to international affairs commentator marc thanks for coming on to the program let's start with the q. and a session what were your biggest takeaways from the president. well i think what i get from the prison putin is a desire for the international system to function as it's supposed to a desire for dialogue primarily with his american partners as he calls them a dialogue for things to function according to rules of the world order as they've been established for a considerable period i also detect a slight disappointment that actually a lot of that is not happening precisely because of the attitude of his u.s. partners in washington who seem to prefer to see interview agreements between contracting parties as much as an inconvenience to be abandoned as soon as another plan comes along and foster instability in the global order as a result so i i detect a slight pessimism about the chances of this thing changing anytime soon certainly on the basis of the current crises in the world which mostly seem to be being created by the unwillingness of these american partners to engage in dialo

hong kong's economy i'm warning once more that the united states is meddling in hong kong's internal affairs knott's a refrain you're hearing again and again here in china a belief that the united states is interfering in hong kong's internal affairs now we haven't heard from president xi jinping so far or from any senior chinese leader president xi is currently in kurdistan attending a summit but i think you know the timing of these protests in hong kong will be embarrassing because they're coming just a few months before the people's republic is about to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china we've been getting reaction from around the world interestingly germany has said that it might be about to review its extradition arrangements with hong kong and also we've been hearing from president donald trump who's been talking for the 1st time about those dramatic events in hong kong on wednesday. when you look at this demonstration they said it was a 1000000 people there was a 1000000 people there was as big a demonstration is over the sea and so i hope it a

professor and dean of jindal school of international affairs doctors fear and thanks for coming on to the program to discuss this historic moment as we mentioned a twitter meeting so no one really knew if it was going to go ahead or not as the north koreans said they were quite surprised by how that happened charm kim jong il and they have met what what do you think the difference is going to is this going to make a difference do you think this meeting and where they've met and including that historical moment are we going to see any changes. now you know 1st thing you know he's the fag that accused john will immediately cue from crumbs to eat and then weirdly 24 hours on less than that he you know moved from or potentially from going and the balance of souls to the order of the beams each so that's at least $100.00 might you try were on the basis of cock and you know all that shows that. if trump looks needy and even in our look in pursuit of art you know some kind of a diplomatic wheel then sort of skin john wooden i mean he's also looking needy which is a good sign all parties seem

you have to have their voice their role in international affairs deserves respect. so. we're all meet there. will we be able to. make sure that we're develops rationally we have always been a proponent of peaceful coexistence despite the divergence is a few we still have to arrive at some common ground. and. duly settle any differences that might arise. that. i do have that such mutual respect is going to react is our relations with each and every country thank you very much present she. looking person she has said that they carry forward as the confrontations in globalization antiglobalization i don't know whether you agree with that but my question is as follows. where is russia in this confrontation does russia have to choose one paradigm the chinese have a very good. when tigers in the valley the smart monkey sits aside and looks at how it's going to end. but everything changes. and this picture is also changing but what you do this is the change is consistent as of now we see the principles which the words used to stick to just recently the us economy it is a high

something you have to spiral out of them so little you know every law enforcement agency has an internal affairs unit up at the is right you know which investigates crimes perpetrated by law enforcement professionals that's why we have so many special reason it's getting more police officers you know we're all human. nobody's an angel in new zealand and in every profession you have some bad apples at that but each case has to be treated as a separate lives and then there's the question of whether this was a crime or a mistake you on the you have to differentiate between the 2 you know how this question why did they grab a van gogh knob on the street a book i think you said a drug dealer you may have to get shimon the act of selling or buying drugs and they told me well he acted weird he had red eyes and he's a face was which i said you whip in minutes upside down the night train my eyes are red in my face it would be so should you arrest. or do you share any other evidence of you have to study all the spirit carefully most of you must see that it's personal always you can say everybody's guilty

. >>> for the first time we are getting a look at the internal affairs investigation into the shooting death of mario woods. the high-profile case involving san francisco police sparked racially charged protest and action by the u.s. department of justice. two 2 investigates spent the day going over the report and this is what she found. >> reporter: san francisco police released these documents as a result of a public records request by 2 investigates and california's new police transparency law. it shows what was going through the mind of the officers moment before the shooting of words. while cell phone video shows moments before san francisco police shots of mario woods in 2015, this newly released internal affairs investigation reveals it took 72 seconds from when officers made contact with him to when they opened fire, striking words of 21 times. the 26-year-old was a suspect in a stabbing, the first officer to approach him it is a knife in his hand, verbal commands to drop the knife were ineffective. the officer reported this to investigators. backup officers arrived. they deplo

i'm joined now by jonathan steele international affairs commentator good evening jonathan seemed lots of nice warm words from both sides on the face of it what did you make of the meeting. well as you say it is friendship is hardly ever been warmer and stronger than it is at the moment there's almost no issue in which you can find disagreement between russia and china and it comes at a time when russian american tensions are high and chinese american tensions even higher because of the trade war that's been imposed by donald trump on china senator it makes sense for the these 2 other big powers russia and china to emphasize their friendship. as a sort of contrast with what's going on with the united states is it is think that is the driving force to the fact that america is making life difficult for so many other people it's bringing their enemies together or is it because there's just lots of opportunity for deals between russia and china well there's lots of opportunities to do between russia and china. to trade $150000000000.00 roughly by natural trade which isn't sounds enormous a

you know every law enforcement agency has an internal affairs unit up at the is right you know which investigates crimes perpetrated by law enforcement professionals that's why we have so many special reasons for police officers you know we're all human. nobody's an angel in new zealand and in every profession you have some bad apples but each case has to be treated or separately and then there's the question of whether this was a crime or a mistake you know on the you have to differentiate between the 2 you know i have this question why did they grab a van gaal a knob on the street you look up if you say a drug dealer you may have to get him in the act of selling or buying drugs and they tell me well he acted weird had red eyes and he say so was which i said you know what a minute. i've done the night train my eyes are red in my face it would be so should you arrest us. or do you share any other evidence of you have to study all the spirit carefully but most of you must see that it's personal always you can say everybody's guilty or of the everybody is innocent but it's always perso

with me is henry bonsu who's a broadcaster and commentator on international affairs.on't know about you but i found this also moving, the stories are amazing and moving. it's very powerful. it's amazingly powerful. and le figaro says the morning of victory. you see how they set what happened 75 years ago today in contact and how there was the dawn of freedom and peace for europe. a ce ntre—left of freedom and peace for europe. a centre—left newspaper says further down the page, we've got a legacy from that courage, and it really has been an example of people coming together, cooperating to dominating and defeating the third reich and pave the way for american governments but also an explosion in technological, economic and cultural peace and cooperation and power. it is really an arresting image when you see those soldiers there lying in the water. this huge invasion in military recorded history. it's quite something to behold. in 40 minutes time it will be time that these thousands, millions of troops arrived on the beaches in normandy. we will be marking that moment

elliott school is we will none and respected for its preparation of students in careers of international affairs. that is a pretty broad field and your education has equipped you for a variety of occupations in the private and public sector. i wish you all the best of luck in finding jobs that satisfy your aspirations. this will sound like a tired cliche perhaps, but i hope many of you use the knowledge and skills you acquired here to make the world better. first and foremost, because the world really needs your help, but also because nothing else you do in your life will be more satisfying than helping make life better for others. there is nothing more liberating in life, my husband used to say, than serving a cause greater than your own self-interests, a cause that might encompass you, but is not defined by your existence alone. john believed that serving worthy causes brought happiness far more than pleasure and goodness know he lives experiences to prove it. family responsibilities as consuming and rewarding as they can be, don't provide quite the same kind of satisfaction you earn by servin

dr sam fowles is a fellow at the foreign policy centre which is an international affairs think tank herendon. 6ood good morning again, sam. what do you make of those two statements? the us saying the sanctions are highly effective and iran attaining this is economic warfare. this is right, both of them pulled up it has hit the uranian economy incredibly hard and although the most recent ‘s sanctions are targeted at leadership, the previous wave have been almost completely untargeted and the main victims have been ordinary people in iran. what —— what impact will these sanctions have on the relationship between iran and the us. and what might happen next in the middle east? this can only escalate the tension because the effect, these sanctions make it personal. iran threatens to continue to begin enriching uranian beyond the level. does make uranium. it doesn't seem like the eu has found a way around these sanctions yet i will continue to do so so it is likely this is the end of the nuclear deal which could only inflame tensions in the region. and also, is not sanctions against iran ina a

we are about to enter into one of the most internal affairs investigations in history. the barr a review of the russia case. if they can't hold people like this accountable it raises the question, what will they do at the end of this russia case? >> sean: one very important question. for my understanding, my sources is inspector general horowitz is probably likely done. i've had some people saying, suggesting strongly they believe that the attorney general already has the inspector general report. another was apparently heading up originally on one of the phis applications. privately, that being the first. but according to my sources, your reporting about kathleen catholics confirmation and warning and admonition to the fbi prior to the first application put that to bed in light of also the closed-door testimony of bruce or that everybody was warned. what are you hearing about the inspector general report on fisa? because that doesn't seem like a premeditated fraud against the court with unverifiable lies as something anyone can get away with. >> listen, i hear that it

in the last 30 days, michael and his team have completed a half dozen internal affairs investigations, fbi, dea attorney's office personnel, all who were confirmed to have committed illegal acts or broke the rules. not a single one of them were prosecuted. most of them are still in their jobs, are allowed to retire. here is what we are talking about what they did, an fbi lawyer who shoplifted multiple times from stores. not any store, the marine barracks commissary store where marines get their supplies from. she shoplifted from there. she did not get prosecuted, she got some community service. the assistant u.s. attorney who transported marijuana. a dea supervisor who routed hundreds of thousands of dollars to his son. another fbi supervisor who turned the fbi's official garage to a personal garage to repair his and other fbi agents' cars. all of this costs taxpayers money, all of it violated the law, none of them are prosecuted. why are we talking about this? we are about to enter into one of the most important internal affairs investigations in justice department history. the barr

riyadh william lawrence is a professor at the george washington university's elliott school of international affairs who joins us from our studios in washington what's your reading of what's going on when it comes to the strategy and the overarching principles of what's what's happening in yemen and across the border into rabia. well i think it's important to understand what's overlapping and what's not overlapping in these conflicts the yemen war and the yemen saudi conflicts have their own dynamics yemen had grabbed some territory in saudi arabia of course these drone attacks are escalating and increasingly targeting civilians and successfully so and increasingly we're seeing that with the failure of the un led negotiation process that both sides are are feeling less constrained let's say by international pressures and escalating towards you know whatever this is going to lead towards and i don't think that they ran eons are controlling entirely with the who are doing what they're targeting i think of course there are aiding in terms of technology and other aspects but seeing what's going on in th

country says it will not accept let's speak some more about this not to call then doc who is an international affairs analyst and serves as president of the international consulting firm cd global strategies group thank you so much for being with us from washington how well intended do you think this plan is this u.s. plan the so-called dean of the century does it really show that the u.s. is indeed serious about mediation between the israelis and palestinians no i don't think it demonstrates that the trumpet ministration and your question are are serious about a solution because let's keep in mind from election day 2016 donald trump and your question are so that they would be the ones with the fresh eyes that could come up with a solution that had evaded every party political party every faction every country for decades and now they present a solution that doesn't actually have the political part which is the thing that's been the challenge for the national community along so i think focusing on the economic part was just a way that they could claim a win and it doesn't represent that they are taki

greater harm and i say show interest and also harmonize their position in international affairs so more and more you see that their positions align they're not always the same but at least they're trying to. work out there are differences you have a common position so in syria it's fairly similar in ukraine there is some of the emergence of. china can't recognize crimea because of their. very strong. commitment to the principle of and territorial integrity while in their position it's also becoming more and more similar ok glad the some have to leave it there but thanks very much for joining us that live from moscow now some u.s. senators are trying to book weapons sales to saudi arabia the united arab emirates and jordan president donald trump circumvented congress last month by declaring an emergency due to growing tensions with iran and he approved 8000000000 dollars worth of arms sales which the bipartisan group of senators want drops a less cross life might see washington d.c. . is standing by in passing just why they wanted to block these sales and just how likely will they be abl

supports car alarms efforts in that regard but also warned of external intervention in hong kong's internal affairs but he wouldn't elaborate on what he meant by that he also appeared to dispute the figure that more than a 1000000 people took part in sunday's rally and protest saying he preferred to believe the figure of the hong kong government that no more than 240000 people had participated but the message he wanted to get over again and again was that beijing supports kerry. firstly the central government will continue to firmly support the government of the hong kong special administrative region to push forward the amendments of the extradition bill secondly china is strongly opposed to any external interventions in hong kong's legislative affairs state controlled media has largely ignored the events in hong kong but the china daily newspaper which tends to reflect government thinking carried an editorial on monday which blamed foreign forces for what it called the chaos in hong kong saying the people of hong kong had been hoodwinked the foreign ministry spokesman also had another message he

that they were wrongly dismissed or wrongly whatever the police department, as you saw this internal affairs or administrative advisory is floating around all over the place. >> sure, sure. >> those cannot be released except for court order or subpoena or if the officer -- any officer -- say, for example, an officer left the police department and they say how they were wrongly done -- and i'm just giving an example -- have that officer give me permission in writing to release their internal affairs file and you can look at them. >> that sounds fair. >> okay. >> mayor pete -- >> so -- >> so let's allow now for our mayor to answer the question. thank you so much. >> so, our intention will be to release as much information as we legally can as quickly as possible. [ applause ] so, as you know, there are moments, for example, during the investigation right now where pieces of evidence are still under review. but i can tell you that it will be our policy that everything that can come out come out. >> okay, thank you so much. let's make the transition now to our q & a part. there will be someone w

hammering hong kong's economy and once more accuses the united states of interfering in hong kong's internal affairs and that's the refrain you also hear from chinese officials who believe that the united states is actively involved in trying to stir up these protests we haven't heard from president xi jinping so far he's currently in kurdistan attending a summit but the timing of these protests will be embarrassing because of course they come just a few months before celebrations to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china and of course the picture of chinese students on the street clashing with police in a city where there were protests just a few years ago is not the sort of look the president xi jinping wants right now japan's prime minister is urging iran's leaders to play a constructive role in securing peace in the middle east and to abide by the 2015 nuclear deal. has warned of an accidental conflict in the region during his 2 day trip to tehran is the 1st japanese prime minister to visit iran and more than 40 years and our hopes to end the standoff between

the foreign relations commission and the senate of the republic of mexico and served as the international affairs minister of finance and public credit for 2 years. since 2015, mr. alvarez tovar has worked in the customs administration, and central administrator of customs planning and central advisor of customs and international affairs serving as the minister representative in washington, d.c. thank you for joining us. most notably, i will say, he received the chamber's kris porter collaboration award last year on behalf of us, where we honored them for their working partnership and that is added to his resume. mr. allen gina is the cofounder of ct strategies, working on supply-chain challenges in the u.s. and around the world. mr. gina's previously served as assistant commissioner for international trade of the u.s. customs and border protection. as assistant commissioner he oversaw a workforce of over 1000 employees and a budget of over $300 million. he was responsible for leading the most extensive trade transformation initiative in history. in his 30+ year career at cbpn, his predecessor ag

well gregory gause is a professor of international affairs who specializes in the gulf at texas a andm. university he says even if we exclude iran's government numerous act within iran cannot be ruled out. we're dealing mostly with speculation the united states intelligence community is very leery about revealing its sources and methods and thus i think it will be unlikely that will get much hard evidence in terms that would compromise how the united states received this information so i think that we're going to be dealing in a in an atmosphere of imperfect information going forward on this and it comes in the wake of similar attacks on tankers earlier and so it seems to me that this is a much more sustained operation and i think we shouldn't rule out the possibility that that there are actors within iran who there are numerous actors in iran this might not be the iranian government as we understand it the president the cabinet there are actors in iran that report directly to the supreme leader like the islamic revolutionary guard corps that have acted on their own in foreign policy

give our people a big a sense of achievement and we can promote the russian chinese agenda in international affairs. of the deepening bond between she and putin comes in the face of u.s. pressure on both countries russia from ongoing sanctions and china from a deepening trade conflict our moscow correspondent mia drugstore takes a look at the relationship. friendships must be cultivated to that end china bestowed an honorary doctorate on russia's president last month at a press conference for the event vladimir putin praised the 2 countries relationship good enough for the skipper china is by any measure a strategic partner so we biggest trade turnover is with china get that last year trade between the 2 countries rose 27 percent to $107000000000.00 russia sells china raw materials while china sends back machinery transport and consumer goods to increase trade the 2 are investing in new transport links like this cross border bridge over the am or river it's set to open for traffic next year but. in france we've long said that we need to build more infrastructure. right now 2 friendly countries with

trump for better or worse have has decided to use the terror weapon as is tool of choice for international affairs not just for dealing with trade problems but as we saw a few months ago in dealing with foreign policy in the immigration problem with mexico. and and so he is going to trot out that those threats and i think we can expect that the us little pose efforts to make these kinds of. generic statements about letting protectionism trump is the protections president he wants to use that to robert scott as saying international economist at the economic policy institute great to get your insights on out of there thank you. french president has been leading calls at the g. 20 summit for coordinated action on climate change and it couldn't be more timely in france has just registered its highest temperature in recorded history as europe deals with an unseasonal heat wave the southern town of vivia hit 45 point one degrees celsius breaking the record set in the 2003 heat wave and in spain more than 600 firefighters in 6 water dropping aircraft a battling a massive wildfire and the catalonia region
