thanks for being with us today on the day this is a deal that germany helped hammer out with britain france china russia where you see europe on this are they on trump's side not really because the europeans think that this is. a possible way out of the book a year long sanctions policy against iran had they didn't really produce. a nuclear free. iran so they want to stick to the agreement because they don't want to be on the side of those who who are refusing to drop out and i think they understand that there is inside the framework of the agreement enough room to negotiate but the trump he doesn't believe first that the agreement works and he has a lot of other issues that don't really fit into the green line but he somehow mingles them into the into the criticism earlier we heard the e.u. foreign policy chief i don't recall him over any reacting to trump statements let's take a listen to what she had just said because this is a u.n. security council resolution this is a plan of action that sets things to be done commitments nuclear related equipment only nuclear related commitments and t

the first world war pitted britain france and russia against germany austria hungary and the ottoman empire the british in the shape of the diplomats or mark sykes were determined to divide autumn and territory in a way that best suited them once the war was over for their own strategic interests . by nine hundred seventeen the war was shifting in the allies favor and in the middle east the british were moving through sinai towards the borders of historic palestine. further north the russian revolution in february one nine hundred seventeen cast doubt on russia's continued involvement in the war. as britain and france tried to outmaneuver one another the british zionist movement took on increasing political importance. get back in touch with scientists and think about. incorporates elitism in british planning for palestine and at this moment we see a hugely important meeting taking place in the home of moses guesstimate of. seventeen and this is the point in which sykes mates for the first time. and the. another time in this in which it's discussed what the zionists are looking for a

russia china britain or france. russia says it hopes the u.s. will make a balanced decision on whether to remain engaged in the landmark international deal to curb iran's nuclear program president from persecuted iran of not living up to the spirit of the twenty fifteen deal and is expected to refuse to endorse it next week we must not allow iran to obtain to obtain nuclear weapons the iranian regime supports terrorism and exports violence bloodshed and chaos across the middle east that is why we must put an end to iran's continued aggression and nuclear ambitions they have not lived up to the spirit of their agreement. well that nuclear deal was described as a win win by many when it was approved two years ago during the barack obama administration it was signed by iran the u.s. russia china france the u.k. and germany it stops iran from producing materials that could be used for nuclear weapons now in turn economic penalties and embargoed against iran with an lifted the agreement must be certified by the u.s. president every ninety days the ne

staying clued britain france russia and china the un's security council's permanent members plus germany will gather with you the group broke at the iran nuclear agreement in the summer of twenty fifteen in the accord iran promised that its nuclear program is strictly peaceful in practice that means you're a human richmond is limited and the country stockpile is capped at three hundred kilograms while the reactor in iraq will be reconfigured so it can't produce any weapons grade plutonium and all this will be closely monitored by the international atomic energy agency well in return for it all economic sanctions on iran were left it let's talk a little bit more about this with scott lucas he is an american studies professor at the university of burnham and he joins right now yes there is that think so much of professor for joining us it's really really difficult to tell whether all the tough talk coming out of washington is real because on the one hand you've got president trump repeatedly saying that you know iran broke the deal the spirit of the deal but the i.a.e.a. says no they're co

he wants serious action and britain, france and germany are worried about how iran may react to this, thank you. if the mental health trust covering norfolk and suffolk has been put into special measures for a second time, because of concerns about patient safety. in a report, inspectors said the number of serious incidents remained high, and staff had failed to learn from patient deaths. norfolk and suffolk is only mental health trust in england to have been put into special measures. here's our health correspondent, sophie hutchinson. the norfolk and suffolk mental health trust, putting patients at risk. a year ago taking out of special measures but today put back infor special measures but today put back in forfailing to special measures but today put back in for failing to address serious safety issues. pippa believes her son would still be alive had he been properly cared for. henry, an art student, was found by the police, peering over a bridge. he said he wanted to die. he was taken into hospital at the trust but discharged when he said he felt better. five days later, henry ha

. >> and our allies have waited and write about what you would have expected them to be with britain, france and germany thing and it will come we stand committed to the jcp away in the full implementation by all sides. preserving the jcp away is in our shared national interest. business check that they will be willing to revisit the terms of this deal? request they are already revisiting the terms of this and the implementation.our european eyes, the e3, france, germany and the uk are supporting much more rigorous enforcement of the jcpoa and monitoring. one of the problems with this deal is that we cannot really say with confidence that they are complying. and we know from their behavior, poorly in the region and their behavior in the equipment with a walked up the line, have crossed the line several times. in terms of restrictions. but this is not a trustworthy regime.much more offensive monitoring is in order. >> booklets to see the iranians being able to revisit? >> enslavement revisit. it is just implement the agreement by going to sites. to fully implement inspections and monitoring.

the spirit of the deal but his country remains committed to its international powers including britain france and germany are urging trying not to undermine the agreement police in kenya have shot and killed at least two people during protests against the electoral commission opposition supporters defied a ban on demonstrations calling for reforms to prevent fraud in the rerun of the presidential poll in two weeks' time. u.s. defense secretary james mattis is age an iraqi and kurdish peshmerga forces to remain focused on defeating eisel that's after kurdish forces cleared villages around kirkuk and accuse iraqi forces are preparing to seize kurdish held or oil fields near the city tension rise after kurds voted overwhelmingly for secession from iraq in a non-binding referendum last month john stratford has more from a bill in northern iraq the kurdish regional government ok ology says iraqi government troops and shia militia forces have moved closer to the peshmerga positions the peshmerga have controlled kirkuk and surrounding area since two thousand and fourteen after defending it against w

the result is that airbus could be hit with fines in the billions in britain and france and that could have a severe economic impact on the company in germany authorities are investigating the sale of fifteen euro fighter jets to austria here to there are also believed to be irregularities but in germany there's been no indictment against the company only individual employees and we desperately need a corporate criminal law where companies are threatened by serious punishment this is long been the case in britain and france we're thirty years behind and this is perhaps the consequence of the german age a network of interconnected german companies who protect each other and it's not ok . global companies like airbus and siemens are particularly susceptible to corruption especially in situations where the local customs are more blurred. and is now needs to demonstrate cooperation with the authorities. buying gold is a popular impulse among investors and turbulent times of course purchasing the actual physical boyens isn't the only way to invest in gold but counterfeit bars are an obvious

britain, france and germany say they stand committed to the deal and are concerned by president trumprump refusing to back it. they said, "the deal is in ourjoint national interest." they aren couraging the us administration and congress to take into consideration the implication of that decision." earlier, within minutes of the president's speech the eu's foreign policy chief spoke out against his threat to scrap the deal saying it wasn't his to terminate. she said the mully lateral agreement had been welcomed by the whole international community. it is not a by lateral agreement. it does not belong to any single country and it is not up to any single country to determinate it. terminate it. it was unanimously endorsed by the united nations security council resolution 2231. it is a robust deal that provides guarantees and a strong monitoring mechanism so iran's nuclear programme is and will remain exclusively for civilian purposes only. we cannot afford, as international community, as europe for sure, to dismantle a fuke collar agreement that is working and delivering especially now.

nuclear deal at any time now that deal was negotiated back in two thousand and fifteen by the us britain france and germany along with russia and china it is crippling economic sanctions against iran and exchange for strict controls on its nuclear program now trump is threatening to make good on a long running promise to unravel the accord has a bit more of what he had to say. in just a few years as key restrictions disappear iran can sprint towards a rapid nuclear weapons breakout in other words we we can spec sions in exchange for no more than a purely short term and temporary delay in iran's path to nuclear weapons what is the purpose of a deal that at best only delays iran's nuclear capability for a short period of time this as president of the united states is unacceptable but based on the factual record i have put forward i am announcing today that we cannot and will not make this certification i'm on this i'm joined now by dr henning from the german council on foreign relations that erica thanks for being with us today on the day this is a deal that germany helped hammer out with britain

so the deal took more than a decade to negotiate between the united states china russia great britain france germany and iran it was finally signed in twenty fifteen. there was dancing in the streets of the iranian capital tehran when the agreement was finally reached after the mess of effort that went into securing the deal to control iran's nuclear program those who'd been instrumental in the negotiations reacted strongly to trump's announcement. more than two years ago exactly in july twenty fifteen the entire international community welcomed with the result of twelve years of intense negotiations on the iranian nuclear program one hundred and four pages full of technical details. the joint compressive gov action which is appealing it is not a bilateral agreement it does not belong to any single country and it is not up to any single country to terminate it german foreign minister gabriele said scrapping the treaty would send a quote dangerous signal shouted in the next few weeks we'll do everything in our power to persuade u.s. congress to uphold the agreement and to discuss how we can c

britain the major naval power in the eastern mediterranean and the interests of russia which was seeking to establish itself then get the. you know actual law and a story here. in eight hundred twenty nine france britain and russia convened in london to negotiate greece's independence. this independence kind of a big hole in the ottoman empire. and i don't need to get a kick out with the ad this time yet i'm an empire ruled the end time middle east it was a vast realm after the loss of continental greece and the peloponnese was not particularly significant from a territorial perspective but it had a powerful symbolic in fact. a human relatively it triggered the rebellions that characterized the end time one thousand nine hundred century and would lead to the loss of the balkans if they like it up or yes yet it created a huge trauma that still resonates in turkish history. as a matter that after. the spark quickly spread encouraged by russia the serbs and romanians rose up achieving autonomy. they were still part of the ottoman empire but they were on their way to independence. how could this type be stopped. in eight hundred thirty nine sultan abdul majeed initiated a hitherto unseen reform pr

for a long time france and britain with the guarantors of stability in the ottoman empire towards the end of the nineteenth century however their priorities changed european imperialism had reached its climax it needed new resources and new markets after conquering ottoman algeria france invaded tunisia in one thousand nine hundred one . the following year great britain occupied egypt the suez canal brought it closer to its colonial empire in india the ottomans saw it as a betrayal before one power that had hitherto stood on the sidelines it was an opportunity to join the conversation. in one thousand nine hundred nine kaiser wilhelm the second went to istanbul for a state visit. where he was received with great pomp and circumstance beisel time abdulhamid. as a symbol of their new friendship the two rulers hatched plans for a new line. it was to run from burlington to baghdad to mesopotamia to the persian gulf and its oil fields on the doorstep of the british area of influence. with the kaiser later engaged in further symbolic actions during a trip to the holy land in damascus he off

why what happened in two thousand and fifteen with one five nations russia china france britain and germany together with iran and reached an agreement designed to curb the country's nuclear program and to simply to stall the country build in its own nuclear bomb which may pose a threat to the entire world was taken by many viewed by many as a landmark as a breakthrough and this is why well mainly are expecting us to withdraw from the base of course late to. fear that the international security and safety could be under threat back to you kate. did warring times. in berlin thank you very much. well meanwhile germany's chief diplomat also stressed withdrawing from the nuclear deal with iran could hinder the chances of resolving the korean crisis he says once the deal is broken chung yang is unlikely to agree to any other international deals concerning its nuclear program well this comes as donald trump tries to convince the world of iran's bad intentions and explains i believe they're funding north korea i believe they're trading with north korea i believe they're doing things with korea tha

adopted by one hundred twenty two nations it doesn't include the united states russia china britain or france well though this week icon's executive director tweeted that donald trump was a moron speaking after the award she was more diplomatic the election of president donald trump has made a lot of people feel very uncomfortable with the fact that he alone can authorize the use of nuclear weapons and there's nothing people can do to stop him. or you can be with a tweet. who seems to be taking rational decisions very quickly. and it's sort of not listening to expertise is it just puts a spotlight on a spotlight on what this nuclear weapons really mean. there are no right hands whether for the wrong weapons or u.s. president donald trump plan to decertify the iranian nuclear deal has been criticized by many governments the european commission says iran is complying with the agreement and that all sides should stick to their commitments russia's foreign minister is also supporting the deal from washington d.c. told markham and reports. in typical style the u.s. president heightened suspense ov

sanctions that forced iran to the table, the irony of this is that if we were to walk away and britain, franceia, other countries remain connected to iran, the united states is now the isolated party, not iran being the isolated party. maybe that's donald trump's purpose, but it has an odd consequence that it really undermines the faith and trust that some of our allies had in working with us in putting this deal together. >> and steve, the trump administration is saying that the iran deal is not legally binding. should congress get more involved in u.s. nuclear policy? and if so, what can they do? >> look, i'm a fan, honestly, just across the board of congress having oversight on a lot of issues, including this, of being involved. it's just important to create, i think, a constructive engagement, a constructive oversight. it is technically true that the iran deal is not necessarily legally binding, other than the fact that our behaviors have consequences. so if we were to abregate the deal, we don't know what iran's reaction would be. maybe iran will stay on the course. it could begin tilting

, the marshall plan which economically supported not only eastern and central europe but france and great britain who were economically flat on their backs, and politically were really under some stress and strain. it's possible the communist parties of those two countries, particularly france, might've been able to even win an election. so for those reasons, truman saying to himself we must take a strong stand, begin what was called a policy of containment, of making sure the soviets could go no farther than they had, which was eastern and central europe. >> host: what was the soviet reaction? >> guest: they were not happy. they were a little bit shocked that we would take that kind of a position of strength, that kind of the commitment if you will to the freedom and liberty of eastern and central europe. and so they thought to themselves what can we do? they put pressure on both greece and turkey. the reaction to it was the truman doctrine. it began agitating and propagandizing in france and england, and elsewhere, the netherlands and so forth. our reaction to that was not only a marshall plan
