sound goes down so does journal. and where he goes there might one day be forced to follow we know how the case is going it's going extremely badly for the u.s. government and the british government the tragedy is that probably won't make any difference at all. over it or not world leaders are getting ready for the 75th united nations general assembly which is being held virtually this year and washington's move to unilaterally reimpose un sanctions on iran's already dominating the agenda as caleb maupin reports. the 75th united nations general assembly in new york city is certainly unconventional and as it's being held virtually with travel restrictions imposed due to the coded 19 pandemic now despite the fact that it's basically a cyber gathering with very few people on the premises of the united nations there
6:21 am
has been no shortage of drama the week began with the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o imposing new sanctions on the islamic republic of iran these are the sanctions that were lifted after the 2015 nuclear deal however the united states is taking the unilateral move of restoring those sanctions or actions today or warning that should be heard worldwide no matter who you are if you violate the u.n. arms embargo on iran your wrists and shoes the country that's isolated today is not tonight it states but rather iran by these actions we have made very clear that every member state in the united nations has a responsibility to enforce these sanctions now other nations have denounced this unilateral move from the united states and voiced strong disapproval the united states pretty much stands alone at the united nations when it comes to their skirt standoff with iran today we can see the maximum pressure policy of the u.s.

6:23 am
many corners of the globe all eyes will be on the u.n. general assembly now tuesday not only is iranian president hassan rouhani and u.s. president donald trump expected to speak but we're also expecting to hear from russian president vladimir putin turkish head of state era won and french president mccraw speeches by heads of state are expected to continue throughout the week as this is the big week of the u.n. general assembly and of course held virtually this year due to pandemic and health concerns this latest play by the u.s. only reinforces what his traditional allies in europe. and even what rivals you might say in russia and china they regard this as another indication of the on trustworthiness of the u.s. to maintain any agreement it makes the u.s.
6:24 am
has walked away from strategic arms limitation agreements with russia the u.s. has quit the w.h.o. the us walked away from the j c p o a. so they the traditional allies of the usa they are reluctant to enter into any further agree. so therefore i will say yes indeed the u.s. has lost a lot of credibility and has succeeded only in isolating itself are from its former allies and friends. is some who to digest the world's richest one percent calls double the carbon pollution of half the world's population according to a new york firm report it's been a long time coming to the 25 year study found the mega wealthy is carbon budget was also higher than the entire population of the e.u. put together if left unchecked the emissions would be enough to increase the
