kids in just a minute but 1st this report from ravi on how iranians are coping with all this talk of war. * 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. in bahrain all that on top of an economy in freefall on the day it's one of these guys that's it will 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 not going to get. the news on myanmar we think 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 and 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 i mean i think if they enter into talks it would be better because this is the 21st century and we should avoid war now is the time for dialogue jank even as it is also about 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'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 most in hushed me rafsanjani 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 zain basra the old jazeera. so let's go to came believe how can right now who's at the white house for us kimberly how much skepticism is there in congress right now on iran and any potential threat from iran as the white house is arguing. there is quite a bit of skepticism about the trump administration's arguments and there's frustration too that this administration has in the eyes of many on capitol hill allowed them to be kept in the dark and that is why after weeks of pleading for briefings there will be some held today in both the house and later in the senate we know that the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei oh along with the joint chiefs of staff general joseph dunford will be briefing members of congress in closed door briefings but

the house which is controlled by democrats is getting a 2nd opinion if you will inviting for another briefing the former cia director john brennan as well as a former state department official wendy sherman who helped to negotiate the 2015 iran nuclear agreement so in the midst of all of this they're certainly being challenged the trumpet ministration by members of congress because their frustration with the trumpet ministrations vacillating foreign policy they say on the one hand donald trump has offered to meet with iran's leadership well at the other hand he has been using words that many he's likened to outright bombast so with a rod we'll see what happens but they've been very hostile they've really been the number one. provocateur of tara for this country of the you know representing their country but certainly our country has been very much involved because we're trying to help a lot of people out and i don't mind that at all we have no indication that

anything's happened or will happen but if it does it will be met obviously with great force will have no choice thank you billy on the question of any conflict can the white house actually allow the u.s. to go to war with iran without the express permission of congress. well legally it's congress that must approve war and continues to remind the white house of that but the concern on capitol hill is that the administration is crafting a legal argument to use what's known as the authorization for military force that's something that was put in place after the september 11th attacks in 2001 to protect the united states from the sort of any attack by al qaeda and what we've seen in recent weeks is the administration using some of the language from the math it's known to craft an argument for defense from any sort of threat from iran making the argument for example the u.s. secretary of state saying that because he has in times transited through iran that

there is a clear link between the 2 and as a result you're hearing this language of needing to protect american interests used repeatedly because that is language from the now the house speaker nancy pelosi says this is not acceptable this is a weak link at best this is not allowed in no way allows the administration to go to war without congressional approval but there are others that are more hawkish * for example senator lindsey graham who's a republican in the senate a very loud and senior foreign policy voice he has been briefed on this matter and in the last 24 hours tweeted that iran has attacked pipelines and ships and other nations and created what he calls a threat stream against american interests in iran if iranian threats against american personnel interests are activated the united states must deliver an overwhelming military response it's clear that there are many on capitol hill there are willing to go to war with iran and are already crafting the arguments necessary to do so kimberly thanks for that kimberly how could in washington force but

joining us on the set now is mike juve's where the director of the go studies center and qatar university could to see you again so let me ask you 1st off the mixed messages that are coming from the u.s. administration the president saying one thing one day and something different another day and people. within his administration saying something else as well how is all of that playing into iran's calculations about how he reacts. this is part of the scenario i think for this kind of war affords between washington and tehran and mr lovell in washington it was obvious that there is disagreement bit on a very crucial issue which is who's running the show is that bolton is the president what are going to national security and national security adviser so i think in the last few days since the leak went to the new york times about you know deploying 120000 soldiers or told to the region it was sort of. went asian

different views on things are going that's the reason we witnessed in the last 4 days the president coming back and he is leading most of the statements on it comes to iran where things should go and that is important because because what what iran wants to hear from washington is actually the president they don't want to hear the others because they know bolton is pushing 2 words confrontation or even but they want to hear words of where the president is going iran is calculations very clear that the maximum the president kind of still is 5 years does it worth to enter a confrontation with this president doesn't work to have a war to which basically iran will be losing may be the region will lose its existence. from the history of iranian the last 3040 years this does a world so the best solution is to go and find an exit strategy there's so she can

go with opening sort of an all behind door negotiation or actually. you know before coming negotiation that's 2 options on the table however it already is side they are looking to administration to see whether the trump can offer something because they need to see someone just to. attacked just to you know to. undermine iran or actually he has he can't offer something to iran i think the president and the only those who want to say they want to see whether the time can offer them something so they can take it take it and the and then start speak about the next step and how are our israel and saudi arabia going to be looking at this because it is no secret that there are people in senior people in both of those countries who have been very confrontational with iran some say encouraging the u.s. here do you get the sense that the united states and then president specifically is getting boxed in here into perhaps an accidental conflict with iran i think we have

to look at 2 different views from israel or from saudi arabia is that it is i'm not sure personally the v.a. are in favor of military. option against iran they want to limit iranian movement in the region if they can do so that would be great but i'm not sure according to their own security national security strategy they want to undermine iran because they don't want to look you know to run the whole show they want to have a balance in the region where iran can balance turkey so i'm not sure they are actually pushing toward a military confrontation however they may push towards sort of. i would say behaving pushing iran to behave itself and change its behavior when it comes to the it's obvious that the op wants a confrontation with so the with the with the with the iranian because that is the only way they can they can emerge as a digital power because iran the only computer with the with so the arabia

according to the other and their mining their politics undermining their role and their minding their own and i surely raising more question about the legitimacy of the monarchy there and that's the reason why actually they're pushing towards sort of confrontation washington i'm not sure that they are buying this. is nothing to fight on behalf of anyone even israelis he is ready to give some concessions he is actually delivered to fight on behalf of others this is a man whose calculating his steps i could to get your perspective on this as always and i'm going to wait thank you. now iraq's prime minister says he's sending a dedication to the united states and iran concerns a military confrontation could lead to more conflict in iraq which is a u.s. ally and iran's neighbor charles traffic reports from baghdad. iraqi fighters backed by iran the fighting i saw in 2014. experts say that without the

popular mobilization forces or p.m.s. the victory over eisel in iraq may not have won. but with the u.s. now increasing pressure on iran many iraqis are concerned that they will be caught in the middle. washington says the pyramid for one of iran's proxy fighting forces and or a potential threat to u.s. interests in iraq including about $5200.00 u.s. soldiers stationed here there are tens of thousands of fighters among different p.m.s. factions in iraq and look at that and to say that america wants to control this region and to exploit its resources and frankly that's why we totally stand with these damage republic of iran and its people because iranian people are being oppressed by the sanctions also there is a religious bond between us that's another motive to support iran. one pir function led by the influential shiite cleric other assad or has distanced

itself from iran but said that any party that threatens iraq's stability is an enemy neither iran nor its people compare another war he tweeted on monday we need peace and reconstruction any party that ignites iraq with war and makes it a battlefield will be an enemy of the iraqi people. the u.s. has withdrawn its non-emergency staff from the embassy in baghdad there was an evacuation of exxon mobil foreign workers over the weekend from an oil field in the south of the country a katyusha rocket was fired into the green zone which is home to the u.s. embassy on monday night nobody claimed responsibility as the war of words continues between the u.s. and iran the atmosphere here in iraq is increasingly tense. the iraqi prime minister says any u.s. intelligence about increasing threats to u.s. interests in iraq is wrong and his country has been mediating between both sides to

try and avoid further escalating tension and. iraq is very concerned that its country might be a battleground so iraq is seeking solutions between the iranians and the u.s. and their allies including saudi arabia iraq knows that if this fireball grows bigger it will set a blaze in the society dividing it deeply. p.m.s. will formally integrated into iraq military and security apparatus in 2016 they take part in raids on eisel sleeper cells in iraq almost every day but amid fears of a military confrontation between the u.s. and iran there are questions over how these iran backed fighters in iraq would respond. like that. all right we've got plenty more ahead on this news hour why the lawyers for south africa's former president are calling his trial mob justice. the problems that are literally piling up for venezuelans.

later in sport bosky balls most dominant team heading to the n.b.a. finals for a 5th straight season. paula still ahead but 1st protest leaders in sudan are calling on their supporters to prepare for a general strike demonstrators say they will remain on the streets of khartoum until a civilian led government is installed talks to discuss just that will continue later on tuesday between the military and opposition alliance after breaking up with no agreement again on the makeup of the new ruling body mohamad out of is live for us in the heart to so mohamed atta what are we to make of this latest news then . well as i'm the opposition movement leaders for the people of sudan or maltese they're saying prepare for our generals

trike what they're calling a complete shutdown of sudan this saying it will be tough it will be painful but that is necessary if the. objectives of the revolution have been realized they're very frustrated they say with how the negotiations with the generals and the transitional military council has gone so far as saying the generals are insisting on not only leading in this sort but in council but also taking a majority of the 11 seats on these organ which is going to be the highest point of the transitional government planned false was done saying what we want is a civilian led administration and civilian means civilian and not a military led out with on the hunt the generals are saying no we have already made so many compromises we've given the opposition movement the legislative council which is made up of $300.00 members of parliament and the executive council which

is going to be made up of a couple not of technocrats and they say it's only fair if this is going to be a hybrid council for them to lead and steer the sword in council to ensure that these no vacuum done ghouls of the 3 years to a democratic elections 100 i don't thanks very much. south africa's former president jacob zuma is back in court for a 2nd day hoping that judges will dismiss the corruption charges against him music used of fraud money laundering and racketeering some of the charges related to an arms deal his lawyers are calling the case politically motivated mob justice for me to miller is the high court in peter maritzburg force of the media what what are we getting on the 2nd day then. poll

has him at this point we're hearing more arguments from these french arms company is that is saying that they will also incorrectly charged with corruption this hearing goes alongside that of the former president jacob zuma to determine whether or not they should to stand trial for corruption in this case both toddlers and jacob zuma arguing that these corruption charges should be permanently dropped no tallis is saying that there were procedural errors that it shouldn't be heard a alongside jacob zuma these are 2 separate cases but we've also heard from the court that they can't be separated or it shouldn't appear that way because one is allegedly the company who paid a bribe to jacob zuma by his former financial advisor and the other a is allegedly the recipient of that that bribe so at this point we're hearing further arguments and sensually will determine what happens next if the courts jury

in the course of the week or will live it makes the judgment decides that a corruption trial will proceed it's likely that we will see both this french arms company tallis as well as jacob zuma stand trial possibly later this year in october. and as far as the prosecution's case against the former president how compelling is the evidence that they've gathered. well much of these allegations are based around about 783 suspicious payments that were made to jacob zuma as i mentioned a lot of this revolved around his former adviser financial adviser should be a shaikh who was tried for corruption at that time it was found that there was a corrupt relationship the court had said these words that it was a corrupt relationship between jacob zuma and should be a shake and should be a shake was the only one who was tried he was sentenced to 15 years in prison but then received medical parole just 2 years into that but much of this is based

around those events and even though it goes back more than a decade and these change charges rather have been laid against jacob zuma they have been withdrawn and then once again reinstated the issue may not necessarily be the evidence but perhaps the amount of time that's passed since jacob zuma was 1st charged in 2007 and that's much of the argument that his lawyers and the the defense are using against the prosecutors in that too much time has passed the witness involved in this case maybe they maybe doubt cost on some of the evidence and these are some of the questions that have been raised to push for this case to be thrown out for me to miller thank you. the founder of huawei says the u.s. is underestimating the strength of his company ranging phare warned blacklisting the chinese tech giant in the u.s. would have implications for american companies later on monday the u.s.

issued a temporary license allowing some companies to continue supporting existing networks and devices. although this time we're on the blacklist our own company won't be affected by it but the u.s. is a country with the rule of law u.s. companies cannot avoid respecting the launch as the media reports on this issue deeply understand that u.s. companies share a common fate with us adrian brown has more on this now from beijing. well ranging 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 a global sea levels could rise to meet is by the end of this century if carbon emissions remain unchecked twice as high as 1st predicted that's according to new research which looks at how the melting ice sheets in greenland and antarctica

contribute to global sea levels or the rise could submerge some island nations and coastal cities. professor jonathan bamber at the university of bristol is the lead author of the report he says sea levels will continue to rise if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced. 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 one of the new york san francisco. 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 2015 but that was our assumption and based on based on that assumption we estimated this. temperature rise of 5 degrees by 2100 above pre-industrial. now the u.s. weather service is warning the risk of tornadoes in the midwest is at its highest in years around a dozen tornadoes hit the region on monday many homes had their roofs ripped off and other buildings were damaged in parts of oklahoma and kansas. it's get more weather now his evident well those violent storms those tornadoes and now kicking
