Cannot afford. To go to iran however has a weapon. And the requisite intelligence that. Nobody wants to see war in the gulf thats not in anyones interest. Also on the day the rapturous Toronto Raptors become the 1st known u. S. Team to win basketballs n. B. A. Championship. Its a space i cant say. Im from gail welcome to the program to get attacked this week in the gulf. Why should you care well setting aside the fact that for others in this area about a month ago you need. Understand what happened here in the strait of hormuz so lets start with oil 30 percent of the worlds seaborne oil passes through that narrow channel about 21 miles across at its narrowest stretch thats oil leaving kuwait iraq and other gulf countries going out into the indian ocean and on to worlds markets remember oil prices jumped as much as 4 percent within hours of thursdays attacks then just look at the jogger a fake iran to the north facing off against saudi arabia qatar the united emirates and oman the straits are a vast geo political significance any state carrying out attacks against shipping would be in violation of u. N. Rules and could face a massive and military response so whos behind the explosions the u. N. Has called for an investigation United States has already made its mind up here as u. S. Acting ambassador to the u. N. Jonathan cohen. The United States assesses that iran is responsible for these attacks. No proxy group in the area has the resources or skill to act with this level of sophistication iran however has the weapons the expertise and the requisite intelligence information to pull this off secretary pompei or outlined a litany of incidents which i also shared with the council that demonstrate the clear threat that iran poses to International Peace and security United States will continue its diplomatic and economic efforts to bring iran to the negotiating table and iran should meet us with diplomacy not with terror attacks on ships infrastructure and diplomatic facilities now robin wright is a Foreign Affairs analyst and writes about the tank attacks this week for the new yorker magazine shes based in washington welcome to day w a do you believe the United States has proved that iran is behind these attacks. I think theres still quite a few questions about what happened who did it the evidence and usually is very damning but its not accepted by much of the world and so i think there will be an Ongoing Investigation that a lot of countries will be interested in in seeing further details if you run was behind these attacks why would they why wouldnt they say. Well iran has often engaged in attacks with plausible deniability that was true in some of the attacks by its proxy forces whether in iraq lebanon or afghanistan the one big question of course is why would this have happened against a japanese tanker at the very day that the japanese Prime Minister made his 1st trip to iran in 40 years since the revolution and he was meeting with irans Supreme Leader an act by Iranian Revolutionary guards for example could have been very embarrassing for the Supreme Leader particularly because the japanese target was involved this is one of the many questions about the timing of this which is as the iranians claim somewhat suspicious. Of since the United States pulled out its a very very Iran Nuclear Deal the confrontation between the 2 countries has become increasingly a fractious what does washington want does washington really wants a new deal or does it want regime change. Thats a very good question i think it probably difference depending on who you ask within the administration President Trump has said repeatedly that he wants to do a deal he has said he is willing to meet with even the Supreme Leader of iran when he was at the United Nations last fall with meeting at the same time that the iranian president was in new york President Trump even said that president rouhani was probably a wonderful guy. There are bigger questions about what his National Security cant advise or john bolton wants bolton has repeatedly said before taking his current job that he wanted regime change and he was a paid spokesman for the leading arraigning in Opposition Group in exile so theyre probably a little bit different views on how much change. The u. S. Wants in iran is a change of behavior or is a change of the regime if it came to a military conflict which is what everybody fears and is doing their best to avoid if it came to a military conflict do you think donald trump would take america into this alone or would he be able to build a coalition of the willing. I really believe that donald trump does not want a war yet another war in the middle east for him the goal is to pull out troops whether its from iraq or afghanistan or syria the idea of going to war is in many ways a contradiction to everything that he has said he wants in u. S. Foreign policy at the same time it is clear that it ministration doesnt have much of a plan in terms of what happens next it is in some ways yeah even yesterday ruled out diplomacy when. He said in a tweet that iran does not appear to be ready and neither is the United States so the question is what happens next and i think the world is is deeply worried about that whether its the idea of does the United States and perhaps joined by some of its allies reflag the ships or provide military protection for tankers in the gulf to ensure their crieff lot of energy to the outside world. Does it deploy does the u. S. Deploy more ships around the persian gulf to try to intimidate or send a stronger signal to iran you know this is where that particularly with the divide between the United States and its closest allies in europe and as well as both russia and china who are also signatories to the nuclear deal in 2013 its very hard to see how the International Community speaks 11 with one voice when it comes to iran and that i think will complicate policy and what happens next for washington and for everybody else you mentioned the flag of ships america this is when we have been here before having to be under the reagan administration. Indeed and fact i covered in the 1980 s. During the 8 year iran iraq war in 1904 Saddam Hussein started targeting rainier and oil vessels and its oil terminal and car guyland and the iranians responded by attacking ships ferrying iraqi oil through the gulf it became very nasty and 1970 United States started reflag ships and for the next 15 months. There were a number of confrontations between iran and the United States the us targeted arraigning ships and at one point believing that iranian plane was flying overhead shot down an arabian passenger aircraft that killed all 290 people on board so the dangers of a reef lagging or a u. S. Military intervention on behalf of tankers could well get far more complicated conflicts have a way of doing that that they have unintended consequences these are worrying times robin wright from the new yorker magazine thank you so much for joining a doubly thank you. Of the World Health Organization is calling on the International Community to step up funding to fight the abode of epidemic in the democratic republic of congo this week that is the spread across the border to uganda leading to the death of a 5 year old boy and his grandmother this is the 2nd deadliest abode outbreak in history more than 1400 people have died but the w.

Nearly 20 millions primarily by just under 4000. 00 buses and 373 kilometers of metro rail this is delhi and taking public transport there is a challenge its what is particularly hard for women with safety and increasing concern delis government has proposed making travel by buses and metro free for women this is come in for criticism from some courses for the citys working class women its good news. For a day of work irani done but only for living as a cook and eat in a private home in central debbie. She has to ensure she leaves home on time every morning. Commute involves a 10 minute walk. Navigating daleys traffic. In order to catch a bus she only just makes it today. Its not an easy right. The bus is absolutely packed theres no air conditioning despite the blistering summer heat. Granny is lucky today she actually gets a seat she spends the equivalent of about 15. 00 to 17. 00 u. S. Dollars a month on the tickets its a hefty sum for her. But he says the worst part of a daily 45 minute commute is facing rampant had a cement and bully. Me. Here you face so much Sexual Harassment men deliberately press up against you the shameless often you dont get a seat male passengers occupy the sates reserved for women they refused to budge you have to fight to get it then there are pickpockets there are just so many hassles but i have no choice i have to get to work. But there may actually be a choice for women like rani in future. The Delhi Government says it plans to make all publicly funded buses as well as the metro free for women. Delis Metro Network is often hailed as a game changer in the citys bid to expand public transport. Its a far cry from the bumpy buses on the citys streets. Theres even a dedicated compartment to the women. Its widely considered the safest mode of transport. But tickets on cheap following say hikes last year Authorities Say women now make up just 30 percent of metro commuters that could change if the free rides become a reality the Delhi Government says its proposal to make public transport free for women would go a long way towards improving their safety in the city the argument is that accessible modes of transport will encourage more women to join the workforce and also allow them access to public spaces dominated by men. But on the streets of delhi opinions a shop be divided over the move. I think its a good move for women right now so many working women have to pay so much on just a meeting. As the only hate i dont believe this is a great decision this is totally arises you should install c. C. T. V. Cameras and so flag dock it fill it filling please a woman safety nor does making transport free of cost. Think its unfair for men because. They will have to pay more because theyre woman travelling free for women like rani who with her free public transport could be empowering. The 40 year old has never written on the metro but she says she would consider a joint right thank you i dont care if its free of course id love to try it and it would certainly be the just thing on the bus. Ronnies convinced that free rights we definitely get more women like her out of the home adding to an enhanced sense of safety in numbers. It may not match the headlines or the levels of Gang Violence the drug cartels of latin america but its still the biggest meth production in the world southeast asias notorious Golden Triangle this is a region between thailand laos and me and the drugs manufactured in manama used to be smuggled along the quickest route south for the military crackdown in times northern jungles block that now drugs gangs are turning to alternative route via laos. Its being called a National Threat and so time maybe units are out scouring the mekong river for illegal meth transports on their way from my own mom via las. But the border here is a long one and hard to police often the drugs are smuggled across by poor fisherman keen to make ends meet and drug gangs are resorting to new ways of evading bianculli. Going to the online that would be used drones to inspect the area the advancement of Technology Means drug sellers committal speck the border area to see whether there are soldiers or Security Forces so they can bring in the drugs. On the land border to last a major security operation is in place. Checkpoints where officials try to hinder the trade in meth destined not only for the club floors of southeast asias Tourist Centers but also much closer to home cheap drugs are destroying lives in many Rural Communities here this man in a remote village near the border says his addiction to pills cost him his money his friends and his health so we have people to. Use drugs for around 10 years or yeah. And i wanted to quit because i felt so exhausted and tired of it is so i did yeah.

Back on the banks of the mekong between thailand and laos. Rangers head out on patrol again in another effort to stem the flow of my almost meth supply through the Golden Triangle. This is the road to rob so erupted into wild celebrations to home to our Basketball Team raptors because no u. S. Team would be the championship beat fed champions the Golden State Warriors in game 6 in california. To see whose way theyre also the 1st Canadian Team to win a major. Bottom chevy is a rupture of the raptors from lucky shes made it to made time to be with us tonight since she was up all night watching the game improve for all those were d. W. So well to tanya for those of us in school and congratulations i suppose for those of us in school and schooled in the ways of the n. B. A. Why was this such a big deal well this is a really huge deal for toronto and for canada i mean as someone who was born and bred in tronto this is a huge deal for us all of my friends back home are going crazy the whole city is just partying theyre so excited and its the 1st time that a non American Team has actually won the n. B. A. Championship so this is a really big deal for tron or theyve only been around or the team rather the raptors the only been around for 24 years and theyre oh youre 21 when youre just its quite a long time well its a long time but compared to some of the other teams its not that well of a time and in this time period theyve never come this close to actually winning the closest ever came was in 2016 when they played the cavaliers and Le Bron James destroyed them in the Eastern Conference Finals so that was the only time they came the closest and this year was absolutely exceptional. Considering that they beat the Golden State Warriors the goals that were years our team who have. Championships under their belt so considering that theyve theyve beat steve curry Clay Thompson who was sadly injured and in last nights game and also Kevin Durants who is on the guns that were his team this is just something that was unprecedented and i dont think anybody could have predicted that trauma would be. So what was different about this year well i think there are a few things i learned is probably the most important factor and helping them when i mean he was very instrumental in there when he played for senator spurs last year and he was only able to play 9 games due to several really bad injuries that he had so this year the coach of the trainer raptors nick nurse he made sure that collar leonards time on the court was managed properly so that he wouldnt get any additional repetitive stress injuries and i think the fact that he would only play one game on one game off and one play every night of the week was really instrumental in him actually being such a great player this year and delivering and you also had really really great chemistry with some of the other players on tron i mean its not just how eyeliner that makes up the trauma rafters you also have kyle lowry you have freddie van vliet you have a cameroon player pascal siac and i think all together as a team they really need it and. Tell you about and certainly with thank you so much for talking us through that getting from you are going to be so much sleep now thank you thank you for having me.
