murder but you balance that sentiment in congress with a nother factor and that is that the trepan ministration has put its cards all in for regime change in iran and you cannot pursue regime change in iran which turns especially upon economic measures unless the saudis support you because you need saudi oil to cover the shortfall of iranian oil being basically curbed by sanctions so saudi still has a leverage as long as the trumpet ministration wants to go against iran wants regime change the saudis can come back to washington and say look are you going to choose the iranians are you going to choose us well let's bring in washington d.c. right now we have joel rubin joining us president of the washington strategy group deputy assistant secretary of state we're discussing the options that the white house has when it comes to saudi arabia one of the options that you think that they have when it comes to the crown prince when it comes to saudi arabia over the crucial. well i think you for having me and there are a variety of options that the white house has hit its disposal they could first and f

highlighting in some of her earliest speeches what the trumpet ministration sees as the united nations and that body is sort of corruption that needs to be reined in the moral failures perhaps of the body and also she has been very tough when it comes to iran certainly she laid the groundwork for the president's ultimate withdrawal from the twenty fifteen nuclear agreement that limited iran's nuclear program in fact we remember famously that press conference where she fronted it in washington d.c. with what she said was evidence of iran's ties to missiles that had been recovered according to the u.s. ambassador so certainly this is something that she has done throughout her tenure she has been very vocal echoing the president's policy sometimes being even tougher when it comes to russia for example pointing out that she has been the face of the attacks when it comes to this administration with regard to ukraine syria yemen so it doesn't seem to be that difference of opinion it seems to be for other reasons we still have yet to learn. and thanks very much we'll just pause that conversat

absolutely can i believe that ministration is going to face continual calls for why it's pursuing a saudi centric foreign policy in the middle east in particular when we have longstanding allies such as cutters such as kuwait. such as oman in their in the region the emirates these countries all have had strong relationships with the united states and it's to our strategic advantage to engage all of them and not rely on one in the lead in our foreign policy but that it's going to take real work and the president did try to lean in to resolve the gulf crisis last year it seems to have some dissipation but it's not resolved in any clear way and so that has to be a priority for this administration if it wants to get its foreign policy straight going forward we are out of time and thanks to all our guests because andrew finkel and joel rubin and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter h

very very ambitious given the rates of churn of people at the highest level within the trumpet ministration she may be heading for the state department and maybe perhaps to a speculation james of course maybe mr pump a low is moving on to a different brief. well i suppose that is a possibility although missed the problem is seem to have done much better job than his predecessor rex tillerson it may it may be she's moving on to another job and it's certainly a joint announcement with the president suggests that supports ability on the other hand maybe they don't want this to be politically damaging and if she is just stepping back they want to show. that she's still on good terms with the president because don't forget those in the band but. they do know one thing could be damaging to to the republican policy well so i think maybe maybe tell me peter although obviously critical career in some ways with put on hold by being the ambassador to the united nations she certainly never dropped links to her home state of south carolina and i can tell you recently she actually suggested when she was

are more injured and ridiculous china's slimes a trumpet ministrations allegations of meddling in the us elections. are alive from i'm martine down is also coming up. survivors in indonesia face life changing injuries after last week's earthquake and tsunami. the campaigning ends in brazil ahead of sunday's presidential poll five contenders but it says two candidate brains. thus we meet the italian scientists who were hoping to find a way to explain the mystery of invisible objects in the universe. ministration has accused china of trying to undermine american democracy by meddling in the us elections vice president mike pence said beijing wants a different american president because of washington's tough trade policies china's foreign ministry has responded saying the allegations are rejected outright and says the vice president pence has committed. his white house correspondent kimberly halkett. in the very early days of the transit ministration the us president rolled out the red carpet to host chinese president xi at his mar-a lago resort. more than eighteen months later that warm

con welcome to all the parts in general and the trumpet ministration in particular i'm never shy of extolling that i cannot make achievements and that's without merit the american economy of late has indeed been looking great but there is an increasing number of economists who claim that these boom may be short wave and the setting the stage and not the global crisis if the full indeed comes how hard is it likely to be able to discuss that i'm now joined by rose a founder and c.e.o. at the rose and roubini associates mr rose it's good to talk to you thank you very much for your time thank you for inviting me now over the last couple of weeks we've heard a number of prominent economists warn that the global economic growth may be slowing down but i think you've been the most passive mystic of all predicting a new global crisis around two thousand and twenty doc may be similar in scale and perhaps even wars than the one we saw in two thousand and eight is that still a possibility or already a certainty no of course is probabilistic a session in the sense that it's out of time just to make sure

well barbara this is really part of the trumpet ministrations efforts to continue isolating the regime. by focusing not just on this elite paramilitary organization known as the besiege but also highlighting the fact that the besiege isn't just responsible for internally spying on iranian citizens and basically punishing them violating people's human rights by my spying on them if they have any opposition to the regime but also trying to was put pressure on the iranian government's efforts to develop a nuclear weapons program by trying to starve it of cash and that's where the sanctions come in not just against the organization itself but against at least twenty businesses that it has a lot of influence over which essentially do business with companies in other countries in order to bring in the cash the trumpet ministration says in order to build up its nuclear weapons program this is of course can be seen barbara as part of the trumpet ministrations ongoing efforts to isolate iran from the international community not just because of its supposed nuclear weapons ambitions but because

the trumpet ministration calls for a cease fire in yemen and for the warring sides to meet for talks within thirty days. when you're watching all this there along my headquarters here in doha also coming up the united nations says international experts should be part of the investigation into the murder of saudi journalist. also will take a closer look at the saudi government's multimillion dollar lobbying in the u.s. and how it choice to buy influence. is in pittsburgh to remove the victims of a synagogue shooting some of them say president trump is not welcome in that city. welcome to the program time to replace combat with compromise that's the message from the u.s. defense secretary for all parties involved in the ongoing war in yemen james mattis announced talks between the saudi coalition and who the rebels in sweden in november it's a statement echoed by other senior members of the trumpet ministration who are ramping up the pressure to force an end to the war in yemen as there was was in jordan has more. since yemen cratered into civil war in two thousand and fourteen the dam

there's no question that it is a diplomatic minefield for the trumpet ministration we know that jared cushion or for example has very close relationship with members living in saudi arabia we do know that when donald trump went to. and selected his very first foreign trip that it was to riyadh there is a long standing relationship ever standing back to one thousand nine hundred three when the united states i was diplomatic ties with saudi arabia of fostering the relationship whether it be through through oil through arms sales and turning a blind eye often to some of the things that the united states might certain points consider unsavory particularly with respect to human rights but what is happening now is making that very hard for the united states to do that given the fact that there is such a spotlight internationally and given the fact that americans are watching this story very closely we've had editorials taking up full pages of the national newspapers such as usa today we have ongoing protests here in the united states that will be taking place not just in washington but in n

this is the deadly news live from berlin another shock resignation from the trumpet ministration this time it's his ambassador to the u.s. he haley she met with president trump at the white house to confirm her departure and will leave at the end of the year also on the program saudi arabia says it will allow turkish authorities to search its consulate in istanbul a week after the disappearance of a disease into journalist this c.c.t.v. image taken outside the building is thought to be the last public sighting jamal khashoggi. i'm still go welcome to the program the trumpet ministration has been hit by a resignation this time u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley she appeared alongside president trump at the white house to confirm the move but gave away a little about her reasoning was haley is one of only a few original trump appointees left in his team and will step down at the end of the year. the u.s. ambassador's resignation took many by surprise. nikki haley and u.s. president donald trump haven't always seen eye to eye but addressing the prince after the announcemen

in the very early days of the trumpet ministration the us president rolled out the red carpet to host chinese president xi at his mar-a lago resort. more than eighteen months later that warmth has been replaced by a trade war between beijing and washington and a strong warning by the u.s. vice president mike pence our message to china's rulers is this this president will not back down. in a fiery speech pence escalated u.s. rhetoric. broadly blaming china for everything from military aggression in the south china sea to intellectual property theft to advance its global interests chinese security agencies have masterminded the wholesale theft of american technology including cutting edge military blueprints and using their stolen technology the chinese communist party is turning plow shares into swords on a massive scale u.s. media is reporting that includes inserting microchips into servers used by apple and amazon to spy on u.s. companies pence also accused china of religious persecution and human rights abuses cracking down on chinese christians buddhists and imprisoning more than a

boasted that the trumpet ministration had expelled over one hundred diplomats that the trumpet ministration had imposed harsh sanctions that it wrecked russia's economy and she boasted of arms sales to the ukrainian military and she said the obama administration can't even hold a candle to us on russia and this earned her lots of applause. to the latest now from syria where r.t. has obtained video from a proposed a militarized zone in libya province the last terrorist the rebel stronghold in the country the government and i say defense lines remain intact and the implementation of the new zone is said to go away turkish forces we know are currently trying to push militants back and chris is allied with a group called the national front for liberation these fighters you can see in these latest pictures or video agency spoke to one of its commanders. and i want to know what is the individual with regard to demilitarize in the buffer zone and there's a difference lines remain intact no soldiers are in position but they have light on the front lines backed up by heavy weapons in the real world

first attempted ministration has accused china of trying to undermine undermine american democracy by meddling in the event as u.s. mid-term elections vice president mike pence says beijing wants a different president because of washington's tough trade policies china's foreign ministry has strongly rejected the allegations it says vice president pence has committed slander his white house correspondent kimberly halkett. in the very early days of the transit ministration the us president rolled out the red carpet to host chinese president xi at his mar-a lago resort. more than eighteen months later that warmth has been replaced by a trade war between beijing and washington and a strong warning by the u.s. vice president mike pence our message to china's rulers is this. this president will not back down. in a fiery speech pedants escalating u.s. rhetoric. broadly blaming china for everything from military aggression in the south china sea to intellectual property theft to advance its global interests chinese security agencies have masterminded the wholesale theft of american technology

probably the trumpet ministration did this as a way of intensifying its war against. china against china trade so in a way it's not very bullish for global trade at all we're going in the opposite direction and i think i think it's actually politically dangerous for the trumpet ministration actually but it's also definitely economically dangerous for consumers and producers on all over the world. about the oil aspect of this financial conflict we got sanctions from the u.s. from china sanctions on iran how this is affecting the will oil market. well you can see what's happened in the price world this year and i think i think that entirely reflects the this trade war but you see what's happening with china i mean china has a big demand for fossil fuels going forward you know over the next ten years twenty years fifty years right and china. policy makers in china have already configured the markets are preparing for a fool trade war and the u.s. is and china is seeking to become. independent and in terms of its fuel needs from the u.s. going forward this is a presumptio

donald trump and that do you think that any of it will be putting any pressure on the trumpet ministration. well yes there is certainly a perception shared by many americans as well as many people around the world that the trump administration is not being so genuine when it talks about its commitments to applying pressure on riyadh so that we can get to the bottom of this murder case she talked about you know these financial interests you know trump is is pretty open about how he sees a good relationship with saudi arabia serving the u.s. economics economic interests always pointing to arms sales creation of jobs in the united states so she makes a point that certainly resonates with many people who agree with her so much but the white house has said that it's weighing different options and considering what action to take are they also taking their time doing so because they do have the much more important to them anyway issue all of the mid-term elections coming up in a few days. you know there's no doubt that there are these domestic variables in play also in the middle east saudi arabi

right barbara in fact this is perhaps just the latest in a number of actions that the trumpet ministration has been taking to try to isolate iran internationally of course in early november the u.s. is expected to impose a second round of more destructive sanctions against the government in teheran because of what the u.s. says is not just iran's desire to build nuclear weapons but to also try to stop iran from exercising its political will in neighboring countries across the middle east as well as around the world and so this latest round of sanctions targeting the domestic paramilitary group known as the bus each as well as about twenty or so businesses that provide revenue for the besieged to do its work it's just part of the trumpet ministrations efforts to convince the international community that isolating iran is the right thing to do when it comes to national security now of course it's not just going after an organization that the trumpet straight and alleges is violating human rights inside iran the u.s. is also alleging that this organization recruits young people as young as ag

i think it's fair to say that not just from the trumpet ministration but from congressional members there is growing concern in washington about the whereabouts of this saudi journalist given the fact that the president has said that he is raising the issue with the saudi authorities and we got a similar statement from the u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe saying that they are concerned the trumpet mystery and that is about the disappearance that they have been speaking to diplomatic through diplomatic channels and as well there is a pressing by the united states for what it is calling a thorough and transparent investigation and for the results of that investigation to be made public the vice president mike pence saying that the free world deserves answers and some of the strongest statements coming from congressional members including the ranking republican on the senate foreign relations committee senator bob corker saying that he has also raised this issue with the saudi ambassador and the united states will respond accordingly very much calibrating the response based on the findi

boasted that the trumpet ministration had expelled over one hundred diplomats that the trumpet ministration had imposed harsh sanctions that it wrecked russia's economy. the mayor of the italian city of lodhi has ordered all migrant families to provide documents on their financial status including property they own in their home countries failure to comply could result in the loss of social benefits. in. the states we're in the same room but we have to say in the back corner. if there are people who have money houses or land in their home countries why should we give them services for free while italians before everything enough the gravy train is finished this is not racism it's justice and good sense. once you go to sleep i don't have answers for my son what should i say we as foreigners have to produce these documents. one of my classmates said she wants to send which with us. you are. going to build the very best simply misunderstood it should be forbidden to impede integration of kids with others it's a pity very town children who've lost the opportunity to interact with other cultures

you may be aware the trumpet ministration posed some sanctions on iran back in may of this year that after the trumpet ministration decided that it was going to withdraw from the nuclear core that had been made with the previous administration the obama administration with iran and with several other countries in the international community a few years earlier now that withdrawal by the usa was condemned by many other countries including russia france the u.k. germany and china who all donald trump not to pull out of that a rainy and nuclear court well that judgment has come today and we have had some reaction. eddie from toronto the foreign ministry welcoming that judgment saying that it's proved that the islamic republic of iran is right and the us sanctions against its people and its citizens of cruel and illegal it's worth noting that this judgment by the i.c.j. cannot be appealed it is a binding judgement however it may be difficult to enforce at the moment we're waiting for reaction from washington from the white house to that judgment by the i.c.j. but it is worth noting that

absolutely can and i believe that ministration is going to face continual calls for why it's pursuing a saudi centric foreign policy in the middle east in particular when we have longstanding allies such as cutters such as kuwait. such as oman in their in the region the emirates these countries all have had strong relationships with the united states and it's to our strategic advantage to engage all of them and not rely on one in the lead in our foreign policy but that it's going to take real work and the president did try to lean in to resolve the gulf crisis last year it seems to have some dissipation but it's not resolved in any clear way and so that has to be a priority for this administration if it wants to get its foreign policy straight going forward we are out of time and thanks to all our guests because andrew finkel and joel rubin and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website which is there dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the co

yes indeed and of course one would think that the ortega ministration in particular would understand where this ends given that this is the leadership that overthrew the samosa dynasty and the guy glenn one nine hundred seventy nine but i think that as long as the order to get ministration enjoys the support of the armed forces. that he may be there to stay which i have to see what happens certainly in the coming months the moment to christina waiting in chestertown but so much for joining us from maryland. they use top negotiator on breaks it says disagreement over the irish border remains a key obstacle to a deal despite intensified discussions with officials earlier by students from twenty seven european union member states was summoned to a meeting in brussels to discuss the you can stop part of from the blog the second call to gather reports about a deal between the e.u. and the united kingdom parker has more from london. after a flurry of activity in brussels over the course of sunday hopes were breaks it deal remains some way off yet there had been some reports that serve the

to exert its influence across the middle east so the timing isn't exactly suspect the trumpet ministration has been for the past several months really trying to highlight what it says are. bad behavior around the region and perhaps into other parts of the world these sanctions are simply the latest step in the ministrations efforts to isolate iran joining with news of new sanctions against iran thank you. a mode of silence has been held on the first anniversary of a massive bomb blast which killed a journalist investigating corruption in malta the ceremony at the european commission in brussels rolls or members other journalists killed or intimidated at work media freedom group the maltese government to open an independent investigation into the unsolved murder of daphne. barca reports now from the capitol hill. duffy khurana go the see is death shocked a nation to many she was a fearless anti corruption crusader but she was also accused of scathing even defamatory journalism and of being politically partisan on one of the read blogs a year after she was killed in a car bombing the reasons

treaty according to both the obama administration and the trumpet ministration for a number of years but that doesn't mean that the treaty is not relevant anymore this treaty as you mentioned the beginning three decades old it took away thousands of of nuclear warheads from europe the european support it creates guardrails in the mechanism for us in russia no treaties are perfect implementation always has problems the danger is that when you throw away treaties and john bolton the national security advisor argued against this treaty for years. they have to be replaced with something and so right now we're on the verge of having literally just one treaty left with russia and that's the new start treaty as in regards to nuclear weapons and i think the president articulated the position that if we walk away somehow russia will come back and seek a better deal and that was the argument he made about pulling out of the transpacific pacific partnership trade deal with asia and we walked away and they haven't come back and look for us it's a very risky move what do you make of trump probabl

why does the trumpet ministration want to abandon the treaty and how will it affect relations between the united states and russia for this we turn to joel rubin he served as deputy assistant secretary of state for legislative affairs in the obama administration and he's president of the washington strategy group he joins us from washington before we get to the question of the nuclear treaty was your reaction to these explosive devices going around. thanks larry for asking about that and it's great to be with you it is very troubling and people in washington are on edge as a result of this target seem to be liberal democratic icons leaders people who the president has identified as enemies of the people in some instances and really has unsettled a lot of people here in washington about about really the real world impacts potentially political environment we're in how do these events play overseas well i think what it does is it just highlights for an international audience. the kind of dynamics that we have right now in the united states our politics are too vicious in terms of the wa

use for its nuclear weapons ambitions and so this is really just one more step of the trumpet ministration to try to isolate on the global stage terror on in as many ways as possible not just with political sanctions but also very notably with economic sanctions as well british prime minister. series i'm able address e.u. leaders at a meeting in brussels later on wednesday against haitians are stalled once again over what should happen with the irish border when northern ireland and the rest of the u.k. leave the e.u. in march may met her cabinet on tuesday to discuss the status of the talks she's confident and i'm a couple divorce deal can still be achieved but the chief negotiator said work remains to be done. we were to do. we must find a solution to include ireland and find a solution for no hard border on the island of ireland when not there yet various issues are still to produce cust including on land but i understand is that more time is needed to find this deal and reach the decisive progress that we need to finalize the negotiation on the withdrawal of the u.k. and the hayward ha

just in washington but in new york so this is certainly making it challenging for the trumpet ministration because in addition to all of that there are also members of congress who are putting this high on their radar republican members of congress the president's own political party saying that if these allegations are true this would certainly be a fundamental shift in the relationship that could have potentially economic consequences given the amount of money that is invested in this relationship that is a very strong statement now officially pulling back to the trumpet ministration it is guarding its words very carefully as we heard from the vice president there in that clip you just played the secretary of state saying that it is looking for answers in his department and that they are looking for a transparent investigation we know that the back channels of diplomacy are working feverishly but again like the rest of the world the united states has very few answers at least once they are made and publicly we've had virtually complete radio silence from mr trump himself illness over the

yeah there's definitely some pressure on the trumpet ministration but there's also some pressure on the crown prince mohammed bin solomon and that is because the reporting seems to indicate. an important deadline has passed and let me explain how that deadline has been calculated you remember that meeting the optics which were criticized very much so here in the united states and around the world of the u.s. secretary of state sitting down in riyadh with mohammed and some of the crown prince will that meeting wrapped up at about three pm riyadh time and reportedly in that meeting the u.s. secretary of state was very very clear in terms of the timeline moving forward that instructions we understand and that is being reported here in the united states is that my pompei a told the crown prince that he had seventy two hours essentially to own the disaster in other words to come up with an explanation and now that seven two hour timeline has passed if you calculate my pump is returned to the united states roughly it appears that eight am here in new york city washington d.c. eastern standard

all said it was wrong for the trumpet ministration to withdraw from that nuclear accord now the judgment today has been welcomed by turan with the foreign ministry stating that in its judgment that means that iran is right and the sanctions imposed by the u.s. on its people and its citizens are cruel and illegal is also being a reaction from the foreign minister of iran on twitter. another failure for the sanctions addicted u.s. government and a victory for the rule of law it's imperative for the international community to collectively counter malign u.s. unilateral isn't. well this decision or whilst being a binding and not able to be appealed will be particularly difficult to enforce now that's because back in the one nine hundred eighty s. the united states decided to withdraw from being compulsorily are subject to these jurisdictions in fact it will take them on a case by case basis we're still waiting at the moment to get reaction from the white house from the trumpet ministration as to what they think of this judgment and we know that at the moment they are still plans on the table

well definitely the trumpet ministration taking a much more harder stance and this is what turkey wanted from the start turkey has been worried really and concerned that the us administration will hope that this crisis would just pass because of the cross close relationship between the trumpet ministration and the de facto ruler in saudi arabia mohamad bin there's still been no official reaction from the turkish government or turkish officials but what is clear is that the visit of the cia director to turkey played a role what we understand is that she was presented with the evidence she was able to assess the evidence that has been gathered by turkish intelligence and security services over the past three weeks she is going to present that evidence to to try later today or or tomorrow but clearly that evidence played a role in changing the trumpet ministrations position turkey from the very start has insisted that it has evidence that she was killed inside that consulate and it was a preplanned murder and it also linked mohamed bin salmen to the murder with the leaks that have been give

it's still front page news all over america the trumpet ministration you know kellyanne conway is not being asked on fox news to talk about how good the economy is doing she's not being honest on that talk about you know how many jobs we're creating with the wall street likes us or not instead of which you get certain cable networks leading on a still by and large relatively obscure or journalist who was murdered a long way away from main street america is that's a problem for donald trump. well what's really interesting is when american press talk about this journalist it's a u.s. journalist and they forget that this is also you know this was also a person who was an actor you know and many ways and activists a dissident a journalist and saudi arabia and so there's a lot of confusion in the rhetoric among journalism about what type of american president this person was but in terms of politics or the midterm you know a lot of these come as distractions we're not talking about as you said the jobs and economy but we're also not talking about health care we're also not talking about im

ministrations and were not going to have manufacturing jobs anymore.

the trumpet ministration has been criticized for not keeping the saudi led coalition from bombing yemen civilians it has blamed rebels who knows for using civilians as human shields matt has told a washington audience he doesn't want to see the saudis how to target who confided more effectively we've got to replace combat with compromised and we are working as we speak with mr martin griffin is the u.n. special envoy i've met with him my shellshock a pompei i was talking to him frequently as we try to amass the international support we just met. in the nama in the nama dialogues and this was brought up forcefully not just by myself but by others as well that it's time to stop this madness is call for peace talks was backed up later on tuesday by the secretary of state mike home pedo he said both the who these and the saudis must stop their attacks and start peace talks under u.n. auspices in november. the u.s. says it wants to save lives in yemen a point which the french defense minister floors probably underscored earlier on tuesday to increase many there to humanitarian crisis like we

the coming of the trumpet ministration is a saudi american relations have become almost a function of a personal relationship between the president's son in law and coercion or and crown prince mohammed bin send money and i think what we may be seeing now at least here in the united states is an attempt by the professionals to reclaim a role in that relationship now this is complicated because in the meantime mohammed bin seven has managed to establish absolute and bra. old power and to you as a man is to weaken. and the alternative power centers whether other branches of the family or or of the security forces and so on and so i think this is going to go on . for some time and even if you know there is basically i would say muhammad than some future is now in the hands of the trump administrator and ok that i think the america that is holding point let me let me take that thought back to joe joe so if we're seeing the white house donald trump put something of a question mark over mohammed bin sandman what does that mean for the crown prince it seems that if more and more people in am

becoming a big liability for the trumpet ministration especially with more in the media attention to the special relationship between questioner and. are in the crown prince of saudi arabia mohamed bin so man but to get to your question you know we're seeing some rhetoric from the white house that might seem odd from the standpoint of those who want the kingdom to be held accountable but i don't think there is going to be a real push from this in ministration on saudi arabia to change its positions on issues concerning human rights i think more pressure will probably come from u.s. lawmakers but how is this going to pan out on the ground in saudi arabia how is it going to change the way in which the kingdom is being ruled today i'm pretty skeptical about any major changes coming as a result of this very ugly case. glad you mentioned the congress though will pick up on that point in a second but let me take this thought back to sin and briefly remind us what's at stake in terms of standards of governance in this region as a whole depending on how internationalized this affair in terms

we get a clash of interest and values will happen and then it will we will see how the trumpet ministration will respond abraham thank you very much thank you. plenty more still to come here on the news for you including a rendezvous in armenia french speakers of the world unite to celebrate francophone culture. so ahead animals under threat global leaders look for new ways to eradicate the illegal wildlife trade. and lebron james links up with one hometown favorites for the very first time will tell you how they got on in the sports news in about thirty minutes. an american astronauts and a russian cosmonaut on board a rocket bound for the international space station have been forced to make an emergency landing after an incident on board moments after take off. to the international space station here just a few seconds after what you're looking at they had to perform what's called a ballistic descent after having encountered issues with the separation of the booster rockets around ninety seconds after takeoff the two crew members are alive and they are now out of the capsule chalons joins
