only true support from the dominican republic while russia and china vetoed the draft and other members abstained a 10 year embargo does expire next tell you more pain has more details. well the resolution put forward by the united states would have extended the arms embargo against iran now france germany and other countries have been very vocal about the fact that they oppose the united states' decision to unilaterally withdraw from the iran nuclear agreement and furthermore they oppose putting new sanctions on iran now in the lead up to the vote at the u.n. security council u.s. diplomats were very adamant that they felt this arms embargo must be extended here's some of what we heard i call upon all security council members to wake up to the real world implications of allowing this arms embargo to lapse family or to extend the arms embargo would make a mockery of that sacred responsibility and which the united nations with crédit
10:19 am
now prior to the vote in which this resolution failed mike taylor said the united states feels that if this arms embargo is not extended as it was not that the united states will impose these snap back mechanism in the iran nuclear deal and snap back the sanctions on iran this is mike papantonio the u.s. secretary of state i want to as i said i want to be 2 kids who are deeply aware how this happened is an option that's available to the united states and we're going to do everything within america's power to ensure that that arms embargo is extended and i'm confident that we will be successful now the snap back mechanism in the iran nuclear agreement was essentially put in place so that if iran were to violate the j c p o a they would then face the penalty of an immediate snapback of the sanctions of this will in some of the next confrontation which is about the united states seeking to impose so-called snapback inspections that are you know part of the
10:20 am
joint comprehensive program of action which are to be implemented if iran is found to be in noncompliance iran of course is not in noncompliance and the united states is no longer a party to this agreement. but the united states is going to seek to take advantage of bad writing of the agreement to impose its will which will soon be a crisis in the security council this vote is a meaningless vote it's really so you know the larger confrontation now currently mike pompei o. is in vienna talking with officials from the international atomic energy agency they say that iran has fully complied with the nuclear deal i'm not violated my client they owe says however it doesn't really seem to be a doubt the nuclear deal anymore this isn't about the j.c.b. away this is about whether the world is going to permit iran to buy and sell weapons systems again it's that clear it's that simple so it seems that the trumpet ministrations policy of imposing maximum pressure on iran and ripping up the iran
10:21 am
nuclear deal was essential put 2 of folks at the body that meets the united nations and it seems that this policy of the trump white house seeking to escalate tension with iran was overwhelmingly rejected the united states as you know has a maximum pressure campaign on iran they want the iranian government at least the way they put it to change its behavior radically in the region this is part of a much larger u.s. policy to help its friends saudi arabia israel and to her next enemies and to keep america paramount in the persian gulf the source of so much of the world's oil 50 percent of the world's oil supplies this is about control of the international energy supply. the creator of the pulpit online gang fortnight assuming apple and got off to war from the from that app store at the key to the tech giants of seeking to control markets and avanti competitive practices and i

can support it all say we're nice this whole well invidia. apple has blocked fortnight from the app store removing everyone's ability to install and update the game on i os devices keeping prices high so they can collect 30 percent of your payments and this blocking fortnights in order to prevent epic from passing on the savings apple has become what it once railed against a behemoth seeking to control markets block competition and stifle innovation for nice developers had recently allowed in game purchases to be made directly from epic games at a lower cost but this violated the terms of service of both apple and google who receive 30 percent from each transaction the update that led both tech giants to
10:23 am
ban they get. the fact that their business interests now lead them to push for a special arrangement does not change the fact that these guidelines create a level playing field for all developers and make the store safe for all users for game developers who choose to use the play store we have consistent policy is that a fair to developers and keep the store safe for users or for not remains a variable on android we can no longer made it available on play because it violates our policies. political analyst says that the case does highlight the monopoly enjoyed by the tech giants because apple and google to a lesser extent have such a pervasive. and monopolistic hold on the market even something as huge as foreign aid is having to wage this battle one can only imagine how hard it is for smaller developers to innovate and to then get a hold in this market the chairman of the united states congress says antitrust
10:24 am
committee david cillian has actually called the 30 percent highway robbery and saying that apple is using this in order to bully smaller developers into falling in line but they say that they try to keep a legit level playing field for small little birds and large golfers alike but apple given preferential treatment just certain companies such as amazon one of the most well has companies in the entire world which is now expected they have to pay to have about $30.00 they only paid 15 percent and this also isn't the 1st time that people have tried to call attention to apple share of the market but this is the 1st time it's been publicized since the 1st time that it's really being. shown as a genuine threat to the way that things have been carried out. donald trump's former lawyer has released the forward for my new book boss a year ago michael cohen is found guilty of fraud and perjury and is sentenced to 3
