and then this way it's syria and yemen as many other places i think in hong kong we have no good knockers but then we go and must know safety and the other know that we can't you know it's much more than some democratic and that's the irony and of course we want people obviously but we want your. lifestyle so i want to. get people not to be this a no show don't resort to violence because then you will act like a crackdown. if not well we hope thank you we're not cracked down on. to other news now in iran's foreign minister has suggested that teheran has now exceeded the threshold for enriched uranium stockpiles that the limits set by the 2015 nuclear deal the semi official news agency is reporting iran's atomic energy

organization will issue a report about the stockpile soon the united nations nuclear watchdog says it's inspectors in iran are trying to verify the claim and report back iran is again accusing european powers of not doing enough to help save the nuclear deal after the u.s. returned from it and then put subsequent sanctions on the same bus arrives with us from teheran maybe you can just explain the nuances of this news to us 1st say. absolutely come all this is a very significant period this is a very fragile time for the joint comprehensive plan of action also known as the 2050 nuclear deal so every sort of birth in google we here in terms of of these news events every sort of item that comes up is a significant moment now in terms of this exceeding of the stockpile limit here in teheran here's what we know so far local reports as you said have been saying that iran has now exceeded that stockpile limit about an hour. so we'll go foreign

minister zarif made comments when asked about this to reporters saying that as far as he is aware that iran has exceeded the 300 kilogram stockpile limit for low enriched uranium now we have seen this coming it has to be said iran in may the president hassan rouhani said that because of the fact that the other countries that signed on to the way iran says that they are not committed to the deal they are not implementing their side of the bargain the united states unilaterally pulled out of the deal and implemented what iran says are draconian sanctions on the country president hassan rouhani said that iran would begin a reduction of cooperation with certain parts of the deal and once this limit is breached that will be a significant beginning of that reduction that will be the 1st time we see something we can point to and say that is a clear reduction of cooperation with the 2015 nuclear deal now that's what we know so far here's the why the joint comprehensive plan of action placed on iran limits

to how much nuclear material it could keep in the country when it comes to heavy water that was $130.00 tons when it comes to low enriched uranium at a purity of 3.67 percent that was this 300 kilogram mark now u.s. sanctions that were placed on iran around the same time in november last year that oil sanctions went into full effect it has to be said these nuclear sanctions did not get the same amount of coverage but the united states government president donald trump placed additional nuclear sanctions that target specifically the framework of the 2050 nuclear deal under the deal the united states or i'm sorry iran would have to export or sell its nuclear material over the accepted limits now these sanctions made it impossible for iran to get that nuclear material out of the country the decision that iran has made instead of compromising its deal and not producing any more than 300 kilograms it is decided to try and reach that limit iranian government officials know what this is they are aware that this is a kind of. forced stress test of the joint comprehensive plan of action but the

reason they say that they are doing this is to take back some terrain they feel that they've been very patient for many years and they feel that while they've been implementing their side of the bargain the j.c. people way other countries have either been unwilling as in the case with the united states or an able isn't the case with your ok thank you for all that background information that same bus arrive in teheran while zane's been speaking the reuters news agency has. well it's obtained a report from the i.a.e.a. the international atomic energy agency which does say iran's stock of low enriched uranium has exceeded the maximum allowed by its nuclear deal with world powers i'm just trying to have a look at some of the details on this. tell you what we'll do in the meantime we'll talk to robert kelly who is with us a distinguished fellow with sipri the stockholm international peace research institute a former official as well at the i.a.e.a.

is on skype from vienna thank you for your time sir in basic terms does this situation breach the j. c.p.o. way or is it as as zain was just describing to us almost a stress test situation pushing the envelope under the circumstances of the u.s. pulling out and the increased sanctions. i like the his characterization over there there's a stress test clearly if one rates a limit the 300 kilogram one of the not my very much at this point but it's a violation it's a worry over iran saying to the united states you can't tell us we can't make this material and we can't sell it they are allowed to make the material that's in the jury superior way they would reach the limit but each time they have in the past they sold it now the u.s. has blocked their markets so it's not at all a surprise that they're they're pushing back just a little bit it's the same as they're not really able to sell the oil because the u.s.

has destroyed their markets not because they can't make war but how does that help iran's position because they have been asking other european nations for help hiya the european nations which have stayed in the j.c. peo way and now by doing this it appears to breach the j c p o itself so it doesn't paint itself in the greatest slight. well i'm not a refund so i can't can't tell you why it is they decided to do this at this point i can certainly understand their position they're saying you were. stopping us in 2 directions you're saying we can make the material we can stockpile it we can't solve in the past we sold it so we are completely in it within the bounds that to me says that this is. just a way of pushing back i think it's very significant to do that you have just reported that the i.a.e.a. knew that they they exceed the limit this is been predicted for a couple of months but the i.e.e.e. isn't backing them every single day so as they have exceeded the limit the i.a.e.a.

is able to see it on the same day it happened so this is not easter teach advanced this is not a step toward a bomb this is just simply. a producing some low level material it could be used for nuclear fuel and as you say pushing back on one united states even so it will be seized upon wanted by those that i guess on mostly or for into the united states here who remove themselves in the j.c.b. away from the iran nuclear deal that will be seized upon as well look iran's doing exactly what we said they are. absolutely the us that he's going to be the way it's going to be seen by a lot of people but at the same time you can say it's the united states withdrew from the deal 1st and the united states is what caused this crisis what i see in this particular case is that the european powers could easily say to around the u.s. is no longer part of this deal let's negotiate this 300 kilogram limit make it $400.00 that would be

a way for the european and russian china powers to say to the united states since you're not part of the only more we can deal with the details of it as we see robert kelly i'm glad we could talk to you today about this developing story and get your expertise thank you for your time you're welcome. here's what else is coming up on this news we're looking at why leaders of the european union have to work through the night for little results. and in sport counts to some that should be turning her back on the world championships and he has the details in sport a little later. right now though a gun battle between security forces and taliban fighters in the afghan capital has ended the shoot out which followed a huge explosion killed at least 16 people and injured over $100.00 in kabul that smoke billowing from an area near to the u.s. embassy in the afghan capital more details now with a question laurie it was

a huge explosion this morning here in kabul where that attackers were managed to explode one of the logistic department of the afghan ministry of defense which is outside of the ministries building there managed to get to that point and they exploded a truck full of explosives the rest of that there because they managed to go on the rooftops of the nearby buildings where they can take the position to interrupt the security forces the mischief indeed it also told us that. special forces arrived at the at the scene cordon down the area and they took the positions against these these attackers it is really here here and that's the question before the to the people of afghanistan here not only here in kabul but also other provinces that taliban limiting their attacks says this attacks are also claimed by the taliban and they said that to reclaim the responsibility for this attack. turkey's

government has announced that 6 of its citizens held hostage in libya have now been released earlier ancora warned of serious consequences for the warlord khalifa haftar whose forces were holding them up as eastern administration cut all ties with turkey on friday is accused of supporting the rival u.n. recognized government in tripoli and is now saying it will step up its air offensive on the capital. mahmud is in tripoli and we will be with him in a moment i want to start though with cynical so are you reporting from istanbul cinema what more can you tell us about the hostages have been released. so sists of the years has been a crisis for turkey turkey citizens being held by general have terrorists army in libya and today they were released after some backdoor diplomacy as far as we know as far as what turkish foreign ministry has stated those 6 turkish citizens

who are actually the sale sailors the ship men who worked in the ship all by libyan citizen so finally they were freed today after some talks and those 26 men are not coming back to turkey but they will be keeping up there working there they will keep up working in the as far as we are told before when they are when an eastern libyan no authority may need help there is side. sees those turkish citizens they claim that they were military personnel however turkish defense ministry it is sad that those are those 6 people have no or no links with the turkish military and it turned out that they were they were just simple sailors. the tension has been high for the last couple of days especially after half their side threatening to a key turkish officials had some strong remarks turkish defense minister threatened with a military action in libya finally this dozens are safe and sound but they will be

is still in libya continue their work thank you cynical sewall you. know to market up the word in tripoli can you up just from the other side is the reaction from a highly faster in his forces. well following the release of the nationals are forces loyal to the warlord have to start to. another new offensive namely air strikes in tripoli as the commander of have to force announces a new offensive to it didn't do intensive fly. in tripoli and also calling on residential residents to stay away from military camps and military units last night there was a big explosion in their neighborhood in southern tripoli that's where the hit

a building no casualties have been reported but i witness and military individuals say that the explosion was huge and it seems that they suggest that it's a foreign fighter jet we know that have that has been supported by egyptian in. the jets since he launched his military campaign to take control of the capital but meanwhile the sponsor of have to his forces releasing the turks after that. foreign ministry and the ministry of defense threatened to attack have to if they do not release the turks. that have to the forces do not want any confrontation with turkey especially after the last. one of that again when the government forces took control of. help by the coverage from the drones we know that

have to have those warplanes targeting them a dig a yesterday they say that they targeted a turkish drawing that was near the runway but i thought it is in a made to get airport deny that categorically and say that there was through an open area near the runway. thank you for that update. in tripoli and now to analyze all of this know who is the senior analyst for middle east and north africa . market he's on skype from rome nice to have you with us it strikes me that the hostage situation was a very acute moment there and now it seems some have been released but only yesterday we were reporting how turkish interests were possibly going to be targeted things like. aline's shipping this is still a very real threat. well i think that. that. can be true a different angle to them and i think it was also an attempt by yellin

a. flecked that we get their attention from this aggression and. from the strategic blow that they suffered. it is also true that over the last 3 days ph interest even in the east been targeted but yet and they and speaking especially about restaurants and different properties in the east on by libyan people. with some takesh element. there is an element also of these increasing toxic war in the country that is pushing off to troubling trees of trash just on the package side but also trying to convince probably country u.a.e. trained trees they support us. and we should just point out the other night the

libyan national army which are the forces of. it is this in your opinion now turning into more and more of a regional conflict and more of supporting players you know we can talk about the the 2 governments but increasingly i find we're talking more about those other countries which support the 2 governments. i think that this is the action unfortunately of the libyan conflict and has been clear from the very beginning does live on these new level of confrontation between the national army and the government the national accord was different from the past but it's enough. she cannot roll into eastern libya otherwise the credibility of. the russian with the so i think that this is probably just an indication of increasing access not suitable for the right of governance in the which means that basically the bank for

a political settlement in the country is even far away from running was from the be very beginning. ludovico color you know talking libya and regional implications with us on the news i think you time. think you were talking weather now with kevin and that looks like a nice enough to face the work oh yeah we do have a storm there too but if you have seen the images that have come on the internet we have seen some. video going viral and pictures going viral from guadalajara i want to show you what has come out some thunderstorms push through that area and you can see here how they develop right there and then push down towards itself but this is what it did in guadalajara we saw widespread hail actually building up across the city know what happened is the health fell melted cause streams of water the rest of the hail fell on that and actually pushed just as it was a flood situation so this is the situation they're dealing with right now of course

it is very warm there we're talking about temperatures into the mid twenty's high twenty's it's going to melt this happened yesterday so not really a problem but there was significant hail mostly the size of peas across that area not causing too much in damage but of course as it went into those buildings and homes of course a lot of flooding situation there and also want to show you what's been happening here across parts of united states particularly over across the way over to cross the east scuse me in new york notice that line of thunderstorms going through new york city well those thunderstorms were deadly we did have widespread power outages as they push through much better weather there but we are talking about a lot of heat across much of the united states right now it is halfway through the year and we're talking about temperatures into the thirty's but look how far north those temperatures go we're talking into ontario and parts of quebec temperatures are into the thirty's as well well thank you for that kevin still ahead for you on the news on. in the italian island. people are still

risking their lives to make dangerous crossing despite the fact that the taliban government has insisted it's blocked such a right. and in sport. on one side and in the bushes there is a spying scandal brewing at the women's world cup family we'll have those details a little later. in. the pages of this exercise book cold unspeakable mannerly compiled testimonies of victims of congolese mercenaries as this intimate evidence finds its way to international courts the central african republic is plunged into further. and intricate tanev of people and a nation crippled by recent history. afrikaans part 2 of a 2 part series on al-jazeera.

occupied the streets this happening on the 22nd anniversary of hong kong's handover some person. to china. developing news out of iran where the foreign minister has suggested teheran has exceeded the threshold for enriched uranium stockpiles set under the 2015 nuclear deal semi official news agency was reporting that iran's atomic energy organization will issue a report about the stockpile and that has been confirmed by the i.a.e.a. the international atomic energy agency. and a gun battle between security forces and taliban fighters in the afghan capital has ended with the attack of being kills a shootout followed a huge explosion that killed 16 people and injured over 100 smoke seen billowing from an area near the u.s. embassy in kabul. let's look at sudan at least 10 people killed there during protests which began on sunday they are of course demanding

a civilian led government but were met with gunfire and tear gas as mohammed now reports. the message remains the same as it has for months demanding sudan's military rulers hand over power to a civilian government. tens of thousands of protesters marched towards the presidential palace in khartoum opposition leaders calls for similar mass demonstrations nationwide dubbed the 1000000 strong much of the action but we don't want to feel like we stopped we want people to feel like we will continue continue no matter what everyone is out so we encourage each other. in some cases police fired tear gas at protesters the rapid support forces patrolled the streets with machine guns they were accused of the crackdown at a sit in at army headquarters in khartoum on june around $100.00 protesters were killed. in the eastern town of gunfire was heard the military gentil says it's

not to blame for recent violence. it was only a much less you know. the military is here to protect protesters but we can't do anything when it comes to food 3 to 5 or 6 people have been hit and we need to go there to sort out the problem you have to know that there are infiltrators people who want to change the current situation but god willing if we reach an agreement and if you understand the situation we will get rid of the snipers who are killing the people right now. sunday's mass marches with the 1st since the killings in khartoum 4 weeks ago and internet and media blackout has been enforced since then the protests coincide with the end of the african union deadline for the ruling military junta to hand over power to a you and have led mediation efforts to find a political solution the opposition has accepted a plan to form a transitional government for the next 3 years the transitional military council says it's willing to negotiate. sunday was also the 30th anniversary of the

military coup led by omar al bashir sudan's president was overthrown by another military coup in april and is in prison charged with corruption activists in arab countries to stop supporting sudan's military rulers they will never want to lower not because they are nice but also because they're going to be implicated if they are out of war so that's very normal very natural what we offer them so unless we. buy that mean i'm speaking about saudi arabia the u.a.e. then it's going to be really hard for me. to succumb or be able to and i think this is changing now. the protesters say their chance of defiance will continue despite threats to their lives until their demands for civilian rule are met for hillah mohammed al jazeera. the rising cost of living is putting the squeeze on people who've chosen to take refuge in ethiopia. as the support which

one certainly is refugee in addis ababa trying to make ends meet. thousands of sudanese refugees call if you open your home jeev hussein is afraid there may be more like him here in the days to come i expect that. there will be in water for you do today. today increasing all of the violence that is happening in khartoum capital people in one of 3 things peaceful demonstration but there's still been a package by the. military. says he was forced out of sudan in 2011 long before the recent political crisis that saw the sudanese military depose longtime leader omar al bashir. lived in a border camp in ethiopia before moving to the capital 5 years ago. before. losing he's a trained teacher and counselor and teaches english to other refugees he speaks 4

languages. because i'm like you. i got you from. different nationalities like to speak english so i can help them in order to perform or communicate because. they are moving a new way. he earns $142.00 a month half of that is spent on housing at is an ever expanding capital city as more people move here for opportunity space gets limited taller buildings are built and the price of living goes up if paychecks don't go up to you could be forced to move to the outskirts of the city finding an affordable place to live here can be incredibly difficult. because it and many of the students he teaches live so far outside the city they rely on an aid agency for financial support i saw him speaking good english then i myself i selected important job is to teach english in

this program. stays busy he says he needs to keep his mind away from the problems back home while still processing the trauma he's experienced he says he lets himself cry for one hour a week you know i never wish for the new people to be there for you to be able. it's difficult if you don't get the chance maybe you and where you are. a jeeves rent has already doubled since he moved to atus later this afternoon he has a meeting with his landlord he's afraid the rent will go up again when we ask where he wants to live he simply says anywhere with peace harding al-jazeera. want to take you back to the situation in hong kong remember we were talking to a correspondent about it earlier way with seeing these shots the outside of the legislative council the people going in and out pouncing in their own passing in

which bits of furniture and packages where we've got the pictures from inside now as well a fairly chaotic shot coming in from the news agencies but we might get a look over these sort of mezzanine balcony at some point where you see the number of people who have come in another umbrella there a symbol of the pro-democracy movement in hong kong over the years which is getting a little dark down here as they go down the corridor it is 20 to 10 in the evening at the moment in hong kong and there are certainly hundreds of people inside by now and then still many outside wearing the yellow hard hats as well it's quite an extraordinary same i'm going to talk more about it with andrew thomas andrew you were as i said. this in real time earlier it seems to only be escalating.

that's like a mile when we spoke about half an hour ago protesters had got a few of them into the lobby area of the legislative council building but what has happened in. that much more extreme hundreds now of protesters have got inside that building behind me and they're not just go inside the lobby but they go right from the building we've actually been seeing them waving torches from little windows and we've seen videos from inside of them on the escalates as well every time they've wiped these torches from the crowd out here has given a big big cheer it's very confusing though as to what has happened to the riot police who were inside that building i saw them on the much of the day while the protesters were smashing the windows and then placing umbrellas in the holes to suggest that they weren't actually going to go in they just wanted to make a point the road. i place on the other side of the glass was standing there looking tough looking as if the would be a former treasury if they came in the right place as far as we can now see and we

just had somebody go a couple of 100 meters there of the building to check immediately exactly what is happening as far as we can see the right way seemed to disappear from inside the building what's happened to them they gone right into the core of the building are they as some protestors here are speculating going to essentially now shut off the way the protest building and wrap those who've gone inside it's only very very young clear but what it feels as though at the moment is that neither side wants to come in. just for a cessation and so hall sorry because we're looking at pictures from inside the main chamber and this is extraordinary there's actually looks like graffiti on the benches of the legislative chamber and just top of your screen there little bit obscured now here it comes into focus now the symbol of hong kong the red and white flower has been defaced with perhaps black spray paint or something to that effect and then you see again graffiti on the walls absolutely extraordinary pictures

coming out of the main chamber in the legislative council to bears that logo that is the symbol of hong kong it's been blacked out and i mean if i'm sorry to have interrupted you there but you know when you talk about escalation i don't think any of it and there's really predicted this yeah. you know and this is all about symbolism that building has no legislators in that they're not debating this piece of legislation it has been put on the shelf for the long term carol and the chief executive here has made that clear they want it taken off the table entirely and then they want other demands as well about a police investigation into placing on the resignation of the chief executive but what is happening right here and right now it's not about stopping at the bite that's currently underway but it's all about symbolism it's about showing. that these protesters can get their seen and claim what is the closest the hong kong has to a parliament the people's place they want to show that it's not the legislators that

will decide hong kong speak just it's the people here and they really want to make that letter loud and clear they want to send that message because more and more of the protesters i've spoken to here say the extradition proposals that they've been protesting about and the march that had hundreds of thousands of people on it earlier on monday was all about that is a start but they don't see that as the finish they want more they want more democracy to hong kong and they want to make it clear that anything that ever so why it that they're going to protest it andrew stay with me i want to pause again and have a look through the pictures again we have got several feeds coming in and pictures that have been recorded earlier of the shot from outside the legislative council and what i was talking about before all that. all those things is all i can really say being brought up there it's almost like building up a barricade outside you can see where people have been going in and out with the glass was smashed earlier they've now not only gotten into the building they're in here they're in the chamber they've deface the symbol of hong kong and the red and

white flower you see at the top of your shop there there is graffiti on the wall that's. what started as a movement of protest movement against an extradition bill some weeks ago months ago even now has escalated has turned into this in one of our guests earlier was saying she was worried she was saying to people calm down make sure it doesn't get out of hand because remember the freedoms that we do have in hong kong well this has been quite an escalation here as this chart shows you from inside and look at that the old flag of hong kong that is the old flag of hong kong from under british rule pre $997.00 it's been un furled and put on the podium in the latest the chamber below the defaced symbol of hong kong right now and i'm not sure if you can see any of these pictures if you've got any access to them but .
