well a couple of points are the economy or russia is not good china is having some economic problems at the end of the day each of the countries in the e.u. are going to have to answer one question do you trust iran russia and china or do you trust the united states and at the end of the day we will find that they trust the united states but saying that all of what they're doing they're positioning themselves into bringing their ideas as we said earlier to negotiating table with president trump so all of this is a family squabble nato the e.u. the european countries who we've had relationships forever we're going to continue to have great relations but the president is a tough negotiator and at the end of the day you need to deal with a country iran that exports terror that exports mr for a wide or you're going to work with the united states government who is trying to lead in the world not only united states but the world into some stability and peace so that's the answer that these individuals are going to have to or the question that they're going to have to answer and they'll answ

back because of trump's anger at the two thousand and fifteen iran nuclear deal that deal sought china russia the us and european countries lift all penalties on doing business with iran and exchange for a curbing of its nuclear development program under the deal nuclear related research is limited until two thousand and twenty four all the stock pile of uranium was cut ninety eight percent tehran signed up to keep it at that level for fifteen years but trump doesn't think the programs for strictures are tough enough calling it a horrible one sided deal he says missile development plan should be brought under any deal and he wants tehran to change its foreign policy we live in washington in a moment first the same as ravi from tehran. in a televised interview on the eve of u.s. sanctions snapping back into place iran's president admonished america praised his european allies and asked his people for a little more time to fix the country's economy. that would be steadily going to have emerged out of that and we need more solidarity we should be more united i'm telling my dear people god willin

this will include russia and china. russiaian aircraft, 300,000 russian servicemen, the chinese will bring 900 pieces of military hardware and 3000, what is this about? >> the big power competition. this administration has clearly identified the new strategic framework the united states is facing. we have been involved in 9/11 wars 17 years in afghanistan. russia and china have been advancing themselves militarily. they are not building exactly what we have in terms of total missile ships but they are building capacities that make what we have considerably more vulnerable. an asymmetric strategy. it has been working for them. the exercise your speaking of is the largest exercise russia has ever been involved in. they were part of the soviet union during the cold war. i'm on a commission for the national defense strategy, a congressional commission appointed by john mccain. our report comes out next month. we will sound the clarion call, national security danger is rising for the united states as pertains to russia and china an

china and russia are also aggressively working to incorporate antisatellite attacks into their war-fightingdoctrines. in 2015, china created a separate military enterprise to oversee and prioritize its war-fighting capabilities in space. as their actions make clear, our adversaries have transformed space into a war-fighting domain already. and the united states will not shrink from this challenge.

the eu and china are the most active in rolling out additional regulation. but india, russia, south korea and other countries are ramping up efforts to develop and enforce a wide range of cyber security, privacy and data localization policies. china has the most aggressive in place mandating all important information and personal information to be stored in china. it's currently defined the law would require any entity that owns or operates a computer network and applies to a vast assortment different types of data. india, russia, nigeria, south korea all have an active law transferring the business and consumer data. approximately 120 countries for data privacy laws and are considering legislation in this area. some companies have decided to discontinue offering products and services because of the gdr compliance which are so high they can no longer justify being in the market. they have the steep fines of 20 million or 24% of annual revenue, whichever is higher. the fragmentation of the policy regulations in the united states is also on the rise. the sector specific federal

china and russia and other countries and the they do business with iran well how are we going to punish them you know we've already been doing a lot of that what are we going to put more sanctions on russia you know we continue to do that but eventually that runs out of steam but the one thing that i hope we can call attention to is the fact that this doesn't always end well ends badly and long term sometimes it lasts a long time i think is how long we've had sanctions and with with cuba and it last a long time when you're powerful but this is a little lot bigger than haven't our sanctions on cuba this is a big deal and i think in time people are going to realize that we might have to adjust because. the other countries are going to not tolerate what we have done. now and then just on the still not been any proof presented public it publicly at least of the russian attacks on u.s. democracy that we used to justify the new sanctions bill how does that would how is it being perceived by. you know the warmongers the people who want sanctions and everything that russia does is bad they're r

it is it wants to be clear on one thing rouhani in the that address kept mentioning russia and kept mentioning china so while it is still keen to keep its deal with the western powers with which it negotiated the nuclear deal intact it is still moving towards other countries towards russia towards china towards the east towards asian partners so certainly it's not putting all its eggs in one basket that is the lesson that president hassan rouhani has government learned from the devolution of the joint comprehensive plan of action the nuclear deal zain thank you. well just a short time ago a british government minister said the u.k. government with british companies to make their own quote commercial decisions on doing business with iran the trump white house of call the iran nuclear deal quotes horrible can be healthy and examines how we got to where we are today. the united states says iran is a threat and it wants to punish the country's government by isolating it from the global financial system starting tuesday u.s. sanctions will be reimposed to target a range of sectors blocking iran from purc

recent pentagon military doctrine shift from the war on terror to great power while great with china and russia given higher priority now means that the cia's anti terror effort will fall to her. i don't think so sophia because terrorism is not going away we fact i'm a little worried right now because every time there's been a relative lull in activity such as we've seen since a little bit of reduction of conflict in syria recently there's been a rebound and then the terrorists every merged in a new form so i'm not in any way believer in the idea that we were past this threat of terrorism i think at the same time the great power rivalry doesn't necessarily imply that we're enemies again or that we're back to a cold war i think in a way whether you're that you apply this idea of rivalry to china or russia it's a recognition that both countries should be taken seriously and that their interests are sometimes a threat to the united states but i would describe it more as competition than adversarial. i've heard former cia officials lament the fact that the agency has fewer resources now than sure i

china russia they're not signing any band can you change their minds. hopefully we can but we need more support from countries where there is i think. concert consensus. and there must be a minit what human control over the use of ports. and over the critical functions of weapon but currently there are only twenty six countries for a ban but most countries and that does get want to negotiate on a new legal instrument ok that's all going well but is it even possible to ban this technology experts are warning that consumer products every day products can be used for a man attacks that non-state actors can use cheap ai technology for the kind of drones my eight year old place with. so so we're not against technology. on a local level you know so impatient so what we want is not these technology must be controlled when it comes to use was weapons and this is support for us and i think of course there's a countries which are very interested and these weapons use them want to keep them and we are not every day but i think. maybe it's possible to have a proces

you see also china and russia are working to escape these economic and financial asymmetry. slot into the gaps left behind, in fact a chinese company will pick up in fact a chinese company will pick up from where total has left can you keep the nuclear deal with just china and russia in play gesturing mark that is a very good example, but the thing is obviously china and russia are not able to provide to iran what iran was looking for, which is why europe's role was important for tehran. in the long term you can have a sense in europe that obviously europeans should be able to insulated themselves from the consequences of these so—called us secondary sanctions. thank you very much indeed. the second round of sanctions due in november. an american member of the us—led coalition targeting jihadists in iraq and neighboring syria has died after what appears to be an accidential aircraft crash. it's the latest casualty in a region that has seen great sacrifice by international forces. often we talk about the long running wars in iraq and afghanistan in terms of policy or future d

russia and china and how they might go about that but stop there with reaction from iran with intel the day after the united states reimposed nuclear sanctions against iran the foreign minister of another sanctioned country sat down with leaders in teheran north korea's foreign minister really young ho met iranian leaders in an effort to improve ties the timing of this visit is likely no coincidence iran wants america to know it has friends everywhere in a televised interview on monday night iran's president admonished america praised his european allies and asked his people for a little more time to fix the country's economy and that if you stay out of the unit to have emerged out of that and we need more solidarity we should be more united i'm telling my dear people god willing with your help we will get through this problem he mentioned china and russia several times a signal that iran intends to continue its pivot toward strategic economic partners to cope with yet more american economic pressure. and with the latest comments by the european foreign policy chief perhaps there is a r

the eu and china are the most active players and volley of digital regulations. but india, russia, south korea and other asian and latin american countries are ramping up efforts to develop and enforce a wide range of cybersecurity, privacy, and data localization policies. china has the most aggressive regime in place mandating all important information and personal information be stored locally in china. it is going to find the law would require any entity that owns and operates a computer network and applies to a vast assortment of different types of data. india, russia, nigeria, south korea all have enacted laws that prohibit transferring various types of business and consumer data. in fact, the least 34 different countries have data localization requirements that can raise the cost of posting paid by an estimated 30-60%. approximately 120 countries currently have data privacy laws and many more are considering legislation in this very. some decided to discontinue offering products and services in the eu because a gdpr compliance costs which are so high that they can no longer

this will include russia and china. russiathan 1,000 russian aircraft, more than 300,000 russian servicemen, the chinese will bring along 900 plus pieces and military hardware and more than 3,000 chinese troops. what is this all about? >> this is about big power competition and this administration is clearly identified the new strategic framework of the united states is literally facing. we've been involved in the 9/111 wars, now 17 years in afghanistan, russia and china have been advancing themselves militarily. they are not building exactly what we have in terms of toe-to-toe my soul ships but thy are building capacities that make what we have considerably more vulnerable. we pull an asymmetric strategy. it has been working for them. the exercise you are speaking of is the largest exercise that russia has ever been involved in, they were part of the soviet union during the cold war. i'm on a commission for the national defense strategy. a congressional commission, interesting enough, funded by john mccain. i will report out

atmosphere and improve the atmosphere there's also of course the issue of countries like russia and particularly china who are central to the u.s. strategy of sanctioning north korea russia and china voted for the u.n. sanctions and if china for instance feels under pressure from america over its trade policies or then it may not be so helpful to trump so the issue is becoming more complicated ok. for the crisis research institute mark allen thanks so much for joining us today out of time a great to get your take on that story today. that's it for this hour for myself on the team see you again in thirty minutes for the latest global news updates. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the lawn. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be brits. that's it like to be for us this is what before us three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. with all make goods manufactured consent to constant to the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round it

and china borders russia and china are of course but it has its sad so called anti missile system if you just said to be pointing at the north no one believes that it's pointing a chinaman. so these are very precarious days ahead but i think they quite hopeful days and i'm sure if you still have friends in the national security apparatus of the united states but do you think there are people in there taking a rather dim view very dim i will oppose this as you point out all the arms companies will oppose this although the japanese have said publicly they supported but and no doubt the chep these people support it no question about it but whether the united states stays in korea. literally leaves. is the crucial factor here that surely there really is the end of the korean war surely there are interests and we should remind people who don't because it's seldom mentioned here that it was britain was involved in the killing of twenty percent of the population of korea how far would the united states go in trying to remain there if peace breaks i don't know but the it for them it may w

he mentioned china and russia several times a signal that iran intends to continue its pivot toward strategic economic partners to cope with yet more american economic pressure. and with the latest comments by the european foreign policy chief perhaps there is a reason for iranians to be optimistic we in the european union. they did our. very much up to date. with this this is a legislation the european union has in place to protect european businesses from the effect of secondary sanctions of sanctions that the u.s. imposes outside of that we believe that it is and it has to be up to the europeans in this case to the side with home to trade with so there is also a matter of i would say trade sovereignty to be protected mongering he says european countries are encouraging small and larger companies to increase business with and in iran saying a strong relationship with iran that helps to preserve the twenty fifteen nuclear deal is a security priority for europe. while iranian see european policy as business friendly they say it hasn't changed the reality on the ground it's about time you. wil

and china, u.s. and russia or u.s. and turkey. there is a lot of rushing about with sanctions and tariffs. we are seeing the knock on in the currencies. let's show you what is happening first with the dollars. you can see it's sliding. the euro is heading the other way, down a quarter of a percent , and we can see the biggest movement happening with the turkish lira, now retracing some losses, 5.6%. we had above the seven handle, 7.2. after the headlines in the past few minutes, we see it going back below seven. 69 --he russian ruble, 67.9, that is the weakest in the past two years because of restrictions coming from the u.s. with regards to what has been happening with that u.k. double agent and the nerve agent attack we saw earlier this year. quick check of the close, markets on friday, good day. , really a0 and nasdaq broad basic line based on the geopolitical tensions and what is happening. sanctioning, and china, turkey and russia. take your pick. haidi: we are seeing this blow in safe havens. look at the price, things like g

being on another side china on one side russia on another that might this have a trickle down effect to two political impact as well. yes with his ilk or does it got a worldwide effect is good much beyond the region to the rift to be created between the u.s. and the rest of the world europe and no the major culprit i wouldn't say that the us is i saluted us of people say because we cited the shifts of the us economy makes it not isolated but. on the other hand of it it. is the difficulties created by myriad gun policy certainly. destroying this kind of unanimity which existed within the international community regarding iran. and this will make but will be more difficult for the american to the americans to implement the sanctions ok francoise thank you so much for joining us we appreciate your time very much like plenty more had and the news hour including the messengers under fire journalists are targeted as the bangladeshi government tries to and student protests more now that surprise me president elect intends to stamp out violent crime and arsenal on the brink of a major deal b

looking towards countries like russia china iran on ukraine for currency alternatives. we are preparing to use our own national currency with our biggest trading partners such as china russia and ukraine if european countries want to get away from the us dollar then we are ready to set up such a system as well. the president heard one appeal to citizens to ditch their u.s. dollars down buy up turkish lira the currency spiraled in the wake of donald trump declaring he was doubling import tariffs on turkish metal imports i have just authorized a doubling of tariffs on steel and on the menu with respect to turkey as the currency the turkish lira slides rapidly downward against our very strong dollar and a mini moon now b. twenty percent and still fifty percent our relations with turkey are not good at this time of the ra it traces back to turkey's refusal to release the american pastor accused of involvement in a failed coup two years ago a move that angered many in washington the countries are also at all over turkey's purchase of russian missile defense systems they have

if you think about the country and now looking at the competition between china and russia. to transform our military expertise in the direction of being competitive with china and russia it is a very big risk formula of counterterrorism. and give them the resources they need to fight the fight whenever or however. i got it and this is good news. and to put together a strong military and to focus to make sure we know who is in our country legally. you understand that kids like me growing up in a single-parent household so we didn't know the difference between republican and democrat. and she is an amazing woman most of you in the audience. is easier when you get a little older. and then to appreciate that i won the lottery. being an american is winning the lottery. the greatest undeserved present with our lord and savior that they can ask. so between seven and 14 all good things lead in the right direction. so as a freshman in high school i had no appreciation of what was possible. and i dropped out of high school. i failed world geography as a first editor in politics. and i

we could solve real problems and so in the iran case we were able to convince the government of russia china india as well as our closest allies to stick with us and we got to the j.c. . and some of russia's policies we were able to convince as you say germany and other european countries to suffer some real economic harm because they thought we had a plan i think the problem now is that the united states is proving that we cannot be trusted with this tool and so the chances of getting even our closest allies let alone a nontraditional partners like russia like china decide with us i think they're they're much much reduced i don't know if you heard this but chancellor merkel said the other day that your of can no longer rely on the united states in order to protect itself and i would argue that the more pressing. question right now is whether your of can really take it for granted that the united states will not last out of europe economically do you think this rat of secondary sanctions is real do you think the united states good. full force against european countries if they decide to cont

platesing cing on ra are the most aggressive or weak ones how strong is president trump being on russia relative to china turkey >> well, we're going in stages first of all russia has a fundamentally different economy. the sanctions that have been announced today need to go to congress and three months later i believe president trump under certain circumstances can even exacerbate them. for the trade relationship of the two countries, u.s. and russia is not that great but for russia the has a stifling effect. the ruble has been on a downward spiral since 2014 when russia invaded ukraine -- you know what i mean and so, yes, sanctions are really bad for russia, backing them into a corner >> we see it in that chart there as you were talking about. thank you so much, sandra from beyond global. thank you, guys. >>> we will continue the market discussions coming up. also as stocks had had their worse day for the month, the global turmoil concerns, we will discuss with fast money traders what they're hideout trades are. >>> plus facebook removing controversial radio host alex jones for glorifying violence. and
