you know allow iran. in the struggle between both sides the moderates and the heart sides the hardliners to get out i mean that would not be in the interest of iran quite frankly because they are not so many links which exist between iran and the european union we as germans have now the presidency of the opinion even the presidency of this a curate a council of the united nations so it is really our firm believe that we should do whatever is possible to maintain this and to talk about difficulties and find find some solutions to these difficulties to be overcome. oh you will come back here in just a 2nd won't the reaction here from. zarif particularly has been very critical of the european union's of the europeans generally for not stepping up and not doing more to save the 2015 nuclear deal the j c p a you heard our guest in berlin say well actually we are trying to save this deal do you think that iran tehran believes that. well you read them foreign minister today in parliament he was grilled by the m

there is radio florida for iran. we do not have something like that for venezuela i have been asking myself whether we should. of course, you know, when the cold war started, the high technology that we were using was a shortwave radio and fax machines. now, the internet is critical because in venezuela, the regime has completely control over the broadcast mass media. television, for example. and, parts of the internet, in the sense that, in a national assembly, juan guaido would give a speech and they would take down the ability of the national assembly page to be seen in venezuela. so, we need, obviously, to think hard about vp ends and various ways that we can help venezuelans access the internet. you then have the other problems, like unstable electricity, unstable internet connections. you know, this is the new world that we are working in. even in this new world, radio remains important. it is something that i think in the context of venezuela, we are going to be thinking about more >> that's good. actually, i

withdrew from the iran nuclear deal and banned from the policy of maximum pressure on iran iran is now resumed uranium enrichment as i'm sure you know it's restarted centrifuge research and development and expanded its stockpile of nuclear fuel as we sit here today do you think sanctions of work. i think they've had a crushing effect on the iranian regime and in terms of what they were knowing him but i also know they are working on because of the array nor do you want to and i'm sure you're going to let me finish this and more or maybe i'll just continue and hope that you know i've been able to hear me if you if you will answer the question the last thing about it's an icon that i see i am answering the question what when you interrupt in the middle of a sentence i think that's hardly fair do you think that's fair i think it's fair if you're not if you're drifting off with you would you address whether you say you know what i call it a lateral i suppose well you're a big believer in unilateral action on the stand but there's income buyers out there that might want to you just want to

will encourage iran to work harder and that nothing can slow down iran's nuclear program and that's why he made that statement for people inside but also outside the country and so that just sounds like there are difficult times for iran's government what is the background to the antipathy that was faced by the foreign minister himself in parliament. well he was heckled interrupted and called a liar and that's because the parliament is a conservative parliament now this was voted in this year in what was one of the record lows turnouts this country has seen since the revolution 41 years ago and it's the most conservative parliament we've seen for 41 years now the conservatives have made no secret about the fact that they're not onboard with the nuclear deal they don't like how it was handled by the moderate president and he's don't want and that's why there was so. reef today because they don't think that this has benefited iran in fact they think iran has come off worse than iran has actually gained anything from this but. did try to defend himself and his government's policy said

kennedy as president bashar intensified iran u.s. relations the 2 of them agreed that only a strong military could fend off the latent threats from the soviet union the us promised aid to strengthen iran's armed forces and in return for weapons america would get oil. i think ari. often the americans gave the shah modern weapons to build up his armed forces. there were countless military advisors in iran who decided what would be done and what wouldn't ask you after. that and the things they did was certainly not a service to democracy didn't it bush diminished it or more cutty. in the 960 s. iran was still very much a developing country most people were tenant farmers with most of the land in the hands of feudal lords and big landowners including numerous mullahs and religious foundations. was. on january 11th 963 the sham put forward a comprehensive reform program aimed at significantly improving the people's living conditions he called it the white revolution. and the nervous if equally the white revolution that his majesty decided

bomb bomb iran do you still believe in bombing iran today. you know i didn't write that headline i know some people don't appreciate this but authors don't get to write the headlines for their op ed pieces i would never written a headline that way and i haven't written an op ed for the new york times since then since i think it's quite worded what i said my point and i did not quote make sure. the family i was going to be picked so you does your level coal for the bombing of iran if that's your position i don't know you you you quoted the headline and i'm explaining to you that the headline was written by the neuron i may have you have a cold you obama is not on yours. i'm sure if you'll stop for a 2nd i'll get to explain what i did say in numerous speeches television and radio appearances and that is that at that time and subsequently the ayatollah his regime was doing everything they could to advance a nuclear weapons program and a ballistic missile program that threatened their neighbors in the region in europe and ultimately the united st

for a moment we'll get reaction from iran hasa bega standing by for us and to iran but 1st let's get to some our whole team who's in baghdad simona just tell us why is this visit so important. well it's the 1st time iran's foreign minister visits iraq after the assassination of an iranian general custom still in money on january 3rd and it's also the 1st time that he visits the country after the formation of the new government led by a prime minister more than me who is seen as somebody who is closer to the united states compared to his predecessor. the he's somebody who has emphasized the importance of iraqi sovereignty somebody who has also vowed to restrict weapons in the hands of the state and who has recently moved against armed groups like this which are perceived as being close to iran so the last few months have been rather turbulent for iran iraq relations and this visit is certainly aimed at recalibrating relationship at making sure that iran's economic political and security interests are represented and it comes just a day ahead of most a visit to saudi arabia which will

iran accuses the e.u. of failing to honor the 2050 nuclear deal and formally activates the dispute mechanism. and the last. when redskins say they will review their name page it will be here to explain why in sports. a humanitarian ship in the mediterranean has declared a state of emergency crew members on board the ocean viking say they can no longer guarantee the safety of the 180 migrants and refugees that rescued many a dangerously distressed is italy in malta continue to refuse to let the ship dock shall about its reports. volunteers chase after migrants who have jumped from the ship the ocean viking after being stuck on board for a week the 2 men made a disparate attempt to swim to europe the risky ship has now declared a state of emergency. it says more migrants are threatening to jump all commit suicide. because except this people can't jump you can't he creates problems won't solve anything we've been doing this for for 4 and a half years ago bringing people always to a safe place but this is the

today our focus is iran we're going to drill down on what's happening there and we've invited iran's ambassador to the united nations to join us here live on the news with rick sanchez where we believe it's time to do news again. ok these are the questions that we think you'll be asking tomorrow after watching our newscast today what's iran up to both militarily and economically are the feds violating the u.s. constitution in portland and will delay in maxwells words now come back to haunt her we've got covered on all of those stories we are moments away though from speaking with iran's ambassador to the united nations right here exclusively but before we do so we thought it would be good to set the table regarding iran and all the news and accusations back and forth from tehran to washington here now is veteran middle east correspondent paula slayer who's covered iran and can bring us up to date on what's going on there now possibility. well we're going to be weeks there have been a series of explosions and fires across iran a congressman's number of sites including a new. since he

put forward to the international atomic energy agency that called on iran to called on iran to grant access to a number of sites inside iran sites that iran considers that are not part of the 2015 nuclear deal across iran is concerned these are military sites however the i.a.e.a. has questions about these sites and some of the activities that took place there prior to 2015 nuclear deal being signed saying that iran says that all the nuclear activity is for peaceful means. already has access to all declared nuclear sites including 247 on line monitoring. iran didn't want any interference in the cooperation between the i and iran could have negative consequences this mechanism that the europeans are talking about for 30 days it can be extended if all parties agree before it's referred to the united nations it's the same mechanism that the 3 triggered back in january this year but then suspended after they had triggered that so iran not giving much details but we already know that iran is very frustrated with the europeans and the lack of compliance and essentially finding a way around

iran's foreign minister has landed in baghdad to talk energy security and the economy. a new battle looming in libya government forces and those loyal to woodward fairly fast are preparing to fight for the city of service. and waiting for aid in india as are some sticks a long way down his efforts to help flood victims. coronavirus infections have risen by a record by record levels rather across the world for a 2nd day the world health organization says more than a quarter of a 1000000 people were diagnosed in just 24 hours the biggest increases were in the united states brazil india and south africa w.h.o. also reported more than 7300 deaths that is the biggest day the increased since may 10th more than 600000 people have now died since the pandemic began. brazil's president jaya both an auto says coronavirus restrictions are killing its economy also not or has repeated they fought against state governments who have imposed dulls it's estimated the economy could shrink by more than 6 percent this year. depression still forced virus so we have to face pandemic by keepin

policy in iran. well and joe biden administration would have to be particularly careful because there would be a temptation of course to reverse $180.00 from president from and reach a point more very small to lateral agreements be it arms control or environmental the trump administration has left but to do so only for the purposes of domestic politics would yield only one clear winner not republicans and not democrats the clear winner there would be islamic republic of iran 'd because that unilateral embrace on its face of the j.c.b. away while the running violations are increasing while iran behavior is increasing would only reward that behavior and forget of course that america works best when it has its partners behind it as part of a concerted series of escalating pressure so i think if there is a biden in this ration they need to rebuild their national coalition on iran they think capitalize all the time trump took off of the iran deal and have this next that pressure campaign and wields the pr

objectives when it comes to iran? >> and dalia, we don't have a lot of time, but would you say when you look at the israeli behavior here, is there something going on here where they feel like they have this last window of opportunity because donald trump is president and will support any move taken by them? >> as i said, they certainly have what they perceive as a green light from washington, if the reports are correct, they may have more than that, where it might be actually a coordinated campaign. you know, i think there's a lot of merit to that argument. i think the israelis as well as the americans also do see iran as incredibly vulnerable right now. the sanctions have taken a toll, the pandemic unrest within the country, societal protests ongoing. so, i think, you know, the israelis may very well think this is a window, an op tune time to attack and degrade -- >> dalia, i have to cut you off there. we are out of time. dalia, fascinating. thank you so much. >> thank you. thank you. >>> next on "gps," bernard-henr

it is the largest uranium enrichment facility in iran and last year in response to us sanctions, iran double the numbers of advanced interviews is operating here. this image shows the side before the attack on the second ofjuly. this large building is believed to be the place where centrifuges are made. and this one shows the aftermath of the attack. you can see how bad the damage is and experts believe this could delay the nuclear programme until the structure can be repaired or replaced.“ it can identify a culprit and be certain of it, for example, israel, i would be certain of it, for example, israel, iwould imagine be certain of it, for example, israel, i would imagine that in time, if not sooner than that, iran will attempt to carry out some sort of retaliatory attack. us sanctions imposed on iran to stop nuclear development have made life difficult for all iranians and now, its flagship nuclear programme has been compromised. as long as i am president of the united states, iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. iran has ruled out negotiating with donald trump so

today our focus is iran we're going to drill down on what's happening there and we've invited iran's ambassador to the united nations to join us here live on the news with rick sanchez where we believe it's time to do news again. and here's a list of the questions we think you'll be asking tomorrow after watching our newscast today is the u.s. presence in ukraine there to unify or divide. also what is iran up to both militarily and strategically why is japan asking its companies to leave china and we are moments away though from speaking with iran's ambassador to the united nations right here exclusively but before we do so we thought it would be good to set the table regarding iran and all the news and accusations back and forth from tehran to washington here now is veteran middle east correspondent paula slayer who's covered iran and can bring us up to date on what's going on there now possibility. well we're going to be weeks there have been a series of explosions a. grand congress has a number of sites it could be a nuclear facility 8 missile. and medical clinic be on a number of

will encourage iran to work harder and that nothing can slow down iran's nuclear program and that's why he made that statement for people inside but also outside the country trita parsi is executive vice president of the washington think tank the queen seen situations he thinks iran has been very restrained in its respond to over the latest incident. previous efforts of sabotage have actually targeted that site as well in fact destruct virus was targeting centrifuge that were in that facility so in a sense what your commentary said earlier on is quite true it seems like the iranians may actually be coming out and explain the damage that has been done precisely to take the opportunity to on the one hand signal that they're going to double down on the nuclear program as a result of this but also perhaps to signal the europeans that once again the iranians are showing a degree of restraint in case it turns out that this actually was a call an act of sabotage from the hostile power and i think they're building up their cards to put pressure on the europeans that the europeans have to do

iran's atomic energy organization has acknowledged that a fire at the natanz nuclear facility has cost significant damage said the blaze could slow down development of centrifuges used to enrich uranium but that iran would replace the facility with more advanced equipment as the report. what exactly happened at the natanz nuclear facility last week it's a question people in iran and around the world have been asking since a fire was reported at iran's main uranium enrichment facility on thursday a fire incident like this at the centerpiece of the country's nuclear program is easily a cause for global concern but iranian leaders downplay the incident latest satellite imagery however seems to show the scale of the damage whatever the cause is bigger than initial reports seemed to suggest on sunday the spokesman of the atomic energy organization of iran confirmed the seriousness of the matter speaking to state news he said enrichment activities continue but the damage was significant enough to slow some work at the facility this incident may create delays in the medium term

and iran represented by their top diplomats. secretary of state mike pompeo urged members of the council to extend the ban on iran buying conventional weaponry, which is due to expire in october. >> this chamber has a choice, stand for international peace and security, as the u.n. founders intended, or let the arms embargo on iran expire, betraying the u.n.'s mission and ideals we have pledged to uphold. ran will be to act, i free to purchase russian-made fire jets which can strike up to radius.ilometer correspondent: iran's foreign minister spoke at the end of the session. >> this status quo is neither acceptable nor sustainable. the international community in general and the united nations security council in particular are facing an important decision. do we maintain respect for the rule of law, or do we return to the law of the jungle by surrendering to the whims of an outlaw bully? correspondent: in just two weeks, the iran nuclear deal, agreed in 2015, will be five years old. many predicted it wouldn't survive when two yea

imposing sanctions or fines against them for dealing with iran but the message from iran hair into iran is very clear and the message to south korea is that you purchased that will now pay for it thank you for that big life or a stair in tehran. yemen's home fees say they've killed and injured dozens of high ranking military officers in saudi arabia according to their spokesman they hit multiple military sites and a large oil facility just across the border game this is part of a major new offensive saudi arabia hasn't said whether anyone was killed or injured in the attacks but the saudi u.a.e. coalition in yemen announce it intercepted 4 missiles and 6 explosive drones overnight what was thought if in about is 3 up in iowa up with high position ballistic missiles not disclosed before and large numbers of drones are armed forces destroyed warplanes and pilot barracks and their defense patriot system and jaime some shit other military positions and is on a not strong were destroyed also the joint oil installation in the industrial area of design was targeted targets were hit with high p

we go this morning the new york times is pending a piece about a leak that describes how china and iran are signing a 25 year military and economic partnership agreement the peace and titled when china met iran seems to suggest that washington is kind of freaked out by this that it has quote the united states in a geo political storm. so what is this deal between the us is biggest adversary in the middle east and the us is the most predominant economic competitor on the entire world stage well it's described as an agreement that is going to provide iran with all the tech and economic development that china can offer in exchange for massively discounted oil all that iran can offer this is amazing isn't it so just how important is this deal is it happening because our foreign policy here in the states has literally pushed these 2 countries into each other's embrace has our adversarial relationship with each of them somehow ended up bringing them together ironically. charles dickens one of the world's greatest writers and social commentators of all time if he were alive today would probabl

did he act by attacking iran? he did not. he took out a known terrorist who had killed hundreds of american troops who was in the region orchestrating other forces to attack us. that is not the pattern of someone who wants war with iran. --s is a regime that would that deserves. it is a leading sponsor of state terrorism in the world. it has killed hundreds of american soldiers. if the president wants to play tough against people like that, it is the appropriate thing to do. this amendment would send the wrong message at the wrong time to a very dangerous enemy of the united states. for that reason, i urge its rejection. >> if there is no further debate, the member from california is recognized on the amendment for one minute to close. ,> first of all, let me say there are three branches of government and the constitution requires restrictions on the president. , the article two constitution allows the president to respond to any attack on the united states or our allies. these arguments opposing this amendment are not making

has been 5 years since iran nuclear agreement was signed in vienna but its future is uncertain after president trump decided to withdraw from the deal in 2018 since then is said to increasing tension between washington tehran and other signatories diplomatic editor james space has more. july 25th these are the signatories of the iran nuclear deal 5 years on of the 8 top officials only the foreign ministers of iran russia and china are still in the posts but the real survivor some would say against the odds is the deal itself it was the culmination of years of negotiation and the final round of talks in the july heat wave in vienna was intense and difficult the key participants only glimpse briefly between meetings are you confident you can get a deal this bizzare. i have to be hopeful were his words before returning to the talks and which according to a number of accounts the french took the toughest line with iran their chief negotiator at the time was ambassador nicholas riviere. if you look at it now do you think you could have got a better deal. i just said in part no it is so it

what going on in iran? >>> billions of people confined to their homes. what thathas this pandemic done world and humanity? i'll talk to the french philosophy. >>> from question president obama's place of birth to declaring dead people were voting for hillary clinton. donald trump's conspiracy theories are the subject of my new special airing monday night at 9:00 p.m. i will give you a sneak preview. >>> first, here is my take. with the pandemic over shadowing everything, one can forget there is a presidential campaign going on that helps to explain why the media paid so little attention over the past few weeks when joe biden released plans the fight climate change and the economy. it's forward thinking but more interesting is the economic plan which promises the quote ensure the future is made in all of america, unquote. that sounds like an america first agenda and sure enough, president trump accuse biden of stealing his ideas. in fact, while the plan is politically clever in moving directly onto trump's turf of economic nationalism it's much better tha

on that day the united states used an armed drones to target and kill iran's top general. salim annie as well as a number of these companions including largely iraqi president to chief that is a significant and troubling new development it is the 1st known incident in which a state invokes self-defense as a justification for an attack against a government official outside a declared armed conflict. the. international community must now confront the real prospect that states could opt on the basis of that precedent to strategy clearly believe me nate i ranking military all nonmilitary of shores outside the context of a known war and to justify that killing on the ground of self defense. understood in this very elastic fashion which i have just presented. as a result of the development both legal technological and practically on the ground i think we are facing a tipping point in these 2nd drone age. the response to to those targeted killings to the use of drones as has been unfortunately largely muted both domestically and internationally internationally the security counci

date's steps up the number of cyber attacks it's conducting against iran according to u.s. officials the cia has conducted a series of covert to cyber attacks particularly in the last 2 years since the american president donald trump signed sweeping authorization for such attacks to occur the authorization allows the cia to disrupt and destroy iran's nuclear facility and in the last 2 years according to american officials at least 12 covert operations have been carried out the cia refuses to comment. on r.t. jerusalem stuff paula joining us now discuss this is a former pro not official. that's a series of fortified unexplained explosions or fires michael maloof possibly just a coincidence. in this business rick there are no coincidences this is a calculated determined effort to basically cause regime collapse to to weaken the people's confidence in their government because because they're occurring all over and i think it's a combination of things internal opposition groups and also cyber attacks from outside from the united states and by israel. and given that pipelines an

judges in iran have suspended the planned execution of 3 men linked to anti-government protests you know follows several days of online protest which were joined by prominent actors and sports stars 3 young men were convicted of vandalism in arson during protests against economic hardships which rocked iran last november this is french and other executions was announced on a rainy and state television lawyers for the men say they hope the death sentences will be overturned entirely following a review. now protesters say the suspension of the execution is a rare example of iranian authorities listening to their demands you know used is here to tell us more so joel how did this come about well this all kicked off on tuesday last week after the iranian supreme court upheld the death sentences of these 3 men all aged in their twenty's the court said that they were riot leaders who would help set fire to buses banks and other public buildings and that they had found videos of these activities on their mobile phones however amnesty international says that these convictions were based on confes

the importance of iran's relationship with iraq he emphasized the important role that iran plays as a regional actor in terms of stabilizing the region in terms of bringing peace and stability and prosperity to the region and i'll read to you some of what he said he said iraq attaches importance to defending iran and will not allow any threat to be imposed against iran from iraqi soil certainly a significant thing to say is especially as iran is continuing to investigate a series of explosions and industrial accidents that people say are of a mysterious nature that have happened throughout the country in recent weeks. another attempt being made to break the deadlock over africa's largest hydroelectric dam and leaders from ethiopia sudan and egypt started a virtual summit now the last round of talks on the ground renee sunstar mended a week ago with very little progress the sticking points include how any future disputes will be resolved and how ethiopia will respond to droughts in the region sudan in egypt say the dam will affect their water supplies and they want to operate until a

because iran is such a maligned country line actor in that region and that's in syria where iran is proposing to install anti aircraft missile systems in syria in ways that will prevent israel from being able to attack hezbollah militia operations that are against israel's national interests in my own senses israel will not allow iran to deploy those missiles in syria and so if there is an effort to do so by the iranian military you may see conflict between israel and iran in syria and then a few 100 miles to the west collins you have a horrific civil war inside of libya just south of italy and it's become a migration suv into the european union for african human trafficking pipelines and you have a situation now where turkey and cutter or working with one side russia egypt saudi arabia france are working with the other side and you have a very very difficult situation at the u.s. is looking to completely avoid and i believe president trump means it when he says he doesn't want to get involved in what he calls stupid wars in the middle east so despite the best efforts of a number of
