The hottest on record. Somebody needs to go to jail. Mistrust and anger run deep in flint, michigan after a water crisis that devastated the community. The defending champions usa beat f france in the womens quarter cup finals, in south africa was there second there second match. [applause] welcome to the program. Our top story, european powers have not done enough to help iran avoid crippling sanctions. After talks in vienna on the billed asmeeting was the last chance to save the iran nuclear agreement. Paul brennan reports. Vienna015, teams came to to sign and seal the deal. Four years later, they are trying to save it. Germany,china, france, and russia have announced a complex is operational to let European Countries trade with iran while avoiding u. S. Sanctions. To ran has set a deadline, when it plans to begin enriching uranium if oil exports are not resumed. It was a positive and constructive meeting. Step forwardt is a , but it is still not enough. It is still not meeting irans expectations. China has also hit out at the u. S. For its unilateral action. Unilateralt the imposition of sanctions. For us, the Energy Security is import of oil the is important to chinese Energy Security and the likelihood of the people. The u. S. Ent trump toke out of the deal last year. He is pressuring the european signatories to do the same. The u. S. Is demanding iran must abide by the deal and eliminate its enriched uranium. Exportedhe past uranium to stay within the limits. Sanctions prevent that. The special envoy is touring capitals to muster support. On friday, he was in london. We are trying to reestablish deterrence against iran and putting ourselves in a position where if we are attacked by iran , we can respond with military force. European countries are sticking with iran, calling the agreement a major contribution to stability. Can the trading system deliver enough economic benefits to keep iran from abandoning the treaty . Perhaps not, but it has been described as a last chance. Tensions between iran and the u. S. Have increased as President Trump took office. Trump old out of the 2015 nuclear deal in may last year and said iran was a threat and a new plan was needed. He reimposed sanctions three months later to squeeze irans economy. He designated the revolutionary guard a terrorist organization. A month later, the u. S. Deployed warships in response to unspecified iranian threats. Trump blamed iran for the sabotage of commercial ships in the waters off the uae. Iran denied involvement. Thursday, iran shot down a u. S. Drone it said was in its airspace. Trump said he was minutes away from retaliating on three iranian sites, but changed his mind to avoid iranian for tallies. The director of the Nonproliferation Program for strategics studies has spent 26 years at the state department and joins us live now from washington. Obviously this meeting in vienna comes at a crucial time for developments in the region. We know iran has said they will reduce their commitment 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 . Is hard to judge exactly what iran will do. I think they will go ahead and exceed some of the limits of the deal. Europeans have been talking about this mechanism for months and months now. Long toaken so facilitate any trade that i think the iranians have lost patience. Out i think they will break of the limits imposed by the 2015 deal. How does europe respond . Right. I think what iran will do initially will not be so major. They will exceed by a little bit this cap on how much enriched uranium. It is a reversible step. If the europeans can provide for some trade, then iran could step back. Europeans will have to respond in some way to even a little bit of the excess, but not major sanctions. That day will come on july 7 if iran follows through with its threat to increase the enrichment level to near weaponsusable uranium. That would be a bigger problem for the europeans, and they would have to impose bigger sanctions then. It is the iaea that determines that. Presumably the international community, the remaining signatories, will automatic measures under the deal kind of come into play once the iaea confirms noncompliance . Well, that is what the deal calls for, the automatic snapback provisions, but with the u. S. No longer in the deal, who will call for that snapback . Will the europeans call for it . Which of the other parties will impose the snapback measures . Russia and china wont. It depends on how serious irans violations are whether the europeans will snapback the sanctions provisions. That is why i say i think what iran is doing today probably isnt so serious, but july 7, it will be more serious and europeans will have to respond forcefully. What about donald trump . He has said that he is open to some sort of negotiation or diplomacy, but the preconditions and the demands his administration, particularly certain key figures in his cabinet, are making of iran are a complete nonstarter and will never be acceptable to the iranians, so does it mean they are on the path to conflict even if that is not the intention . It certainly does look like they are on a path to conflict. I dont think it is the intention of either party. It is unclear whether those demands that mike pompeo made were preconditions. He said they are not preconditions to meeting, just what the u. S. Would demand once they meet. The reason the iranians dont think President Trump is serious about wanting to talk is that he says he wants to talk, then sanctions the Supreme Leader of iran and imposes additional sanctions. That is not a way to start off negotiating in good faith, so they dont trust him. I saw a report yesterday that said the french dont believe mr. Trump really wants to talk with the iranians. Thank you very much. In other stories, the u. S. Government believes last months drone attacks against pipelines in saudi arabia could have been launched from iraq, rather than yemen. Official u. S. Sources claim groups backed by iran operating in southern iraq are responsible. Houthis have the been thought to have been behind the attack. Iraqi intelligence agencies and air force confirmed the drones were not launched from iraq. We are joined live now from washington. A denial from the Iraqi Government. Tell us what the u. S. Is saying what happened, and also irans response. Despite the outright denial insists thise u. S. Is the latest provocation by iran against the u. S. It increases this escalation that has been going on. Asked the Prime Minister of iraq to ensure iraq is not used as a new staging ground against the u. S. , theu just mentioned there said Prime Minister has this absolutely did not happen. Here are the words he used. Reports,s of the u. S. Our intelligence agencies and the reports of Iraqi Air Force command have reported that none of this has happened. It is important to know that iraq and iran have grown closer together since they were bitter enemies and engaged in a war in the 1980s, but what this 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 and are asking for more evidence. As ais also comes diplomatic standoff between the u. S. And iran, as it is starting to escalate. How are these reports of more military activity in the tax in the region, how does this affect tensions . Well, the cynical view is the u. S. Is drumming up another reason to escalate this conflict for a potential military confrontation between the two countries, the u. S. View is that these are actual legitimate attacks that have been increasing from iran and iranian allies, militia members and others that have increased tensions, but there has been the downing of the global hawk, this sabotage of six commercial ships in the gulf of oman, which the u. S. Has blamed on iranians. The u. S. Suspects that iranians were behind iranian militia members behind rockets that hit the green zone in baghdad. There have been attacks that have continued on u. S. Bases in iraq. The u. S. Also suggests this could mean that iran is closer to the houthis in yemen then had originally been believed. Iran denies all of this, but whichever way you look at it, the tensions are going up. Thanks very much. The news hour by from london. Much more still ahead. Mexicos president announces an economic boost to help migrants in t the country. As money pours intnto rebuild syria,a, activivists warned thad funds are being diverted to Security Forces guilty of torture and murder. Faces on the f1 track. We have the action from austria. It is supposed to unite the worlds most powerful economies, but regional tensions and trade wars have dominated the g20 summit in japan. Xi jinping made a veiled criticism of the u. S. President hours before they were meant to hold talks, talking about his bowling practices, but it is Donald Trumps meeting with the russian president that has stolen the spot light. Even a fist bump between japanese leader shinzo abe, narendra modi, and u. S. President donald trump, even though prior to their g20, trump criticized both. And at a g20 leaders family photo, trump was against mine with Saudi Arabians crown prince mohammad bin salman, even though u. S. Intelligence, congress, and the United Nations said the kingdom was responsible for the murder of jamal khashoggi. Also notable, chinese president xi seeking out trump in the midst of their ongoing trade were to shake hands. That gesture was apparently lost on trump. Of digitals defense policies, trump blamed the government for intellectual property theft and risks to 5g security. As we expand digital trade, we must ensure the resilience and security of our networks. This is essential to our shared safety and prosperity. Process will be eased, but we also need to respect the sovereign rights of each nation. The differences foreshadow a potentially tense meeting between the leaders of the worlds two largest economies on saturday. Lets hope for resolving the u. S. China trade war, but looming over all of this was trumps meeting with Vladimir Putin. It is their first meeting since Robert Mueller released his report detailing russian interference in the 2016 16 u. S. Election. Instead of forcefully confronting putin, trump issued a lighthearted warning. Dont meddle in the election. A white house, out of the meeting with putin notes the pair discussed armscontrol, butuela, syria, and iran no mention of election interference. Halfhearted word of caution to putins unexpected is inviting criticism, trumps failure to forcefully confront russias leader. A senior fellow at the center for International Governance and innovation and professor policy at the university of waterloo in canada joins us now. Hearing that tomorrow will be a big day for President Trump and xi when they meet. There has been hope for some progress on trade, but complicating this dispute is the ei. Blacklisting of huaw are we likely to see any movement on this trade war . It is difficult to see movement. Negotiations have been broken down since april. A success may be that trump does not lead by slapping on more tariffs. So no movement be successful. It is a difficult situation. The two countries have their populist base. Toald trump has used china blame for deindustrialization and intellectual property being a big component of the Technology Transfer forced on american companies. China, this is a government under xi who is trying to get china beyond being a factory for the world, but also with its made in china 2025 High Technology and high value added types of production. They need access to the american markets, and having huawei shut out of american components will not help one of these Golden National champions achieve the kind of success the chinese want to see. Exactly. China needs access to u. S. Markets, even though both sides will not want to be seen backing down domestically or internationally. China does have more to lose in this. At that potentially bring about some concessions on their part . Could that potentially bring about some concessions on their part . Chineseould argue the economy is hurting more than the u. S. The American Economy on paper looks good, stock markets hi, unemployment low, inflation is steady, so the sanctions dont seem to be hurting. The American Farmers with soybean restrictions is one area, but on the others, china seems to be hurting more. It is not doing as well. Growth may notdp be achievable next year. They keep getting downgraded. There are lots of signs that goes to cities and other economic stagnation ghost cities and other signs of economic standing. China is determined to achieve the goals that has of being a high value added production center, so i dont think they will turn away from their demands. I want to ask you about comments from Vladimir Putin that liberalism has become obsolete. Was quick to respond to that. We covered a story with the rightwing government italy refusing to allow a ship with immigrants the dock. President putin has a point when he cites the rise of nationalism and populism and the impact it is having. Ironic, andwhat is this interview with putin, it is nationalist,list rightwing agenda proposes. It is clear russia and putin support this ideology. That populismre exists, but he is not saying how had supported and funded our apologies for the technical problem there. Of course, we did mention that boat full of migrants and refugees currently stranded at sea near italy. I want to tell you more about that. The captain of the rescue ship has been refused permission to dock in italy. They say the conditions are worsening for the 40 people on board rescued from the mediterranean. Threatened is being with arrest and her ship and pounded if she enters harbor on the italian island. We have this report. This is the latest symbol of the refugee crisis on europes sovereign frontier. The standoff continues over where to take 40 migrants rescued from the sea off the coast of libya more than two weeks ago. On this ship, refused permission to dock. Italys government adamantly refuses to accept responsibility, endorsed by the court of human rights this week. So the migrant ordeal continues so close to land. Is sleeping on a metal floor and waking up every morning and realizing you are still in the middle of the ocean. It is not easy. We have engaged with italy, czechoslovakia, germany, and malta, but also the eu commission. None of these actors actually has any interest. Two migrants were evacuated for medical reasons friday. With the mediterranean sweltering in a heat wave, conditions are deteriorating for the remaining people on board. Italys interior minister is not moved by their plight. This is an outlaw crew and an outlaw captain that must be stopped, arrested, and expelled. This ship three times ignored rules and common sense. They are using 40 human beings as a bargaining chip. I expect arrests, blocks, and expulsions. I expect the European Union to wake up. He said the migrants can do disembarked, but only if they had to germany or the netherlands. The ship faces the possibility of being impounded in the ships captain prosecuted. The captain can face charges of 50,000 euro and criminal investigation, even though she followed International Law risking people at sea and bringing them to a place of safety. Toare proud of our captain take personal consequences for doing the right thing, following the law of the sea, and bringing these people to safety. The eu in brussels says it is trying to formulate a relocation pan plan. Ministers met on the sideline of the g 20 summit in japan. Despite the hardline stance, 500 migrants have landed on italys coast over the past 16 days, but not these 40, not yet. The cultural mediator on board the ship knew the coast joins us now. We appreciate you taking the time for this. Can you tell us your precise location at this point in time and who is on board with you . We are one nautical mile off the coast in territorial waters. We have 40 rescued people on board. Disembarked on medical grounds. You have 23 crewmembers. Tell us about the conditions on board. Conditions are at an alltime low. It is clear after that rescue at sea that people are in a state of emergency, and it must end his soonest possible. That. W also states it is getting more and more desperate. It is clear to all the guests on board and the crew we are caught up in a political game, when in fact what are captain has done and with the crew has done is to uphold International Maritime law and humanitarian law, both at once. We know we are on the right side of the law here, but we are surrounded by the coast guard, and there is a threat of legal action. That are shipped getting seized. If the situation stays the same, obviously the government is refusing permission to dock, will you have to find a way to come ashore anyway . When will you make that decision . I dont know when that decision is coming. That it haslem taken 16 days for a political solution. We expect the european Member States that coordinated between themselves and follow the law, but whatever may happen next is that these people cannot stay on in fact,forever, and there must be responsibility taken by the authorities and bring this rescue to its proper end. It is difficult to know what is going to happen next in your situation now, but will you continue with these journeys . You are being put in a difficult decision. You are rescuing these vulnerable immigrants and refugees, but then you end up stranded at sea because you are not allowed to come ashore. There is no mechanism in europe to facilitate that, beyond just calls for this to end and calls for governments to allow migrants to come ashore, which go ignored. Well, there is a mechanism. [indiscernible] as a whole, at the eu level, the responsibility is being pushed further and further away. Is it is means for us becoming more common, but that does not change the fact that sea rescue is a duty. Volunteers are going up to do this in the absence of our governments. The alternative is people continue to drown. Eveneath rate is rising though the absolute numbers are at the lowest point. Criminalization and the lack of political will [indiscernible] thank you for speaking with this. Sea watchthree three with 40 people on board, refused permission to dock in italy. The mexican president has announced a plan to provide 40,000 job to migrants as they wait for their u. S. Asylum cases to be decided. Factories have been struggling with labor shortages. He has doubled the minimum wage, but it is still lower than the pay in the Central American countries these migrants are fleeing. The president says he is the jobs will bring relief to destitute migrants at the border. We are lined now from mexico city. John, what more do we know about to beroposal for migrants allowed to get some sort of work , perhaps even earn an income while they wait for their asylum request to be processed . We dont know very much. What you just talked about the president saying about these 40,000 jobs, he said that in response to a question from us in a morning press conference. Donek what is going to be about these people who went to the united states, crossed over, asked for asylum, and werent allowed to stay in the u. S. While they waited for their requests to be processed, but were sent back across the border to mexico. We asked the question of him because so far there has been very little done by mexican authorities. We just got back from tijuana. There are 5000 people asylumseekers, most of them from guatemala, honduras, el salvador, who have been put back across the border. We spoke to some of them. There were no government shelters put up to receive them. That has been taken care of by churches or private organizations. There were no job programs, no health benefits, and mexicos president had promised in tijuana that those things would be provided for them, so we had trouble getting any government to respond to our requests about what was going to be done. We finally got that from the president himself, but that is yet to happen. This is what he said. Employment, we will sign an agreement for jobs. Factories in northern mexico are offering 40,000 jobs. They can employ 40,000 migrants. We will sign this agreement and there wont be any legal issues. Theye solving the issue so can be hired without so much paperwork and hassle. Situation is that most of these people have their next Court Hearing in the u. S. Many months from now. The question is what are they going to do in mexico without the shelter and these benefits and without the jobs in the meantime. The mexican president seems to be indicating that they will towards providing answers to those questions. More still ahead on the program. Murderer, race is, and prisoner for life. A u. S.
