prevent the united states from. supporting the theft of london and the expulsion of of people look i'm not a fortune teller we don't know what will happen a year two three five ten from now on what is clear is that the general assembly and the two thirds majority of member states ex-president for the south clearly on this matter and i think this disability message will not go unnoticed do you think that the two state solution as adopted by the united nations is viable after what has happened. and do you fear that the. approach to try and find some sort of political resolution to what is one of the all this conflict ongoing conflicts in the world that this is still an option on the table after what the united states has done the two state solution is the only solution we support is the only solution that has been discussed the only solution that is clearly been negotiated and has a strong support of the united nations and other international organizations yes we are struggling now to get the process back on track but

who we are, the united states and the russian federation? i don't want to blame anyone for the current situation in russian-american relations, but today is the first official remarks by me as an ambassador for the russian federation to the united states. [applause] amb. antonov: i am not a magician. >> i want you to stop killing in chechnya. stop killing gay people in chechnya. i want gay people left alone in chechnya. we need to protect gay people. stop killing gay chechnyans. stop killing gay chechnyans. stop killing gay chechnyans. stop killing gay chechnyans. [applause] [crowd noise] amb. antonov: you can see our relations are complicated. it seems to me everybody has the right to explain what he wants. how he can see how he sees the current situation. it seems to me i also have the right to convey a few remarks to you, trying to explain how we in the russian federation understand the current situation in russian-american relations. i would like to explain to you how we understand the importance of russian-american relations. i don't wa

first, the involvement of the united states and the war with the united states. when we think of america's relationship with the first world war as being from 1917 to 1918, we are missing the main point. united states was deeply involved in this war in a variety of ways. much earlier than american entry in 1917. the other thing this poster is attempting to get across is it is part of the movement that began -- that was known as preparedness. but the united states should or should not do to change its own society. to change its way of thinking. in response to events with -- that were going on in europe. the question of how the united states interacted with the first world war before entry is something we have a lot of conventional wisdom on, half-baked ideas, but not really a lot of solid research. the book i worked on, "path to war," was an attempt to do this. to understand how a large, diverse, complicated society, like the united states, was responding to the events in europe, and how that response conditioned not only american entry in the war, but how american

when the united states grows, so does the world. the president will continue to promote fair economic competition and will make it clear that there cannot be free and open trade when countries are not held accountable to the rules. as the president has said repeatedly, america and is a ministration supports free and open trade, but it needs to be fair and reciprocal. we will now share a little bit about the president's schedule onhe desk and the economic general -- agenda and i landed off to general mcmasters -- general mcmaster. the president departs tomorrow evening and then arrives thursday morning local time in switzerland. on thursday will have a variety of meetings with world leaders and then quick meeting with the founder of the world economic forum. on thursday night, the world economic forum will hold a reception with world leaders to honor the president. ther on that night, president will host a small dinner with select european companies to share our economic success stories that encourage them to continue to invest in am

be doing to grow our economy and create jobs in the united states. there were a lot of people saying that it was because the president pulled back. >> the u.s. is pulling back from nothing. the president talked about trade willingnessnd his to have bilateral trade agreements with many of the countries he visited in asia and were more than willing to have bilateral trade agreement. >> i would like to get both of its talk about the african withng, it deals immigration in light of all the controversy of immigration and the red -- alleged racist comments that were made, can you both talk about that and how you help the upset african leaders. >> the president will be building on a very successful meeting with african leaders and it was in that meeting and some remarks that could have received broader attention. he laid out the very clear direction for a relationship with the african nations in particular, the need is obvious, for us to work together on issues of security. our interests overlap completely terrorists organizations and others trying to polari

of the united states. and i understand there is a nexus there with u.s. forces in those regions. but, the point is to reform the immigration system to protect americans. can you provide more information, more statistics that show doing so would have prevented people from coming in who committed more crimes inside the united states? do you have maybe better examples than what you are trying to say? >> so,. >> this is the first iteration of this report. we in working together with dhs certainly expect to have more statistics and address some of the issues we weren't able to address in this initial report in future iterations of this report. in terms of the cases that are reported, i mean, if you do look at the cases, some of which are included in this section 11 report, there are certainly cases that relate to conduct that has been committed in the united states. conduct that is in support of, for instance, al qaeda or isis. so there are plenty of examples of conduct that was actually committed in the united

those individuals were of course attempting to get into the united states. additional important statistics provide by dh and document in the report include the fact that between october 1, 2011, september 3030, 2017, a total of 355,345 noncitizen offenders were administratively arrested after praising been convicted of an aggravated felony for two or more crimes each punishable by more than one year of a regular felon. during the same time, according to just 372,098 372,098 noncitn offenders removed from the united states after conviction of an aggravated felony or two or more felonies. between fiscal year 2010-2017 customs and border protection,, cbp, identified and prevented deporting 72,261 for travelers on flights destined to the united states bromance presented in immigration security risk. in a statement yesterday about the report, attorney general sessions indicated that are currently thousands of terrorism related investigations into thousands of people in the united states including hundreds of people who came her as refugees. in addition, citing sur

the united states. listen. >> no longer can we compound the attacks on truth with our silent ak wee yes sense. no longer can we turn a blind eye or deaf ear to those assaults on our institutions. an american president who cannot take criticism, who must constantly distract and distort, who must find someone else to blame, is charting a very dangerous path. and a congress that fails to act as a check on the president adds to that danger. >> gloria, it was a very, very powerful speech. >> it was a powerful speech. it was something obviously that he's given now that he's not running for re-election, i might remind you. but i do think that he is trying to kind of zwrgin up some sense among republicans that's their obligation, as members of the president's party, to fight him when he does things like call the press the enemy of the people. we saw john mccain's op ed today in the "new york times" where he echoed that sentiment and talked about the importance of a free press in this country. i think it will fal

saudi arabia would like the united states remain there israel would like the united states to remain there to cut down assad's government and to deny the syrian government oil water and agricultural land that's what chopping syria into two and a bella ping a long term relationship with the kurds in the north helping them it to develop greater independence will ultimately do it'll keep syria very weak this is a way to night iran the fruits of it's a victory in syria and also to bring russia down a notch so i think the united states is seeing this as a way to hurt its enemies russia and it won and to help its allies. both israel and saudi arabia the trouble is is that turkey is collateral damage here the united states' relationship with turkey is going from bad to worse and this dependence on the kurds is in a sense underlining that the united states unfortunately i believe has looked at turkey as a last partner that it's moved towards dictatorship greater islamist i'm less democracy is not something that's going to be reversed and that america can't reverse i think the united states th

there is a context within the russian and united states presidents on the sidelines of the asia-pacific summit in vietnam, in a joint statement of syria that our countries need each other. they are coordinating their efforts to defeat isis and achieve a stable political settlement in syria. we are united in necessity to address the challenge of nonproliferation of weapons of mass distraction. the fact that we have not reduced our efforts to resolve the iranian nuclear program and to destroy syria's chemical weapons despite our strong disagreements over the ukrainian crisis speaks volumes. today, developments surrounding north korean nuclear program are quite serious. in this regard, i would like to emphasize that russia, as well as the united states, does not accept the nuclear state of north korea. we have consistently advocated the denuclearization of the korean peninsula, but this issue can only be settled through a negotiated solution by diplomatic means. it would be inadvisable to test the strength of the north korean leadership and provoke a rash countermeasure. russia is committe

when the united states grows, so does the world.n prosperity has created countless jobs all around the globe and the drive for excellence and innovation in the u.s. has led to important discoveries that help people everywhere live more prosperous and far healthier lives. as the united states pursues domestic reforms, to unleash jobs and growth we're also working to reform the international trading system so that it promoting broadly shared prosperity and rewards to those who play by the rules. we cannot have free and open trade if some countries exploit the system at the expense of others. we support free trade, but it needs to be fair and it needs to be resip are because in the end unfair trade underminus us all. the united states will no longer turn a blind eye to unfair economic practices including massive intellectual profit theft industrial subsidies and pervasive state led economic planning. these and other predatory behaviors are disturbing global market and harming business and workers not just in the u.s. but around the glo

we recognize that peace will require compromise but you can be confident in this the united states of america will never compromise the safety and security of the state of israel and any peace agreement. must guarantee israel's ability to defend itself by itself now there are those who believe. that the world can change that we're destined to engage and loose violence that age old conflicts can't be resolved and that hope itself is an illusion but my friends president trump doesn't believe it i don't believe it and neither do you. i stand here today in a city whose very name means peace and i stand here i know that peace is possible because history records that israel has made the very difficult decisions to achieve peace with its neighbors in the past over the past two days i've traveled to egypt and jordan to nations with them israel has long enjoy the fruits of peace i spoke with america's great friends president sisi of egypt and king abdullah of jordan about the courage of their predecessors who forged an end the conflict with israel in their time and those two leaders prove ever

they were of course attempting to get into the united states. additional statistics provided include the fact between october 1, 2011 and septembe september 302017, a total of 355,345 noncitizens offenders were arrested after being convicted of an aggregated felony or two or more crimes each punishable by more than one year for a regular felony. during the same time. cody hs 372,098 noncitizens offenders were removed from the united states at the conviction of an aggregated felony or two or more felonies and between fiscal year 2010 and 2017 customs and border protection identified and prevented the boarding of 73,261 travelers on flight tested from the united states who may have presented a security risk. in a statement yesterday about the paper, attorney general sessions indicate that there are thousands of investigations and thousands of people in the united states including those who came here as refugees. in addition, citing surveys previously by the components that there' there is an estimato 27 other killings in the united states and an es

the. united nations security council holds an emergency session on the anti-government protests that have swept iran. turkey lashes out at america apparently threatening to drop bilateral agreements after the conviction of a turkish tanker in the u.s. that is as pakistan also backs away from its alliance with washington. extreme hardship in france that thousands of migrants are living on the streets despite president promise to find them all shelter before the two thousand and seventeen we hear some of their stories. and this man a new. story is this he still would. welcome back you're watching arch international and sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us all right an emergency u.n. security council meeting to discuss the mass anti-government protests that engulfs iran has finished up in new york the session was called by washington which has voiced its strong support for the demonstrators and tells us what was said during the meeting. the meeting was called by the united states an emerge

states that means the united states loses the only way the united states the only they with that the recession can work is if the united states wins and hence the others lose and that's a problem that's a problematic approach to foreign policy and to foreign trade because the united states is over the last twenty five years certainly since the second world war has built an international liberal order it's the united states that takes the credit for the entire international system the rule of law the relations between states full of ration of nuclear in other weapons or nonproliferation and certainly on the questions of trade it is all an american order and all his successors since world war two and certainly since the end of the cold war have respected in fact they have noticed this world order that the united states has built. donald trump over the last year has begun to chip at this liberal order in fact he is insists on undoing an entire liberal order the united states built and takes credit for that will not only be bad for their so the war if there's no other system or there's n

the 45th president of the united states of america, president donald trump. [applause] thanks to his leadership, the alliance between our two countries has never been stronger. the friendship between our two people has never been deeper. i am here to convey a simple message heard of the american people, america stands with israel. [applause] we stand with israel because our causes your cause. our values are our values and your fight is our fight. we believe in right around and good over evil. we stand with israel because that's what americans have always done. so it's been since my country's earliest day. during his historic visit to jerusalem president trump declared the bond between us his woven together in the heart of our people and we have always held a special respect and admiration for the people of the book. in the story of the jews, we've always seen the story of america. it is the story of an exodus, a journey from persecution to freedom, a story that shows the power of faith in the promise of hope. my country's very first settlers also saw themselve

a bomb shell from the president of the united states. also in a separate interview with the wall street journal, the president of the united states said i probably have a very good relationship with kim jong-un, the north korean leader. ben cardin is with us, the ranking member of the senate foreign relations committee. your reaction on this description for people who to want come to the united states from countries like haiti, el salvador, african countries to the united states, these are s-hole countries. i won't say the word. he did say why can't there be more people who come to the united states from countries like norway. he did meet with the prime minister of norway yesterday. >> well, america's strength is in our values and we stand for how we represent to the global community democratic principles, inclusion, et cetera, the president's comments damaged us greatly. now i think our responsibility to say that his comments do not represent america. we've got stand up and say that we won't tolerate that type of characterization as to w

view the united states views them as the key threat for themselves they are saying the both russia and china are trying to impose their authority tarion regime on the world the authoritarian way of life so to speak and they're looking to counter that so this important thing to understand about this defense strategies that it is not really a defense but more of an offense thing because its offensive like the u.s. defense secretary has said that anyone who tries to challenge the united states or attempt takes an attempt at challenging the united states that day would be their worst day this is something this is something the officially the official said and obviously russia and china and other countries like iran and north korea they are also on the list of threats they have been challenging the united states as well i mean diplomatically but now the united states apparently are moving this into these so to speak the military realm and once there's that modernization of the doctrine was this all about well indeed matt is former general mad. he spent a lot of time talking about how the un

for the united states. so may overall view of the iran deal was if you go back and you look at what obama administration officials said that was necessary for a good deal, and compare it to the deal we have now, it doesn't come anywhere near what the officials, themselves, said was necessary for a good deal. if you don't believe me, you can go look at senator schumer's press release when the deal was completed. he opposed the deal. he is a democrat. he laid out all of the reasons he thought the deal was bad and i agree with every single one of his complaints. ok. we have the deal now. i am actually supportive of the administration's, the u.s. administration's approach now which is to say you don't certify the deal if we don't know for sure they are complying. there are reasons we believe they aren't complying including the fact that we don't have access to some of the military installations, the iranians complain the deal didn't include the military installations. my reading of the iran deal was it was purpo

if the united kingdom and the united statetes decided tomorrow morning not to buy south african goods, not to buy south african gold, to put an embargo on oil, if our investors and capitalists would withdraw their support for that racial tyranny that we find there, then apartheid woululd be brought to an end.. totoday, dr. king's cityty temple address, decemberer 7th, 1964, in londo. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. and those are some of the headlines this is democracy now, democracynow.org, the war anand peacace report. i'i'm amy y goodman. amy odman:n: today is ththe federal holiday honoring dr. martin luther king. he was born n january 15th, 192. he was assassinated april 4th, 1968, at the lorraine motel in memphis, tennessee. he was just 39 years old. while dr. king is primarily remembered as a civil rights leader, he also championed the cause of t the poor, organizing the poor people's campaign to address issues of economic justice. dr. king was also a fierce critic of u.s. foreign policy and the

again, surprisingly, the united states opposed this move. finally, in eurasia, we have been working closely consolidating our efforts for integration. china has its own initiative. the president of russia and the chairman of china have agreed to promote couplings of eurasian integration and the one belt, one road initiative. members of the eurasian economic union have been working together on a treaty -- on a trade deal with china. simultaneously, we see context between them. also open for asian country and -- countries to join in, they have signed agreements with the eae you, for talks. on the whole, this is what president putin calls the greater eurasia project. this looks very promising. of course, we have to consider a number of important factors because there are a lot of economic interests at stake. but, everybody -- this initiative looks so promising because it is based on real-life. it doesn't set up specific frameworks in advance and moves on to practical things. no. the way we do it is -- i can give you a metaphor. you know how they

states to people in the united states. agents and officers asking more questions and prosecutors prosecuting more cases. will lead to a safer united states. i firmly believe that. in support of isis-related philosophies engage in ask. talk about engaging in committing acts here in the united states that were able to prevent that makes the americans safe. >> i'd like to ask about national security as it relates to the arrest of the agents. talk about the significant of that arrest and why? >> i will say that that is demonstrated in the complaint that was unrelated to the case that former officer retained classified information. as that case proceeds through the courts, i would expect to have more information about the conduct that underlies those charges and the complaint will come out. but as of now, that case was investigated before i came to the national security division. it's an important case. it goes to illegal retention of classified information so it's going to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. >> yester

driven by demand in the united states. luckily, we are partners who focus on the transit but never solved it. we need to work on the supply side and we need to work on the demand side in the united states and address medically the challenges here. let's go north to the arctic. on the left is a doomed vessel. it sailed empowered itself into the high north in the mid- 19th century. private public expedition. got caught in the ice and most of the crew got were lost. even as late as the 19th century we had no idea what was in the high north. today is a fact, the ice is melting. we can have a big debate about the science of global warmer, i'm here's a mariner. the ice is melting. the sea lanes of communication will open. hydrocarbons will be available and significant countr significt competition in the high north. this could be a real cold war overtime. rush on one side of this arctic and five nato nations, u.s., canada, denmark, iceland, norway on the other side. because of the ice melting it will create a real geopolitical cha

nations security council to convene because there were riots inside the united states but the united states seems to think that each it has the moral responsibility to protect protesters in iran when they don't even protect their own people at home that's exactly what the russian representative to the united nations and the united nations chastised nikki haley about should be should that investigate further should and should we invest to buy investigate occupy wall street or these matters for internet when i'm aware that shooting in las vegas i'd like to know something about that maybe the u.n. can help us find out what happened. and i think would be a good idea. these protests are completely there's hasn't been a story since russia gate well i mean there are so many of them stories. actually that the press has gotten so wrong and the press was baiting the press the commentary at the foreign policy blog in the u.s. where babying as one regime change regime change freedom well i mean really iranians of course if they wanted sanctions to force the arabian people to change the regime an

well yes if one believes the international community is not just the united states and israel i think that is the consensus but i would add that this partisanship this taking sides goes back long before the trumpets ministration it goes back all the way to every administration actually after the kennedy administration when u.s. presidents have cast their vetoes in united nations resolutions demanding the contamination of settlements and settlements to me are even maybe more important to some degree than the jerusalem decision per se and they have been going on those expansions that lang grab has been going on unabated for the last decades and no u.s. president has stopped that and that's the fat complete and what trump is doing now i think is just you know making a big show out of it in a way but the deterioration of what the so-called peace process process is has been going on for a long time so i don't think it's as revolutionary in that sense and just to commit cumulation of ministrations past ok would you agree with that broadly speaking this is the u.s. just laying its cards out

twenty eighteen to consider the remarks made by the president of the united states. and is extremely appalled at and strongly condemns the outrageous racist and xenophobic remarks a tribute to the president of the united states of america as widely reported in the media. demands a retraction and apology well president trump is also being accused of lying often denying he used the abuse of terms of democratic senator he was in the meeting with trump the comments made a white house correspondent kimberly how the controversy that spread far beyond the u.s. capitol. surrounded by members of the african-american community at a white house ceremony honoring the civil rights icon dr martin luther king donald trump made no apology for his alleged racist comments a day earlier. right in a series of early morning tweets donald trump denied media reports that he had called haiti el salvador and african countries shitholes during a meeting with senators on immigration but he did admit the language used was tough he also denied saying anything derogatory about haitians other than

the united nations security council holds an emergency session on the antigovernment protests that have swept around these are live pictures ongoing from new york we've got reaction coming up in just a moment and i constantly think this. turkey lashes out america are partly threatening to drop bilateral agreements after the conviction of a turkish banker in the us pakistan also backs away from its alliance with washington. stream hardship in france valuations of migrants continue to sleep rough despite president promised to find them all shelter before the end of twenty seven we hear some of their stories. you look at this moment. in the story is this the life you still she would have. just a few moments into a brand new day here in moscow it's the weekend saturday january fifth welcome to our international our top story an emergency united nations security council meeting to discuss the government protests that engulfed iran is no way these are live pictures from new york the session was called by the u.s. which was quick to voice its support for the demonstrators. and i do believe the

i'm also being investigated the united states i believe that this is another area. the values of democracy and with law and freedom and ability that your country has advocated for over 240 years is a beacon of light for everyone including my people because they also believe in peace values and i think we are moving in that direction. we are getting there. and as to who would make it-- >> i'm hanging on your every word, ambassador. of course i believe in voting. i voted last time. we do get our option through the advanced. the question about the regional trade in china. what are the steps on how pakistan and the afghan government and the u.s. might take to ensure peace in afghanistan. it's driving the drug trade and its driving militancy. so what are your prospects for peace and what role should pakistan play the first one is about the decision to withhold aid and the reaction and the specific steps on the settleme settlement. >> we think that the big gear that was quoted half of that was with respect to the reimbursement for the expense that we had anchore incurred f

seems to be such a continuation there doesn't seem to matter who's the president of the united states it's the deep state the decides who our enemies are and how those they will be dealt with ok because i do i can't the contrast is so great that i've never seen it from a candidate to a president in my lifetime go ahead michael. what candidates get captured when they move from the campaign and from their own voice however authentic or inauthentic it is and then they get a subservient into the imperial worldview of the imperial city and the courtiers or the deep state if you want to call it that instead reshape their worldview and in many ways the over arching sensibility in washington today in terms of strategy is one of tremendous anxiety and insecurity now and so a grandstanding strategy a grandstanding strategy that looks like it's doing things that looks aggressive like the war on isis it's all a wonderful kind of demonstration and display the u.s. is not going to risk a big war with either china or russia but it will grandstand hence the ten thousand or so barrett fifty caliber sn

the united states deputy secretary of defense shanahan and the u.s. undersecretary for acquisition technologies and logistics lord have both emphasized the criticality of innovation, experimentation and new technology in recent remarks and both are working to align technology development planning with modernization objectives and to accelerate these efforts. u.s. military service leadership, civilian and uniformed, have been emphasizing these very same themes. and u.s. industrial leaders have emphasized that they are today working on delivering the capabilities envisioned in the third offset discussion. i see a very similar emphasis in south korean technical planning where dapa's focus on future creation technology seeks to align industrial structures and accelerate new technology initial tiffs to shape the high technology systems that will define tomorrow's korean national security capability and capacity. the united states has put great emphasis on capturing potential national security innovation from all sources, reaching out to non-traditional sup

it has deep reach into the united states. ot simply about the physical structure but about the very nature of society that the united states wants to live in. the wall as the president embraces it, with his attacks on muslims and other communities, with his resentment towards nafta, is not simply about creating a physical structure , but creating barriers and divisions in one's mind and promoting politics of exclusion and bigotry, the very opposite of the american dream. [applause] >> thank you so much for being here today. we're hoping it's going to be an exciting panel, it is certainly timely. it has been in the news all week long. the will probably be in the news as the debate gets going on all the different bills for a daca six. a lot of things get intertwined here, and we're hoping that will shed some light on the deeper underlying the discussion over issues that are the border wall or border security, and then we want to hear from you guys, what your concerns are, what your questions are. and hopefully the congressman wi

northern triangle and the vetted units we support made 3,116 arrests and denied more than $200 million revenue to criminal organizations. because gangs are transnational, i cannot overstate the importance of strong regional coordination. we must be nimble, and inl continually evolves its approach. inl and fbi developed the regional criminal gang intelligence platform to enable realtime information flow between tag units. last may, inl with the department of homeland security created the border immigration and coordination center, el salvador and multiagency task force to help u.s., state and local authorities identify, arrest or deny entry to gang members. to date we've identified 214 -- excuse me, 240 ms-13 members not previously known to u.s. law enforcement. 46 not previously known to salvadorian authorities, and 37 salvadorian human smugglers and facilitators. in the last two weeks, we identified 16 salvadorian gang members, four of which had active arrest warrants in el salvador for crimes including aggravated homicide. they will be processed for deportation, and

at the initial organizing meeting of the united nations. e was actually the only woman delegate from the u.s. and she knew that none of the men were too happy to have her as a member of that delegation. she figured that they were trying to find a spot for her where she could do the least damage, as she said, because they felt that she didn't have the qualifications to be a good delegate. so they put her on a committee called committee three, which was going to work on more social kinds of programs, and that would end up being the most important committee that they had at the united nations because her proudest achievement was the universal declaration of human rights. because in the 30 articles that are in that document, it outlines all of the rights that every human being on this planet should have. in order to achieve world peace. and she always felt that that was the one thing that she accomplished that made everything she did prior to that worthwhile. we're on the second floor of mrs. roosevelt's home and we are now entering her bedroom.

so that is the russian ambassador to the united nations recently. talking about the situation in iran and not unexpectedly as expected condemning the need for this discussion in the first place saying the united states is undermining the already of the security council with his bogus pretext to the agenda and why are you talking today when the talking to there in the situation has become normalized in iran let's bring in our course one of my kind who joins us from the u.n. in new york has been listening in as i say very much an expected tirade against the u.s. over. we do indeed yes accusing the u.s. directly of using the security council in a thinly veiled attempt to undermine the joint comprehensive plan of action that iran nuclear deal which the russian ambassador. described as the most important form of non-nuclear proliferation in recent years but he does not stand alone within the council we heard similar sentiments expressed by other members such as equitorial guinea and ethiopia and the ethiopian ambassador made a very salient point saying th

and all the ambassador to united nations saying the u.k. like the others are watching events very closely calling for an end to the violence and for the government to comply with its human rights obligations he did mr. president rouhani has said the people's concern is president rouhani has said the people's concerns are legitimate and he called for iran to grant special access to grant access to the un special rapporteur and then went on to talk away from the protests about the security concerns in iran and how iran has a rightful place in the modern world but that iran and regional activity is threatening international peace and security let's speak to our correspondent mike hanna who has been listening in. on what he hates the u.s. ambassador have approved of what she just heard. well she would certainly have approved of the u.k. ambassador widening out this discussion from one political protest in iran to the role the wider role that the country may or may not be playing within the region we heard there as you mentioned from the u.k. am
