5:04 pm
you're seeing is protesters are spreading out across the capital and creating many protests a campaign of civil disobedience if you will writing tires on fire at major intersections erecting barricades of their own refusing to allow drivers to come and. no as they please it was an awful nightmare getting here to talk where we had quite a fight in addition to talk talk to get into the square in front of you say they're doing that because they want other iraqis who are not from here to where you join a bit don't go to work and indeed it's been for much exceptional because various government offices and businesses for her in addition to those schools are closed in the capital and in several provinces as were the court in baghdad attorneys of young teachers are on strike the foreign minister's office is threatening to take our action against the teacher's union but an attorney we spoke to here says that simply not legal but you are seeing here in time where it's because the schools are
5:05 pm
closed there are a lot of students here and they are actually taking over this kind of feeling underneath however we are and transforming it into a giant mural of protest art conscious thanks very much. iran's advance is taking another step away from the 2050 nuclear deal the head of the atomic energy organization says tehran is now operating 60 advanced centrifuges that's double the amount previously known they're also says is working on a prototype centrifuge that's 50 times faster than those allowed by the 2015 if your agreement we have continue to are trying to reverse such steps without delay and to refrain from any further measures that would undermine the nuclear deal you know that we as the european union remain committed to the implementation of the chase c.p.o. way because it's a matter of respecting international agreement it's a matter of our security but we have also been consistent in saying that commitment
5:06 pm
that our commitment to the nuclear deal depends on the full compliance by. our correspondent also jabari joins us live now from tehran also what's the latest on the announcement. well the head of iran's atomic energy organization ali a parcel he was at the units herm's nuclear reactor earlier on monday where he's announced that iran is now producing 5000 grams of enrich uranium per day that's up 10 times from 2 months ago when it was producing about 450 grams of in which a rainy day he was very proud of this fact he said that this is all to due to the hard work and efforts of the members of the country's atomic energy organization let's hear some more of what he had to say. zines you do see toyota we want supposed to have 30 change since refuses to work on it after we tested 20
5:07 pm
chinese centrifuges then 3 to 4 years later to work on the 30 chain centrifuges but we faced political challenges and senior authorities decided to show iran's potential power and determination so do also witness this leave the original deal. well it's very much in doubt that this seal even exists anymore practices hasn't been implemented because the iranians say the united states withdrew from this deal last year and impose a series of sanctions on iran and since then they remaining european signatories of this deal have not fulfilled their end of the bargain so iran feels that it's taking these measures because the signatories the remaining signatories have been upheld there and that the deal they say that all these steps are taking in reducing their commitment to the j c p a way are all reversible as soon as the european countries come back to this deal in terms of for filling their end of the bargain iran was supposed to slow down its
5:08 pm
nuclear program in exchange for a series of sanctions relief but since the united states left this deal believe that the europeans are not up to standing up to the united states and the pressure that's come from the u.s. government on trying to prevent any of those countries trying to business with iran so for the time being iran says they will continue to move forward with their nuclear program until they see some tangible results from this nuclear agreement also thanks very much. millions of people in the indian capital delhi having to find alternative ways to get to work on monday the number of private vehicles allowed on new delhi roads has been high in an attempt to clear a toxic smoke that's choking the city pollution levels are so high that the schools the shot flights are being canceled and the public a merchant season will soon be depleted experts say the new delhi is similar to smoking up to 50 cigarettes a day out of a cubit job that of the wide why there is smoke everywhere and people including

5:11 pm
we might get a green light for these parliamentary consultations. not yet peter there is no indication if and when the president is going to call for those binding parliamentary consultations in order to choose a new prime minister but we understand. the ministers to the different political parties in power there is back door trading really trying to figure out how they're going to divide shares amongst themselves they are already planning that the next government in one way or another will have political appointees and that prime minister who resigned last week he will return to office and maybe a few technocratic government. he's the streets but the outside from the street is very loud and very clear as you can see behind me we are on the main highway that links the lebanese capital beirut with south lebanon it's blocked protesters remain on the streets you mentioned day 19 people here are uncompromising this protest
5:12 pm
movement hasn't fizzled out yes in some areas the security forces moved in and cleared prose and i have to also mention in other areas protesters themselves left the streets because they feel that they are losing support among the population at the very fact that they have disrupted daily life has really caused a lot of anger in lebanon people who want to reach work people really rely on to wages i can tell you for example 4 kilometers down this road we saw supporters of the government directing traffic towards the old road along the coast and they were chanting slogans against the revolution and saying those people they're just disrupting our lives they can't open and they can't block roads so there's tension in the streets so but at the end of the day these people are uncompromising but so is the political elite of the kind of secure in the knowledge that really when it comes to those people who are pro the government those people you're talking about
5:13 pm
coastal road there's only so far they can go. well yes but we said this from day one as many people there are on the streets as many people who support the revolution there are people who continue to support the mainly sectarian political parties in power they benefit from them i can tell you approximately 400000 people this is a country of 4000000 people who are 100000 people are employed in the public sector el al is whose goal and said welcome to go. so far 100000 people are employed in the public sector and those people get their jobs from politicians who are in power so in many ways they get they get crew villages by criminals by allying themselves with those political parties and also there is the ideological factor some lebanese continue to support those who carry on parties they believe that they protect their that their rights so there is
5:14 pm
a serious divide in the streets and this is what is dangerous because many many people fear that is security is at risk if this political crisis is not resolved any time soon dana thanks very much. still to come for you here on how to 0 opposition leaders in pakistan play up the next softer deadline for the prime minister and prime card to step aside has come and gone. and look at how rising inflation and corruption health care is a luxury of the few can afford in zimbabwe. i know that we have got pretty good case guys across the eastern sections of china it's to the south of us a lot of this cloud and also a fair amount of rain coming with it watching a possible disturbance just the west of the philippines so this is where we're going to see the heavy rain as we go through tuesday clear skies to the north at
