today. this cowardice with serious indications of his radio role shows desperate woman gring of perpetrators. iran calls on international community and especially e.u. to end their shameful double standards and condemn this act of states. tara iran's accusations have yet to evoke a response from israel, but this isn't exactly a unique situation. many times over the past 10 years, iran's nuclear scientists have been the victims of mysterious assassinations and to run is almost always convinced israel was behind it.
7:07 pm
israel's refusal to comment on the attacks has been common to all though in 2018, the country's prime minister claims the recently assassinated fuckers a day wasn't just a scientist know the head of an alleged nuclear weapons program in number. the name focus of the so here's is directed right here. and he says, the generally is to announce the closure project. but then he adds special activities. you know what that is. special activities will be carried out under the title of scientific know how development and in fact,
7:08 pm
this is exactly what iran proceeded to do. however, has always said it enriches uranium for peaceful purposes only. we are not seeking nuclear weapons, even if the g.c. pioli collapses, we won't seek nuclear weapons. if the safeguard agreement is destroying, we won't seek nuclear weapons. if i relations with the i a is good or bad, he won't seek nuclear weapons. as in years before, experts on both sides of the barricades are not seeing eye to eye. of course this assassination is illegal and it's an act of war. when that see a spy is arrested in iran or on a terrorist is arrested in iran, immediately western human rights organizations, governments, the media pundits, experts all say that they're innocent as if they have some sort of insider information. yet when these attacks are carried out, these attacks are carried out with the help of spies with the help of terrorists, and they gloat over it. and instead of condemning it, they go and you know,
7:09 pm
they try to make him look as if he's evil, these lows will respond. so you cannot put the blame on these will everything, disposable in the middle east and in prison, these bodies and lead them identify them. and if he is behind these, let's see if those people are really israelis right now. very much in 2015, iran even agreed to limit its nuclear activities for the lifting of u.s. sanctions. it was part of the jay c.p.o. a deal between tehran, washington, russia, and other world powers the same deal that donald trump scrapped as the war steel ever in 2018. and to the great praise of israel, i went through how the last administration was disastrous iran. if i didn't terminate that stupid, the deal was a disaster. the agreement that was signed was a disaster. trump's withdrawal drew

a whirlwind of criticism throughout the globe and relations between the u.s. and iran are now at rock bottom. iran has even proclaimed to the un. it has the, right to defend itself from provocations, both from israel and the u.s., but with joe biden preparing to take the throne. european powers have already sat down with him to rehash the deal with germany specifically urging all parties to avoid an escalation at any cost. a few weeks before the new u.s. administration takes office. it is important to preserve the scope for talks with iran, so that the dispute over iran's nuclear program can be resolved through negotiations . we therefore urge all parties to refrain from any steps that could lead to a further escalation of the situation. by himself even said he's, considering diplomacy would offer to iran a credible pause. but to diplomacy, if iran returns to strict compliance with the nuclear deal, the united states would rejoin the agreements as a starting point for following negotiations. with our allies, we will work to strengthen and extend the nuclear deals provisions while also
7:11 pm
addressing other issues of concern. while iran definitely has plenty of concerns, especially after a 2nd top official, was assassinated in just one year. but who knows, maybe washington's new look, could rebuild the ruins of the j. c.p.o. a and even under a biden administration. that the purpose of u.s. foreign policy in the middle east is to regain hedging monye over the entire region, including iran, which it lost in the islamic revolution, which overthrow overly that dictator, the shah. and so they would, the game is hedge of money dominance. and whether it's true or biden, that they, that is the game higher. also this week joe biden announced his top cabinet picks for the white house. he said the world is looking to his team to restore america's role as a global leader. together these public servants will restore america globally
7:12 pm
scoble leadership and its moral leadership without engaging in needless military conflicts and our adversaries in check and cherished at bay. while team trump is not giving up all hope of overturning the result of the election. it has now given the green light to allow a transition to begin. indeed, a clearer picture is emerging of what abided ministration will look like. and as it turns out, many of the faces are a blast from the past. america's foreign policy needs to be properly fixed after 4 years of diplomatic rock says one who says the man whose own white house mistakes as donald trump saw them were thorley taken care of by the outgoing administration . the time has come for the u. turn to go full circle. there's been some damage done. that is going to take some time to dig ourselves out of. but there's no doubt that joe's got the right people
7:13 pm
to do it. the man taking over the oval office in 2021 was president obama's number 2. so who are the best people to set these apparent wrongs? right. well, the former deputies of obama's team, of course, how easy, i'm really starting to get that joke that barack scott himself a 3rd term. let's take a look at the collective portrait of a deputy dream team. one squad member clearly thinks it was the meddling russians who god, donald trump, elected in the 1st place, me take sullivan biden, speak for national security adviser. this was a moment where we realized that the russians had decided that they were going to actively interfere in the u.s. election. that they were going to intensively work to undermine the pillars of u.s. democracy. and that they were going to try to defeat hillary clinton. if it wasn't for the russians, if you know what i mean, this career boost would have come much earlier. after all, mr. sullivan served as an advisor for the hillary clinton campaign. and yes,
7:14 pm
he worked as a national security advisor to the vice president biden. and here we're looking at someone who was all for upping u.s. involvement in syria. tony blinken, the new man taking care of america's foreign relations in syria. it's tougher, it's longer. it's going to take time to build up the syrian opposition, but we believe it can be done. our commitment is to help them to support them, to give them the training, to give them the equipment to give them the air, the power, to give them the advisor. and it all comes back to hillary, who, infamously said this about libya. we came, we saw he died, right. as you may have guessed, mr. blinken was among the star democrat diplomats who love the idea of getting libya sorted through intervention. his c.v. highlights include deputy secretary of state deputy national security advisor and national security advisor to the vice president. so moving on with deputy
7:15 pm
dream team, you simply don't deserve the position of intelligence director under joe biden. if you haven't been to a big name, let's say in the cia, under obama, without further ado. here's avril haynes, the former deputy cia director also happened to serve as the deputy national security advisor right after tony blinken. some gives ms. hanes credit for making america's drone wars more transparent. her critics though, paint her with a different brush focusing on her role as the architect of the drone program. one which is associated with scores of civilian deaths. a slight stain on the record, isn't it? any great team deserves at least a few qualified veterans. this one is no exception. take john kerry, he's getting his comeback chance to the job of special presidential envoy for climate goes to the former secretary of state. there with me for
7:16 pm
a bit of feedback on the team from someone familiar, the incoming administration could not have chosen back to pursue now for the foreign policy and national security teams. ok, at least there are no surprises. and the world knows what to expect. still to come this hour construction of a key gas pipeline linking russia to europe is to push ahead. despite the u.s. sanctions that are much more after a short break. this is our key international in the weakling. the foreign policy team of a potential buy in ministration is being counted by the liberal media. we tell you why all this should be for a fine also, there's a lot of talk of a great reset and build back better looking back on bode well for the future.

7:19 pm
supposed partners. actually, this behavior reminds me of the matthew, matthew c, come to the restaurants and say, we must protect you. but if you don't pay for this, we will smash all your places. and it's the same thing here. the americans say they protect us from the russians. but in fact, we don't want this protection. we want to trade with the russians. we want russian gas, and then they say, if you don't let us protect you, we will kill you. in other words, they impose sanctions on companies, threaten them with economic collapse, and this is what's actually happening. but we must reject such methods, simply objecting to them is pointless. only real action will help the kremlin has questioned washington's motives in trying to block nord stream to spokesman. dmitri peskov called it a display of unfair competition, and north stream 2 will pump gas from russia to germany through the baltic sea once completed, it can supply 26000000, european homes. washington sees it as a threat to european energy security and has urged the e.u.

7:21 pm
a part of the future energy mix of germany and to ensure that supply we need to. and i do believe that there are enough people in the german federal government that understand the vital importance of this project to make it through to the end. the u.k. has been slammed for holding migrants in prison like conditions at a disused to army barracks. activists want the side closed, saying it flouts covert rules, while those inside have had to sign confidentiality agreements are to try to edwards dusty as more even if we thought they would see why you don't think it's like that. why do you think about it? so there's something wrong government stands accused of trying to cover up the problem. the home office introduced a gagging clause in the form of a confidentiality waiver, centuries silencing visitors from speaking out about what they see inside the
7:22 pm
barracks. my efforts to talk to people on the inside of the barracks proved futile as long as security was around. so we just arrived here at napier barracks and just as we go here, a man came out of his window and he started screaming help out. so he pointed and just overhead, we came over here and the security man prevented him. and as you can see, the security guard is still there and it seems like he is calling for more. but why can't they speak to us? you want to know why don't you let them speak to us if they want to speak to us, they can speak to us. at the same time, i need to talk to you the full minute trip. a snake pit barracks in folkston in kent has recently been turned into an assessment and dispersal facility that houses around $400.00 of saddam seek has all men, some of whom have made their way to the u.k. across the english channel. the government is obligated to find accommodation for asylum seekers while the claims are being processed,
