For a good evening to you thanks for joining us here on r. T. International. Runs for major new sanctions on tehran including against the countrys supremum leader the ayatollah escalation comes in response to irans downing of a u. S. Military surveillance drone which the Islamic Republic claims violated its airspace. Todays action follows a series of aggressive behaviors by the Iranian Regime in recent weeks including shooting down of us from. The drovers i guess everyone saw that one. Many other things and many other things aside from the individual drone you saw the tankers and we know of other things that were done also which were not good and not appropriate if you dont succeed at 1st try try again washington is assuring us all that these new sanctions will be highly effective just like the ones you know all that came before the sanctions have been very effective in cutting all phones go into the or in other people and can only presume im not going to presume why theyre doing things but these are highly highly effective on locking up the iranian economy and the sanctions have been indeed highly effective at making iranian officials crack jokes at American Foreign policy their Foreign Ministry spokesperson poked fun at the whole idea saying that there was nothing left in iran for the u. S. To sanction anymore but the effectiveness of these new sanctions isnt the only thing washington might be a bit confused about one minute the u. S. Is out for punishment and the next its not sure if the people there sanctioning are the ones to blame at all and this was really clear in some of the Vice President mike pence his latest statements lets take a listen to a couple of them we expect the president to announce an additional round of sanctions in response to irans downing of an american unmanned vehicle the president also had doubts as to whether or not the downing of our Unmanned Aircraft was actually authorized at the highest levels now sanctions certainly are a far cry from the air strike that apparently stopped just moments before execution a strike which washington estimated may have killed around 150 iranian civilians if it were carried out lets not forget but some like senator Bernie Sanders think that trump shouldnt get the. It for that was president trying to decision this week to call off that strike the right one. So its like somebody sitting. Through basketful of paper than putting it out he helped create the crisis in the new stop the attacks and theres a little confusion it seems about why the punishing iran even among the u. S. Still seems to have spread to europe and some of the u. S. Allies always behind america when it comes to sanction iran yeah thats true this confusion and even disagreement between washington and its european allies goes all the way back 220000 when the trumpet ministration pulled out of the Iran Nuclear Deal and renewed sanctions on the Islamic Republic the signatories included the European Union and their officials were very upset about this unilateral withdrawal still secretary of state mike pompei o expects them to fall in line with the socalled Global Coalition against iran that he mentioned in his recent diplomatic visit to saudi arabia and the United Arab Emirates meanwhile what is trump saying about his allies lets take a lesson i dont care about the europeans europeans are going out and making a lot of money the europeans are fine but theyre going out and making a lot of money now if the formation of a Global Coalition seemed unlikely after those statements talks between the u. S. And iran are even more of a pipe dream on the one hand you have washington who says that says its ready for negotiations with iran without preconditions and on the other hand it says that sanctions on the head of irans Foreign Ministry will be in full force by next week the foreign minister. Zarif so our negotiations supposed to take place without preconditions if the foreign minister is already being penalized its hard to tell but it begs the question of whether theres been some sort of meat miscommunication between trumps war hawks and doves or if this is just part of the political strategy. Joined on the line by attorney middle east specialist welcome the new sanctions targeted round supremely there i mean what response would you anticipate. I thing and there is not going to be. Any response because iran has been under sanctions for more than 40 years this sanctioned essential are getting hard there are power there but iran learned. All these 40 years had who. Run the sanctions or if its more of this relation and wait and see for not only reigning in washington assert its waiting for round come to the negotiating table but the same time the suggesting that theyre going to sanction the top diplomat from iran next week is unlikely isnt it the story for will coming to sit down and talk when hes just been personally singled out. Thats the problem be a President Trump a since the beginning sometimes he push for them or sometimes he backs off not like lately he just sent that why should the american crew take the strait of hormuz because americans are not dependent off the floor of. The us its only lets not 15 percent for them whereas for china and japan is 91 percent for chain not 52 percent. And he said that basically. If you find that and youre not putting sanctions under Supreme Leader which at the beginning even who years ago he wasnt very much. For. Your he did it its not a good decision. Its not a contradiction theyre trying to you know get in a gay shay sions with a man who youre kind of forcing to the table now the contradiction youve got the u. S. Secretary of state. By all accounts in the middle east or trying to create some kind of Global Coalition against iran but the same time that donald trump saying he doesnt care about europeans theyre trying to you know win over friends in mainland europe is there a contradiction there. Its simply contradiction since the beginning because donald trump is hes Going Forward then he pulls off at the same time you have my company or pushing for the what the secret state and National Security adviser going to the middle east like at the same time and pushing for work and the president doesnt want to war he doesnt want to look at what michael. Recently at this Senate Hearing and he tries to push a lot that has been border into one its got a you and its authorization of the use of military force that this law has been or that in 2001 in order for the u. S. And every country that one of the season was part of the night 11 attack not uranian words were in that. Command. Had. You right so he tries to put in the senate to go to war with this with this law that has been boarded back in 2001 and president it isnt who are there and by that that you have some people make fun of him because they say that you he listened a lot to the fox news. Anchor and they say if you werent worried enough but now we do elections thats why. There isnt one of what war suddenly think the u. S. Officials really should get in one room sit down and discuss their plan of attack before they come out and say things publicly because another inconsistency weve. Weve got donald trump saying while signing the new sanctions that it was partially in response to the tanker attack and the drone downing at the same time you got mike pence his Vice President saying that the top team isnt really sure whether the drone downing was actually authorized at the highest level of iranian politics so what does that tell us about the way america imposes sanctions. What it tells us that its what is happening in the white house its that big miss washington these days to be missed not by the law but the one this year and that has to be made when when. Busy who would back from yet you was you know in the security room with. By their my camp your. John bolton and that you now have the director of cia and they didnt even. Know by the. They wanted to lunch in the back and they didnt have. One. Or the. Back so we can say that in washington its there in the west wing of the white its a big up their mess. Thanks for your time my guess is our attorney middle east specialist. Thank you very much. The parents of critically ill palestinian infants whove been taken out of gaza for better treatment in israel are being denied access to their children thats because permits are far harder to obtain for adults r. T. Met with the parents of 2 children who died or they were separated. Lawyer and going to i was 7 months pregnant and they diagnosed it as early labor but since i had an in vitro fertilization they didnt have the necessary facilities. And. My application was very urgent and i should have gotten approval very quickly from the Coordination Office because the lives of the mother or children could have been endangered but it took the coordination all those 5 days. To get close to him and they said my surgery went fine and the stitches would be removed in gaza i told them id least want to stay to breast feed the babies and they said no i kept crying it wasnt easy for me to leave them i didnt know they would leave or die and i went home devastated. One day i felt so bad i was exhausted and the same night i heard that one girl had died her name was malaki she died one week after i went home that. Fatah said im going with after a while they told me the other child was not doing well they didnt say he was dead then they said he had to sit in the blood then they told me that hes heart stopped. Someone called me from the cards Nation Office and told me you have 10 minutes to get ready and go pick up your daughter so my husband told me some cordon to go right now and pick her up the ticket shop so much during those flight. Psych had to endure a lot of suffering and depression but i think gone all of that went away when i saw my daughter. Israel justifies his land and sea blockade of gaza by arguing that it prevents local moves in groups and launching attacks the un though criticized it the israeli body responsible for coordination between the Palestinian Administration until of eve stressed to r. T. It assists in delivering Health Care Despite having no responsibility for its physicians for human rights israel wants an israeli medical and says most children travel without their mothers or fathers and according to them more than 7000 permits were issued for minors from gaza last year compared with fewer than 2000 issued for parents modulators from the then go told us more about the situation. There is no specific period. In inquiries for permits it can be one moment in it can be half a year we had cases where people waited for more than one year to affirm it or to have any kind of decision regarding their inquiry the situation between the kids and their parents in feeling for their sake logical and socially situation and we know theyre also influenced very covertly and the process of the treatment itself. The trump of ministrations peace plan for the middle east has been slammed for even being officially unveiled for allegedly trying to bribe palestinians into giving up certain political ambitions it offers them 50000000000. 00 worth of investment in exchange for key concessions. Thousands of palestinians are taking to the streets of gaza to protest against the peace plan demonstrators burned american flags and portraits of the u. S. President but the been mounted the words deal with the devil that abounding the complete boycott of the upcoming washington back east conference in bahrain is because they have explains why palestine isnt buying into the money talks. Is trump not generous its not fair and merciful who outs would offer palestinians such generous conditions such great perks and amazing bonuses that someone else is presumably going to pay for it dont call it the deal of the century for nothing you know and just as with all great deals its totally secret political side and the economic side are 2 very robust efforts our thought was that it was better to put the economic plan 1st it makes sense when you are offered a job anyone would 1st want to know how much you get paid rather than what the job is and this pays great 50000000000. 00 in investment though they have no idea where thats going to come from a 1000000 jobs in whats left of palestine unemployment slashed to shreds and still the palestinians are unhappy 1st lift the siege of gaza stop the israeli theft of our Land Resources and funds give us our freedom of movement and control over our own borders and space territorial waters etc then watch us build a vibrant prosperous economy as a free and sovereign people the plowden or well the pay will be discussed in bahrain this week and the palestinians arent going and neither of these release which isnt great considering that this is the palestinian israeli peace deal were not going to turn this workshop the Economic Situation should not be discussed before the political one is laws there is no political solution will not deal with an economic solution. What the palestinians need to understand is that the again some and get lose in this case you apparently lose most of your country but theyll make the gas and post really nice 40 kilometers of pristine beaches millions of tourists with great palestinian coups even oh yeah about losing half your country part under certain circumstances i think israel has the right to retain some but unlikely on of the west bank i get why people think this is going to be a deal that only the israelis could love i understand the perception of that i hope everyone will just give the space to listen and let it settle in a little bit yeah i forgot to mention draft of a plan have leaked and according to them palestinians will be forced to give up 60 percent of the west bank it will be forbidden for palestinians to have an army and theyll have to pay israel for protection for ever and if they refuse to go along the us will sanction them to kingdom come also they still have no idea who pays for all of this if its private investors the palestinians will then have to pay them back presumably if so in effect the palestinians have been asked to. Told to give up most of their country in exchange for a loan hill of the century more like deal of the millennium if you go by how absolutely one sided and absurd it apparently is all this is. Does not show that the us is. Fair. Mediator between the palestinians and the israelis basically referred to a mr burleson years are not capable of ruling themselves this vision violates International Resolutions and international law. You know yes the palestinians their basic rights and impact makes it almost impossible or next on possible means that israel would be allowed to continue to control the resources of the palestinians in the west bank in East Jerusalem and that means that its no longer possible to have a sovereign viable ready palestinian state. The race to be britains next conservative party leader therefore Prime Minister 2 is in full swing plus a sky news debate between the 2 remaining candidates has been cancelled have to the front runner Boris Johnson failed to reply to the invite and if the former foreign secretary does get the top job a new poll has found that his premiership could have huge consequences for him particularly scotland aunties political explains. Had to dodge all sorts of questions in relation to braggs it because his own says leave a lot of wiggle room as to that halloween departure date from the e. U. And also his private life or raul with his much younger girlfriend has been dominating the headlines here and in the midst of all this there are the results of a very interesting poll carried out by a panel base in scotland using a sample of over a 1000 scots and thats found that overall at the moment in scotland there isnt an appetite for independence there isnt a majority wanting Scottish Independence its a narrow margin 49 percent want independence versus 51 percent of scots who want to stay in the u. K. But crucially that fine balance tips towards scots wanting independence if you add one crucial factor its blown its got scruffy has its Boris Johnson if he is Prime Minister then 53 percent of scots say that they would want independence for their country while just 47 percent would be against it and this really strengthens the argument of scotlands 1st minister nicolas sturgeon who says that having boris as Prime Minister would strengthen the case for independence this was her answering a journalists question as to whether boris would make a good Prime Minister know and want he was a foreign secretary with a reasonable time you know he didnt display any basic competence seriousness of purpose and not jump and i find actually quite hard to get my head around but knowing everything we know about him through tours or even contemplating pushing him into number Boris Johnson really hasnt done himself any favors with scotland really an old Opinion Column of his when he was a journalist has thrown up some pretty controversial statements this was dating back to 2005 and in relation to go. Brown but take a listen to what he had to say about Scott Gordon Brown as Prime Minister would be absolute religious not just because you dont popping into fearing tax and complicated of life but mainly because hes a scot and government by a scot is just not conceivable in the current constitutional context what this poll really shows is that even if the johnson win is almost inevitable here and it does feel that way scotland is going to be a thorn in their what now seems to be future Prime Ministers side hes not liked north of the border and judging by this survey if hes in charge the likelihood of another person for Scottish Independence is much higher how do you for him the idea that Boris Johnson might become. Completely revolting Boris Johnson its more like. A more visible evil ive only tell you find i think hes an reliable i think hes slippery. I think you can trust him with being in charge of the nation at all i think its a frightening prospect i feel like theres a lot of people that would do much better job than he words dont like him dont trust him hes a liar hes. American veterans who dont respond to normal treatment for depression will be prescribed a ketamine like drug the Us Department of Veterans Affairs is partially approved a controversial new drug the driving suicide rates among retired servicemen and spy lots of questions raised by psychologists of alcala just it will now be prescribed in certain cases with the correct authorization. The drug itself goes under the name of art so its made by the pharmaceutical giant johnson and johnson and is intended for use when standard therapies failed its not cheap though here supply would set a patient back 30 1000. 00 the experts both in and outside of the government fear the drug safety the possible side effects of the treatment range from elucidations and dizziness through to sedation during several years of trial 6 people. Who are treated with the drug died 3 of the deaths was suicide but the drugs manufacturer says investigators establish those that werent linked to the product and it continues to promote it as a breakthrough in medicine. Spray votto is the 1st new type of medicine for treatment resistant depression in decades we firmly believe that people suffering from treatment resistant depression including our nations veterans deserve the opportunity to benefit from this breakthrough medicine veterans suicides are a big problem in the u. S. On average 20 former soldiers killed themselves every day but a number of doctors have rejected the idea that this new drug will make a difference. The biggest problem at hand is not the drug itself its the fact that instead of representing a revolution in Mental Health treatment as it has been touted to do a schism in is not a breakthrough at all spirital was shown to have a very slight benefit for patients in general but not for a man or people over 65 and thats mostly who the v. A. Serves spurt is very unlikely to help most veterans using deviate and so it absolutely should not be included on the firm alarie. Were only kind of kicking the can down the road in terms of future problems it was 1st. Prescribe opiates which became addictive been now were dealing with an opiate crisis and i can only imagine the economy in crisis that will become if doctors turn to prescribing kind of mean on a routine basis so we are recruiting people into the military having them face untenable situations and then frankly just trying to find a pill to fix it after the fact which only failed and drawing yet another drug into the situation without really taking a step back and trying to figure out what is at the root cause of the suicide of a comic is a mistake. Italy has raised the stakes in its conflict with the e. U. Over the countrys debt crisis deputy Prime MinisterMatthew Salvini said that hell resign if brussels doesnt approve his proposed tax cuts this comes after the Italian Parliament proposed a new way of debt payment socalled many books from a financial bond which brussels apparently sees as a potential threat to the euro the Saskia Taylor explains. One always feels bad for the e. U. As if the public humiliation of 17000000 brits saying they just didnt like it wasnt enough now its got another troublesome child on its hands it to me now while it is the 3rd biggest economy in europe its also one of the weakest its plagued by sluggish growth high unemployment and a whole lot of debt and the e. U. Is getting a bit and noid that not enough is being done to deal with this debt crisis so its issued a warning that it will take disciplinary action but the mediterranean countries got other patterns and its come up with a negative way around it all many pots or bills of treasury that basically smooth you know its the government would use to pay off people without using real money a bit like a lunch coupon but the financial idiots arent happy they say its got all the signs of a new currency and marks the 1st step towards anything the euro zone. Or. The people who are in markets here will these many roads doesnt seem to be very promising many better ways to actually deal with the payment of areas. Does not require the creation of such instruments bones its holly and bones could absolutely do the job now the idea of the mini bot isnt new similar techniques have been used in argentina greece and california also its not like it is the only country in the e. U. To have spent for 10 years front also failed to meet its Debt Reduction targets that brussels held its tongue but then again france doesnt have a populist government manned by no euro skeptics. Who food brussels. Your rules say you cannot do child do you think i would respect brussels rules. Do you think i would feed my child it is decided to wage a war on the home front to aside from the many pots its also proposed nor that would give the government the power to appoint members to the bank of italy the e. U. Is flustered fearing the board could end up less independent and more anti you and its likely disappointed over the loss of an ally on the inside the bank reportedly acted on behalf of the European Central bank to help oust former Prime Minister silvio berlusconi. Governments that misbehave with financial destruction they cut off refinancing and threaten to kill the Banking System they create a crisis in the bond market this is what happened to italy in 2011 so you can sympathize with the e. U. The current italian governments make no attempt to hide its the state of the block the recent e. U. Parliament actually saw populist euro skeptic parties win ground the threats it uses to dissipate and wayward Member States are being bypassed and theyre not exactly galloping ahead braxtons shown by resident bit painful alternative youd forgive the e. U. If it needed a moment to moppets brow we are trying to find some solutions who. Are these. We want to see this. Because that is a fuck that is not working in the right direction so what we fight. Lets see what we see who shows. Me to the rest of europe is because we or these hoops all of us and just the. Banks and so on we are not making. War not making big tourist. Thing with Multi International join me for updates and often are. With 10 minutes to spare trump pulled back from attacking iran reception of this new split down the middle or depending on how you view the president what is not talked about is why
