manufacturers could be allowed to sell drones and other weapons aboard with that government approval samir khan has the story. the trump administration says that these new reforms are intended to strengthen the american economy now the policy will cut back the time it takes to approve arms deals as well as ease limits on drone exports to name a few but it's not the only reason why trump is trying to make it easier for other countries to buy american weapons to reduce their reliance on weapons from china and russia but if we look at trump's time in office so for this really isn't anything new he kicked off his presidency a signing an arms deal with a saudi arabia then went on to sign arms deals with japan south korea poland and another one with the saudis but why don't we check out how u.s. officials explain the reform. for too long and ultimately more capable of protecting themselves with fewer american boots on the ground this is a balanced policy with absolutely look at human rights as one of a set of considerations that palooka so it's certainly possible that the saudis could possess ev

it's a lot of energy, and we have some amazing people like samir to teach everyone who shows up how to dance. robert: yeah, well, sameer, i called you our "color commentator" here. thank you for being here to do this. talk to me about the culture here. one of the things that i was impressed about when i was there before was that storytelling is, like, a popular thing, especially among the young people there because they want to find out more, huh? sameer: oh, yeah, growing up in this area has been great, especially as my parents immigrated from india and pakistan to america, and being first generation here. it's really awesome that our community has events like holi and diwali and different festivals that i can come and experience similar things that i would experience back where my parents grew up. and holi festival is probably one of my favorites, just it's so much fun. everyone comes, starts wearing all white. everyone's clean, everyone's white, and then we all get together and we start throwing powder at each other, and by the end of it, everyone's this beautiful art piece almost o

your point about international law is interesting samir because we've started to see some of our foreign partners and some countries that are not our foreign partners start moving in this area. the united kingdom has enacted legislation in this area. australia publicly announced they're thinking seriously and there will probably be movement over the next few months. the chinese government asserted authorities in this area so i don't think it's a fair characterization to say that we're kind of at the cutting edge of this. in fact many countries have started moving in this area and we're in danger of falling behind because of the developments we've seen around the world. the other point is the reality of network effects. people tend to use communications platforms that their friends use, that their colleagues use so the reality is people tend to use the systems that other people are using. that's what we're most interested in. we're not mosted interested in shutting down innovation, people working out of their garage. we're focused on people using mass-market devices that encrypt by defaul

ok samir khan in washington thanks very much for detailing that for us. now as for all this how it all looks in tehran anyway political analyst saeed moustapha cause chesham told me that although from sin america might be aligning on the iran deal the rest of europe does not want to shift the real nations in europe especially friends even more than germany and britain is trying to get closer to donald trump aspirations and demands especially with regard to iran is not we are you sure but the worst of europe is a standing against any intensification of problems and tensions with iran they just reject the demand by trio of european nations with regard to imposing further sanctions on iran for its missile and regional activities so this shows that europe is not much willing to work with donald trump. it's emerged that a man who was once allegedly asama bin laden's body guard has been living in germany on welfare for more than twenty years with the details his police. even know some of the lot and was killed in two thousand and eleven by u.s. special forces o

and russian president with more on samir khan from d.c. . well here are the latest details on last month's phone call between president putin and president trump now back on march twentieth donald trump called to congratulate president putin on his reelection this move was criticized by many in the american media according to the russian aide to president putin and the white house spokesperson a bilateral meeting was planned during the phone call but today we've learned that during that conversation trump invited president putin to visit washington d.c. but just as a reminder the phone call happened before the u.s. expelled sixteen russian diplomats over the poisoning of a russian ex-wife with russia being blamed for it of course and then russia responded in a tit for tat measure announcing the expulsion of sixty eight u.s. diplomats but the kremlin says that no meeting preparations have been made at the time but according to president putin's aide the white house was discussed as one of the possible venue's so we'll just have to see how thi
