Say yoga and it was started to kind of get talky with. Oh. Going on the outlook that everyone has. All these new forms of yoga on just a fringe they represent a massive growth in the yoga market with International Apparel Companies Like lemon athletic opening in Downtown London to grab a piece. I think you know western mentality is a lot about business and how soon you come out and sell certain things right and thats very different from the certain tradition and what you know that was originally and meant to be like even you know being in jail for a month earlier here making secure is out there you know their image adapting to western sense and in a way its going to be seen they think its hell its. Thing of all of it and its a matter of. Integrity have at what it was originally. But what was meant to be originally and how is it moving away from that i went to speak with Stuart Gilchrist who teaches a traditional and physically rigorous form of yoga for the release of a group really straightforward. Yeah. The wont. Feel good about life is not like the billet the. Genetic privacy but thats life its what we do in years and never going to the highways what you like with your friends and your family what you like in the restaurant how you are going to bicycle and how you are at your work every day with your probably not just what happens not to do is run over and a half of the day its also your because all of them. I think of dropping one of them was piling up thank you for them i didnt do them right off the top like drop it drop the heat. From feeling just if i recently had a very serious accident and i do a bike and i had to be a spinal injury and i was pretty much over my shoulder just anger theyve gone nudist and then opened my eyes up to the broader picture of what youre good the boys youll get a detachment. From edison mental and physical your possessions. And your desires your senses. Everyones attaching way to yoga to their studios in gym and what have you theres all kinds of hybrid yoga coming out boxing yoga cycling yoga naked yoga all kinds of stuff but your opinions on the. Prophesies basin and consume and ideation of yogurt is important its become so much of the business and become so much of a profit ive been referred to as the revenue stream. By us he might have a point but im a 5050 you know my undergrad most in the b. And then ive got a very sort of. It with a teacher in the studio is very interesting since you do not want to be on the road so. It was a really tough class it was a really tough class. Because yoga is really about the mysteries of the universe is a very were kind of commercializing the mystery and youll be right there isnt going to trust oh absolutely just what do we do about it we keep teaching we keep teaching something more from the old. Im headed to the u. S. Where yoga was 1st popularised in the west its one of the biggest yoga markets in the world its mainstream fashionable cool glossy its well american. Hairstyles and its all about work hard and playing hard i apply the same philosophy doing yoga same town and working. I believe in making my own rules and injecting fun and everything i do tara styles is symbolic of the modern transformation of yoga in america she has created her own form of yoga stronger and has Marketing Campaigns with the w. Hotel and reebok should be easy forget about. Getting. The 1st person to put you to videos but you know the line like 2006 and all my friends were like thats so crazy like what do you do were going to make my friends back home ive backed away and i have things i have strategists what i do like here somebody without your eyes with your palms you know bring it comes right up into your heart to hear. The New York Times describe you as you know the rebel they did and do you see yourself and you know the rebel so the whole rebel you know got idea i think really came out of rebelling against the fact that it has to be and sounds great or has to be super serious or it has to be has to be a certain way but if you look at the approach of what we are doing its it doesnt look rebellious it looks very simple and song. Often its all about ease and finding what works for you and its very soft percent. Higher. As he says through your teeth or youre quoted as saying why be when you can be fabulous. Like her is that a correct approach was part of the double you can do that and it was like i read talk yes they did i mean i think the point is to get everybody talking its like you know beings and i think is that is my point of view going to be like like you said connected with yourself i would think beings and it is fabulous you know its the same thing but then you didnt say that you didnt say you can lets be zen and fabulous so are you know fine i think but i think its changing the perception and speaking to the people that have had abuse from the community its like oh you went in and they said youre not as and said hey let me put a blanket over you i mean people have been like humiliated by the you know the Community Thing theres a little bit of sense in the younger industry of sort of holier than thou. You know i dont know going to sit around like complain about if i just think its more important you know help people to feel better like so your thing is like stripping out i dont know the sanskrit the indian spirituality maybe i dont know like i truly how would you like took the name yoga out of my company a couple years ago nobody noticed so its a struggle. But you to feel sure so what i was taking i think its a new definition its an evolution of you know that you know i mean who are we really answering to. Who are we ultimately answering to india ancient yogis can india still claim yoga as its modern cultural heritage. Of the Hindu American Foundation seems to think so in 2010 they launched a take back Yoga Campaign to raise awareness about yogas roots says obviously but that veto if it was considered you know the father rushed on it is the. Question to come under for a lot of these hes considered by the supreme being and i asked her last trip here yeah. One day you do not. Really. Need it is a matter that people should recognize as a hindu practice is that a fair thing to say i like the term rooted in hindu thought because when you say its a hindu practice it gives the impression that people have to convert you know your average person thinks of hinduism as caste cows and karma and they have multiple arms and multiple heads what your spouse is is this pluralistic view you know that anybody can do it the same way that him there was and has this pluralistic view of it anybody can reach divine whats happened is that people have forgotten that youre going to is much more than just an exercise we have seen so many manifestations i guess and were seeing it in the kind of society we live in now when the something stop becoming you know i think that a lot of the new forms of yoga are there not you know that america is great at like taking what it likes from different cultures and then just like making it its own and i feel like thats a little bit of whats happened with yoga like its kind of made it into its own version of yoga. Well but. You know this for everyone but within the roots it is definitely rooted in hindu philosophy. Im just like confused because im a hindu im a hindu by maimane because of the way i was raised and i believe in you know the general teachings of hinduism but im a very open minded individual. But i can understand what she thought was saying i really understood it that a lot of what yoga teaches us is what hinduism teaches us theyre the same thing so im conflicted now because. I want yoga to be a secular thing the problem is if yoga is seen as a hindu practice it might drive people away from it i think its the variety and diversity of yoga that makes it so popular it fits the practitioners. Barstow population 23000. 00 halfway between los angeles and las vegas in the heart of the californian desert its an unlikely place to be doing yoga but im not here to do just any yoga im meeting the ladies a priest moves a christian alternative to yoga this is a very true as my husband and i got married and he never thinking he would be a pastor you know i went to yoga class in kansas ok and i you know i can do any of my you know what im here yeah its such a workout it is hard i came and i asked my husband i dont want to offend and yeah you know but i said hey can i do a yoga class and barstow i know they have can i do it and he said wait a minute it was from a religious oh you know hindu you know were not were not you know and we respect you guys sure were just not you know youre absolutely yeah and so he got on the internet and he found a slur at well this priest my. Where you do similar positions but we quote scripture your body is the temple of the holy spirit who is in you whom you have received from god you are not your own you were bought at a price therefore honor god with your body 1st corinthians 619 and thats why were thrilled to see after we have prayed to. Take care of our money and learn scripture and get in the van is going to join our class today so absolutely fighting. It stephanie said then to. You for ok were going to start with mount zion posture and lets roll our shoulders weve been sitting for a while. The strikes the movements of the arms who are here the skin nice movements back and for theyre going to come forward reaching down kind of like a windmill in this good if we could all go the same way effect a fervent prayer for a righteous man. Avails much shame 516516. Im doing yoga poses while reciting biblical scripture i dont have any problem with the exercise but i find the whole situation rather odd it looks and feels like yoga but is it. 33 for. We certainly are aware that it looks like yoga you know thats totally fine if people say that but we believe yoga is a spiritual practice and were not doing that dear lord thank you here learn i say. We can all pray. We just think you are thats really all we have to say you know some god and we appreciate you giving us your word so we can move our bodies and say healthy. The debate over whether yoga is religious isnt just limited to the walls of churches and temples in america its found its way into the courtrooms to. Give appearance and in sydney to california have their own warrior stance on free yoga classes being taught in their School District saying yoga is a form of the sheriffs in this room that dont want yoga taught and practiced in the interview to School Districts say that it cannot be separated from religion children were being allowed through sun salutation and while being asked questions about why they were thankful to the sign they were being asked to thank god for things they were lied to and something called a number where they were asked to acknowledge the light and each other and what i found was that they were not at all talking just about acts or science they were talking about teaching children a life skills based on yoga called author about the almost a direct quote you know the whole lot the fee is the very specifically religious philosophy the big story here is that america has been sold a lot yoga is being marketed deceptively dean broyles is a lawyer who represented the pair. And their lawsuit against the n. C. Me to School District american started say oh i can adopt this and exercise because we like to be healthy and they think that by removing the meditation the sanskrit terms that that suddenly transforms yoga into a nonreligious practice but social Science Research has proven that just doing the poses and just doing yoga breathing is enough to cause spiritual transformation so have you ever done yoga before by accident actually you know not possible to well you know if it was just 2 moves i think it appeared 90 video ok as i realize later were were i think one of them was a downward dog and i think one pose was a warrior pose and i realized later that those were yoga poses and so i dont do that anymore but do you call your great sister pose right if youre going to take you away from god if you do that pose when i know im not going to find that out because of sort of doing it. But if you asked hindus in india if you was religious what do you think they would tell you i think youd get a mixture of answers to be honest with you why i think the mid vast majority would say yes it is children all over in c. D. s are spontaneously at birthday parties playgrounds on at weekdays and weekends getting into the lotus position putting their hands in the shiner mood and and meditating. It seems to me the dean broyles and the n. C. Need a school case is part of the larger culture of war in america and its hard for me to see young get dragged into that battle back in l. A. My friend karen invited me to her neighbors 4th of july party and i suspect dean would have had a problem with what was going on there for 1st your life in america and i couldnt ask for a better the flare up or americano those kids to build up great kids for it should be using the kids are the ultimate yogis. Living in the moment thats children do they have to learn a lot of what it. Was. I. Was. They wanted 43000000000. 00 with a weapon that was 6000000000. 00 in. Theres no ending more because theres always a. Really really good mystery. In essence we in the United States have privatized the ultimate Public Function your shadow on aljazeera.

U. Leaders cannot protect it from washington sanctions but the u. S. Is continuing to keep up the pressure on iran that special envoy brian has been touring europe to explain washingtons position. Iran for its 40 year history thrives on terrorizing people. And it often works and they escalate tensions until there is a relaxation of pressure. We dont believe in playing by those rules anymore and this is why we have continued to deepen irans diplomatic isolation and to intensify the economic pressure.

Daddy. I mean a lot of money and professional wrestling really towards the end of my career in the game to be getting for years but. Hes already doubled everything ive made there im not trying to change anyway im trying to change the way people look at the work you know thats it it aint so mom of yoga. And. One thing is for sure the opportunity for money in yoga is changing the way people think about yoga and maybe even the way theyre practicing it according to a recent yoga journal study there are 20000000 yoga practitioners in america and over 40 percent of i dont say they want to practice at a yoga journal conference in san diego business is booming. Were cool with it. Its to simulate. Paddleboard on the water right we just do it and oh sure thing i am attracted to growth industry thats where youre going to expand and youre going to make some money. Is obviously one of those it is because you remember when he can go out go yeah gotta go in. This appears to be 1st a booth where i can get my picture taken. And put on the cover of a yoga journal its kind of cool. So i came here i was like a lot of people just know but you know too much but now im like a kid in a candy store im totally falling for you know all these like products. You know. For navia. Spiritual materialism. Back rhonda and weve shown it pretty much all those people are that theyre not in this necessarily to you know to make money there are theyre trying to spread the joy but the same time for us to exist we have to be a business and were going to get as more and more people capita. Lies on the growth of yoga that means being competitive in the Business World one area hotly contested today is intellectual property ownership. In the yoga world the battle over intellectual property started in 2002 when big 3 tried to copyright his sequence of 26 poses in a heated room big room is arguably one of the most influential and controversial names in yoga today with over 900 affiliated studios around the world hes facing allegations of Sexual Misconduct from former students and criticism over his efforts to copyright his sequence but i want to mark droste as a former student who spent many years teaching at the become school in l. A. When he left to start his own studio he was sued by bikram he sued us on many different fronts many false charges but the core of it the goal of it was to get us tied up in court on the issue of the sequence and a Summary Judgment was won on our part to dismiss that idea because its very clear that there is no such thing as a copyright protection for a yoga sequence and United States law one company that successfully got a patent for its approach to yoga is yoga glow a leader in online yoga classes they patented the way in which their classes are filmed derek males is yoga glows founder this is it her knife this is where we hold our classes we have this set up such that the camera is at the back of the room and he wanted to create an experience that was you know not like a filming studio Recording Studio is that the placement of the camera and the height is that is that sort of relevant yeah yeah the there are a variety of specifications or the camera placement the high court or the details of the court or and there are other specifications as well ok you know them off the top your head. So i dont but you know i think i leave a lot of numbers involved i leave that to the intellectual property turned. A lot of work goes into the entire class creation process to make sure that you know what people experience online is a high quality safe experience its a look and feel that people have associated with yoga class and its a look and feel that we certainly plan to protect last year goodloe did set out to enforce its intellectual Property Rights they informed a competitor Yoga International did some of its yoga videos would be in violation of their pending patent. We received a letter from a from a legal firm who was representing an Organization Called the older glow a letter essentially said that we were in violation of their pending patent is come to our attention that Yoga International operates the web site youre going to national dot com which streams in on line fitness classes that mimics the method and techniques set forth in your week was u. S. Patent application which is enclosed for you reference the patent is pretty straightforward i mean theyve patented putting a camera in the back of a yoga classroom having an aisle down the center which seems fairly obvious because there are now you would be able to see this the teacher and pressing play and that doesnt seem to a lot of people like a particularly novel idea or something thats really worthy of an invention which is what patents are for protecting intellectual Property Rights of inventors are you trying to patent your own style of shooting a class now here at this organization the truth is weve thought about whether its prudent to seek to patent our own camera angles because what happens if those get taken up i mean it leads to those types of questions. How do we know whats going to be left if we dont do it what you would think would be the most important thing is what is the quality of the teaching youre giving are you doing something that is helping people are you doing some of it is not helping people but this doesnt even look at that this is looking out what camera angle you feeling from its not even about you know at all its really about this core business but it has deep reaching implications into what the future of yoga is going to look like yoga glow has an impressive repertoire of classes and teachers but owning a camera angle and stopping others from filming a certain way seems to me like it could prevent people from sharing yoga and besides people have been filming yoga this way for more than 20 years i showed derek a video of petard the joys teaching yoga. At that video was shot in 1903 clear central as you can see obviously the mats are in a different place but i dont see how thats different from your patent so the mats are configured differently well they are configured different but so basic what youre telling me is the difference. Is the configuration of your math correct but the math facing you know forward and you know in parallel to the corridor or you are transformed your youre taken into the studio with with real students there may be other differences relative to what you dont understand people saying how is that an invention can you can you understand how people would ask that question i would encourage you to go look at the specifications of that and because there are there are you know variety of them a few weeks after filming this interview derek published a block post saying that yoga glow has forfeited its patent however he says they will continue to protect the look and feel of their online classes which to me sounds like just another approach to owning yoga. Not everyone whose contribution to the evolution of yoga feels they need to protect it brazilian born harmony tri is a respected yoga teacher in new york city hes been practicing yoga postures for decades and hes even created some of his own offering them as a gift to the world with a pleasure to meet you im busy doing like i have to practice so like quite a few. I have a hand is that like im im not saying i create but due to lots of practice these variations came but i dont say it belongs to dominate this is universe is from yoga not from dharma i dont have any ego here. Egress and the 2nd cause a pang is suffering is that in this good that every thing i do i think is that perfect you understand i think here in this physical plane. Impossible to do something perfectly but of course deep inside you have your Good Intention to do it perfectly and do your best so thats the main thing i dont care about very sour. On hold on. Did you go to study in india or where did you who do you know consider i never been named in my life. Watch the part i love i want to see all of this holy place but that is appalling to me oh go on your find something shy. In your is a site you wrote on the law am i going to live while. I was heading to india to the roots of yoga before going i spent an afternoon with sharon dan and david life at their home in upstate new york were looking for a cat totem so weve been told. If you do yoga youve most likely heard of them theyre the founders of jeevan mctee a widely practiced yoga method. No god must atsugi no obama into means may all beings each and everyone everywhere be happy and free and may the thoughts words and actions of our own life contribute in some way when we started teaching yoga was not a career in fact it was seen as kind of where losers might have a possible last chance to do something in their life you know because they didnt have anything else going and its not that now its the big business its a big business and the career of choice traditionalist on the one hand and innovators on the other david and sharon have turned yoga into activism Animal Rights and veganism in particular a yogi is someone who is striving to live in harmony with the earth with the environment with other animals like a fairy had. Never entered yogis were not supposed to become involved in politics or activism of any sort they should be passive selfsatisfied and content in their the lotus hut right. Our students come to class yeah and they find peace but then they go out and they make peace all over the west has turned into a purely physical practice what are your thoughts on that and do you think even the physical practices is a good place no such thing as a purely physical approach thats the 1st there we need to have a new perspective so that no longer is spirituality in opposition to physicality but that nature and the world the earth is seen as a spiritual place as well. And mother oak tree nectar oh yeah for it on your phrase. Grandmother oak tree i speak on behalf of humanity you forgive our bumbling you guide us so that we can live more kindly on this planet and enhance all of life on this earth yes we were tree huggers and were not ashamed. For many in the Yoga Community india isnt just a country its a place to find yourself to find wisdom the birthplace of yoga for me india is all of those things and a part of my heritage. You would think yoga has always been popular in india but like in the west europe has experienced a resurgence in recent years and no one appeared in my says that revival more than swanning around if hes a household name in his yoga is a political one hes an outspoken supporter of the nationalist party a jump of party and Prime Minister netanyahu who himself practices yoga and recently spoke about its benefits at the united nations. The b j p won a landslide victory in the last general election so i mean ron dave was credited with bringing people out to vote get on the ballot your. About them make a very generic round. But he would then give them in the yard or. Dominate ground that was. It a genetic grant if you will be genetic but he would be all there. But yoga is facing the same political battles in india as in america the Supreme Court in india is now considering whether yoga is secular and should be taught in schools so i mean dave thinks it should your honey get your honey. Or your secrecy got my 70 without. Your 100 percent secular secular practice quote on him up at the get. The battle isnt only over the secular nature of yoga its also about National Heritage in response to us copyright claims the Indian Government has taken steps to create a traditional knowledge database of yoga poses to prevent anyone from trying to own yoga yoga your but you seek out Corporate News that. If you think about the negativity that you need that hell get. Your go make. A dent cup process york make it to be regularly so im with. You that you brought that that you need. A mind to be it that your get it done kill our swami ramdev has shown that yoga can bring about political change but im concerned that politics can change yoga too and that using yoga in politics could be just another way that people try to own it. Ive come to Southern India to meet such a good judge give us a dave who describes himself as a mystic and a yogi and has followers around the world. Im drawn to such good who he appeals to the young and urban middle classes of india he speaks their language he speaks to me. First of all of girl born a man grew and built a new satchel shivah also known as the id yogi the 1st every yogi the whole system of how to york is just this to bring your system to a certain level of symmetry where theres a certain genetic perfection to you that if you sit or stand here everything is at least. How do you think india is changing today and is that having an impact on yoga in india so its not just india the whole world the moment human to human intellect starts asking put in and relevant questions Belief Systems will start. Singh they will look for something more sensible more scientific which appeals to their logic and above all something that works so is that why you think youre becoming as popular as it is either reason it makes sense and it works you know the reason theres a lot of innovation in yoga is that a good thing is that its just part of the that is the most painful part ok explain that to me you dont read a goblin put it straight you read it for your flowers but there is never a garland without a thread it is the most wide the pain so you can add whatever you want but you dont distort the fact you cannot do innovations in the fundamental dimension of yoga but from your experience you can add weight as dimensions to it without distorting the fundamental nature of what it isa has 0 to move beyond being indian just because sun touches Indian Shores before it touches doha can we claim sun is indian because your guys just like that its its a certain life that arose here 1st this does not mean its an indian in any sense india is an identity todays international in a political identity your god does not belong to that identity at all it is the sickness of modern Society Today that if i discover something in nature i must own it intellectual property what im saying is the nature of this culture has always been if something is for the well being of human beings nobody can ever own it it must belong to everybody. Busy busy busy i agree with such good yoga should belong to everyone but im afraid that simple truth is getting lost in a world thats so commercialized and politicized. I set out to ask who owns yoga but im finding the question an impossible one to answer what i have found in my journey is that no matter how much people try to own it yoga remains deeply personal. Its all about attention it doesnt matter. Whether you can stand on your head or are you can do a handstand or Something Like that its the attention that you come with to the mats and so the attention that you come with to the ganges or any other place of faith or a pilgrimage. Is a beautiful thing. Before heading back home i went to meet an Old High School friend of mine whos now living in delhi im at the nih both practice yoga but weve had very different journeys i came to yoga as a physical exercise im it came to yoga as a last resort hes a recovering cancer patient who turned his life around when the doctors said there was no hope he brought it all home to me yoga meditation was such a key part of getting mentally to the right place to not only fight the disease but to accept it and then one step further to embrace it own. Im here im a product. Of having tried so many Different Things and finding the right combination that worked for me and i think we all need to be on those journey as self exploration to find what works for us because that is whats going to get us there. Im back in doha back to my life working in a fast paced newsroom and teaching yoga. Makes. Me think of come to realize that there are as many yoga is in the world as there are people when i see the diversity of yoga today and all the fascinating people ive spoken to even those i disagree with i cant help but feel proud that this ancient indian science of the soul is relevant and apply even now no matter where i am in the world i think by virtue or connecting your breath with your body i think it is a profoundly powerful activity it sounds so simple but i do try and live my life or see the world through yoga guy. And i kind of feel like my own life could be a metaphor for whats happening to yoga indian but not indian spiritual but not religious and on that point i feel that yoga has become a more spiritual undertaking for me more so than before but im coming to realize that my yoga journey is just beginning and that journey is unique to me.

In 2015 the negotiating teams came to the lavish paoli coburg in vienna its a sign and seal the. Nuclear deal 4 years later theyre here trying to save it Britain China france germany and russia have announced that in sticks is now operational a complex barter type system to let European Countries trade with iran while avoiding u. S. Sanctions tehran has set a july 7th deadline thats when its threatened to begin enriching uranium close to weapons grade purity if its oil exports arent regime and i believe that it was a. Positive and constructive meeting. I can say want to start for work compared to the previous meetings we have. But it is a still not enough and it is it is still not clear to you dont say expectations china are the biggest buyer of iranian oil has also hit out at the United States for its unilateral action we reject the unilateral imposition of sanctions and for us the and it is security is important and the importation of all is important to the Chinese Security and it is security and also to the livelihood of the people President Trump took the United States out of the j. C. P. O. A deal last year and is pressurising the european signatories to do the same at the same time the u. S. Is demanding that iran must abide by the deal and limited stockpile of enriched uranium previously iran exported excess uranium to stay within the limits of the sanctions now prevent that the u. S. Special envoy on iran is touring european capitals to muster support for President Trump stance on friday he was in london we are trying to restore deterrence to reestablish deterrence against iran. We are also putting ourselves in a position where if we are attacked by iran we can respond with military force but that is only if. But on the nuclear deal European Countries are sticking with iran calling the agreement a major contribution to stability in the region in stix trading system deliver enough economic benefits to keep iran from abandoning the treaty perhaps north but its been described as the last chance paper of an aljazeera all tensions between iran and the United States has increased since president ronald Trump Took Office 2 and a half years ago trump pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal in may last year he said iran was a threat and a new plan was needed he reimpose sanctions 3 months later to squeeze irans economy this april he designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Branch of irans armed forces a terrorist organization a month later the white house deployed warships to the gulf in response to unspecified iranian threats then blamed iran for the sabotage of commercial ships and waters off the United Arab Emirates iran denied involvement last thursday iran shot down a u. S. Drone it said was in its airspace the u. S. Said it was not trump said he was minutes away from retaliating on 3 iranian sites but changed his mind in order to avoid iranian fatalities or Mark Fitzpatrick is the director of the Nonproliferation Program International Institute for strategic studies hes also spent 26 years at the u. S. State Department Joins us live now from washington good to have you with us on the news hour so obviously this meeting in vienna comes at a crucial time for developments in the gulf region we know that iran has said that they will reduce their commitments under the nuclear deal if the remaining signatories dont take concrete measures to counter the impact of these crippling u. S. Sanctions does todays meeting go far enough. You know iran is its hard to judge exactly what iran will do i think that they probably will go ahead and exceed some of the limits of the deal because europeans have been talking about this inspects mechanism for months and months now its taken so long to operationalize to actually facilitate any trade that i think the iranians have lost patience and yes i think they will be starting to break out of the limits imposed by that 2015 deal how does europe then respond right so i think what do you ron is going to do initially will not be so major theyre going to exceed by a little bit this cap on how much low enriched uranium its its a reversible step so if the europeans can actually provide for some trade then iran could step back europeans will have to respond in some way to even a little bit of an excess but it wont be a it wont be a major sanctions that they will come on july 7th when if iran follows through with its threat to increase the enrichment level to near weapons usable uranium that would that would be a bigger problem for the europeans and they would have to impose bigger sanctions then right and it is the i. A. E. A. That determines that so presumably then the International Community i mean we know where the u. S. Stands but there are many signatories will some sort of automatic measures under the deal kind of come into place once the i. A. E. A. Confirms noncompliance. Well thats thats what the deal a cost for the automatic snapback provisions but with the United States no longer in the deal who will call for that snap back where the you will the europeans call ford and which of the other parties will impose the snapback measures of russia and china wont. So it depends on how serious he runs violations are. Whether the europeans will will snap back the sanctions provisions and thats why i say i think i think what iran is doing just today probably isnt so serious but july 7th it will be more serious and then the europeans will have to respond more forcefully. And what about us President Donald Trump because he has said that he is open to some sort of negotiation or diplomacy but the preconditions and the demands that his administration particularly certain key figures in his cabinet and making all of iran are a complete nonstarter they would never be acceptable to the iranians so does it mean that they are on a path towards conflict even if that is not the intention. It certainly does look like theyre on a path to conflict as youve said and i dont think its the intention of either party its a little bit unclear whether those demands the secretary of state might come pail made were preconditions he said theyre not preconditions to meeting theyre just what the United States would demand whence they meet but i think that the reason the iranians dont think President Trump is serious about wanting to talk is that he says he wants a talk and then he sanctions the Supreme Leader of iran and he imposes additional sanctions thats not a way to start off negotiating in good faith so that they just dont trust him and i saw a report the other day who said the french also dont believe that mr trump really wants to talk with the iranians thank you very much Mark Fitzpatrick from the international for strategic studies for sharing your analysis with us this evening well in all the stories are following United States government believes that last months trying to tax against pipelines in saudi arabia could have been launched from iraq rather than yemen this according to the wall street journal now their report is saying that official u. S. Sources claim groups backed by iran operating in southern iraq are responsible up until now yemens who sees it believed to have been behind the attacks on tuesday iraqi Prime Minister he said that iraqi intelligence agencies and air force that confirm the drones what not launched from iraq so john hendren joins us live now from washington a denial there from the Iraqi Government john 1st of all tell us what the u. S. Is saying happened and then also irans response here. Despite that out right denial from iraq from iraq the u. S. Insists that this is the latest provocation by iran against the United States and it increases this escalation that has been going on my pump a. O. The secretary of state has asked the Prime Minister of iraq to ensure that iraq is not used as a new staging ground against the u. S. And forces you as you just mentioned there the iraqi Prime Minister abdullah. Abdullah mahdi has said this is absolutely didnt happen heres the words we use regardless of the u. S. Reports our intelligence agencies in the reports of the Iraqi Air Force command have confirmed that none of this has happened its important to note that iraq and iran have grown much closer together since they were bitter enemies and engaged in a war in the 1980 s. But what this really clarifies is that despite the close relationship the u. S. Has had with iraq since the invasion in 2003 the Iraqi Government simply doesnt trust the americans word and they are asking for more evidence. And of course this comes as the diplomatic standoff but when the u. S. And iran is saying to escalate how do these reports of war kind of military activity in attacks in the region and how does this affect tensions. Well the cynical view is that the u. S. Is drumming up another reason to escalate this conflict for a potential military confrontation between the 2 countries the u. S. View of course is that these are actual legitimate attacks that have been increasing from iran and iranian allies militia members and others that have increased the tensions but as you mention theres been the downing of the global hawk there was this sabotage of 6 commercial ships in the gulf of oman which the u. S. Has blamed on iranians u. S. Rockets the u. S. Suspects that iranians were behind iranian militia members were behind rockets that hit the green zone
