Today President Donald Trump signed off on new sanctions against russia but by one indications it wasnt with the greatest enthusiasm. First it happen behind closed doors and then came his statement shortly after that the north was quite significantly floored. Moscow shot back with threats of retaliation the Bbcs Rajini Vaidyanathan joined me a short time ago. Origine whats most giving saying well the russian Prime MinisterDmitry Medvedev has taken to facebook another. Of world leader the likes using social media to wish you a very long been strongly worded statement ill just go through some of the main points. He says that that the sanctions bill evans hope of improving relations with the new Trump Administration. He says it amounts to a fully fledged economic warned russia and says the Trump Administration has shown weakness relations are going to be extremely tense he says. Sanctions a meaningless but overall we will cope and of course jane this comes up a few days off to russia showed what retaliation might look like. By announcing that would come out at u. S. Diplomatic stuff in the country so seven hundred fifty five at some all russian locals losing that positions so moscow not happy donald trump isnt happy. Only though why not what he as you say said it was extremely flawed in many ways he felt button holed and pressured into signing this bill because lee wordes that he has a see ya in a businessman. Knows how to make deals better than Congress Immigration also back on the agenda today the Trump Administration been cracking down on ilLegal Immigration today it was tackling Legal Immigration whats the plan yes the flagship policy at during the election. Campaign of course jane at the Trump Administration says it wants to reduce the number of people coming in on Green College in legal immigratio. So they going to introduce they say appoints based system similar to the ones that we seem in canada and australia. Retaining thanks as always. W. S. Is conducted a test of of of an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile just days after north korea conducted its own icbm launched the second in a month. The us military said this was not in direct response but showed that Americas Nuclear capability wall safe secure and effective. Yesterday the us secretary of state tricks to listen spoke about the threat posed by north korea and the need to work with china to tackle it. But a short time ago i spoke with former Us Ambassador to south korea chris held. About that i think you very much for joining me at the u. S. Says that its missile launches not in response to recent activity from north korea but what do you make of it especially given the volatility of the. Situatio. I think theres an effort to show the North Koreans that were prepared in every way shape and form to deal with there are. Released frankly these pretty horrendous provocations and their military Testing Program so i think what youre saying is are an effort to show the North Koreans that data. Everythings on the table and bella. You know we would like to see our you know better a better end of this thing and not on some kind of military. Approach. What about tool spend a somebody whos been involved in direct talks with north korea would that be any benefit right now to opening up about donald . Well i think the benefit to talking about talk says secretary chiller since i did. Yesterday was to suggest that not only to the North Koreans but also to the south korean public which could become. A little concerned about the u. S. To the fact that we are prepared to talk so i think its. The right thing to do to say that. I ask for whether it would have any effect at this point. Others no indication the North Koreans are prepared to talk on the basis of denuclearization theyre prepared to talk as well one nuclear. State to another but i think its important to kind of reiterate so we always prepared to to talk. Im most about china though because everyone keeps saying that china is the key to resolving this but how do you persuade china to take a tougher stance. Well i think china is the key and i think. If this problem is eventually salt will look back and see that we worked with china and not against china. That said i think President Trump. Has had a view of chinese cooperation which is more akin to somehow just outsourcing the problem ought to china and chinas not prepared to do that. And i think overall the we can see some deterioration in the. Tone of our discussions with china china does not like to be addressed through our through tweets and. I think things are not looking very hopeful on that score right now and said i think the chinese would like to see this. Problem behind them but. We clearly dont have a way forward yet with the chinese so what will it take to de escalate the situation. I think we need to show china that were really serious about this after all these are missiles pointed at us the United States. This is a situation we havent faced and a number of decades i think china for small needs to respect the problem and needs to respect the fact that the problem is very much. I directed against the United States secondly i dont think we should get into discussions with china just on the question of. How do we get north korea in some way shape or form back to talks we need to have a discussion with the chinese . Or what we can do together to make sure this problem goes away and i hope the chinese can. Come to understand that we have a problem and we have to solve it thank you very much indeed for joining me.
