union countries are in brussels discussing ways to convince them to return to the negotiating table iran's decision to enrich uranium above limits in the 2050 nuclear deal is a concern. we are totally committed to keeping the middle east denuclearized if iran wants nuclear weapons and other countries in the region with a particular comes a very very toxic dangerous situation so we are looking find a way to preserve the nuclear deal which we think is the best way of keeping the middle east as a whole nuclear weapons free. iran is still a good year away from developing nuclear weapons we think there is still some closing thoughts mall window to keep the deal alive. iran has said it remains committed to the agreement so long as other parties also stay committed a statement from the foreign ministry says tehran expects europe to take the

necessary steps to fulfill the deal well dominic cain joins me now live from brussels where those discussions are taking place and they are indeed a very important discussions what can we expect tangibly from the meeting and when . well that's the question through animate many of the people reporting on this meetings because the basic reality here is that the europeans are the ones who want to keep this deal going so they are presenting the united front saying this is the only deal in town everybody needs to keep in observance of it and that they will do what they can to keep the iranians inside the deal as it can. as it's concerned but the point here is that the tangible measure they've already taken this year started in january this scheme called in stacks a scheme a financial scheme designed to help iran legally to circumvent that's to get around

the impact of economic sanctions imposed by the united states so the point here is that what more can they really do they can't physically drag the iranians and the united states representatives into the same room and make them negotiate with each other so it's more likely that we will find a form of words emerging from foreign ministers from the high representative on foreign affairs better to get more get any which says what it what it considers iran to be observing right now remember that they have breached the limits imposed by that deal they agreed for the enrichment of uranium and the level of of stock of enrich uranium that they hold one other thing to point out here we heard from the british foreign secretary jeremy hunt but his counterpart in france john you did the deal when he came into this morning's meetings for this morning's deliberations he said that there was bad as it were bad on both sides it was a bad decision he said for the iranians to breach the limits imposed on enrichment

of uranium but also a bad decision by the united states to pull out of this deal so you get a clear idea that the french and the british and the germans really trying to cleave to this deal they're trying to hold on to this deal as much as possible well we'll leave it there for the. events with you thanks very much will dorset. we've been hearing from the spokesman of the iran's atomic energy organization by who's come of andy who says that iran is prepared to go back to its prieto 1015 nuclear agreement activity levels when it comes to its nuclear program if the european signatories to this deal don't uphold their and the bargain now we've also been hearing from the iranian foreign minister mohammad javad zarif who is in new york at the moment he is due to meet the united nations secretary general antonio the terrorist during his 6 day visit to new york now the foreign minister has said that really iran is out of patience they want the europeans to stop issuing

statements and start upholding their end of the deal they want to see action words are no longer enough for the iranians we've also heard from iranian president hassan rouhani who said on sunday marking the 4 year anniversary of the signing of this nuclear agreement thanking the iranian foreign minister and his team who worked so diligently to bring this deal together which saw the abolishment of 6 united nations security council resolutions against iran and the iranian president said that the rain ians are meeting violations with violations and implementation with implementation and that the iranians will no longer say in this deal by themselves they need to see some concrete action from the remaining signatories of the nuclear deal. news coming into the role of the french foreign ministry says that iran has detained a friend iranian research of details are quite sketchy let's get the very latest with natasha buckley who's live for us in paris what more do we know about this

detention natasha. well the french foreign ministry has confirmed that. addle car was indeed arrested by iranian authorities more the french foreign ministry say is that they are in touch with iranian authorities to find out more to try and gather more information about this arrest about the condition of miss out all car and also trying to make sure that she has full access to consular services which it seems hasn't been the case so far but the details are still very sketchy all we do know is that it remains unclear exactly when she was arrested there are some reports suggesting that it was in june but i spoke a short while ago to a professional colleague of hers here in paris an iranian research or because at all carr was a researcher with paris's prestigious university apologist somebody who researched

iranian society and this colleague of hers said that in her educational circles that no one had heard of adult karr had any of her news i should say for at least 2 weeks so it does suggest that she was detained at least 2 weeks ago if not further back than that. of course monitor events with you as well. let's head to south africa now where the former south african president jacob zuma is making a defiant appearance before a public inquiry saying there's a conspiracy against him as he faces questions about government corruption during his time in office the commission is looking into allegations that he oversaw the mass looting of state funds most of the accusations are linked to his relationship with the wealthy gupta family they're accused of using their links with zuma to influence government policy and when lucrative business contracts the inquiry is all part of current presence around the poses pledged to clear out corruption he

replaced zuma last year when he was ousted from the ruling a.n.c. party so you are denies all the allegations against him. been a subject of. talk in this country for. more than dick. i've been vilified. cuban of. course about. how tossers our correspondent following events force in johannesburg already zuma has spoken and continues to speak he's coming out fighting. is putting up a fight is now time for the question and answer session lawyers are asking jacob zuma to elaborate more on some of the things he said earlier in the day he was 1st asked to speak more about this conspiracy theory he says is in place to try and get

rid of him zuma said that the conspiracy has been around from the 1990 s. he says intelligence groups one foreign and one local have been trying over the years to poison him to kill him and he alleges that all these corruption scandals that have been dogging him for all these years are part of this conspiracy theory to remove him earlier he was asked to explain his relationship with the gutters that while the indian family and he says 1st of all yes they are friends and members of his family do speak to the doctors but he says they have never broken any laws zuma said he's the one who suggested to the gupta's to start up a newspaper to start up a t.v. station again he stresses no laws were broken in the processes in terms of the business paperwork that had to be filed he denies allegations that the doctor family had an influential role in government policies and appoints ministers and he kept stressing the group has had been in south africa for years they were friends with the nelson mandela family friends with his family both former presidents as

well and he says why are they why are the family members not being brought to this commission as well to answer questions about their relationship with the group has to go on until friday but the commissioners have said that if they need to bring zuma back to answer more questions then they will do so well of course this has huge implications to whatever he says or does not say and whether the commission actually saying so there has been any wrongdoing and the implications of that. moving forward. when zuma started speaking earlier in the day he said that he has a list of officials he says are corrupt and he asked the commissioners to give him time to be able to approach these individuals as lawyers to post individuals to prepare them for that when their names do become released at this commission they have time to prepare and have they say in the commission he also of course the implication will be if he does name these people who are they on what are they

being accused of and what will be the way forward he was very angry very defiant iraq today had this warning he says people are all over provoking me over provoking me i've been quiet all this time all these allegations have been thrown at me he says he has intelligence and he's not afraid to use it as kind of a warning to people that if you come up to me i'll come up to you if that happens if this list is released and these names are revealed to the public people into there for the we'll get a feeling of who could have been involved in some of these corruption scandals that have dogged the country for many many years. in johannesburg thank you roger syndrome witness the close relationship between zuma and the group the brothers he's the author of indentured behind the scenes up to t.v. well they were very close relationship. they were released that was not just.
