold the highest office in that country but that brief of one comported experiment in democracy saw him serving only one for you of what was supposed to have been his term of office he was overthrown back in 2013 by general abdel fattah el-sisi who is currently the president of egypt it all dates back to the egyptian revolution of the 25th of january 2011 and all sounds and some nights a 1000000 people coming to tahrir square in downtown cairo i was there at the time and i remember talking to particularly the young people who expressed the hope that the country was going to go through radical change also remember covering protests that were muslim brotherhood demonstrations at the time and they were quite suspicious of foreign journalists there was a lot of clamp down on the media and you had for example who were seen as being

a mouthpiece off of the muslim brotherhood who initially had quite a lot of freedom and then had the officers raided so it was a particularly tense time to actually be reporting in egypt the other sense i got was that there had been a nude that history was being made and then eventually you had mubarak overthrown by what many churches told me was a dictator that was even worse because he came from a muslim brotherhood movement made in egypt a god as a terrorist organization essentially and they knew route to the military coup so many egyptians feeling that this revolution of these had actually not achieved much and had gone full circle so it was a time when you had an atmosphere of electric change when dissipating of change was going to happen in egypt and then in actual fact not so long late not so long afterwards people feeling that very little had changed now as far as morsi who did

not last in powerful very long and in june 2013 millions went back to tahrir square and called. him to step down he refused and then a few days later you had the egyptian army that militarily overthrew him and then subsequent to that you have morsi who has been facing charges of espionage he's been accused of colluding with israel and hamas and also has been accused of killing protesters he has been in prison where his health has been deteriorating for quite some time and there were a number of concerns there will be expressed he had the death penalty this was their overturned and now he was facing a trial. i could or has gone to the united states permission to use one of its famed because silence as an airfield but the government in quito is facing a backlash for what critics are calling a violation of the country's constitution party saskia taylor takes a closer look. the galapagos islands home to the giant tortoises birthplace of

darwin's theory of evolution and it'll wear you rocked to sleep by the sound of lapping waves and the gentle hum of american planes you know as you know you love those is but 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 what has 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 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 the ecuadorian 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 usa 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's covering all the costs but perhaps unsurprisingly not everyone is happy about this latest edition. 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 to get the sound. harlem 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 moran oh who's been in power since 2017 it was maranoa who decided that a son should outstayed his welcome at the embassy in london we all know the fallout from the whistle pro was dragged out by the british police slapped with 18 criminal counts by washington now faces extradition to the u.s. 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 a 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. from his name was plastered across some of the most expensive and sought after real estate on the planet but now there's this trump heights israel's and renamed

a tiny settlement in the occupied golan heights after the us president to markets appreciation for his 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 as with the exception of the u.s. the international community regards israel's occupation of the syrian territories as illegal we asked a historian longshoreman for his thoughts on the move and what its implications will be. usually you name something after a dead person right there 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 far. 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 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 our love for president trump 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 the prime minister 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 ited states therefore let's keep bibi netanyahu as prime minister because no one can replace him. it seems the u.s. might be opening another front in its international trade war this time with its ally india a new tally is firing back its impose tariffs on a further 28 american products on this highest 70 percent it follows don't want trans refusal to exempt india from increased steel in a 1000000 taxes in the u.s.

last year by then india threaten to increase its tiris to 120 percent ahead of a meeting with its indian counterpart later this month u.s. president has been accusing new delhi of not giving washington equal access to the engine market so what dipali in case you missed it 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 voter was not easy or cheap but in the end it was worth their time for those u.s. markets are now 11 and sturgeon i well it is our window access is now expensive and even if it was worth it you know 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 s. h heard you saying the intercontinental ballistic something 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 you're going to leave the country very. traditional because it was

. sanctions are great to use against the likes of cuba venezuela last 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. our it. allow you to target friends like mexico europe canada and especially your buddies in beijing because while solutions are used as punishment tyrants are just a normal part of global trade right the way the us has been using them is no different china has started fighting back though apparently they've started to prevent the release of american films this might all have a hollywood ending after all.

there's america's trade dispute with china also intensifies and chinese made goods come and increased scrutiny there's been another big tech scare this time over circuit boards used in the f. $35.00 fighter jet. we are celebrating a lot of different approaches of many 35 aircraft bi-polar find their jet the way they say by the plays of the world when you do that you had your choice. walk away is something that's very dangerous into their close ties to the chinese

government or of attention and cyber espionage. i think it's bred it's not a. bad but it's a question of how bad is. we have been completely in. 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 who 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 generation strike croft i think is really a cause for concern. michael components of the f. 35 are inspected repeatedly each stage of manufacture additionally except in p.c.b. has no visibility or i say any sense to present information and there is limited no risk associated with that minimal role from the program.

pay stay with us for going on the. brand which is up next on r.t. international. when lawmakers manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the right wing clubs isn't protect themselves. with the financial merry go round listen to the one percent. that's not going

nor middle of the room signals. to leave the room to the real news is really. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be wrestled. to the right to be cross this is what the 43 in the morning can't be good but i'm interested always in the waters of my colleagues. question. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that.

truth.
