u.s. administration between the u.s. administration and palestine regarding all these causes that are now just ignore. ladies and gentlemen, consistent with our commitment to of the two state solution and negotiations to achieve them we have never refused and i do to tell me about anything where we refuse to come to the negotiation table, to the contrary, we have been in fight to more than once by more than one country here and they told us -- they invited us to sit with netanyahu and every time i accepted. i challenge you to tell me that i have refused once, or if they have, on the other hand, accepted once. we have never refuse a negotiation during the peace process. i came before the security council on the 20th of february this year and presented an initiative calling for the convening of an international on , andelevant u.n. solutions the internationally endorsed parameters. such should involve international participant tatian -- participation. show take this initiative in its entirety to you and hope you will suppor

u.s. administration also announced that they will withhold over two hundred million u.s. dollars in development aid to the palestinian. tanya kramer there in a jerusalem well rebel forces in eastern ukraine claiming to have to take several suspects in the killing of a top separatists leader and xander was killed in a bomb explosion on friday in the city of donetsk he had led russia back separatists in the donetsk region in ukraine russia accusing the crane of assassinating him to escalate a conflict in the region but kiev is denying involvement. this is the aftermath of a blast that killed alexander the leader of the self-proclaimed donetsk people's republic the russian backed separatists say they know who is responsible for the explosion. investigation is still ongoing and security measures in the republic have been tightened all borders remain closed a few people have already been detained they've already given evidence confirming that this was ukrainian act of sabotage. seen here have been the president of the so called the nets people's republic since two thousand and

u.s. administration also announced that it will withhold over two hundred million u.s. dollars in development aid to the palestinians and indeed when we talk about the most vulnerable we're talking about millions of refugees who receive assistance what impact can we expect this cut in funding to have on that. well the u.s. has been the single largest donor to the agency and they're already back and generally they had announced well withhold some of their funds and now this decision to cut back all of them will obviously put the agency into more of a situation of a financial crisis now the agency has tried over the past couple of months to get more support from other countries germany has announced on friday that they will that they're prepared to get more support calling also in other nations still to see whether that can fill this gap but obviously in my actually bring services if you look for example to gaza to the gaza strip you know it's run school said the school has started it's unclear whether the schools can continue for the rest of the year. providing food assi

u.s. administration to move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and all across the board there have been condemnations of this latest. decision is a cruel and irresponsible move targeting the most vulnerable segment of the palestinian society and also puts a lot of pressure obviously on the palestinians because just a week ago the u.s. administration also announced that it will withhold over two hundred million u.s. dollars in development aid to the palestinian. let's now look at some of the other stories making news around the world brazil's former president lula da silva has been barred from standing for the presidency again by the country's top electoral court has been imprisoned for corruption and all but one of the court's judges voted against him being allowed to seek reelection. nicaragua's government has ordered a team from the u.n. commission for human rights to leave after the body published a report accusing nicaragua of violently repressing opposition protests the chief of the u.n. mission fernandes s

u.s. administrations might not have. well if you don't mind i mean i'd like to zoom out and broaden this even further i think the first thing to understand and appreciate is that foreign assistance whilst almost overwhelmingly ends up benefiting the people that deserve it and tends to be at least from the view of the taxpayer that's providing that funding is genuinely a benevolent act you know an act of compassion and humanity but the way in which foreign assistance and international aid is often programmed and the way it's directed and funneled is often informed by political objectives and there's nothing wrong with that the countries that provide aid to other countries are looking to achieve strategic and or tactical objectives so there's nothing wrong with the us choosing to use its money in whatever way deems necessary i think the question for a country like pakistan or any other country that is a net recipient of aid is whether or not that country knows what it wants and whether or not that country then can can chan

u.s. administration implemented measures known as the dot frank wall street reform and consumer protection act it was signed into law by former u.s. president barack obama in july two thousand and ten since may two thousand and eighteen many features of those regulations are scrapped. how much adversity can a bank withstand that's the question stress tests were designed to answer they were a key feature of the dodd frank act which was signed into law in two thousand and ten each year the federal reserve assesses how a banks can cope with unfavorable economic scenarios like a stock market crash or a long term recession. a financial institution that feels is required to increase its capital reserves. us president donald trump has long been a critic of dodd frank he maintains that the regulation goes too far these reforms are back in may he scrap some of the rules for small and medium lenders. the legislation i'm signing today rolls back to crippling dodd frank regulations that are crushing community banks and credit unions nationwide they were in such trouble one size fits all those rules ju

u.s. administration right now is it's almost like you going to finish my sentence for me

u.s. administration still talks about what they called the deal of the century but what is left for this administration to give to the palestinian people he went on to ask when they removed from the table jerusalem refugees and security what is left and he also called on trump to rescind his decisions and decrees regarding these three issues jerusalem refugees as well as the jewish settlements he also said that his parliamentary has already asked him to review the agreements with israel and has asked that the palestinians rescind recognition of the state of israel until it excepts a two state solution based on the nineteen sixty seven lines on hamas and possible reconciliation he had this to say we have concluded agreements with hamas either they implement them fully or we will distance ourselves from any agreements or measures that are concluded without our approval and will not bear any responsibility we'll have analysis on our bus a speech coming up right here on al-jazeera that's after we just listen to the european union's donald tusk is the president of the european council so we'll hear what he

u.s. administration. and the us administration has reneged on all these agreements however we are committed and we will abide by our part of the agreement however if the reneged on these agreements we will lot of by the by. when. it takes two to tangle so an agreement should be respected by both parties i would respected from a to z. however if the us administration fails it to respect the agreement we will not be able to hold our part thereof through. in the us. he acts as a mediator however now we view the u.s. with new eyes the u.s. cannot be a mediator single handedly we have the quartet ok they can join the quartet it. any country can join the quartet whether in europe e.u. america the americas africa even the arab countries anyone can join the quartet to act as mediators it between ourselves and the israel's but the us alone no because they are too much biased to israel. there are also agreements with israel starting with also agreement to paris agreement and all these agreements have been abrogated

u.s. administrations might not have. well if you don't mind i mean i'd like to zoom out and broaden this even further i think the first thing to understand and appreciate is that foreign assistance whilst almost overwhelmingly ends up benefiting the people that deserve it and tends to be at least from the view of the taxpayer that's providing that funding is genuinely a benevolent act you know an act of compassion and humanity but the way in which foreign assistance and international aid is often programmed and the way it's directed and funneled is often informed by political objectives and there's nothing wrong with that the countries that provide aid to other countries are looking to achieve strategic and or tactical objectives so there's nothing wrong with the us choosing to use its money in whatever way deems necessary i think the question for a country like pakistan or any other country that is a net recipient of aid is whether or not that country knows what it wants and whether or not that country then can can chan

u.s. administration has proclaimed the relevance of the moral doctrine in a newly planted over the imperial policy in the region is attacking venezuela with a special who was. in that threatening context we wish to retrieve our absolute report to the boulevard the revolution this evening with our union of the venezuelan people and the and the most by the government led by cautious those who are present because my little models will reject the intervention at times and sanctions i guess when this way they are aimed at suffocating heat economically and hurting venezuelan families we likewise reject the attempts at just about ice in the lake or on government. in a country of peace that has made a remarkable social economic and public safety progress in favor of its people we denounce the politically motivated imprisonment of former presidents enough to agree with us on a decision to prevent the people from voting on electing brazil's most popular leader to the presidency. we stand so low they will remain nations who limit legitimate preserve for the horrible effects of slavery as well as the.

u.s. administration it will morgan reports three to one. nasa is calling its most advanced basely their launch on saturday i said to i have time flies a light will are based on a billion dollar mission to find out how much of the earth's ice is melting as the climate of worms. i said it was all about measuring elevation and a natural question is how do you know you get the right answer or go out collect a reference data so i will be ready to compare and evaluate the green laser light from the satellite bounces off of this thing goes right back up to the satellite again super reflective so these things is to go up in data with temperatures like i saw two i said two is the first mission in nearly a decade that will be measuring ice levels its predecessor i set launched in two thousand and three operated for six years the new satellites will use an advanced laser and camera system known as atlas to measure how long it takes individual particles of light to leave the satellite bounce off earth and return these tests will be repeated four times

u.s. administration but it was quite clear very early in those stocks that the u.s. administration was not willing to grant any significant exemption from from its sanctions. at this spot for european companies it's not a real a real prospect shoot shoot your return to iran most of them announced very fast off the donald trump's announcement that they would with throw from iran so there is some interest in that kind of mccann is him. up also and countries like india yeah let's talk a lot about that imply want to talk more about the mechanism the different mechanisms that are being proposed is because a political signal might not be enough to keep iran. in the nuclear deal mr salami we don't have the details of what's being called the special purpose vehicle yet but whatever it is going to be. the bodies that are going to be involved will they have to be exempt from doing considerable business in the u.s. for this mechanism to be feasible. it is not difficult at all because iran's iraq oil exports can be paid for by the way you are all. of us avoiding the dollar or wha

u.s. administration is looking at what he had to say well clearly donald trump got an. enormous amounts of cash from extreme right wing supporters of israeli supremacy over the palestinians trouble knew what he had to do and he got pushed to very close to the right wing israeli figures like regimented netanyahu and they they started having this plan and president from people saying how much he loves israel and so on. this week though dole truck did see some of his advisors by explicitly talking about a two state solution for example which you haven't explicitly said before and there are all those who wonder whether even though he is surrounded by hawks on israel as with north korea as what some of the rumblings he has ever known about iran which were scripted advisors if if a deal does present himself his own ego would love to be the one who makes that deals with that's always the wild card when it comes to trump even evil when it comes to israel palestine even as he's surrounded by strong supporters of benjamin netanyahu as he is ok see have a town see thank you well t

u.s. administration says this is hindering economic growth and hopefully in another ten years we will not be discussing where we were when the this second financial crisis began christopher as always thank you christophe. it was the car that defined a generation and one of germany's most iconic brands but now the venerable v.w. beetles time is coming to an end wagon has announced it will finally halt production of the beetle in twenty nineteen bringing it into the car's seventy year history. a full wheeled legend it's the biggest selling car of its time with twenty two million units sold its thirty horsepower engine was the sound of germany's post-war economic boom. but it all started back in the one nine hundred thirty s. commissioned by the nazis ferdinand portia designed a cheap economical folks all people's car in one thousand thirty eight the first model was ready that many saw military service during the war but when the fighting finally stopped the v.w. beetle was back. the car sold rapidly around the world the beetle was an immediate hit in the u.s. even making it to hollywood and

u.s. administration introduced stricter banking regulations and as the dodd frank wall street reform and consumer protection act president donald trump has long been a critic of thought frank back in may he scrapped some of the small medium lenders but many of wall street one deep regulation to go even further. critics say a raising restrictions on banks could prompt the next financial crisis. it was the car that defined a generation and one of germany's most iconic brands but now the beatles' time is up for its wagon has announced it will hold all production of the con next year ending its seventy year history. a full wheeled legend it's the biggest selling car of its time with twenty two million units sold its thirty horsepower engine was the sound of germany's post-war economic boom. but it all started back in the one nine hundred thirty s. commissioned by the nazis ferdinand portia designed a cheap economical focus of people's car in one nine hundred thirty eight the first model was ready though it mainly saw military service during the war but when the fighting finally stopped the v.w. beetl

u.s. administration is ultimately sending mixed messages and the middle of last week we had the we had the stephen the nuke in the u.s. treasury secretary secretary trying to open up new talks with the chinese and that raised the expectation that the u.s. and china willing to sit down and soak. the now we've called the prospect that the u.s. president rather than waiting for those talks to start is getting ahead of the curve in implementing a ten percent tariff and that speaks to me inordinate amount of bad faith on the part of the u.s. presidency for to even sit down and talk he's already loading the gun with extra bullets do you think there's a division inside the administration. now i don't know i just think. mr trump ultimately was elected on the premise that he wanted to take the fight to china with respect to tariffs he wants to mitigate any sort of deal before the midterm elections and i think that is really out of the forefront of what his strategy is at the moment he doesn't want an agreement before those elections the big concern is that it doesn't leave an awful lot of time betw

u.s. administration introduced stricter banking regulations known as the dot frank wall street reform and consumer protection act president donald trump has long been a critic of frank back in may you scrap some of the rules for small and medium that many on wall street want the deregulation to go even further critics say racing restrictions on bags could prompt the next financial crisis. so let's go now to the heart of darkness were it all began in new york so if you month scale wall street correspondent is standing by sophie you talked to former lehman employees how do those people remember those bad old days. well after listening to former staff members it seems to me that at least. some people on the lower level of the hierarchy weren't really aware of how bad the situation was even days before the bank collapse one of the guys who handled the e.t.f. trading told me that two thousand and eight x. only had been kind of a good year for him for a rather long time afterwards people were still coming in to work although they couldn't really do anything as they were being told not to trade

u.s. administration's strategy becomes the more and more it seems to me that the u.s. wants to stay in syria to determine any kind of peace settlement i don't see how it could happen if the u.s. remains there and u.s. policy of the iran and i think it's pretty universally recognized that everyone is in in in ministration is a hoc when it comes to iran go ahead in beirut. where i believe that the united states policy is very much directed by what is called of this month is the united states as much as or anybody more than the president as such whoever the president is misled about obama when he became president or early on in his presidency and he made his own being a speech talking about cooperation with it up and muslim democracy i thought that i said that i and primarily emphasizing this point cooperation is about what did the administration of mr obama bring about. brought about the so-called arab spring actually support him at all. then muslim country it's good thing bombs that been muslim countries keep going going keep. this was succeeded by mr trump mr trump in

u.s. administration number two our issue is not with the american people not with the u.s. our issue is with trump and his team and therefore we will double our efforts to outreach in gauge the american people especially in light of what we see of transform ational change in the u.s. and the awareness of the american public about the palestinian rights violations of the state of israel as a nuclear buying power thirdly the panic in his and about the i.c.c. and the pressuring. of the situation to a good civilly attack the i.c.c. only indicate for us that we are on the right track and yes the i.c.c. is ineffective and it is up to the i.c.c. and international system to give the palestinians what they deserve it is our right and responsibility to use these international organs and we promise you we will use them thank you for taking the time to speak to us not as the head of the palestine liberation organization that occasion to the u.s. he was joining us from ramallah in the occupied west bank thank you for your time. by human rights watch has accused the chinese government of

u.s. administration changing point three two one. nasa is calling it its most advanced space laser launch on saturday i said to a half time satellite will are based on a billion dollar mission to find out how much of the earth's ice is melting as the climate warms i said it was all about measuring elevation and a natural question is how do you know you get the right answer or go out and collect a reference data so i will be ready to compare and evaluate the green laser light from the satellite bounces off of this thing goes right back up to the satellite again super reflective so this things is up in data with temperatures like i saw two i said two is the first mission in nearly a decade that will be measuring ice levels its predecessor i sat launched in two thousand and three operated for six years the new satellites will use an advanced laser and camera system known as atlas to measure how long it takes individual particles of light to leave the satellite bounce off earth and return these tests will be repeated four times a year pr

u.s. administration that seems to be. not beholden to the party ideology party platform and is actually willing to sort of you know perhaps even engage with north korea and to try to. break this long term stalemate you know this goes back several presidencies. the north koreans again have been trying to engage with the united states since one nine hundred seventy four you know i think what's interesting is you know we hear a lot about why the north koreans came to the table i think. they've long thought that they understood the parameters in which u.s. presidents operated and think they understand that with with president trump. they don't understand those parameters those parameters are you know. everything's everything is on the table including possibility of threats which i think really unnerved them. but it also provides opportunities for potentially moving forward and building a relationship really establishing that modus vivendi that they've been trying to do for several decades now how critical is the role of moon

u.s. administration has taken will force the piano back to the negotiating table there has been a lot of talk about donald trump's you know peace plan for the conflict are you expecting anything from this plan mr and can they given the steps that this administration has taken against the palestinians. no i don't i don't think it's you know i don't think it's a serious peace initiative anyone who. knows anything about negotiations or conflict resolution knows that you can't simply bully one party particularly the weaker party into accepting whatever terms are being dictated by the stronger party that is not a peace process that is essentially the terms of. surrender i mean it's simply. power politics and for imposing. you know reinforcing the status quo so i don't think there's any real. mystery as to what is in this alleged trump peace proposal he's already said that he's thinking through some off the table and they're trying to take the refugee issue off the table they have refused after almost two years in office to say that the goal will be a sovereign palestinian state. so if. there isn't

u.s. administration has taken will force the piano back to the negotiating table there has been a lot of talk about donald trump's you know peace plan for the conflict are you expecting anything from this plan mr and can they given the steps that this administration has.

u.s. administration saying the u.s. is empowering another terrorist organization let's boil all this down for you let's talk to my colleague zain buss ravi our correspondent in tehran zain what's your takeaway point from the last forty five minutes of those opening speeches there. well it's quite a thing to see these three men leaders of modern countries all born of ancient empires now meeting here into iran to send a very clear message to european countries as well as the united states that we do not need your help to resolve problems in this region in the comments made by president putin by rouhani they're making it very clear that they are looking forward they're throwing forward to shape syria's future and they can do it without the intervention of western powers but at the same time they made it very clear that rebuilding syria reconstruction rehabilitation medical and food aid getting refugees to return back to syria which is something that everybody would benefit from that has to be an international effort sort o

u.s. administration. there is talk of a restriction to exports of goods to the u.s. and components that are crucial for u.s. manufacturing industries. also, raw materials. there are possibilities that the chinese government has to put some pressure on the u.s. side. so far, that doesn't really seem to impress the u.s. government. what is interesting to see is if wall street traded a bit lower on monday. the pressure was really on chinese stocks backout traded here in new york on wall street and also the shanghai composite. it was propelled to the lowest point in four years. this is why u.s. markets are still very close to all-time highs. javier: thank you very much. tesla ceo, elon musk is embroiled in another scandal. he is being sued for defamation by this british driverer. he helped to rescue a group of boys and their coach from a cave in thailand. he labeled the efforts by elon musk to get them out with a summary as a pr stunt. elon musk called him a pedophile. he has repeatedly allegations and the man is seeking $75,000 compensation. stopping musk from doing so

u.s. going to europe to germany to spain even under the obama administration pressuring those countries disclose investigations that attempted to do what the u.s. government and the u.s. judicial system failed to do that is to hold the bush administration officials accountable for very serious crimes committed in the in the armed conflict in afghanistan and how have you all kinds missed in that quote being impacted by those and i just crimes in afghanistan and what will this case moving forward if it does mean for them. it's a very difficult for the i.c.c. to move forward when the governments are not cooperating is this is the message that the the white house and mr bolton is trying to make is that we are not going to let you investigate our conduct the u.s. obviously has failed to provide justice to our clients we're talking about people who were tortured by the cia people who were held and tortured by the u.s. military they were not tortured by individuals acting on their own they were acting on behalf of the u.s. government it was a policy of the united states at the highest level of the bush

u.s. administration has actively said that they want to even find a sponsor and in order to do this they need to stop for better or for worse so i think you know what's showing is that at the top of ministration is really serious about making foreign policy transactional and i think oksana will actually really need to reevaluate how much it depends on u.s. security military aid and whether or not it's in its interest to maintain such a dependent on a ship that it's good to talk to some how many thanks to its account there and only to the geneva. jordan is warning of dangerous consequences after the u.s. cut all funding to the u.n. agency for palestinian refugees provides health care education and food to millions of people israel's backed the decision which the palestinians say is an attack on their people are a force that reports from the occupied west bank. just this week in the face of its funding crisis on row was celebrating the start of the academic year at the reopening of its schools girls are arriving for class in the refugee camp in the occupied west bank welcomed by the agency's ch

u.s. administration under president trump that can no longer rely on the unquestioning support of old friends i think that trumps isolationism is making even staunch u.s. allies like france and the u.k. start to think about the need to work with china more the need to prepare. to work without the u.s. on a lot of issues and you see a gradual real drift apart amongst the western powers here a possibly unforeseen consequence of the trompe and decision to go it alone the rise of china as a prominent potentially dominant force within the united nations and beyond mike hanna al-jazeera united nations. still ahead on the. player fires a warning. on that. the latest on the ryder cup coming up in sport in a moment stay with us. time for sport here is joe thank you so much big footballing news on thursday germany have won the right to host year and twenty twenty for the country beat turkey in a vote held by the european games governing body you wait for his the moment it was announced by the way for president alexandre shafran the host of the euro to twenty four will be germany. we will do everything

u.s. administration that's leading and or strategy in dealing with iran so i think he should he will be talking about confronting iran and iran that's the third that presents to the world that. supporting terrorism and all of that so i think he will talk about the policy of an issue and the conflict he only the mere. statement that they have that he will keep any future security control of those bank in and if you try to negotiations and i think he will move on that shift the focus on iran to try to mobilize more support to prepare the international public opinion about possible confrontation with iran in the future and here's what trump said just a short time ago he said that he believes that the two state solution quote will work best and he also said that israel will have to do something good for the other side so do you think at all that the u.s. and the trumpet ministration will be pressing israel to make any sort of concessions when it comes to this deal of the century that trump is also saying will be unveiled in two to three months time this is according to reports it's very unlikely i

u.s. going to europe to germany to spain even under the obama administration pressuring those countries to sgt loz investigations that attempted to do what the u.s. government and the u.s. judicial system failed to do that is to hold the bush administration officials accountable for the very serious crimes committed in the in the armed conflict in afghanistan. delegations from russia iran meeting in geneva for a second day of talks on syria this as the u.n. says thousands of people have been displaced in the last rebel and play of the syrian government and russian as strikes continuing the population of it has swelled over the years of conflicts with the arrival of hundreds of thousands of people escaping battles in other parts of the country aid organizations warn any military campaign to retake the region a humanitarian crisis they would change or joins us now from geneva so david what are the diplomats actually discussing the.

u.s. administration strategy becomes the more and more it seems to me that the u.s. wants to stay in syria to determine any kind of peace settlement i don't see how it could happen if the u.s. remains there and you know u.s. policy viz of the iran and i think it's pretty universally recognized that everyone isn't in in ministration is a hawk when it comes to iran go ahead in beirut. who are left i believe that the united states foreign policy is very much directed by what what is called is established as a united states as much as or even more than the president as such whoever the president is for instance the said about obama when he came president he came to cairo early on in his presidency and he made it sound in his speech talking about cooperation with the arab and muslim world and democracy et cetera et cetera and primarily emphasizing peaceful cooperation but what did the administration of mr obama bring about it the bronx brought about the so-called arab spring or actually for that are not a bomb threat and then muslim country it was succeeded i think bomb s

u.s. administration calling them settlements it seems but now millions referring to them as as housing it is when you think back to the early days of the trump administration when trump himself indicated that he wanted benjamin netanyahu to cool it a bit on settlement construction it shows just how far we've come under this administration and the reason that the palestinians are so vehement in their refusal to work with the trump administration thank you harry harry fossett live in ramallah in the occupied west bank the rest of the day's news is still ahead including an attack on libya's national oil headquarters puts pressure on efforts to end the fighting in tripoli last noirs for brazil's jailed former president lula give another hint about his plans for next month's elections and in sport naomi osaka shows off the u.s. open trophy on top of the rock of the rock in new york. more than one child will die every minute from hunger in war zones that startling conclusion is at the heart of a new report by the charity save the children of hope warns that salvation is now frequently used as a

u.s. administration from john bolton as we heard in his remarks any reaction from the i.c.c. so far. well like you mentioned hard harsh language she was not diplomatic but we did get reaction from the international criminal court before her before that speech excerpts of that speech were released by the media so we contacted officials in the international criminal court and they were very diplomatic they chose their words but at the same time in one way or another they dismissed really the importance of what john bolton was saying let me just read to you what they told us we are aware that bolton is to deliver a speech and talk about the international criminal court but the court believes that it benefits from the membership of one hundred twenty three parties representing all regions of the world in one way or another really defending its credibility defending its legitimacy even though the united states is not a member of the i.c.c. and in their statement they also talk about their commitment to quote independent and impartial exercise of our mandate saying that they're not going t

u.s. administration introduced stricter banking -- banking regulations known as dr. frank. -- dr. frank. president trump has been a critic. critics say erasing restrictions on banks could prompt the next financial crisis. let's go now to the heart of darkness read all began in new york area. you talked to former lehman employees. how do they remember those bad days? >> after listening to some of the former staff members, it seems to me that some people on the lower levels of the hierarchy were not aware of how bad the situation was even days before the bank collapsed. one of them told me that 2008 had been a good year for him. for a long time afterwards, people were so coming in to work although they cannot do anything area they were being told not to trade anything and many employees decided to let before everything really went downhill. surely a bank is because that doesn't vanish. is anything left? >> there were two separate bankruptcies. the first is lehman's holding company. the second was what remained of the broker-dealers. 10 years later, both the holding company and the broker-d

u.s. administration for many years most of korea was in medieval and this country and. the leaders of this country and the country itself and their people to country it was mentioned as the world's hugest problem and the evil was the world which was used to describe the country and now yeah and now i think the you heard mr. thing several times korea so what happened to the city and i was not north korea has changed nothing like that happen but united states change their position then their policy toward north korea probably the they can use a similar approach to iran and the things will go better yeah who knows what kind of twists and turns another year will bring about. in new york but we asked a former u.s. diplomat jim truss what he thought about the russian foreign minister's remarks but he noticed. mr lover of tends to be very diplomatic very polite to. gentlemanly in his expression but i did notice a certain level of impatience today that he i think his patience has been tried one time too many yes we are talking about whether or not we will we will continue down

u.s. administration cut off a lot of military funding for pakistan and said it would be looking for concrete steps that pakistan would take to decrease the columbines freedom of movement in pakistan and particularly to rein in the activities of the haqqani network unfortunately in the nine months since then there's been absolutely no sign that the pakistanis have done anything to rein in the pac that columbine on its soil and in fact the attack on gaza was headquartered out of pakistan conny network played a big role in mobilizing those forces and so i think you really see almost a direct response columbine with pakistani acquiescence in support attack in gaza city and the u.s. is upping the pressure on pakistan militarily through this age restriction in any kind of warfare especially insurgent warfare if you lead up to peace talks there you go on if go on an offensive so that's i would see that as jockeying for position to try and strengthen the taleban sort of role in any peace talks that you take place now we only have one. so far unannounced but very public actually in the way it's been

u.s. administration of trying to go in for a regime change in tehran regulars see this all going if. if the sanctions will be implemented they will be very very harsh on iran and the results were not to be positive once neither for the iranian population who would suffer the most nor for the stability of the region because we know if iran will be further destabilized it will affect the entire order order in the middle east but you know let's also be ready for the interim to come let's have a look at that little scene from yesterday when you know donald trump talked about his achievements and there was some amount of laughter in the u.n. general assembly let's take a look. in less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country. america's so true. i didn't expect a reaction but that's ok. i think many people would have been surprised at the u.n. general assembly that he's stuck so to message he was obviously had a speech which is well crafted well written and he read it without trying any off the cuff remarks without

u.s. administrations before that have threatened to close down the mission now that it's happened how was the news perceived. you're right that this is not the first time i mean the issue of the low presence here has never been normalized the u.s. has allowed presence diplomatic presence way back it used to be under the auspices of the league of arab states then it became independent under you know palestinian entity however it was never recognized fully as a diplomatic entity and continued to be blackmailed recently definitely it hasn't been a surprise considering the calls and lobbying within congress to try to use it as another leverage point to blackmail the palestinians taken on its own frankly it's just a symbolic gesture with a very limited political significance however when you fit it in with the events of the past nine months and the steps undertaken by the administration starting with jerusalem earlier in the year or late last year the refugee issue the hospitals inability to deal with the issue of two states or recognize that two state solution when you fitted together with al

u.s. administration.in the process of restructuring and economic dialogue including managing diversity. this is a good and positive sign. anna: may i talk to you about another point of tension. we have seen the u.s. government taking a hard stream on -- a hard line on north stream. will this remain a point of contention? .eter: 2% burden sharing and the pipeline project. prominently debated transatlantic issues right now. apart from the trade issues. the north stream flight is really a concern. the government of germany has always stated it was a private project. with a huge geopolitical dimension. i don't see that this will go away. on the contrary, yesterday i was informed that we will see either before the midterm elections in early november in the united states of america or shortly thereafter at the beginning of next year, we will see much stricter guidelines and even stricter sanctions. this is of big concern to manufacturers of this pipeline project in germany, austria, and other countries includin

u.s. administration's policy to work with palestinians, especially washington's relocation to its embassyo jerusalem last may, but macron has been urging palestinian leaders in recent months to wait until the unveiling of president trump's peace plan, rather than just reject it. joining me now is our correspondent in jerusalem. abbas hoping to get out of this meeting? things. first, validation and support. his relationship with washington is at a crisis point, the lowest point in years. following on from that, he is also looking for money. in addition to the large diplomatic questions in the piece crisis and other maneuverings for that, cold hard cash is something that is being considered because washington has cut off funding to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars to the palestinian largeity, some in quantities and some just in even for peace groups with israel. that money is gone. what mahmoud abbas is looking for is some kind of support to millionthat some $360 for the united nations group that deals with refugees. plus the other money they need to keep running the palestinian

u.s. economist and advisor to multiple presidential candidates including the current us administration good to have you with us so please tell me how healthy is the u.s. banking system ten years on from the crisis well the u.s. banking system is much healthier as is the u.s. economy the next threat is going to come from a very different quarter and it's going to if it's a very different nature than what struck the world in two thousand and eight it has to do with publicly held debt both in the united states and europe and that is the next mid-term threat to the world economy and the results could be every bit as catastrophic and perhaps even more so than what happened in two thousand and eight well it's it's good that you mention that because the global date has the deed ballooned over the past decade largely of course thanks to low interest rates old measures that central banks around the world took following the last crisis u.s. debt stood at more than twenty one trillion dollars this summer which is a record when is the next bubble going to best. well it's hard to tell but let's that's h

u.s. administration would certain arab countries then feel that they have an umbilical cord that could in theory pull the u.s. military into very live conflicts so you could see a situation where external players say in the three and a half year ugly ugly war in yemen they might then bring to bear an expectation that the u.s. should have military people on the ground engaging in the conflict and them to think so when it comes to the issue of iran i think this administration. according to what i know is more focused on. putting more pressure on iran the issue the issue of. you know to change was will there's been. discussed in the past and i think this administration. may be. acting as they are moving towards a gym change especially in the membrane that. john bolton is very close to the president but there are there are two main things we have to keep in mind in this context the first one is that as i mentioned the united states now is actually playing solo against iran not as it used to be and i think that that will push that'll put more pressure on the administration to think or to come d
