but i think it is a time in us. but sanctions are having a crippling effect because all the terms of use and a lot of the a lot of the. capital inflows of the north korea which i've been blocked is due to the u.s. efforts in making strong conditions of financial institutions and not doing business with with your so i think you know your progress with these cuts to ogle illian there and that's quite quickly go to north korea's ability to continue to resume trading with a lot of its which look. let's move on to other news now iran is one further reduce the commitments to the nuclear deal unless europe does more to protect the agreement foreign minister mohammad jalen survey forms the remaining 70 trains to shield around from u.s. sanctions and allow to sell its oil head on has already begun rolling back some commitments by breaking a lever to on and vetch to raney and agreed in the 2015 accord let's go to our

correspondent is joining us live from the iranian capital where the foreign minister is reiterating iran started this can't be a one way agreement. yes certainly lizbeth the foreign minister following the weekly cabinet meeting that was held in the capital this morning said that the e.u. signatories of the nuclear agreement are their actions are not proportionate to their expectations meaning that what they've been expecting from iran to do under this nuclear agreement iran has done but the european signatories have not upheld their on the deal and the iran officials believe that that is because the united states withdrew from this agreement last year and imposed a series of sanctions on iran's banking and oil sector which has also affected the european countries that were supposed to invest in iran's economy that was one of

the main points of this agreement that iran will freeze its nuclear activities to a certain extent and return it will get relief from a series of sanctions and investments will return to the country but none of that has happened than iran has decided. since may the year and the president announced that every 60 days iran will continue to scale back its commitments and the foreign minister today stress that that is indeed the plan they are going ahead with and the next phase which will be the 3rd phase of their scaling back their commitment will happen in early september also has to begin any progress given the number of calls between the iranians the europeans they've been meeting in vienna lately any progress on the sort of concrete measures that iran is asking for from the europeans. well the iranian president hassan rouhani spoke with his french counterpart emanuel on tuesday evening and during that conversation president rouhani stressed that iran is

expecting the europeans to uphold their in the deal and the 1st step is for iran to return the oil and banking sector of iran to return to normalize relations with the international community that is what iran expects immediately and the president also stressed that all these measures iran is taking in terms of scaling back its commitments under the nuclear agreement they will. restart to that as soon as the europeans uphold their in the real meaning once the european say that they are going to invest in iran and they will continue to purchase uranium oil which is under u.s. sanctions the iranians will go back to the standards under the nuclear agreement meaning they will go back to the 3.67 percent of enriching uranium they will only keep up to 300 kilograms of rich uranium and all these things the steps that they've taken so far are reversible immediately this is what the iranian president

stress and that is the feeling here that once the europeans really decide to stand up against the united states and their sanctions then the iranians are more than happy to go back to the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal thank you for breaking all of that down for. a lot of the thank you. to the us now where an ideological divide among democrats is being laid bed during the 2nd round of presidential debates for the potus nominee health care was a key issue with some heated exchanges between the parties progressive and more centrist candidates john hendren reports from detroit. in what purports to be the party of civility the contenders came out swinging you don't know the fact that they. wrote the day a bell. on issue number one publicly funded health care top polling elizabeth warren sought to put rival john delaney's struggling campaign on life support. why do we got to be the party of taking something away where the democrats

we're not about trying to take away health care from anyone that's what the republicans are. saying the republican talking points the revolutionaries of the democratic party warren and bernie sanders dominated the debate clock again and again warren went on the offensive you know i don't understand why anybody goes to all the trouble of running for president of the united states just to talk about what we really can't do and should fight for. this round of debates could dramatically narrow the field of candidates for some the race is over 5 candidates failed to qualify for this round of debates and of the 20 who remain less than half are expected to qualify for round 3 and for some who failed to breakthrough in detroit. are likely drying up the debates locale in the motor city was a reminder of the democrats' failure in 2016 their supposedly solidly democratic

star health and this man we're talking about was a resident of goma but was working in another area touring region a mining area need to the region which is one of the affected areas so he started feeling sick days after he arrived back in goma and tests were done on him 2 days ago and yesterday afternoon it was confirmed that indeed he has a dollar and now he is dead 2 people in goal man more than a 1000000 people live there very worried indeed i've also spoken to a wild health organization official who said that people should keep calm they say that they are prepared for this is then surely the of for a long time and that they are able to contain the situation these officials were telling me that they have set up hand washing point in different parts of the city the treatment centers are well equipped they have enough personnel so telling people of government to keep calm but also keep the jewel make sure that they use

the washing the washing areas make sure that the environment is clean that there is no unnecessary contact with each other but as you mentioned a lot of concern not just because of this stance but because of how strategic goal night is it's very easy to get to other parts of the country from goma it's also very easy to get to other countries as well elizabeth and it's a year tomorrow catherine since the outbreak was declared a reminder of just how hard it's being to contain it because of the very difficult conditions in this region in this part of the world some of which you mentioned. absolutely and i mean you mentioned in the introduction about the minister resigning there's a lot of politics that sleezy right now the minister resigned saying that you know this proposal to have a 2nd and full of a scene to be deployed to the country is not a good proposal because these folks in this still in an experimental faces so this

carbon electricity it's correct that since the fukushima accident it was important for the industry to look at why that reactor those 3 reactors have by accident and to take measures in order to make sure that doesn't happen again so of course we should look at the way in which current reactors are being operated to make sure they're safe and that has already been done but there is a need because the world's energy demand is increasing and electricity in particular that we are going to need a new electricity generation and because of the need for low carbon generation and a reliable form of generation new plan needs to be part of that mix i think people now are looking at what is.
