that this very notion. from. from. from from. this hours headlines stories u.s. secretary of state mike. lines america's strategy the terrorists saying that killing. general. was part of an overall approach. to russia and china. also coming up on the program over i thought i was in french jock hospital workers resigning from administrative jussi claiming the government is failing to provide proper funding for the health sector there.

be no strike for several months hospitals and emergency services. nothing has been the problem. also ahead on the program media nations. u.k. government documents reveal the intelligence services. british news spreading. propaganda during the cold war. may be tuning in from right across the world this hour a welcome to our 2 international my names you know in the in. the u.s. secretary of state painted the assassination of iran's top general. as part of a bigger campaign of the terence is word he says it will also be applied to russia

china picking up the story for us. mike pompei oh the u.s. secretary of state seems to be highlighting the term deterrence as the new buzz word defining u.s. foreign policy reestablishing deterrence real deterrence military deterrence deterrence is hard to establish an easy to lose now the killing of a top foreign general by the united states in a different country is considered now to be an act of deterrence intended to deter behavior on the part of the country or entity that was attacked there's no terrorist except osama bin laden who has more american blood on his hands than did customs with the money but i want to lay this out in context of what we've been trying to do there's a bigger strategy a strategy to this we have reestablished deterrence but we know it's not everlasting that risk remains we are determined not to lose that deterrence in all cases we have to do this we have to do this to defend freedom and liberty around

the world that's the whole point of president trump's work to make our military the strongest it's ever been and now the iraqi prime minister he says that was on a diplomatic mission so was the united states trying to deter him from engaging in peace talks regardless however according to what we've heard solomon is not the only figure who has been targeted in this deterrence campaign by the united states in addition to that we understand that a top figure in yemen a financer of the could force has also been singled out and specified and considered as a target in this way but there are other potential targets on the list this new u.s. foreign policy strategy seems to not only lie to iran but according to my palm pales remarks it also applies to both russia and china we not just in iran but in other places too where american deterrence was weak we watch russia's 2014 occupation of

the crimea china's island building too in the south. see and it's brazen attempt of course american allies undermine to deter us so this strategy for deterrence includes economic isolation of countries diplomatic isolation economic pressure as well as targeted killing of the foreign service sense so is this the new geopolitics deterrence is the phrase now being used to justify it all. moving the program or know in what may prove to be a fatal blow to the 2015 nuclear deal germany france and the united kingdom of triggered a dispute mechanism over iran's alleged failure to abide by the accord a joint commission 15 days to consider the complaint after which it could be referred to the u.n. security council. we have therefore be left with no choice given iran's actions but

to register today are concerns that iran is not meeting its commitments under the j c p o n e and to refer this matter to the joint commission under the resolution mechanism russia has condemned the move seeing it on their minds global security around blasted the trio's intention to open a probe into to around noncompliance and has promised a for a response not everyone's as concerned as the u.k. prime minister barak's johnson plan b. . if you get rid of it let's replace it let's replace it with the troop deal ok that's what we need. and i think that would be a great way for. well the g c peel away which is commonly known as the iran nuclear deal was signed in 2015 by the p 5 countries china france russia united kingdom and united states and also the islamic republic under the accord to run agree to limit

its nuclear activities in exchange for the easing of sanctions but washington poll doll its all of the agreement in 2018 imposing economic penalties against its adversary in the wake of america's killing of general custom salomone iran scaled back on its compliance with the deal. let's move to another story we're closely following today in a sharp rebuke to the french government more than a 1000 doctors and hospital workers have stepped back from their administrative duties they say working conditions in the health sector have been gradually worsening due to a lack of funding and chronic staff shortages taking the pulse of the situation for us or too short of dip into. the moving clued some 600 heads of hospital to parliament and 470 heads of health services and it comes amidst the country's

longest running strike in decades they say that is the doctors that they could no longer watch over service that is in adequate and threatens patient safety. hospitals have been on strike for several months hospitals and emergency services unions have been sounding the alarm but politically nothing has been done that's the problem from the point of view of medical ethics doctors must treat patients we don't have the necessary resources we've been killing our health care system for the past 20 or 30 years we have completely changed our control system at the moment all decisions are taken not by medics but by administrative staff and manages and that has to change i came here from santa go right get humanitarian work so i can tell you that in terms of health care france is becoming like a developing country other issues include a lack of hospital beds for patients and a growing unease it reduced stuffing numbers of hospitals across france now this

move will hit some areas of the country more than others in the 2nd largest city must say almost 50 heads of departments are quitting their demanding the government comes up with a plan to fix the system over what we want is for patients to be properly treated at the optimal cost and is the fission plea is possible we're being asked to reduce staff numbers to make savings so it's a never ending cycle to break the cycle who must give hospitals what they need to continue treating people properly we can make budget cuts but for there we need a centralized national plan health is a national problem and we need to invest money into the system the health minister has though defended the government's position she's previously promised an additional $70000000.00 euros in aid include. a monthly risk premium for start the budget that we have announced of 1500000000 or 3 years will allow hospitals to

renovate themselves to engage new projects to recruit staff where they're needed and open baz where there is need but this hasn't done enough to quell the anger felt by some medical staff so what will this mean for services well they were they will remain doctors offering medical services what they will no longer be is the backbone of the profession these doctors are resigning from essentially management and did ministry 2 roles roles that often receive no extra pay for it means feature hospital projects could become friends and complaints could go unheard their concerns are adding to the discontent in france for 6 weeks a public transport strike has hit services across the country particularly here in paris though many metro lines are now operating partial services while lawyers and teachers of also been striking pension reform plans.

3 days of mobilization have been called by unions this week in a bid to force the government into retreat i'd already some objectives have been achieved the french prime minister has provisionally taken an increase in retirement age off the table but for many unions this concession is simply not enough challenge even ski auty paris. thing in front of thousands of union members and yellow protesters have been rallying in cities against pension reform

in lille people staged a fake funeral for the current system carrying a coffin to the city's opera house. swiss tennis star roger federer self in the climate change bad books of teenage activist credit after she criticized his association with the credit suisse the financial institution has been investing considerably in the search for a new fossil fuel deposits with more eco shimming has become a crucial part of modern reality for trying. do you know gratitude berg by her role as the world's number one a green activist or the number one shaming master well she's really been up to trying to perfect her reputation and both and it's paying off her influences skyrocketing woman of the year in sweden person of the year in the time magazine i mean how many teens do you know that told off presidents and prime ministers like

that we are in the beginning of a mass extinction and what you can talk about isn't money if came to tales of economic growth how do you. an example from just a couple of days ago a single retreat by gretta revived the scandal from 20 and made the man they called the greatest tennis player of all times find excuses for being partners with a bank here are the shaming laws she retreated since 2016 credit suisse has provided 57000000000 to companies looking for new fossil fuel deposits something that is utterly incompatible with climate action roger federer do you endorse this and so roger federer sponsorship deal with the swiss lender was back in the news and the sports all round mr nice guy had to reassure the public he cares for the

environment oh that mighty grow i'll show you more of how her shaming powers stretch far beyond the famous un walls but it's just that for now not everyone's so sure that anyone who deals with banks which give loans to non green industries should be publicly shamed public shaming and taking the right people to have staring at him in a way i think that. stops being human disgraceful but it does. so you want to see it the way he thinks he's allowed to it's a free will say meaning to visit into law. well together yes but it can be a discussion that's hard to say well maybe we should celebrities should be a bit more careful in picking this ponces ecological issues should people people's attention but not by publicly shaming an individual however it seems neither gratitude nor her fellow activists have any intention of scaling some of that shaming down yeah why do it if it works so well so what can you be shamed for

nowadays stay away from anything that house to do with fossil fuels even if you're choosing a bank shame on you if you fly never heard that was a sin well read has been peddling the flight shame movement online for a while now why can't you stop flying on planes it's easy. how about you stay home and take some climate action instead. climate compensation he's the planting of trees enough to excuse your flights while some folks of already tried to paralyze a london airport the world's aviation authorities even trying to stand up for its industry the aviation industry has recognized the climate challenge for many many years. and we've had very tough talking to improve also human. emissions and ultimately to cut our emissions and i don't think anyone should feel

ashamed of flying and certainly not so much industry we support millions of jobs worldwide and we produce the lives of countless millions of people green activists are currently after a german engineering giant siemens for going ahead to fulfill a contract with a coal mine in australia what for now coal or fossil fuels altogether aren't legal right and all makes you wonder what's next what you're going to do when grettir comes for you will it get to the point when miners and their families are booed at for what they do for a living just a short while ago we had at least here in germany eco shaming against people with s.u.v.s. off and on we have it for like people that are taking trips in aircraft seems to be a moving target it seems to go from plastic bags to beef to. the trees to coal mining guess the people are so frustrated they feel they have to do something even

if it's almost irrelevant like in the case of zealand's right now who's accused of making railway signalling equipment which is being used by the mining company i mean that's a pretty. big stretch to go from the zeeman signalling equipment to say that has something to do with the climate problem and the forest fires a growing army of activists would say the whole of mankind has no other choice but to use some of gratis shaming skills if it once a future that there are still probably many of those who wouldn't mind a little more green tolerance from master to newburgh and co. israel says it's not going to withdraw criticism leveled out ukraine over the so-called glorification of far right nationalist it comes after the israeli foreign ministry said it was the moral duty of the world to condemn and anti semitism our

middle east bureau chief policy or brings us more. what we're hearing from israel is a message to ukraine that it will not of the debate that's taking place in kiev over the glorification of individuals during the 2nd world war now the israelis are concerned that some of those individuals who are being glorified by the ukrainian government are people who were responsible for the mess murder of jews during the holocaust people who murdered jews and paul graham's at the same time people who collaborated with the nazis and also anti semitic ideologists of the radical ukrainian national movement now the ukrainian government has responded by saying that this is an internal matter that deals with ukrainian politics and that any kind of criticisms that are coming from israel are essentially counterproductive but the israeli foreign ministry has said as you correctly pointed out that anything that belittles the memory of the holocaust in which 6000000 jews died is something that israel and its allies around the world have both a responsibility and a moral obligation to speak out about preserving the memory of the holocaust the

battle against anti semitism including the group for creation of. murders of jews are not an internal matter of any country now the israeli and polish ambassadors made public letters that they blow to the ukrainian government criticizing those individuals that it was glorifying in response the creating an ambassador to israel said that the revival and preservation of the ukrainian national memory was one of the priorities of this government and that it was really up to experts and historians to have the final say in this whole debate central to the whole conversation is the figure. now many in ukraine still glorify him and regard him as a national hero but he was in actual fact the leader of the radical ukrainian national movement and he was accused and found guilty of the mess muito of jews next week the ukrainian president vladimir who happens to be jewish himself will be

here in israel he will be participating in the holocaust commemorations. many and no doubt this issue will again be addressed. let's turn attention back to all of our top stories russia has condemned germany france and the u.k. for triggering a dispute mechanism over iran's alleged failure to abide by their 2015 nuclear deal . we have therefore been left with no choice given iran's actions but to register today our concerns that iran is not meeting its commitments under the j c p o a and to refer this matter to the joint commission under this resolution mechanism we see no reasons for such a decision we don't exclude that you conceived actions of the euro trio will lead to a new escalation around the. and will make it impossible to revive the implementation of the nuclear deal in its initial terms which the euro trio is apparently having for. yes giving a reaction there from moscow well let's get deeper into the story now i'm happy to

say marco gale search into for international affairs commentator joins us live on the program not everyone appears so concerned though it looks as if british prime minister barak's johnson has a plan b he and fox said that if the joint comprehensive plan of action is dead it should be replaced with a trump deal what might that. the problem for any trump deal that. trump deal is that it would be probably entirely acceptable to the other side because we already know from mike compose speech in 2018 to the heritage foundation in which he unleashed a 12 point plan which resembled the one that austria gave serbia to start the 1st world war well in the modern version of that the us gave its stooges the right to essentially goes unfettered access throughout iran to examine any aspects of iran's military situation from nuclear to any other which in effect means

unfettered access throughout iran also the disarmament of 'd all the shit in iraq in in lebanon removal support for loot seize in yemen essentially the idea that the us has the trump backing team has is to simply reduce iran to an unimportant vassal state and that's not one the iran is likely to accept so deal no deal is mr johnson showing good judgment in his approach to the iran nuclear question it's as if he just says get out i've got my in-tray i've got enough let somebody else deal with it. well there is that there is a bit of irresponsibility about it's been responder's response irresponsible administration for quite a time the they're pulling out of things that taken years to negotiate in the case of the russian missile deal it took decades to negotiate and they said ministration

seems to be pulling out of all that 5 minutes notice and it makes it a very unreliable player on the international stage because things that taken so long to agree can be left or the by ended up 5 minutes notice so you can trust the us to stick to deals that it doesn't agree and the even worse if you send your emissaries to negotiate with the us they might find themselves beheaded by drone missiles as they're all have an official visits to your eye. allies that's the other point it's not even it's a risk to even negotiate with the u.s. let alone to a believe in any deal that you finally arrive at. given the current tensions market is there any chance iran would even be willing to renegotiate the 2015 deal at this stage could it be salvaged by europe. what europe needs to do is to show for the 1st time some benefits to iran from the deal so far it's all been talk talk and the walk walk has been the american extra extraterritorial sanctions which

have sabotaged that same deal and made any benefits to one of the sides absolutely invisible what britain for example could do usefully would be to pay an all debts all the up to $2000000000.00 pounds in today's money for 500 chieftain tanks it never delivered in the seventy's to the shah and which money in ever return to iran after all these decades now that's not trade that would be adept for trade that wasn't done but that would be a good sign if britain for example all of that commitment and its contractual obligations that would mean something for the iranians similarly with the other european powers release some of the funds they've got allocated for humanitarian purposes and other purposes they could also show willy in some financial sense but at the moment there's been nothing none of that for the radians it's all been one way traffic negative traffic initiated by washington and kept 2 by europe more who just your thoughts on this issue and it's

a big one if this situation cannot be resolved will we see around aiming to develop nuclear weapons. i think that's a bogey i think that's a bit of u.s. spin because i don't believe that iran really wants nuclear weaponry i mean. state and religious leaders have said that a nuclear bomb is contrary to islamic values which is not a small thing for theocracy to say as as an official statement and also we have the enormous cost of maintaining a nuclear stockpile which i would also add that were. the unbelievable to happen unbelievable to happen and they decided to have nuclear weaponry it would be visible a mile away a long time away the infrastructure the personnel you couldn't hide that kind of thing and everyone would have a lot of time to do something about it in the unlikely event that they have decided to go that down that road mark always good to have you on the program sharing your thoughts marco get international affairs commentator live in london. thank you.

it has been revealed but the reuters news agency received the equivalent of millions of pounds in the 1960 s. and seventy's from british intelligence services to spread. propaganda it's also come to light that britain's national broadcaster was complicit in the subterfuge. edwards lifts the lid on the story for their. big deal with simple funding for avoid to sabbaths it in the middle east and latin america in exchange for well political influence this groups were sure that the british based news agency could and would provide exactly what had majesty's government required then you need declassified documents have just been revealed painting the picture right here at the u.k.'s national archives. government's interest should be well served by the new arrangement this influence would flow at the top level from reuters willingness

to consult and to listen to views expressed on the results of its work but how do you fund such a mission if you don't want to do in the open nor in the public eye well via the independent public broadcaster the b.b.c. of course and it was easy the b.b.c. paid by and had subscriptions and then later on 7 the british government would have paid the b.b.c. via compensation however it didn't come cheap in fact it cost $350000.00 pounds which in today's money is millions you see britain wanted to be big but not that big because if it was to be too profitable well then the propaganda stories would get lost amongst the others. in going for profitable service will not be tempted to put in popular items and leave out the political material which is what we want we all know about the icing on the cake argument but if only the icing is solved and the cake left our purposes are not served the most the minds behind this were a shadowy section of the far enough information research department created in 1948

. goal was to create and spread anti soviet material during the cold war but having the news agencies integrity and reputation this is adamant there's no way with such activity today and says at the time it was simply the norm and it really wasn't as bad as it seems. many news organizations receive some form of state subsidy after world war 2 but the arrangement in 1989 was not in keeping with our trust principles and we would not do this today so you see the truth always comes out and now the national archives under the instruction of the foreign office is gradually releasing historical records that expose dirty deeds of the past but it seems like former deals have left a shadow of what's supposed to be those at the forefront of objectivity independence and freedom from bias shouted with daschle ought to. well i spoke to director of the organization for propaganda studies dr appears robinson who told me

of the same situation exists today between the mainstream media and the security services. well i'm sure it would be absolutely naive to think that they were very soon work processes that work today even though the site is now the no sure that there's been a huge amount of propaganda in the last 20 years. sure it's the war on terror. and what we see it among conflicts syria and iran we see an immense mark propaganda going on and of course in terms of this actually sort of very good direct manipulation you just have to scour absolute you take you to the u.k. where you've seen this sort of motion the independent charity receiving large sums of government money in creating classes of journalists and academics you know orders that are basically sure the russian agenda. and now it's a very crude and very obvious example it's become. quite long hours in the last 20

years you seem to be initiated by western governments to be underpinned by a propaganda reading tony blair mentions i'm told. they want to bring you know to the castle in the original spain where a huge explosion at a petrol chemical plant there claimed the life of one person and injured at least 6 others 2 we believe are right now in a critical condition the blast in the port city of tire of call that is described as having created a mushroom cloud locals have been told to stay indoors while the authorities assess the situation the cause of the instant is not known at this stage. staying within that region exile leader karla's puts them on ses he wants. returned to spain he fled to belgium after responder's court issued a european arrest warrant for going to independence referendum in council in 27

being before any return however he need to surance as of immunity from arrest through his new status m.e.p. for spain speaking at the e.u. parliament in stroudsburg he remain defiant in his stance against madrid. so naturally there is a member state of european union spain which doesn't respect the rule of law. east european. so we are here you know to to remember and to claim the european union should be involved in a solution based on dialogue doing politics and respecting the will the people and the will of the people on your side in a free referendum. or the polish supreme court has issued an account of the case against the former leader it sees the offense in question have nothing to do the month's work as

a parliamentarian but are focused on his actions in years that far.
