iran seeks to challenge the united states' decision to cease participation in the iran nuclear deal and to reimpose the sanctions that were lifted as a part of that deal or as attempt to interfere with the sovereign rights of the united states to take a lawful actions necessary to protect our national security. and iran is abusing that i suggest for political and propaganda purposes well that came after the ruling by the i.c.j. the international court of justice which ruled that the usa must lift some of the sanctions that are imposed on iran this year when it announced its withdrawal from the iranian nuclear accord they include allowing items such as medicines and medical aid as well as equipment needed for the safety of the civil aviation authority in iran that judgment also ruled that that treaty that was formed by the u.s. and iran back in one thousand nine hundred eighty five had been violated something iran had pressed the i.c.j. to rule on now this is not the first time that the usa has dismissed an international court or an international body and not abided by its ruling back in

now the iran nuclear deal was signed three years ago between toran five permanent u.n. security council members as well as germany it took almost a decade to thrash out that deal its main aim was to put an end to a long lasting standoff over iran's nuclear activities and discuss the issue further crossing live now to us are slotting from iran's task use agency thanks for joining us good to have you on the program what was the very big news today do you think this ruling of the international court of justice was expected or has it come to you as a surprise. oh well thank you for having me in fact this ruling by the u.n. top court is considered kind of a victory which was welcomed by the iranian foreign ministry today into iran over i was hearing that the diplomats into wrong there are. reaching a favorable the result from the court to rule in favor of iran however they were not sure that what the ruling of the court could be but they were hopeful that they could reach a good ruling from the court side and how do you think the u.s. is going to respond we're still obviousl

third world country and not worthy of art or to hide it in binary iran how if it make iran iran. you know so now go to. even forty years ago iran was already seeking acceptance on an international level and looking to free itself from western influences. tonne of only as guiding principle is an artist doesn't have to adhere to western ways of seeing in order to be an artist. and artists should not seek acceptance from outside himself neither from orient nor oxidant. the date of the berlin opening was approaching increasing media interest fueled criticism of the cultural exchange with the islamic republic from various quarters . one accusation was that germany would be giving iran money through the prussians cultural heritage foundation. to shrink it was amazing that the world's major museums pay low eighty's when loan fiends are expected then we say ok sorry we're out of that was clear to us from the outset and we quickly made it clear to our iranian colleagues that this is not about known fees but about a serious calculation of an exhibition of this kind of you know. all the art

in august iranian defense minister amira tani confirmed iran's memo to the hassan resume confirming iran would have a presence, participation, and assistance in the reconstruction of syria. increasing military escalation by russia in the province which has been temporarily averted on a russia turkey agreement threatens to exacerbate an already devastating humanitarian crisis with over 400,000 syria instead and over 6 million displaced. my question to the trump administration is this, what is your strategy? moreover, we don't even know what your long-term objectives are. i'm alarmed that the president's statements regarding his strategy on syria have been so overwhelmingly at odds with statements from his senior cabinet officials. earlier this year president trump stated that the united states would be coming out of syria, quote, like very soon" and that we should, quote, let other people take care of it now. naovely asserting that the ongoing conflicts in syria and the resulting humanitarian crisis there will no longer be of concern to the united states. in april after ordering missile s

and hezbollah and iranian agents in syria pressure on iran around the world pressure on iran and iraq especially southern iraq and ultimately perhaps even military action against iran in company with the us a saudi arabia and perhaps even israel as being ultimately the thing they will turn to if regime change doesn't come out come about some other way that's why i liken it to two thousand and two and two thousand and three it looks like the same road map to me all over again can america afford to deal with iran and cause instability there a force in neighboring iraq and afghanistan aren't even a livery at. asking my opinion absolutely no we can't look at it twenty two trillion dollars in debt looking at an interest payment on that debt that's going to equal the defense budget next year the next looking at almost no discretionary federal spending when you put those two things together the defense budget and the interest payment on the debt no we can't afford it but we seem to have leaders who like dick cheney and two thousand and two believe that deficits don't matter believe that as l

zero oil imports from iran. and it has almost totally lost japan that as of the end of september was down to a very, very tiny import volume of 22,000 pounds a day of iranian oil. nearly zero. taiwan also, a very small, and it is also zero. >> somewhere in the mid evaluate european union and turkey. european bars were still collectively taking and as was italy, greece and spain, still taking about 300,000 barrels a day of iranian oil, and about half of what they were importing when mr. trump announced the pullout from the iran nuclear deal in may. however, given the exposure of u.s. companies to the u.s. -- of the u.s. companies to the u.s. market, this does signal that the fact that they're still importing 300,000 barrels a day does signal some degree of defiance of u.s. policy or at least perhaps the anticipation for you that the administration will not take the confrontational step of actually imposing sanctions on any european companies. and the administration has basically continued the approach of the prev

then, we also have jim and joel making up the iran -- ending iran's presence. the units under control need to get out of syria. this is a diplomatic priority for jim's work. it's a priority for my work to impose sufficient pressure on iran that the cost-benefit analysis changes in terms of proliferation in syria extending also to iraq. we are trying to change the cost-benefit analysis and line behavior for iran and syria . >> is there any hope for partnering on a limited scope on stabilization and reconstruction. have using the calculus begin this change? is iran moderate its behavior or showing that it is not worse but part of the solution. >> when you saw the press reports, you then had attacks on our embassy a couple weeks ago and then you had attacks on saturday in bosnia and you also had missile launches so so we have the president who has signaled that we are taking what seems to be escorted tory behavior half of iran very seriously in america will take quick and decisive action to protect our properties and our people in iraq. so it's important the irani

are leaving iran in droves and on november 4th, more sanctions will hit iran's oil sector, and ayatollahs know, they know, under the president and mike pompeo's leadership, the united states will no longer turn a blind eye to their wicked ways. this is quite a record, quite a record. for just a few months the secretary of state, an office that has been held by some of the most distinguished statesmen in our history, names like jefferson, madison, i'm confident that future generations will also look kindly on the name pompeo even if they can't pronounce it. of course, secretary of state is only the latest accomplishment for mike pompeo. he graduated first in his class at west point, you may have heard a certain president say. he then served with the cavalry in europe after the cold war. after the army, it's true secretary pompeo took a wrong turn and became a lawyer. but he turned his life around as a successful businessman in his adopted home of wichita, kansas where his fellow kansans would later nominate him in repeated landslides. then he served in congress before serving as the 70th s

iran argue that sanctions reimposed after u.s. president donald trump pulled out of the twenty fifty nuclear deal in may violate a little known french agreement that predates the one nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution the court agreed but didn't call for the complete lifting of sanctions falling short of the resulting decision that iran would have wanted when judges did ask the us not to interfere with banking transactions related to food medicine and air safety. but even as the judge read the ruling its practical application remains a question mark and any history made here by the i.c.j. judges is likely to be symbolic at best both. refrain from any action which might a good heavy or extend the dispute before the court or make it more if it goes towards so with no policing mechanism to enforce its decision in practical terms the court's judgment is more recommendation than ruling while the u.s. does not recognize the authority of i.c.j. judges it did take iran to court back in one nine hundred eighty when it was still a

state department has backed the move we've seen what iran has done in syria we've seen right iran has done in other countries we see iran's devastation that it causes around the world as the world's stop top sponsor of terrorism. that comes after iran's ambassador to the u.n. accused saudi arabia of sponsoring terrorism during his address at the recent u.n. general assembly meeting held in new york everybody knows very well that saudi arabia supports terrorism and a very blatant and widespread manner in the framework of we keep the x. in two thousand and nine hillary clinton is said to have stated that saudi arabia is the greatest you know to terrorist groups around the world. according to those documents obtained by wiki leaks events secretary of state hillary clinton called saudi arabia the most significant source of funding to sunni terrorist groups worldwide she also allegedly names saudi arabia a critical financial support base for al qaeda the taliban and other terrorist groups let's cross live now to. who is a political scientist thank you very much for being with us here march

and leaders into iran say it's all. the beginning it could have gone differently iran could have conducted a ground campaign in tandem with syrian allies but flying its own missiles through iraqi air space to hit a target inside syria by itself is about sending a message to everyone with a military presence there think twice before threatening iran. the united nation's highest court has rejected a request from bolivia to order chile to negotiate with it over access to the sea but libya's president ever met alice travel to the netherlands to attend the hearing at the international court of justice this country lost its only coastline to chile in a war one hundred thirty five years ago but the court ruled that a treaty in one thousand nine hundred four settled that matter and chile had not made any undertaking to negotiate the call. by too early vote to three find the republican of chile did not undertake a legal obligation to negotiate his submarine access to the pacific ocean for the nation state of bolivia. i suppose i

the united states makes our action against iran, balancing iran more complicated. >> questions. >> let's see. in the back here.>> we will get a microphone to you. >> and introduce yourself. >> american enterprise institute. mister ambassador, thank you for taking the time to speak with us. i was wondering if you have any insight on the french russian relationship and more specifically if france has any hope for the upcoming trump summit and the inf treaty in general. x you know, at 1st i start by your remark, if moral remark which is i don't know if it's indicative of the united states . you joined on friday i guess, on friday you had a summit in istanbul between the french president, german chancellor, the turkish high president and the russian president. talk about syria. france, germany, turkey , russia. don't you think is missing there? and it's very true, it's very strange because for us it was a major event, it was covered by the american press area partly covered. it's really, i want only to emphasize this point, because we are as an embassy, we had to send a report about the reac

and hezbollah and iranian agents in syria pressure on iran around the world pressure on iran and iraq especially southern iraq and ultimately perhaps even military action against iran in company with the us a saudi arabia and perhaps even israel as being ultimately the thing they will turn to if regime change doesn't come out come about some other way that's why i liken it to two thousand and two and two thousand and three it looks like the same road map to me all over again can america afford to deal with iran and cause instability there a force in neighboring iraq and afghanistan aren't even over yet. asking my opinion absolutely no we can't look at it twenty two trillion dollars in debt looking at the interest payment on that debt that's going to equal the defense budget next year the next looking at almost no discretionary federal spending when you put those two things together the defense budget in the interest payment on the debt no we can't afford it but we seem to have leaders who like dick cheney in two thousand and two believe that deficits don't matter believe that as long

iran seeks to challenge the united states decision to cease participation in the iran nuclear deal and to reimpose the sensors that were lifted as part of that deal our correspondent will have an update for you later this hour on that u.s. iran sanctions battle as well as america's problematic relations with international bodies. and the u.k.'s conservative party conference has wrapped up in the city of birmingham and despite speeches of unity the prime minister's position is under further scrutiny from our own party just moments before to resume a was you to give a closing speech she was dealt yet another blow with a letter of no confidence that hasn't apparently dampened spirits the. the reason why small victories you can see as she approached the podium. to be the prime minister responding to those who mocked her daughter's move so what i'm tall and africa back in august going to the store. certainly curious political times here in the u.k. as we speak and this annual conservative party conference has wrapped up to quite a bit of drama despite british prime minister theresa may putt

calling on the world to isolate iran. well he is pretending that the world community is actually happy with him withdrawing from the iran nuclear deal which is ridiculous he was followed by macro and who was very clear in saying we need engagement we need to plan this the we need dialogue and. macron is not the only one upset with the united states about this it's all of the other signatories to the deal and let's remember the deal with also approved by the entire european union and by the entire security council so the us is the outlier in this and i think the rest of the world except for a few places in the gulf and in israel are seeing the u.s. as going down a very very dangerous path trying to strangle the iranian economy making things miserable for ordinary people in iran and trying to get the people in iran to rise up on the one hand the administration says it doesn't want to it's not going for regime change and yet you have done all trumps lawyer rudy giuliani just this week talking to the the and meek a terrorist

state department has backed that move we've seen what iran has done in syria we've seen right iran has done in other countries we see iran's devastation that it causes around the world as the world's top sponsor of terrorism. that comes after iran's ambassador to the u.n. accused saudi arabia of sponsoring terrorism during his address add to the recent

it is on saudi arabia when he would like it on iran iran and so how do you get it back on iran and i suspect that the gateway to doing that is through syria and the so-called iranian forces that are in syria and when i say that just let me be clear i want to of course through iranian advice but i don't believe there are any formal arabian units as military formations of. evidence of bin is gone they've gone they're not there and they've even left before the airport that israel how much of the russians have to do with that do you think are likely and the russians hear this because they then put in there are three hundreds in the next day so there was clearly an attempt by iran to help pressure if you like in its discussions with the united states they were in with israel and with israel but i do think that what's going to happen i think that trump will try and is succeeding to keep m.b.a.'s in place moment in selma. and one of the reasons probably is because there's actually no more any effective rival or challenger candidate that could take days or of that he made sure of that so the

should lift sanctions on humanitarian goods to iran iran has hailed the decision by the international court of justice as a victory but washington says the i.c.j. has no jurisdiction in the matter so in basra the reports from tehran. in the case of iran versus united states of america the fifteen member bench of the international court of justice ordered the american government to make sure that sanctions against iran do not impact humanitarian aid or civil aviation the united states of america in accordance with its obligation is under the nine hundred fifty five treaty of amity economic relations and concert a lot of writers shall remove by means of it choosing any impediment is arising from the measure this announcement on eight may twenty thousand to the free exportation to the territory of the islamic republic of iran of medicine is on medical devices food stuff is going to cultural commodities despair parties equipment and associated services including one t.v. maintenance repair services and inspection is necessary for the safety of aviation iran argued that sanctions reimposed

and iran back in one thousand nine hundred i had been violated something iran had pressed the i.c.j. to rule on now this is not the first time that the usa has dismissed an international court or an international body and not abided by its ruling back in june of this year we know that the u.s. withdrew from the human rights council calling it a cesspool of political bias it was also an attack by donald trump in september so last month on the international criminal courts over a possible action that could be taken against americans who are alleged to have committed war crimes in afghanistan as far as america is concerned the i.c.c. has no jurisdiction no legitimacy and no authority. the i.c.c. playing near universal jurisdiction over the citizens of every country. violating all principles of justice fairness and due process whether ron had welcomed that ruling today saying that that ruling showed that the u.s. sanctions were cruel and illegal against the people and the citizens of iran but it doesn't seem like that ruling is going to change the opinion of the united states we know tha

iran's most famous sculptor remembers it all well. parviz town of ali teaches here at the mom their institute of art in tehran one of his sculptures was to be sent to the exhibition in berlin. for him and essential aspect of the exhibition was to show the mutual influence of already and and oxidant. proud of how in guitar the whole of powder how you get your you know about me it's about the intersections between iranian and western culture give us our workers often influenced by western schools because we didn't have our own tradition of sculpture. we had a poetic and literary tradition but we had very little tradition when it comes to spatial content except in architecture. i've got it for you on their mentality today is very iranian. today's iranian woman wants to express herself to show herself in the best possible light. that the. chance when i turn forty or fifty years ago that didn't exist i mean everyone was emulating the west. today they're proud of themselves and that is a good thing so they used techniques his instruments fo
