united states insists on its models. north korea insists on their own, providing for the korean peninsula. managing deterrence, this approach is not aimed at the elimination of nuclear weapons in north korea, but different limitation. the roadmap offers not denuclearization, but demilitarization of the north korean nuclear program. the model proposed by chinese scholars, which provides leading north korea with a small amount of nuclear weapons, considers an approach, some weaknesses and strengths, but they have a common drawback. it should be noted that none of these approaches takes into account the motivational factors for north korea to possess nuclear weapons. and it's strategic goals. there are different approaches to motivation behind the north korean nuclear program. an isolated state, revisionist state. korea, ifion, north we compare statements of its leadership, official statement in state media with the main basics of approach to foreign political values, we see there is much in common. , motivations to possess

a lot of good points peter because i agree i mean first of all the united states is basically saying to all the countries of the world this is who you can buy oil from this is who you cannot buy oil from when you were in force of years upon years to which may not be your views by using the position that the dominant position we have through the reserve currency status of the dollar you will risk for i mean for your companies if you don't obey what we say and in effect the united states is trying to impose an economic blockade only rom by stopping its oil exports and it isn't forcing it on all other countries and it is doing so outside the provision. ns of the un charter and outside the powers of the un security council which under chapter seven of the united nations charter is the body which is also right to impose sanctions and economic is on its let's say actually a declaration of war is this a sign i. see it comes very close to being that are i don't think we're in a situation of armed conflict but of course we can easily see how it could develop into this because we're since the

any prosecution by the united states of. wiki leaks publishing operations would be unprecedented and unconstitutional and would open the door to criminal investigations of other news organizations moreover prosecuting a foreign publisher for violating u.s. secrecy laws was searched am especially dangerous precedent for u.s. journalists who routinely violate foreign secrecy laws to deliver information vital to the public's interest now this is also being reiterated by human rights watch they've called the songes arrest a dangerous precedence for any news organization saying jim less might now have to think twice before publishing news of public importance or government scrutiny as well now the general counsel of the organization said that the trumps administration's open hostility to mainstream media has also contributed to an increasingly dangerous environment really for investigative journalism all over the world now there are all those who would say that it's a bit rich calling us saw a journalist why is this an issue. wel

that is a huge victory for the united states. what retrieve the situation for lincoln in 1864, you got half of it, is atlanta is half of it and because americans than, now have short memories, the shenandoah valley coming closer to the election, also played a key role there. i do not pretend that things in the western not important. the eastnt is that looms larger and that people in various ways made that clear. and i think that if the west were really the most important think youdo not can really overestimate grandes importance in all of this. 18nt is the man by early extent for pure he has become the man by what he has done in the west by shiloh, vicksburg, and chattanooga, and it allows sherman to become what he was, because without grant, you do not have sherman. sherman absolutely needs grant. so grit makes his name in the west. he could have stayed in the that he comesfact east, and more than that, the fact that he accompanies the army of the potomac, i think, suggests just how vital it was in terms of perception in the uni

position party saying a songe should not be extradited to the united states and that this was all about exposing the us military atrocities in iraq and afghanistan let's take a listen now to both the local and international starts all of this. this whole story with the prosecution and hounding with establishing inhumane living conditions is consigning to oblivion the rights of the freedom of speech to someone eating and summation it is something that it's absolute if you think that i mean that we are talking about that. war. abuses and by elation of your mind i mean that a far right. we absolutely reject julian assange just naturalization and the handover of this australian journalist to the united kingdom in a shameful act surrendering our sovereignty the extradition of julian the sons to the us for exposing evidence of atrocities in iraq and afghanistan should be opposed by the british government one day we saw julian assange being forced out of the ecuadorian embassy looking reeses be stressed and he was essentially being carried into that police van which was waiting for him outside

states it is very easy to see how the united states could start expanding this strategy by doing all sorts of things like perhaps attacking iranian oil installations or doing other dangerous things well you know it is crimes but alexander iran also has a tools in its toolkit. the straits of power movies i think you know what i'm getting at here if it if iran is going to suffer so tremendously and it might around can turn around and others will suffer too i don't think that's it once a do that it's the last resort but it's certainly possible absolutely this is why we originally had the j.c. p.l.m. because there was an assessment not just by the united states and the barman instruction but by the world powers that there was a balance of force if you like in this in this area and in that situation you needed to pursue a compromise and that compromise was the j.c. pretty early way if you throw out that compromise and disregard the balance of force you. all sorts of dangers that flow from the in negligible escalation already with the consequence is that this on the oil market and in this

nine hundred fifty three iranians have good reason for not trusting the united states united states the cia overthrew the mossad that government in one thousand nine hundred fifty three in iran you talk about russian interference in the american election or the cia consciously deliberately proposed simply overthrew a very popular government in iran because the iranian government was nationalizing british oil interests so how would we feel if iran had come in and overthrown the kennedy government in one thousand nine hundred sixty two and this is the who they were context we have to understand this and so yes and this these sanctions are hurting the iranian people definitely an iranian economy is suffering as a result what is going to be the outcome of this as china going to go along with with us demand is india going to go along with u.s. demand turkey turkey perhaps south korea and japan will but the other countries are not and the europeans were already looking for mechanisms to deal with oil and trade with iran outside of the us economics we are so i think the united states is is

unions in the united states. we all have to get together. we all have to get better if we are going to solve these big albums. we all -- the problems. it is going to take all of us -- white, black, brown, a, straight, north, south. americans in this great experience of democracy. each generation is the duty to grab the mental and -- mantle and do something great with it. there is an old saying that politicians and president don't -- they hold power. they hold the power that the people of the united states give them. power forhold that four years, and i want to bring the experiences that i have had in this community from the schools that i went to to the coaches that i had to the teachers i had to the family i had. person whoybe, the can help you these wounds is a working-class kid from a working-class family, from a working-class community that will go work his rear end off for the american people.

states for having published truthful information about the united states this is what god gave the journalist in our studios jennifer said he said to the president we don't want to this to go forward this has just has to be there to the u.k. government needs to make absolutely sure that a journalist will never be extradited to my distaste for publishing activities the ecuadorian austerities hides and allowing the metropolitan police to go inside the embassy where apparently julian astonished tried to resist arrest and then he was physically bundled up and put in to a police baton and taken into police custody now very soon afterwards we learned that julian assange just political asylum and to citizenship had been revoked by the ecuadorian authorities. listen to what lenin the president of ecuador had to say about it till. i announced that the discourteous and aggressive behavior of mr julian i saw much of the hostile and threatening declarations of his annoyed organization. on especially the transgression of international treaties have led the situation to a point where the asylum of mr assad

decency does prevail in much of the united states. that's all i can say at this point. >> maybe perhaps we can conclude with some optimistic outlook if not then your prescriptions of what could be some of these pressure points. >> [ indiscernible - low volume ] we have two recalibrate we need to recalibrate and deal with issues in a way that is civil. we have to respect our opponents in this country. this is one thing i find a little understandable but a little difficult at the same time. the people in the government who are pushing this harder policy towards china can be demonized by a lot of my colleagues. we china specialists don't like is that all in most cases and yet i look at their point of view and i respect where they are coming from. i think we need that kind of attitude but i am afraid we are not there. i'm afraid we don't have it right now and our leader is just awful in this in decency. i want decency. obama was so decent and so anyway. i will stop there but i think this is -- i'm struggling with this issue. i have a big

the first of these was the benign germany of the united states. america was the big kid on the block and even those countries that were particularly happy about this didn't dare challenge us in a serious way. the second major piece for many feature was economic interdependence. this was after all one of the great ages of globalization. we know that countries that trade with and invest in one another on a large scale are very reluctant to go to war for no other reason than war cost them a lot of money. the third peace promoting features of international politics between 1989 in 2014 was democracy. this was a great age of democracy and the first time in human history when democracy was the most prominent form of government around the world. by democracy i mean two things, democracy is i believe a hybrid form of government. it involves sovereignty, free, fair and regular elections. but it also necessarily involves liberty. and liberty comes in three varieties. economic liberty, private property, religious liberty, freedom of worship, and political li

the state of democracy in terms of the institutions and united states. let's talk about some of the other places. the united states' greatest allies or democratic allies in europe in particular, long-standing ties of history and tradition. how is europe doing in terms of democracy? niall: fine. [laughter] fine. i would say as per usual. as per usual british politics is a kind of jacobian tragedy. everybody is stabbing everybody else in the back. unless you know 17th-century constitutional history, you don't know what is going on. at some point, the queen will step in. i feel sure. rice: that will be democratic. niall: that is how british politics work. the french have their own style. they imagine themselves to be louis the 14th. lots of people run in the streets of paris to say you are louis the 16th. just because they are wearing yellow vests shouldn't deceive you. it is the same old way. ms. rice: what's the modern version of the guillotine? niall: this is what mr. macron has been pondering of late. compared with european politics, at the time that in

will not extradite julian assange to the united states is very unlikely the united states has confirmed that it's requested the extradition of julian assange he's accused of conspiring to hack a government computer whistleblower chelsea manning the justice department says he could face up to five years in prison. and report. interestingly we have heard from the u.s. president u.s. president donald trump has been asked about the arrest of julian assange and wiki leaks and he gave an interesting answer and that answer is a little bit different than the answer he gave on the campaign trail let's take a listen i know nothing about wiki leaks it's not my thing and i know there is something having to do with julie who saw as i have been seeing would accept and was so on edge and that will be a determination i would imagine mostly by the attorney general who's doing an excellent job so he'll be making a determination i know nothing really about him it's not my son my deal in life wiki leaks were key leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks it's been amazing what's coming out on wiki leaks leaks the wiki le

is not supporting democracy the united states is opposed to democracy that's why the united states has helped saudi arabia starve the people of yemen let me let us bring in the regional perspective now on our regional reasonal perspective let's bring in dan wearing from beijing what's china's reactions will this. well so far the public media has been quite calm there's not a widespread widespread opposition to the u.s. decision because overall when we think about oil trader with iran iran has been quite important to china it's one of the top five oil suppliers to china in terms of countries but it's not essential so it's all export to china account for about seven percent of china's total oil import it's a very difficult to replace but not impossible but in terms of the overall of the broader economic ties i think iran actually take a very important position in china's global strategy because to start with iran is one of the major destinations for chinese products such as consumer goods tronics machinery and especially cars so iran has been a top car importer from china if you go to a

states the european union backs the united states to the hilt on venezuela and says that right this other man mr goto should be leading that country not the elected leader yeah i don't know it's definitely the western powers the the oil companies you know that you know the u.k. turned on venezuela when they wouldn't give in their oil rights to their oil fields and so they were even given their gold yeah i mean i look at it from a perspective of the united states i criticize my government first because that's the government i can have the most influence on but you're correct yes it's also the european union there are corrupt i mean it's amazing what's happening right now and it's happening right out in the open like it always does you know tony blair is not in prison he should be in prison george bush isn't in prison he should be in prison but they're trying to get donald trump for nothing but it's so nice larry to say as a respected statesman like regularly interviewed here on mainstream media but no. that is true terry i have to say that he i greatly on replying they told me blair

states that is the point is that vengeance international left in the democratic party united states that went to war for saddam and against george bush when he went into iraq we should have settled there we should not have you know we should have occupied them for something that they have in this is a i'm having a crank radio is i should have this is not going to syria and that we should have stuck into iran but bush came under as such at hand. from the from the democrat there's never been such as seditious movement by a major american party they all supported the war not all of them but the leadership supported them or they voted in their majority in the senate but the or and then they turned against it and they lied saying that bush lied bush couldn't have lied about the intelligence because kerry and rockefeller and feinstein and all the democrats sat on the intelligence committees they had their intelligence then julian in in the work that we do the work that wiki leaks does we are. pushing forward to the boundaries of a certain type of liberty that is we say protected by the fi

the united states is interested in transforming relations with the -- the united states is wanting to advance a peace regime with north korea. north korea. they're all linked. they're all proceeding in parallel. the united states has discussed many initiatives in each of these areas with the north koreans. but as is so often the case that nothing can be agreed until everything's agreed. that's a clear principle that has permeated our negotiations on both sides with the north koreans. that's not to say that we can't take steps to build confidence between the two countries. but the foundation of this policy is denuclearization, and until we can get to some point where we have the same traction on that issue that we have on the other issues, it makes it very difficult for us to move forward. you've heard the president himself talk about many of the issues that would build confidence and most recently the summit. he had an esh change in front of the press on this very point. these are issues we have explored in detail with our north koreans, in parallel with denuclearization. but we're no

to the united states is indicative of friendship between the united states and saudi arabia but where do the american people stand they want to. u.s. alliance with saudi arabia it's terrible i'm against that for the u.s. to have a stands in financial support for such conflicts kind of says something that i'm not sure they really want to betray the message there's a lot of civilians that are paying the price for games that politicians tend to play i was a saloon flues with the saudis so i will be surprise about it just group just how the saudi works the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia boils down to billions of dollars in oil imports and weapons sales it's long been fundamental to u.s. foreign policy when it comes to the middle east region however now in the era of trump it seems pretty clear that certain voices are getting pretty sick of it caleb mopp and r.t. new york well international charity the norwegian refugee council says donald trump's veto will only mean more suffering more death. the united states has an obligation as one of the leading the nations and being a main suppo

last elections but the united states played along so rather the united states doesn't play along to united. with any of trampling on democratic values unless. that is compelling long long as it is in keeping with its own interests and again the history of latin america provides ample examples some of which we discussed but let me ask you a policy a broader policy question because power transitions are always very precarious especially in a country is asked polarized as venezuela facing as enormous economic differences difficulties as. do you have confidence that the trump administration has what it takes to guide us through these power transitions that the two previous american administrations bush administration and the obama administration failed so miserably because the united states tended to bring democracy to iraq and to bring democracy to libya that failed. but ministration half what it takes to guide venezuela through the democratic transition without major bloodshed though without major shocks to its economy by itself no the united states is not the protector of venezuela the unit

the biggest exporter of cars from the united states are german car manufacturers within the united states and this is what i wanted to view at. if you are one of those who have this national list propaganda, if you are one of those who have this nationalist propaganda, thinking that we are living in times which are 100 years ago, this will not work. if you look at the supply chain of all the different things we have in our countries, we buy the cars, the goods and all the other things, you will find out that they are produced at several places all over the world. and this is the mistake of all those people doing this propaganda that they believe, that you can just stick to your own country in a world that has already changed. it sounds like, if i may say so, it sounds like you are prepared to play hard ball. you are advising mrjunker and the eu to play hardball in trade negotiations with the united states. we yesterday said that there would be talks between the eu and the united states and that there will be a mandate and i am always supporting the idea of talking and getting agreements.

and the united states knows we cannot do it alone. to that end are actively working to promote securities self-reliance and second it poses the greatest threat to the region security to be in yemen syria and beyond with terrorist groups like hezbollah. to be committed working with our allies and partners throughout the world and third it is clear over the last eight years it cannot be resolved by military force. united states will continue to support those efforts throughout the region and will remain the largest single donor of humanitarian assistance to focus on protecting the rights of the most vulnerable ever to protect religious freedom in doing so i will touch on some examples for the q&a session. first hour approach rests on coalition building those threats that emerge from the region and to remain engaged to address these concerns and cannot lead alone. and then to demonstrate more responsibility of security the approach to coalition building is our regional partners have a capacity to have regional problems as the president s

plains near universal jurisdiction over the citizens of every country the united states will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court the i.c.c. opened a preliminary investigation into the issue in two thousand and six this looked at allegations that more than ten thousand civilians were killed in atrocities as well as claims of torture and rape in two thousand and seventeen the i.c.c. prosecutor also judges to take things further think they were reasonable grounds to suspect the us military was implicated human rights watch says the court's decision to reject the proper investigation facts about president. the i.c.c. judges rejection of an afghanistan investigation is a devastating blow for victims who have suffered grievous crimes without treacherous the judge just logic effectively in those member countries to opt out of copulating with the quote until activists check in says the i.c.c. has no power against the us. i don't think that an entity like an i.c.c. would be able to. bring those charges to t

the survey in the united states was conducted by public affairs. this is an international, survey research firm. they use an address based, nationwide, online panel that is representative of the population of the united states. it was conducted february 22-25 across the country. the chicago council has been conducting the survey since 1974. we have 40 years of experience doing these surveys. one key thing we look at is changes over time. they have been conducting research for decades. you can tell them about the methodology. >> hello, thank you for coming. >> this is conducted face-to- face. it is 1600 people in 18 spots. this is the method of the survey. we use this project as an opportunity, [ indiscernible - low volume ] this is a good way to look at the subject from different points of view. we tried to do this from both sides. each other. public opinion is often affected by the media and the media has a lot of focus on the relationships in dc this on both sides of the public opinion. we are talking about some key highlights and we are going to

more than on two servers depending on the united states financially so the united states carry the most important financial burden of keeping nato alive and functioning so i think that there are some discords between the european capitals and washington i think they are mostly personal i mean european leaders tended to be irritated by mr trump extremely. appalling style i would say they disliked mr pence speech at the last munich conference where mr benz said what the europeans should do on different directions of their foreign policy i think that this style is long into the past and europeans they let it know that they don't like the style of the trumpet ministration but it doesn't mean they don't like nato i think they consider. nato a necessary instrument of their security and american presence in nato a necessary element of their security so i think that although there are some differences today mostly on the style of politics between european capitals in washington i don't think it will spoil the seventy's and ever syria of nato i think that mostly it's an alliance which understand

the united states. but this came to be because of a connection with vince foster junior. the last person who we know saw him alive in the white house was linda tripp. she calls our office januar january 1988. not so fast. she says a young woman, monica lewinsky, working alongside me p here at the pentagon at the public affairs office has made me aware there is a relationship with the president but most relevantly she is asking me to commit perjury because she is committed perjury herself and at the end of that phone call on sunday night i was away at an american bar association meeting in colorado. she said you know, me. i am linda tripp the witness in the vince c foster investigation. so we took steps. 's were criticized which goes with the territory but we verified what linda had told u us, the surreptitious to live on - - telephone recordings we were reviewing those and the fbi was looking at well. but we had the famous episode at the ritz carlo monash carlton which was criticized but then vindicated

would make you the youngest president of the united states and the firstma president of the united states. thank you for volunteering in e service of our national defense. >> it's my honor. thank you. >> you were serving in the hawaii state legislature when you cided to join the national guard in hawaii. what made you decide to serve? >> like so many people in the countr 9/11 had a huge impact on me and on my life. seeing that terrorist attack made me want to step >> to serve even more than you were. >> yeah. >> how old were you during 9/11? >> gosh, i guess i was just about 21. >> and you joined the national guard. >> i did. i wanted to find a way that i could play my part in going after the terrorists launched that attack against usi while also able to continue to serve the residents of hawaii. >> andhen you volunteered to go to iraq a year later. >> yeah. >> tell us about your experience in iraq. >> like so many people in this country, we heard what theha president,leaders in the u.s. senate, what the secretary of state -- the things that they were saying about saddam hussein, weapons

states, i cannot be more emphatic, the united states has chosen to take this course, the president has created this space in the momentum for diplomacy, the missing variable is north korea , it's all also has to fully commit. to this illumination of its weapons of mass destruction, and affiliated programs, and if they do that, we will get to this and point quickly. >> i spent a lot of time at the pentagon trying to get them to not talk in acronyms, and ms. alexander bell sounds like she sounds to -- that building. >> [ laughter ] >> listen to this, are we demanding that the prk sign and ratify the bwc cwc, and cbd be, i assume you're talking about biological weapons, conventional chemical weapons, i can never figure out all these >> combines a test of see >> think you. further, given that cwc lacks the verification program, what tools and techniques are we planning to use to ensure that biological weapons program is illuminated to mark >> rate question. acronyms and all. all three of these, are part of the un security council resolutions, so it is not the united states that would be as

the president of the united states will do his thing and we need to deal with it and to be like let's say a one sided way of talking to you and about other people of course we tone but we need to deal with because we have interests we have sixty thousand people in the united states twenty four billion revenues so we have interests which we hope is the need to look into when we have cost of ours who want to buy from us and also from somebody else just because you know the government would like to do buy from somebody so there is always a balance to strike. and that's it for me and the business team here and thank you so much for watching. carefully. observed. today to. discuss. the some. documentary. there's news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes they are bringing investment about and still can resentments the growing numbers of chinese in zambia look at the influence on business and politics also coming up i'm a believer that. my country and what a lot of people in america are going to look to the government simply to make my world to my country. the young gandhi in medio i

states in the united states of donald trump all right gentlemen i'm going to jump in here we're going to go away short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on journalism today state with our team. after the previous the age of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next about different clubs on one hand it is logical to assume the form fields. everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people and i saw one on t.v. . i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can think i was going to go. by the way what is that that's like here. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. you know world a big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it

states, from our standpoint, the standpoint of the united states. and a lot more money will be invested. but we've been picking up a tremendous and disproportionate share and we just want fairness. i have to have fairness for our taxpayers too. i think that's what's happening and i very much appreciate it. thank you very much. thank you all very much. reporter: is it your intention, sir, to close the border this week? and what would it take to not close the border? president trump: i haven't made that intention known. i'm ready to close it if i have to close it. mexico, as you know, as of yesterday, has been starting to apprehend a lot of people at their southern border, coming in from honduras and guatemala and el salvador and they're really apprehending thousands of people. and it's the first time really in decades that this has taken place and it should have taken place a long time ago. mexico has the strongest immigration laws in the world. there's nobody stronger. i guess some have the same. but you can't get any stronger than what mexico has.

in the united states. japanese]peaking translator: since president trump took office, japanese business communities have additionally announced a total of 23 billion u.s. dollars united states,he which will great 43,000 jobs in the united states. japan is ranked number one for its investment in the united states, as well as a number of jobs it creates in the united states.
