live from moscow thanks for joining us on our team. thanks for being with us this hour. a controversy on the 2020 campaign rally president donald trump has been at it again this time heaping praise on protesters in iran and now supporting the united states. have you see what's happening in. the protests throughout this. thread think put this big american on the street and the already it's thousands and thousands of ready as we're supposed to walk on a trampoline. and beat the hell out of it every one of them with around. a truck referred to this for you can see of students appearing to avoid trampling
12:02 am
on the u.s. or israeli flags though the president said every protester avoid walking on the stars and stripes there were several who did. and since the accidental downing of a passenger plane in iran last week both pro and anti government demonstrations have been staged in the capital to run those against say the admittance an apology for the tragedy isn't enough while those backing the ministrations say the u.s. should bear some responsibility for stirring tensions in the region the government itself has also accused washington of exploiting the airliner incidents which left all $176.00 on board dead now the regional crisis escalated after washington killed a top iranian general in a drone strike at the start of the year initially the united states justified it claiming that to seem sort of mahdi presented an imminent national security threat there now the u.s. secretary of state is painting it as part of a bigger campaign of the terrorists and what composes they did terrence will also

be applied to russia and china are to scale up more pain picks up the story. in u.s. foreign policy buzz words are everything administrations love to have a single term they can use in order to explain their international actions so let's review some of the greatest hits to be ready for preemptive action a reset in relations between the united states and russia might bomb peo seems to be rolling out a new one when defending the actions of the white house in dealing with international adversaries of the united states mike pompei ohs new favorite word seems to be deterrence reestablishing deterrence real deterrence military deterrence deterrence is hard to establish an easy to loose so according to the white house and its surrogates the killing of top iranian general qassam solomonic was necessary as part of this deterrence strategy but want to lay this out in context of what we've been trying to do there's a bigger strategy
12:04 am
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 but the iraqi prime minister has a different version of events according to the iraqi prime minister soleimani was on a diplomatic mission he was trying to make peace when he was ruthlessly cut down furthermore reports seem to indicate that so mahdi was not the only official to be targeted reports now show that a different iranian general was also in their sights but the strike was unsuccessful so who else could now be on the list as the united states claims it has the right to assassinate top iranian general extrajudicial lee and explain later well mike pompei o has thrown not only iran but also russia and china into the mix we saw 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 too in the south
12:05 am
china sea and its brazen attempts to coerce american allies undermine to deterrence so if the united states. dislike shield it can pressure you economically diplomatically isolate you or brutally assassinate your own this is geopolitics in the age of deterrence mask scum and asked this idea of supremacy that we we have you know this is you can call it american supremacy that we can do whatever we want and it's up to us to decide who is a threat or not this is really really disturbing and very dangerous i think and it's not normal 2 year does come an artful somebody who is running the state department this is extremely disturbing and i'm very disappointed that political class is not speaking out against this. crazy idea that we can go ahead and just kill anyone we don't like it doesn't mean people are not guilty of things but if we take this principle and this. approach to every nationality to every

country we are going to have a really really mess and i want to. iran's dismissing moves by germany france and britain who triggered the so-called dispute mechanism over iran's failure to abide by the 2050 nuclear deal now it starts a 30 day period to resolve the problem after which the matter could be referred to the u.n. security council to reinstate sanctions. we have therefore been left with no choice given iran's actions but to register today our concerns that iran is not meeting its commitment we do this in good faith with the overall kingwood jet took of preserving the j c p o a the measure by the 3 european countries is a passive action taken from a position of weakness iran will respond to any infringement ill will and non-constructive measures seriously decisively and in an appropriate manner we don't exclude that you conceived actions of the euro trio will lead to
12:07 am
a new escalation around the. and the statement expresses some hope and intention to save the nuclear deal not all leaders are overly concerned british prime minister seems to think there's a viable plan b. . 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. of a nuclear deal so-called the joint comprehensive plan of action was signed in 2015 by iran and other major world powers the agreement was to see tehran limit its nuclear activities in exchange for the easing of sanctions washington though pulled out in 2018 and swiftly imposed economic penalties iran then began scaling back its compliance that after the u.s. slaughtered to iran's most powerful general. international affairs commentator marco grassroots has reservations about a hard fought accord replaced by
12:08 am
a trump deal. the problem for any trump deal the. trump deal is that it will be probably an entirely acceptable to the other side the idea that the us has that trump backing team has is to simply reduce. an important vassal state and that's not what 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 experts oriel extraterritorial sanctions which have sabotaged that same deal and made any benefits to one of the sides absolutely invisible similarly with the other european powers release some of the funds they 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.
12:09 am
another us election and another russian hacking scandal a cyber security firm in the us claimed that the ukrainian gas company at the center of donald trump's impeachment was hacked by russian military agents artie's eagles none of looks at who's behind the latest report. meeting old friends there are a few things that feel better not any old friends the ones you have barely heard from for years who then turn up at your front door with drinks food and great memories it's a joy anyone who's followed america's 2016 election and is following this one can now be a part of ukrainian company barisan russia's hakon bridge made russian military hackers the russians could be searching for a potential embarrassing material on the bidens the same kind of information that mr trump wanted from ukraine russian military hackers successfully targeted or race not president trump donald trump down. cranium president selenski russia is going

12:11 am
had fired donald trump then asked the ukrainian president to look into this so bryza is at the center of the ongoing impeachment scandal in other words a century confessing to the current ethical question meeting that he urged the ukrainians to investigate joe biden his attorney knew the scandal involving the president trump asked officials in ukraine to investigate joe biden's president trump repeated attempts to get ukraine and now trying to interfere in the 2020 alexion by investigating job 100 bided the allegation that the russians had brás most comes from a firm called area one a firm with a mission. this is a message to all the houses out there in the world is up there there is no place for you in fishing it is civil society area one is the only silicon valley
12:12 am
company that. as being allowed to work with 2020 presidential candidates which it does big time we have a tiered pricing system with a little to no cost here for non-profits schools small businesses or political candidates and a little more than a year ago some candidates came to us and said we don't want a repeat of 20162 of its co-founders have n.s.a. background and one of them donated to democratic candidates in this presidential race blag there she was who used to work for crowd strike the company that led the 2016 russia hiking crusade whatever you mention russian cackling 2060 election 2020 alexion something happens internally where people's brains turn off and you can hear a collective oh not a given not again biden must have said oh no not ukraine
12:13 am
oh my god that's us that's what that's what we did so no what better way for joe biden to deflect the information from him and his son is to say russia did it excuse me before what russia did is what russia did as you say is it true media. promotion improbable gay should all of this russia a bad. image it's still it's it's everywhere so i i say here we go again another russian. so it's fine for the 4th of july turkey for the thanksgiving and now russia harker's for the election season because naturally all dogs aren't good with new tricks. it's been revealed that the reuters news agency received the equivalent of millions of pounds in the sixty's and seventy's from british intelligence services
12:14 am
that spurred the soviet propaganda to come to light that britain's national broadcaster was complicit in that subsidy audi's shot it was that steve lifts the lid on the story further. the deal with simple funding for avoid to services 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 her majesty's government required the newly 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 well it was easy the b.b.c. paid by and hard subscriptions and then later run 7 the british government to pay
12:15 am
the b.b.c. by 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 sold and the cake left purposes are not served the most the minds behind this were a shadow a section of the far enough information research department created in 1988. goal was to create and spread anti soviet material during the cold war but has it damage the news agencies integrity and reputation well russia is adamant that there's no way it would engage in 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
12:16 am
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. ocurred. director of the organization for propaganda studies told us one of the news media's primary objective is to hold power to account. government always make that claim in context the major conflicts and cold war what we're trying to do is to get the truth to the public and trying to ensure the public have truth from asian you know it's not reliable actors in terms of telling the truth which is one of the reasons
12:17 am
why you know one is strong independent media to work out. so really so the defense is kind of action didn't sound. you just can't cross state governments to tell the truth especially. and when you have the kind of propaganda that is underway what suckers ultimately outcomes standing and ready to help with democracy. elsewhere in europe deep divisions have emerged in the german chancellor's alliance party in bavaria with local elections approaching a poll has revealed that almost half of all people in the reader with local elections approaching a poll has revealed that almost half of all people in the region would be against a muslim or 50 percent of that that is that would be made of the christian social union party voters the scandal has seen a muslim candidate resign from the race you to resistance from his own colleagues artie's peter oliver has the story mayor all elections in the german state of
12:18 am
bavaria raising questions about islamophobia in the regional wing of angela merkel's ruling coalition then assad here had been a candidate for the christian social union but the prospect of a muslim heir sore protest from some party members so he is decided to drop out of the running when some party members said they don't want to muslim as a man i was initially disappointed they're not ready yet i have to accept that they should have clarified that in advance there is no tolerance i'm very sorry indeed disappointed. this is hugely embarrassing for the c.s.u. mr psion feeling he couldn't stand as a candidate based on his faith has drawn sharp criticism from party grandees i think it is fundamentally wrong to exclude a candidate because of his beliefs if he is committed to overall views especially at a time when dialogue between the world's religions is so urgently needed something
12:19 am
about must not happen the news that mr sign would be pulling out of the race prompted polling across the state of bavaria which showed that almost every other person would have an issue to some degree with the mayor of their city or community being of the islamic faith with over a quarter saying they would definitely have an issue when the polling data was broken down to voter preference on surprisingly supporters of the anti immigration a.f.d. overwhelmingly were against the muslim air but just a touch and a half of c.s.u. voters held the same view the party faithful putting out a very different message to that on the bavarian interior ministry's website the ministry run by the christian social union we want a culture of togetherness so that people with foreign roots have the desire and the opportunity to get involved both at work and in the local community then assad says he will continue to support the c.s.u.
12:20 am
while senior party figures have gone out of their way to show him support the attitude of the grass roots in the christian social union shows that in the conservative state of bavaria at least some germans are not ready or not willing to accept people from the islamic faith representing them in politics that is sure to leave more than a few of the upper echelons in the party red faced at the attitudes of their supporters while germany bills itself as open to multiculturalism well if you look at the very air then we can say definitively. after what has happened that's. why the government there speaks of all actually and having different religions living together really well it doesn't really work if the majority of the population doesn't want to have a long vision. specially in the area but also on the other germany one of the biggest parties is called the christian party so it's right in the name of the
12:21 am
party that religion and the christian religion place a specific role for them. and we spoke to christian democratic union member. who's been nominated him and he's nominated himself for the buddhist dog elections he stressed the constitution in germany doesn't hold back muslim politicians in the country. we need to to only say that to sit today look to talk together sit in one table with a different to fuck around there's nothing saying or constitutions that there is no one allowed to have a position or in the politics or government if he is that was somewhat wrong was that nothing could have been like this in all of you know a constitution we have a budget very bad it studio and we don't want to put it be this history we are knowledgeable about the country and we need to live all together and there is such a site so that by adding more of the book wadia need to think about it on the
12:22 am
a need to open a discussion now to it for all the people that are not to make just the 7th day of all just that we are 11 country but as a part of our country i want to see where is this you know if not if someone has a politics with the muslim religion we have a lot of people who are that we have a lot of judgment muslims they are in the security service we have a local in the board as we. continue to do want to read events so what is the problem would be the politics we having also local people with a different package on from what you only do in this country are they ought to be spent on. well it's going to be we should be we need to know we are dealing. with a petrochemical plant in spain's catalonia region has killed one person and injured at least 8 others one worker is still missing and this happened in the city. at about 6 40 pm local time residents were initially want to stay indoors your photos
