a promise for this council to attack it was the rainy and taking down of an american navy drone which at least according to the russian intelligence happened within the rainy and air space if that's indeed the case then iran had. to do what it wanted to do. don't you think that that might have been the reason that spoke trump that they suppose it cuz this ballie for this strike is so weak this is something according to the reports been hearing from american me they said that they refrained to do so because they thought they felt that they thought that it happened in inside the iranian airspace iran clearly and transparently announced that because the drone enter into iran in the space they target that they wanted to send a warning to the united states by saying that if they aggressive in the territory they will target said that if they wanted to attack they would have killed about

$150.00 people in the rain inside but the question comes to me is the americans a country in the past why nuclear bombs do they really care about killing 150 people and then maybe they do because donald trump is a very unusual president you can be very critical about him but he has. i think he has his redeeming qualities at least and what i found very interesting is that he made this his decision as i said against the counsel of most of his security advisers and we are talking not about only john bolton who is always ready to you know bomb any country he sees but also you know his last hawkish advisers and one thing that i was kind of wondering about because it's clearly not trying to sound that drone into the iranian air space do you think that it was just the routing mistake or do you think that there were some forces perhaps in the united states who wanted that drawn to be in that territory and to be shot down then the events

to kind of spiral down from there i would say that you know about one year ahead of presidential election in the united states a war or a military conflict can bring energy crisis. as in the region as the george bush the father by attacking the coate busy this cost his presidency back then i don't think trump wants to mean. yes to attack that he is worried about the after math of the attack and that's why he made the decision his very because he wants to. run for office again he wants to have reelection and he needs to be cautious and if they he has some advice or so favor a military attack against iran now my questions may sound a bit conspiratorial and yet we've had a series of several mysterious events already happening in the region which theoretically at least could have served as a promise for

a strike on iran i'm talking about the attacks on the oil tankers in the gulf of amman for in may and in june do you see any connection between those events and potentially the drone incident well i think they can be somehow relevant in terms of being suspicious because. iran and the united states both have announced that they are not after a military war in the region so but there are some other 3rd parties or even some elements in it within the united states and within the trumpet administration who aspire year to see a war between iran and the united states they want and that's why we have been seeing these things you're on has been denouncing condemning these things while iranian leader was meeting the prime minister of japan one of those incidents happened in the sea of oman this doesn't make sense for iran to do such

a thing at that timing exactly against the japanese tankers and i think in this situation whether iran is expected to react to the threats or pressure by the. united states that will be much easier to finger point to have the finger pointed toward iran and i think there might be some 3rd parties involved in this issue there are some speculations on social media about the alleged involvement of people's mujahedeen of iran and their organization that is banned in iran but have border it in the united states there are also some allegations of their ties with saudi arabia but all at this point all those allegations are on the verified and they will ringback remain and verified unless there is some neutral international investigation into the matter which has not been launched and i don't understand why because this is such a critical area for global maritime trade why do you think the international

community remains so lackluster about these attacks 6 attacks already happening in the space of 2 months on the one hand they want to pressure iran because iran has started to reduce its and if they you mean the united state or they the international community would say that the 1st that the united states and its allies because they want europeans even they want to have pressure against iran in order to stop iran from reducing its nuclear commitments under the nuclear deal also you know they want to have some make some allegations against iran there is no evidence look what the united arab emirates official said recently they said there is no evidence but before any investigation the americans and some western countries as well as some players in the region to try to let's say make allegations against iran and there was a tape recording between the. official talking to. the still

very. this tape is still on verify yeah but no one has rejected has been no denial i mean you cannot make the whole case on these another but more details that is one of the in the. this is something this so the arabia and the americas they have been always talking without doing any investigation they have been attacking iran and alleging that iran has done because from the american perspective iran is a fault everywhere and on every issue now this whole situation in iraq has a company here because this whole situation reminds me a little bit the build up to the expected strike against syria back in 2013 that president obama called off in the last minute but baghdad cass's valley was much more serious the goo to attack which both russia and iran believe was staged it involved multiple human casualties and very very gory graphic images thankfully we

haven't seen any of that in the case of iran do you think we will you know back then i would say that they were false flag operations because whenever the those armed forces or the terrorists were in a difficult situation those things happen in order to put pressure against the syrian government as well as those who are helping the syrian government to fight back against the terrorists but whether we will have such kind of false flag operations against iran that is also possible because america is they also devoted a budget for such kind of covered operations against iran this is something which was announced by american media. you know hearing those lies about iran is nothing new to mike pompei oh when he was talking about his he was director of the cia he said that they told lies they cheated many times they might be telling those lies

that they said in the past both this time about they can easily now president trump was very careful not to draw any rad lines but my compare secretary of state whom you just mentioned essentially did it for him. he said that if there is any attack involving death of an american citizen it would be considered a cause for retaliation against iran how does it go with the iranian leadership recent pledged you respond even with greater force in case of any of their intrusions across the border the downing of the drone was a warning to the united states in order not to repeat that kind of intuition into rain in borders space or integrity. so i think if such a thing happens again you ron. i think will respond again they've been stronger because they cannot see than watch the americans coming to you in an airspace and

doing everything without being in the middle in the reaction even risking a major confrontation which who definitely take the lives of many and many thousands of iranians that doesn't say that the risk will be higher if you run does not respond because this will send the signal to the americans that you can come will not so there will come next time more and more a move in not react but if they are the 1st point americans will be real think so this can have a high risk iran has learned during the presidency of trump or according to the approach of the americans that if it plays at the low level of risk it will lose but it needs to play at the level of the risk and that's why the nuclear essentially mirrored trump's own tactics but as changes it may be trying for now at least is essentially playing on the side of the ukrainian leadership because he did

not rush into war as some have act him into don't you think that there is something that the iranian leadership could do to solidify these kind of a fact. that he says that he. wants to negotiate with iran but he left in the go sharing table after viewers of would say 12 years of negotiations which led to a nuclear deal. in vienna so on now he's talking about negotiations look what happened recently they imposed sanctions they against you raney and commanders of the g.c. and they said that they will target the ren and foreign minister zarif so if there is going if there is going to be any talks between iran and the united states the most likely life going to. iran and foreign minister zarif so by imposing sanctions against that if i think donald trump is imposing the sanctions against diplomacy and the negotiations so this shows contradiction as well as confusion in trumpet

ministration i think well that's. perhaps no it's a surprising manifestation mr a slightly we have to take a very short break now but we will be back in just a few moments stay tuned. birdsall head. for the future but so. far good. to have it is that you. just. committed. to move. the net to fish you know not just before.

they are the house of. god since we. need. to meet don't hate. this kid who are. looking for a system definition in. the news to. my son doing drugs my nephews was still in drugs my sister just with doing drugs it was like an epidemic of drug abuse america's public enemy number one in the united states is drug abuse we started going after the users in the prison population sewer we started treating sick people people who are addicted to these drugs like

criminals while i was on the hill we became convinced that the war on drugs on the stink there are countless numbers of people who are in prison for inconceivable. sins for being minor minor offenders in the drug trade it's a lot watching your children grow up and miss you in waves and say by daddy as you're walking out of the business it's just it doesn't get easier. on. the backs of all the pride of boston slimy iranian journalist and political analyst process lanny just before the break we started talking about. whether the uranium leadership could have a more flexible approach one towards. president trump perhaps some other towards

more belligerent members of his administration and just a few weeks ago iran's supreme leader posted on his official twitter account that he does not consider the president of the united states as a person deserving chicks change messages with i have no response for him and i will not answer him is that a wise approach i mean you said that the americans are contradictory on the why that they want to have talks but surely iran wants to talk is that the way to talk to the american president well this is not the only of the approach of the lead there but many in iraq. on even those who remember back the presidential campaign of mr rouhani inside the country that many there are going for the negotiations with the united states in order to resolve different issues with the united states underneath their issue was the beginning point in order to resolve other issues maybe including the regional issues so they engage in negotiations they could

and it lasted for years they had the nuclear deal but the new president inside the united states after taking office he withdrew from the nuclear tahn nuclear deal after some time so. you know iran sees no guarantee if they engage in talks with this administration in the united states. that the other president or another person or even the same person bo you know do something you know strange and different again so there is no guarantee for your interesting gauge and so here is no guarantee for anyone i mean russia is in a pretty similar situation when it comes to compare it with iran i mean it faces the same. sorry to break into the program is history making right now president and the leader of north korea. we think. in

a village which is about 48 kilometers from the demilitarized zone. these are live pictures that you're seeing on the screen right now just come out and we are expected to meet. one of the most heavily militarized borders on the planet and it's a truce between north and south korea is the 2 koreas are technically still at war there's no peace treaty signed since the cold war so this is why this is such a historic meeting. there as you can see. i think. to be honest before arriving. very comfortable crossing the border into the north. and there they are the 2 of them talking earlier on we could see that. obviously there are

limitations. we've managed to get yes there they are 2 so they have met via a twitter. request and that's all we've known there was no official request the harlem shake between the 2 of them is historical moment between trouble. and the president of north korea kim jong un. they have had 2 previous meetings. have not result in anything in u.s. president trump and south korea president they met before with the south korean troops. but this is the moment everyone's been waiting for this morning certainly this is torkel meeting between trump and kim jong il and we just saw them shake hands in that demilitarized so in the truce village. what everyone is waiting to see is whether this meeting is actually going to be productive more productive than the other 2 meetings that we've had. we don't know

there's been no official organization. of this meeting. and no one knew whether he was going to turn up or not but there he is. right it is the 1st u.s. president to touch down in north korea like this. the other administrations have managed to do it. unfortunately we call it here what they're talking about but i'm sure we'll find out in good time the 2 countries militaries they've conducted annual war games which has infuriated north korea and they've scaled them back since the ties last year with those 2 previous meetings so far. they've been unable to strike any kind of deal regarding pyongyang's nuclear weapons program in exchange for reducing and punishing sanctions that was the aim

there. in a bit of a stalemate situation as we've been describing. months complete sation before he considers removing those sanctions and the north korean leader obviously wants it the other way around whether we've had lots of discussions are. talking about whether a complete new tries ation would be accepted by president kim jong un we don't know so far nothing's been set in stone but certainly at least there's been a warming in relations. trump has suggested that he's been the only u.s. president to be able to come this fall in trying to thaw those relations. but we will be talking about this throughout the day obviously these are the live pictures that you can see right now we have no sound we don't know what he's saying

. so we can use the name to her notice that what we should think we're trying to. do if you went to. him you don't on that are going to be nice if you don't. want to run and got it right. i'm going to go we're going to go. so we're going to go through i would like to put . a lot of really positive things or have. a good teacher tremendous positivity really great things are happening and there are a lot of places where. we met we liked each other from day one that was very important. because. you can. get down on

the ground in going good. oh i'm not about i'm not a bad guy you want to be a total loving mother and i want to do you. think you're. going to succeed but we're driving right now so i want to know if you're really going to marry me if you are going to live there. going back to our last day on monday or you know i mean coming from 500000000. 00 to 2 if you. are. a regular. so there you are you can see those live pictures that. lots of journalists restricted area of. what we've just called was

talking. and saying that they liked each other from the from the day from day one from when they met which he said was important as we know a lot of speculation whether about say enough to solve the problems that has his story problems. in north and south korea but. the situation still stands the u.s. and they want full nuclearize sation all of this and they want north korea to get rid of all their weapons before they consider removing sanctions. and from the north korean perspective they really don't want to do that so they've refused despite the meetings between the president the president from the u.s. and north korea these are live pictures that you're seeing right now. see if we can listen again and listen in and see what's being said. can you use.

a chemical. to keep your useless piece of cake is a question just a feature perspective. but you know under which you were going to come to terms. like burger king from your people who thought it made. me think you have to say that when i 1st became. great conflicts in the great great conflicts and now we have just the opposite. you. just want to. come to me and i'm crazy about. you got to get money for you. not going on. in front.

of the. argument for a moment you're going up with what's going to. be much. about the local take the city people expressed by grief i don't. think. it could. limit. my political will all of us for the benefit all of us to get a gift but i feel like i. want to see if i. stop prescott quick. to go because. i don't. know what happened

a lot i know you really got frantic. so we know that. ok just quickly there was a historic meeting between president trump and north korean president kim jong un they've gone inside to talk privately now we did see them and have a handshake and we will of course keep across that. will go back to other stories president putin and agreed to hold new arms control talks and america announces a trade war truce with china this was at the g. 20 summit which wrapped up on saturday in japan seems to have ironed out some of the tension facing the world. in us for us. you may like it or not but the g 20 you round table is in the big attention grabber the reality is that everyone is keen to know what happens at the so-called buyouts and the one that the media was hungry for the most happen on friday the face to

face between donald trump and vladimir putin's one and a half hours behind closed doors or wait the journalists were there just for a little bit at the very beginning not to the delight of mr trump. and to work least try to make american journalists leave him alone on one particular matter donald trump said this is. going to. be. a very. soon after time after time the president's kept repeating how happy the war with

how the. along with the meeting was good and business we discussed a whole area of issues which are of interest to russia and the united states we spoke about their economic relations russia sees that american businesses are interested in developing better relations with russia we had a discussion we had a great actually we had a great discussion president putin most of it was really a tremendous discussion i can see trade going out with russia we could do fantastically well we do very little trade with russia which is ridiculous frankly so from now on the top diplomats of russia and america will be working together on a new framework for global arms control plus the administrations agree to join afterwards to boost mutual trade and donald trump is considering coming to moscow in may next year he was invited there for the victory day celebrations another leader who got an invitation by the kremlin was emanuel macron and found

out here and. mr mccausland won't have a problem with saying hello when he comes to russia. here. so as you can see great vibes that that late night meeting to like when putin was with you case to resume a for the 1st time in 3 years london is set to remain an cold war mode with moscow the good news though is those who were in panic mode because of us china trade wars can breathe with relief for now we're going to continue the negotiation we agreed that i would not be putting tariffs on the $325000000000.00 that i would have the ability to put on if i wanted i have a tremendous relationship with president nobody else would have the deal. we were

getting tens of billions of dollars from china coming in and indeed the donald trump xi jinping bilad work its magic no new import tariffs for the time being and further talks to twine and the trade wars all together now everyone who is really making this planet spin angle maracle shinzo abi mohamed. and the one who by the way heard for the 1st time from donald trump that washington was in treating sorry to break into we are following the meeting between a donald trump and north korean leader kim jong il we're going to send in right now . here. we go. just to be. there for. you my number.

one number. yes so these are live pictures from this historic made saying that we're having here in the demilitarized zone in the trees between china and came in is the 3rd time that they've met they previously met before. but unfortunately those meetings didn't produce the outcome that either party wanted their speculations as to whether this meeting will be more successful but that's going to be a bit of time in the waiting for any steps to be taken forward. these are the live pictures that you're seeing here we saw them have a few words outside this building and they went in so just a small that looks like a small.
