Are US Sanctions Realigning Global Alliances? | Inside Story

Earlier this week the United States re-imposed a wide range of sanctions on Iran following the Trump administration's decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear agreement. Washington called on other powers to join it but also issued a threat, telling governments to choose: do business with US or Iran, not both.

The response has been a nearly universal "no". Some of Washington's closest allies have even promised legislation to protect their own companies against possible American reprisals.

We have been here before. In 1996 the Helms-Burton Act sought to force the rest of the world to adhere to Washington's long-standing boycott of Cuba. A 1977 law penalised US companies honouring the Arab boycott of Israel; and as recently as 2014, shortly before the nuclear deal was completed, France's largest bank, BNP Paribas, agreed to pay the US Justice Department an eight-point-nine billion dollar fine for violating US sanctions related to Iran.

Can extra-territorial sanctions really work? If they don't - as seems likely - what will that mean for America's broader role in the world?

Die Auswanderer: Deutsche in der Schweiz - Dokumentation von NZZ Format | 2009

Autos mit deutschen Kennzeichen werden abgedrängt und weggeblinkt, und wenn die deutsche Fussballmannschaft verliert, jubeln die Schweizer. Die deutschen Zuwanderer sind fleissig und gut ausgebildet, sie sind die Stützen des Schweizer Gesundheitssystems und trotzdem mag man sie nicht besonders. Mit der Zeit verstehen die Deutschen schweizerdeutsch, wenn sie es aber zu sprechen versuchen, ist es auch wieder nicht recht. Sie treten in tausend Fettnäpfchen, weil die Schweiz wider Erwarten ganz anders ist als Deutschland. Viele bleiben trotzdem hier, wegen der guten Arbeitsbedingungen und der hohen Lebensqualität, und in der zweiten Generation sind sie von Schweizern kaum mehr zu unterscheiden.

Was macht eigentlich das Verhältnis zwischen Deutschen und Schweizern so schwierig? Deutsche Zuwanderer reden über ihre Integration in der Schweiz.

Meet the Rising Socialists Challenging the Trump Presidency

In the United States, left-wing Democrats backed by former Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders have suffered a setback overnight, after voters in the mid-term primary races favoured traditional candidates over their more liberal challengers.

The Democratic establishment says sticking to the centre is the best way to win over Trump supporters. But, as Kiran Moodley reports, others continue to call for a radical agenda, arguing that 'democratic socialism' is the best way to take down the President in 2020.

One MP said if Mr Johnson ever became Tory leader - he'd quit the party himself in protest. Critics are accusing Mr Johnson of using the issue to further his own leadership ambitions - and trying to mine a Donald Trump style of political populism.

Why Is Saudi Arabia Angry at Canada? | Inside Story

Saudi Arabia considers Canada's comments on human rights in the Kingdom as an interference in its affairs that require what it calls a "sharp response". So it has expelled the Canadian ambassador and recalled its envoy from Ottawa. Its state-owned airline has suspended direct flights to Toronto; and the government says it will end trade and investment ties.

It all began with a tweet from Canada's Foreign Affairs ministry, stating concerns over Saudi Arabia's arrest of rights activists and demanding their immediate release. One of those activists mentioned in that tweet is Samar Badawi, a relative of Canadian citizens.

Badawi and fellow activist Nassima al-Sadah were arrested last month. Badawi is the recipient of the 2012 International Women of Courage Award, who is known for challenging Saudi Arabia's male guardianship system.

But is international criticism enough to improve human rights in the Kingdom?
