>> at least 28 people killed in turkey near the border with syria. 100 others are injured. there will. we have the world news from al jazeera. also coming up, the u.n. security council speak about the deal with iran. we will and restarting the cuban -u.s. friendship after half a century. flags will be raised.

we'll be live in washington and havana. at least 28 people have been killed in a large explosion in turkey. around 100 have been wounded. it happened north of the border in syria. it's not yet known what caused the blast but the turkish ministry said that it's a kurdish attack. it's area is home to a refugee camp of 35,000 refugees freeing war. and there has been a clash on the syrian said of the border. that happened moments after the explosion in turkey. a kurdish official said that it's not an isil attack. now in the last hour the u.n. security council has

unanimously endorsed the iran nuclear deal. the members of the council along with germany have agreed to lift economic sanctions against iran. in exchange tehran has vowed to curb it's nuclear program. james bays is at the u.n. headquarters in new york, and james, we've been hearing a bit more about how this deal is going to work, but the wording of this resolution, one of the many sticking points debated long into the night in vienna. >> yes, one week ago i was in vienna. that was in the last day of negotiations before they came up with the deal. and this deal, which includes lots and lots of different elements to it. the bit causing controversy in the end was this very resolution and the exact wording that an hour ago was voted into binding international law by members of the security council. there are controversial bits

about this that i'm sure we're going to hear other nations talk about, and i'm sure we're going to hear reaction from those in washington particularly on capitol hill who will respond to this vote. particularly the details of iran's arms embargo and ballistic missiles because originally the u.s. said the sanctions relating to those were not going to be lifted at all and clearly they now are under this deal that has been endorsed today by the security council moments after the vote the u.s. ambassador is samantha power gave her reaction. >> this nuclear deal does not change our profound concern about human rights violations committed by the iranian government, or about the instability iran fuels beyond it's nuclear program. from its support for terrorist proxies to repeated threats against israel to other destabilizing activities in the region. that's why the united states will continue to invest in the security of our allies in the

region, and why we'll maintain our own sanctions related to iran's support for terrorism it's ballistic the program and human rights violations. >> if iran violates it's part of the deal, then sanctions will be reimposed. how will that work? >> this is an unusual mechanism. it is an unusual resolution. normally these are discussed in new york and then adapted. of course, this was done in vienna as part of those nuclear negotiations. there is a process called snap back, which means that yes the six previous resolutions against iran are all being wiped off the slate. but memory of them will remain. if one member of the team that negotiated with iran the p. 5 plus 1 that negotiated with iran thinks iran is not complying they can make a complaint to a body known as the joint

commission. then within 30 days the u.n. security council must meet. the complaint will mean that sanction also come into force unless the u.n. security council all agree that that's not the case and the complaint is not valid. >> james, thank you for that. james bays our diplomatic editor. let's go to west jerusalem because it is fair to say that not everyone is happy with this deal and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is very critical about this deal. he calls it a historic mistake. >> indeed, prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been the most vocal and biggest critic of this deal with iran. but the fact of the matter we now have this unanimous decision by the u.n. security council supporting this deal.

it's becoming increasingly difficult for mr. netanyahu to really do anything to change the outcome of this agreement. this historic agreement.

>> sorry, we're breaking out of that report to bring you the iranian. ambassador speaking to the council. >> marks the shape in iran's peaceful nuclear program. the result of extensive and collective for close to two years to keep diplomacy a chance and end the result to pressure.

it is a fundamentally different approach helped all us butt an end to an unnecessary crisis and accomplish major achievement for all the parties involved in the whole international community. the resolution adapted provided also for the determination of the security council resolution that unjustifybly placed sanctions on iran for its efforts to exercise it's rights. nobody has ever presented any proof indicating that iran's program has been anything but peaceful. they have consistently reported that iran has dutifully astute

in every accomplishment. only the japan has bigger scrutiny than iran. iran surpassed japan in the number of inspections. therefore, the government in the security council was not caused by a suspicious nuclear program but driven by the stated object objective in to compel iran to suspend its lawful enrichment program. that demand was not only unnecessary and uncalled for but, in fact, counter to the unanimous conclusions of the the 2000 and 2010 conferences which stipulate that the choices of member states with regard to

their activities must be respected. it also neglected the repeated demands of the majority of the international community respected. the sanction imposed in iran in ser 1750, 7 through 29, there are punishments for the refusal of the iranian people to accept that demand. in engaging with the iranian people who have had the foresight to move forward without losing sight of the past. therefore while we hope that the security council will open a new chapter with iran, we cannot accept or forget its previous treatment of iran starting from action in the fails of aggression, and the use of chemical weapons to its more recent treatment of the iranian

peaceful nuclear program. the solution that we arrive at is in the interest of strengthening the regime of nuclear non-proliferation in its entirety. as it includes and recognizes the right of iran to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes including uranium enrichment activities and the recent obligations of the states parties as under any international regime can only go hand in hand. obligations with honor and these regimes including the takenned only if rights could be achievable. not threats of sanction or war could help sustain in the long run if it fails to honor all of

it's, including the right of nuclear energy. looking up to the future. the resolution 2231 with all the new chapter with iran in the council and the participants. iran is also iran is in position to comply fully with its commitment because it is already committed to its supreme leader who has declared all weapons of mass destruction particularly nuclear weapons the.

it is encouraging all member states to cooperate with iran in the framework and the field of peaceful nuclear energy and related projects as well as it's emphasis that it is conducive to promoting and facilitateing the normal economy and strayed contacts and corporation with iran are all positive signs and all encouraging. mr. president while this still focus on the nuclear issue iran expects it to have a wider positive implication for our region and the whole international community including the the following: first, the deal was sealed on a basis

of mutual respect and understanding even important of achievement for diplomacy and could produce nothing with regard to iran in the past 37 years. it reinforces faith in diplomacy as the most rational way to resolve differences in our inter connected war and those shah diplomacy can prevail over war and tension. it is therefore a clear message to those who still believe that they can achieve everything. second the it has the potential to help in a major development in this region for more cooperation with the issue at hand. we earnestly hope that it helps to turn the page in our region, enabling countries to close the ranks and fight against violent extremism and to move towards

more cooperation to the region and and the world face. there is a high stake in defeating violent extremism and sectarianism, the participants are also facing similar challenges in the security of this phenomenon. in the nuclear issue we're now we're free to focus on real issues. third, in the make up of this major development in the region, we are called to our neighbors and friends in the persian gulf, and the wider version that iran is ready to be involved in

brotherhood. we have many common challenges in our region to address and many common opportunities to benefit from. this is the time to start working together against our most common and important challenges which include above all violent extremism. fourth following the policy attention in the region have done whatever it's in its power to stand over iran's nuclear energy program. in so doing it proves once more that it does not see peace in our region in its interest and considers peace as an existential of itself. theywewe warn our friends and

neighbors not to fall into a trap. in this context it is not surprising that it is the only obstacle in the way of establishing nuclear weapons in the middle east, that my country initiated more than 40 years ago, and has never sense and ever since promoted. it believed that nuclear war heads stock piled by the regime constitute a great threat to peace and security in our unstable region. and the security council should live up to its primary responsibility under the u.n. charter and take necessary action to neutralize this. mr. president. let me recall that iran as a nation has lived through many

storms while maintaining steadfast in its identity. this has not been acquired through oppressing others. the steadfastness of our delegation showed during the negotiation stem from the fact that the only accept commitments that we can abide by. as iran is resolute in fulfilling its obligations we expect in a our counterparts will also face theirs. in commitment, adopting the right approach can diplomacy prevail over conflict and war in a war that is complete with violence suffering and oppression. in this context there is a solid foundation for further and

effective diplomacy interaction. before i conclude, let me thank those ambassadors who supported and also those countries who helped this deal happen. and also let me briefly react to some previous speakers. the distinguished ambassador of the united states accused my government of destabilizing the region with terrorism. the country that two countries in our region and created favorable ground for terrorism and extremism is not well placed to raise such accusation against my country. reckless acts of the united states in our region for so many

years are at the root of many challenges that we are now facing in our neighborhood. iran is a stable country in an unstable region. as we want our stability to persist, we do promote the stability in the region and we help our neighborhood to stabilize and cooperate towards dissent. in conclusion, mr. president let me also inform you that my delegation upon instruction from my government is forwarding the statement of the islamic following the action taken today by the security council to be circulated as a document of the security council. thank you mr. president. >> that was the iranian ambassador to the u.n. speaking about the joint comprehensive

plan of action, that's the iran deal saying that no one has proved that iran's nuclear program is anything other than peaceful, and the sanctions imposeed upon iran from were punishment for its peaceful nuclear program, but the solution we've arrived at is in the interest of strengthening nuclear non-proliferation. and let's get to our diplomatic editor james bays. iran is saying that this deal is going to be a benefit to the region but there are many, aren't there who feel that iran got too many concessions in the negotiations. israel until particular is worried about that. >> israel certainly worried about that. israel does not get to speak in the meeting, it was not invited as one of the speakers, you have the u.n. ambassador speaking right now. the israeli ambassador does

intend to come and speak to reporters outside of the security council. he wants to make sure that in the reporting of this event israel's view is there along with all the other views of all the other nations. because you heard around the security council table everyone welcoming this idea. you heard the iranians welcoming this idea. the israelis don't welcome it, and the other place that there is real concern about this is on capitol hill in washington, d.c. because the congressional review of all of this, 60 days is only just got under way and now the security council has come in and effectively before cropping has given its view has made all of this binding international law and the actual timing of this is something that i think in the final round of negotiations in vienna was one of the concessions made by the six countries negotiating with iran. i can tell you that when i was briefed by diplomats before the round started in vienna we were told consistently that there was

going to be a 60-day review by congress, and then the u.n. security council would step in and ratify. well, the security council now has spoken even though congress has not even made up its mind and hardly started looking at this deal. >> okay, james thanks for that. james bays in new york there. >> you've been watching live coverage from our colleagues in doha. we want to interrupt coverage to take you to a live event in washington, d.c. the cuban flag about to be raised to officially mark the opening of a cuban embassy in washington, d.c. these are live pictures outside. it is the first time in more than five decades that the cuban cubaning from will be flying in the capital. libby casey is outside of the cuban embassy in washington. libby, good morning. tell us what to expect at the

ceremony. >> stephanie, in just a few minutes they will raise the flag over the embassy and the embassy did become official at 12:01 this morning. this is certainly a significant moment. hundreds of people are on hand to witness it. afterwards we'll go inside and we'll address 500 people. they include dignitaries and leaders from the caribbean generally and also cuban culture leaders. and then later meeting with the secretary of state john kerry for what is described as a no holds barred diplomatic meeting. >> they have called it a substantive meeting between kerry and rodriguez. libby, go into more detail about the status change from the cuban intersection to bam the embassy.

>> this creates full diplomatic ties and gives them a full availability to be part of the diplomatic core. now cubans who work here can only travel 25 miles distance from the nation's capital. they also have been unable to open a bank account locally. that changed in may when the president took cuba off the list of terrorist countries. they have served as a protecting power. that has formally ended and now cuba and the united states will be able to communicate directly and it's similar symbolic. >> the same thing is happening in havana.
