well most of the arts belonging to the world's top museums often remains in storage hidden from public view but one museum in new york is trying to change that christensen amy has more. when it comes to the brooklyn museums collection of american art there's much more than meets the eye those taking in this exhibit called soul of a nation can take a deeper dive into an artist or genre by exploring what's not on display in the museum in what's called the visible storage center collection has a lot of other examples and this is an example of a work by an artist affiliated in the black arts movement that wasn't in the exhibition but is certainly in our collection museum goers are often shocked to learn that most major institutions display less than ten percent of their collection here visitors can search the museum's database for hidden gems i never realized this is what they had that they couldn't show to the public as this is a good way to see things you probably wouldn't see any of the time light

temperature and humidity are regulated to preserve the art. the brooklyn museum has about three hundred fifty items on display in its main galleries related to american art but its overall collection is much more vast like most museums visible storage gives the public access to another twenty seven hundred works of art critics of large art museums say visible storage doesn't go far enough and argue that items in storage should be sold to smaller regional museums the proceeds could then be used to subsidize free admission exposing art to a wider audience we could parcel out some of those material out of the basements of the big especially the big east coast and central museums to places that don't have it all of that or it would be creating a lot more public value which is what i think it's for but visible storage is a resource for scholars one that more and more museums are considering according to collections manager walter anderson's we're basically the friends of the public by

making sure that the things that need care get it but we're also presenting this volume of work in an exciting way so that people who want to learn more can certainly learn more allowing art institutions to both maintain their collections and with visible storage provide more of the public a glimpse of great works of art christian salumi al-jazeera brooklyn new york and now it's time for sports. thank you very much mentions the city are back at the top of the english premier league table with three games to go they beat out rivals manchester united with two late goals up the whole time both sides were still goalless some so but not a silva came on the school facility. securing their second goal city you know three games away from securing the league title for the second season in a row. barcelona's league of celebrations will have to wait a while longer yet on wednesday the nearest challenges that lead to go madrid defeated valencia three two. one griezmann help scoring to

achieve the aspirations of the sudanese people and to build a prosperous future we are agreed on a number of main principles that is first and last we are partners and we will work together on disagreement we have to reach a common goal. both sides have also agreed to set up a committee to iron out disagreements after talks broke down earlier in the week. we answered the call for a meeting following the positive statement issued by the military council regarding our demands the meeting was pleasant and in the nation's best interest we expressed our gratitude for how the military protected civilians and we agreed on forming a committee to discuss various issues on forming a transitional phase and roles of all groups involved but this still no word on whether and how soon the military will hand over power to civilians and that's been the key demand of protesters who are planning a million strong march on thursday and have warned of

going to do what they said regarding the former the former regime or the our supporter or the former year we hope that it is going to lead to a solid democratic system that is. accepted by the sudanese people so you will know what haitian even though millions on the streets or in the city right by the orders of the military or whom and all of them may wait and accept the waiting if it is going to lead us to a much better future sri lanka's president has asked for the resignations of the defense secretary and the police chief following sunday's suicide bomb attacks might your palace or a center says critical intelligence before the attacks was kept from him the death toll is now at three hundred and fifty nine but hundreds more wounded and people in the capital colombo remain on edge as police continue to carry out controlled detonations on suspicious items here's an elf amanda's with more security camera

government apology enough for both the victims' families and survivors. as. colombo. well iran says it will continue to sell its oil and has warned of the united states of consequences if it tries to stop it but as it says it won't disrupt the world's main oil shipping route the strait of hormuz president hassan rouhani says he's open to resuming talks but only if the u.s. apologizes first saying that's ravi has more from tehran. the u.s. ramped up its pressure on iran earlier this week ending sanctions waivers that have for a few months allowed iran to sell oil to just eight countries all signs point to more u.s. sanctions targeting iran's oil dependent economy i do weekly cabinet meeting president hassan rouhani said iran remains open to dialogue but demanded an apology and a halt to pressure tactics conditions the united states is almost certainly unwilling to meet he also had this warning for the iranian people. not only do you

not i must look at another america's not ready for talks at all what they're doing is meant to break the nation of iran america wants to answer to run again americans didn't learn their lesson from the top us incident. that was the failed mission thirty nine years ago to rescue american hostages from the u.s. embassy takeover into. a sandstorm led to a helicopter and a war plane colliding killing eight u.s. servicemen this hunk of metal is all that's left of the road an ism of one of the helicopters that was meant to fly from the desert in the east of the country directly into the heart of the iranian capital and fly american hostages out on display at the old u.s. embassy now a museum it's become a part of iran's public relations campaign against the united states. it was the only mission of its kind that saw american boots on iranian soil and rouhani is warning on the anniversary of the incident of the possibility of more american

adventurism is not without its reasons the continued policy aimed at reducing iran's oil sales to zero is a major economic and national security concern here and. some iranians compare america's anti iran messaging to the rhetoric that preceded the invasion of iraq in two thousand and three the sanctions regime is also reminiscent of iraq after the first gulf war in one nine hundred ninety one but supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei made it clear iranian oil will continue to flow despite american intimidation. little buddy can ya middle buddy can. we will explored as much as we need and want the enemy must know that this hostility won't remain without a response the mission of iran won't remain silent against us hostility. the consensus in iran seems to be that war with america is unlikely as the cost would be too high that there has been talking to one of disrupting the strait of hormuz which would wreak havoc on oil markets but for now it may just be saber rattling

what i'm saying is it is in our interests and not it's our national security interest to keep the persian gulf open to keep the strait of almost open but as long as sanctions continue to heighten tensions what happens next remains unpredictable zain. to her on on our diplomatic as a james bay is has more from new york by iran's foreign minister zarif speaking. well he says that iran has done absolutely nothing wrong iran entered into what he describes a treaty formally it wasn't actually a treaty with the international community including the united states and it's the u.s. that has ripped up that deal it's the u.s. that now is removing those waivers for eight countries to still trade with iran on oil and he made the point that the iran nuclear deal is not just a deal itself it was in shrine and in a u.n. security council resolution so by ending international law and he said for the

first time in his view in history a permanent member of the u.n. security council was not only going against a u.n. security council resolution it was pushing others to go against a u.n. security council resolution he did say that he believed that in his view that president trump did want to come to some sort of new deal but he said there wouldn't be a new deal because iran really had given everything with the existing deal that was the best they were going to get and he was not prepared for iran to give up on its dignity he said although he believed that president trump didn't want war he thought there were those around him including his national security adviser john bolton and other influences the israeli prime minister the king of saudi arabia the ruler of the usa who actually wanted regime change in iran possibly even to destroy
