daniela, the question is about the usefulness or not of the united nations security council.course, the international courty of justice. germany has come under a lot of pressure, a lot of criticism because of its attitude towards russia, which the question is pointing towards. and in particular, cooperation with russia over the transport of natural gas. does germany, do you think, have a different attitude towards russia, compared to many other members of the g7? on the more fundamentall question raised on the rule of law, the integrity of territory, i see no difference. the way the german government has always framed the projects . of the gas pipeline from russia was it is a project run- by companies, so a private sector project. that is of course i only half the truth. because any energy project at that time with such - importance is of course . a hugely political project. you can see the government has come under— understanding this when it started putting a lot of- political energy into _ negotiating gas through ukraine to slightly compensate outside of ukraine. - i perso

bob, is the united nations security council which i know canada rather looks at with great respect, is ofjustice outdated? should the g7 become more muscular? i don't think there is any contradiction in saying that the un is a far from perfect institution and the g7 can do more. i think the g7 can do more and i think impact that is happens. when the security council get stuck because of the veto power of what we call the p5, the permanent members of the security council, we have to find other ways of being more creative and we have seen this. the emergence of what is called the magnitsky sanctions in a number of countries, which has made a difference in terms of our ability to implement sanctions and make them more targeted and more effective. the fact we have been able to create new accountability mechanisms in dealing with the situation in syria and in dealing with the situation in _ myanmar, even though, you know, we don't have the institutional strength to actually enforce things more quickly, we face this dilemma since 1945. the structures we created are not perfect, but i think t

this is a top priority and all of us in the cabinet and national security council are focused on it and considering all possible consequences. this week whenhe president meets with putin and other world leaders, this will be at the talk of with the agenda. -- top of the agenda. amy: one reason attack exposed hospital patient information. in another attack i'm hackers released a trove of internal documents from the washington, d.c., police department. thousands of websites and smartphone apps went dark around the world for about an hour this morning after a major network failure.

of next, the national security council determines foreign and national security council's. that body is presided over by the president of the country. however, while the decisions must ultimately become armed by ayatollah -- must be confirmed by ayatollah khamenei. there are, of course, as always exceptions to this. the supreme leader has the final say. you may be wondering why i only use the pronoun he when speaking about the iranian president. the reason for that is because since the establishment of the islamic republic in 1979, no woman has ever qualified to run for president. >> next, drug manufacturer astrazeneca has issued a statement this friday to make it clear it is looking forward to a renewed collaboration with the european commission to help fight the continent's coronavirus outbreak. the statement came after a court in brussels agreed with the eu the country -- the company preached the terms of its contract -- the company breached the terms of its contract. with more from brussels, here is our correspondent. >> you could say astrazeneca has won the battle but

national security -- >> so you were consulted by state. you talked about that already. what about national security council? >> we talked to a number of members of the national security council. as i said early on in january and early february, i meet with them frequently. it was before the task force, the vice president came in. there were many people looking at trying to get at this information. i think the -- the error that was made, as i mentioned earlier is not doubling down on demanding -- getting the president demand that the cdc get into help evaluate this pandemic in january 2020. i think if we had, we would have been able to make a lot of corrections in our thinking that would have impacted the american public. >> martha: that's something. dr. marc siegel joined me now along with david asher that led the investigation that dr. redfield discusses in this interview in the origins of the virus. dr. siegel, it's a remarkable interview. we're glad you have the opportunity to do it. i whatn't to let everybody know that there's more coming in the show and you'll see the biggest part of it that you have se

nations to enter vietnam. yes ambassador goldberg urged the security council to consider calling a seeking of peace on the basisnations had no more power than any other instrument to get involved in those peace talks. the problem according to secretary general -- was that hanoi's feeling was that they would dilute the power of 1964 geneva agreement. and peaking rejected any -- because of its nationalist china ties. in 1966, president johnson accompanied by members of his cabinet met the government leaders of south vietnam to overcome dual purposes. echoing a spirit of the john hopkins speech in which he had proposed to bring up a developments program in all of southeast asia. johnson urged the situation in vietnam to be dealt eight in political terms. beyond immediate political aspect. he called for a battle against social injustice, hunger, disease, and ignorance. with -- renewed efforts -- as part of the most extensive tour of east asia and the pacific. they met in manila in october 66. the warren vietnam should have immediately brought them together. but the larger issue was the development of the pacific. o

do you see a role for an organisation like the g7 to beef up if the united nations security council ishe other day build on work that the foreign affairs committee has done since 2018, when we released our moscow gold report. preventing the spread of dirty money there are systems and holding it until we can release it back to the people from who it was robbed is exactly what was should be doing. let's not pretend the government in russia today and president putin is anything other than a criminal gang that does not represent the people and merely exploits them. it is and merely exploits them. it is a brutal moneymaking regime for one man and his acolytes.- one man and his acolytes. tom, thank you _ one man and his acolytes. tom, thank you very _ one man and his acolytes. tom, thank you very much. _ thank you very much. christopher hill, after the g7 comes nato for president biden, and after nato comes their first meeting of president biden and vladimir putin. what will you look for in that meeting?— will you look for in that meetinu? , ., ., meeting? first of all, i hope that we will _

one of the most important diplomatic show down between the usa and russia in the united nations security council on july 10. so if russia veto is the resolution, that means the last remaining aid distribution point of the united nations in it live also is going to be close. and of course turkey is very much concerned because it says that these will lead or 3 good. another wave off the refugees from a live over turkey, which 1800000 syrians there in that region depends heavily depends on the definition age there. so in this sense, turkey is trying to convince russia, but russia beloved to they said that if the, the national community does not meet us, the russian concerns, they are going to be to the resolution in the united nations security council, which is highly going to dramatically affect the already the registration in the lip and even cool lead another humanitarian crisis. but law will say that, you know, the, the root causes of humanity crisis in syria are not the, not the, the distribution in libya, but mostly just because the international community or the international powers are sanc

area of response ability is overseeing federal civilian agencies but we work every day with national security council, staff, the deputy national security adviser's team, dhs, the team, a critical role in cybersecurity as well but also have that focus. i also maintain very close working partnerships with agency, stephen hernandez speaking at this conference later today and a series of working groups under that for him where we talk about these hard issues together. i participate in cio council meetings to make sure keeping the pulse on the broader it priorities, challenges and these are different sides of the same coin, and the intelligence community, law enforcement as well particularly my role as chair of the federal security council. looking forward to working with the newly created office of the national cyber director. it has been a tough few months for federal government, issuing multiple emergency directives and the in cd will have some fantastic capacity, strategic lens with an immediate impact. a lot of players here have got their role and our job is to coordinate well. >> sounds exciting. i

say they have the right to make folks in the ukraine and the crimea area -- i believe the national security council ended up putting a proposal we had on hold after russia announced troops stationed in ukraine and that led up to the president's -- when he was meeting with mr. putin at the summit. it seemed as though russia decided -- we are watching their behavior. we are going to stick with our allies. sovereignty of the ukrainian country, we are focused on it with our european allies in that regard. as it pertains to the summit, i think the president is moving forward. he wants to make sure we set the agenda with mr. putin. my committee may look into it because we are still deciding. the president has made it clear he is looking forward, he is not looking back, and trying to make sure we meet again and unite our allies against russia or anyone else and we will be able to deal with them in a collective way. host: let's hear from ralph on the democrats line from augusta, georgia. good morning. caller: my concern is both foreign and domestic. you are talking about ukraine and sending troops into bat

. >> there's also talk that something happened to someone from the national security council near thery. do you really think that a russian weapon could have been deployed that close to home? >> look, i think what has come out over the last several weeks and months is there's private sector companies who are experimenting with directed energy weapons. one i know well, it's being considered and produced by the u.s. military in anti-drone technology. the russians had this for decades. it's not the question of being implausible or technology not being there, it's just willingness of an adversary to use it. i think that's something we should take very seriously. there was a lot of press, a lot of concern about the two national security council staffers being hit. i would just say the modus operandi, symptoms, everything i know about those attacks, we should take this seriously. they're hurting. they deserve medical care and certainly deserve our government pursuing the ends of the earth who did this. >> we have 30 seconds left. what should president biden say to vladimir putin when they m

fiona hill was the national security council's senior director for european and russian affairs during: dr. hill, i want to start with the u.s. is preparing new sanctions against russia over the poisoning of alexei navalny. what do you make of that? >> navalny was poisoned with the same substance that was used in a different form against sergei and his daughter back in 2018, which some people might recall. and on that same occasion, it also triggered a similar set of sanctions and other responses. the russians then took to actually destroy all of the stockpiles, but as discovered, they kept a lot of the novel agents. probably betting on the fact that they were so secret that nobody would ever actually get to the bottom of the use of the substance, but they were called out when they used the same thing against sergei in salisbury. >> dickerson: is this something that president biden would have brought up in the meeting with putin, or is it outside of their exchange of carrots and sticks? >> i don't think it is outside of the exchange. president biden, by his own account, did raise up na

i had the chance yesterday to speak with the head of iran's national supreme security council -- supreme national security council, and he told me as far as, for instance, the efforts to try to get the iran nuclear deal back on track, the nuclear agreement back on track, that is going to remain because that is something that the supreme leader has said he wants to happen. so even with a new administration, iran is still looking to get back into full compliance with the deal and of course looking to get the u.s. back into that deal, michael. >> fred, you've been to iran many times. i mean you mentioned there the moderate voters didn't turn out, perhaps because they saw the writing on the wall in terms of how restricted the field was. how would you describe enthusiasm or otherwise among iranians for this election, especially given, you know, the result was pretty predetermined in many ways? >> reporter: well, you know, i was here in 2017 when we had the election then and there seemed to be a lot more enthusiasm at the polling stations than this time. but i think one of the things -- or som

under nuclear issue are decided by the aforementioned centers of power, plus the supreme national security councilhere's not much change to be expected with the presidency in iran. and the call is going to be -- the shot is going to be called still by the supreme leader. and the irgc top commanders. dareen: right. >> and let me say a last word, there's a tendency which is like simplified to externalize problems. that u.s. crippling sections -- sanctions have had a dramatic effect on the iranian population, there's no doubt about that. but when it comes to violence, and other problems and shortcomings, i would appreciate some comments from them, which are critical, of the domestic situation. dareen: i'm afraid we have to leave it there. they get so much to my guests, -- thank you so much to my guests, mohammad marandi, ali fathollah nejad, and mostafa khoshchesm, thanks for joining us. thank you for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website, aljazeera.com. for further discussion, you can go to our facebook page, that's facebook.com/ajinsidestory. you can also join the

been concluded in vienna, that is now here, and this committee is made up of the supreme national security council, the parliament and the government. so there are 3 different branches who are going to look at this draft that's been written in vienna. and the iranians will have to decide now whether or not they're going to sign it. there is an understanding that their negotiations will not continue. there is a time now, a set for the ratings to respond. of course the question inside the country is, would this be a win for the outgoing government of have sandra honey or would this be a win for the incoming government of apprehend, right. you see, but it's clear that the european party is remaining and then you clear deal and the united states are very adamant they want to secure this deal before they ronnie government leaves office. we also know that the foreign minister mohammed about sir eve has visited the president elect this morning in his offices in the judiciary. so there is some movement happening there and we're just waiting to find out what the readings will decide in the i mean days the

and cnn said the new attack occurred after the 2020 election as a national security council official was attempting to pass through an unfair gate near the ellipse, according to a stores with direct knowledge of the incident that person suffered only mild symptoms after the encounter, including headache and sleeplessness, all of which went away after a week. oh my god, i haven't heard of anything. it pageants. i have some ice cream to best. have we have, we looked into that as a possible cause. maybe the cubans are forcing us diplomat heat ice cream. talk to someone who has been and jerry before they play the country. all right, there are, they're up to something they put marshmallows and i come on. come on. they're up to something. and sleeplessness, sleeplessness, i didn't, i had no idea the fear that was breaking news about people who had trouble sleeping . i didn't, i think i had that is there is there. is there a hotline we call or what do we, how do we dial? we'll bleachers page. i assume we fill the pager. well, well, well, get back to the studio. i've gotten better, can be in

there's the united nations security council where a retail can stop anything back in the united states. no space is the international community. it goes and does what it wants everywhere. as for forest johnson, sending an aircraft gallery and to china. patrick, it's to show loyalty. it's to show we are, we will be with you. always. i mean, blair was even worse than johnson and sucking up to the americans and they are very nervous now having left the that the keep are in europe as far as the u. u. s. is concerned, is not the truth be told it's germans. it's been that behind the scenes for some time smell sort of even open, that is the country with which the u. s. is really interested in maintaining a very close relationship and they take for granted. germany, of course, has over this russian nordstrom to deal at the moment. yeah, you see the problem with the german government has been there for some time as long as us troops stationed in that concrete and think about the war ended in 1945, the west port in well known nazis and crashes and key positions in the army and intelligence servi

and live there is just a designated organization on the list of the groups by the united nations security council. we are opposed to such a thing and we have told all these countries directly or indirectly, that syria will know when to get an assistance to go to the people who need. he want to do it and assistance, but not to the people who are described as tutors. if the wisdom countries are really careful about syrian citizens, they should lift their sanctions because these sanctions and what we call unilateral, of course of measures adopted by wisdom countries and by the united states are killing the sudan people. they are not allowing us even to import medical instruments, not to mention foods and other necessary materials for the protection of the laws of the lives of innocent syrians. the only solution is to withdraw turkish troops from lit and to combat tutors to groups and to allow the city and also that is to control to provide the people there with the provisions they deserve, with food, with other materials to make their life more humane. so i think what the united states is campaignin

he was directed for european affairs or the national security council during the clinton administration, and mr. corruption is good to have you on the program, biden and pose. and they are going to meet. do you expect any concrete outcome or, or anything other than you know, a photo for the world to see? you know, this is more than a photo op. i don't think that by new or prudent would be going to geneva to sit down if they didn't have at least some expectation of trying to late, but make the relationship between the 2 less toxic. do i expect to see breakthroughs on cyber on human rights on ukraine? no. is there a common agenda that perhaps they could work together? pandemic, the arctic nuclear nonproliferation. might they be able take to at least have a conversation about strategic stability and next steps and arms control? yes. so i the see, this is a way of saying, hey, we look into the brink. our relationship was on a slippery slope downward. let's see if we can do better and maybe just baby down the road. this meeting will prove to begin to put the relationship on a more even keel.

and it was endorsed by clear language of the united nations security council. and it's the expectation of the libyan people. so i think it will be complicated, it's not going to be, you know, soft was one conference, but we need to sequence the approach step by step. all the parties need to know that the other party is not taking advantage of a withdrawal of troops. there are also russian troops in the country. do you think that's a threat for the nato alliance? i think it's a point of concern that there are foreign troops and libya. so i don't want to pinpoint to just one party because it has always been our approach to address the presence of mercenary from both sides. but of course, nato countries are concerned about development and instability in general. but you know, what it's encouraging to see for me is in spite of the many arms that are still in libya and in spite of the fact that the arms and bible is getting violated almost on a daily basis to cease fire holds. so i believe that we can make a strong point also towards russia and turkey. that's a bene

over there several times a week and that includes participating in inter- agency meetings, national security council matters are policy matters, immigration trade or like in which the department of justice legal fields are important to the discussions going on and this was consistent with norms of independence when we talk about this because it isn't about independence from a particular enforcement matter, it's about determining legal views of the executive branch one has to do that job on a principal basis with reason and the like but had no different than working the white house on those matters than anywhere else in the department of justice or executive branch. >> thank you. how the department operates in its role, bobby we can go to you to talk about white house counsel's job which is a demanding position on how you viewed the d.o.j. in relation to the work were doing at the white house. >> white house counsel is a critical contact setting the standards for the rest of the white house and enforcement in the relationship between the department of justice, academic, policy for example that govern

at the white house, i want a seat at the national security council next to the president and making surehat we bring the resources of every single department. food is more than the usda, even, is the obvious one, but food is also the department of housing. we can end food deserts in every housing project that the u.s. housing department have. it is transportation, because food also needs to have good mechanisms to bring food to the poor, rural areas all across america. food is also homeland security. food is immigration reform. food is so many things at once, that's why we need to take food, once and for all, seriously. david: you campaigned for joe biden, president biden. would you be interested in this job, or you still have your restaurants and world central kitchen so you are not going to do something like that in the white house yourself? jose: if there was nobody else, maybe i could be a good leader on that front only because i'm a hard worker, i'm creative enough, and i know how to bring people together. but me, quite frankly, i'm a guy that likes to be with boots on the ground. i

government in myanmar could refer these abuses to the international criminal court, the united nations security councilbers of the council have to agree, and until now, both china and russia have vetoed any tougher action against the myanmar military. the criminal case could also be filed at a court in a country which recognises so—called universal jurisdiction. that has happened in germany and in spain, but for that to happen, the defendants would have to happen, the defendants would have to be in those countries. unlikely in this case. the prospect of justice for those who are victims of the military�*s violence in myanmar are still very distant. visitors may be returning to some of the uk's most popular tourist destinations, but employers are reporting problems recruiting staff. in cumbria, tourism bosses are warning the situation is reaching crisis point, and say the sector has been badly hit by new post—brexit immigration rules. yunus mulla reports. the lake district is looking busy. the visitors have returned in large numbers, but fewer people are choosing to work here. emma's deli in grasmere is

united nations security council has officially backed antonio terrorist for a 2nd 5 year term as sector general. it's a decision that was widely expected. but as christine salumi reports in the un, it's not been greeted with the same universal approval was his 1st limitation. in 2016 it took the un security council less than 10 minutes. tied who should lead the world's most powerful international organization for the next 5 years? it's choice for the next secretary general and mr. on tony cook durish, be appointed, is the current secretary general. antonio, who terraces 1st appointment in 2016, was announced with a rare public showing of unity from council members. this time may have lacked the fanfare, but the council president had high praise for the incumbent mischief. we have all seen actually the secretary general inaction. i think he has been an excellent secretary general. he's a bridge builder. nevertheless, coo terrace will style of quiet diplomacy has been a different appointment for human rights organization. he's been to reluctant to criticize the powerful governments who ha

going to be on syria, particularly the northwest and city of it live ahead of the united nations security council on july 10. that's going to be about the did the cross border a, the resolution of russia say that it might, it might retort the resolution. if russia it was the resolution than the last remaining. a delivery point of the united nation is going to be close and turkey says this might increase or 3 good. and ne waiver refugees tor turkey because 2000000 syrians depends on the u. n. a delivery point there. they are going to discuss the ways how to increase the trade level william also between 2 countries and also the russian racks in split the 5 to be produced in turkey. all of these issues are going to be at the table today that 2 ministers are going to discuss. hundreds of thousands of children and their families have been forced to leave their homes in the conflict and northern mozambique. it's also meant another 2000 people have been separated from their relatives and that's taking a toll on their mental health. as leo harding now, reports 9 year old. milton doesn't know if he's an o

the united nations security council is officially bang titania terrors for a 2nd term and secretary general intelligence it took over the role from bank. he moved back in january 2017, after a hotly contested race. in october 2016, the security council's recommendation hopes to encourage the 193 member general assembly to formally reappoint him for another 5 years from january next year. ah. so this is out there, these are the top stories and the you and court is up held the conviction of rudco melodic for genocide and crimes against humanity. the bosnian serb military commanded lead forces responsible for the massacre of bose new muslims in our faces . life in prison, kind of as prime minister just intruder says the murder of a muslim family in ontario was a terrorist attack, motivated by the vigil is being held for the, for pedestrians run over and killed. one driver will continue to fight, hate online and offline, which includes taking even more action to dismantle far right. hate groups like we did with the proud boys by adding them to candidates terror listing. and we'll continue doing

and it's cited binding to believe by the supreme national security council. so i would say that we . busy should not expect major change in economy, for example, want to revive the way it was to go back to the jacob, right. it doesn't really matter who the president in it might be more difficult, perhaps to negotiate with the universe shaken to come the consistent dollar more. but if we will see a decision to return to the way i think, right and feel we'll, we'll stick with that. we will be more or less the same, the same policy. busy in the year a year, of course our intent of eve. how closely will israel be viewing these elections in iran? well, we certainly follow that. i should be wrong, but i would say that really didn't really see any difference between even between on the end, right. see not just because the. busy decision, what intuitive issues we can save israel, which is mostly the new their issue and the regional policy and iraq corporate. uh huh. and jake got up, aren't cited by, by this, by this. and also by the recognition regard. but because i

the president is also the head of the uranium national security council, which makes the countries more important decisions on. nevertheless, we have to remember that whoever becomes president is going to inherit some very complicated issues, such as the current negotiations on the nuclear deal. iranian economy suffering from very high inflation. ah, as well as people, as you mentioned disengaging from the election, especially if the turn out for the election is though, then that is also going to be a problem for the next present. interesting. and finally, just for international audience, can you give us a sense of the wider context hair in terms of how free are these elections given the candidates have to be vetted by? i believe it's the guardian council who, whose job is, are, are specifically chosen by the supreme leader. us also in the past 24 years actually union elections have been very heated. and i would say, relatively free. i mean, the candidates were very different from each other, whether it was tammy and not have new re 24 years ago. near what's in the study and asked me th

was one of the few cases in which actually the sanctions were just justified by the united nations security council. and that was a good reason for that because at least in that case, it was say, where there was supposedly, you know, he's violating the nonproliferation treaty now. yeah. he was and, but nonetheless, that was a difference. what was the live and that's see goes with the iran. russia went along with the thanks for iran. russia went along with the sanctions against north korea visa, un security council sanctions. but what was interesting about that is that it was supposedly targeted, but in fact they weren't targeted. live ordinary people. for the very reason that you can't just simply pick and choose and say, well, you can't have and you can't import anything that leads you to build weapons of master structure. which means you guardian, for the chemicals that you need for further lies, is that you need for the saudi nation that you need. sanitation and you can't import a power generation as soon as so that's why is it individual citizen suffer? because the only thing that you'll use, s
