12:01 pm
welcome to al-jazeera iran's atomic energy organization says it plans to increase your rainy i'm in richmond to herat has already stopped adhering to some elements of the 2015 nuclear agreement in may after the us withdrew last year and began reintroducing sanctions iran said it would start enriching uranium at higher production levels unless the european signatories uphold their end of the agreement . now you. will begin chill mortician the countdown has started in 10 days time on june 27 we will exceed the 300 kilogram limit of enriched uranium allowed under the nuclear deal after that we will continue to increase the speed of production drastically. correspondent joins me now from tehran and also if the increase in new rainy and enrichment continues and goes further than was ever
12:02 pm
planned in the j c.p.o. way what stage is that agreement broken. well i think so hell that's really up to the european signatories of this deal the president has one ronny has given the european 60 days from may and we're about 3 weeks away from that deadline and according to today's announcement they are preparing for the worst inside iran they're saying that if the europeans don't hold up their end of this deal then iran will continue with its program and its advancements based on what the leaders of the country will want now the important thing to note is that the iranians have said when the americans withdrew from the 2015 nuclear agreement last year the europeans were too afraid to hold up their end of the deal that the americans imposed a series of sanctions on iran that has crippled the country's economy the iranians have called the economic terrorism and they want the europeans not only to continue
12:03 pm
to hold up their end of the deal nothing has been actually delivered from the europeans in terms of what would they iranians wanted to see change inside the country there was the number of deals that were supposed to happen none of that has happened because the iranians say the europeans are being bullied by the americans they're too afraid to act because they're afraid of the americans and what they will do to their countries this is something very very critical right now in the iranians are saying whatever the outcome is we need to make sure that we have our own interests at heart and that this spite slowing down our nuclear program and agreeing to these things which is 300 kilograms of enrich uranium at a level of 3.67 percent now iran has had the capability of producing up to 20 percent enriched uranium under the presidency a few years ago that's something they've scaled back under this nuclear deal they're saying if the europeans aren't delivering on their end of the bargain why
12:04 pm
should we keep hearing to this agreement when we don't see any of the benefits they did of course everybody is not focusing on the dates of the 27th of june or the 7th of july every day these past. few weeks of the past few months the focus really has been both on land and on sea in the region because the tenseness can be quite is quite palpable it can be felt both in the political rhetoric that is coming sort of in washington in the military buildup in the region. yes certainly and according to iran's president has some rouhani he said on saturday that the reason we're seeing all these escalations of tensions in the region is because of the united states policies towards iran they prevented the international community from buying a rain in oil last november they extended sarah a waiver since the 8 countries but as a whole iran's oil market has been severely scaled back because of this u.s.
12:05 pm
sanctions and the reason that the iranians say there is so much instability in the strait of hormuz in the gulf of oman that we've seen over the past few days is because of the u.s. policy it's creating this environment of panic and that we need to actually move forward with the nuclear deal because it is a very good possibility that the future of this deal will mean the stability of this region will see what happens for the moment so we'll leave it there thanks very much. on top of the top story the world knowing that member of hong kong's pro-democracy movement has been freed from prison and is joining us protests joshua once served a jail sentence for his role in the 2014 umbrella demonstrations that blocked hong kong's major roads for weeks now he's backing calls for the city's beijing back to the leader to resign or the organizers say up to 2000000 protesters rallied in hong kong on sunday against chief executive kerry land and the extradition bill she's
12:06 pm
now shelved the amendment would allow criminal suspects to be sent to mainland china for trial opponents want the bill scrapped altogether let's speak to what brought it to hong kong and rob of course people power certainly has resonated in the halls of power and it's led to a very surprising release from jail. that's right absolutely sale joshua one very much the man of the moment he has been down here to the legislative council building and government building complex and given a rapturous reception treated almost like a rock star by many of the young demonstrators who have turned out and is joining us now joshua let me ask you to move in here please you have come down here you've spoken to the mainly young students a what's been your message to them today we urge the leader of hong kong caroline must step down and fully withdraw the extradition laws that might extradite hong
12:07 pm
kong people to him and then china face to unfair trial i surf jail sentence and just leave prison today mourning is lucky that even i missed those. demonstration now i can join the fight and lead people to iraq to know that under the rule of china we would not keep silence what do you think about the the efforts made by the young students out in the streets that's the achievement of hong kong citizen how we gather to be aliens on compete in hong kong such a city with only $7000000.00 citizens this kind of massive mobilization never happened in a pos but with it even life's larger having a larger scale than umbrella movement people obviously make comparisons between umbrella on the this movement similarities and differences one of the big differences of course they don't have any joshua long's what do you think about this whole being an almost a leaderless movement an anonymous group i would say that movement kerney happen is
12:08 pm
more organic at the same time it also show how home people ready for the fight instead of relying on any specific icon or leader we realize how we are ready for the fight and show i would come in especially when the differences compared i'm proud of and is the leader of hong kong a lot and those police hold the gun show. tuus activists during the demonstration and define it as riots that's really terrible how can the leader off such a more than city apply what happened in 1809 off the can and square moscow allowing police hope gun shoot twist people and activists being sent to hospital that's really terrible people when it comes to the similarities between your movements and this movement one similarity that a lot of pro establishment people would make is that it doesn't work this kind of mass mobilization sitting around in the streets occupying the streets for days on end it didn't make a beijing move didn't change its position 5 years ago what makes you think it's
12:09 pm
going to work not n.t. china extradition most men c'est foti have certain achievement to force the leader the evil leader of hong kong sus banda proposal of course what we asked for is fully withdrawing but at least we did it 5 years ago became that we will be back and we achieved it and let the work you know that before the g 20 summit and during the chaos of the trade when he goes to asia and the leader of hong kong caroline already became the political burden of president xi jinping but carol i'm still issues not going to resign issues she keeps silence sense to me in stockholm people joined a demonstration she didn't hold any press conference yet i believe she should have certain response and and her political career just finally if she goes she's going to be replaced possibly by somebody who's even more prob aging no matter who is the chief executive of hong kong is absolutely a puppet of calmness we because all of them appointed by chinese government that's
12:10 pm
why 5 years ago since don bradman a free election we should disrupt the right to freely elected their leader off i was city that's a long time battle in the long run but in the short run it's a must for caroline to step down and to withdraw that evil law just go along thank you very much indeed for joining us here at the legislative council building we still seeing a fairly large. demonstration or possibly up to a couple of 1000 students the numbers fluctuate during the day at the moment they have moved around this complex outside the office of the chief executive demanding that she resigns we wait to see what the next step is on either side in this ongoing dispute or how it is for the moment rob we'll leave it there thanks very much pride in hong kong well staying on message of china's government firmly banksy extradition changes in hong kong and its foreign ministry has been reacting to the news that the bill's been shelved. to do that as to whether there are foreign
12:11 pm
interventions to what's happening in hong kong i believe we have seen a lot of facts in the past days ever since the hong kong government announced that it would make amendments to the extradition law and february many foreign governments and politicians have been making inflammatory statements on the issue let's get more on this from our china correspondent adrian brown who joins me from beijing and certainly beijing maintaining the sort of foreign interference line there adrian but they must be completely aware obviously of the level of anger in hong kong as to this particular law and whether the bill ever gets passed at all and how it affects them in beijing. yeah absolutely so i think that publicly china's leaders continue to offer support for hong kong's embattled leader carrie lamb but privately analysts are saying there are now grave doubts as to whether she will serve more than one term i think the leadership here in beijing has been left not just embarrassed but also angered by
12:12 pm
the fact that you know tear gas and rubber bullets were used by hong kong police last week in june of all months of course 30 years ago a student left led movement was was brutally crushed by soldiers here in tiananmen square and here we had you know another protest being suppressed on a chinese street i think you know from china's perspective the timing was just dreadful and then of course you know she jinping doesn't need another distraction right now he's preparing for possible talks with president donald trump on the sidelines of the g. 20 summit in osaka in a few weeks time and that's why i think you know carol lam has been told to ease up to be more tolerant for the police to to change their tactics and we've seen that happen you know in the past 24 hours and i think the reason for that so is that you know the chinese government doesn't want to give donald trump another stick with which to hit president xi jinping because at the moment the trumpet ministration is
12:13 pm
starting to draw a line between the protests in hong kong and the trade war between china and the united states so you know china i think is acting for its own reasons right now it wants stability in hong kong but it has other reasons for wanting that stability to last right now or for the moment ajor we'll leave it there thank you. if you brown that now the weather is next and then his wife is found guilty of misusing public funds israel's prime minister almost double trouble in the occupied golan heights. hello again it's good to have you back we are seeing plenty of rain here across parts of southern vietnam cambodia laos as well over the next few days and that's going to continue as we probably go into the weekend as well down here towards the
12:14 pm
south though we're going to be seeing some more clouds starting to edge in a cross central indonesia now plenty of sun has been the trend over the last few days but notice the forecast map as we go from tuesday into wednesday we do start to get more clouds in this area now we don't expect to see much in terms of rain there the rain though is going to be a big problem up here towards thailand now we've had this issue over the last few days heavy rain anywhere between $100.00 and some locations $140.00 millimeters of rain in a 24 hour period so that does mean some localized flooding there well here across sydney we saw some rain overnight and that was the highest rate we had seen in the last 30 days in terms of accumulation all due to the storm system right there it is now edging into the tasman sea so we are going to be picking up some better weather here as we go towards tuesday but we do have another front coming in off the by that's going to go across parts of melbourne bring some rain across the region as well as some windy conditions few there up here towards britain though on tuesday and into wednesday we're looking at

12:17 pm
again at. ports and i see a province for the 4th time in a week. is likely to target the the oil station the gas station the route fuels the. airplanes especially as the saudi arabia's authorities have now and still of the previous at the 3rd day that we have intercepted the messiah that was going to attack the gas station so far we can't give me more details about the what they have targeted in this time but the the how with the seems adamant continue their attacks on international airports in order to what they described to put more pressure on riyadh to left its ban on the sun our international airport which has been. such sage for nearly 3 years.
12:18 pm
civilians are not allowed to use this approach. they are only forced to use the faraway airports and say u.n. and aden which makes it difficult for patience also the attacks have become dangerous for civilians in saudi territories specially their. the whole these have announced that the will continue their attacks on their saudi international airports until they fulfill their demands the yemenis in general have also been suffering from the saudi arrest strikes on the yemeni territories so both civilians from both countries are now become under the risk of being attacked by these retaliatory operations from both sides hopefully that the the many who are saudi arabia will support the agreement
12:19 pm
which war which was signed in sweden last year. such a peace deal would can to contribute in achieving and realizing the comparisons of peace agreements especially when forcing both warring sides to return back to the negotiating table to resolve their differences peacefully. fighting between trouble groups the democratic republic of congo has killed at least 160 people over the past week nearly 40 villages were destroyed and more than 800000 people have been forced from their homes in the eastern province of a tutti al-jazeera has gained exclusive access to one of the villages that was attacked really mohammed as well. this is what's left of mark both village in bunia in the northeast of democratic republic of congo fighters attacked overnight looting and burning several houses at least 40 villages and more than $100.00 houses were destroyed in violence between the lendu and hemet tribes and the militias this week members of the hanna community say and then do assailants came

to their homes armed with machetes members of the lendu tribe and now occupy these villages community leaders say lendu rebels blocks roads as a way to control the area. be ready to live in peace without him and neighbors despite many youth in our community who have lost their minds and committed unfortunate actions we call on our youth to come back and live in peace with everyone and. the government is calling for calm. we are aware of the killings that have taken place against civilians in this area the only message for you as victims is that we must investigate and make sure those responsible will be punished the un peacekeepers and congolese armed forces have deployed teams to assess the situation they've also strengthened their presence in the area by setting up 3 temporary military bases but the congolese army has been unable to control the rebel groups its soldiers and police have been attacked some killed while trying to stop the
12:21 pm
tribal fighting some rebels also targeted a u.n. helicopter. the situation here is tense they have the community accuses the government of not protecting them they've been protesting against the violence calling for more to be done to stop the killings. the current situation is a responsibility of the national government it must deploy more troops on the ground to fight against the militias in order to stabilize the situation. the violence has forced thousands of people to flee their homes seeking refuge elsewhere on friday and saturday alone more than 6000 displaced people arrived at this camp in bunia many living in difficult conditions with the bare minimum. i wonder if we have an authority or president in this country even after the elections and the new president people are still dying like animals. and the 2 camps set up here are already at full capacity so we've been complaining to the
12:22 pm
authorities and part of the displaced people started arriving at this camp so we can organize how to assist them properly but nothing has happened now there are more people than the cup come hold and living conditions where people aren't. eatery is one of the largest provinces in democratic republic of congo it has large diamonds and gold reserves the fight for control of the area is fueling the violence and a longstanding dispute between the hammock cattle herders and lendu farmers tens of thousands of congolese have been killed in the cycle of reprisal attacks and camps like this are becoming a permanent home for many mohammed al jazeera. the growing security challenge in the gulf are causing concern at the power of french president manuel micros attending one of the industry's biggest events it will likely see more deals for us after boeing's troubles with its 737 crashed the plane was grounded after 2 fatal crashes within 5 months while boeing chief
12:23 pm
financial officer greg smith says they're doing all they can to ensure person just safety words simply cannot express the sorrow in the sympathy that we feel for the families and loved ones of those that were lost in these tragic accidents. these accidents him only intensify our efforts to ensure the highest level of safety in quality in everything we do. we're committed to learning from this and have teams working 24 hours 7 days a week to ensure that we're meeting the needs and priorities of our regulators and our customers around the globe well the talks about la jones is live from just northeast of course so we had that being executives talking but that obviously will be a lot of private conversations they need to have with potential customers all wanting reassurance about the product that they're trying to sell.
12:24 pm
indeed and they were for executives holding a press conference today you heard there from one of them but all 4 of them were at pains to say that they were apologetic about the fact that 346 people have died in 2 boeing 737 max crashes the ethiopian airlines crash earlier this year in march and then the law of the air accident in october they said their safety was a huge piracy for them but of course the max crisis is totally overshadowed this paris air show for the normally they would be at the paris air show which is this year's biggest aviation a vent talking and celebrating about their new planes talking about their successes but really the crisis over this plane has overshadowed everything especially as the 737 max has been grounded across the world ever since that ethiopian airlines accident also executives said that for them the priority was to try and get that plane flying again they will be talking to. executives they will be talking to
12:25 pm
customers they said their parties also to try and regain trust after what's happened but look that's going to be quite difficult because it's become clear during the investigations into these 2 claims that boeing knew that the plane had problems and they didn't act in the correct way even though they deny any form of misconduct now it all hinges of course on a particular piece of software that bone installed into the 737 it was meant to make the plane fly very much like the previous 737 model which would mean that pilots would need any costly new training to fly this plane they were trying to keep their costs down basically but of course when that software functioned the pilots who weren't informed about this software addition to the plane were unable to handle this not of course has been a huge scandal of the pilots a furious customers a furious the airline the airline owners of course a furious everyone wants to know when this plane is going to get off the ground again but will it be safe that is the question because of course boeing here really
12:26 pm
fighting for their reputation indeed. with the news as it comes with you from the board in the day. the court has ordered the wife of israel's prime minister to pay $15000.00 after she was found guilty of misusing state funds and on same day benjamin netanyahu was in the occupied golan heights to inaugurate a new israeli settlement it's been named trump pipes in honor of the u.s. president terry force it has more from west to islam. in the early evening sunshine the israeli prime minister and the u.s. ambassador unveiled what had hardly been a secret in golden font they you know be rated trump heights a planned new settlement in the occupied golan heights for now at least it's just a sign but for benjamin netanyahu an important symbol of golan the golan was and it will always be an integral part of our country the golan is an israeli it's important to stress this again and again we are not strangers in the go
12:27 pm
a long way ahead due to our national vote which have been deep here for thousands of years. it was a fank you to the u.s. president who to fishley recognized israel's claim on the golan heights seized from syria in 1967 and considered occupied territory under international law at the height of the israeli election campaign in late march america's ambassador to israel who sat in on the cabinet noted so far only one place in israel had been named after a sitting president the one who recognized the new jewish government in $148.00 president trump will be honored to be america that small cadre of heroes of israeli heroes of harry truman and battle trump i think they belong together and i think they or they will always be known as the 2 greatest presidents for the state of israel and i might be a little biased i would say i think mine is just a little bit better is really opposition parties are calling this event a publicist on saying netanyahu is interim government can't legally create the new
12:28 pm
settlement that will have to wait until after september's elections that unprecedented 2nd vote in a year follows netanyahu failure to form a coalition government last month and the likely impact of that election on donald trump's long delayed peace plan is now becoming clearer on sunday israel confirmed that it would be attending the u.s. led economic workshop in bahrain the trumps regional envoy jason green but also said that the release of the political part of the plan might well be affected by israel's election but netanyahu the election is bound up with his own legal fate he faces 3 pending charges for corruption failing to form a government has hurt his chances of passing immunity legislation ahead of his 1st indictment hearing in early october. on sunday his wife sarra was ordered to pay $15000.00 u.s. dollars after being convicted of benefiting from a mistake in a case involving the use of public money to purchase meals for her family she has
12:29 pm
learned to shoot taking public funding significant amounts throughout several years against the rules and struction zick criminal offense that carries conviction and concrete financial punishment but it's benjamin netanyahu own pending cases would resent by far the bigger threat to his position electioneering is under way and as of a netanyahu the stakes are high perry force at al-jazeera western. governments in 3 south american countries are trying to work out what caused a massive power failure tens of millions of people across argentina and uruguay and paraguayan were left without electricity argentina's power grid collapsed early on sunday by nightfall some areas in the capital were still in the dark with emergency crews helping to direct traffic trains water supplies and internet services were cut off. what we know is that at 7 o 7 in the morning local time a failure occurred in the coastal grid that failure is not abnormal or
