Elect, joe biden has hinted he wants back on track, but with the days developments, hows his chances go in before even reaching a very warm welcome to our to international my names. You know, neal on 30 minutes of news and views start, know, a scientist labeled the father of the Uranium Nuclear program has been killed in the outskirts of tehran. A local reporter told me more about whats known about the deadly incident, which is being called an assassination on terror attack by around Senior Iranian scientist was killed on a highway near to iran. Theres not much detail about number of people involved in the attack, or number of People Killed in the incident, and skirmish tag took place some 75 kilometers outside to iran, north east of tehran, near the resort city of stat. You know, apparently he did. Traffic was quite less day usual in comparison to the other days. And the terrorists apparently caught into the vehicle of the scientists. Newsmedia, stayed out there was an explosion, and then there was a gunfire. Berridge of gunfire bids been the Security Officials and sasan tactic, which is killing on the roll is similar tactic those attacks that carried out almost a decade ago. There was the result of such assassinations on a rainy and scientists big claim, fly over top. Iranian scientists, iranian officials have already pointed the finger of blame. Israel. There has been no comment as yet from that country. Prime minister, though, been here in the new year, has previously accuse the earth scientists that being the driving force behind irans alleged Nuclear Weapons program, which tehran has constantly denied, was ever in existence. Arties eliot, the tranquil, told me more earlier . Well, were getting all indications that this was a well coordinated, complicated attack on the man that some western intelligence agencies have flagged. As the person behind irans alleged covert Nuclear Weapons program to rand firmly denies wanting anything like it. So this situation is nowhere near something in which the killer just points a gun at the victim and then shoots and kills here it was much more complicated, like i said, because explosives were used and there were even reports that this could have been a suicide attack. Then gunfire followed the explosion which left the vehicle with the scientists bullet marked. So this explains why the Iranian Defense ministry called this a terrorist attack from the very beginning, but all of that couldnt kill the man. Immediately he was taken to hospital where he died. So once again, here, were talking about a prominent Iranian Nuclear scientists. He had a team of bodyguards trying to protect them, but that couldnt save his life though the world i think is waiting to see what to run is going to do. Has to be any clue as to what the reaction, the initial reaction from tehran, senior officials . What have they been saying about this . Who did this . Whats going to happen . While the Iranian Foreign minister is making it clear once again that iran purely treat this as an act of state terror, jawad zarif is pointing the finger at israel, and also he is demanding International Attention to wrists, murdered an imminent iranian scientists. Today. This cowardice with serious indications of this really rule show desperate warmongering of perpetrators. Iran calls on the International Community and especially you see and their shameful double standards and condemn this act of state terror. Well, so far there has been no response from israel and charlie at this point. We cannot make any conclusions about possible connections between this murder and also the rhetoric that we have been hearing from israeli officials on Irans Nuclear activities. But the fact is that 2 years ago and 28. 00 taking the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu called up the name of the murdered scientist and accused him not only of being behind the alleged military element of irans Nuclear Program years ago. But also he accused them of continuing to covertly run the program up until present times. Remember the main focus of the so heres director right here. And he says, the generally is to announce the closure project. But then the special activities, you know, what the special activities will be carried out under the title of scientific know how developments and in fact, this is exactly what iran proceeded to do. It continued this work in a series of organizations over the years. We just put this in context, the story of the iranian Nuclear Program, at least in the past 2 decades, has resembled a game of nonstop ping pong. If i may put it this way, that is to iran, constantly repeating and trying to convince the International Community that its Nuclear Activities are purely of a peaceful nature. And then also the anti to ron international law, be led by israel, constantly repeating that iran is only trying to fool the world. However, it seems that a bit more than 5 years ago, israel and its political allies, started losing this game of ping pong because the most Important International players, including the u. S. And russia, were able to hammer out the socalled iran nuclear deal. And in fact, International Observers were let into the country and they didnt find any proof of military activities on Irans Nuclear sites. Though at some point the status quo was broken because of a decision by the Donald Trump Administration to quit the deal which led to a situation in which to iran decided to abandon some of its commitments. There you have that tension and an extra wave of the sort of say Irans Nuclear crisis. And now we have this murder of a rainy and Nuclear Scientist which will definitely have international consequences. Or we got some thoughts from guests in both iran and israel, in the immediate aftermath of the killing. Of course, this assassination is illegal and its an act of war. He was a high ranking iranian official, when they see a spires arrested in iran. A terrorist is arrested in iran, immediately western human rights organizations, governments, the media pundits, experts all say that theyre innocent as if they have some sort of insider information. Yet when these attacks are carried out, these attacks are carried out with the help of spies with the help of terrorists, and they gloat over it. And instead of condemning it, they go and you know, they try to make him look as if hes evil. So this is the hypocrisy that we see in the western media and among western governments. These laws will respond. So you cannot put the blame on israel. Everything is possible in the middle east and in prison, these bodies and then to fire them. And if the israelis behind it, lets see if those people are really israelis right now, i doubt very much, we know a lot of the names of gauge the in this project their names were published in these really press a few times that this doesnt mean that these were these behind this assignation. Incomes are really in relations with the u. S. Are essentially at rock bottom. This week we had the news that donald trump was going to launch an attack on iran, but was talked out of it by key advisers. Then youve got his administration also having previously pulled out of the hard fought nuclear pack, which was struck back in 2015 and future talks are growing ever more complicated with that in mind. Well, artys killam open has been outlining the tense. The placea right now between washington and tehran . Well, the trajectory of u. S. Iran relations over the past few years has been quite negative. Things have been moving in quite a bad direction between the 2 countries. Donald trump has presided over a situation where the usa and iran are moving further apart, and prominent iranians have been killed. Back in january, donald trump ordered a drone strike directed against qassam solomonic that resulted in qassam somani death. And that caused outrage throughout the region. He was a leader of the Islamic Revolutionary guards. He ran military operations against isis ill, to protect christians in syria, and in iraq. And he was designated as a terrorist by the United States. Now when he was killed, there were protests throughout the region. There was, there were protests in the arab world in pakistan, and yemen in turkey. There were also protests in response to that killing by donald trump. A huge amount of outrage. Many voices internationally spoke up and felt this was a very unnecessary escalation of tensions between the United States and iran. And we also recall that prior to that assassination, donald trump had withdrawn from the iran nuclear deal. He pulled out of the jay c. P. O. Away and he said it was the worst deal of the century. This is donald trump. I recruit from the last administration was disastrous. If i didnt terminate that stupid, the deal was a disaster. The agreement that was, it was a disaster. Now the escalations havent only been directly between the United States and iran, but weve seen an embracing by the United States of netanyahu. And his feeling that there needs to be an escalation with iran in the region. You know, we saw donald trump move the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem, and recently we saw mike pompei oh, go on a tour of the middle east and, you know, tout the fact that at this point, there are some governments in the arab world that have recognized israel and it seems like the effort of the United States is to mobilize and polarize the region between israel and iran. Take a listen to my palm, pale thanks to president troop. The u. S. Pulled out of the Nuclear Review with the wrong place. Crippling sanctions on the union regime and eliminated the mood to close them soon would be a record speaks for itself. During the trip administration, america stands with israel like never before. Now, many were hoping that things may change with joe biden in the white house after all, joe biden was Vice President under barack obama, and it was the Obama Administration that negotiated the iran nuclear deal, which donald trump pulled out up. However, and then or many are looking at whats happened since the signing of the Iran Nuclear Agreement in 2015 and seeing the United States pulling out of that agreement more sanctions being placed on iran, the killing of qassam solomonic. Now there is the incident which took place today with the killing of this Nuclear Scientist. And many are wondering if that is really possible. Is there really hope for the United States and iran to sit down once again and make any progress in, in bettering the relationship between the 2 countries . It will certainly be difficult for a biden ministration. If indeed they intend to take these moves more to the program. Now, investigative journalist, rick sterling for his take rick, good to see you. You have to run all but blaming israel directly for the attack, although its given no evidence. Are u. S. Convinced . Yes, i think its highly likely that the New York Times is reporting and they usually have an inside track on these things. Both israeli and american intelligence is the thing the nation was done by israel. He was irans top Nuclear Scientists with his own team of bodyguards, and yet he was killed inside iran, just outside the capital. When you heard that out, rick, how surprised were you that that could have happened . Well, you know, in one way it is surprising. In other way, its not. Israel has a history of been gauging in very provocative actions at the times where theres a transition and in the u. S. Presidency before president obama came into office right up until the last day or the preceding 48 hours. Israel was bombing gaza arming it ceaselessly. So in one sense, were, were not surprised to see some kind of provocative action from israel. How grif do you think the danger is now that iran will, in essence of it, in return, its got a lot of, ah, lies in that region. You know . Yeah, i think its very dangerous. The organization, the American Organization code pink, has been very quick to produce a statement and a petition that is rapidly gaining signatures every few seconds. People are signing on to this petition and theyre condemning the assassination as illegal. Dangerous and an assault on diplomacy, which is exactly what donald trump was reportedly talk of a military strike strike on iran just last week. The coincidence is it is a standing amid fears. It would draw the region into a wider conflict. Thats of partly why he did not do it, but does that danger exist right now . Do you think . Yes, i think its i think its very serious. Its very provocative. Netanyahu is somebody who goes to extremes, as we know hes got his own court case looming. And so desperate actions would not be surprising. They engage in provocative behavior like just a few days ago. Israel attacked attack syria again. So its a dangerous time. I think its really high time for european and other countries to step forward and put a leash on israel to say that, you know, if is enough, this kind of provocative behavior is in danger. In millions of people around the world. We know that the incoming by the administration presents a potential sea change in foreign policy, and indeed they are in your deals been mentioned, could not account for, for the timing, at least of such a killing the last few months of on going president. Right. I think, i think thats one factor that netanyahu and the far right in israel wants to talk to. And by biden is a man who crossed decades in washington and in the congress. He never once voted for resolutions that were critical of israel. So youve got a very short run regarding being object with israel, but right now is the time where and this position that im in being youre calling on you were. So i think it really high time that you dont pressure on the incoming president biden. And in the spring as well, european leaders to tell israel to this is unacceptable. This is an attack on, on international crime. We do, of course, have to stress on the program that israel has not confirmed, or its even commented on what happened on friday in tehran as yet well await, to see what comes or what is talked about there. Rick, starting investigative journalist live in the program. Thank you. And the come shameful. Now this how the french president has described the salvage beating of a black man by police in parlous, which was caught on camera. The victim had reportedly been targeted for not wearing a face mask at 1st. All the details are not saying 90 seconds and counting its certainly being isolated, its not good for your mental health, not good for your general, for states this may make you more when you get infected. This issue of cross immunity with both is if youre not saying its all, suppose you may be more to shoot you in the future. So i certainly do not think a good through Peoples Health and very bad for peoples mental join me every thursday on the alex simon, chill. And ill be speaking to the world of politics or business. Im show business just approaching 20 minutes into the program. Welcome back. The french president has reportedly been left shocked by violence c. C. T. V. Footage which captured the moment for Police Officers beat a black man in parlous michels eckler. A music producer was tracked by the authorities to a studio for not wearing a mask. Were about to show they Security Camera video. You may find that the story. There are also photos showing the extent of the mans injuries. Again, some graphic imagery as a heads. Michelle was left with head and facial wounds. He also toward tendon. He was initially placed in Police Custody where he spent 48 hours, and only after that up was he seen by a doctor, a charges of violence and rebellion against him being dropped. Following the emergence of the video evidence. And it was very hard when they fired tear gas that was at the back. I tried to call my lawyer. I tried to call a lot of people and even a neighbor heard my screams. He called me and asked whats going on. I explained its been attacked and he wanted to call the policeman. It was the police. Its outrageous. I cant even tell you what im waiting for. But i wish of course, that this never happens again to anyone. Whether there are cameras or not, it should never happen, but the police are here to protect us. According to local media reports, the officer said the initially following the wearing of a mask on the street suspicious. It is illegal in france at the moment to a quote, drug smell was emanating from him. And he also claimed he tried to attack them and grab their weapons. The 4 officers have not been suspended on a criminal inquiry, has been launched into the case, but shows lawyers say stuff. The video saved her client from prison. You know if theyre hitting him with their telescopic badness, they dont stop hitting him. This video last for 12 minutes of violence in the video is essential because my client was initially in detention. They detained him, accused of violence against a Person Holding public authority. So its essential and its extremely serious. If we didnt have this video, perhaps my client would be in prison for an extremely serious infraction. Well, virt incident happened to the backdrop, really of a new security bill thats caused widespread protests in france if passed in january. It would make sharing video or images of the polies illegal if its dissemination. But the officers in harms way. We heard from a member of the committee against police violence. They say is cases like this show filming the police at times in public. We are again seeing police violence. The video from the Security Camera was actually taken by the victim. Its a private video. It proves that the Police Report was false. This is just one of countless cases in france. We are dealing with. They have been lots of them recently. For example, the case of cedric which was widely covered by the media with Police Officers following him and reports from it. And then video proves it folks. The situation was different. Unfortunately, the Justice System seems to take the word of the police for this reason video that captures the police in action is needed 1st to start an investigation, as in this case. And secondly, to provide sufficient evidence. A top court in germany has ruled berlin isnt a lawyer for war. Crimes resulting from u. S. Drone strikes, launched from its soil. Washington has coordinated a number of operations through the Ramstein Air Base. Now that the lawsuit of the yemeni nationals has been tonight, the federal Administrative Court has explained that a general admission for protection in favor of foreigners in Foreign Countries can exist. But southern quire means differently than the higher administrative warrant. Where this ruling in light sig means that the German Government has no responsibility to guarantee that u. S. Drone strikes that are operated from a u. S. Base on german soil. That they adhere to International Human rights law that they fall within the remits that overturns a ruling in a german court in munster last year, which said exactly the office. Its in said that berlin did bear responsibility. It also went on to say that the German Government knew u. S. Missions that would be operated from the Ramstein Air Base in the south of germany violated international law. And the case was brought originally back in 2014 by human Rights Groups representing the families of yemeni people who had been killed by u. S. Drone strikes. One of those family members spoke to the press following the ruling at this case at the court in light sick. And he said, it is a severe blow. My family cannot live free from fear while these drones flying with germanys help hover over a community in yemen, threatening to bring death and destruction. U. S. Drone strikes have targeted yemen for well over a decade. The main targets have been al qaeda terrorists operating on the ground, but they havent been the only ones that have been struck. Weve also, according to the, the bureau for investigative journalism, seeing 200. 00 civilians or at least 200. 00 civilians with around 50 children, also being killed in these airstrikes. Now the European Center for constitutional and human rights based here in berlin is described. The ruling is disappointing. One of their lawyers going even further on social, he said that the court has chosen to believe the word of the government, the United States, that since 2001 has employed torture, kidnap, and killing under the guise of fighting against terrorism. This is clearly a lot of very high temperatures running here over this court ruling. In fact, reprieve the Human Rights Group that helped finance the yemeni familys court case. They are extremely unhappy with this ruling. What were talking about here is a secret to Cessation Program that killed scores of civilians each year. It is simply unsustainable and despite the ruling very clearly unlawful. Well, earlier this year in may, the United States put out a statement in which they said that they killed no civilians in their drone strike operations in 2019. They had put out a similar statement saying that theyve killed no civilians in 2018 as well. But the statements are highly disputed by human Rights Groups whove been working on the ground. Ortiz peter all over taking us through that. We all took up the thoughts of martin dogs or a German Left Party member who told us berlin shouldnt have done to us pressure. I think the German Government and lets say the german leitz. They are afraid of, disappointing. d the n. R. A. , the United States of america and their government. But i think international law. d and the human rights should stand in the middle of any decision although caught in the middle. d of any decision over government and there should be no. d pressure to conduct well crimes, and we have information information and there is evidence as well that drones killing civilians. And this has to be taken into account the German Government test of the true. What happens in the base of writing style is under control of the u. S. Army. And so under the control in the last instance, you know, the u. S. Government to allow a mind to into the mind of the lift. These should be close because this control issue will monitor news or not, but try not to go too far as more great programs get their start in moments. Find out what showing where ever you are today. After the shortest, the breaks what weve been saying, those 2011 dead initially are price targets for big oil even back when it was a dollar. He said, based on the Global Forest market in the gold market, we could see because you go to 100000 dollars. 6 months ago, i said, ok, it looks like big point is going to challenge gold. Therefore we got to raise our price target to 400000. 00. But youre right, you have to also look at the price of gold here because the gold price could get cut in half because people are literally throwing in the street like garbage like about as well and all of our pain theyre buying. Instead its been decades since the fall of spains fascist regime, but old wounds still havent healed in the times when. And its because of me from, you know, the people who suppose to me in the past, at the source, me knew that an interest in the scene caused me to, you know, of newborn babies were torn from their mothers and given away and forced adoption.
