and russia china and norway it's a set up the world's largest marine reserve in antarctica the european plan would have protected an area five times the size of joe. i'm showgirl welcome to the program the united states says to reinstate all of the sanctions against iran that it removed the twenty fifteen nuclear deal as midterm elections approach president trump tried to drive the point home in an unconventional fashion tweeting that sanctions are coming barring the typeface and phrasing from the fancy t.v. series game of thrones which the motto winter is coming signals the need for vigilance the u.s. has been gradually re imposing sanctions since he withdrew from the nuclear agreement in may and decision that was met with international criticism here is the president talking about this latest move. they're very serious sanctions they're very big they'll be elevated from there but as you know sanctions are starting on iran and you know iran is they get a very big if the country is not the same country as when i started. almost two years ago iran is a much different country since i term

some key areas where we are interacting and the other peter already mentioned the south china sea in regard to russia we know that excuse me in regard to china we know that the nato countries and russia have disputes a lot of us. swath of territory centrally the neutral countries and the baltic states of europe going down towards the middle east those zones are what worries me the most and i do think we have gotten beyond sort of just normal professional preparation into a realm of some sometimes political brinkmanship and we've got to keep finding ways to pull back ok well daniel i mean we can use the example peter i'll use the word that michael used the instability i mean decision to unilaterally walk away from the i.n.f. treaty i mean from a european perspective do you feel safer knowing that that treaty will not be in place could have been updated could have been made global no effort was ever made whatsoever but you know the way the the defense department and donald trump himself is talking is that well you guys are a target again wow for thirty one years that tree that treaty gave us a modicum

russia and china would be very very happy because right now we're doing very well against china we're doing very well against everybody including russia and i'm going to keep it that way and i'm not going to tell a country that's spending hundreds of billions of dollars and has helped me do one thing very importantly keep oil prices down so that they're not going to one hundred nine hundred fifty dollars a barrel right now we have oil prices in great shape i'm not going to destroy the world economy and i'm not going to destroy the economy for our country by being foolish with saudi arabia while tekkie says it's not satisfied with the level of cooperation it's receiving from saudi arabia and may seek a formal united nations inquiry into the hostility killing if discussions with riyadh come to pass a foreign minister is in washington and spoke out about the journalists killing united this time and in addition notice the time i think you know we believe that nobody came to turkey without preplanning first eleven have been invested over us have been set free why have they been freed

if russia and china it keeps some of their trade going with iran if oil exports to china albeit be limited still happen then this can happen within the framework of the nuclear agreement and then iran is basically getting some of the dividends of the it minimized or reduced but there is more to the nuclear agreement than just the economic dividend there is also a political dividend or a security dividend these are things that are basically in the many talks iran held with the remaining partners of the g.c.c. that can basically be decisive to see whether then iran comes to the decision to say we we sing like you talk to you thanks for joining us are adamant about about. thinking. the polish prime minister. says his country will probably stay out of a united nations pact promoting safe and or to make migration this follows a similar statement from austria hungary and the united states by gratian was one of a number of difficult issues on the agenda at a meeting between the governments of poland and germany in warsaw today however the country's latest did their best to put on a united front.

frankly both china and russia have engaged in provocative acts in the cyber arena with regard to china -- i mean with regard to russians, most recently what russia is doing with regard to the ukraine. and if there's little or no response from the united states, doesn't our inaction or little action add to the perceived imbalance of power between the united states vis-a-vis china and russia? and how do our allies view what is happening? >> senator hirono, it's a little bit beyond the remit of the report, but i'll take a shot at it speaking personally in any event. you know, my belief is actually that both russia and china today are waging what we would have called in the 1950s political warfare against the united states and its allies. if we were having this discussion -- i mean we are very focused in washington, of course, on russian political warfare because of the interference in the election in 2016 and ongoing. if we were having this conversation in australia or new zealand, i can tell you the discussion would be about chinese efforts to use these kinds of tools to develop greater

the second fact is the are there members of permanent member of united nations security council russia china europe they are yours to defend and to support the u.n. resolution and the uranium nuclear deal as you say russia and china said they're going to ignore the united states to resume the also said u.k. companies should take advantage of business ties with iran and britain will try and protect business relations with iran what do you make of the u.n. security council response this is really far beyond the u.k. business this is an international issue or a member of united nations security council is punishing the are there members for implementation of the nuclear deal you know for the implementation of u.n. security council second definitely this is a big more meant for you or your to prove it is really independent and can be independent from us pressures its territorial sanctions not only for europe but for russia and china and third definitely this is an opportunity for you and your op to expand economic relations with iran are there are lies. chinese russia they would go ahead regardl

nuclear capabilities from russia and china. unmanned systems, which we have had a complete locke on. you are seeing these competitors really investing in areas the u.s. has ignored the last couple of decades. host: we want you to join the conversation about america's military readiness to fight two wars at the same time. if you're in the eastern or central times and, call (202) 748-8000. if you are in the mountain and pacific time zone, call (202) 748-8001. and if you are active duty military or retired military, we want to hear you on this report. you can call in at (202) 748-8002. you can always reach us on social media. we are at twitter at @cspanwj, and on facebook. what was the white house and congressional reactions to this report? guest: the white house has not really reacted much. they have been distracted with other stuff going on. been weagon's responses are aware of the concerns. we agree with some of them and disagree with some of them. the pentagon does knowing to come out and say we cannot win. there is a certain

russia and china would be very, very happy because right now we are doing very well against china. we are doing very well against everybody, including russia, and i'm going to keep it that way. and i am not going to tell a country that is spending hundreds of billions of dollars and has helped me do one thing very importantly, keep oil prices down so that they are not going to $100 and $150 a barrel. right now we have oil prices in great shape. i am not going to destroy the world economy, and i'm not going to destroy the economy for our country by being foolish with saudi arabia. so, i think the statement -- wait a minute, i think the statement was pretty obvious what i said. it is about america first. yeah. >> [inaudible] pres. trump: say it again. >> why was it appropriate for your daughter to use personal emails -- pres. trump: just so you understand, early on and for a little period of time, ivanka did some emails. they were not classified like hillary clinton. they were not deleted like hillary clinton, who deleted -- she wasn't doing anything to hide her emails. i looked at it

pressures a territorial sanctions not only for euro but for russia and china and said definitely this is an opportunity for you and your op to expand economic relations with iran are their wise i'm sure chinese russia and they would go ahead regardless of the u.s. sanctions the eastern powers they are not going to give a dime to unilateral decisions of united the state therefore if your up decides to continue decide to continue business with iran iran would be able to have a balance. economic trade relations with the east and west are there why is iran would go more and more toward the eastern bloc's just like with cuba or arguably in your latest piece you quote the french finance minister of saying the outcome of the crisis with iran will be the chance for europe to have its own independent financial institutions so we can trade with whoever we weren't so is this actually emblematic of the beginning of the end of u.s. power in the world i think this would have a great impact because it is a fact for decades the u.s. dollar has dominated international trade and financial system ninety

good thing having spent five point six trillion dollars and now the focus is on conflict with russia and china i think this is madness i'm just thinking united states' own like europe isn't failing the economic consequences of the stand of with russia because europe is hurting because of the sanctions you know america isn't that much so for american establishment for american politicians for american media it is just it's all so well to have this anti russian stance i'm just wondering maybe you know it's just going to go on forever because there's so little consequences to pay cannot make lee well let me put it a different way the election we just had showed the disconnect between the media political establishment and ordinary people russia gate the scandal alleging that putin put trump in the white house was not an issue in the election it didn't figure the issues were issues like health care like pensions which i think is a big issue in russia too but what we call bread and butter issues in fact a recent poll a gallup poll showed fifty seven percent of americans want to more cooperative rela

president mandela made a call for a new or european force to defend europe specifically naming russia china and the u.s. i want to start with you david how did those remarks strike you. well in many ways i think this is this is nothing new it in some ways the macro he he's positioning himself as a kind of dominant leader of the french nation and of course richard is perceived to be a threat by many european powers including germany in the u.k. but the difference here there of course is the image to the u.s. a theme of the central challenge now this comes in the context of donald trump threatening to withdraw u.s. pending from nato and micro is a real he's a real fun of the the so-called supranational bodies so particular the european union and also nato he sees the french role in both of those organizations being significant so for micro in some ways this is an opportunity this isn't self as being a leader of those two organizations and say france be pushed to the world stage i think he's research jostling for position here today many ways i think we need to draw a line between the rhetoric

business if i say we're going to get it all they will get the big military bridge and other things russia and china russia and china would be very very happy but all of the trends comments have been widely condemned in the united states with former top officials saying he's given a green light to commit murder senator lindsey graham who's an ally of trump said there is strong support in congress to impose serious sanctions against saudi. the u.s. has blacklisted iranian and russian companies for shipping millions of barrels of oil to syria in violation of u.s. sanctions the state department accuses iran and russia of using the revenues to help syrian government allies which the u.s. considers terrorist groups secretary of state to my palm peo says the transactions on the mind the just met efforts to resolve the war in syria two more bodies have been found in northern california bringing the number killed in wildfire there to eighty one and at least eight hundred people are still missing heavy rain that forecast for those on wednesday could hamper efforts to find human remains there will be more air

getting along with russia, china and all of them would be a good thing. i've set up for a long time. we'll have plenty of meetings. i'm not sure that we'll have a meeting in paris. probably not. [inaudible] dish i don't know about it. we have a lot of ads. they certainly are effective based on the numbers we are seeing. [inaudible] >> well, a lot of things are offensive. your questions are offensive a lot of time. [inaudible] >> well, i don't think so but i'm willing to accept that. we are doing well. and i think we are going to do very well in the house. if you look over 100 years for whatever reason the party with the president doesn't do very well. i think we will do pretty well. look, you're covering me. the energy that we have, the energy that this whole party has now is really incredible. whether it is the great economy or the immigration or strong stand in a very weak stand where they have open borders, which to me means nothing but crime. i don't know, but i can tell you there's a lot of energy.

that same atmosphere heading in to choose day the root of the problem of the impasse really is russia china amongst others have real issues with the proposal that was voted through in june from the united kingdom that this would give the o.p.c. w. the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons more powers that would give them the power to be able to. identify perpetrators of a chemical attack now that vote passed voice just eighty three in favor out of one hundred ninety three at the very bare minimum needed abstentions weren't taken into consideration then what russia and others are saying is these powers that were voted for in june they tread on the toes of already existing powers of the un security and security council so what we're going to see on tuesday is a vote on whether that ballot back in june was valid it's not going to be another vote on the u.k. proposal it's going to be a vote on the ballot that allowed the propose. well to come through in june now what we're hearing at the moment is that it's likely that that decision in june would be upheld what happens then is we

china so far i mean u.s. national security has a jump out and says russia and the u.s. need to hold strategic talks about china missiles which pose a potential threat to russia as well that's what is that that's how he put it today maybe washington is seeking to pick moscow and beijing against each other where you remember or i i don't want to make you older than you are you you won't remember but you've read about it that during the nixon year the idea was to play the so-called china card against the soviet union to china toward washington and away from moscow and the rest there is no china card any longer the old kissinger idea that you could play off china against russia is gone russia and china are becoming perhaps a story kallaugher is economically politically militarily strategically this has happened due to a lot of factors however you're right i mean china now has to be included in any new nuclear arms arrangements that involve these regional or intermediate intermediary misses my own feeling is that the struggle over china policy in washington is almost as inten

military equipment and other things from russia china russia and china would be very very happy the u.s. foreign policy is basically driven by the military industrial complex which as he reports in this statement is due to receive one hundred ten billion dollars in weapons or orders from saudi arabia so that's what it's come down to the united states under president is first and foremost a weapons and arms deal elsewhere in the world today second person is now known to have died amid days of mass protests in france the result of the rising cost of fuel which is being partly blamed on president lacross carbon tax hikes sever the protests and blockades and turn violent. oh i was there are no more. use your morrow. demonstrate to set fire to tollbooths on a higher ground southeast tuesday night elsewhere refineries and key roads were blocked causing major disruption over a quarter of a million people join the so-called yellow vest protest named after the hive his jackets which motorists have to carry in their vehicles their friends those demonstrations are spread nationwide now over five h

country and well stability will be a subject in singapore tomorrow when leaders from russia the us and you're in china convene to discuss the future of the planet that's followed by apec summit in papua new guinea again the usa russia and china will be present we'll get the perspective of a u.k. government advisor on china later in the show but before that to the midterms which british media rugby suggests demonstrate donald trump's decline even though the g.o.p. won seats in the senate joining me now via skype from atlanta georgia is the green party twenty sixteen vice presidential candidate joe miller. thanks for coming back on record breaking turnout but still more people didn't vote than voted what is the point of u.s. elections. if it is to determine every two or four years what set of oppressors will be putting in office and i hate to sound like that but in essence because of the very real limitations of us democracy that make it very difficult for any political challenge to take place beyond the two parties then people are basically stuck with having to participate either supporting one major r

made reference to wanting a european force to defend europe specifically against threats in a russia china that's not surprising but he named the united states as well i'd be curious to know your thoughts your reaction to those remarks well we saw donald tusk say the same thing several months ago i think this is a worrying narrative especially since transplanted relations have been very strong for the last seventy years and this is not helpful i think this is in response to the trumpet ministration. way the pulling out of the iran agreement also climate change pulling out of that agreement and also the tariff or so instead of working with the europeans the trumpet ministration has unfortunately had the approach of upsetting everyone at the same time allies as well as adversaries and instead of working together with them they've actually turn them against the u.s. now this new program that. the crown has mentioned i mean i wonder how this will work sitting as they do in brussels how this will work with pascoe because pascoe is made up of twenty five members and this is kind of a coalition o

they will get the equipment, military equipment from russia and china. china would be very, very happy because right now we're doing very well against china, we're doing very well against everybody, including russia, i'm going to keep it that way. i'm not going to tell a country that spending hundreds of billions of dollars and helped me do one thing very importantly, keep oil prices down, so they are not going to $100 and $150 per barrel, right now we have oil prices in great shape. i'm not going to destroy the world economy and i'm not going to destroy the economy for our country by being foolish with saudi arabia. i think the statement, wait a minute. i think the statement was pretty obvious what i said, it is about america first. president trump: say it again. >> inappropriate for your daughter's personal e-mail -- president trump: just so you understand, ivanka trump did some e-mails, they were not classified like hillary clinton. they were not deleted like hillary clinton, who deleted 33, she wasn't doing anything to hide her e-mails. i looked at it

in which direction, if any, can be iranian authorities turned— i think in russia, china? turning with two russia and china and increasing relations with india. i also think the european union has an trinity here. they have the power and the will to do something and push harder against the us because they will, some of the countries italy, spain, within the eu will also suffer from these sanctions. the eu has a responsibility he had to use some of its power as well. there are a lot of powerful tools to use and military power is not always the one to turn to. i think we should start looking at some other avenues as an international community. really good to get your analysis on that. thank you very much. iranian sanctions due to come in in the next few hours. final campaigning is underway in the united states ahead of tuesday's mid—term elections — a key test for president trump. he's been addressing supporters at a rally in georgia, while barack 0bama is campaigning in indiana for the democrats. chris buckler reports. # proud to be an american... donald trump has been noth

russia china would be very very happy the us foreign policy is basically driven by the military industrial complex which as he reports in this statement is due to receive one hundred ten billion dollars in weapons or orders from saudi arabia so that's what it's come down to the united states under president is first and foremost a weapons an arms dealer. a controversial law to tackle fake news has been passed by french parliament nearly a year after president mccrone vowed to clamp down on what he called destabilization efforts to do by the ski has the details. this would be implemented in the three months before a national election here in france and it would mean that it would give greater scrutiny to what's published on things such as social media and also on t.v. channels it would love social media uses to flag up items that they think are spreading false information if so those items would be removed i'm told so it would allow people who are standing for election to take ideas of what they believe is a spread of false information to the courts here in france the judges then

unfortunately, russia, china, and others have not followed us. so, i am one of these people who believe if we can do it in a way that is consistent with our security policy, we should reduce the role of nuclear weapons. unfortunately, as i mentioned just previously, others have not. so i think we are stuck with nuclear weapons. they are not going away anytime soon. therefore, it is critical that the united states maintains a safe, secure, and effective nuclear deterrent that can deter threats against the united states and our allies. that is key. as much as we talk about wanting to reduce and eventually eliminate nuclear weapons, that needs to be closely connected to the security environment. and if anything, the security environment has gotten worse over the last 25 years. and let me leave you with this one last point. and that's that is that when you talk about nuclear modernization, do not forget the important role that arms control has played in advancing nuclear modernization. had it not been for the new start treaty, i am not necessarily co
