From our studios in moscow this is our chief international. Certainly glad to have you with us. All right the u. S. Secretary of state has painted the assassination of irans top general as part of a Bigger Campaign of deterrents he says it will also be applied to russia and china arties comments. 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 as hard to establish an easy to loose 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 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 trumps work to make our military the strongest its ever been and now the iraqi Prime Minister he says that saw him on a 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 solomon 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 watch russias 2014 occupation of the crimea chinas island building too in the south. See and its brazen attempt of course American Allies undermine to deter us so this strategy for deterrence includes economic isolation of countries diplomatic isolation economic pressure as well as targeted killing of the Foreign Service sense so is this the new geopolitics deterrence is the phrase now being used to justify it all russia has condemned germany france and the u. K. For triggering a dispute mechanism over irans alleged failure to abide by a 2015 nuclear deal a joint commission now has 15 days to consider the complaint after which it would be referred to the u. N. Security council we have therefore been left with no choice given irans actions but to register today our 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 g c p o a and will make it impossible to revive the implementation of the nuclear do in its initial terms which the euro trio is apparently having for. Iran has also blasted the e. U. Trios intention to open a probe into tehrans at noncompliance and promised a Firm Response but not everyone appears so concerned because the u. K. s Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has a plan b. If you get rid of it lets replace it and lets replace it with the troop deal ok thats what we need to see and i think that would be a great way for. The j c p o a which is commonly known as the Iran Nuclear Deal was signed in 2015 by major powers and the Islamic Republic under the accord to iran agreed to limit its Nuclear Activities in exchange for the easing of sanctions but washington pulled out of the agreement in 2018 imposing economic all tease against its adversary in the wake of americas killing of general concepts of money irans scaled back on its compliance with the Deal International affairs come tator marco gothic is quite concerned about a trump deal replacing the j c p o a. The problem for any deal that neo cold trump deal is that it would be probably an acceptable to the other side the idea that the u. S. Has the trump backing seem has is to simply reduce. An important vassal states and thats not what iran is likely to accept so deal no deal what europe needs to do is to show for the 1st time some benefits to iran from the view so far its all been talk talk and the walk walk has been the american experts oriel extraterritorial sanctions which have sabotaged that same deal i made any benefits to one of the sides absolutely invisible similarly with the other european powers release some of the funds they got allocated for humanitarian purposes and other purposes they could also show willy in some Financial Sense but at the moment theres been nothing none of that for the radians its all been one way traffic negative traffic initiated by washington and kept 2 by europe. In a sharp rebuke and to the french government more than a 1000 doctors and hospital workers have stepped back from their administrative duties they say working conditions in the Health Sector have been gradually worsening due to a lack of funding and chronic Staff Shortages taking the pulse of the situation our teaser showed to minsky. The moving collude 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 can no longer watch over service that is in adequate and threatens patient safety. Hospitals have been on strike for several months hospitals and Emergency Service unions have been sounding the alarm but politically nothing has been done thats the problem from the point of view of medical ethics doctors must treat patients 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 all decisions are taken up by medics but by administrative staff and manages 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 at 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 acquitting theyre demanding the government comes up with a plan to fix the system over what we want is for patients to do properly treated at the optimal cost and is the fission plea is possible would be an ass 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 at 1500000000 or 3 years will allow hospitals to renovate themselves to engage 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 while 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 dont 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. In the meantime thousands of Union Members and yellow vests protesters have been rallying in french cities against pension reforms. People staged a fake funeral for the Current System carrying a coffin to the citys opera house. It has been revealed that Reuters News Agency received the equivalent of millions of pounds in the 1960 s. And seventys from British Intelligence services to spread anti soviet propaganda it has also come to light that Britains National broadcaster was complicit in the subterfuge arties shoddy edwards dosti lifts the lid on the story further. The deal was simple funding for avoid to services in the middle east and latin america in exchange for well political influence this critics were sure that the british based news agency could and would provide exactly what her majestys government required when you need to be classified documents have just been revealed painting the picture right here at the u. K. s National Archives. Governments interests should be well served by the new arrangement this influence would flow at the top level from reuters 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 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 via subscriptions and then later on the British Government to pay the b. B. C. Via compensation however it didnt come cheap in fact it cost 350000. 00 pounds which in todays money is millions 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 masterminds behind this were a shadowy section of the far enough Information Research department created in 1948 the covert goal was to create and spread anti soviet material during the cold war but have it damaged the News Agencies integrity and reputation well 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 1909 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 r. T. London we spoke to codirector of the organization for propaganda studies dr pierce robinson who says the same situation exists today between the Mainstream Media and the security services. Well im sure one would be naive to think very soon what process is worked. Even at this site im not sure the huge our last 20 years. Sure its the war on terror. And what we see it wont conflicts syria and iran receive an immense market. And of course shes a very good manipulation you just have to stand. Lou integrity in the u. K. Where youve seen this notion of the independent charity receiving mob sums of money in creating clusters of journalists in the academics you notice it basically sure to brush an agenda. And thats a very crude read all the secrets because. You point out in the last 20 years you seem to be. Fueled by whats in the governments now not be underpinned by began reading 3 mentions and so. Spain has been shaken by a massive explosion at a petroChemical Plant details on that story after a short break this is the internet. As the democrats gear up to officially start their 2020 president ial primary it is fitting to assess Donald Trumps performance in office a report card of sorts where is he kept his promises and where has he come up short will any of this really matter. Just one magic bullet you could actually come up with some of the top of his baby bonds talking about ways we get access to capital and capitalism is important so we could actually have programs that actually help folks who want to do that but when you give everybody a 1000. 00 im a poor person im going to consume that and if youre rich youre going to invest that equity the wealth disparity is going to grow because youre youre not using your money did that can so youre literally buy more crazy things and then my landlord knowing that ive got a 1000. 00 you just go raise my writ so then you get your place and go on and theyre happy. Welcome back this is archie international now a huge explosion at a petro Chemical Plant in the catalonia region of spain has claimed the life of one person and injured at least 8 more 2 are in Critical Condition another one is also missing and this is video from the Security Camera on the outside of a Bowling Alley which captured the moment of the explosion the blast in the port city of tarragon is described as having created a Mushroom Cloud of locals have been told to stay indoors while the authorities assess the situation because of the incident is not yet known at this stage. Israel says it is not going to with draw criticism leveled 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 antisemitism a middle east bureau chief has more. Well 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 for 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. Lets go back to our top story on my could pump a as latest remarks on u. S. Iran policy to quickly remind you the u. S. Secretary of state has painted the assassination of irans top general concepts of the money as part of a Bigger Campaign of deterrence now to discuss this we cross live to the director of the institute for gulf affairs thanks for being with us here on r. T. International thank you so do you think killing an iranian general is a good way to deter iran or any country for that matter for it from anything. I think. Thinks that. Its really hard to say if killing one officer in an army would make the country you know become she bush. But. What we see here is a greater determination on the iranian government and its allies in the region to make the United States leaves. The region in middle eastern history recent history we have seen israel for example s. S. And made the founders of hamas the head of hezbollah. And in yemen the persimmon the regime kill also the leader of a lot so it did not stop those small bits it made them out to be much more popular and stronger our mass is now stronger than it was 25 years ago as well as the same so i think here we have a problem that the mentality in state department in the white house is so disconnected and its so culturally insensitive it thinks that the killing of a man across the sea will scare his people this is way around i can just you know being in the russian station this is what hitler thought and until he was this is in the same line of thinking because hitler killed 26000000 russians but he ended up going down so there was some information that the u. S. Planned to kill one more iranian official along with all the money does that mean they have kind of a kilis so to speak. Of people that they want to take out. Yes last year in probably march or april i. Got wind of this list i didnt have all the names but that list was developed. Between the United States and saudi arabia and israel and some other countries to take these figures including to their money and. d the head of hezbollah. And also the head of. Yemen and some others so there is you know hes hes right theyve been doing this for a while its not just it was not that hes in this situation but the administration has decided to do that as their way of taking all the people who they dont like to see they see pender they have projects in the middle east and i dont again i think killing one man does not. Make abuse go away its actually has the opposite side then we will see by. It but time will tell and it will prove that point that it will be the enemy of the United States will be much stronger then after this and then before so pump a 0 also named it russia and china as potential threats what does this mean in the context of this new strategy and could other foreign officials also be kill killed at a whim or put on a killing. I think so were here again mask scum and asked this idea of supremacy that we we you know this is you can call it american supremacy that we can do whatever we want and its up to us to decide who is a threat or not this this type of mentality that wrapped into you know christian extremist ideology with White Supremacy with ideas of. This is really really disturbing and very dangerous i think and its not normal 2 year does come in odds with somebody who is running the state department this is extremely disturbing and im very disappointed that medic and Political Class is not speaking out against this. Crazy idea that we can go ahead and just kill anyone we dont like it doesnt mean people are not guilty of things but if we take this principle and this. Approach to every nationality to every country we are going to have really a mess and i want to because. Basically all these people older players including the United States they have blood on their hand of some exactly some other people so its if we take that approach and then is have a right to kill american soldiers and in a related gentles and its not acceptable it becomes a mess ali director of the institute for gulf affairs its really interesting to hear your thoughts thanks for being with us here not international thank you. Exiled cut along leader karla so pretty a month says he wants to return to spain he fled to belgium after a Spanish Court issued a european arrest warrant for organizing a banned independence referendum in catalonia in 2017 before any return however he needs assurances from of immunity from arrest through his new status as an m.
