the discontent with the regime. could it backfire, vali, if he gets too heavy handed on twitter or otherwise? could it backfire and give the regime a scapegoat to say this is all fostered by the outside enemies as the ayatollah said yesterday? i think that s already happened. he insulted the iranian people by saying they re finally wising up. he did open the door to say not only the united states and its allies may have instituted this but would like to benefit it to bring down the regime. and that allows the ruling elites to divide the population. there s a segment in population that may decide not to sympathize with the protesters if they believe it will create a national security crisis. i think to juan s point the president already played his hand that he was going to kill the nuclear deal regardless. a deadline was coming up in january for him to pull the trigger. it s not credible for him to say
not surprising given he was a nonpolitician but still has the same significance, vali. it s significant because steve bannon verifies for his base that all of this is true. so the president cannot just dismiss this as some kind of a democratic conspiracy against him. and when we go forward with all of the accusations against mueller and the questions of his credibility, this pushback in terms of the politics of it, as vali just said, the republican base. and the fact bannon felt that way at the time, or at least that s how he s construing it, adds credence, look, they were suspicious. these contacts should have been notified to the fbi. there was something wrong about all of this. i think that does add further fuel to the mueller investigation. juan zarate, vali nasr, great to have you both as we start the new year. that does it for a very busy day
he s taking this step now out of sympathy for the iranian people. i was going to say i don t think he necessarily has to pull out of the deal in order to use the sanctions especially the human rights and corruption angle. it gives him the ability to pressure. there s a way to add voice to the issue without making the u.s. the central character or protagonist. spotlighting human rights abuses, providing perhaps some communication support as iran cracks down on the internet, and galvanizing others particularly european voices to speak out on behalf of the protesters i think is important. they ve said they re doing that but they ve had trouble getting the europeans onboard because of concern that they don t agree with president trump on the nuclear deal, vali, and they don t agree with some of his more explosive tweets. the other issue is when is it that you do these things, with 20 deaths or with 2,000 deaths? and i think it looks like at
that we re so afraid up to seeing the huge black smoke rising from the volcano. so those of us who live in the danger zone decided to leave. the. airports in vali and lombok have been forced to close leaving thousands of tourists and business travelers stranded at. the critical. fifteen minutes ago i think that. everything is going to get the image that we have got from a ship because the gates to the ticket. could. get so we don t know what s it like in the overnight. the country s geological agency says the volcano is now spilling out lover and that indicates a major eruption could be imminent. but we spoke to david pyle
and with badges and chanted in chorus. perch and get asked. some have even brought cake for the president sixty fifth birthday but this was no party that usual. on those we want him gone on this quickly as possible and here s rule for eighteen years he s been president or prime minister for all of my adult years we believe people in power should face reelection in substantial not less i mean it s always just the most this is what we re here to support and vali who has called people out to ensure the future of the country because we want real competition in the upcoming presidential elections. the first degree murder charge the. police also break up protests in putin s hometown of sin petersburg hundreds were arrested across washington many subjected to brutal place treatment. force news now and in formula one the japanese grown prey has provided at the
