iran sanctions resolution 1737, 1747. many of these resolutions were the sanctions architecture that were lifted under the iran nuclear deal, it took many years for iran to feel the effects of that pressure, but ultimately they came to the negotiating table. our strongest sanctions don't go into affect until early november. we believe that iran tends to come to the negotiating table once they feel the pressure. in the absence of that pressure, they continue to behave like they've always behaved. the sanctions relief that was given to iran as part of the nuclear deal was squandered in their foreign adventurism. one of the questions i ask, why would iran spend more money -- why would iran spend less money on terrorism if given more money to spend on terrorism? that's what this regime does. i think the iran nuclear deal was premised in part under the flawed premise this sort of relief would moderate the regime, and unfortunately we've seen the opposite. >> and i do think it's interesting even though it takes time for sanctions to take effect, it has been rather remarkable since the united states has been imposing these sanctions that the effect it is hav

iran. >> absolutely. it's generally true in diplomacy, frankly. i don't trust iran, iran doesn't trust us. carrying out incredibly mulaaligned activiti in the middle east. they are the major sponsor of state terrorism, so there are a lot of bad things about iran. but iran would be even worse if they had a nuclear weapon and could project that power into the middle east and deter our and our allies actions to stop that maligned behavior. we still had even after the deal lots of sanctions on iran for all of that bad behavior. so in this case if you want sanctions to work you need countries all around the world to enforce those sanctions. so as much as the administration hates multilateralism to get sanctions enforcement absolutely requires multilateralism. >> so i would say this, the more one doesn't like or distrust iran or north korea, the more you have to read ambassador sherman's brand new book. it's called not for the faint of heart, lessons in persistence and power. when you understand how hard it is to do that, you gain new respect for the system. ambassador wendy sherman, thank you a

iran missile proliferation. but the iran nuclear deal separated these two issues. it removed iran's missile development from the equation and focused on restraining one facet of the proliferation at one -- at the expense of one versus the other. this is one shortcoming and one reason the president decided to end our participation in it. the deal failed to protect the american people, in part because it failed to address iran's dangerous spread of missiles across the middle east. however, this was not always the case. prior to the iran deal, the international community agreed that the best way to constrain iran's nuclear threat was to also address if long-range -- it's long-range ballistic missile capability. this is why the security council took action in 2010. the targeting of ballistic missiles. the security council of 1929 prohibits around under chapter 7 from undertaking any activity related to ballistic missiles, capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using ballistic missile technology. even with this prohibition, drunken -- proceeded to conduct multiple lunc

was not declared from saudi arabia to keep just blame in iran and iran and iran actually i mean look at this the bull blockade about forty years they controlled yemen sky they destroyed all the airport control the sea. how can it run as you mentioned supply all this weapons so this means that you are blockade actually that you started to stop the flow of weapons as you meant to yemen has failed this mean that you are responsible for all do civilians that have died because of of this idea that coalition in yemen and his british government he when he spoke about that there was many agreement that has been signed with the jose but during the like the biggest piece told but they haven't like it kept the world he doesn't mention any agreement in if they haven't signed anything the what was in quite it was about they have the political process and they had the security process that's out there that coalition want to start with the security process asking the movement to hunt their weapons and they said then we will start of a political process no one is crazy we'll hunt is his weapons befor

iran dr. i think that's part of it and if you know the neo conservative philosophy like i know the neo conservative philosophy you know that their big target is iran their fascinations their fixation is iran i think they might be getting ready to be surprised personally i'll put my. magic hat on and say that i think we're going to have a singapore moment with regard to iran and i think the president is going to turn the tables on john bolton mike pompei o and the rest of those nutcases in the administration i think we're going to have an extended invitation to rouhani to zarif and trump is going to find a city geneva comes to mind and they're going to sit down if ronnie and zarif will eventually accept and trump is going to go to that meeting and he's going to sit down with these iranian leaders and he's then going to say right before the u.s. midterm elections so it'll be a november surprise he's going to say i have just worked out a deal it's better than the deal president obama worked out and we're going to talk about it further and he's going to hope that has a really dynamic positive political impact on the midterm elections because right now in this country it's looking like the rep

those troops, your mission is to stay here and deter iran until iran leaves, they would say, yes, that's our mission. we are not operating against iran and we are here as part of a strategy against iran because that would be illegal. >> congressman, our forces were sent to syria to defeat isis. it is true -- >> why is there withdrawal according to the national security adviser dependent on iran withdrawing its forces? >> i think he's making the analytical judgment that -- >> it's not an analytical judgment. you are telling troops when they can go home. you're telling the parents of these troops when they can come home. if your son or daughter was in iraq or was in syria right now and the national security adviser said your daughter can come home when iran leaves, it seems to me that's pretty dependent on iran. >> i understand, the guidance that we've been given is we are there to bring about the enduring defeat of isis. we are proud of the progress that we have made, but we understand that there is a tough fight ahead and that the diplomatic effort is going to end up being predominant. >> the national security adviser has given you d

troops to syria as part of a strategy to deter iran with the guidance that they will not withdraw until iran withdraws its forcesst not a deterrent against iran. if i ask those troops and say your tour is to stay here until iran leaves and they say, yes, that's our mission, we're not operating against iran. of course, that would be illegal. >> congressman, our forces were sent to syria to defeat isis. >> with is there withdrawal according to the national security adviser, dependent upon iran withdrawing its forces? >> i think he's making an analytical judgment -- >> it's not an analytical judgment. you're telling these troops when they can go home. you're telling the parent whs when their sons and daughters can go home. if the national security adviser said your daughter can come home when iran leaves, it seems to me, that's pretty dependent on iran. >> skongman, the guidance we have been given is we're there to bring about the defeat of isis. we're proud of the progress we've made. the diplomatic pressure is going to be predominant. >> the national security adviser has given you different guidance. if that's what the troops are hearing f tha

itself in the position of an international judge accuse iran in their domestic court and then condemn iran implement the ruling and confiscate iran's assets it's obvious that their evidence is illegal and the incident itself is also under question while the world court has no power to enforce decisions for iran there's more on the line than two billion dollars which this case is another chance for iran to take america to task on a world stage opening remarks by the u.s. legal team looked to be a tough act to follow lawyers representing the iranian side begin their opening remarks on wednesday same. to her on. a deal between russia and turkey to prevent a syrian government offensive in the last couple help moving forward rebels have removed all heavy weapons from the front line and it led creating a twenty kilometer demilitarized zone and this is a condition to avoid an assault on the province which is home to three million people are reports. the turkish army has reinforced its observation posts all around province which borders turkey and sent additional troops to patrol a planned demilitarized zone to separate government forces f

iranian agents in syria pressure on iran around the world pressure on iran and iraq especially southern iraq and ultimately perhaps even military action against iran in company with the us a saudi arabia and perhaps even israel as being ultimately the thing they will turn to if regime change doesn't come out come about some other way that's why i liken it to two thousand and two and two thousand and three it looks like the same road map to me all over again can america afford to deal with iran and cause instability there a force in neighboring iraq and afghanistan aren't even a livery at. asking my opinion absolutely no we can't look at it twenty two trillion dollars in debt looking at an interest payment on that debt that's going to equal the defense budget next year the next looking at almost no discretionary federal spending when you put those two things together the defense budget and the interest payment on the debt no we can't afford it but we seem to have leaders who like dick cheney and two thousand and two believe that deficits don't matter believe that as long as we control the world's transactional currency it's reserve currency the dol

conflict on so many issues with iran come back to the nuclear agreement try to bring this back to the table in a sensible way and create a win win relation with iran iran there are differences with iran there are issues with iran even in the arab world at large from syria all the way to other places but it shouldn't be as the result situation it shouldn't be zero sum it must get to the point where a dialogue between the gulf and iran can take place and the u.s. could encourage that at one level or another now come to cut that yes i believe the u.s. has to strengthen its relation to qatar to kuwait strengthen its relation to our man strengthen its relation to anybody in the region and i see the need for balance and the need for a reasonability reasonable thinking and a policy that is not adventurous and there are plenty there are many leaders in the region go it is one of them cut that is another and and should find a way to stop them and war because they i mean war is a tragedy it is at the edge of the ongoing daily with many many killed civilians more than anything else destruction of entire nation and who is going to rebuild yemen let me they're goin

when we acquired these works everyone thought that iran was a third world country and not worthy of art or to hide it in binary iran how if it make iran iran. you know so now go to. even forty years ago iran was already seeking acceptance on an international level and looking to free itself from western influences. tonne of only as guiding principle is an artist doesn't have to adhere to western ways of seeing in order to be an artist. and artists should not seek acceptance from outside himself neither from orient nor oxidant. the date of the berlin opening was approaching increasing media interest fueled criticism of the cultural exchange with the islamic republic from various quarters . one accusation was that germany would be giving iran money through the prussians cultural heritage foundation. to shrink it was amazing that the world's major museums pay low eighty's when loan fiends are expected then we say ok sorry we're out of that was clear to us from the outset and we quickly made it clear to our iranian colleagues that this is not about known fees but about a serious calculation of an exhibition of this kind of you know. all t

some sort of money to he's part of iran and a very popular pot of iran but russia is able to sort of say you know well we can deal with the suspect with iran that we may disagree with them on their relationship with israel i don't know but listening to the russian relationship with turkey for example exactly exactly but that's the sort of essence of your asian ism as i understand it is that you know you respect the people have different cultures but you also understand it's multi led culture it's not just a single in westernized idea of mono valence of a single value that you give to her you see it in the western one of these is always is the one liner here of north korea before we were before. us or against us and so those ideas which i think are emanating out of russia and because russia had a particular experience of you know the worst of all worlds in the recent history i mean of total liberalism economic new liberalism. stalin ism before that is really quite got its sovereignty back and its aim is to keep it always through says all the time we have here and went way too fast to provoke you very much for talking to r.t. thank you. this

iran this is a decision frankly that is thirty nine years overdue. enjoy iran brought a case in the international court of justice alleging violations of the treaty of amity. iran seeks to challenge the united states decision to cease participation in the iran nuclear deal and to reimpose the sensors that were lifted as part of that deal our correspondent will have an update for you later this hour on that u.s. iran sanctions battle as well as america's problematic relations with international bodies. and the u.k.'s conservative party conference has wrapped up in the city of birmingham and despite speeches of unity the prime minister's position is under further scrutiny from our own party just moments before to resume a was you to give a closing speech she was dealt yet another blow with a letter of no confidence that hasn't apparently dampened spirits the. the reason why small victories you can see as she approached the podium. to be the prime minister responding to those who mocked her daughter's move so what i'm tall and africa back in august going to the store. certainly curious political times here in the u.k. as we speak and this annual conservative party

was not declared from saudi arabia to keep just blame in iran and iran and iran actually i mean look at this the bull blockade about forty years they controlled or yemen sky they destroyed all the airport control the sea. how can it run as you mentioned supply all this weapon so this means that you are blockade actually that you started to stop the flow of weapons as you meant to yemen has failed this mean that you are responsible for all do civilians that have died because of of the saudi led coalition in yemen and his believe his commitment he when he spoke about that there was many agreement that has been signed with the holy but during the like the biggest piece told but they haven't like it kept the world he doesn't mention any agreement in kuwait they haven't signed anything the what was in kuwait was about they have the political process and they had the security process that's out there that coalition want to start with the security process asking the movement to hunt their weapons and they said then we will start of a political process no one is crazy will hunt is his weapons

medical industry they must allow iran to purchase spare parts for their airlines many people in iran have died over the last thirty forty years because the americans preventing iran from obtaining spare parts. so the you know the issues that the demand the issue is of course is president only following a ruling well that's the that's the issue that if trump if his administration decides not to get involved here with the international court of justice then iran stuck in a limbo again. well ron has already come into a meeting with. its partners across the globe with chinese companies that don't deal with the united states they're using alternative currencies such as the yuan such as the ruble the iranian friend c p they're not trading and that. and with other neighbors as well so that ron is already limiting the usage of the u.s. dollar working increasingly with companies that don't deal with the united states and iran is a very powerful country it has fifteen neighbors so the united states impact on the iranian economy is not as great as the americans would like it to be but i think if nothing comes out of this it is a moral victory for you ron it shows that the u

iran's intelligence agency that is after all alleging tehran planned to bomb an iranian opposition group rally near paris u.s. state department has backed that move we've seen what iran has done in syria we've seen right iran has done in other countries we see iran's devastation that it causes around the world as the world's top sponsor of terrorism. that comes after iran's ambassador to the u.n. accused saudi arabia of sponsoring terrorism during his address add to the recent

iran. iran is one of the big concerns at the moment for the us. they're concerned about the way turkey does business and the way they are reaching out to iran. they want to address. this has opened the potential of maybe talks between turkey and the us. you still get the sense that relationships are not good, although this gives a chance for them to be improved. chris, just briefly, presumably for pastor brunson‘s family and friends, this cannot come a day too soon, to see him on his way back to the us. absolutely. it is a point worth making. he has been through an awful lot. you had president trump saying as far as he is concerned he has suffered an awful lot. he went on to say as far as he is concerned he is in good shape. at the end of that trial, whenever effectively they got the verdict, he said "i am an innocent man. i love jesus. i love turkey. " when the verdict was read out he wept and hugged his wife, who has been very concerned about this. he hasn't spent all of that time in jail. there has been time spent under house arrest. that is partly because he has been in some ill health. getting back to america will be a priority. he will

iran this is a decision frankly that is thirty nine years overdue iran is abusing the i.c.j. for political and propaganda purposes and their case as you can see even the decision lacked merit given iran's history of terrorism ballistic missile active and other mind behaviors iran's claims under the treaty are absurd the court's ruling today was a defeat for ron and rose donald trump's a national security adviser has also been talking about this what's he been saying . well not only has john bolton basically agreed with mike pompei o that the i.c.j. had no business even taking the iranian case and delighting in the fact that iran essentially lost most of what it had tried to get in terms of relief from the court john bolton also of then said in another matter involving the i.c.j. that the us was going to well walk away from an optional protocol or amendment to the one nine hundred sixty one vienna convention on diplomatic relations that protocol or amendment says that when two governments have a dispute about their diplomatic relationship one party can bring it to the i.c.j. which will act as the or betrayed or try to resolve the conflict well in this particular case we're talking about

that iran is responsible for everything wrong in the world or iran is the number one sponsor of terrorism iran is is is a regional threat of course this is all nonsense but this is what the israelis and the saudis want and that is the primary policy that it unites washington with riyadh and i think they find it want to find some way to preserve that so i think this is a way of emphasizing in an american context of that we somehow need the saudis in order to confront this very very evil threat coming from iran i just a moment here not international most stories still to come your way on this those day including a new law in the italian city of lodhi is suspected of targeting so-called economic migrants more on that in just a myth. china is in the software it's in the hardware as opposed to this so-called threat from russia where they're spreading needs that influence people to vote against their better interest they put a meme of a bernie sanders as a. beach. body builder and this war the minds of america to vote against their interests but china is actually infiltrating the hardware with actua

power in the gulf region it needs to partner with a local power and that means saudi arabia or iran. iransionist power that is largely opposed to the status quo, but saudi arabia is largely for it, so it is really no choice at all from the united states. they have to communicate to the saudi government that this kind of thing is not acceptable and get them to stop being so reckless. the united states and saudi arabia are pursuing regional stability and you can't do that with these kind of reckless and destabilising tactics if this is true, as it seems to be. i will be calling king solomon of saudi arabia because it would be appropriate for me to ask him what is going on. we'll bring you the latest from washington. also tonight... parts of wales suffer their worst flooding in 30 years as storm callum causes chaos. ahead of afghanistan's parliamentary elections, more than 20 people are killed in a bomb attack. derek is! freddie burns! he has dropped it! and in rugby, a nightmare finish hands toulouse victory over bath. good evening. president trump has promised to inflict severe punishment

amity with iran, a treaty iran made a mockery of with its support for terrorism, provocative ballistic missile proliferation. today decision at the international court of justice was a defeat for iran. it correctly denied almost all of their requests. we're disappointed that the i.c.j. failed to recognize it has no standing about any sanctions. instead the court allowed iran to use it as a forum for propaganda. the iranian regime has systematically pursued a policy of hs tillity toward the united states that defames the central premise of the treaty of amity. the regime cannot prackity -- practice animosity and its conduct and then ask for amity under international law. in addition to the treaty of amity, i am announcing that the president has decided that the united states will withdraw from he optional protocol and dispute revolution -- resolution to the vienna agreement, this is in connection with a case brought by the so-called state of palestine naming the united states as a defendant, channeling our move of our embassy from tell avive to jerusalem. to stress, the united states remains a party to the underlying vienna convention on diplomatic relations and we expect all other

on side against iran let's remember that the trumpet ministration for a number of reasons but i think primarily influence from israel and saudi arabia has a vendetta against iran that iran is responsible for everything wrong in the world or iran is the number one sponsor of terrorism iraq is is is a regional threat of course this is all nonsense but this is what the israelis and the saudis want and that is the primary policy that it unites washington with riyadh and i think they find want to find some way to preserve that so i think this is a way of emphasizing it in american context of that we somehow need the saudis in order to confront this very very evil threat coming from iran. well a new law in the italian city of lodhi is suspected of targeting so-called economic migrants more on that and the rest of your stores in a much. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime tampa he did . eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per seco

iran. iran is a revolutionary and revisionist power that is largely opposed to the status quo, but saudi arabia is largely for it so it is really no choice at all from the united states. they have do communicate to the saudi government that this kind of thing is not acceptable and get them to stop being so reckless. the united states and saudi arabia are pursuing regional stability and you can't do that with these kind of reckless and destabilising tactics if this is true, as it seems to be. you wonder how saudi arabia can exonerate itself beyond what it has already done? jamal khashoggi has been missing now for a number of days and the denials continue. what other choices does the united states have for a different partner in the region if it cannot be saudi arabia at least for a while? none. it will be saudi arabia. the 0bama administration toyed with asking the question of whether they could be a partnership with iranhether they could ask the question regarding the nuclear deal and they found iran was totally unwilling to become a stabilising force in the region and persisted with supporting terrorist groups and destabilising its neighbours and backing these militias and the united states could not see eye to eye with iran on anything. there are other allies, bahrain, qatar, kuwait, or close allies, but it has got to be saudi arabia. saudi arabia agrees with the united states on most of its long—term goals, although not its values, that is increasingly clear, and has always been clear, but the basic goals are relatively in concert and iran's are not and so that means the united states unless it would like to rethink its strategic posture in the persian gulf is stuck with saudi arabia and vice versa. russia and china do not have the ability and the interest in playing that role of the main guarantor regional stability from the outside, so these people are joined at the head whether they like it or n

assets of iran's intelligence agency that after alleging tehran planned to bomb iran ian opposition groups rally near paris and the u.s. state department has backed the move we've seen what iran has done in syria we've seen right iran has done in other countries we see iran's devastation that it causes around the world as the world's stop top sponsor of terrorism. that comes after iran's ambassador to the u.n. accused saudi arabia of sponsoring terrorism during his address at the recent u.n. general assembly meeting held in new york everybody knows very well that saudi arabia supports terrorism and a very blatant and widespread manner in the framework of we keep the x. in two thousand and nine hillary clinton is said to have stated that saudi arabia is the greatest you know to terrorist groups around the world. according to those documents obtained by wiki leaks events secretary of state hillary clinton called saudi arabia the most significant source of funding to sunni terrorist groups worldwide she also allegedly names saudi arabia a critical financial support base for al qaeda the taliban and other terrorist groups let's cross live now to. who is a political scientist than

iran. let's remember that the trumpet ministration for a number of reasons but i think primarily influence from israel and saudi arabia has a vendetta against iran that iran is responsible for everything wrong in the world or iran is the number one sponsor of terrorism iraq is is is a regional threat of course this is all nonsense but this is what the israelis and the saudis want and that is the primary policy that it unites washington with riyadh and i think they find it want to find some way to preserve that so i think this is a way of emphasizing it in american context to that we somehow need the saudis in order to confront this very very evil threat coming from iran. the mayor of the italian city of lodhi has ordered old migrant families to provide documents about their financial status including any property they might own in their home countries a failure to comply could result in a loss of a social benefits including school lunches subsidies for the children. that's this we're in the same room but we have to say in the back corner. if there are people who have money how's this or land in their home countries why should we give them services for fre

arabia a bit as the previous speaker was saying related to iran and the desire to have a loyal that would cover the losses from iran when iran sanctions kick in in about a week or two isolate iran more through gulf partnerships as well as looking to saudi arabia to put pressure on the palestinians related to middle east peace and so there is a significant investment we also don't know what is happening behind the scenes with jericho shinar and other senior officials in the white house and certainly if the democrats take a chamber of congress they're going to look into that but right now the white house has leverage deeply into the relationship with saudi arabia and is very loath to weaken that. joe rubin just one more question to you before we move on to the rest of august koran is very much on the cards on the table has been for a very long time but in the last four weeks we've heard about pressure being put on saudi arabia pressure being put on the crown prince himself is the trumpet ministrations iranian strategy in tatters right. i wouldn't say it's in tatters but it's under duress there is certainly a lot of questioning

iran say it's only the beginning it could have gone differently iran could have conducted a ground campaign in tandem with syrian allies but flying its own missiles through iraqi air space to hit a target inside syria by itself is about sending a message to everyone with a military presence there think twice before threatening iran. iran. lebanon's government has taken diplomats and journalists on a tour of beirut to disprove israeli claims of hezbollah bases israeli prime minister told the un general assembly that the armed group has hidden missile sites near the international airport but lebanon says that these are false allegations to justify an attack so how to reports from beirut. lebanon is on a diplomatic offensive its foreign ministers. invited ambassadors and the media to tour sites that israel says are hiding has missile production facilities there within an area controlled by the iranian backed lebanese armed group in beirut's southern suburbs among them the a head football stadium but a political ally of hezbollah is accusing israel of lies to justify an attack against lebanon on this group that there are many statements made affirming the four session of accurate as well however this does not mean that those missiles present the vicinity of beirut airport. israel's military says the facilities used
