korean officials actually walked out of the meeting and last week again they were railing against mike pompei as the u.s. secretary of state and saying that he's reckless that he should be removed from talks so now kim is kind of showing look i also have i also have these russian partners and of course there's also an economic factor as is so often the case in these these political meetings. kim is trying to expand ties with russia after all things aren't looking so rosy for the north korean economy with sanctions really biting and china is its main trade partner but russia is also an important source of income there are thousands of north korean workers just over the border in russia which have provided an important source of a foreign currency for the country so that is something that kim is hoping to get out of this meeting today expanding ties because so that's where north korea is coming from the russians saw it with interest. in meeting kim jong il. well for putin the economic side of things isn't so important north korea isn't such a valuable trade partner for russia but this meeting h

on the news that my pump give any assurances that could relieve the tension well we heard from mike pompei o and it seems like washington d.c. is looking to escalate its campaign against iran to isolate iran now in his announcement pompei zero bragged that iran has already lost about ten billion dollars and he said and his remarks the emphasized basically that nobody should be doing any business with iran this is my pump ale. any nation or entity interacting with iran should use its diligence and err on the side of caution the risks are simply not going to be worth the benefits if you don't abide by this they'll be sanctions now it's been about a year since the trumpet ministration unilaterally losing unilaterally withdrew from the j c p o o a the p five plus one nuclear conclusion that basically pulled the united states out of the nuclear deal that had been made with iran and now we see that there have been eight countries in the world that were were granted waivers and allowed to continue buying iranian oil in exchange for the fact they were reducing it they were granted waivers from the

promotes and finances terrorism as a stew a tool of statecraft now we've heard similar sentiments from mike pompei oh he said that this designation is to send a message to the iranian government this is mike bomb pale. the leaders of iran are record tears not revolutionaries the radio people deserve better than to be governed by this kind of hypocritical and corrupt officials with this designation we are sending a clear signal a clear message to iran's leaders. including his band of thugs that the united states is bringing all pressure to bear to stop the regimes behavior and we ask that our allies and partners around the world do this thing. now the foreign minister of iran job he'd zarif called on his government to designate the us central command as a terrorist organization saying that u.s. forces in the middle east should be designated as terrorists if this label is then going to be put on the islamic revolutionary guard corps furthermore we now have heard. that zarif is basically saying that this is a disaster this is washington taking a move that will ultimately result in further eyes isolat

it would not hesitate to protect and defend the strait this comes after the secretary of state mike pompei o confirmed washington would not extend the way visit had previously granted to eight countries. today i'm announcing that we will no longer grant any exemptions we're going to zero going to zero across the board any nation or entity interacting with iran should use its diligence and err on the side of caution the risks are simply not going to be worth the benefits if you don't abide by the stop the sanctions both the kingdom of saudi arabia and the united arab emirates have assured us they will ensure an appropriate supply for the markets and of course the united states is now a significant producer as well. i can confirm that each of the suppliers are working directly with iran's former customers to make the transition away from really in crude less disruptive while until now eight countries had been allowed to continue to buy oil from iran without the threat of sanctions from washington it was previously claimed these waivers would be a way of affording volatility in the oil market

commissioner involved in trade have written a letter to mike pompei at the u.s. secretary of state saying this if you follow through with this european courts will find ways to punish u.s. companies the e.u. will be obliged to use all means at its disposal including incorporation with other international partners to protect its interests this could trigger some defeat in cycle of claims that will impair the business climate without bringing justice to holders of claims or impacting the situation cuba in any positive way. well this relates back to legislation that came in in one thousand nine hundred six it was intended to open up cuba to international investment now the particular clause in this legislation has been suspended by every president since bill clinton signed it into being back in the mid ninety's it's called article three of the helms burton act it would be the first time a president has not waived this particular clause the current waiver runs out on the first of may so two weeks to go for this the european union though not happy at all they are the

it is an unprecedented move but both the secretary of state mike pompei o and the u.s. president are saying that this is simply one more step in trying to convince the government in iran that it needs to rejoin the community of civilized nations and that it needs to stop fomenting terrorism in a number of countries around the middle east one thing that we heard from the special representative for iran policy brian hook is that there cannot be a stable middle east as long as you have a government arm such as the r.g.c. engaged in supporting hezbollah in lebanon in trying to support bashar al assad the president of syria in that country's civil war and that it is taking sides with rebel hooty fighters in yemen prolonging that country's civil war. is to not just put pressure on the i or a g c but also to convince namely countries and businesses in europe which have continued to do business with iranian businesses many of whom are underwritten or operated by the i r g c to reconsider their actions and to step up the isolation of the government in tampon our rights our lord

terrorism financing promoting terrorism as a tool of state craft and we heard those words echoed by mike pompei o the u.s. secretary of state the united states is continuing to build its maximum pressure campaign against the iranian regime. i am announcing our intent to designate the islamic revolutionary guard corps including its good force as a foreign terrorist organization just as the nation will take effect one week from today in response to this designation by the u.s. government the iranian government has now declared the us central command in the u.s. military to be terrorists and we've also heard from job he'd zarif the foreign minister of iran and he has spoken out and said this is another move by washington that could lead to further isolation of the united states netanyahu who have lung. disease nation of the g.c. fully understand its consequences for u.s. forces in the region in fact they seek to drag the us into a quagmire on its behalf. should my bets have been to be conned into into the us disaster the troubled ministration has particularly distinguished itself by escalating int

i'm talking about go ahead philip you know i rather suspect you're talking about john bolton and mike pompei yeah there you go you know i think the issue is here yeah i think the issue is here that that they've managed to get the presidency ear in a very real way the president has a business head he doesn't know anything about diplomacy he doesn't know anything about foreign policy doesn't know anything about iran or russia and the fact is i think that these people have convinced the president using his business head that if you put enough pressure on these people backed up by the military they will inevitably back down and this is probably something that trump believes to be true i don't think that anyone other than maybe bolton really expect that there's going to be a war but they think i. am quite sure that what will happen is that the other side will back down and in the case of iran iran will break up in the civil war and this is what they would like to see ok michael is it stay with the rand here designating the revolutionary guards as a terrorist organization that is essentially a dec

sort of without her questions with regard to that what we are hearing from the secretary of state mike pompei o however in the statement is that the u.s. government is fully supportive of the venezuelan people in the quest for freedom democracy cannot be defeated so a lot of reaction coming out of the traffic ministration as they continue to monitor this very fast moving developments story thank you for the update kimberly how cuts at the white house washington. we've got other developing news to look at as well out of sudan and of course there in the sudanese professional association your research. which is one of the major forces behind the protest movement speaking to reporters in concert now we're going to have a little listen. to do with the. executive powers however. we and the council. to really examine the positions in this pic to the. council of the executive council did legislative council this kind of proposal would be rid the within and the next three hours and we would expect to have subs. speedily. because we want to try to shift the pounds into civilian. powers into civilian go
