Flight recorders have been recovered ukraine says its investigators have been given access to. A strain ians patience where protesters try to gauge the governments handling of the last crisis as people in the countryside brace for more places. These sorts of jets just will not allow that this years Olympic Games in tokyo will bring you the details of the i. O. C. Has new rules on political protests. Im still going to welcome to the program the u. S. Government has revealed a new sanctions against Iranian Industries and senior regime officials secretary of state might pump treasury secretary Steve Menuhin made the announcement i describe the sanctions as a response to be around. Missile attack against u. S. Troops in. Front of the us assassination of a Senior Iranian general last use the sanctions targeting 8 senior officials of these not really us as revolt in the attack against u. S. Troops. Look at the views from the United States and the European Union from d. W. Correspondence published in washington and Terry Schultz in brussels welcome both lets start with you pablo tell us more about these new sanctions hi phil well youre youve sort of said some of it already some of these individuals who are going to be targeted are involved in irans financial construction manufacturing textile and mining sectors and the sanctions are also against 8 rainy and who are worried described as being involved in de stabilizing activities now this the idea behind this are is to basically coat billions of dollars of revenue for the iranian government run it came it was announced in a News Conference here in washington which was very much geared towards as well the reasons why the assassination of that the iranian general took place in the 1st place and secretary pompei a was put under a lot of pressure but he said once again and justified once again saying that he had specific information on an imminent threat and those threats included attacks on u. S. Embassies so very much justifying as well why these new sanctions were being put in place to the trumpet ministration has said the the end game here is to try and bring iran back to the Nuclear Negotiating Table with missiles negotiating table but what makes the white house think more of the same because sanctions have been in place for some time what makes the trumpet ministration think that more of the same will do the trick. Well the trumpet ministration and President Trump of particular have really believed in this maximum pressure idea they believe that putting further sanctions on iran will strangle the economy even further were seeing that with these new far reaching as sanctions which are being put on the country adding to the long list already in place and President Trump even said it this week that the idea is to sit down to get back to the negotiating table and sit down with iran and come up with a new deal he hasnt been shy about the fact that he doesnt believe in the previous agreement from 2015 and the idea is now that these new sanctions will lead iran and perhaps with the support of some of the u. S. Allies to a new deal but of course the u. S. Administration the Trump Administration has been unclear at times over what the end game is in fact with regards to iran to. Brussels lets bring you in the nato secretary general has been to you Foreign Ministers meeting the u. S. Has called for more nato support in the middle east what has been the nato response. President trump in fact called secretarygeneral stoltenberg just a few moments after he announced in a White House Press conference that he wanted nato to become more involved in the middle east and secretary general stoltenberg said ok we will do more we can do more and in fact ive just learned that nato has dispatched a delegation to the state department who this group is there now talking with state about what more can be done now what nato is offering is is more counterterrorism work and im not sure thats exactly what President Trump had in mind but anyway the people who actually do the work are there discussing it now so nato is taking this request seriously and im sure well do Everything Possible to to try to help help the United States but these are not going to be combat operations theres no way the 28 other nato allies would agree to any such thing. This Foreign Ministers meeting what was the agreed position today i suppose that the wider question is does anyone besides the e. U. Care think it does. Care what they think. You know i could hear in the comments from the Foreign Ministers and even from Foreign Policy chief Joseph Burrell that they are slowly accepting that perhaps they are not going to be able to keep the deal live although thats still very much the unified position even as the Foreign Ministers were meeting as we heard from washington more sanctions were being piled on iran and that puts pressure on the in the European Union as well as on tehran because the e. U. One of the e. U. s obligations under the Iran Nuclear Deal is to increase trade with with iran and thats impossible with u. S. Sanctions threatening both the government of iran and any e. U. Company doing business there so this is a very difficult road and in fact my colleague max under just interviewed the lothian foreign minister who said lets face it without the u. S. This is probably dead so we may be hearing more about that and perhaps there is sort of a new realization that there need to be completely new negotiations including the u. S. And possibly getting it back on the table teri schultz in brussels problem for us in washington thank you iran has denied western allegations that one of its missiles that down the ukrainian jetliner that crashed on site on canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was one of a number of National Leaders to say that evidence from multiple intelligence sources suggest an iranian surface to have missile hit the allies shortly after takeoff or 176 people on board most of them in training and canadian were killed in the crash which came just hours after iran launched an attack against u. S. Targets in neighboring iraq the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder have been recovered ukraine says its investigators have been given access to the. Mobile phone footage verified by 2 Media Outlets appears to show the missile exploding near the plane before it crashed. Western leaders say the evidence points towards an Iranian Missile scores of canadian nationals were killed in the crash Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended a vigil in the capital auto earlier he announced what he believes brought down the plane. We have intelligence from multiple sources including our allies and our own intelligence. The evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by in a rainy and surface to air missile. This may well have been unintentional. This new information reinforces the need for a thorough investigation into this matter. U. S. Officials have told us media they have a quote high degree of certainty that it was a missile that hit the plane President Donald Trump echoed the theory that it might have been an accident iran vehemently denies the theory that the plane was downed by an Iranian Missile. Its not that the thing that is clear to us and that we can say with certainty is that this plane was not hit by a missile. As i said last night the plane was on fire for more than one and a half minutes the end of the russian of floyds shows that the pilot was attempting to return. To us that the Ukrainian International Airlines Flight was traveling from tehran to kiev with 176 people on board the boeing 737 crashed in good visibility just minutes after takeoff. Most of the victims were from iran many of them dual iranian canadian citizens due to take a connecting flight to canada western leaders are demanding full transparency from tehran the focus is now on the black box flight recorders they could hold the key to revealing the cause of the crash. Has been Steven Wright is professor of systems that finland set time for University Welcome to d w professor what do you make of the images that have emerged that appear to show the plane being hit by some sort of misfile good evening the image just off say. A very striking and so much that you can say what pace to be. Some projectiles missiles climbing up to our situation and then theres some forward dots and i should. It doesnt it look to me it looks like a missile hitting an aircraft obviously theres not much information that we can see and so much that its dark. One of the reasons why you can see it so clearly is that you can far from the exhaust of the missile seems to be captured rather well with the image so thats what weve seen the interesting bit from my perspective is in all its time and it was actually a missile the investigators are going to need to look very carefully now at the wreckage. And tell us about the investigation i believe its going to be international so who will control it who will be involved and who will be responsible for what. Well the actual form of the investigation this was determined many years ago with something called the Chicago Convention which quite a number of signatories signed it 1940 full and as the name suggests it gives you an idea where it was signed and its all about the freedoms in order to cross one of the things that was agreed in 44. 00 was whos going to do this so the idea is that this is taking place in i. Cough this crash in a given country so in this case its iran so there will be investigations from there the aircraft is owned and operated by the ukrainians so clearly they will take a heavy focus here its interesting really the manufacturer also has an interest and a name thats very important very valuable into the investigation so its this Team Approach right now to complicate matters a little bit more because we think its been downed by a missile this time introduces the potential elements all criminality which means that in order to determine. It was a missile from this location by this person you then have to ensure the continuity of evidence but the police to so therefore that becomes very very forensic in how we approach this thank you so much for joining us professor. Professor stephen by professor of fact craft systems of tampering university in.

To taiwan which is preparing for president ial and parliamentary elections on saturday the vote will set the course for relations between the democratic self ruled island and its autocratic neighbor china which claims taiwan is a chinese territory relations with china have been a Major Campaign issue so how do people in taiwan view that superpower neighbor. Because this report from the ptolemies kim man of the coast of china. This is the border of taiwan but this time this is here we are on Cayman Island where you ok surely see the political rivals china and taiwan flying side by side. One cooperative project is the stress of war which stores water pumps from china that helps fill some of needs it 2018 cumin turned to china to resolve Persistent Water shortages. Well manages to waterworks here for him interaction its more than Just Department see it shapes his everyday life. Theres a chinese idiom that says a close neighbor is more helpful than distant family the pipeline is groundbreaking uses cross straight hostility and sets a precedent to connect our electricity grids or even build a bridge in the future we want friends instead of enemies many on the island. Which most likely not the majority of taiwanese. Parliamentary candidates from the Pro Independence party is skeptical his opposition to china has raisen beijings influence has been the central issue ahead of this we cant get action the whole says it was only one Home Counties send in the political turmoil that he made up his my. I will leaflet speech of the hong kong protests because may trigger a strong sense of national doom looking at the tragic outcome of a taiwanese have to think about whether we should still see closer ties with your family tell you in regime behind hong kong. This is taiwans closest place to china which is only a row 5 kilometers away it used to be the front line in conflicts that case ago that military very case was left but nowadays china is trying to narrow this taiwan not only comically but also politically how when this authorities see these threats and has been in this so saying yourself on china over the past 4 years. China a friend or foe. Has vowed to unify selfloading taiwan on the one country 2 systems china. If necessary by force but these idea was rejected by taiwans president who is seeking free election. Because china friendly rival hungary or you has a different response to beijings intimidation tactics. Ties Economic Cooperation which one and his friends also support they largely rely on china for a living. But we are used to perceive china as a threat but not now are still gradual progress when i got in touch with the chinese and we want a peaceful and prosperous lives instead of constructing a socalled threat i dont care whether there will be unification or infiltration this is not what my generation will encounter. Taiwan and china to interact with we must be treated fairly i mean state to state relations what kind of price are we willing to pay for that taiwan should be more aware of chinas sharp elbows from anywhere else in the world because were on the front line we have the only place where china wants to take control of. Decades ago because inside this iconic mark used to broadcast into china propaganda. Is now a Tourist Destination but the message of freedom and democracy is the most distinctive difference across the strait just as timely as ever. International. Become 80 years this year didnt new guidelines that will ban athletes from kneeling in protest or making any kind of political statement at this years games in tokyo the Committee Says anyone who breaks process rules will face disciplinary action but often support groups say that silencing participants should never be tolerated. Over 50 years ago american sprinters tommie smith and john carlos famously did the black power salute at the Olympic Games in 1968 bringing attention to the then plight of africanamericans in the u. S. In recent years there has been a rise in political activism by athletes most notably call them kapur nick and Megan Rapinoe last august 2 u. S. Athletes were placed on probation for 12 months for evidence at the Pan American Games in peru considered by some to be a warning ahead of the Tokyo Olympics International Olympic Committee President thomas bach said previous protests had no effect and the mission of the Olympic Games is to unite and not to divide box cautioned athletes any kind of boycott for whatever reason is against the submission of the Olympic Games and i was there to respect the supreme neutrality or the Olympic Games and by not seeing them. Or their state for. Political purposes potential violations of the new guidelines according to the i. O. C. Would be evaluated by the athletes national Olympic Committee and the respective International Sport federation disciplinary action will be taken on a case by case basis athletes however will be free to express themselves during interviews and on platforms like twitter and instagram some ethnic groups have criticized the new rules calling it a violation of human rights and a double standard they point to the i. O. C. President jacques support of a joint north and south korean team at the 2018 Winter Olympics as an example of pushing politics at the games amid rising political tensions ruled why will athletes abide by the new policy set by the i. O. C. Well have our answer when the games start in. Tokyo on the 24th of july. Lets get more on this from a lot of immunity from d. W. Sports are welcome or are they so why has the i. O. C. Said these new guidelines well the i. O. C. Has as long as outlawed political protest at the games and rule 50 of the olympic charter and basically what it all comes down to is this kind of juggling act that the i. O. C. Is doing with having all the countries of the world come together one event that of course is going to involve countries that have especially poor relations at times and of course they dont want to become the forum for disagreements and potential conflicts or need to look at whats going on in the usa in iran at the moment of course with those rising tensions the i. O. C. Does not want the olympics so you have become the forum for those kind of conflicts but it also comes down to the backlash thats often associated with these kind of political protests the backlash is that can involve you know responses dropping out people stopping watching and of course that all comes back to lower income and that is also very important rooms additional money so important so why is this likely to stop awfully from taking a stand i think it might make some athletes think twice about what theyre about to do but ultimately i think theyve always faced consequences for standing up for what they believe in whether its in terms of their ability to compete whether they get banned or dropped from a team whether its financial they lose sponsors and what have you or whether its just alienating a portion of their fan base that doesnt agree with them and so i think ultimately if a if an athlete believes strongly enough in something i dont see these guidelines stopping them really its a morally loaded question that is the i. O. C. Rights to say the olympics should be politically neutral this very much divides opinion if you go into any political post made by an athlete on social media on instagram and twitter or what have you youll see a lot of people responding just saying stick to sports i dont think thats really possible i think athletes ultimately are people and people often are political and that means youre never going to be able to rule out completely telling some athletes that theyre not allowed to party. Best instead of the place is like telling the nazis braith and thomas like himself has said that you know the olympics is the only show that brings everybody together but that of course is what makes it such a big platform for these athletes to get their views across all over murdered thank you.
