a potential threat iran would be making a very big mistake if they did it if they do something it will be met with great force but we have no indication that they will. but his administration just weeks earlier had said it had intelligence that he ran could attack u.s. forces or its allies sending in an aircraft carrier to the gulf earlier than planned along with bombers and missiles even evacuating some of its diplomatic personnel from iraq perhaps in response iran announced monday it's quadrupled its production of enriched uranium still at a much lower level that could be used for a weapon the capacity of the country's enriched productive through some technical modifications has been increased by nearly 4 times without i've been any new chains or centrifuges the design information related to this has been submitted to the international atomic energy agency and still some analysts say there are signs of a potential diplomatic breakthrough and there is an urgency for diplomacy and maybe

the signs in terms of the omani foreign minister traveling today to iran and discussing some regional issues and oman has played a kind of a mediating role between the u.s. and iran in the past so maybe this is a good sign the u.s. president has sent mixed messages on iran but this is a man who prides himself on making deals and so far he's been able to find one in his foreign policy now saying he's ready to talk if you runs leaders only ask patty calling al-jazeera washington but taking a closer look at what that announcement by iran's atomic energy organization to increase production of low enriched uranium in iran will now quadruple its output of the material that's currently at 3.67 percent under the 2015 nuclear deal that means within weeks it will exceed a cap of 300 kilo. that it's allowed to produce unless the european partners in the

deal respond this increase will effectively render the nuclear agreement now and void and iran is urging the united nations secretary-general to arrange talks to ease the tensions in the gulf is all diplomatic editor james bays at u.n. headquarters. the letter which is being sent to the current president of the un security council indonesia and to the un secretary general antonio terrace talks about the alarming security situation in the gulf it doesn't mention the us by name but it says currently in action is creating a lose lose situation instead it's proposing using a un security council resolution for more than 30 years ago to create a new mechanism for talks between the gulf states and iran the proposal by the iranian ambassador. is one that shows iran is pursuing

diplomacy is trying to be reasonable at the same time though coming up with a procedure that would cut the u.s. out of any negotiations it has already been welcomed by the russian ambassador but we fully support the need to do. something good version of regional security a good picture which would eventually wolf with the larger for months but the. need to have a venue for months to discuss good regional issues ambassador added he thought it was likely the security council would talk about the current tension between iran and the u.s. in the near future. a u.s. sanctions are making life in iran increasingly difficult iranians say it's their devalued currency that's a more pressing problem reports now from to have. in

iran ramadan is usually a time of spiritual reflection charity and family but for a 2nd here in a row as iranians began a month of fasting there was escalating pressure from the united states. every day they face angry exchanges with american leaders a buildup of u.s. forces on their doorstep. warnings to commercial flights in or near iranian airspace and threats from arab neighbors saudi arabia the u.a.e. and bahrain all that on top of an economy in freefall. well you know it's one of these guys that's it was trump or america can do anything you're on is not iraq even though they are strong iran's armed forces will stand against them that's going to get more dire than is on them or we think our military is as strong as the past but it isn't we should never face america directly i'm afraid because we keep saying they can't do anything they finally well and the siege of the islamic revolutionary guard corps that took to the streets in the revolution and changed

everything something iranian people speratus to that level but it isn't. a u.s. carrier strike group deployed close by in the arabian sea was for some a chance for a little levity a widely shared post has the abraham lincoln up for sale on a website for used goods. but for many talk of war is a real concern that some hope can be resolved through dialogue because one of my giving in the 2nd edition me i think if they enter into talks it will be better because this is the 21st century and we should avoid war now is the time for dialogue jank you can is it a man and a man also god of war in my opinion is not good for us now negotiation is the best our government could overlook some issues if this pressure could be reduced speaking to a group of young artists iranian president hassan rouhani said he always remains open to the idea of dialogue but not with us bullies even if it means taking on the world alone. iranians too young to remember when their country last fought

a war say fighting america seems unreal. yet many say they have more faith in the country's strategic defenses than its economy in the past year the prices of fast moving consumer goods like food and household items have all gone up even bread a staple of the iranian diet that has been price controlled for decades is more expensive now and in some places the price of a piece of bread has tripled whether they have known war or not a few here are keen to rush into battle with the united states in a meeting of the to her own city council this week chairman bo's'n hashmi rafsanjani the son of a founding father of the islamic republic warned that dissatisfaction at the possibility of unrest over high prices is iran's biggest immediate threat more so than another american war in the middle east. the one. who joins us

now in the studio is now a professor and director of the center for international and regional studies at georgetown university school of foreign service here in qatar good to have you with us so let me ask you 1st of all we have iran saying that it will increase production of enriched uranium president trump saying the u.s. is prepared to hit back at iran if they need to where does this now need to stand well right now we have seen a lowering of tensions over the last couple of days john bolton has been conspicuously silent on this u.s. national say u.s. national security adviser and the romney and president rouhani for example has talked about the possibility of negotiations at some point in the future although he has said the conditions aren't right now so at least there isn't talk a war they run in representative to the united nations as the report just indicated has proposed

a framework for. discussion the states of the persian gulf and so what we're seeing is an attempt on both sides both the americans and the iranians to lower the temperature at least for the time being what about the the mixed messages the see the seemed to come from the u.s. administration right now you mentioned john bolton the u.s. national security advisor has been very hawkish about all of this and some of accused him of basically running the show and we have donald trump saying let's calm down i don't i don't want to go to war but then we have him saying something something more belligerent the next day i mean how do the iranians read all of this how does it figure into their calculations about what they're going to do next one of the things we've seen on both sides is a remarkable consistency of behavior. both on the american side and on the iranian side what we see from donald trump is a constant engagement in a rhetoric that verges on bullying that is bullying rhetoric that is extremely

harsh and meant to bring the iranians to the negotiating table on the iranian side what we've seen is also remarkable consistency in the sense that they have not yielded to threats and i think both sides have now begun an understanding they have come to some sort of an understanding of the other side the iranians are aware that this is the kind of rhetoric that is going to come and they take it at that as rhetoric and the americans have discovered that this is not a group of people in teheran that they can necessarily bully into negotiations and so i think what we're seeing is probably the beginning of a healthy respect each side for the other and what about iran's decision on the iranian to increase to increase production of enriched uranium does that further that further jeopardizes the nuclear deal for sure but since the year. it is

already pulled out of it as well is it just a matter of time before i mean is this deal effectively doomed now if things continue as they are right now yes the deal is effectively doomed i think this is more a signal to the european union that it needs to abide on the part of the iranians that the e.u. needs to abide by its by the terms of the j c p o a the nuclear agreement of 2015 and this is an iranian expression of displeasure to move things along and so far as the. stale deal is concerned good to speak. of thanks for being with us thank you for hundreds of u.s. congressmen and senators have sent a letter to the white house urging president donald trump not to pull troops out of syria the bipartisan plea argues the united states should remain engaged in the conflict to protect regional allies democrats and republicans have voiced concern

after trump announced the withdrawal in december and shapiro reports. what's called boots on the ground has always been a complicated issue for the united states when it comes to the war in syria. at the height of the u.s. presence the pentagon had around 3000 troops there u.s. allied militia and coalition aircraft played an important role in reversing eisel territorial gains then u.s. president surprised many by declaring i suppose defeat and abruptly announced in december that u.s. forces were going home the u.s. defense secretary james mattis resigned a few days later blaming policy differences with donald trump. america shouldn't be doing the fighting. for every nation on earth trump's reluctance to get sucked into a never ending commitment in syria was shared by his predecessor he criticizes so often barack obama trump's original announcement to withdraw all u.s. forces from syria has evolved since december as allies and politicians raise their

concerns from thousands to around $400.00 the u.s. presence is shrinking into a small stabilisation mission to support local partners making many members of congress uncomfortable nearly 3 quarters of them have called on the president to remain engaged in syria in order to limit the presence of what they call terrorists and counter u.s. adversaries by supporting israel's military activities along its northern border using sanctions and diplomatic pressure on russia for supporting syrian president bashar assad and on iran for its support of hezbollah the letter does not call for the us to maintain a permanent force in syria or say how many troops should be there there is tremendous concern across the house and senate and probably 4 within some elements of the administration is well that you have open spaces within syria that can be taken over by the likes of isis hezbollah or factions

groups loyal to our iran or russia. it's unclear if such a letter will push the white house into articulating a clear strategy for syria if it has one at all and these members of congress appear to be raising far more concerns than they are providing solutions and are chapelle al-jazeera how the fishing zone off gaza has been reopened for the 1st time since cross border fighting with israel 2 weeks ago the israeli army says the zone has been extended to 15 kilometers as it was closed earlier this month off to the west fighting since the 2014 war at least $23.00 palestinians and 4 israelis were killed. the united nations may be forced to scale back the delivery of humanitarian aid to some parts of yemen under hooty control your officials accuse the rebels of blocking convoys and harassing staff but they said aid would only be suspended as a last resort a markets have reopened in the port city of the data as

south africa's former president jacob zuma is back in court for a 2nd day hoping judges will slow out corruption charges against him zuma is accused of fraud money laundering and racketeering some of those charges go back to a controversial arms deal exposed while he was deputy president his lawyers call the case politically motivated mob justice for media miller is at the high court in pietermaritzburg suffer me to what are we expecting today that. well so far as a we've heard from the french military arms company tal is and this is the company that's alleged to have bribed jacob zuma more than a decade ago relating to the supply. frigates to south africa we understand that part of these allegations have to do with a payment that amounts to

a few $1000000.00 rand and both tallis and jacob zuma have. said that this isn't the case and have denied any wrongdoing say there's been no corrupt relationship but also tell is is wanting to separate its case from jacob zuma as as you mentioned there is a lot of controversy around the case of jacob zuma and that he maintains that this is mob justice that there is a political conspiracy against him and that this trial should have been heard long ago and these are some of the arguments that both jacob zuma and talers are relying on that this incident this alleged incident goes back to 1909 and that given that you ration of time witnesses may not necessarily be relied on this certainly could be some doubt cast on their testimony they are also saying that this is a trial that should have gone on some time ago and in the interim they have been take nicole challenger's which they are using now to get these charges thrown out.

a reminder that china currently controls 90 percent of the world's rare earth supply and this was a very very symbolic message she was perhaps sending to the united states. well u.s. president donald trump has lost the 1st round of what could be a long battle with congress over access to his finances a judge in the u.s. has ruled against him he says congress should get those documents and democrats have the right to investigate the president's trunk called the ruling crazy and said he'd appeal of course the salumi has more now from a trump rally in pennsylvania. as a gift shop stressed the country's economic growth and. cancel out his brownie but on the way here he said he was disappointed in the federal judge's decision not to plug in a request from the house oversight committee seeking financial records from him and

that this morning he was discovered unresponsive and later pronounced dead now this will have been the 5th child to have died in u.s. government custody along the border in just 6 months this 16 year old boy had been staying in facilities that were intended to hold children for no longer than 72 hours these are the places where we've seen those images of children sleeping in what looks like cages without beds laying on the concrete floor although it's too early to say what contributed to his death we know that last week a toddler died due to pneumonia as well as other children who are kept south of the border in mexico under trump's weight in mexico policy last week as well a 10 year old girl perished in a mexico city shelter there. in a few moments we'll have the weather with everton but still ahead on

have to be devalued against the dollar and electricity and gas prices will go up the prime minister's critics are furious has come out high reports now from islamabad. after months of negotiations with the international monetary fund and the agreement on a $6000000000.00 loan package bugger's gone government needs to current draw economic crises and there did with the i.m.f. may not be did. but if. pakistan needs to undertake a very painful but it's an adjustment to perform that of the country we need to undertake most notably that includes a more flexible couldn't see 2nd reforms in electricity and gas sector turd reforms in the public sector enterprises which are. throwing up huge losses. and election campaign ever on conic you with previous government for avoiding

excessively from the i.m.f. . now he'd. agreed a loan with the organization saying the wall won't be affected by death something many people here aren't buying and. i'm a painter and if we talk about the dollar rupee parity it goes without saying that a falling rupee will mean rising costs for payment which will have a knock on effect on people like me. there is widespread anger including from the opposition my dear almighty mall the government the soldiers into the slavery of the i.m.f. and we do not accept us we announce rebellion both against this and the government sitting in poland witnessed the destruction of a country. many economists and political opponents are calling the deal a sellout and it really poured a heavy burden on an already for doing a corner me and lead to hyperinflation their government their delayed going to the i.m.f. because of the help their god from their fellow d.

then do you a why did all that their record amount of bordering by a previous government mean that 45 percent of the annual budget had to be used for dead repayment and it had to acknowledge. where they're falling rupee essential gordon through like getting nearer and that's something many. it's not what they were expecting from a government that promised change and relief for the fall. islamabad . is a political economist and professor at columbia university joins us now from karate thanks very much for being with us so just talk to us about how much how much pain is going to be inflicted on on pakistanis when these measures are carried out. i think it's going to be devastating and i think it's very clear that you know the. slogan with which imran khan was elected and the promise that he sort of brought

forth in the july elections was one of change and he certainly changed pakistan for the worse and the economy has been on the brink of collapse saying for the last 8 or 9 months and now it's going to go downhill even further off to the i.m.f. after an agreement with the i.m.f. was finally concluded i think what's happened i think the biggest problem has been this d.d. dallying this waiting this hoping that we won't go to the i.m.f. the former finance minister of iran hon imran khan himself kept saying we won't go to them they're not to this is not the best option and perhaps they were right but for 10 months they did nothing and now what's happened is that it's almost a double squeeze the i.m.f. program is always going to be difficult it's always going to be constraining it's going to contract the economy it's going to raise interest rates is going to cause devaluation all that has happened in the last week literally one week after the

agreement was signed but i think what they've done with this government the biggest problem that they've had is that they waited too long had that done this in august you know you would have done it gotten gotten over the initial phase very quickly and then a newly elected government always has more room more leverage but you know it's just it's been a complete mess bad management misgovernance and daily daddy and we mentioned there that this is the 13th bailout that pakistan has had since the 1980 s. well why why has pakistan's economy struggled for so long because it is it is part of it because of what you are talking about their government mismanagement. it may be the 13th sort of bailout agreement with the i.m.f. but pakistan has always been known as a one tranche country except for the last 2 agreement of one which undertook and the other one which is the government the last literally the last one

which was agreed to with the idea that the only 2 programs out of the 13 which have actually been completed and the irony is that every time there's an economic crisis which is very frequent every 4 to 5 years the cycle of a debt crisis the balance of payment crisis and the government runs to the i.m.f. but they're not willing to accept the very harsh and perhaps $1.00 would say even necessary conditionality that the i.m.f. imposes and that's why it's pakistan has never completed its programs except these last 2 to so to say that this is the 13th program is true but again we need to see the context so unless the government is willing to undertake very difficult decisions and and we could we've put from what we see. the i.m.f. agreement looks like at the moment this is going to be very very harsh and we can order to see that in the end this loss in this last week so if they're willing to go the course then perhaps you might be able to make the case that ok they're

finally getting on to a truck but what may happen see the i.m.f. agreement is always $6000000000.00 in this case which is going to be released every quarter so if they're not going according to plan you know raise for the conditions of may halt the program so we have to see every quarter every 3 or 4 months how the government is performing and they could just throw their hands up in the end say they can't go ahead with this anymore. he could speak with you thank you. venezuelan president nicolas maduro has proposed holding early elections for the opposition controlled national assembly the next election isn't until late 2020 at least a dozen assembly members have been stripped of their legislative immunity and face charges of treason and subversion coincides with talks held in the us with representatives of opposition leader one goh i dote on latin america at its newman has more from caracas. president hugo last mughal had said many many times over the

last few months that he is willing one fact that he wants to bring forward elections for the national assembly the only institution that he does not control so that in and of itself is not new what's new is the context there have been exploratory talks between the government and the opposition of. the opposition in norway nothing supposedly had come of this but now president says that he is willing to quote speak to the devil if that will bring peace now the devil of course that he is referring to is why the opposition leader but it's not clear why the wants to talk to him at least about that because he has put 3 or maybe 3 demands which he says are not negotiable and that is for her to resign for there to be a transition government and for elections to be held but not just for the national assembly but for all of the institutions in the country starting with the

presidency so it's not clear at all whether this latest suggestion is really going to fly or the word whether it will work at all to try to unlock this deadlock a corruption trial is about to begin in argentina for former president cristina ferdinand for nando's to kirschner that's just 48 hours after she announced she was running for vice president in october as election reports from one of. the latino vote and. she was argentina's president for 18 years from 2007 to. 2015. 4 years later cristina fernandez the kitchener continues to be one of the most important politicians in the country. right now she's on trial for her alleged role in a corruption probe worth millions of dollars during her administration. lawyers likely get on one of the sons say the links between kirshner and the businessman are a crucial part of the investigation that will be the nobody has been able to prove

close to finance europe was not able to give real answers as it put too many limits on everything and there are many parts of the european population who felt the burden of the european union without feeling the advantages of. the european parliament consists of 751 amy pease representing more than 500000000 people from 28 countries the big question is how many of them will give their backing to new alliance a far right european leaders. global sea levels could rise by 2 meters by the end of this century twice as high as predicted if carbon emissions continue unchecked that's according to a study which draws on new data revealing how the ice sheets in greenland and antarctica are warming and melting the rise could entirely submerge some island nations and coastal cities and more than 118000000 people could be displaced the

authors say human activity is behind rising global temperatures but it can be avoided if carbon emissions are cut or jonathan bamber is a professor of glaciology at the university of bristol and is the lead author of the report he joins us now from bristol good to have you with us so 1st off talk to us a little bit more about how you arrived at these projections and what they're based on where ok so the the approach we took was something called structured expert judgment i don't need to go into the details too much about the methodology but what we're attempting to do is produce what are called probabilistic estimates of what both the greenland and antarctic ice sheets would do over the next century and actually up to 2300 by. consulting more or asking a group of experts or a series of questions about the behavior of the ice sheets and how they would

respond to climate change in the future and we pulled those. views of the experts together produced what as i say a probabilistic estimate of sea level rise 421222300 so on and by probably istic what i mean is that we we. estimated what the most likely contribution of the ice sheets to be to sea level rise but also what the less likely but plausible estimates might be so what we call the 5 percent probability so 5 percent that's that's that's quite a low likelihood you know it means it's something that might happen one in 20 times but it's it's it's not it's obviously above 0 you know it's still a plausible estimate it's it's the sort of value 5 percent probability is the kind of value that planners would use based on a quarterly principle for example and what if what effects could all of this have

on humans i mean there although these warnings about entire areas of land and countries being completely submerged large coated coastal cities like shanghai like new york for example. being affected i mean how how likely it is a scenario like that and when when could that happen. well that's right that there are. at least i think about 20 megacities those coastal cities with populations of over 8000000 people in coastal areas that are very susceptible to sea level rise a city of london is is one of the new york san francisco janiero carter and so on and in terms of likelihood well it's the to me to sea level rise that we project $2100.00 is not the most likely scenario but it is a plausible scenario so it is one that we should consider if we want to plan and

adapt to future sea level rise but the other thing i should say about that estimate is that it was based on the assumption that we carry on increasing our emissions of greenhouse gases into the future and i mean sadly even since the historic paris agreement in 2015 it pretty much looks like we've been doing that up until this year for sure so carbon emissions have carried on increasing even after the paris agreement 2050 that was our assumption and based on based on the assumption we estimated this. temperature rise of 5 degrees by 2100 above pre-industrial and how how do you say like i mean how that's always a worst case scenario sure how optimistic are you about the impact of this study on on the public because this comes not long after the release of that study last week

i believe it was that said thousands of species of animals and plants could be wiped out by by climate change do you get the sense at all that people are starting to wake up to the seriousness of all this. it's certainly the case in the u.k. if i just look at. what's covered in the media in the last hour i don't know say 6 months it's it's so for example the i.p.c.c. see that's the intergovernmental panel on climate change issued a special report on global warming of 1.5 degrees in october last year and. pretty much since then there has been very regular coverage of the impacts of climate change. for for humanity for biodiversity for the ecosystem for our oceans and things like ocean city for cation. and so i you know i i i want to be optimistic about our ability to do something about this and to

turn the tide in shift from increasing emissions to doing decreasing emissions and meet the target that we we all cite all well almost 200 nations signed up to in paris let's hope it makes a difference jonathan bamber good to speak with you. time now for small here's a hyphen thank you so much nicky lauder one of formula one's greatest ever drivers has died at the age of 70 the austrian won 3 world titles claiming 2 of them after a near fatal crash in 1976 we welling's looks back at the career of a man who never knew when he was. in his prime it louder was one of the most famous people in sport formula one world champion 3 times 2 of these titles came after an astonishing recovery from a crash that almost killed him. and dressmakers lauder was born in vienna in 1949

listen to what they're saying and to try to keep your brain working and to get the body ready to fight against illness and i think this was very good that i did that because indeed where survive a lot of retired from the foreign advice of the season author just 2 laps concerned with its eventual writing hunt completed the rice in 3rd place to win the 76 drivers' title by a single point move now the did manage to reassert himself dominating the 77 season to regain his title. when he left ferrari there was a lame period including too short a time it's. by 99 he turned he was back winning races with mclaren and part of another famous rivalry this time with tonight alan crossed he beat the frenchman to the 84 well drive his title by just half a point when he finally retired as a driver at the end of the 85 season there is still plenty to keep him busy he won his own airline and yes there were times he was back in the cockpit as a pilot. management positions include the returns

a ferrari in the ninety's and he was not exactly to. win my son lewis hamilton in 2012. parts of his legacy would be his dedication to drive to safety. the damage from the 76 car before but the trophies and powers of recovery and what you define if you leave weddings al-jazeera. the golden state warriors advance to the n.b.a. finals for a 5th straight year golden state securing 819-2117 overtime win against portland trailblazers the wrap up of for nothing series sweep in the western conference finals the 6 time champions will next take on either the toronto raptors or the marking books as a hunger about us and whether we win or lose you know if we take pride in how we play and. you know if i say follow the historic nature with
