i. head line stories on our international iran it's. in richmond the nuclear crisis enters a new phase it marks a further rule 2015 deal after tiran the deadline for a sanctions relief expires. in the stories that shape the week russia pays tribute to the 14 sailors who were killed in a fire on a nuclear submarine in the barents sea monday. through the skies of washington tanks rolled through the streets on july 4th continues to come under fire for militarizing us independence day celebration.

with the top stories from the past 7 days on right up to the moment developments as well this is the weekly on r.t. international hello and welcome iran plans to accelerate its uranium enrichment program on surpass the 3.6 percent cap stipulated in the 2015 nuclear agreement for energy reasons well to iran is already considered to be in breach of the deal after it surpassed the 300 kilogram uranium stockpile limit officials in the islamic republic recently ruled by further dialogue with washington on less sanctions are lifted and iran's deadline for that has not passed with europe. only able to provide limited relief from the effects of the financial

penalties as part of the agreement signed 4 years ago around curbed its nuclear program in return for a number of sanctions being removed the accord has been on the brink of collapse since the us you know laterally withdrew from it last year on reimposed devastating penalties on tirana the escalating tension crisis really has triggered serious concern in the region and in europe too well we can live now to our teased in berlin for us for some of the reaction to the iran crisis i don't want to have we heard from e.u. members well union union as you might have imagined leaders are not very happy about iran's new iranian enrichment plans germany's foreign ministry has already told iran that it wants it to stop exactly what it's doing before it comes

in violation of the treaty let's take a listen to what they said. germany like her partners is extremely concerned by the rance announcement that it has begun in reaching uranium beyond the concentration of 3.67 percent we have repeatedly called on iran not to take further measures that further undermine the nuclear deal. now berlin's already said that it's been in close contact with other countries involved in the deal and that it's taking steps towards a joint meeting to resolve the situation now other e.u. states have also voiced concern as well the u.k. foreign office called on iran to immediately stop what it called violations of the deal already violating the deal across the channel president emanuel macron in france warned of consequences that might fall follow the watering down of the deal anything that might violate the deal and on the flip side iran's foreign minister

says that things can go back iran doesn't consider itself in violation of the treaty because they say that the e.u. is not fulfilling their own obligations to the treaty yet so a whole host of commentry there don what is to run the response been to it well let's take a listen having failed to implement their obligations under the j c p o a including after the u.s. withdrawal the e.u. and a 3 should at the very minimum politically support iran's remedial measures on the paragraph $36.00 including the i.a.e.a. the a 3 have no pretext to avoid a firm political stance to preserve the j c p o a and council us you know naturalism now if it looks like perhaps both sides the e.u. and iran are at least open to a resolution to this israel's reaction for one has been more than inflammatory.

throughout as far looted solemn promise under the u.n. security council not to enrich uranium beyond a certain level the enrichment of uranium is meant for one reason and one reason only it's for the creation of atomic bombs. the leaders of the p 5 plus one promised and committed themselves to snap back sanctions the minute iran did you just do where you. so let's not forget that the united states is still unilaterally withdrawn from the agreement so only time will tell whether the european union can avoid secondary sanctions as a result of this unilateral withdrawal by washington and fulfill its its commitments to the deal with iran as well r.t. correspondent double quarter bring this the latest there from berlin. well a politics professor at the university of tehran told us that it is europe's failure to uphold the nuclear deal that's not driving the crisis iran waited for

over a year and the europeans did absolutely nothing in only after you won began to reduce its commitments 2 months ago did the europeans sort of push harder and and reveal begin the using instax or formally announcing insects but insects itself as it is nothing without money and europe still refrains from purchasing iranian oil under american pressure they could still refrain from allowing private companies or protected by private companies who want to do trade with iran so the iranians are. decreasing their commitments little by little to put pressure on the europeans so that they take a step forward if the europeans abide by their commitments then the iranians will stay within the studio even though the americans have left and the americans are hindered and the iranians don't accept the european excuse because the russians and the chinese are trying their best obeid by the deal and they're doing far better

than the europeans which have a very large economy. well the blow to the pact comes as tensions also continue to rise between tiran london their latest this period was triggered when british royal marines seized on the really and super tanker off the coast of gibraltar on thursday the u.k. believes the vessel was transporting oil to syria that's in violation of the use sanctions or run in turn claims the vessel did not enter the u.k.'s territorial waters and that it was travelling to quote a permit a destination and is demanding its immediate release. an iranian foreign ministry official described the u.k. moves on acceptable and called for the immediate release of the oil tanker given that has been seized at the request of the u.s. the u.k. navy's measure is tantamount to maritime piracy britain has no right to impose its own unilateral sanctions or those of the european union in an extra territorial manner against the other countries this is the very bullying policy of the u.s.

just more details on this gibraltar say the iranian tanker was carrying $2000000.00 barrels of oil the british overseas territories attorney general said on friday the ship can be impounded for 14 days while its crew are questioned that's happening now we believe and the seizure has been praised by washington which according to spain was behind the move. to tell others korean to stop we have been aware of the operation civil guard petrols have been watching the area which were investigating the circumstances and was under which the u.s. had this petition to the u.k. to excell news uki has detained the supertanker grace one laden with the reigning oil bond for syria in violation of you sanctions american our allies will continue to prevent regimes into ran in damascus from profiting off the illicit trade every few weeks we are seeing major provocations by the americans but they're sending drones or warship towards iran and now this incident where the british are actually

acting on behalf of the marriage what gives the british the right to seize any iranian share based on european laws iran is not a member of the e.u. just a trump government decided to lead you to your record the americans have been pressuring iran putting significant pressure on iran and you one has actually been acting in a very relatively cautious manner in which you understand that you want not sure restraint forever and we need such as this where the reigning chips are being seized in the equally. nor did i actually want you wanted you nothing in return if you want does nothing in return then they will put more pressure and more pressure . russia has been remembering the 14 cedars who were killed in a fire on a research submarine in the bar and see on monday 7 of the victims were high ranking navy officers to have been posthumously decorated with the country's

the day began with clashes in washington d.c. the left wing protesters faced off against the president's supporters ahead of his address to the nation donald trump's so-called salute to america then saw a show of military might in the u.s. capitol in what the former reality t.v. star called a show of a lifetime by many in the media political sphere as well around the world condemned the decision to involve busy tanks jets in the annual celebrations they accuse mr trump if we think huge amounts of money and using the event for political gain of next year's election. we're going to have planes going over as the best fighter jets in the world and other planes to . have some time stationed outside. feel. ill.

queue to make it into work seems to be current for a combination from. storrow military parade of hardware and equipment. c.n.n. has learned that some military chiefs have expressed reservations about politicizing the july 4th celebration concerned about the tanks and armored vehicles on displaying. the. sites he will. want to. make sense.

of it. this is the marine major battle cry of combat. q. and while many were upset about the tongue parade on independence day concerns about america's. military spending seemed to be somewhat more muted the us her. being involved in 7 conflicts in 2001 has army bases there and 30 nations last year alone the pentagon spurs a jaw dropping $649000000000.00 on its operations well despite washington's attempts to inspire feelings of patriotism particular under the current administration it seems national pride is on the decrease according to

recent gallup polls that's been the trend since 2003 this year the number of people who say they were proud to be american it's down to 70 percent sarah flounders head of the antiwar international action center say the theme of this year's parade reflects washington's hawkishness. everyone know this and why. and also. more than $800.00 u.s. military bases around the world outside the us that's right country is one you have to i mean largest cost more than 65 percent of all knowledge of all u.s. expenditures less expenditures federal government low keyed the military i don't very time went into structure elf care education is all declining and when the gap between rich or just higher than that any time in u.s. history. you're watching our to international the conflict in libya is back on or

the u.n. security council the microscope following a deadlier strike on a detention center the story or after this. as a financial survival. let's learn. let's say i'm the. grease of the fight. thank you for. the story 6 that's right. that's slavery. so the temporary orders that i'm under before you go to final trial actually do

allow me to address them as james and his male pronouns but i cannot do that in front of 3rd parties who know him as a girl so basically i can't go to a school or keep him away from any friends he might have at school that know him as a girl and at my home he's known as james and i use male pronouns when i'm prohibited from doing right now is trying to convince him that he's actually a boy. ok . earlier in the week story now the united nations security council has called for a cease fire in libya following a deadly strike on a migrant detention center that happened near the capital tripoli choose the night the attack which the un's envoy to libya said may amount to a war crime killed 53 people 6 children included 130 others were wounded

compounding the devastation some reports also suggest the guards at the facility opened fire on the server vibing migrants and refugees. they fled the time of the assault some 600 people were being held in the facility the un has called for an independent investigation into the incident. in the year 8 led to protests over the conditions in libya's government run detention centers which are on 6000 people the shelters have been sharply criticized by rights groups the refugees are also calling on the un to relocate them to safety. libya's un government which is based in tripoli has blamed the attack on forces loyal to the self-styled libyan national army it's commanded by the warlord. the l n a house denied any responsibility the u.n. refugee agency meanwhile has said it had warned of the dangers to people in that

particular center. this is a tragedy that was very much preventable just a couple of months ago we called with the urgent if i can ration of people from this specific detention center after a similar airstrike in just 2 of the people inside. no action was taken in that regard people have tragically paid the consequence with their lives to the warden it's of this detention center well known to both sides a of the conflict was known that there were 600 people living inside so there can be no excuse for this having been hit. we also heard from a senior member of the un refugee rights office for libya who is of the view refugee safety should come above everything else. we are deeply shocked by what happened saddened and now the priority is to actually take the people who remain in this detention center to

a safer location as the other 3800 refugees and migrants who are men trapped in this area refugees are coming from conflict from countries in conflict of a have suffered in their home countries they have traveled through the desert under the sun and they have been in the hands of smugglers tortured abuse along the journey and then trying to reach me trying to cross the desert to the mediterranean and then send back and then detained systematically you any opposes the detention of refugees this is why it's important that we move past that we that we find solutions and then we have the help of the international community to help us make this a reality to discuss and to find a way forward. ok switching gears now disney has a new instead of its remake of the children's classic the little mermaid will store a block of actress lee bailey in the lead for all the big debate. after an extensive search it was abundantly clear that halle possesses that rare combination

of spirit heart youth innocence and substance plus a glorious singing voice all the intrinsic qualities necessary to play this iconic role. back in 1809 disney released its of a patient of the famous furry 2 written by the danish author a christian person in the 1st material was blue eyed red haired on white some argue that the new version should stay true to the 89th film but others say up in a black lead as a win for diversity. the actress cast is areal can sing act dance and is beautiful but racists yes that extreme irritation you feel is racism or like mermaids can be black will crabs can talk so we're all stretching here shut up fat box the little mermaid lives on a tropical coral reef with a calypso signal with a strong jamaican accent when you think about it it's bizarre she was white the fos time around there goes my favorite princess can't believe the just 3 my favorite

princess she has a beautiful voice but if she's playing aereo i'm going to be she doesn't fit the look at all could you imagine the uproar of the cast a white actress to play tiana in the live action remake i just don't understand why is this necessary what we got opposing opinion and whether modern diversity should trump the original sentiment when it comes to race. well that what people are trying to do is trying to bring people back to a certain kind of reality that we live in a very diverse society and to try and present as if you like to try and normalize but because what happened before was that we had a society which those people were excluded or if they were presented they were presented as before they were prevented in of course in the translation that which was derogatory to them we bring race to the forefront and make it an issue when it really isn't an issue i think it's a very dangerous precedent and i think it is think it really is not i think it's

really not about the inclusive it is that your other guest discussed discusses i think it's really a leftist agenda to divide us and keep us from working together and i think the people who are over concerned about his presentation are trying to as they said they want something they're used to but any challenge. challenge is if you challenge is what i think in there i don't think they think they should be like a princess can be black and what we want to do weird is not a lie not that so every every single hollywood movie made from now on must have a gay person a jewish person a black person hispanic person and all we probably better represent all that population so let's say a puerto rican person a cuban person and i don't know there are people here from from our other countries too should we should we just make sure now that every single movie has every single race religion color size socio economic level where do you draw the lying if you look at the history of hollywood birth of a nation it started off really badly with the original 1st feature film been

a racist film which used skin color in a negative way of course they should be a good story line but also a film can do multi faceted things and i think we have to move beyond being obsessed by the fact that we live in a society that is proud to support diversity we do live in a society that does have problems around racism in american society has that and i think that the people who are denying. that people are not willing to begin to really talk about challenging it we had some be called dylan roof the walked into a blood shot of the body i'm sorry there's been a number of shootings in on the places these a tragic tragic things we had black president black billionaires all over the place all sorts of hispanic people and in positions of power i would hope that no one would not like this character based on that they might not like the idea of it being imposed they might feel that it's a little bit racist to say oh well we have to have a princess be

a certain color i don't think that makes them a racist i think that makes them somebody that just wants the best person for the job to be chosen whether it's a movie or a corporate venture i think the best person should always be chosen regardless of their skin color or anything else. protesters numbering into the 10s of thousands of once more being taking a stand in hong kong over a proposed extradition bill is the 1st mass action since the territories main legislative building was stormed on july the 1st. oh god i. i mean demonstrations this sunday remained largely peaceful during the day but clashes erupted there after dusk just approaching 11 30 pm the extradition bill being the subject of a series of intensifying rallies over the possible the government says it plans to plug a legal loophole currently prevents it from extradition criminals to certain countries

in the publishing world in general if you want to go through the body it seems we have not yet won that trust. question really good news a short supply problem with everything well wait a minute back up and see how he was all wrong. the vice president of the company michael goldsman has travelled from the united states to on so all questions well he has worked for coca-cola for 21 years he's in charge of global policy and environmental sustainability and he's a french speaker. a middle seat in the ones that really doesn't thanks took on over . very be 20 odd. really so interview is done in french book i could ask. someone to say all done it told us give all 6 suppose human behavior. i think gets me to what they all plastic.
