news outlets into spreading anti soviet propaganda during the cold war. are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our chief international and sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us now the u.s. secretary of state has painted the assassination of iran's top general custom sort of money as part of a bigger campaign of deterrence he said wall so be applied to russia and china and comments. mike pompei oh the u.s. secretary of state seems to be highlighting the term deterrents as the new buzz word defining u.s. foreign policy reestablishing deterrence real deterrence military deterrence deterrence is hard to establish an easy to loose 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
8:02 pm
deter behavior on the part of the country or entity that was attacked there is no terrorist except osama bin laden who has more american blood on his hands than did customs of 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 trying to 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
8:03 pm
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 tails 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 watched russia's 2014 occupation of the crimea china's island building 2 in the south china sea and its brazen attempt to coerce 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 citizens so is this the new geopolitics deterrence is the phrase now being used to justify it all.

russia has condemned germany france and the u.k. for triggering a dispute mechanism over iran's alleged failure to abide by the 2015 nuclear deal a joint commission now has 15 days to consider the complaint after which it could be referred to the u.n. security council. we have therefore been 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 a and to refer this matter to the joint commission under dispute resolution mechanism we see no reasons for such a decision we don't exclude that ill 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. iran has also blasted the e.u. trios intention to open a probe into tehran's noncompliance and promised a firm response but not everyone appears so concerned because the u.k.'s prime
8:05 pm
minister boris johnson has a plan b. if you get rid of it let's replace it and let's replace it with the trump deal ok that's what we need to see and i think that would be a great way forward. b.j. c.p.o. way which is commonly known as the iran nuclear deal was signed in 2015 by major powers and the islamic republic under the accord tehran agreed to limit its nuclear activities in exchange for the easing of sanctions but washington pulled out of the agreement in 2018 imposing economic penalties against its adversary in the wake of america's killing of general cut him some money iran scaled back on its compliance with the deal international affairs commentator marco gothic is quite concerned about a trump deal replacing the j c p o a. the problem for any deal that neo cold trump deal is that it would be probably an entirely acceptable to the other side the idea that the us has
8:06 pm
the trump backing team has is to simply reduce. an important vassal state and that's not why iran is likely to accept so deal no deal 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 exports oriel extraterritorial sanctions which have sabotaged that same deal i made any benefits to one of the sides absolutely invisible 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 to by europe. the sharp rebuke to the french government more than a 1000 doctors and hospital workers have stepped stepped back from their
8:07 pm
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 whose artificial dubinsky. 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. rules 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 but 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
8:08 pm
moment all decisions are taken up by medics or by administrative staff and manages and that has to change i came here from santa go get humanitarian work so i can tell you that in terms of health care france is becoming like the 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 schools or is what we want is for patients to be properly treated at the optimal cost and is efficiently 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
8:09 pm
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 with 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
