The. U. K. Government documents reveal how the intelligence services. British news. Spreading. Propaganda during the cold war. Live from our International News center here in moscow this is r t pleasure to have your company my names you know. The u. S. Secretary of state house painted the assassination of irans top general maney as part of a Bigger Campaign of big tournaments it says it will also be applied to russia and china are to scale up and picks up the story. Mike pompei oh the u. S. Secretary of state seems to be highlighting the term deterrence as the new buzz word defining u. S. Foreign policy reestablishing deterrence real deterrence military deterrence deterrence is hard to establish an easy to lose now the killing of a top foreign general by the United States in a different country is considered now to be an act of deterrence intended to deter behavior on the part of the country or entity that was attacked there is no terrorist except Osama Bin Laden who has more american blood on his hands than did customs of the money but i want to lay this out in context of what weve been trying to do theres a a bigger strategy a strategy to this we have reestablished deterrence but we know its not everlasting that risk remains we are determined not to lose that deterrence. In all cases we have to do this we have to do this to defend freedom and liberty around the world thats the whole point of president trying to work to make our military the strongest its ever been and now the iraqi Prime Minister he says that saw him on it was on a Diplomatic Mission so was the United States trying to deter him from engaging in peace talks regardless however according to what weve heard solomonic is not the only figure who has been targeted in this deterrence campaign by the United States in addition to that we understand that a top figure in yemen a financer of the could force has also been singled out and specified and considered as a target in this way but there are other potential targets on the list this new u. S. Foreign policy strategy seems to not only lie to iran but according to my palm pales remarks it also applies to both russia and china we not just in iran but in other places too where american deterrence was weak we watched russias 2014 occupation of the crimea chinas island building 2 in the South China Sea and its brazen attempts to coerce American Allies undermine to deterrence so this strategy for deterrence includes economic isolation of countries diplomatic isolation economic pressure as well as targeted killing of the foreign citizens so is this the new geopolitics deterrence is the phrase now being used to justify it all. Russia has condemned germany from the United Kingdom for triggering a dispute mechanism over rums alleged failure to abide by the 2015 year career deal a joint commission has 15 days to consider the complaint after which it could be referred to the u. N. Security council. We have therefore been left with no choice given irans actions but to register today are concerns that iran is not meeting its commitments under the j c p o a and to refer this matter to the joint commission under the resolution mechanism we see no reasons for such a decision we dont exclude that you conceived actions of the euro trio will lead to a new escalation around the. And will make it impossible to revive the implementation of the nuclear deal in its initial terms which the euro trio is apparently having for. Quite a bit of text there but we did want to go through it iran has also blasted the e. U. Trios intention to open a probe into to runs noncompliance on his promise there for a response but not everyone seems so concerned because the u. K. s Prime Minister barak johnson has a plan b. If you get rid of it lets replace it lets replace it with the troop deal ok thats what we need. And i think that would be a great way for our lets give you some background to this the g. C. P. O. A commonly known as the Iran Nuclear Deal was signed in 2015 by major powers on the Islamic Republic under the accord tehran agreed to limit its Nuclear Activities in exchange for the easing of sanctions but washington polled out of the agreement in 2818. 00 imposing economic penalties against its adversary in the wake of americas killing of general care some solid money around. On its compliance with the deal or. Im happy the same joined live on the program by george the moving towards is Senior Research fellow at the Global Policy institute of london good to see you so there we have the british pm saying that the joint comprehensive plan of action is dead and should be replaced with a trump deal what do you think whats the main point about what what it entailed in your view. Well the trump plan would be. Something that iran and any country would find unacceptable curtailment of its Foreign Policy a abandonment on the part of iran to act as a Regional Power which it obviously is its a major power in the persian gulf. And to give up its missile. The Ballistic Missile program so in other words it wont be able to defend itself from attack given that it has already been threatened by attack from the United States and by israel so none of these things that trump would demand are iran were able to be accepted by any iranian government so its really just childish to Start Talking about a transplant to replace the j c. Its dead on arrival just at londons view here there seems to be contradictions within the British Government itself only around deal with the foreign secretary saying the u. K. Is still committed to the old deal where will that lead mr johnson. Well this is believed by our prosy of on the part of the e. U. 3 of her son time now theyve been repeating. In our command that well were still villagers e. P. O. And we we take it very seriously and and were really committed to it but if theyre not there you know they had a chance iran has been very patient they had a chance to get around the sanctions and while its true that the 3 themselves did not impose sanctions on iran they have nonetheless worked with the us sanctions and in fact its essentially that you know 3 and the americans have been in cahoots imposing these sanctions on iran because iran is unable to sell its oil iran is unable to buy anything iran is unable to. Make any money so if they can European Countries actually achieve a brick through given those sanctions in place by the american south. I dont see it they have theyve already an. Ample opportunity i mean you know the United States walked away in may 28th and iran has been very patient waiting for the europeans to come up with a mechanism. To get around the american sanctions and to why they did set up this inspects system but nothing has happened i mean its just simply a direct barter thing. On no goods humanitarian goods that in any case iran is entitle to sew up all these promises of the europeans are made have remain unfulfilled so its just that nothing which is going to happen but it was now that they rebooking this dispute resolution mechanism what were now have been is it will go on you know theyll go step by step it will end up at the u. N. Security council and given the american pito then the u. N. Sanctions will snap back into place it seems obvious the point but we shouldnt really forget the contribution of the other countries to the new fair deal and the troop it sounds like a one sided approach doesnt. Of course it is it i really one sided. It imposes these limitations on irans sovereignity on irans ability to defend itself. Without any guarantee that the United States will it here will this agreement any more firmly the need it yet to the last agreement so even if you round work to give up its Ballistic Missile program even if you round worked it will its forces out of syria whats whats the stock of the next president. Whoever from stepping away dramatically meant and slightly is being you know once again the devil incarnate so theres no incentive whatsoever for iran to agree to anything like this towards im only Senior Research fellow at the Global Policy institute of london thank you. Thank you. In a sharp rebuke to the french government more than a 1000 doctors are the hospital workers have stepped back from their administrative duties they say working conditions in the Health Sector being gradually worsening due to a lack of funding and chronic stuff shortage is taking the pulse of the situation arties charlotte devinsky. The moving clued some 600 heads of hospital to parliament and 470 heads of Health Services and it comes amidst the countrys longest running strike in decades they say that is the doctors that they could no longer watch over service that is in adequate and threatens patient safety. Groups hospitals have been on strike for several months hospitals and Emergency Services unions have been sounding the alarm politically nothing has been done thats the problem from the point of view of medical ethics doctors must treat patients you but we dont have the necessary resources weve been killing our Health Care System for the past 20 or 30 years we have completely changed our control system at the moment decision to take not by medics but by administrative staff and manages and that has to change i came here from santa go get humanitarian work so i can tell you that in terms of health care france is becoming like a developing country other issues include a lack of hospital beds for patients and a growing unease it reduced stuffing numbers of hospitals across france now this move will hit some areas of the country more than others in the 2nd largest city must say almost 50 heads of departments are quitting their demanding the government comes up with a plan to fix the system. We want is for patients to be properly treated at the optimal cost and is efficiently is possible were being asked to reduce staff numbers to make savings so its a never ending cycle to break the cycle who must give hospitals what they need to continue treating people properly we can make budget cuts but for there we need a centralized National Plan health is a National Problem and we need to invest money into the system the Health Minister has though defended the governments position shes previously promised an additional 70000000. 00 euros in aid including. A monthly risk premium for start the budget that we have announced with 1500000000 or 3 years will allow hospitals to renovate themselves to engage in new projects to recruit staff where theyre needed and open baz where there is need but this hasnt done enough to quell the anger felt by some medical staff so what will this mean for services well they were they will remain doctors offering medical services what they will no longer be is the backbone of the profession these doctors are resigning from essentially management and did ministry 2 roles roles that often receive no extra pay for it means feature hospital projects could become friends and complaints could go unheard their concerns are adding to the discontent in france for 6 weeks of public transport strike has hit services across the country particularly here in paris though many metro lines are now operating partial services white lawyers and teachers of also been striking of the pension reform plans. 3 days of mobilization have been called by unions this week in a bid to force the government into retreat i do ready some objectives have been achieved the french Prime Minister has provisionally taken an increase in retirement age off the table but for many unions this concession is simply not enough challenge even ski auty paris. Just thing in the country thousands of Union Members and yellow protesters have been rallying in cities across the country against Pension Reforms this is images from people staged fake funeral for the Current System carrying a coffin to the city. Its been revealed that the Reuters News Agency received the equivalent of millions of pounds in the 1960 s. And seventys from British Intelligence services to spread the soviet propaganda but it also has come to light Britains National broadcaster was complicit in the subterfuge. A little bit further on the story. The deal with simple funding for avoid to services in the middle east and latin america in exchange for well political influence this groups were sure that the british based news agency could and would provide exactly what her majestys government required when you need declassified documents have just been revealed painting the picture right here at the u. K. s National Archives. Governments interest should be well served by the new arrangement this influence would flow at the top level from his willingness to consult and to listen to views expressed on the results of its work but how do you fund such a mission if you dont want to do it in the open nor in the public eye well via the independent public broadcaster the b. B. C. Of course and it was easy the b. B. C. Paid by and had subscriptions and then later on the British Government would have paid the b. B. C. Via compensation however it didnt come cheap in fact it cost 350000. 00 pounds which in todays money is millions you see britain wanted to be big but not that big because if it was to be too profitable well then the propaganda stories would get lost amongst the other. In going for Profitable Service will reuters not be tempted to put in popular items and leave out the political material which is what we want we all know about the icing on the cake argument but if only the icing is solved and the cake left our purposes are not served the most the minds behind this were a shadow a section of the far enough information and Research Department created in 1948. Goal was to create and spread anti soviet material during the cold war but having the News Agencies integrity and back to take voice is adamant theres no way we think gave them such activity today and says at the time it was simply the norm and it really wasnt as bad as it seems. Many news organizations receive some form of state subsidy after world war 2 but the arrangement in 1969 was not in keeping with our trust principles and we would not do this today so you see the truth always comes out and now the National Archives under the instruction of the Foreign Office is gradually releasing Historical Records that expose dirty deeds of the past but it seems like former deals have left a shadow of whats supposed to be those at the forefront of objectivity independence and freedom from bias shouted with daschle. Well to expose report i spoke to codirector of the organization for propaganda studies dr piers robinson he told me about the same situation that exists today between the Mainstream Media and the security services. Well im sure one would be absolutely naive to think that they were very soon work processes that work today even at the site now that we know for sure that huge are probably in the last 20 years. We wouldnt be issued sure its a war on terror. And what we see the moment conflicts syria and iran we see an immense mark propaganda going on and of course in terms of this actually sort of very sort of direct manipulation you just have this absolute you take it to the u. K. Where youve seen this little motion the independent charity receiving large sums of government money creating classes of journalists to the academics in order to serve basically sure the russian agenda and thats a very crude and very obvious example its become. Quite blunt about it in the last 20 years who seem to be initiated by western governments underpinned by a propaganda reading tony blair mentions and so. I want to bring you images know from spain a huge explosion at a petrochemical plant in the castle a region has claimed the life of one Person Injured at least 8 others we know that 2 of them are in Critical Condition another is missing this is video we have indeed from the security cameras on the outside of a Bowling Alley which captured the moment of the explosion quite incredible really the blast in the port city of tire a whole it is the scribe this having created a Mushroom Cloud locals have been told to stay in doors while the authorities assess the situation cause is not know and as of yet when and if we find that we will of course bring it to you. Ok moving on a swiss tennis star Roger Federer has find themself in the climate change. Teenage activist gratitude burke after she criticized his association with the Bank Credit Suisse the Financial Institution has been investing considerably in the search for a new fossil fuel deposit with more on how eco shaming has become a crucial part of modern reality here salient the trickle. Do you know gratitude berg by her role as the worlds number one a green activist or the number one shaming master well shes really been up to trying to perfect her reputation and both and its paying off her influences skyrocketing womyn of the year in sweden person of the year in the Time Magazine i mean how many teens do you know that told of president s and Prime Ministers like that we are in the beginning of a mass extinction and what you can talk about isnt money it came to tales of Economic Growth how do you. 6 an example from just a couple of days ago a single retreat by gretta revived the scandal from 20 and made the man they called the greatest tennis player of all times find excuses for being partners with a bank here are the shaming lines she retreated since 2016 Credit Suisse has provided 57000000000 to Companies Looking for new fossil fuel deposits something that is utterly incompatible with Climate ActionRoger Federer do you endorse this and so Roger Federer sponsorship deal with the swiss lender was back in the news and the sports all round mr nice guy had to reassure the public he cares for the environment oh that mighty grow ill show you more of how her shaming powers stretch far beyond the famous un walls but its just that for now not everyones so sure that anyone who deals with banks which give loans to non Green Industries should be publicly shamed public shaming and taking the right people to have stare an opinion the last thing that. Stops is being human described but it doesnt get it so you want to see it the way he thinks hes allowed to its a free will say meaning activism dont. Well together yes but it can be a discussion thats hard to say well maybe we should celebrities should be a bit more careful in picking this ponces ecological issues should people peoples attention but not by publicly shaming an individual however it seems neither gratitude nor her fellow activists have any intention of scaling some of that shaming down yeah why do it if it works so well so what can you be shamed for nowadays stay away from anything that has to do with fossil fuels even if youre choosing a bank shame on you if you fly never heard that was a sin well read has been peddling the flight Shame Movement online for a while now why cant you stop flying on planes its easy. How about used take home and take some Climate Action instead. Climate compensation hes the planting of trees enough to excuse your flights while some folks of already tried to paralyze a london airport the worlds aviation authorities even trying to stand up for its industry the Aviation Industry has recognized the climate challenge for many many years. And weve had very tough talking to improve also human. Emissions and ultimately to cut our emissions and i dont think anyone should feel ashamed of flying and certainly not so much industry we support millions of jobs worldwide and we produce the lives of countless millions of people green activists are currently after german engineering giant siemens for going ahead to fulfill a contract with a coal mine in australia what for now coal or fossil fuels altogether arent legal right it all makes you wonder whats next what youre going to do when grettir comes for you will it get to the point when miners and their families are booed at for what they do for a living just a short while ago we had at least here in germany eco shaming against people with s. U. V. S. And off and on we have it for like people that are taking trips in aircraft seems to be a moving target so it seems to go from plastic bags to beef to. The trees to coal mining gets the people are so frustrated they feel they have to do something even if its almost irrelevant like in the case of zealands right now whos accused of making Railway Signalling equipment which is being used by the Mining Company i mean thats a pretty. Big stretch to go from 0 and signalling equipment to say that has something to do with the climate problem and the forest fires a growing army of activists would say the whole of mankind has no other choice but to use some of gratis shaming skills if it once a future there are still probably many of those who wouldnt mind a little more green tolerance from master to newburgh and co. Another story were closely following today israel says its not going to withdraw all criticism levelled at ukraine over the socalled glorification of far right nationalists it comes after the Israeli ForeignMinistry Said it was the moral duty of the world to condemn the semitism or Mideast Bureau chief paulus lee or as more. What were hearing from israel is a message to ukraine that it will not battle to of the debate thats taking place in kiev over the glorification of individuals during the 2nd world war now the israelis are concerned that some of those individuals who are being glorified by the Ukrainian Government are people who were responsible for the mess murder of jews during the holocaust people who murdered jews and paul grahams at the same time people who collaborated with the nazis and also anti semitic ideologists of the radical Ukrainian National movement now the Ukrainian Government has responded by saying that this is an internal matter that deals with ukrainian politics and that any kind of criticisms that are coming from israel are essentially counterproductive but the Israeli Foreign ministry has said as you correctly pointed out that anything that belittles the memory of the holocaust in which 6000000 jews died is something that israel and its allies around the world have both a responsibility and a moral obligation to speak out about preserving the memory of the holocaust the battle against and to semitism including the group for creation of. Murders of jews are not an internal matter of any country now the israeli and polish ambassadors made public letters that they blow to the Ukrainian Government criticizing those individuals that it was glorifying in response the creating an ambassador to israel said that the revival and preservation of the Ukrainian National memory was one of the priorities of this government and that it was really up to experts and historians to have the final say in this whole debate central to the whole conversation is the figure. Now many in ukraine still glorify him in regard him as a National Hero but he was in actual fact the leader of the radical Ukrainian National movement and he was accused and found guilty of the mess muhtar of jews next week the ukrainian president vladimir who happens to be jewish himself will be here in israel he will be participating in the holocaust commemorations. Many and no doubt this issue will again be addressed the. Exiled leader carlos puts them on sees he wants to return to spain he had fled to belgium after a Spanish Court issued a european arrest warrant for organizing a bomb to independence referendum in council only in 2017 before any return however he needs assurances of a munity from arrest through his new status as an m. E. P. For spain speaking outside the e. U. Parliament in strasburg he remain defiant in his view of madrid still its. So naturally there is a member state of European Union called spain which has doesnt respect the rule of law europe. Is european. So we are here in order to remember and to claim. To european unity should be involved in a solution based on dialogue doing politics and respecting the will the people and the will of the people of catalonia to decide in a free referendum our own future of. A lisp on the Supreme Court has issued an account of the case against the former cattle on leader it sees the events in question have nothing to do it puts them all to work as a parliamentarian but are focused on his actions in years that far predate him becoming an m. E. P. Funder of a brussels based think tank believes madrid is breaking the law by pursuing the case. Speed in these regards the position of the European Court of justice because what they have done is to issue a new ruling of the Supreme Court in spain basically saying the opposite about the. Possibility of recognizing the immunity to elected members of European Parliament which is very disruptive actually its a very serious breach legal level in the european system if yes the immunity is an elected member of the European Parliament which he has because he has accepted as such should be able to move throughout the year to be in countries without any impediment.
