70,000 us dollars per month, and then you had the ministry of foreign affairs in hong kong which also put out a statement which is also quite unusual, saying they did not consider this to be freedom of speech. they liken him speaking to have an nazi speak in germany, terrorist speak in the united states, so they were putting a lot of pressure on the foreign correspondents cloud. as the talk went ahead and they responded by saying that hong kong has these freedoms of freedom of speech, which are enshrined in their constitution, and that they were going to let him speak. they have let supporters of the communist party speak, they have let supporters and advocates of brexit speak, so for them it was very much an issue of freedom of speech and they would let this go ahead. let's get the context because his party is not that well supported in hong kong. yes, let's be clear, people who support independence in hong kong are not the majority. he is the leader of a very small political party. they have dozens of supporters. there really is not a

colombian ultra right and that the name of juan manuel santos is behind this attempt colombia's foreign affairs ministry called that accusation absurd and in washington president donald trump's national security adviser strongly denied any u.s. role i can say unequivocally there was no u.s. government involvement in this ad all of it has been widely reported that trump repeatedly suggested a military invasion of venezuela last year but was talked out of it by senior officials. bolton speculated without providing evidence that maduro his government may itself be responsible for the apparent drone bombing now with respect to what happened last afternoon. could be a lot of things from a pretext set up by the majority and itself to something else i don't know but on sunday venezuela's interior minister showed pictures of the type of drone he claimed was used officials allege each carried a gram of the plastic explosive i want to see for sais that already we have so far six terrorists and had been detained several vehicles seized several raids in hotels are being carried out in our nation's capital

we have an elite team of foreign affairs professionals here at the state department and across the administration. the iran action group will play a critical role in leading our efforts within the department and executing the president's iran strategy across the inner agency. the administration will also build, continue to build the broadest level of international support for our strategy. just yesterday, i was in london meeting with senior officials from germany, france and the united kingdom for productive discussions on iran. we will continue to build on those areas where we are in agreement with our allies and partners around the world, and we will work to find consensus on those areas where we are not. i have worked on iran throughout my career in foreign policy beginning in 2006 on the u.n. security council serving as an adviser to u.n. ambassador bolton. i thank secretary pompeo for this opportunity and the confidence he has placed in me and my colleagues to execute this strategy. i'm glad to answer a few questions. >> this was 3 but they are so brief, it will seem like just one. you talke

several foreign affairs offices like the u.k. have the travel advisories and the state websites against traveling to these high risk areas and tourists are definitely not allowed to go within a certain radius of active volcanoes in bali and lombok. there's no prohibition at this time the airports are running and flights are running as normal but it's very likely based on the last example we have one now are going in bali was smoking last year there was a huge drop in tourism in the subsequent months so you're probably to see something like somewhat in lombok especially because last week five hundred hikers were stranded on the most popular destination along by which is the volcano mount one johnny so these two islands but especially lombok which is smaller than bali i can see. a decrease in tourist activity for months to come us likely. to think about a go in jakarta thank you very much for that update thanks for having me. let you now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the wild in venezuela an invest

i remember of you to go with a worked on the federal foreign affairs bill and he was front and center in frustrated that the people were being sent off to war and the words the appropriate mechanisms here in washington with the department of veterans affairs to address that. a lot of this stemmed from the va scandal in his home state of arizona. i want to tell people there was a light side of john mccain, also. remember there was a story about how we lived in northern virginia, just across the river here, and he was seen shopping, pushing his own grocery cart at shoppers food warehouse in the strip all across the river. i remember standing outside the russell office building of years ago and he was getting into his car there is a dent in his car. i joke with him said really, the guy who ran for president, this is the car you drive and he had this fender bender and someone had run into his car. in that respect he was an average guy but he would joke with the press and, as ed henry said, spar with you and go back and forth but he could be tough as well. john: chad pegram, a capitol hill

it took some prodding from the republican chairman of the house foreign affairs committee to get theistration to act, and now we have seen the administration has followthrough and applied the law but they really had no choice in the matter. david: this is not the only set of sanctions. there are already sanctions on individuals close to president vladimir putin. if president putin does not come forward, there are proposals on capitol hill. where is our relationship with russia headed? michael: i think it is headed in a negative direction because of brushes continued aggressive actions. while the sanctions announced yesterday, and will be a posted two weeks, are not harsh, they onnstate restrictions sensitive technologies that were already adopted by the obama administration, but they send a signal that if the u.s. nicest russia was responsible for the use of a nerve agent in the u k, -- signal that the u.s. recognizes russia used a nerve agent in the u.k. potentially, there will be other stuff in the future. i think this presages further deterioration, a lot of sweet as a result of b
