u.s. president who rendered this sacred u.n. arena tainted. since trump uttered such reckless and violent words, provoking the supreme dignity of the democratic people's republic of korea on this very platform, it is fair enough for me to make a response in the corresponding tone. during his eight months in power, he has turned the white house into a noisy marketing now, he hasf -- tried to turn the u.n. arena into a gangster's nest where bloodshed is the order of the day. trump is a mentally deranged , a person who is chastised even by the american people as the commander in grief, lying king, holding the seat of u.s. president and the dangerous reality that -- using against a land that holds the nuclear button. these constitute the greatest threat to international peace and security today. his lacking of basic common knowledge and proper sentiment, he tried to insult the supreme dignity of my it as aby referring to rocket. he committed an error possible rocket'sf making our visit to the

the u.s. walking out of the jcpoa, that's not something they would welcome? they're content with the poor state of relations as they exist now? >> well, i don't -- that's not the right way to put it. but i think their concerns would not be primarily addressed in any constructive way from their point of view, as i understand it, by a walking away from a jcpoa which is being properly implemented. from their point of view, that would be a net negative because what it would mean is that a restriction on iran would be lost. leverage on iran would be surrendered, and iranian hardliners will have pocketed this reality. they will have done away with the international sanctions regime under obama and had their, you know, had their obligations under the jcpoa removed under trump, all for nothing. all gaining the arab states nothing at all. and in fact, removing their leverage. this, to them, i think, does not seem like in the negative. now, just a little caveat. if you were to broaden the aperture and s

the u.s. military is down two ballistic missile defense ships that can shoot down korean ballistic missiles. in terms of any kinds of military response, it's too early to tell. robert: how soon might we get those tests to make the determination in the past what has been -- is it something we'll know in a matter of hours? how likely will we get the confirmation it's the 6th nuclear test? >> the united states can get reconnaissance aircraft into the region pretty quickly. any kind of nuclear matter or raid logical matter will in the air for a long time, for days. so i expect the test to happen any time in the next few days. robert: what's the sense you are getting from the pentagon and your sources in terms of sanctions and the likelihood of success in deterring aggression from north korea. what have you been hearing in terms of that in recent days and weeks? >> the next step -- just a few weeks ago the intelligence agency came out with a new report saying north korea did have the ability to min

u.s. bombers. refugees are moved from an australian run prison camp to the u.s. controversial resettlement plan. and the push to get rid of the plants that produce cocaine in colombia. remain suspicious. three members of the israeli security forces have been killed and one injured in a shooting in israeli settlement in the occupied west bank the palestinian gunman was shot dead israeli a media say that he opened fire after arriving with palestinian laborers at the settlement of. jerusalem let's take you live now to that settlement in the occupied west bank al-jazeera is harry force that is there what more can you tell us about this incident. just moved inside the area of the settlement itself the security gate which you can see behind me where the attack took place a little before seven a.m. local time so about five hours ago the attacker was with a group of palestinian day laborers who regularly come here here indeed we hear from residents here was a familiar face someone that people insi

maarten, and what the u.s. is doing when it comes to u.s. virgin islands, where britain is doing when it comes to the british virgin islands? honest, when i first 30 getting information about the caribbean being hit by irma, it was via the attention france was giving to its caribbean spaces and the attention that the british were giving to the caribbean holdings in the region as well. it was impossible to find information about the u.s. virgin islands. the president of france is already on the ground in the caribbean right now. surveying the damage with his own eyes. a lot of this attention was happening before irma even hit. it is true since irma hit the virgin islands and eventually the florida keys and florida, by the time it hit the continent, it was downgraded to a category 4, or it hit the virgin islands as a category 5. many experts are saying is the worst hurricane to ever hit the region. now we are beginning to get attention and there have been great articles, what in the nation, and many others that are bringing attention to the vi

the u.s.'s role. richard mcgregor wrote a book reckoning," we are pleased to have him back. the two seo. richard: thank you for having me back. jeff: good to have you. how do you define it today, and is it over? americana in east asia is really america as both the dominant power in east asia since the second world war and also the sort of policymaking power in asia since the second world war. i begin you an example. it is remarkable that 70 years still has troops in south korea, still has troops in japan,. it has troops in australia. that is pax americana, and interwoven set of security guarantees that the u.s. provides for east asia and has provided for 70 years. i guess linked up with the economic system that the u.s. has a build a since the second world or and built along with europe, basically built around open markets and roles, rules of the road for trade, security, for the high seas, and the like. years removed from world war i, this all comes back to world war ii, doesn't it? richard:

the u.s. became more involved in the negotiations, but the european role has remained crucial. and now, with the jcpoa increasingly challenged as the ambassador said from washington, rather than iran, it may be up to the europeans again to save the deal, and if possible, build on it. so we are delighted that we have today with us four extraordinary diplomats, many of whom have a lot of personal experience dealing with this issue. i'm going to introduce them in alphabetical order. i see jenna has appeared. the ambassador of france to the united states, a career diplomat. he has graced us with his presence in washington for three years now. he previously held numerous positions within the ministry of foreign affairs, among them ambassador to israel, france's permanent represent to the u.n., and the french negotiator on the iranian nuclear issue from 2006 to 2009. sir kim derrick presented his credentials in january 2016, just after the jcpoa went into full implementation. and his career spans th

and u.s.-japan trade wars which really went on from the '50s, about three, four decades, really culminatedded in action by the u.s. against japan on semiconductors. and its-- once japan sort of faded as an economic threat, we kind of forgot about what an intense period that was. but in fact it is precisely what is happening with china now, but with one very important difference. the u.s. was always a security ally of the u.s.-- sorry, japan was always a security ally of the u.s., hence that sort of helped mediate the trade differences. china is a deadly geo political rival of the u.s. and that is going to make the trade issues much harder to handle, i think. >> glor: you forget about the threats, i think a lot of people forget about the threat that a lot of people felt from the japanese economy, in particular. that economy in the '80s, that economy remains as big as it is, remains stagnant to a large extent today. how does that factor into the japanese chinese relationship? >> you know, to be

the soviet media portrays the u.s. political system as an oligarchy, ruled by the capitalists who control the impoverished masses. moscow radio said the american has been lulled by the demagoguery of those who have been bought by capital. they say american society is repressive and are in the opposition of a majority of their own people. they have said that thousands of political prisoners are languishing in u.s. prisons today. as a result -- today as a result of tierney and oppression of the authorities. a man was convicted in 1977 of murdering two fbi agents. while his case is here, his legal appeal gets a brief mention in the new york times. they published seven stories about him this past september. other soviet papers ran prominent coverage. the soviets seem to be using this case to counter western publicity about their own political prisoners. according to another moscow report, americans who oppose u.s. military policy are described as peace fighters who are repressed on a monstrous scale by american secret poli

i hope the u.s. neglects the international community's will to establish peace on the korean peninsula pyongyang will retaliate against attempts to impose sanctions and pressure from washington with powerful countermeasures we deeply condemn the leaders of south korea and japan for use in their eastern economic forum for their unclean political purposes their attacks on our self-defense of means all our strength in the hardened capabilities of north korea will clearly diverged from the goals of the four years where we discussed the topics of economic corporation. well speaking that was the head of the north korean delegation at the eastern economic forum that's currently taking place in russia's far east the new hawkins' is that for us. korean delegation the riving giving a speech just in the central hall to my left was very much something people waiting for those a big media scramble to hear what they had to say quite predictably taking a strong uncompromising position saying their development of th

there u.s. laws and regulations that prohibit the u.s. from transferring weapons to other countries when we have enough suspicion or knowledge that the weapons will be used for gross violations are war crimes. -- war were crimes. so it is a very serious involvement. u.s. involvement in yemen is extremely serious. --hink now that we have can confirmed this iconic attack that has killed buthaina's family, that this attack also resembles or is also an example of the u.s. involvement by supplying saudi arabia with the weapons, which were used to kill civilians, i think it should be another -- there should be another push to demand that the trump administration immediately to thell weapon sales saudi-led coalition. this is something that can happen and should happen immediately. that no more weapons are sold to saudi arabia or any other members of the coalition because we have to stop the supply of topons that are being used kill civilians. amy: can you talk about the resolution that was presented to the u.n. human rights council by the dutch

and so u.s. sailors and airmen and marines flying routine surveillance flights near communist north korea at the time, it was something the united states was doing. it wasn't exactly a front of mind concern for the american public, though. until all of a sudden it had to be. >> the evidence now is the north koreans did indeed soot down the american plane as they boasted they did. some wreckage full of shrapnel holes has been found. but of the 31 men aboard they have found no survivors. so far president nixon has said nothing in public. he's left it to the pentagon to tell what few details there are. a pentagon spokesman, daniel hankin, had a short statement telling what the u.s. military had learned so far. >> all evidence now available to us including north korean claims and sightings leads us to believe that the aircraft was shot down by north korean aircraft. as of this hour, regretfully, there has been no report of survivors. >> it seems certain that 31 crewmen of the plane are dead. an ameri

despite u.s. concerns over turkey's military dealings with russia washington has confirmed its commitment to military cooperation with anchor of the pentagon that it is ready to accelerate delivery of its own and two missiles systems to turkey. ciscos the story now with adam gary's the managing editor at the duran and joins me on the line now good evening adam. what first of all this going to need this missile system for who is it to defend against. well these are a defensive missile system and as you say the question is what is turkey concerned about the biggest issue facing turkey's security at the moment is the very real and grave worry about the creation of a would be kurdish entity or a state on their borders now the only major power in the wider world let alone the region who is for that is possibly the united states but the united states has been very confused about this they've sent mixed signals both to the kurdish militants that they're using in their proxy war in syria and they're sendi

and on u.s. cities. that is a big push adidas has made an nike has followed, focusing on urban areas to gain influence and get the advantage with social media and popular people. vonnie: to what i just said about espn. espn is reporting that rick pitino is out, that is a done deal. anticipate the halo effect? nike is having its own problems. matt: it is hard to say at this point. it depends on how this goes. this is an ongoing problem for adidas and this could potentially help nike. basketball has not been a big part of the adidas story in the united states. vonnie: thanks to matt townsend of bloomberg news. takes placet's cup every four years in the united , the best u.s. golfers facing off against the best international golfers minus europe. it gets underway tomorrow at liberty national in girardi -- jersey city. i sat down with two opposing team reps. listen. >> no, it does not get old. pretty special every time and it is fun to hear we are the first u.s. open champion so i do not know if i will ever

white house reaction to north korea's threat to shoot down u.s. aircraft even if it's not their rights never appropriate for a country to shoot down another country's aircraft when it's over international waters our goal is still the same we continue to seek the peaceful deep nuclearization of the korean peninsula that's our focus doing that through both the most maximum economic and diplomatic pressure is possible at this point there's been quite a back and forth between donald trump and the leaders of the d.p. r. k. let's take a listen to that the united states has great strength and patients but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. rocket. is going to suicide mission for him so and for his regime. kind of measure will be taken decided by the chairman of the state that there's commission. but i think that the strongest ever hundreds might be tested in the pacific. now it's important to note that at the beginning of september north korea tested its first hydrogen bomb a much mor

russia relations meanwhile a u.s. state department spokesperson faced a barrage of russia related questions after she referred to the searches as a simple top of the facilities. are writing programs are so what's your name let's move on move on to something else if you still consider that sovereign russian property or were those property search because there was a concern that they were being used for intelligence purposes which would be like a different issue i'm just not going to get into that a lot of this so let's move on to something else here. or any other country u.s. missions that. has been searched by the. government you know what i don't know if you are working for today or what but i think. in the latest development in their ongoing diplomatic spat the u.s. ordered russia to close three diplomatic premises just forty eight hours notice immediately after the eviction u.s. officers searched the san francisco consulate and trade missions in new york and washington in response president vladimir putin asked the

the u.s. president has stepped up his rhetoric against north korea threatening to destroy the country in a combative debut speech at the u.n. general assembly donald trump mocked kim jong un and he went on to describe pyongyang as aid to pray. diplomatic editor james bays has more now from the united nations. donald trump is the thirteenth u.s. president to come here to address the u.n. and with the north korea crisis to tear orating he knew the world would be hanging on his every word. this is a. message of coming together but once he headed to the general assembly chamber he's excellent see donald trump he had a very different message delivering a speech that astonished many diplomats by including an unprecedented threat to annihilate another u.n. member state the united states has great strength and patients but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies we will have no choice but to turn only destroy north korea rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime the word

u.s. government lied about in the leadup to the iraq war and how the u.s. government sold the country on the iraq war even though the premise for that war was false. they got an incredible track record of turning stuff up as a team and now, that same super power reporting team is going to get back together again despite the fact they write for different news outlets, they are getting back together again to write a book together again because right now they have got the trump russia story in their sights. so that was just announced today. that will end up being a big deal, i promise you. one of those reporters is here tonight. as the attorney general, jeff sessions comes under renewed pressure over his own denials that he had contacts with russian officials during the campaign. the president himself is also having some new trouble with one of his own statements denying a connection with russia. that statement now falling apart under new scrutiny. we got that story ahead including a visit wi

well they are why elation of the u.s. sanctions but. from that perspective many other things are a violation of u.s. sanctions so. and that's basically what doesn't what the iranian leadership doesn't care much about but they are not a violation of. join the comprehensive plan of action or here they are on date in their new nuclear the door j c p o a and they are not in violation of un resolution two two three one in the sense that iran interprets it. because like . resolution you have. like the iran has pledged not to. carry out ballistic missile casts designed to carry warheads and like they did the argument on the ring aside is that these. these myside the iran but basically because it's not seeking nuclear weapons and doesn't have orbit basically you by default these missile are not designed to carry or. so but that's. basically you're in a side of story u.s. saw i interpret this as a violation of u.n. resolution which has basically. stablished or instituted. nuclear deal and i'm talking about the resolution to two. days it's believ

u.s. congress -- back to work.

the u.s. and north korea continue their war of words cooler minds press for diplomacy and negotiations how much of a threat is north korea to the border and why. a u.s. state department faces them all put questions over the seizure of russian diplomatic property. warble diplomatic protocol i do you know where i don't know if you all want to fly today or what but i remember. russia's planned military drills and other routes calls up for among western politicians to whether there's any basis to the widespread panic. and honesty international accuses bahrain of mass torture and a crackdown against its government's critics but human rights group also blames the u.s. and the u.k. for ignoring the problem. is a darting international broadcasting to you live from the russian capital i'm lucky aaron good to have you with us out the u.s. state department has been facing a grilling over this seizure of the russian consulate in san francisco as it appears our t.v. is becoming synonymous with uncomfortabl

that the u.s. is overpaid that the u.s. hasn't gotten enough for what it's put in and so we saw back again here and and we had reaction not long after did speak from the french president manuel mccall and take a listen to what he had to say. i would like to speak in favor of the nuclear agreement with iran we put together a solid bust and verifiable agreement with iran that will ensure that iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon. we're now on scene it would be a grave error. it would be irresponsible for us to fail to uphold the agreement. because this is a good agreement an agreement that is essential to peace at a time when a downward spiral cannot be discounted. be. excluded. so we've got the french president you know juxtaposing himself against the u.s. president so we've got this clash do you think so when you look at nikki haley for example the u.s. investor to the u.n. secretary of state television do you think this president wants the u.n. mission to be a failure do you think that the members of the u.n. do they beli

well i think the u.s. virgin islands just like the other four on unincorporated u.s. territories which basically means territories of the west that they have us in limbo they don't want to be a state like hawaii and alaska we thought were incorporated territories but you know we're often very neglected at that point a lot of states titers know nothing about us they're not taught about it in their school books on their not you know we're on known to the majority of the u.s. i'm sure you know president trumpeting even know about us for the majority of the time he was running and maybe even after he was president and you know my issue with this was we have tens of thousands of virgin islanders just like similar with puerto rico you see who live in the states like new york for example and we have family and friends there who are trying to look at the news to see how their family and same for their family in st john are st thomas' or see how their friends are and you know to watch out for it because that's what anyone would do in light of or not for this after and you look

u.s. commerce department is laughing a preliminary two hundred twenty percent tax on planes now the trade tension is threatening to spill over to the other side of the atlantic this canadian aircraft would const three times more in the u.s. if the u.s. government carries out its intentions but party a call the punitive tariff absurd the americans actions are designed to push them out of the u.s. market they say the canadian government is not happy about the situation either. obviously we're disappointed by the decision and i will continue to fight hard for the killing jobs the dispute is about the sale of seventy five. is aircraft to the u.s. airline delta boeing accuses the canadians of selling the planes below the cost of producing them while receiving subsidies of about two point seven billion euros from the canadian government but bharti a rejected the claim the canadians even build some of the parts for the c. series in europe. bombard builds the fuselage and the wings in belfast nort

hello welcome back now the u.s. is pushing for the extradition of a russian national accused of cyber crimes and money laundering alexander vinick was arrested in greece back in july at the request of the u.s. justice department he's accused of using the crypto currency trading website bitcoin to launder more than four billion dollars greek with our teams are currently considering the extradition request mr been exposed to his by phone through his lawyer from prison and his first interview since his arrest. you know what i worked for the company and carried out my details and it's not right to blame me for that i only found out what the accusations were a month after i was arrested my russian lawyer told me about them. i would say they're mistaken i don't have any planes yours or any other luxury possessions to get to. first because i haven't done anything illegal second i don't understand what the u.s. has to do with me and why they should be judging a russian citizen. the russian foreign ministry has said it's clo

the u.s. state department says the searches are legal claiming diplomatic immunity is revoked following any closure however the vienna convention states immunity remains in place until diplomatic self leave the country vienna convention on diplomatic relations article twenty two point one the premises of the mission shall be inviolable the agents of the receiving states may not enter them except with the consent of the head of the mission. article thirty nine point two when the functions of a person enjoying privileges and immunities have come to an end such privileges and immunities shall normally cease at the moment when he leaves the country saying international is down very clearly the one hundred sixty one vienna convention of to plastic relations says that any diplomatic affiliated premises no one country. and any incursion on that territory is therefore seen as an attack on the country that is hosting that diplomatic mission so this is breach of all international law that there is some

south u.s. and south korea's drills that the double freeze and mission of for north korea has been proposed by china and russia which would require north korea to stop its nuclear and ballistic missile tests and in return the u.s. and south korea would stop their military drills this is a move that washington considers to be offensive the idea that some have suggested a so-called freeze for free is insulting. so it looks like for now the situation is in deadlock at least until washington decides that the rights and sanctions are counterproductive ok thanks a smear that was a smear a con for us in washington where we can discuss this a bit to you because we're joined now by ron mason he said and it is an international relations from the university of east anglia. good evening she welcome to r.t. what did you make of response to the russian and chinese initiative the so-called two track solution saying that it was offensive. well i think that that's fairly understandable given that the u.s. positi

so the u.s. was in a situation where they needed to be more self-reliant it lifted some import restrictions and banned exports now forty years later the ban is lifted oil begins trickling out of the u.s. and experts think that's only going to be jumping leaps and bounds year over year as that continues to happen i mean just last week the u.s. broke a weekly export record one and a half million barrels per day compared to less than a million just the week before this week u.s. crude hit a five month high more than fifty two dollars a barrel fifty two twenty two so crude production in general for the united states has jumped nine percent from this year compared to last and opec meanwhile has been cutting production so you see this trend continuing in the u.s. kind of becoming a bigger part of the global picture and knocking back on its heels in time and time and time again we've heard president trump complain about the huge trade deficit with countries like mexico and china of course you want to sh

the u.s. air force celebrates its seventieth anniversary and here to address the troops and their families president makes clear the air force may have a role to play in aggressive ongoing north korea crisis after seeing your capabilities and commitment. i am more confident than ever that our options in addressing this thread are both effective and overwhelming. earlier speaking at the white house the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. emphasize that sanctions could still be an effective weapon if you look at the resolutions that have passed in the last month or two of them they cut thirty percent of the oil they banned all the labors they banned ninety percent of the exports they banned joint ventures we've basically taken it in in the words of north korea we have strangled their economic situation at this point that's going to take a little bit of time but it has already started to take effect the national security adviser agreed but stressed diplomacy was not the only option these sanctions are ju

essentially, u.s. banking wants to exchange that money for u.s. dollars, which is how most business is done in the world. but we would not have access to this information without the dab being forced to provide information about the connections they have. tothey may have been able make the case. this makes it a lot easier. this connected a lot of the dots and play. this in play. there is a suggestion we could see another rocket launch from north korea over the founding dayeir anniversary. do you think that plays into the intensity of the efforts to try wantck down, aka, if you more sanctions, you need the evidence to do it? interesting when you look at the cases made in court. they take a long time to develop the evidence. see things get prioritized, specifically in the national security division in a case like this where things are ramping up in terms of aggression with another country. and the yuan is considering dropping a resolution -- drafting -- the u.n. is considering dropping a new -- drafting a new resolution. have you heard anything abou
