u.s. administration. well that really depends on who comes into this position next there is very very. there's not very clear lines from this u.s. administration when it comes to their foreign policy but when the secretary of state mark pump ale made the announcement on tuesday evening about the new sanctions he reiterated their administrative position that they will maintain this maximum pressure campaign on iran because they believe that crippling the country's economy will force the iranian officials to the negotiating table the main point here is that the americans want to renegotiate this nuclear agreement to include iran's ballistic missile program but that's something the iranians have said will never happen because that's part of the country's defense program and very different from the country's nuclear program so this maximum pressure campaign regardless of who the next next national security advisor will be is unlikely to change and that is why the iranians have said they will not have any kind of dialogue with the ministration all right dosage of our life for us there in te

u.s. administration thought that was the way to go in the 21st century mr putin said that he believes the world will have plenty of reasons to worry about after all a potential new arms race is a very big deal which wasn't the reason it was a serious challenges facing humanity imagine if the some weapon maybe a nuclear weapon in a little bit over our heads. this could drastically change the security situation across the globe as for my own american partners keep silent when we suggest continuing to negotiate the summons there's nothing new in that. another key message from the russian president was that moscow will keep up with all the missile r. and d. that the west will get itself involved in but when it comes to the deployment that won't happen on the part of russia when it comes to the weapons previously thought by the i.n.f. treaty until america starts taking the boxes on their deployment plans no matter how difficult and serious this issue is though vladimir putin decided it's worth adding a bit of humor and jokingly suggested that america should waste money if it can buy some of th

u.s. effort at coercion was the george w. bush administration. this got nowhere and was quite harmful to the u.s. hundreds of u.s. personnel killed with iranian fingerprints not stopping the iranian nuclear program, so coercion also has not worked in the past. this brings us to containment. also has not worked well toward iran, although maybe better than engagement or coercion. iran has expanded its presence over the years in places like lebanon, iraq, syria, yemen to some extent, elsewhere, among the palestinians, but on the other hand, iran is pretty isolated in the middle east. the only government that is very friendly with iran is syria, and that is just a shadow of a government. iran has a few friends here and isre like hezbollah, but it really very isolated. so containment has had some successes and there have been small, specific transactional agreements reached in various containment initiatives that we have seen, most importantly the jcpoa of 2015. so i think containment is the only thing we can hope for for the foreseeable future. i don'

u.s. president donald trump has become the latest member of the administration to be shown the door. the news announced in a tweet by trump, the president saying that he disagreed with many of bolton's foreign-policy suggestions. iran won't make tehran reconsider talks with the u.s. >> as always, the announcement came in a tweet. he says he asked john bolton to resigngn because his services we no longer needed at the white house. bolton stressed he offered his resignation monday night. and trump suggested for the talks. wase white house said there nonot one single issue that ledo the decision. >> any sitting president has the right to put someone in a position that can carry out his agenda. >> bolton was the u.s. prpresident's pic after mcmaste. foreign-polyy h had itit demonstrarated many times. cracks this is until it abandons its nuclear weapon. they must abandon across the middle east including conducting anand supporting terrorism aroud the world. >> they call for regime change in the summit. a key architect of the 2003 iraq --, this is agagainst since the's 18 years terrorist a

u.s. administration has been in the opinion for days now that it's iran behind this attack carried out on a saudi arabian oil refinery they provided their evidence now there's evidence provided by saudi arabia in addition to that so they believe it's very clear in the overall assumption has always been that the weapons used a mix of drones and cruise missiles are simply too sophisticated for the who 3 rebels who claim to be responsible in the 1st place and continue to do so so what's going to happen from now well the position of washington won't change in the overall goal has always been to get iran back to the negotiating table to renegotiate the nuclear deal from which the united states withdrew they believe that iran is still working on a nuclear bomb but at the same time with these sanctions raised again today it's very unlikely that we are getting closer to a diplomatic solution as the iranian president rouhani stressed several times that with sanctions in place they are not available for any negotiations and secretary of state might compare. today what's expected to come out it's ab

u.s. administration has not come to a conclusion of who has been been behind those attacks so i think we have to we have still some room and we can see what you know several investigations would find out but what is sure is that you know not the interesting aspect or dimension of the stories around coal and iran because bits to sell 5 percent of its share those that come to owns the exactly iran co is the saudi oil company that is the largest in the world and because of mohamed been saw the crown prince's strategy of diversifying the saudi economy they have been proposing to sell 5 percent 5 percent of aramco and so this is a huge blow to iran co's bid to to sell those you know shares because it's going to reduce their price because of geopolitical volatility it's frustrating if a little confusing but i think you've status through it it nicely alley for sell in the jet from the brookings institute thank you thank you. president's rhetoric has welcomed his russian and iranian counterparts in ankara for a summit on the syrian regime's push on the final rebel play it live not to be uprooted and

u.s. administration capable of imposing capital controls on u.s. investors, such as the large u.s.urance companies or pension funds? and hedge funds and private equity firms, from investing in china? and i think that's a much more difficult question. i think the u.s. administration would really struggle to impose capital controls on investing in china. matt: on the other hand, china says it will continue to open its markets, bob. evidence -- its certainly they're doing it. the question is, what's the pace? bob: the pace has accelerated. you're seeing that in the fixed income markets. the chinese bought markets, it's now part of the bloomberg's aggregate bond index. jp morgan announced recently the chinese government bond market would be part of the jp morgan emerging markets government bond indices, plus we've had restrictions on qualified foreign investors. their quota system, essentially that has been unwind. there it -- unwound. there is much more access into fixed income markets. you see quite of flow of capital into the chinese government bond market, where 10-year yields are

u.s. administration leaving us with some mixed signals about next steps well the u.s. president has early in the week vacillated between very strong language in terms of locked and loaded is one possible option he has also left open room for diplomacy can really help it thank you very much indeed for that update there thank you. can it is prime minister has apologized again for dressing up in brown face and black face admitting it was racist in a news conference a short time ago just introduce said he didn't recognize it at the time because of what he called his now as of privilege 3 photos of a measure of the prime minister painted in black face and brown face the brown face versions were taken in 2001 when trudeau worked as a teacher in british columbia at a school dinner that was arabian nights fiend. it is something absolutely unacceptable to do and i appreciate calling it makeup but it was blackface and that is just not right it is something that. people who live with the kind of discrimination. that far too many people do because of the color of their skin or the

u.s. administration to remove sudan from the list of states sponsoring terrorism. ladies and gentleman the combination of terrorism and violent extremism has become a major threat to the entire world the eradication of terrorism requires a comprehensive approach that includes that killing its political economic and social roots along with the security and military action. we reiterate our condemnation of all the forms of terrorism and our support for combating it in this regard many countries have begun to realize the mistake of linking their resume to a particular religion after they were subjected their terrorist operations with the racist and ideological motives there is a political and the moral need to go beyond confining terrorism to individuals and groups and to also deal with state crimes against unarmed civilians as state terrorism. what is happening in syria palestine and libya. is known to all of us it is also necessary to distinguish between terrorism and resisting occupation while the state of qatar will continue to actively participate in the internat

u.s. administrations have had. stranger tenuous relationships with united nations before but this is something on a whole nother level this is the latest sort of maneuvering in a pattern of behavior to undermine the united nations but i think the broader theme people need to look at here is that this administration the trumpet ministration is actively trying to undermine and dismantle multilateral institutions wherever they can find them so they're in in a sense from a wider geo political view you could say that they're trying very hard to dismantle the post world war 2 liberal internationalist led world order that was led by the united states and in effect trying to transition into something else right now and part of that is by taking a wrecking ball to the united nations and for the host country to do this this is extremely bad. because the united states is hosting the united nations so that calls so much into question at that point so this is just beyond diplomatic games and chess is something else. patrick is

u.s. administration the constantly comes up with like you stations i mean just a few months ago might compel openly said him solved at a cia director they constantly cheated and lied so i think they are trying to lead a matter called maximum pressure campaign against iran and they have been doing this for over a year and now now the problem with this campaign is that there is always a chance of very severe military escalation and i don't think that would be beneficial for either party ok we'll leave it there thank you for coming on to the program her madness of a professor of political science at the university of toronto great to have on the program. now as well in the u.s. are simmering the can to cement their longstanding friendship further with donald trump announcing the 2 nations opposing the way for a new significant 30 i had a call today with prime minister netanyahu to discuss the possibility of moving forward with a mutual defense treaty between the united states and israel that would further anchor the tremendous alliance between our 2 countries. it comes just days before parliame

u.s. administration p.l.o. executive committee member at hand i should always said that this is a game changer this is a serious threat to peace and security and she said it shows the intention the long term intention by the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu for ethnic cleansing other palestinian officials have called in the international community to intervene saying it's up to the world to defend its rules meanwhile israel has launched a series of airstrikes on gaza the israeli army says 15 targets were hit so the strikes were in response to rockets launched from gaza on tuesday there were no reports of casualties the u.s. is carried out a bombing raid against deisel fighters in iraq salahuddin province. american military planes dropped $36.00 tons of bombs on an island in the tigris river the iraqi military says the attack was part of a larger campaign to clear areas north of baghdad of remaining ice or fighters to pan says it may release radioactive water from its focus sheba nuclear power plants in

u.s. administration's toughest puzzle. let's jealousy print this and go live to our of affairs writer abdel bari atwan and friend of the program the yemeni who say the attacks are threatening more but the u.s. secretary of state insists it's tehran's work the coalition also say quote weapons came from iran where's this heading. well i believe it is heading toward a confrontation i hate that saudi the nerve center of the oil production with 10 brunes i think this is the biggest as attack of its kind it is the 3rd attack on the saudi oil installation and that bit of the so there you get so the president said. iran is responsible that certainly i did talk to the who's the yemeni spokesman and he told me that it was 100 percent attack carried out by their own drones which were manufactured and yemen itself so it seems you know that britain planned by f. using it on or being behind this attack he's preparing background maybe for a military intervention from his administration we don't know yet but i believe this will escalate th

u.s. administration is working on but that peace is not part of it and the palestinians are not part of it then that's why the palestinians have taken the very logical approach in forming the international community that so long as this administration does not recognize trellis to me and writes international law there's really not much to talk about if the palestinians are going to simply boycott mr green blood boycott mr trump boycott the saudis boycott anything before they even seen the play and then there's no opportunity for a gauge of it this is the time for engagement not for boycotts and when you start to boycott the arab world and the united states you're going down a very slippery slide going to be arab or miss. no but is well i caught tell the audience have would palestine his is an integral part of the arab world mr green blatt is someone who has is not only committed ideologically to the settler movement he is a contributor to the entrancement of the supplements regime which is illegal under international law in the heart of the occupied west bank so there was never a moment wh

u.s. administration going forward well like everybody like senior french officials recently said really nobody matters in u.s. foreign policy right now very much except trump himself and so the negotiations have to be directly with trump and everyone's trying to get to trump to sort of be the last one in his ear to see if they can move him in the right direction so a lot of the focus will be around new york and whether something could be accomplished directly with with trump in new york but again i don't think trump really knows what he wants other than a deal but i don't think he knows what the elements of the deal would be and i don't think anyone including pompei including mcmaster including the think tanks that push on iran policy really have anything to offer other than some version of the j c p o way which is a nonstarter for the republican party so again the parameters of the deal are very clear nuclear concessions for sanctions relief but i don't think either side really knows how how to go about getting that result women aren't going to get your thoughts thank you very much for talkin

u.s. administration is the so-called iran's nuclear deal well judging by what the japanese prime minister said at the plant a recession donald trump and shinzo abhi aren't on the same page in this regard despite them being allies. we have long told the us we have our opinion concerning iran and the nuclear deal i wish it would be resolved through negotiations i talked to the supreme leader and he said that iran isn't going to produce or use nuclear weapons he said it very clearly believe it or not before shaking hands and vladivostok mr putin and mr abbay met $26.00 times before and the japanese leader was keen to point that out once again after all they don't call each other great friends for nothing and he even entertain the audience with his knowledge of a russian prover that suggests that. you have to eat a lot of salt together to become real friends. the audience here might not know that the summit meeting we've just had was our 27th meeting ladies and gentleman it's important for you to know that president putin and i have had so many meals together time and time again that one migh
