There its sunday on r. T. International that means in a little while well be taking you through some of the biggest stories covered here over the past 7 days but weve got some big developments this sunday to talk you through 1st and in iran which has announced plans to accelerate its Uranium Enrichment Program and surpass the 3. 6 percent cap stipulated in the 2015 Nuclear Agreement for energy reasons it says iran is already considered in breach of the deal after its a passed the 300 kilogram uranium stockpile limit officials there also recently ruled out further dialogue with washington unless further sanctions are lifted and irans deadline for that has now passed with europe only able to provide limited relief from the effects of those severe financial penalties part of the agreement signed. 4 years ago now iran curbed its Nuclear Program in return for a number of sanctions being removed now that a court has been on the brink of collapse since the United States unilaterally withdrew from it last year and reimpose those devastating penalties on terror on the escalating crisis has triggered serious concern in the region and in europe as well hes done of course has been following the Reaction Force in berlin. Evas leaders are not exactly happy about irans new plans for uranium enrichment Germanys Foreign Ministry has already urged the Islamic Republic to stop any actions that might lead it into a violation of the nuclear deal germany like her a 3 in new partners is extremely concerned by your rants announcement that it has begun enriching uranium beyond the concentration of 3. 67 percent we have repeatedly called and ran not to take further measures that further undermine the nuclear deal now berlins already said that its also been in close contact with other parties involved in the agreement and that theyre discussing the possibility of a joint meeting as a step forward in ensuring compliance with the nuclear deal now other states have also reacted as well the u. K. Foreign office called on iran to immediately stop what it was doing excusing them of being in violation of the treaty across the channel you have french president emanuel macron who warned of consequences that would come out of the potential weakening of the nuclear deal and on the flip side irans foreign minister mohammad jahvid zarif is saying that iran is pursuing these further enrichment plans within the confines of the nuclear deal and that they would reverse this decision if the e. U. Holds up its end of the bargain having failed to implement their obligations under the j c p o a including after the u. S. Withdrawal the e. U. And a 3 should at the very minimum politically support irans remedial measures on the paragraph 36. 00 including the i. A. E. A. The ether we have no pretext to avoid if political stunts to preserve the j c p o a and council us you know naturalism nazareth also sent a letter to the e. U. s Foreign Policy chief outlining the steps iran has already taken and the Foreign Ministry isnt to supporting meetings with european powers to take place later this month so if it looks at least like the e. U. And iran are open to see. Some sort of resolution to this issue israel on the other hand has had some pretty inflammatory words iran is violated solemn promise under the Un Security Council not to enrich uranium beyond a certain level the enrichment of uranium is meant for one reason and one reason only its for the creation of atomic bombs. The leaders of the p 5 plus one promised and committed themselves to snap back sanctions the minute iran could you just do where you and whos staying out of the negotiations well thats the u. S. Of course with washington still withdrawn were have to wait and see if its even still possible to save this deal politics professor at Teheran University we spoke to a little earlier believes its europes failure to uphold the nuclear deal thats now driving the crisis. Iran waited for over a year and the europeans did absolutely nothing you know only after you won began to reduce its commitments 2 months ago did the europeans sort of push harder and and reveal begin the using instax or formally announcing insects but insects itself as it is nothing without money and a europe still refrains from purchasing iranian oil under american pressure they could still refrain from allowing private companies are protected by private companies who want to do trade with iran to the iranians are. Seeing their commitments little by little to put pressure on the europeans so that they take a step forward if the europeans abide by their commitments then the iranians will stay within the if you know even though the americans have left in the americans are hindering the iranians dont accept the european excuse because the russians and the chinese are trying their best to abide by the deal and theyre doing far better than the europeans which have a very large economy. The blow to the pact comes as tensions also continue to rise between iran and the u. K. Their latest dispute was triggered when British Royal marines seized and iranian super tanker off the coast of on thursday britain believes the vessel was transporting oil to syria in violation of e. U. Sanctions but iran in turn claims the vessel did not enter the u. K. Territorial waters and it was traveling to a permitted destination its demanding the vessels Immediate Release an iranian Foreign Ministry official described the u. K. Move was unacceptable and called for the Immediate Release of the oil tanker given that has been seized at the request of the u. S. The u. K. Navys measure is tantamount to maritime piracy britain has no right to impose its own unilateral sanctions or those of the European Union in an extra territorial manner against the other countries this is the very bullying policy of the u. S. Brought to says the iranian tanker was carrying 2000000 barrels of oil the British Overseas Territories attorney general said on friday that the ship can be impounded for 14 days while its crew a question the seizure has been praised by washington which according to spain was behind the move. Is telling was already in the stop we have been aware of the operation civil guard petrols have been watching the area but were investigating the circumstances under which the u. S. Said this petition to the u. K. To excell news uki has the team the supertanker greece one laden with the reigning oil ban for syria in violation of you sanctions american our allies will continue to prevent regimes into ran in damascus from profiting off this Illicit Trade every few weeks we are seeing major provocations by the americans but theyre sending drones or warship towards iran and now this incident where the british are actually acting on behalf of the americans what gives the british the right to seize any iranian ships based on european laws iran is not a member of the e. U. Its the trump government decided to lead the Nuclear Accord the americans have been pressuring iran putting significant pressure on iran and iran has actually been acting in a very relatively cautious manner and we have to understand that you want to not sure restraint forever and we knew such as this where you raining ships are being seized illegally they cannot it actually want you want to do nothing in return if you want does nothing in return then they will put more pressure and more pressure.

United states celebrated Independence Day on thursday marking 243 years since it cast off the yoke of british rule but with the u. S. Continuing to struggle with deep divisions this years 4th of july didnt pass without controversy. The day began with clashes in washington d. C. Is left wing protesters faced off against the president s supporters ahead of his address to the nation Donald Trumps socalled salute to america then source show. A military might see in the u. S. Capitol in the film a reality t. V. Star called the show of a lifetime. Many in the media on the political will condemn the decision to involve tanks in jets in the annual celebrations they accuse mr trump of wasting huge amounts of money in the using the event for political gain ahead of next years election. Were going to have planes going over it the best fighter jets in the world and other planes to. Have some time stationed outside. The. Cue elite. To make it into what seems to be kind of for a combination trump railway. Storrow a military parade of hardware and of course but its just obscene. C. N. N. Has learned that some military chiefs have expressed reservations about politicizing the july 4th celebration concerned about the tanks and Armored Vehicles on displaying. The. Sites he will. Want to. Make sense. Of it. This is the marine main battle tank good for combat. Q. While many were upset about the tank parade on Independence Day concerns about americas unparalleled military spending seem to be somewhat more muted the u. S. Has been involved in 7 conflicts in 22001. And as army bases in more than 30 countries right now last year alone the pentagon splurged a jaw dropping 649000000000. 00 on its operations but despite washingtons attempts to spy or feelings of patriotism particularly the Current Administration it does seem that National Pride is on the decrease according to recent gallup polls thats with a trend since 2003 this year alone its dropped to 70 percent of people saying theyre proud to be american sara flounders whos head of the antiwar International Action center says the theme of this years parade reflects washingtons hawkishness. Everyone know this and why. And also. More than 800. 00 u. S. Military bases around the world outside the us thats right and countries one after the other i mean an artist cost the us more than 65 percent of all knowledge of all u. S. Expenditures less expenditures federal government low the military machine i dont very time went into structure else Care Education is all declining and when the gap between rich or higher than at any time in u. S. History. The conflict in libya is back under the Un Security Councils microscope following a Deadly Strike on a Detention Center is among all stories still ahead in the weekly in just a few months. We have the expectation that when we lifted people out of poverty when we became richer then wed become. And i think vanities what a lot of people ah struggling with now the expected that once they reached a certain level of income then they would be happy. And yet we create new size we create new things we want and i think sometimes we run out of explanations for why we feel unhappy. So the temporary orders that im on or before i go to final to actually do allow me to address them as james and his male pronouns but i cannot do that in front of the 3rd parties who know him as a girl so basically i cant go to school i keep them away from any friends he might have at school that known as a girl at my home hes known as james and i use male pronouns what im prohibited from doing right now is trying to convince him that hes actually a boy. And again the United NationsSecurity Council has called for a cease fire in libya following a deadly ass strike on a migrant Detention Center near the capital tripoli on tuesday night the attack which the u. S. Envoy to libya has said may amount to a war crime killed 53 people including 6 children 130 others were wounded compounding the devastation some reports also suggest the gobs of the facility opened fire on the surviving migrants and refugees as they fled of the time of the assault some 600 people were being held in the facility the when called for an independent investigation into the incident the air raid has led to protests over the conditions in libyas government run Detention Centers which has around 6000 people the shelters have been shopping criticized by Rights Groups the refugees are also calling on the un to relocate them to safety. Libyas u. N. Backed government which is based in tripoli has blamed the attack on forces loyal to the selfstyled Libyan National army which is commanded by the warlord Khalifa Haftar the holidays denied any responsibility in this but the uns Refugee Agency has said that its warned the dangers to people housed in that particular center this is a tragedy that was very much preventable just a couple of months ago we called for the urgent evacuation of people from this specific Detention Center after a similar airstrike to the people inside. The no action was taken in that regard people have tragically paid the consequence with their lives to the warden its of this Detention Center well known to both sides a of the conflict was known that there were 600 People Living inside so there can be no excuse for this having been hit we heard from a Senior Member of the u. N. Refugee Rights Office for libya who says the focus needs to now be on those who remain in the centers. We are deeply shocked by what happened saddened and now the priority is to actually take the people who remain in this Detention Center to a safer location as the other 3800 refugees and migrants who are trapped in this area refugees are coming from conflict from countries in conflict of a have suffered in their home countries they have traveled through the desert under the sun and they have been in the hands of smugglers tortured abuse along the journey then trying to reach. Trying to cross the desert to the mediterranean and then send back and then detain systematically you any opposes the detention of refugees this is why its important that we move fast that we that we find solutions and then we have the help of the International Community to help us make this a reality to discuss and to find a way forward. Not yet appointed but already in the firing line germanys. Nomination to be the next head of the page in her own native country dont point to her being a popular choice for the powerful role outgoing chief also says he regrets the way the block has selected his potential successor. Look there are a transcript. But the process which led to my nomination in 2014 was very transparent because we had looked at the dates everyone knew what was up if this build up of the would be the strongest power to do a proponent its a vision to come back to what unfortunately didnt become a tradition the current German Defense minister has at least got the backing of e. U. Nations leaders it seems but vanderlei and still needs the approval of a hefty 376. 00 and he pays a little bit more about the nomination hes known for being a federalist supports the creation of a single european sovereign nation and a new army if elected she will become the 1st woman to head the commission which is also have to gain support but as mentioned not everyone is sold on her candidacy after the traditional nomination system was scrapped to push a closer to being the next head of the e. U. Doesnt have the right to ignore all the candidates that have been voted for by european citizens the future of europe can no longer be decided behind closed doors boehner lame is our weakest minister thats apparently enough to become Commission President in the if wonderingly and fails to be elected as head of the commission my Department Europe risks a possible constitutional crisis so i find it a very charming idea to the face of europe it will be female in the future thats what i think we have to our problem in our democracy. Leading how to do the different artist or becoming the. Most but what. The president was the European Commission and ill probably do different came out of the. Second thing is. About all of this quiet. And theres a moment there is the investigation comment. On who arent. External units. People from all types of ministry. Of 200000000 euro political decisions can be regarded as. Democratic if one of 2 conditions are is met the population has to be involved in the Decision Making in some meaningful way or 2nd. Political decisions must reflect popular preferences now funded lines nomination doesnt need either cried. Yes its undemocratic by both standards. Protesters numbering into the 10s of thousands of once more being taking a stand in hong kong over a proposed extradition bill is the 1st mass action since the territories main legislative building was stormed on july the 1st. But not i was i. The demonstrations that sunday remained largely peaceful during the day but clashes erupted there off the dusk set in after 11 pm local time the extradition bill has been the subject of a series of intensified rallies over the past month the government says it plans to plug legal loopholes that currently prevent it from expediting criminals to certain countries critics so believe it will undermine hong kongs independence and allow china to violate human rights bill suspended on a large scale protests however demonstrators are calling for it to be scrapped completely. Thats it for this edition of the weekly next having the Worlds Largest prison population doesnt come without big challenges as we learn next with insight into americas penal system. What politicians do. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. Want. To go right to the press this is what about for 3 of them or cant be good. Im interested in the waters and how. They should. Make this manufactured sense of public wealth. When the ruling classes protect themselves. With the famous merry go round be the one percent. We can all middle of the room sick. Real news is. During the Great Depression which must remember there was most of my family were working. There wasnt it was bed much worse objective listen today but there was an expectation of the things were going to get better. There was a real sense of hopefulness there isnt today todays america was shaped by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. Reduced democracy attacks soloed. Engineer elections manufacture consent and other prince holds according to. One set of rules for the rich officer said. Thats what happens when you put her into the. Narrow sector of will switch will just dedicated to increasing power for chills just as youd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. I was in los angeles it was march of 1901. I go over and i look out the window and there they are. So i was arrested and that day our father and i wanted her to pray bargain. I understand she areas not god. And i could prove. She did me but no just to save her all the scale. So she wouldnt do this. As a result they were under. I could not plead guilty to everything that they accused me of. Not guilty and alternately i was convicted for conspiracy and i received 24 year sentence. Theres a way in which you have to see the conspiracy law as a very important tool of Law Enforcement if the crime is selling drugs and some man in miami sells 20 kilos of cocaine to an undercover agent. You want to ask who is the seller working where does the money go if the money goes back to a drug lord in colombia whos going to keep the proceeds hes in the conspiracy even though he actually wasnt there when this sale took place hes a conspirator and so part of the goal of the conspiracy law is to make sure that the most senior level all of those in the criminal organization are justly punished the problem is when you flip it around and the lowest level people in the criminal Organization Get punished just like they are the key. And thats the big problem and the way in which the conspiracy laws are being applied. I know end up in federal prison in dublin california i realized that i would need to spend a lot of time in the law library and i needed to film from a arise my sound my case and everything that had gone wrong if you furthered the conspiracy one step youre guilty for everything in the conspiracy no matter when you entered the conspiracy it could have been on the last day. Because i had collected some money on i technically was guilty of conspiracy. Held responsible for everything that everybody else had done and my sentence my 24 years was established based on the sum total of all the acts the thing that sandy had manufactured thats where my ears came from my ears didnt. Things that i came from 3700000 tablets of ecstasy that he had manufactured puts me on the chart at this lab just 24 years thats how a judge sentences you based on a chart the way the sentencing laws apply to conspiracy. Being subject to being punished for all the conduct that everybody in the conspiracy has been involved in
