the middle east. that's why he's embarked in a historic rebuilding of our military, that he believes very much of the reagan doctrine of peace through strength, that the best way to prevent a war is to be strong. and with that background he has directed us to exploit to the greatest degree possible the economic and diplomatic tools at our disposal. and so that brings us to the always-overarching top uk of iran. the maximum pressure campaign that the president developed to change the regime change in iran was hardly impulsive or not well-informed. when we came into office 2 1/2 years ago -- it's gone awfully quickly -- we were still participant in the jcpoa. and we renewed twice the congressional waivers required to remain in the jcpoa the first six months so that we could study the issue and develop our policy, the second six months to give our friends and allies a chance to potentially revise the deal into a condition -- into a state that the president would find acceptable. when that did not happen,

statistics show 60% of the world's refugees are from the middle east. syria contributed 5.5 million refugees. >> and the next one is about interdependence of the regional countries and the economic aspect. asia and north africa, their interdependence is only 10 things. east asia is 51%. how can they have shared destiny with no shared interest? in this aspect i would say in the future there's one more problem. west asia and north africa will flood to other parts and not inside the middle east. the middle east will have more security problems. so what can we do? i am afraid that china and the u.s. need to make some contribution. china is the second to the largest trading partner of 11 countries including iran. china is the second largest investor in the middle east next only to europe. china has 1 million ex-patriots and we have 200,000 chinese. it is very huge. and china has very important oil and natural gas interests, about 200 million tons of oil from the middle east representing 50% of china's oil. in that case we can say china has substantial economi

oil from the middle east. in that case we can say china has substantial geo-economic interests while u.s. has a geopolitical interest in the area. the u.s. has 67,000 troops in 12 countries in the middle east. about 1800 in this area and also as we mentioned, china has a logistic space in djibouti. i was wondering whether the two sites can cooperate in the future, you may be wondering is that a kind of wishful thinking? i think it's possible. first of all look at djibouti. china, france and japan as well they are coexisting quite well in the past several years for anti-piracy. as mentioned we talked to this partnership in the paper and china's partnership with u.s. allies are so popular. for example, israel. to specific countries, jordan, morocco and egypt are all u.s. allies and are also chinese chinese. so, china's economic development for this country will be conducive to u.s. interest. so from this perspective i was wondering, can we say, there are three different ideas for peace in the middle east. we fig

image of the middle east. i would most definitely say we don't see these as client states that we are just working with transactionally. it is a challenge because the region is so volatile and there are so many different centers of power, so to speak. but our image is really to try to build our security architecture with those countries that we can work with, that overtime they work successfully together to sure up their own defenses and see that cooperation with each other is better than fighting each other. i will say from a d.o.d. perspective, we just come out with the tools that we have. you know, a point that we like to make and i actually think it's true is that if you can build a certain amount of respect for security services and ministries of defense that are run appropriately and are non-corrupt and employ the right people with the right qualifications, the militaries can be exemplars for the rest of society in terms of the way government is supposed to work. it's a challenge. it's hard, but that is

into the middle east thank you. all right to a different aspect of the pentagon's adventures around the world though in the way the effect the environment around us a study has revealed that the u.s. military produces more greenhouse gases than the entire nation such sweden or denmark most emissions are directly due to defense related consumption from the use of jet diesel fuel double quarter scott the story. forget single use straws and plastic bags there's a much bigger problem wreaking havoc on mother nature its war the pentagon's wars to be exact i . 59000000 metric tons of greenhouse gases that's how much the u.s. defense department spewed into the atmosphere in 2017 alone brown university says the d.o.d. is both the largest oil consumer and institutional polluter in the world there are entire countries that don't emit as many fumes portugal finland and sweden to name a few how is that possible well the u.s. military does have a presence in over 150 countries it's 560000 buildings worldwide make up 40 percent o

whatever you want to call the cushion or adjust than the others they are really no experts on the middle east and it's a pity that the united states which brought forward people like george about actual and henry kissinger and jim baker is now at the hands of people like donald trump and his associates they understand nothing about diplomacy and nothing about the middle east it's even insulting it's like trying to give someone a buck shish. in order for him to give up what he really values sovereignty statehood he's capital and all of that and it's really too much to waste a lot of time on it and one can only ask every toric a question would these rallies agree to sell their own national dignity and national lend or even the settlements in the west bank for a price tag of $50000000000.00 or $500000000000.00 or whatever the amount there would be ok you're seeing in tel aviv i mean the supporters of this deal or are spinning it is a middle east marshall plan we already heard marshall's name mentioned already i mean but i don't really understand how it works i mean if the countries that are invo

the pentagon okays 1000 more troops to the middle east. let's break it down with senior strategic analyst general jack keane. always good to have you. we are told central command, the answer to that request of the additional thousand troops to head to the middle east. a lot of folks asking questions how this squares with the president's america first strategy and getting us out of these incursions. >> it squares with iranian's aggressive alignment for 39 years, the president pulled out of the nuclear deal that was formed in 2015 because iran was going to be on a path to nuclear weapons and the obama administration fairly early on in negotiations because iran didn't want to be part of it took off the table the aggressive behavior for 39 years in lebanon, syria, iraq and finally yemen. the deal is when they took down the government. i think what the trump administration is doing is fundamentally trying to change iran's behavior not just on nuclear weapons but there aggressive behavior in the middle east and i think it is working because sanc

no one has granted them a hunting license in the middle east. is a clear divide inside the white house. president trump was the one who called off the retaliatory strike but most of his senior advisers wanted them. that has resulted in a mixed message being sent to tehran. at times, the trump administration appears to be tentatively offering a hand of friendship, even as it shakes its fist. we are prepared to negotiate with no preconditions. they know precisely how to find us and i'm confident that at the very moment they're ready to truly engage with us, we will be able to begin these conversations. the us secretary of state is now on his way to the middle east in an attempt to calm waters in the gulf. but with concerns of further attacks following explosions on tankers and iran threatening to breach the terms of its internationally agreed nuclear deal, relationships between tehran and washington will be tested, if any exist at all. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. chris also gave us this analysis from ossington. i think has this week again
