m american administration do about those european companies? an entire mess because this deal was entered with a group of countries which is the uk, france, germany, out which is the uk, france, germany, our combined foreign policy was through this deal and the idea was that if you had iran inside the tent it is easier to control what is going on within the regime but donald trump has said consistently it isa donald trump has said consistently it is a rubbish deal, i'm going to do something about it and he has done that. but where is it leading? the key point is that in november even tougher sanctions will come in targeting their oil and that really is the key point about where its economy is at. on the other side of the coin, he said he would meet mr ruhani if the situation arises. having taken the other tack with north korea, hugging them close and see if it works as a diplomatic strategy and spectacularly failing, he is waving a big stick with iran to see if it brings them to the table and rouhani said no, as long as the sanctions are in pla

anymore and if the american administration thing using.money to try to pressure palestinians to accept something they don't want to accept i don't think that is going to happen i think if palestinians anything they are more resilient than anything else and i think they will figure out a way to survive without the american money already the policy of the authorities. basically internal revenues is increasing they depend less and less and less on foreign aid anyway so the american decision is coming at a convenient time for palestinians in a way if that decision was made in two thousand and ten or eleven i think will have a much larger impact than today but it's simply do not need american money to survive and i certainly would not make them do something that they don't want to do the right asked and salomé talking to us live from ramallah in the occupied west bank thank you very much thank you meanwhile half of gaza's population are under the age of seventeen and some of them have already left three three was andrew simmons is being to visi

for the new american administration the situation is clear beyond the shocking humanitarian situation. the yemen conflict was additional proof of iranian plans to dominate the middle east eager to take action donald trump chose the nuclear dossier while the international agency in charge of monitoring the two thousand and fifteen deal indicated that iran was respecting its obligations the american president insisted that this was untrue on october thirteenth two thousand and seventeen he decertified the deal insisting it no longer corresponded to the interests of the united states. based on factual record i have put forward i am announcing today that we cannot and will not make this certification. we will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence more terror and the very real threat of the rent's nuclear break thank you trump also demanded that the other signatory countries tighten the terms of the deal failing which he would definitely walk away from it. this american turnaround put the international iran nuclear deal on hold and on the brink of collapse.

bringing democracy to the middle east has proved a thorn in the side of every american administration for the past 70 years. it finally looked like it would happen from the inside during the arab spring eruption of 2011. in a wave stretching in teefsh tunisia to egypt. regimes were and dictators fell like dominos. the united states unsure who to back. in the face off between the long tile ally and the people poir rising from the street. david kirkpatrick arrived in a sleepy, sweltering chi rote previous summer. dispatched as bureau chief for the "new york times" and being told by experts in washington that nothing much would happen on his beat. six months later he was reporting on the spark that i . ignited the arab spring. and the downfall of the president. his account of egyptian ref l s roo revolution. and returned a general to power. i sat down with kirkpatrick recently to discuss 2011 seismic uprising. his origin. decent into chaos and lasting impact on the arab world. welcome to the program. how was it that you became the accidental arab spring correspondent? >> my first week on

second or keeping and maintaining banking ties with iran matters a lot the americans the american administration and donald trump himself they have intimidated the european officials and states each and every one and all of them all together as the e.u. to avoid doing swift and doing banking transactions with iran europeans have promised that one of their central banks could it it could be the central bank of france or england they were they said at the beginning or the bank of investment of europe one of them would continue you know all working with iran and transferring money back to tehran if they do that then there would be some meaningful cough ration between the two sides and positive outcomes could be expected otherwise i believe things would go warse and we might see some you know reciprocal moves by tehran. we're going to have to leave it as i could to get your thoughts that was politicized mustapha question thank you. i mean the u.s. president on trump has reiterated his plan to create a military force in space stressing that this new wing of the american military would have both defen

more pressing despite the fact that it was in fact israel which has been clamoring for the american administration to abandon this deal do you think israel is poised to become even more proactive in quote unquote defending its security in other countries and the where can it lead all of us well you know that for for a long time i've been trying to remind people to distinguish between prime minister netanyahu and israel prime minister netanyahu has spoken you know bitterly and angrily about the j.c. the israeli security establishment including now a string of two. chief of army staff have all made clear that the j. c.p.a. worked for israel by removing the existential threat that neuron in nuclear program would have been just making iran a threat but not next essential one so to some extent i think that present prime minister netanyahu is now in a phrase we use in english the dog who caught the car he got what his rhetoric wanted but he's right that this does pose real risks for israel the right response would be to try to find ways to deescalate the situation with iran on syria and other issues i t

it is one of the few islands where real diplomacy still happens in the american administration with other real debate that can be seen. you mention the united states. in any discussion about kofi annan, we talk about what the united states has been up to on the international stage. last weekend, we debated the views of the former british foreign secretary boris johnson about what some muslim women wear. but before that, let's talk about trade and the implications of all this. there are other questions over what donald trump is doing in his trade wars with turkey and syria and particularly with china. the chinese are on their way to washington. there are going to be talks in washington, stryker. is this a sign that the chinese are looking to try and sue for peace in this conflict over trade war and the use of trade sanctions? everybody wants this to be over and done with. there may be just one exception to that, who is living in the white house! steve mnuchin has been highly involved in a lot of these trade negotiations. he is very much a kind of odd man out in the white house. there were

or are you going to have a responsible white house an american administration that tells their so do friends we need to end this thing it's the patrons it's the soul of the patrons in europe and the united states that would have to make a call now because in the meantime though i suppose one of the pressures might be on the cost of all this because they're continuing to have to. even though they have superior power actually what it isn't is one of those a class a is symmetric situations whether he can still hit them with the occasional rockets into the things or it's not as you say there's going to be as when everyone is recognised not to be a political it is not to be a kind of a war solution to this it's going to have to be a political one absolutely and it will cost the fact if you think the thing is that you know everyone talks about there's no military solutions but they continue with the military onslaught like that we have in syria. but clearly a semantical warfare like that when the strong fights for too long the strong becomes weak we've known that throughout history of a sy

korea is finding ways of getting around sanctions, and that's why there is concern within the american administration keep pressure on them, specifically they are pointing fingers at russia, this concerned that there are businesses in russia, that are trying to do some deals with north korea. moscow could deny that, but mike pompeo seemed very sure that as far as he is concerned, that is happening and that is something that america feels it needs to stop but at the same time, north korea also feels that the us operating too much pressure on north korea, they feel they are being targeted here and at the same time as donald trump seems to be talking warmly by kimjong—un, he was doing so on twitter only this week and made a point that this new summit of southeast asian countries, to be giving to him, which does indicate they have a relationship, but of course i has been seized on by the koreans themselves, their foreign minister became very clear that what is alarming the insistent moves manifested within the eu nets —— us to go back to the old far from its leaders and tensions, that is a clear indicati
