to the united nations security council to move for any prosecution of the senior saudi officials including crown prince mohammed bin for men and this explains why the u.n. is trying. now to work out the details of how to move forward now. as you know secretary of state by computer was reported to have said a few days ago when he was in saudi arabia. there were reports that he didn't raise the issues about how she'll see a tool with the kit with some men bin abdulaziz and with the congress it could be of an indications an indication that the americans are not willing at this particular moment when they are trying to rally regional support against iran to keep both down on that particular. issue but the but the united nations special rapporteur. is pointing to what she considers to be. issues to be solved when it comes to saudi arabia proceedings 1st of all she says those proceedings don't comply with international standards she said that there are 15 suspects who are now detained in saudi arabia facing charges but that certainly the finding for example top aide to comprehend. what had been

political because and then the day he does answer to a by the called the united nations not over the united nations security council and in the security council the 5 permanent members i don't think have that much of a tie to pursue saudi arabia in fact the trump administration has been quite appeasing and if you remember from the last g. 20 summit in one cyrus there was a lot of back slapping and high 5 between putin she and him had been saddam and also the french and the british have been even putting pressure on germany to stop its embargo of of selling arms saudi arabia's all in oil so uribe it doesn't have many friends but doesn't have enemies among the the 5 permanent members so if there isn't a kind of international appetite to push this any further as you suggest what's the effect of that report like this is that doesn't is there any effect from it i think mainly at this point in time it's the court of public opinion i think if that is the media pressure and certainly if you look for example it's. been so money if he's going to go to the g. $20.00 in japan it's going to be even worse for him than it was in

well the syrian government's ally russia has blocked the united nations security council from issuing a statement on attacks in province the member states were expected to sound the alarm over the possibility of a humanitarian disaster because of attacks by the army on rebel controlled areas government forces launched an offensive to recapture it live in april the provinces the last area preventing president bashar al assad from claiming final victory after 8 years of war while thousands of internally displaced people are actually camp in northern syria and have been threatened with eviction sin and cos the early reports from the province. this is one of the many camps that the syrian internally displaced people could find refuge after the syrian regime intensified its bombardments in the forest problems mainly in the southern cities and towns there are nearly 1500 civilians residing in this camp and that most of them to this camp in the month of ramadan when richelle rosado and his allies began airstrikes and the civilians here are taking refuge under these all the trees and the they

that's what he wants asian countries and european countries in particular today at the united nations security council. of germany france and great britain held a joint statement together and they are trying to reiterate here their support for the nuclear deal they want to save the nuclear deal because they essentially believe that this is the only way to control iran say activities with regards to nuclear energy and potentially a nuclear bomb so it will be difficult and a big challenge for the secretary of state. to form a coalition including all of these mentioned countries and in the different regions coalitions multi-lateralism these are all things that we know does not really think much of and we've got the g. 20 summit beginning later this week i wonder with these new sanctions and with this policy on iran has trumped again succeeded in isolating america from its traditional. well it depends who are looking at 2 with regards to the european partners definitely they're on very different positions there have contradicting views with regards to iran with regards to the nuclear deal which of course

we have had the iranian foreign minister saying they will be providing evidence to the united nations security councilwing this drone crossed into iran's territory. possible.at is the point of the aircraft is to gather as much information as possible and although it has long-range sensors, it is useful if it can be closer to the target if possible. the maps of the u.s. and iranian accounts are extraordinarily similar. the iranian one shows a slightly furthermore -- further north movement. it would not have to be many miles or not that many minutes of flying time before it was over iranian airspace. there is nothing conclusive at this stage that would lead me to tell an opinion on that. trump in hunt, donald a bid to perhaps de-escalate saying the drone was shot accidentally. thisikely is that or is precedence of this happening by mistake? edward: very sadly, the report the dutch released recently is probably a prime example of this. in this case, i suspect the iranians were aware of what it was. these aircraft fly fairly high on predictable trajectories. i would suspect they saw this as an opportunity

president today iran in turn has already responded there is a there was a security council meeting at the united nations today of the iranian ambassador said that as long as the sanctions are in place they refuse to negotiate together with the united states do we knew. did the u.s. consult with any of it particularly here in europe about these new sanctions. well the speaker of the house nancy pelosi called on trump and on the u.s. administration to not act unilaterally at a briefing at the white house situation room together with other congressional leaders last week. secretary of the treasury minutiae said he did not. 2 talk to any office allies with regards to these sanctions in particular and that's what we've been getting from the trump administration typically in recent times that they are rather acting unilaterally and it would have also been difficult to find common ground especially with the european partners on this matter as we know the u.s. secretary of state from peo he was in the persian gulf today use trying to drum up what he's calling a global coalition against the islamic republic of i

territorial waters so at this point all eyes on the international community and on the united nations security council in the hopes that things can be resolved i think i would say thanks be to god that he did it and they would have had far more than 150 people killed and although all his advisors pump aoa gina asphalt the torturer in chief bolton they're all constantly calling for the u.s. to attack iran he didn't do it so i would say that's a very good son maybe he's harking back to his campaign promises of peace and nonintervention so let's hope the president acts like a man of peace that's what he needs a fact to be reelected i think probably the argument that if we went to war against iran he would end his presidency and he would not be reelected so i think that maybe had a fact on him it certainly should have had an effect we need to have the man who ran for office not the guy who surrounded himself with neo cons and warmongers. they didn't rainier national security official carney told us the country is ready to repel any u.s. strike or have rules. you can find our troops statements always diffe

launch the investigation they should be coming from a country like turkey or come from the united nations security council there's a political element to this story also peter which is the concern that key players like the u.s. could be using its leverage to further stop any investigation let me just update you on the latest of this particular inquiry we're getting now the reaction from the saudi government the the saudi representative here in geneva that as easily was that the united nations human rights council slammed the report as baseless full of inaccuracies and describing the united nations special report this us trying with her findings to discredit the kingdom of saudi arabia and saudi should just system so as you can see this reaction from the saudi government just going to give us further indication about how the situation is going to move forward you have the saudis completely in denial that they are not willing to prosecute those who would in fault or suspects that were arrest by the saudi government on the other hand you have this calabar saying that only a criminal investigation an independ

they violate the deal if they don't comply with the deal then automatically you'll have united nations security council sanctioned sanctions and where the russians where the chinese in this game now all the focus is on the attention is on the europeans the europeans could convince the iranians to respect the deal and we've seen also recently that even in washington the tone has come down of it and i think that is a positive sign which you could tell you the things i guess the the chances of the deal surviving. i don't like this is of that's a really story i think there is that there is a good chance that the deal will survive evolve sides. keep the coltan but then again like as always we appreciate your insights and your forecast thank you thanks . well iran has been under sanctions for years there were international sanctions before the 2015 nuclear deal and now there are u.s. sanctions the economy is suffering and the effects are being increasingly felt by the people of iran. a wealthy area in northern tehran it's known for its chic betakes and modern fashion but even here the stores aren't doing wel

international community have to realize they have supported have started with weapons against the united nations security council resolutions and nobody spoke about it there's an arms embargo no will there is a lot is about of all weapons and everybody knows even in india briefings of the united nations envoy that there are arms coming from those 3 countries or at least up with abby and egypt to. mr have to or he may well though have another even more important supporter general have to have a phone call with president trump we know there are some around president trump who may be persuading president trump that what the libyan needs is another strongman and that is general have. i think that it was against the policy of the american administration. you know those who know washington very well they know that their lobbying groups could make such moves and i think the lobbying groups which are paid by the government and by the way i always speak about abu dhabi government the emirates because they are the spearheading of our own of these efforts the rest of the emirates are not part of it they are also supported

protesters that statement followed a closed door un security council meeting on the worsening situation diplomatic editor james bays has more from the united nations. the security council was briefed behind closed doors on the latest developments in khartoum by the secretary general special adviser almost situation in sudan nicholas hastened i'm very concerned about the situation in khartoum and i think that represents a position of the international community i don't want to engage to mention a discussion as to who should do what because we're still hoping to play a role in bringing the parties together we haven't given up hope that a solution is still possible you can just. as soon as i can mr hasten told reporters he'd like to see a common international position on the situation in the sudan but the security council couldn't come up with that they couldn't come up with a statement on the killing of protesters by the military i'm told but china adamantly refused the draft statement saying it was an internal matter they were backed in that by russia and kuwait said the draft needed amendments so instead the ambassadors from the european countries

one thing iran saying another thing all eyes on the international community and on the united nations security council in the hopes that things can be resolved. political science professor at the university of tehran downstream intended to attack. i think the fact that the uranium is we're able to shoot down one of the most advanced aircraft out of the us air force has been very humiliating for the image of the u.s. military as well as for donald trump himself who likes to project an image of a strong arm leader and i think donald trump is trying to rebuild that image essentially by saying that you know we get hit the uranium very hard but we decided not to do so because of so-called humanitarian reasons in reality i think that prompted ministration understand that any such strikes would be actually responded by the rain as well in this would lead essentially into war. from the fact that this strong whether it was shot down over international waters or iranian waters regardless of that we have to remember that this was a spy or a surveillance drone and i'm pretty sure it wasn't taking pictures of the
