or oppressed country we asked people to pakistan to be there is delivering on the reformist agenda. with the sport including a 1st charge murder trial period america jari would lead the way to gold you were started by 3 shots at all but. now iran's president says time is running out for europe to save the 2015 nuclear deal that's off to his country's atomic energy organization announced it would bring to raney and stockpile limits set under the agreement within 10 days the package was signed by iran the us the countdown has started in 10 days' time on june 27th we will exceed the 300 kilogram limit of been reached uranium allowed under the nuclear deal after dutch we will continue to increase the speed of production drastically. the pact was signed by iran the u.s. u.k.
4:02 pm
france china russia germany and the european union it gave sanctions relief in exchange for iran limiting its nuclear program and allowing inspectors in the agreement began to unravel last year when u.s. president donald trump pulled out and reimposed sanctions the european union has been trying to keep the deal alive by urging countries to continue trading with iran despite strong u.s. objections unsatisfied president hassan rouhani said a july 7th deadline for europe to do more to protect iran from u.s. actions if not he warns they take further steps away from the accord well let's speak now to join. our correspondent who joins us live now from tehran door so we've been hearing just the 2 dates mentioned how some 160 day deadline july 7th but now they're also saying they're potentially breach the deal on the 27th of this month. yes that's right the
4:03 pm
1st date that was set by the president is about the european countries really trying to. honor their end of the deal they say that you have until then this 60 days to really tell us what you're planning on doing whether or not you're going to stay within the sick remains or you're not because over the past year since the americans withdrew the europeans have done nothing on their end to keep this agreement going the iranians are saying when the time we've decided to actually keep all the uranium that we enrich and by the 27th of this month we will exceed the 300 kilograms that we've been allowed under this deal in the past what's happened is the excess uranium enriched would have been sold to other countries internationally that was part of the agreement as well but now the iranians are saying for this 60 day period we're going to keep everything in the country we're not going to sell it which means of course we're going to exceed the 300 kilograms so there's really
4:04 pm
a lot of detail involved in what's coming in the next few days and weeks but the iranians are saying despite everything our program will go forward and unless we see a change from the other signatories this deal is not really in our favor at the moment door so what we're terra need to see from the europeans concretely in order to stem this escalation of rhetoric and potentially uranium enrichment. well the president has said that what they really want to see is the return of business the european companies that were promised to come back to iran to conduct business in the various sectors the automotive industry the aviation industry all these various sectors they want the europeans to come back to iran and invest now the europeans are hesitant because of the u.s. sanctions not only did the united states withdraw from this historic agreement which the foreign minister said took 12 years of diplomacy and 2 years of
4:05 pm
negotiations the u.s. withdrew and then in november of last year they started imposing severe sanctions on iran so anybody trying to do any business with iran would have been punished by the americans and this is the main sticking point for the iranians are saying that america is blowing the international community they're preventing everybody from working with us and this is not something that we can tolerate and it threatens the security and stability of this entire region dosage of our correspondent there in tehran thank you. for now a well known member of hong kong's pro-democracy movement has been freed from prison long is now joining mass protests against a controversial extradition bill which the government has shelved demonstrators wanted dropped altogether sarika report. after 6 weeks in jail emerged to face the media the political activist served time for his role in the occupy protests in 2014 on hearing the news of sunday's mass rally in hong kong he
4:06 pm
had frank's praise for millions of hong kong people joined the demonstration and protests were in the hospital which is show the spirit and dignity of hong kong people. on sunday 2000000 people marched in the streets against a controversial extradition law the government plans to introduce in hong kong critics argue it would allow china to extradite political opponents and activists to the mine land to face trial the city's chief executive kerri lam has suspended debate on the legislation but that's not enough to calm the growing public opposition in hong kong what hong kong people are small is huge poggioli with draw extradition laws. and i hope people get aware that now there's a new white after that and umbrella movement. on arrival at the city's parliament joshua was received
4:07 pm
a hero's welcome. where hundreds of protesters continued to hold for each carried and has apologized to the people in the wake of sunday's protests but the organizers of the demonstration sorry i don't plan to give in just yet what we need is not a media talking we need action we really withdraw we need real apology. that is why i believe that until we see real apology will withdraw is done to protest will not. will not the extradition though my be suspended but kerry lamb has said no deadline for when the bike was in the city's parliament the next major rally in hong kong is on july 1st marking the handover of the former british territory to china and $997.00 these protesters will be using that gathering to keep the pressure on syria al-jazeera hong kong. well the chinese government has reiterated its support for hong kong leda the foreign ministry is again warning against what
4:08 pm
it calls foreign interference. pressure as to whether there are foreign 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 in february many foreign governments and politicians have been making inflammatory statements on the issue. correspondent adrian brown has more from beijing. well publicly china's leaders continue to offer support to carry hong kong's embattled leader but privately say some analysts are beginning to have serious doubts as to whether she should remain in office beyond one term these analysts also say that you know china's leaders have been left angry and also embarrassed not just by the fact that the police used tear gas and rubber bullets against student demonstrators in june of all months but also by the fact that more than $2000000.00 people took part in sunday's demonstration a reflection of just how people are feeling in hong kong right now and of course
4:09 pm
a lot of that anger is directed not just at the hong kong government but also at the central government there's no doubt the president xi jinping does not need another distraction right now especially as he's preparing for his meeting that's juda happen on the sidelines of the g. 20 summit in osaka with president donald trump and also chinese leaders now believe that the trumpet ministration is attempting to draw a line between the the hong kong protests and also the current trade dispute between china and the united states and president xi jinping does not want to give president from another stick with which to hit china which is why i say analysts he's been pushing for hong kong's leaders to show maximum tolerance in the face of protests the could yet continue and she's in pain is planning to visit north korea this week the 1st such trip by a chinese president and 14 years he accepted an invitation from north korea's leader kim jong il back in january denuclearization talks between kim and u.s.
4:10 pm
president donald trump have been stalled since their failed summit and 10 in february now young ones who say rebels say they have targeted a saudi airport with a drone for the 4th time since wednesday riyadh has not confirmed the attack on airport close to the yemeni border. well the who these have been escalating these kinds of attacks is the latest target it was hit several times this month injuring $26.00 people on may 26th the saudi military said they shot down a bomb laden drone deployed by the who sees that drone was targeting jews than airport the earlier targeted knowledge run airport also near the border with another explosive laden drone and last year saudi military say they intercepted 3 missiles over northeastern riyadh debris from the missiles landed on a residential area killing one person who the rebels say the attack was aimed at can khaled international airport. has more from santa. how things have once
4:11 pm
again at. ports and i see your province for the 4th time in a week. is likely to target the. oil station the gas station the roof ules of the. airplanes especially as the saudi arabia's authorities have now nst in the previous attack in the 3rd attack 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
4:12 pm
years. civilians are not allowed to use this approach. they are only forced to use the faraway airports and say you own and aden which makes it difficult for patients also the attacks have become dangerous for civilians in saudi territories personally that the the whole of these have announced that the will continue their attacks on their saudi international airports until the 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 which war which was signed in sri. last year the.
4:13 pm
peace deal would can to contribute and achieving and realizing the comprise of peace agreements especially when forcing both warring sides to return back to the negotiating table to resolve their differences peacefully while there's plenty more ahead. flying high rebbie at the paris air show one of the industry's biggest events. dying for a drink we travel tomorrow in india where residents are going to extreme lengths to find water. and then sportscaster things up at the copa america action from their fight back against paraguay coming up. now the founder and c.e.o. of chinese tech giant huawei is blaming the united states for
4:14 pm
a projected $30000000000.00 drop in revenue over the next 2 years and the panel how that huawei is headquarters said sales of its lots friends overseas have already dropped by 40 percent since january last month the u.s. banned american companies from selling technology to huawei accusing the company of stealing trade secrets and threatening cyber security. at the time we didn't think this matter would disrupt our business we did not anticipate it was going to be as severe as it has become we've done some preparation it's like a badly damaged airplane we've protected only the core elements like the fuel tank we didn't protect our parts. now aircraft safety trade wars and the growing security challenges in the gulf are causing concern at the paris air show french president emanuel macron is attending one of the industry's biggest events it will likely see more deals for us after boeing's troubles with its 737 max aircraft the plane was grounded of the 2 fatal crashes within 5 months boeing's chief financial
4:15 pm
officer greg smith says his company is doing all it can to ensure passenger safety words simply cannot express the sorow in the sympathy that we feel for the families and loved ones of those that were lost in these tragic accidents these accidents i'm 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. natasha butler has the latest from there just northeast of paris. well what we're seeing is boeing executives very much in damage control of the paris air show we heard from 4 boeing executives earlier all at pains to say how sorry they were over the 2 fatal 737 max crashes the lion
4:16 pm
in october and then the ethiopian airlines crash in march $346.00 people in total died now boeing said that of course safety is their priority at the paris air show it's one of the main aviation events of the year normally the u.s. plane maker would be here launching and celebrating some of its new planes talking about some successes but the mood is very different they are talking about trying to rebuild and regain trust they want the 737 max to be flying again but rebuilding not trust will be easy because it has become apparent in these investigations that boeing was aware that there were problems with the 737 max they didn't inform pilots about the new piece of software that they placed in the 737 max to make it fly very much lighter than usual 737 plane the reason they did that was so that pilots would have to retrain because retraining pilots is extremely expensive the
4:17 pm
problem is boeing didn't inform the pilots about this new software so that when there were problems in those 2 planes the pilots didn't have the tools or the capacity to overcome them so what we have here are the power searchers burned really battling for its reputation. let's speak to justin bronc who is a research fellow at the royal united services institute and joins us now live from london justin amid all the controversy around passenger jets the air show it is also a showcase for military aircraft and europe i believe has big plans for a new fighter jet. yes so there's sort of quite a high profile. program underway between france and germany which spain is potentially joining as well known as scaf in france and future combat system germany this is aiming to produce a replacement for germany's euro fights as spain's euro fights is france's rafal in the twenty's thirty's timeframe but there are some significant political obstacles
4:18 pm
to be overcome not to mention of course the technological bishan of what's being on bail but certainly interesting to see some of the shape some of the concepts being on bail today is this in your mind about flexing european muscle and showcasing technology or is this more about reducing reliance on allies especially in the context of it had a deteriorating transatlantic relations. so i think there are different motivations for different players for france there's never been much question about remaining as they would see it so for an independent as far as possible in the combat environment of course one of the legs of the nuclear deterrent is delivered so whatever replaces rafal will have to carry france nuclear deterrent and so you know retaining sovereign capability there is clearly something they're very keen to do for germany it's much more about industrial concerns maintaining jobs keeping us defense in space the sort of cutting edge of technology but there is absolutely
4:19 pm
a sense in germany in particular about. they don't want to be reliant on the united states they don't want to be seen to give in to what what is right widely perceived as bullying by president trump by the german public and by american fighter aircraft so the only alternative really when they have to replace their own is to look to european solution justin talk us through the plans for this combat system and what my said involved and what's new about it. so both sides are quite at pains to suggest that this is not just a new fighter aircraft per se it's intended to be a system of systems so there will be a piloted aircraft as part of that but it will also include one presumes you can among combat aerial vehicles potentially certainly new dispensable z. long range munitions perhaps new jamming techniques electronic warfare techniques so a system of systems designed to be able to put combat effects into heavily defended
4:20 pm
airspace so slightly more comprehensive approach than what's been done before and quite similar to what the u.k. is exploring under its own team tempest initiative just in bronco research fellow at the royal united services institute in london thanks for your insights on out is there. now the united states has issued a security alert that after recent bombings in saudi arabia the american consulate in jeddah sent out the warning after 2 cobb bombings on june 7th several people were injured and the advisory also adds to u.s. citizens to use extreme caution because of recent missile and drone attacks near the yemen border let's speak to bill nor he's a genest and middle east analyst who joins us now live from london they'll be talking about attacks that took place some 10 days ago but there was a very very little coverage of this in the saudi media and on social media what do you make of that. yes that's that's interesting
4:21 pm
a these sorts of attacks in the past the saudis have tended to cover up attacks by terrorist organizations is going back to the early to mid ninety's this attack i find it curious that there's been no discussion in social media now you can attribute part of that to people just being afraid to say anything that might. arise arouse the ardor of the authorities but there are other sources that moves the heat for example who have not discussed these car bombings it does raise in my mind the question of is this a piece of this information if so to what purpose if indeed it was simply intended to ratchet up pressure perhaps on the iranians props and. then why did the saudis not run up the flagpole they haven't done that on the other hand i think the saudis have a real issue in terms of security there who does have shown that they can hit cities they can hit the airports they've threatened to attack any airport in saudi arabia
4:22 pm
and indeed they did hit airport the claim with a cruise missile the saudis say it was a drone attack there are certainly concerns and i would think the saudi authorities are probs a little anxious about just how much information they may want to let out about how vulnerable they may be. to who he attacks i have to say at this stage i remain somewhat skeptical about the report i would like to have thought that there would have been some information surfacing as you say it's more than a week since these alleged a car bomb. occurred so i'm i'm kind of holding holding back on judge from this one and also doing that which is allegedly one of the most secure cities in saudi arabia and yet to come bombings could still take place is the overall security situation in saudi arabia deteriorating well i think the security situation in saudi arabia is deteriorating simply because of the threat that the who these poses
4:23 pm
with both drone attacks and with missile attacks there's also the possibility of isis diet attacks tax these have happened in the past jeddah in some ways as you say it's a very secure city but there have been attacks in the past by terrorist organizations associated with al qaida so again i think that people are a bit on edge as they are throughout the gulf because this is all in the context of the of the whole iran situation and there is a lot of information misinformation disinformation if you will flying around no one's quite sure where anything sits right now and this makes for a dangerous situation you have the hawks ratcheting up the pressure calling for some sort of military response against iran the assumption being a ron is responsible for the attack on the tankers the german foreign minister or said we haven't seen enough to make a definitive decision that iran was responsible so
4:24 pm
a lot of play right now and certainly there is potential for either an accident another incident or indeed mavericks on either side provoking something more serious below a journalist and middle east analyst speaking to us there from london always good to speak to you ben outta there. people in large parts of india are experiencing their worst drought in decades it's forcing many to leave their lands and shelter in relief camps as they wait for monsoon rains elizabeth purana reports from the hardest hit region of beers in the state of maharashtra in western india. they walk in the intense heat sometimes but kilometers in search of water getting down this path has been dangerous and all they found at the bottom of this well as a puddle of muddy water. we have no where in humans for water we keep getting it from whatever source is available. my daughter fell in belle when she went to fetch
4:25 pm
water a passer by rescued hole when she heard her scream. collects 5 parts of water that's about 100 liters a day for herself and her 4 children the government sends water tankers but says they come only every 4 or 5 days elsewhere and beat farmers have left their land and moved to nearby belief camps where the government provides fodder and water to keep their cattle alive through that i list members and i will decide that there is no water left in the area it used to rain by the 7th of june but there are still no signs of rains last year we had a drought situation this year is worse if it doesn't rain again this year we have to leave our village. now not cut them has already spent 4 months at this camp this is the worst drought in maharashtra in 47 years and that's as the country suffers its lowest rainfall before a monsoon season and more than 6 decades and that lack of rain along with the
4:26 pm
rising demand for water mismanaged resources and climate change are being blamed for this drought. and vajra mentalist than a shiver has been warning about india's water crisis for decades the water famine we are facing is a result. of about 30 years of ill advised by financial institutions and that ill advice on the one hand mind the ground water diverted river waters destroy the soil moisture but also is the single biggest reason for climate change prime minister there are more to his house on the water crisis and promise to pipe drinking water to every household by 2024 but for those who don't know how they'll survive if the monsoon rains don't come that is a very long way off elizabeth. and now it's time for the weather cabin tracking some severe storms across the u.s.
4:27 pm
we do know normally may is one of our most severe storms months but july as could be june has been quite active as well i want to show you what's been happening just in the last 2 days we've seen about 25 tornadoes here in 8 different states and a lot of those a lot of that severe storm activity has been going over the same areas causing another problem flooding and i'll get to that just a moment but take a look here at the video that has come in from indiana as the storms went through here we saw a couple tornadoes going through this region of course with tornadoes we see a lot of downed trees power outages as well as damage to buildings that's exactly what we saw here over the next few days the severe weather threat is going to continue across much of the area the storms are going to be passing from most of the central plains and into the ohio river valley as well as out here towards the east because the storms are going over the same area we now have $40000000.00 people that are at risk for flash flood watches right now across much of this area this is going to go over for the next 72 hours i want to show you particularly
4:28 pm
where we're going to see most of the heavy rain anywhere from philadelphia washington cincinnati all the way down here towards the south now $125.00 millimeters of rain doesn't sound like a lot but because the ground is already saturated it's not going to take very much rain at all to cause more flooding across much of the spirit of course we've been talking about a lot of flooding in this region because of the early melt in the region so we're going to be watching this very carefully over the next few days. among the stories still to come what's driving the violence in nigeria that's killed hundreds of people. nowhere to run they follow the plight of civilians living in syria's last rebel held strongholds and you're applying lay down an alley mock at the camp for america has the action in school. war torn city in iraq a magic documents the stories of the survivors recording their hopes and dreams for
4:29 pm
a peaceful future after american troops withdrawal. but the conflict is far from over. he turns the camera on himself when i saw take control and his family off forced to flee nowhere to hide a witness documentary on al-jazeera. they wanted to 3000000 homes with the weaponry that was 6000000000 and. there's no ending war because there's always a small cobbles to. really good most. in essence really united states have privatized the old public function more shadow on al-jazeera.
4:30 pm
hello again i'm just. a reminder of the news the. iranian atomic agency says the country will exceed its uranium stockpile limit set by the 2015 u.k. deal in 10 days iran stopped that hearing to some elements of the agreement after the u.s. withdrew last year. a face of hong kong as pro-democracy movement has been freed from jail joshua walking is now joining mass protests against proposed extradition changes that would allow people to be sent to mainland china to try. and the u.s. has issued a security alert after recent bombings in saudi arabia the american consulate in jeddah us and help the warning after 2 car bombings on june 7th several people were
4:31 pm
injured. well let's take a look more closely at how top story iran's uranium enrichment so he'll show is a policy fellow at the european leadership network that's a non-governmental organization that focuses on protecting the iran nuclear agreement he's in london say he'll do you think it's a huge setback today with iran's announcement that we've just had. a deathly think it is a setback i think that currently we are in a game of chutes and ladders or snakes and ladders on the military side we're on an escalation ladder which we don't seem to see any possibility of coming down from unless both the u.s. and iran start speaking and on the nuclear side it's a slippery slope iran is starting to blur the lines around their commitments and what they've announced that they're going to do is reversible isn't as egregious as some of the other things they could have done but it is still serious in the case
4:32 pm
it will be a violation of the way and make it more difficult for other participants to try to help iran economy get back on track well sail this is also clearly an attempt to ratchet up the pressure on the europeans what can they do to try to stop this. so what europe can do 1st and foremost is help of deescalation but secondly what they can also do is ensure that in stacks which is the european special purpose vehicle that is meant to at least get humanitarian goods on the ground in iran is operational by the original deadline that iran set which is july 8th so we're hoping that you know the final consultations are occurring and that it will be operational but it is realistically where most of the political will power is at the moment on the j c p o a and we hope that the 1st transaction can occur rather quickly overall they can also help in terms of their civil nuclear nuclear
4:33 pm
cooperation and ensure that iran is able to continue to preserve the peaceful nature of its program in the days ahead so you know what you were just describing there is essentially a financial mechanism to try to get around u.s. sanctions the europeans are trying to set up how is all of this affected transatlantic relationships so it's made it difficult for trans-atlantic relations because in the u.s. the mechanism is seen as sanctions busting were saying sions circumventing but in reality europe has been clear from the beginning that the scope of the goods and services that will be traded through the mechanism are non sanctionable they are humanitarian in nature and if the u.s. administration namely president trump who says he stands with the iranian people actually means what he says and then the u.s. would not try to through the back door through the front door try to target this mechanism because a lot of people are suffering due to u.s.
4:34 pm
secondary sanctions which shouldn't have been reimposed in the 1st place because iran continues to abide by the j. c.p.o. way and sale we've also seen heightened tensions in the region even just in the last few days especially between the u.s. and iran do you consider today's announcement and now that potential escalation. i think that the 2 need to be separated so what is happening in the region can be attributed to a number of actors whereas the situation with the way is very much between the u.s. and iran so you know within the gulf of oman what we saw was a result was the fact that accusations have been made with a clear set of fox there is no way to technically at this moment know exactly what has occurred but on the way side the moves are very calibrated and they're announced they're pre-announced and we know exactly what the strategy is which is an incremental increase in pressure so that other countries not just europe but
4:35 pm
also russia and china help help iran argue to their domestic audience that they should still abide by these nuclear constraints so it's an escalation but it is not as big of an escalation if it is in fact true that iran was responsible for the tanker incidents late last week. that policy fellow at the european leadership network thanks you insights on al-jazeera. now at least 30 people have been killed in an attack in northeastern nigeria 2 suicide bomber set off a device that left dozens of others injured in the can do to area correspondent interests as well from nigeria's capital a breach of. the attack happened when a group of young men gathered around television sets watching a football match then 2 suicide bombers a male and female detainees at their devices killing instantly at least 20 people
4:36 pm
now the death toll has mounted overnight and at least 17 other people big confront to be injured in that attack and many medical workers believe that the figure could rise because of severity of the injuries none of the book are on factions of sulfite blamed responsibility but a lot of people including security experts believe that the attack was carried out by the shekel faction the long term leader of boko haram who took over when its founder mohammad yousuf was killed by the security forces in 2009 the group the book fraction. is known to have targeted civilians kidnapping a lot of people including schoolgirls as well as individuals in the northeast and in particular targets civilian population those it considered mostly as an enemy and as an enemy in its fight against the nigerian state the international the islamic state in west africa probably its ally groups actually operate in the other side of border and stood out though they've been known to of made some incursions
