france president hassani says he wants talks with the u.s. but not in the current climate he says tyrants only choice is resistance as the u.s. says it's strengthening its military presence in the region because of unspecified threats from iran and washington politicians want to know exactly what those threats are radical he reports. leaving the white house president donald trump says he's willing to talk to you iran's leaders when they are ready while seemingly downplaying a potential threat iran would be making a very big mistake if they did it even 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. a rock 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 countries enrich to prove duct through some technical modifications has been increased by nearly 4 times with any new change 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 new 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 took a closer look at that announcement by iran's atomic energy organization to increase production of low enriched uranium iran will quadruple its outlet of the material output rather 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 $300.00 k.g. that's allowed to produce a less european partner for spawn this increase will effectively render part of the deal this nuclear deal void iran is urging the united nations general secretary general to arrange talks to ease tensions and the call here's our diplomatic editor james days at u.n. headquarters. the letter which has been sent to the current president of the un security council indonesia and to the un secretary general antonio good terrorists 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 we fully support the need to do. something. regional security addiction which would eventually wolf for months but the. need to have

a venue for months to discuss 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. making life in iran increasingly difficult iranian say it's their devalued currency that's a more pressing problem. in tehran. * 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. so yeah it's one of these

guys that's it was trump or america can't do anything iran is not iraq even though they are strong iran's armed forces will stand against them that's going to get. them is on your mark we think our military is as strong as their ass 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 spirit is still at that level but it isn't. a us 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 when i get back in the 2nd edition 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

even as it was a 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 strategic defenses than its economy in the past year the prices of fast moving consumer goods like food and household items have been bred. staple of the iranian diet that has been price controlled for decades is more expensive now i don't some places the price of a piece of bread has tripled whether they have know the 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 most in hushed me roughs and john the son of a founding father of the islamic republic warned that dissatisfaction and the possibility of unrest over high prices is iran's biggest immediate threat more so than another american war in the middle east the same bus ride the old 0 to $1.00. hundreds of u.s. congressmen and senators have signed a letter to the white house urging president ronald from not troops out of syria a part of simply argues the united states should remain engaged in their conflict to protect regional allies and hats and republicans have voiced concern after trump announced they would trial in december and for schapelle 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 the us 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 trumps reluctance to get sucked into a never ending commitment in syria was shared by his predecessor he criticizes so often barack obama trumps 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. around 400 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 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 or

russian opposite or let's recap the top stories this hour president hassani says he

favors diplomacy with the u.s. but the current situation isn't suitable for talks on monday tehran announced it has quadrupled its production of low enriched uranium. hundreds of u.s. politicians and sent a letter to the white house urging president donald trump not to pull out of syria they say the u.s. should remain engaged in the conflict to protect regional allies. and the united nations says it may be forced to scale back the delivery of aid to parts of yemen under the control of blames the rebels for blocking convoys and harassing staff. the founder of wall ways says the u.s. is underestimating the strength of its company. says the chinese tech giant won't be affected by washington's blacklisting which makes it almost impossible to do business in the us locals parent company alphabet said it was suspending some ties with wally and some american chip makers may be forced to stop supplying parts to it please although this time we're on the blacklist our own company won't be affected by it but the us is a country with the rule of law the u.s.

companies cannot avoid respecting the launch as the media reports on this they should deeply understand that u.s. companies share a common fate with us or you should ask more from beijing. well we're enjoying fay was in defiant and confident mood as he met representatives of china's various state controlled media outlets he said that the united states had in his words underestimated wild ways abilities he also played down the impact of recent u.s. actions he also said that no country in the world could catch up with the advances that while way has made in 5 g. technology he also conceded that he fully expected that is daughter would go to jail now this was in a later interview with state controlled t.v. his daughter of course is mongering joshi's the chief financial officer of war way she's currently being held in canada awaiting extradition to the united states

where she faces charges over violating u.s. sanctions and in many ways she is central to this whole friction between china and the united states right now meanwhile president xi jinping has been touring a rare earths mine in the southeast of the country this of course is 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 global sea levels could rise by 2 meters by the end of this century twice as high as predicted of carbon emissions continue unchecked that's according to new research which looks at how the melting ice sheets in greenland and antarctica could contribute to global sea levels increase could entirely submerge some island nations and coastal cities faster jonathan bamber of the university of bristol is the lead author of the report written with 20 research experts. the approach we

took was something called structured expert judgment i don't think i need to go into the details too much about the methodology but what we're attempting to do was produce what are called probabilistic estimates of what both the greenland and antarctic ice sheet to do over the next century and actually up to 2300 by. consulting 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 and produced 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 a kind of value that planners would use based on a quarterly principle for example. south africa's former president jacob zuma is back in court for a 2nd day hoping the judges dismiss corruption charges is accused of fraud money laundering and racketeering with some charges related to a controversial arms deal as lawyers described the case as politically motivated mob justice minister has the details from the high court and. french military arms company has been making representation in the pietermaritzburg high court today and that company is saying that it shouldn't be linked to the former president jacob

zuma and that's despite this being the company that allegedly bribed the former president in relation to an arms deal that took place as far back as 1909. is saying that its case should be had sympathy but it's also wanting all these charges to be dropped and if that's the case it would be a permanent stay of prosecution we do expect these court proceedings and arguments to be out of the next few days it's not certain if a final judgment will be given by the pietermaritzburg high court by the panel of judges hearing this case it could take some time for the court to decide whether or not jacob zuma does indeed stand trial for corruption ford money laundering and reckitt tearing and if that does happen it would be late to the c.e.o. drawing out already a very long list sagal that's captivated to many south africans a cost of living is set to rise further in pakistan in the aftermath of its latest

bailout from the international monetary fund the terms will force the rupee to be devalued against the dollar and electricity and gas prices will go up to report. after months of negotiation and review international monetary fund an agreement on a $1000000000.00 loan package gone government. economic crises and their deal with. may not be desirable but it's necessary pakistan needs to undertake a very painful but it's an adjustment to perform that the country will need to understand. what they mean it includes a more flexible and can see 2nd reforms in the electricity and gas sector. reforms in the public sector enterprises which are. throwing up huge losses.

i ended election campaign everyone can accuse previous governments of warring excessively from the i.m.f. now he they agreed to a loan with the organization saying the wall won't be affected by debt something many people here aren't buying and. i'm a painter and if you 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 moral the government the soldiers into the slavery of the i.m.f. and we do not accept this 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 put a heavy burden on an already for drink economy and lead to hyper inflation the

government there delayed going through the i am mad because of the help it got from their saudi then they u.a.e. i did all that their record amount of bordering by previous government means that 45 percent of the annual budget had to be used for dead repayment and it had to act . where they're falling rupee essential goods then sula getting nearer and that something many say is not what they were expecting from a government that promised change and relief for the fall come on. islam all baas. and when president nicolas maduro has proposed holding early elections for the opposition control 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 the talks held in the us with representatives of opposition leader want. 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's referring to is why the opposition leader but it's not clear that 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 you 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 would it whether it will work at all to try to unlock this deadlock or corruption trial begins in argentina for former president cristina fernandez de kirchner just 48 hours after announcing she was running for vice president an october selection reports. and c.n.n. she was argentina's president for 80 years from 2007 to 2050. 4 years later cristina fernandez that continues to be one of the most important politicians in the. yes 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

the judiciary in argentina tends to lean towards those in power. there is political persecution there is animosity and judges pushing cases improperly against certain political figures but i believe it has to do with the justice system as a source of power and not because they are responding to those who are in government. kirshner was expected to run in the october presidential election against modi. but the former president surprised everyone on saturday when she said she. who would run for vice president instead i company i would bet at the foot of man there is a former political. move that is supposed to help her party win more votes. this year there is fear and disenchantment with my korean suspense there are 3 different fears the one who is afraid of christina votes for my create the one who is afraid of my creed or christina and the one who is afraid of both is not sure
