Big mistakshooting down a u. S. Drone but adds it may not have been intentional. I have a feeling it was a mistake made by somebody that shouldnt have been doing what ey did. Jane also, the president has been talking trade with canada as Justin Trudeau visits the white use. D, dont look down. We talked to the youngesperson to ever climb el capitan, one of the most daunting rocks in america. Jane for those watching on pbs and around the globe, welcome to world news america. The u. S. And iran find themselves increasingly at odds, this time over the shooting dn of a u. S. Drone over the street of hormuz. While the pentagon says it was unprovoked, iran says a planent flewits airspace. President trump called it a big mistake and he has been meeting congressional leaders to discuss. Gary odonoghue hasore. Gary the u. S. And iran agree on o thing, that an american drone was shot down by iran. They disagree whe it happened. This pentagon footage claims to showt was over International Waters 21 miles off irans coast. The iranians say it is in their airspace. The president s response o twitter, iran made a very big mistake. But during a meeting in the oval office with the canadi Prime Minister, he was definitely toning it down. It was a mistake made by someone who shouldnt have been doing what they did. I think they made a mistake and i am not just talking the country made a mistake, i think somebody under the command of the country madery mistake. Pressed on what his response will be you will find out. E u will find out. Gary this is thtest in a series of incidents that have inflamed tensions around the strait of hormuz, which carries 20 of the World Oil Production from the persian gulf to the open sea. La week, the u. S. Accused iran b of beingind attacks on 2 oil tankers, accusations the iranians deny. In wednesday, a war of words and actions. The u. S. Invited journalists to ntexamine the fragof mines they say were used to cripple the tankers. Last month, 4 other tankers were attacked while more moored off e united arab emirates. The u. S. Pointed the finger at iran. Irans leaders insisted they are not seeking war, but would defend their borders. On they announced they would monday soon pass the agreed limits for enriched uranium under the denuclearization treaty that President Trump withdrew from. It is a move that could drive an even deeper wedge between america and europe, which still supports the original deal. Companies are facing sanctions. R doing business with ir gary odonoghue, bbc news, washington. Jane for more, i spoke with kenneth pollack, a former cia analyst. He is now at the ame enterprise institute. Thank you for joining me. What is the likelihood of u. S. Retaliation and what are the options . Kennet it seems most likely the chances are low that thego u. S. Ig to retaliate militarily towards iran but we cant rule it out. We have an unpredictable president who has gotten himself in a real bind here. We dont know how he will react. What he has said throughout is that he is not looking for war with iran. H whwants is to renegotiate the 2015 nuclear deal and he is not going to be provok in fice. In all of this. But he is unpredictable. Jane is this the way to bring ire . To the negotiating tabl kenneth it is hard to know. we hat seen it been done. I am skeptical. My feeling is that trump policy towards iran is working but i am skeptical it will work. It is putting tremendous economic pressure on iran. That is forcing the iranians to take the steps to try tpush back on us. The iranians have consistently said they are not going to be forced to negotiate, they felt the original deal was unfair to lyem, they are not going to allow trump to bhem and we have to recognize it is up to iran to decide how muc it is willing to tolerate. In the past, it has been willing to tolerate a tremendous amount of pain, and they show no signs of being willing to come back to the table and renegotiate, giveh trump has done. Jane you say this is forcing iran to take these steps. This is very provocative behavior. This is a emendous gamble for them. What is their end game . Kenneth if i said that, i misspoke. That is not an accurate thing to say. Iran always has options. I dont what to justify their behavior but we dont know what they are thinking. At the veryan least, the ns are trying to create tension in the persian gulf and they are trying to jack up the price of oil. T that helm because they are looking for higher oil prices. It hurts the united states, which wants low oil prices. It certainly does focus the world on their problems. From irans perspective, for the last nine months the u. S. Has been putting pressure on them and the world has done nothing. This is their way of getting the world to Pay Attention and to say, we arin pain and unless you want us to do more of this,r you had beo something for us. Jane how do you deescalate . Kenneth this is where things get tricky. President trump has gotten himself into a box. He is a president who saihe didnt want war with iran, then took a series of bellicose steps towards iran, which i would argue were going to inevitably to produce a crisis. The smartest thing he could do is look the other way at what is goinon here and look towards the longterm, towards making the big problem is, we need to recognize irans actions are very dangerous. We dont want to come out of this with iran having attacked several dozen oil tankers and oil cilities in the persian gulf, never having suffered consequences. That is not going to be good for the middle east, the unitedst es, or the world. Jane thank you for joining me. An has dominated events at the white house today. Mr. Trump has been discussing trade with the canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. This week, mexico approved the new north american trade agreement. Mr. Trump insists it is a good deal for everyone, but not all democrats are convinced. The canadian Prime Ministers next meeting was with nancy pelosi. Justin trudeau says he hopes the deal will not have to be renegotiated further. We are pleased with the deal we were able togoecure that an outcomes for canadians and people in all three of our countries. We are concernedop that any ing of nafta could lead to not just lengthy further negotiations that we all were quite pleased were behind us, but also, may lead to worse outcomes for canadians a for canada. Jane barbara is our stateor departmentspondent and she joins me with more. How confident is canada that congress will pass this . Barbara mr. Trude came in to find out if it would happen. He said he had good conversations with nancy pelosi and told her the canadians think it is good deal and they offered to do anything they could to allay concerns the democrats had. He said they were concerned about possible reopening of the deal. They dont want that. He said it was a u. S. Issue and the canadians would not get involved. His concern is, canadas part of parliament adjourns at the end of the week and l be off for three or four months and they have to decide, do they vote quickly before they adjourn or based on what mr. Trudeau finds here . Jane lot of Donald Trumps interactions with world leaders, it hasnt been good with trudeau. A lot of insults have been thrown. How would you describe it now . Barbara he was asked about that, mr. Trudeau. Ere is the iconic moment year one ago, mr. Trump stormed out of the g7 meeting and called mr. Trudeau weak and dishonest because trudeau said he wouldnt be pushed into the agreement. That did his reputation no harm in canada, must say. They had a trade war over steel and aluminum tariffs, and both of them are keen to get the trade deal past. N they aree same page. When mr. Trudeau was asked about the relationship, he didnt go into personal issues. He said, the most important thing is the flow of goodsde across the b jane canada has been caught in the crossfire of the broader tariff war between china and the u. S. 2 canadian businessmen have been detained as part of that. What does canada want from the u. S. . Barbara mr. Trudeau was vague when he was asked that. He said there were conversations about china, about what he called arbitrary detention of these two canadians who were arrested in china after the canadians arrested a Senior Executive of a Technology Company at the request of the u. S. Because the americans want to try her for fraud charges. As it was seen as retaliation. Didnt go into specifics about what he asked mr. Trump, but mr. Trump said if he asks me to intervene with the chinese president at the g20, i am happy to do so. Jane can canada trust the u. S. As a trading partner . Barbara there is concern about the way mr. Trump deals with tariffs and how quickly things can change, but it is a long relationshno. Always so smooth, there has been a long dispute over lumber that was much before mr. Tru. But generally, stable and they are crossing their fingers that will be the undercurrent. Jane thanks for joining me. A quick look at the days other news. The u. S. Senate voted to block billions of dollars of arms sales to saudi arabia and other arab countries. This as the court of appeal in awndon ruled the British Government acted ully in the way it granted licenses to export arms to saudi arabia or for possible use in yemen. U. K. Lawyers say they will appeal. Alab raublican roy moore announced he will run for the u. S. Senate again. He narrowly lost special election in 2017 to fill the former attorney general Jeff Sessionss at. Last month President Donald Trump tweeted he thought the former judge could not win. In the u. K. , the race to be the next leader of the conservative party and the Prime Minister has been whittled down to 2. Jeremy hunt and Boris Johnson, who remains the front runner. They have five weeks to persuade Party Members to support them. I spoke with frank, our london correspondent. Oithanks forng me. How different are the two candidates . Frank temperamentally is t probab best example. People see jeremy hunt as a thoughtful, mature, reserved person. Boris johnson is the former foreign secretary. He is an outsized personality. He is similar to President Trump in certain ways in terms of his charisma, particularlyay he relates to a lot of the right wing of the toryarty. Yohewill see a contrast in t next month as they move around the United Kingdom talking abous thes, particularly brexit will be on the top of everyones mind. Jane jemy hunt admitted he is the underdog. How does he win it . Frank the way he probably tries to win it is to make the onestion of character, the issue with boris johns othnson is a politician who resonates with a of people. I have seen him speak to the conservative party at ace confer he is very funny, erudite, grean literary refs but people question his integrity. One of the issues is the promise of 350 Million Pounds going to the eu, much of that coming back to pay for the National Health services. That was misleading and it influenced the vote. Some people said they voted because they thought the u. K. Ge woulmoney back. The key for jeremy hunt is to raise questions, do you trust Boris Johnson . Jane do you think the contest will change now that the conservative rank and file get their turn to weigh in . Frank i think it is dnt. I am surprised to some degree that mr. Johnson did as well as he did among the members of parliament. Many members in the conservative party dont like him or trust him but i think some of the support came from the fact that they think he can win the next general election. The expectatn is, there will be a general election sooner than later because brexit is not resolved. When it goes to the hustings, it favors mr. Johnson, just as President Trump in a Republican Party does well. Th file the folks out on the hustings, the members are moreco ervative them the party itself in parliament. Jane if you were a betting man would you say both of them arein going to er brexit by the october deadline, or is that nonnegotiable . Frank i dont think i would bet on anything regarding brexit, even if i were a betting man. Brexit is incredibly difficult and complicated, and the idea, it has already ended the careers of tworime ministers. There is no sign that either of these men have come up with a magic formula to get this done by october. Would anybody be willing to take the u. K. Out of the eu without a deal at all . B that woudamaging to the u. K. Economy and the parliamentarians are against it. Although you will have a new Prime Minister, they sll face huge problems that have paralyzed politics in britain for close to three years. Jane put like that, you have to ask, why wld either of them want the job . Thank you for joining me. Do frank happy tt. Jane you are watching bbc world news america. St l to come, tough Economic Times amid regional insecurity. Wiley whpalestinians are ruggling to get by. Britains First Hydrogen train has been unveiled. It was developed by Birmingham University and train maker. Thees aim is to remove trains from the network. If trials are successful it could be operating within two years. It is the first of its kd, a british train powered by hydrogen. Abthis is t as green as a train gets. The hydrogen is stored in those tanks at high pressure. It is piped through this myriad of piping into the fuel cell, where it is mixed with oxygen from the air to create electricity. That, in turn, you c see the wiring, can drive the motors underneath the train, and can be stored in this giant battery back here. What we are trying to do is make a transport system that is low emission and the only thing that emits from here is pure water. It ll be used to test the technology. Pe is, hydrogen trains will be carrying passengers in two years time. Thnext challenge is to get a train ready to go on the mainline network. It will run on your regular train lines passing through stations. We will test the train in a normal working environment. Weave to get the equipment fitted underneath the train toworkin good standard, so these trains will be ready to go out for public use in two or three years. Making rail travel cleaner in britain is a priority and it will only be possible with this one. Rains like there are miles of railway riat will never be eleed and we want to eliminate diesel. Asked batteries dont work. This is. Jane the financial crisis in gaza and the west bank has deepened, according to the world bank, which says the economies are on the verge of collapse. One in three people is unemployed and almost a quarter of palestinians live in poverty. The u. S. And regional allies will meet next week to discuss econom conditions. The morningin commute ast ndearly for tens of thousas of palestinian workers. G rushto the israeli checkpoint. Thisui ber gets up at 3 00. Enhe has nine people dding on him. Theti economic sit isnt good. That is why we have to go to israel to work, because here, there are no job oppties. With the west bank economy in dire straits, it now relies heavily on these men. Israeli work permits are given after stringent security checks. They are highly sought after. But at this brewery, they say business could be buzzing if it werent for israeli restrictions. Helping to run this fairm, this man says without the state of their own, palestinians cane control theiiny. Palestinians are educated and hardworking and if they get the chance to be left alone, they could thrive and succeed. In gaza, few have that kind of hope. He is only 37 but life has taken its toll. He lives with his six children in one room. His family now relies on aid, 100 per month. That money isnt enough, he says. It just goes to payoff our debts. With financial woes at the heart of so much suffering he, it is easy to see why the u. S. Views money as a way to exert influence. For many palestinians, just talking about the economy before a political resolution to the conflict here is the wrong way around. Israel has been ready to embrace washingtons efforts as it pushes for its deal of the century, as long as its security is prioritized. That makes any breakthrough look unlikely. For him, nearing the end of a 16 hour day, only simple dreams matt he would like to build a house, buy car, be happy. Jane sailor is a 10yearold girl from colorado.
