we have the internal markets.ut we will not re— negotiate the eu because, yes, brexit will be damaging, even if there is no cliff edge, no crashing out of the eu. if there is a crushing out, it will be even more damaging. but i'm picking the internal market will be the worst scenario and we will not do that. if you say bluff... i have noticed that in recent weeks, in the british media, and you are actually making the same point here, they are trying to kind of intimidate the eu in two, oh, if you do not accept our terms and it will be terrible for you. i think we should be... maybe it is time for little bit of honesty in politics and maybe people should have been told before the brexit referendum on what reality was going to be like a. the vote has taken place, that is clear. that is the situation we have to deal with. and it will hurt. we are not going to one do the internal market. be from me to intimidate anybody, i am looking at the recap —— the reality of what is happening. not in terms of economics but also

roosevelt said the office of the white house is an office of international politics and offices international morality needs john statesman not real estate agents this administration cannot be a partner and of course we our only option is to stay on this land and to be in this land today between the level of jordan and the military and we are the majority as palestinian arabs bustin and christian and muslim arabs we're fifty point nine percent jews are forty nine point one percent what are they going to do with us other than creating extremism and then you know when violence spread and people are being killed and what side then israel would say all of these people have it in their d.n.a. they are terrorists and so on i have devoted twenty five years of my life in negotiations with israel save lives raise ample us any and to live and let live we have a good night there's a right to exist we have accepted a syrian state with the recent of skeletal to live side by side in peace and security with the state of israel and the ninety six seven lines. what did is a good return more settlements more d

internal market, are now reproaching the european union for actually protecting the internal market.e internal market is very important and i think that is also our interest in the future. they have made their choice. this is what the tory party, or at least a large part of the tory party wanted. it's not for us now to solve the problems of the tory party. it's actually for politicians on all sides, including in the uk, to begin being honest. the whole idea that you can have brexit and you can cherry pick... this whole. .. people are using the sentence, "we're going to make brexit a success." why aren't they honest and say there is no such thing as a successful brexit because it will always hurt and it will hurt many people, but it will hurt primarily people in the united kingdom. i find that very sad. what they should do is not expect the eu to undo the eu and the internal market, what they must do is be honest to their own voters. there is a sense in which, with your stance and some would describe it as intransigent. i know you reject that. but your absolute insistence on the laws

trade, so before we trashed the international trade and the international trade system, let's look atis not trashing the trade system is here in the uk the prominent brexiteer, jacob rees—mogg, the conservative mp says about brexit, when britain, if they were to leave with no deal he says trading with the eu on wto terms would work well for the uk and would allow the uk to achieve brexit sooner. the british government said the chances of a no—deal brexit are very real. so just outline for us, what would it mean in practice for the uk to trade on wto terms? eu on wto is like chalk and cheese. eu is a market. so today when you export from london to berlin it is like you are from london to birmingham, right? it's the same, it's one single market. the same rules apply in, no borders. moving back to the wto means establishing a border. exporting from london to berlin orfrom london to paris would have to cross a border, and the question today is, how thick is this border going to be? and that is a question that needs to be answered here in the uk. so could they do that, the day after a no—d

tariffs are causing far reaching damage international relations professor peter shergold believes the u.s. is using trade as a foreign policy tool. but you got this diet off the trump administration and just personal appearances and public affairs a rationale behind something he is trying to wage economic war against even against us and by doing this off. threatening them that it would annoy and loyalty this obedience and partnership dominated by the united states i think that trump understands military means to me safety and that i do not solve problems anymore you have to do it indirectly by by economic political or financial means and this is what this conflict is playing out and i think because this is a this is a policy we have to get on sets for and i don't see it's a moment apart from the public appearances of europeans no read and so a conscious strategy. dozens of families are in mourning in yemen after a saudi airstrike hit a school bus on thursday killing twenty nine children u.s. state department called on the coalition to investigate but underlined that saudi arabia is a

the iss is truly international and needs to remain that way. pedro: nasa administrator jim bridenstine joining us for this conversation on "newsmakers." caleb, go ahead. caleb: so the head of the russian space agency, dmitry rogozin, i believe that he is banned by u.s. sanctions from visiting the u.s. have you met with him? mr. bridenstine: not yet. i intend to in the near future. we are working on how we maintain this relationship given those constraints. i am very confident we will be able to work it out. christian: question about the commercial crew program, boeing and spacex flying astronauts to the international space station. they have announced new dates without crew and with crew. the crewed flights -- they had mentioned mid 2019 for boeing. there have been repeated delays and setbacks in the program. are you confident they will fly on those dates, and if so, what gives you the confidence? mr. bridenstine: we are confident. we did not -- when you think about what commercial crew is, we did not write out thousands of requirements and spe

i didn't come into office with an international agenda. i didn't come in aiming to be standing on this stage at the us conference of mayors after two years of office. it is just something that is come upon us. i think the same goes for all of us. we found a world in which national governments, people are increasingly disillusioned with politics, where services are failing to reach, the global economy is failing to include people and people and environmental trends seem to be beyond our control, leaving people vulnerable to being seduced by simplistic analysis from a european and uk perspective of people who are political charlatans offering wrong answers to the right problems. city leaders at this time have no choice but to step into that political vacuum and get organized. and observation by martin luther king that i love and share with a number of people in cities, tablet doesn't come neatly wrapped in government parcels. it is a social force and it is available to all of us but it is available toward those who get organized. conservativ

it was an international agreement. it had u.n. resolution. despite all of this, president trump after obama publicly said it is a bad mistake and i am going to kill it. how the u.s. can assure iranian's if there is a negotiation, if there is an agreement, the next u.s. president is not going to do what president trump did with obama's negotiation? this is the first question. second, what is the base? president trump, if you really wants a normal relation with iran, then we have three criteria. the first criteria is the treaty inween iran and u.s. signed 1955, which is for economic relations and consular rights. yes, the u.s. and iran have any problems about their citizens in iran and in the u.s. and there is a ready treaty between iran and the u.s. resolving all consulate issues. yes, president trump is willing to have a share of the nuclear deal to have economic share, to have some share for the u.s. them up but 1955 treaty has defined excellent economic relations between iran and the --. line iran recently had filed a lawsuit against the ne

you are international leaders and you set an international standard whether you know it or not. the whole world is watching what you do. and we recognize that you are not just nation shapers you are global shapers. so in the challenges of organizing the world cities i ask you to take the lead and not in challenging the existing network to get better organized. to get more organized on that. and on that front i would like to say i would like to welcome any and all of you to bristle to advance this work at this year's level parliament. let's work together to target the international bodies from him we want to have four more city representations. in conclusion i would just like to say. i believe that this moment has found us as city leaders. when i was elected two years ago i did not come into office with an international agenda i did not come in aiming to be centered on the stage at the u.s. conference of men. just after two years of office. it's just something that has come upon us. and i think the same goes for all of us. what we found is a world in which national governments ar

that is where everybody looks to us and also, we have unbelievable international unlikely international partnerships. with the chinese, what you're talking about planetary science, looking at earthquake -- earthquakes, those areas were scientists in the world who could care less what nation you come from. they've got a focus on some tough problems to make the world a better place to be. nasa provides a great place to assemble and take a look at those different kinds of things. >> itch of your thoughts on future plans for the international space station retirement around 2024 can be 2024, they handed over the commercial partners and operators. do they need more time to make the transition or can they make it by 2024, and what happens if it doesn't? >> we put together the request for information which ultimately seven years from now would you be able to add a consortium of companies? would you be able to manage it in a way that would be cost-effective and close the business case for the great return on investment? here's the most important thing to take away from it. we had a period of ti

leaders and you set an international standard, whether you know it or not. the whole world is watching what you do. we recognize that you are not just nation shapers. you are global shapers. [applause] >> in these challenges of organizing the world cities, i ask you to take a lead in that, in challenging the existing networks to get better organized and to work with us on that. on that front, i would like to welcome any and all of you to bristol at this year's global parliament of mayors. let's work together to target the international bodies from whom we want to have formal city representation. in conclusion, i would like to say that i believe this moment has found us as city leaders. ago i was elected two years , i did not come into office with an international agenda, aiming to be standing on this stage of the u.s. conference of mayors just after two years of office. it is just something that has come upon us. i think the same goes for all of us. what we found is a world in which national governments are not delivering, in which people are increasingly di

efforts or by international or u.s. efforts there has to be a will to act that's what it has to be a wealth to and the sufferings of twenty six million people in the poorest country in the world last year we heard being be at the world for minutes crisis. in fifty years and since that happened since then over one thousand five hundred civilians have been killed by the war and not to mention over forty thousand killed by talking for due to medical reasons for sources they were able to get your treatment for no one cared because of the human being a poor country but i do feel that. commenting world. understands he needs to be a person. to help the i'm going to forgive your manager said the u.n. resolution needs to be more lenient because it's because with the support. right now it different changed it's a different scenario but you have different powers over ground. parents where which was the case when this revolution took place every reason that situation indeed but we have reached the end of the programs or thank you v

the international political coverage of ortega is now very weak. as you probably know, the pensions against nicaragua one. it was on july 18 and they recommended the repression against the population and then on august 2, they established the working group of latin american countries to look for a resolution of nicaragua. then insecurity, it's a major concern, not only for the leaders of the process but of normal people and business sector and those have had of course a severe impact on the economy of nicaragua. there have been more i would say areas of pressure again to the nicaragua regime on the part of the international community then the pressure that was put on venezuela as they more or less assessed them in a moment like this in venezuela area latin america has taken a new approach which is not a problem but has not been common till now. as i said, the commission of human rights, the organization of american states, the us and the european union. and they have been an inevitable major source of migration. which has especially been channeled

they fear they have to add something so i don't see international community any strong willingness to stop this and for that i have to sext straight away you know it's been going on one ear why is taking so long how many really does need to be killed to feel to force to take action you know from international community like u.k. usa e.u. and asean countries we have not seen any stronger action you know even they are is such a shame you know deviating the word genocide crime and us immunity you know this is already you can see how military intention is there intentionally does drain commune as a whole community you know all this is clear unfortunately this is not supporting from government so we need to move we had to bring international criminal court these military moderates me are lying and others to international criminal court because they are ngo in m.p. nitty is not only atrocities facing in kachin you know kachina shan machine and qur'an many are other minorities in burma they have face must atrocities by this military for we in a year like into the security council must for i.

president you need to have basic access for international n.g.o.s you have to have security guarantees for the road they should have freedom of movement they should have citizenship a whole long list of thing where the burmese government has even started on this and in fact you know what they're really doing is they're trying to play games with the international media they're trying to create the image that they're serious about bringing people back with this group of sixty two that we documented who had been imprisoned and then finally released of this reception center you know they want to say that they're serious they want to blame bangladesh for not sending people back when in fact it's it's burma that is not prepared to receive them and no one should forget that. you can look there are rights groups that have started. saying out the case by which they say that what happened in iraq kind should be considered a genocide and should be considered that by the international criminal court the un says that it's a textbook example of ethnic cleansing there are u.n. officials who have said

humanitarian law and international human rights law to protect the civilians as he mentioned before efforts to get the two sides to the table had the u.n. special envoy just. recently isn't nuff pressure being put on the warring parties to put down their weapons and start talking when the u.n. special envoy and other international humanitarian community is there have been doing all that is possible including i mean putting a clear. plan asking all the warring parties to come to geneva on sixth of september however it is basically the u.s. u.k. and france and other members did you have the moral obligation and power and authority to ask the conflicting parties and here we do think that our exposure is . bigger and they need to do more. sensitive he thanks very much for joining us from. well the outgoing director of the international committee of the red cross robert madine tweeted his reaction saying it's high time for these relapsing tragedies to stop in yemen no one should allow putting children in harm's way and making them pay such an acceptable price. it's not the first time coa

on international politics. this goes back to about a sense of global citizenship. i have the privilege to be in southeast asia this summer and i had the luck to meet people across the world but there were not many americans. there weren't even that many american tourists in thailand or in southeast asia in general compared to other countries. it seems like americans have lost the sense of -- daring to explore the world. what are your opinions of our generations, the things we can do to raise the awareness of globalness, to have the courage to go to explore the world further? thank you. >> thank you. yes, ma'am, in the black. >> hi, my name is carol beason and i'm also a freshman in the elliott school -- >> you have so many freshmen because classes just just startled. they don't have homework yet. >> so far i think it's 80% freshmen. >> what is one less obvious conflict or problem in the world that people ignore but could have serious consequences fit continues to go unnoticed? >> great question. gentleman, in t

the mood music on international trade has changed very much, to your detriment.changed very much, to your detriment. well, no, i would not say so. detriment. well, no, i would not say so. i would tell you that there is a huge geostrategic rivalry between the us and china, and maybe it is not that bad that the biggest expression of this rivalry is international trade. why is that? because economies being so interrelated today, the fact that there is this huge rivalry and a contention to go unilateral is making a lot of the coalition is in every country mobilise international trade, so maybe it is not that bad. they are saying that they are sort of carrying out a proxy war to trade that might be worse otherwise? what iam that might be worse otherwise? what i am saying is that in trade, despite maybe a bit more rational thanit despite maybe a bit more rational than it would be in other areas. like militarily? like militarily, like diplomatic, like we have seen climate change, for example. and why is that? because there is a system of rules today that makes countries

or international powers because it's so splintered now we know that these u.n. sponsored talks in a debate taking place in september one of the prospects of it breaking the cycle of conflict any and then the problem with proxy wars is that local actors become dependent on hostage to regional international powers so while yemenis were involved in the whole of this in particular have been drivers for the crisis since two thousand and fourteen two thousand and fifteen but since then because of their involvement in saudi arabia the so-called coalition clearly it's really outside the hands of the yemenis in the yemenis as we've known them i mean and this really contrary to the reports that we're seeing in our days historically yemen has called the human side happy yemen yemenis are known for honey. and for a stimulant drug called cut that's what the country is known for it's not for honey it's not known for cholera and the misery that we see today so while it is one of the poorest countries in the region it really doesn't deserve the kind of indifference and the kind

roosevelt so the office of the white house is an office of international military an office of international morality needs john statesman not real estate agents this administration cannot be a partner and of course we our only option is to stay on this land and to be in this land today between the river jordan and the military and we are the majority as palestinian arabs but austin and christian and muslim arabs we're fifty point nine percent jews are forty nine point one percent what are they going to do with us other than creating extremism and then you know when violence spread and people are being killed and what side then israel would say all of these people have it in their d.n.a. there are terrorists and so on. i have devoted twenty five years of my life in negotiations with israel to save lives resample athenians to live and let live we have a good.

sanctions iran wants the international court of justice to suspend the u.s. sanctions imposed three weeks ago its argument is based on an one nine hundred fifty five friendship treaty signed two decades before the islamic revolution when iran was a u.s. ally mr president iran's request warrants another observation before i proceed it rests on the basis of a treaty who central purpose friendship with the united states iran has expressly and repeatedly disavowed since nine hundred seventy nine in its words and actions by sponsoring terrorism and other malign activity against united states citizens and interests. in other words the situation that the parties find themselves in today is nowhere near what was contemplated when the treaty was concluded in one nine hundred fifty five canada's foreign minister is due in the united states for talks off to donald trump announced a new trade agreement with mexico the us president says he hopes the canadians can be part of the new deal to replace the north american free trade agreements known as. mean mars government is

security council how do you expect the international community to progress on an international audience watching this program watching in the next few weeks thinking you know the u.n. and the international community can't really do anything. well i think the distinction needs to be made there syria is a little bit different than me and one in syria is killing all syrians killing all people i think the analogy that we should use here with me you know maher is rwanda bosnia where certain ethnic religious and racial groups are being specifically targeted and discretely. were being killed at other mass with the intent to destroy in whole or in part an entire demographic group which is the definition of genocide and so i think that's important to keep in mind is that burma has over a hundred different ethnic groups but is the root india muslim minority in burma that is active. for the. salon if the car i think. will be the light and by your clarification of thanks very much for being on the program my pleasure thank you. uganda's high court has granted bail to opposition leader bobby wine th
