A weekend deadline for europe to help restore irans old trade in the face of u. S. Sanctions and. Its 1 oclock here in moscow and youre watching International Live from our studio with me now to welcome to the program. Millions of weapons made in serbia have reportedly fallen into the hands of Islamic State fighters in yemen and syria after they were bought by the United States and its allies according to documents seen by gary an investigative journalist. This is anonymous it was see a lot to talk about. The queen not serbia not actively crusade and the u. S. Soccer mom tracking oh a well thats war for so. Called i will say able to id if i want to speak a lot a lot of life in the sand. They would. Stop again the video e. M. F. If those documents prove to be genuine then weapon seen on the Islamic State video in yemen could well be serbian made all star being sold to u. S. Military contractors all Senior Correspondent Lourdes Garcia explains how the weapons could have ended up in terrorist hands. Its a remarkable trail from the arms factories of europe for the hands of isis terrorists in yemen in the span of barely a year we knew this courtesy of concerned citizens who leaked the emails the memos the contracts between the u. S. Its contractors and weapons manufacturers and the jihad ists gave it away propaganda real from isis showed in their position 82 millimeter mortar shells which the reporter was able to identify for 18 read the numbers the cipher it is production lot for manufactured in 2018 k. V. Stands for the arms factory v. For value of a place in serbia where the arms factory is and thanks to those leaked documents it appears the us military purchased a lot for from cruising Military Factory last year then it was a matter of following the paper trail how those shells were brought transported mog for the afghan army and ended up with isis in yemen report to the discovered all this is certain in her findings. Now when all our lives. Were. Either there or in the claims youve made damaging of course is true for the Us Government based on these documents that you got hold of how hard was it to get them and how certain are you that they are genuine. I was there i was right in the beginning. I dont know or the people or of the were some. Where or was at that very thankful to them because. They are thank you in the shipping government. And on the labor. Market or show this there is the name of the company. There are you have government or birth of birth the weapon on behalf of the arm and there is also the shipping of that so its not a 0 to track. Kids like he back to the Us Government also there is indication that information about the us thank you know that we. Were ensured the documents speak for themselves the facts remade the shelves alien tech systems and contractor for the pentagon purchased 10500. 00 of them for 8000000. 00 it would transported the bug area coincidentally it was isis fighters were also holding a bulgarian made sold rifles next shipment was flume via silk way west lives and is about johnny airline licensed to transport weapons for the pentagon to us bases next thing we know within the year shells are an i says arsenal you need question all of this is how and who had to do those arms to extremists bear in mind that the just isis that weve seen in possession of munitions made in but also. The way in syria various other jihad scoops. Remarkable coincidence for them to accidentally stumbled aboard all of these weapons reportedly paid for by u. S. Taxpayers now weve sent many many requests for comment to the pentagon to its contractors involved in all of this the airlines the basis but so far nothing only the chance to bridge gave us his insights on how weapons and up in the hands of terrorists. People such as myself and not just me many people since 2011 and before when this was being muted as we can supply we were told to moderate rebels as they were caught in either libya or syria with weaponry that would help overthrow gadhafi or for example assad it was obvious to those of us whove got really any military backgrounds are told that it would be impossible to control where those weapons would end up and indeed Much Research a lot of academics and so on has proved this to be the case again and again are that moderate rebels socalled selling or handing over these weapons to these groups or these groups can capture them in the field if they have battles or disputes themselves of course it could have been and i dont think this is necessarily the stuff of conspiracy theories it could have been so obvious of course that this would happen that it would end the weapons would end up in the hands of these extremist groups that that was the intention right from the start these are all possibilities. Irans president plans to accelerate the countrys Nuclear Activities it will be the countrys 3rd step in scaling back its commitments under the 2050 nuclear deal. Maybe an hour ahead of a weekend deadline for european powers to help bypass u. S. Sanctions on irans or treat. I know that we will take the 3rd step and we will announce it in 2 or 3 days in my view this is the most important that we are taking its impact will be really amazing we will give the e. U. 2 more months while we are taking this 3rd step to get back to the negotiating table but the socalled 3rd step means iran will lift all limits on Nuclear Research and start developing centrifuges to speed up the interviewing in iran has been raising the pressure on europe to uphold its obligations under the 2050 nuclear deal since the u. S. Pulled out in may this year. Live to Global Affairs analyst Patrick Henningsen patrick thanks for coming on to the program now why do you think hes on rouhani decided to take additional steps before a weekend line. I think iran is playing a very shrewd negotiations game theyre sort of taking a page out of Donald Trumps art of the deal theyre trying to basically dictate the pace of negotiations in this case or events as well theyre dealing with 2 main parties which is the european signatories to the j c. P. O. Way and then are also indirectly dealing with the United States this is designed clearly to apply pressure on europe and in effect in direct pressure on washington so trying to really putting direct pressure on washington obviously isnt going to work washington will escalate its threats and so forth so iran is seen this is a possible solution to its problem to break the impasse on the deal that the u. S. Walked away from by putting in direct pressure on the other p 5 plus one countries that maybe they can do something to remedy iran which is going through a severe financial crisis right now as a result of a whole raft of sanctions being placed on it after the United States walked away from a deal that it agreed as a partner to when it walked away in may of 20000 patay the there is a problem though isnt that it could backfire and probably to reconsider its position in the dail couldnt it. It yes it could in theory but you know it everything comes back to the United States at the end of the day because they walked away from a deal that was negotiated took 2 years more than 2 years in fact to put together and just because there was a change in a u. S. Election then the u. S. Walks away from a Landmark International agreement i mean if thats the way that the washingtons going to conduct International Relations and no ones going to want to sign any treaty not north korea or anyone else with the United States in anything serious to think this is going to be revoked with a chance to change a president but in this case the i dont think i dont think its in the europeans interest to join the United States on this side because its not only these parties involved you do have russia and china involved in this as well so geo politically certainly it serves the i think the the balance of security interests of europe to stay in the conversation and to try to work their way even if its a small steps theres a line of credit been proposed by france or alone or line of credit in order to alleviate some of irans economic suffering this is positive and many will macron stepping in at the g 7 to take advantage really of the United States is untenable position by acting as an intermediary in trying to advance some kind of useful diplomatic negotiations Going Forward that these are all good signs in the interim but United States seems to be very much stuck on the same page as it has been for the last year we also have to look at the perception of the global phase that iran might be developing Nuclear Weapons that certainly dont want to go in their favor. No but the real the real problem with the European Partners i dont think they have found their real backbone yet because if they if they were serious i think they would be to be taken seriously they have to stop giving washington and israel for that matter a free pass on making false claims like iran is the worlds number one state sponsor of terror and theyre hiding some giant Nuclear Arsenal under a mountain somewhere in northern iran you know these are the these are the sort of conspiratorial talk and apps outright lies that the u. S. And its partners namely israel saudi arabia to if you want to throw them in have been trading on and these are simply not true all the European Countries know this but they sort of let washington get away with this rhetoric i think the European Countries are also scared of possible secondary sanctions certainly that its a justified fear looking at the way that washingtons prosecuting its Economic Warfare agenda over the last 18 months globally thats a legitimate fear by European Partners and would be the 1st time the United States would be threatening its allies as well as its perceived enemies this as happened in the past a number of times before in history so its not without precedent yeah i mean talking of science and patrick is an issue of time off there honey statement that the u. S. Officials announced new sanctions on iran this time targeting a shipping network what could this nie to you know was saying so much to 11 telling. But you know when you look at look at the United States has left iran with in terms of the nucular situation no way out they they pushed countries into a position by for instance when drawing waiver special waivers that allowed partner countries like russia like oman to loud iran to get rid of some of its excess material like enrich uranium or heavy water by by revoking those waivers the United States has forced iran into a position where it has to either you know scale back its commitments from the j. C. Pure way i mean scaling back its commitments nothing near a weapons grade enrichment levels of 90 percent were talking like a one percent above the 3. 67 level set by the j c p o a but the United States is blowing this up Donald Trumps making a big deal about it the u. S. Treasury is acting as almost like an independent department in the United States i mean theyre sanctioning absolutely everybody if you subscribe to the ofac daily news blast youll see theres announcements every day so this is just growing and growing pretty soon half the world is going to be under u. S. Sanctions is this is this really tenable long term the United States seems to be pushing the world and certain countries specifically iran towards a shooting war in a sense seeking to recreate the conditions like we saw prewar to these of the japan isolating japan embargoing and cutting it off from supplies not allowing it to sort of trade with the rest of the world forcing its hand to to to do something maybe irrational in order to survive that seems to be what the United States is doing geostrategic lee theres no doubt about that now whether how serious thats going to be and whether other partners can come in and mitigate this situation that remains to be seen as a. There are some positive signs though i would say what france is doing is definitely positive and theres support from hopefully other European Partners to do the same ok Patrick Henningsen Global Affairs on this thanks very much for coming on to the program and sharing your thoughts thank you. Now the British Parliament has rejected a request from Prime Minister baraks johnson to hold an early general election after m. P. s voted to take control of the commons agenda and pasta built to prevent a no deal drugs it. Reports from london. The Prime Minister last night had lost that vote whereby m. P. s took control of the legislative agenda and so today what they did was introduce legislation that would seek to frustrate a nose deal drags it which many m. P. s and in fact many economists feel would be devastating to the u. K. This morning and throughout the day m. P. s have been debating and voting and finally passing this bill along to the house of lords which would essentially once it gets approval become law and stop it from taking place also pushing back regs that day from its current october 31st deadline in response to that. Try to introduce or did introduce a motion calling for an early snap general election to clear the mess and to try to see who the country wanted to go forward with negotiations with the e. U. In order to do that he needed to get 2 thirds of m. P. s on his side however at the labor party abstained from that so mr johnson while he won the vote he didnt meet the 2 thirds threshold and essentially the Labor Party Led by Jeremy Corbyn saying that this is not the tyrant to be voting on whether or not to hold a general election because the priority should be getting this legislation finalized and ratified and stopping and though still brags that Alyssa Corcoran also speaking in the house earlier today said that once all of that has been sorted out then tension could possibly go to a future general election in any case its been a bad day for Boris Johnson and he still faces the prospect of being one of if not the shortest serving Prime Minister in living memory. You have to face and france have been accused of Human Rights Violations in yemen as story anil. Somewhere in paris you know so many people referenced the Marie Antoinette let them eat cake and then you know historians have gone back and they said you know its actually like its brioche. You know that so i brought in actual poem my god what a mess we brought in actual brioche this is a brioche just by the slice there at the patisserie and so this is what she suggested that the peasants that should be eating because they had run out of the say this is a brioche is a slightly nicer version of theres a few in the cupboard lets throw that to the peasants and maybe thatll shut them up. What hope to. Be put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president and you. Want to be rushed. Into going to the press which is what was before 3 of them or cant be good. Im interested always in the waters of my. Question. Welcome back to us britain and france my own be complicit in war crimes and Human Rights Violations in yemen thats according to a un report that was released on tuesday and that highlighted the role of all im silas to the society that coalition. There are certain states who are well known to be supplying weapons that includes United States it includes United Kingdom it includes france to name but 3 the group of experts has recommended that 3rd states prohibit the authorization about arms transfers and refrain from providing arms to parties to the conflict this is because of the prevailing risk that such arms will be used by parties to commit or facilitate serious violations of International Humanitarian and human rights law the us britain and france make up the top 3 arms suppliers to riyadh while the stock of International Peace Research Institute estimates that between 20152018 washington sold weapons worth some 10000000000. 00 to saudi arabia the u. K. And france trailed far behind with 2100000000. 00 and over 500000000. 00 respectively one of the authors of the latest u. N. Report Charles Garraway told us the continuing flow of arms into yemen is perpetuating the war this is a collective failure of the International Community as a whole and it is the responsibility of the International Community as a whole endeavor to believe those people who supply all those have a greater influence on the parties and therefore have a perhaps a greater responsibility to take action to try to prevent violations there is no doubt that it is the continuation of the supply of alms to yemen that is prolonged the conflict in recent un report has also called into question the findings of science here arabias joint incidence Assessment Team this body set up by riyadh claims to investigate violations by the coalition in yemen with transparency and impartiality Charles Garraway again told us that the groups analysis is superficial. The trouble is the coalition has not been cooperating with us and therefore we have very Little Information apart from what is in the public to the press releases of the joint incident an Assessment Team could use are comparatively bland and so far as we can see they do not carry out a sufficient legal analysis what is needed is an independent and impartial assessment so this what we have tried to do but the difficulty with examining conduct to force them to is its easy to look upwards from the result but the result will tell you very little it wont even tell you what the intended target was and what we need and what the world needs is access to the targeting persons so that we can find out what is going wrong because something clearly is with no end in sight to the bloody conflict in yemen children there are particularly vulnerable a crew from altera big as it is an orphanage in the countrys capital of sana. I was playing while our sheep were grazing the hair the bomb exploded and so shrapnel flying around to actually some towards me and then stumbling around the car only to find out that my family had a mother and father my brothers and sisters they were all down. At the time because of the war the number of all fronts has risen so much that the orphanages cant house them its bleak for this children many of whom have to leave run from the streets. Now showing thomas will take over in around 30 minutes time and more of the top stories so stay with us. Exists is a sticker from the water bottle phone in the stomach of the fish the brand is part of the Cocacola Company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that lets tell consumers there are the bad ones there the litterbugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. As soon as law sets in their classes chris takes a costly on my end on a day when you dont lose at a special projects funding he does it to close on im your best bet is the end of it for the team but for now the mountains of waste only grow higher. When lawmakers manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. When the ruling classes project themselves. With the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. Of the time to ignore middle of the room signals. Coming real new. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to get off of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Well you know the pirate thing weve kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. I mean theyre in this small ball of sticks and hard push ups and its very. Tough to. Belittle self to big fish already 90 percent of the dart on any phone connor. Contact 15 scoops 75 times they do it several times a day with a big fleet so no you get an idea why. We have to understand we can not stay still and just. Be within this the field going to these arms. Im doing this because i want them for the future world to the future generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have. Ready ready ready to stop it for continuing to grow. I just never know very good about the idea of bringing children into the world because i didnt feel like things were in very good shape that a life was just going to be a lot of software programs. Theres no reason youre more world you take things that are to me the theres no reason to make Something Else that you need to get rid of to everybodys. Scared to tackle that survival is really dependent on harness addressing this year and every sentiment track at it every morning have a conversation about it ready. There is one organized force which traditionally money flows but with all its flaws its been in the forefront of the. Efforts to improve the lives of the general population and its organized labor its also a barrier to corporate tyranny so its the one barrier to this vicious cycle going on which does lead to corporate tyranny. A major reason for the concentrated on a fanatic attack on unions an organized labor is they are a democratizing force. To provide a barrier that defends the workers rights course of popular rights generally. And it that interferes with the parotid is narrower for those who own and manage a society. I should say that anti union sentiment in the United States among. Elites is so strong that the fundamental couper of labor rights and the basic principle in the International Labor organization is the rate of Free Association which would mean the right to form unions u. S. Has never ratified. I think the us may be alone in one major societies and their respect. Its considered so far out of the spectrum of american politics it literally has never been considered. Herber that the us has a long and very violent labor history as. Society. But the Labor Movement had been very strong by the 1920 s. In a period not unlike today it was virtually crushed like.
