these personal journey. inspiring stories of people perseverance on their chosen. witness documentaries. this is. allover i'm here in doha this is the al-jazeera news are coming up for you in the next 60 minutes the us imposes new sanctions on iran as it takes another step away from the 2015 nuclear deal. parts of santiago at a standstill as protesters vent their anger over social inequality. why an american diplomat feels threatened by donald trump new details emerge in the

impeachment inquiry. and the u.s. begins with a drawing from the historic paris climate's agreements which door trump has called unfair. well 40 years to the days since the rainy and protesters took u.s. embassy staff hostage both countries have taken steps likely to worsen their already strained relationship the u.s. treasury secretary announced new sanctions against iran's armed forces general staff its most senior military body and 9 people connected to supreme leader khamenei earlier on monday iran chicken other step away from the 2015 nuclear deal so iran says it's not warp orating twice as many advanced centrifuges azmera loads on the. agreements allowing it to produce enrich uranium faster this will make it

quicker for iran to build a nuclear weapon both announcements appeared time to fall in the 40th anniversary of that seizure off the u.s. embassy in tehran 52 american citizens were detained for more than 400 days dorsetshire reports from to her on the head of iran's atomic energy organization at one of the country's most important nuclear facilities this is where ali akbar salehi announced that iran has now added another 30 advanced centrifuges. zines you do see we weren't supposed to have 30 chinese centrifuges we wanted to work on it after we tested 20 chinese centrifuges then 3 to 4 years later to work on the 30 china centrifuges but we faced political challenges and senior authorities decided to show iran's potential power and determination this is

another step taken by iran to scale back its commitments to the 2015 nuclear deal authorities here say since the united states withdrew last year and imposed if syriza further sanctions on iran the remaining european signatories have yet to uphold their end of the green meant and until they do iran will continue to advance its nuclear program. that is something to european union is continuing to warn against we have continued torch run 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 j c p a 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 that our commitment to the nuclear defense and the full compliance by this announcement was made on the 40th anniversary of the takeover of the former u.s.

embassy in tehran where thousands gathered to mark the occasion they were demanding the return of the former shah mohammad reza pat levy to iran to stand trial the shah had been allowed into the u.s. to receive medical treatment for cancer those anti-american sentiments are still strong and for many here the united states withdrawal from the nuclear deal is yet another example president hassan rouhani will be officially announcing a wrong course step in reducing its commitments to daisy you know it very soon but after monday's announcement by you tomic interview organization there will likely be more concern and criticism about iran's nuclear ambitions in the days ahead north of the worry al-jazeera tacked on. well iran's foreign ministry says the latest u.s. sanctions show america's diplomatic shortcomings and bullying approach to international affairs mike hanna has more on why the sanctions were imposed senior

administration officials briefed journalists to make clear that the latest round of sanctions timed to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the arabian hostage siege well certainly these are significant the sanctions aimed at the very most senior levels of iranian leadership the 9 figures who'd be individually singled out all. members of the in a sanctum say a national security officials among them is the head of the iranian judiciary the iranian chief of staff and very importantly the 2nd son of the ayatollah khamenei he's the only one of the i told his children to actually works within the office and certainly represents his father at times in public so this is a significant selection of sanctions but important to motu that administration officials making very clear that these sanctions are part of an ongoing process this particular round designed to coincide with the anniversary of the iranian

hostage siege they are not necessarily a direct reaction to the latest iranian nuclear moves well this is senior fellow at the national and rini an american council she says the hostage crisis is the source of tensions between the u.s. and iran. the timing obviously from the american psycho and siding with the 40th anniversary of the hostage crisis is important because if you look at the history of the united states and iran policy and 1779 is a watershed moment it's a turning point in how the u.s. views iran how americans view iran and has affected u.s. policy views of iran ever since that 40 years of sort of and it that we see between the 2 sides starts with the hostage taking in november 170 now well the iranian government certainly uses the hostage crisis symbolically as well from the iranian

historical perspective what we have to understand about november 179 is that what the fear was amongst the iranians was that there would be a 2nd crew that would take out that reinstates the shop because he had been allowed to keep because he had been admitted into the united states 2 weeks earlier that goes back to the 1953 coup which was led by the cia and overthrew prime minister mossad and reinstated the shop so there was a very real fear that there would be a repeat of that 26 years later in 1079 and other thing to mark historically is that while the revolution happened in february of 979 united states hadn't broken diplomatic relations so this isn't happening until november and. one could think that there was the potential of actually having diplomatic relations but of course with the seizure of the embassy all the black times were cut i think there's a lack of understanding on both sides i think that there's legitimate grievances on

grievances on both sides and where the u.s. is absolutely rightful to take issue with iran's transgression in taking an embassy of all things to take hostages it's problematic in and of itself and to do it on diplomatic soil is experience. as it is you know overthrowing the government of a sovereign state to recruit so boat. sides have legitimate grievances well i hope that i think especially on your audience i but i think that most americans was that . way that your own nuclear deal was an opportunity to sort of relinquish the baggage of the past in or looking to the future rabbit and that was a model for cooperation and a model for negotiations between adversaries it wasn't something that said you know now there's an alliance between the 2 sides that they could cooperate thousands of protesters and the chilean capital some tiago have again vented their anger over social inequality police used water cannon and tear gas to trying to spare us the

crowds of demonstrators through volks the demonstrations have entered the 3rd week they will president sebastian pinera to resign even though he's proposed economic reforms a latin america and so the scene in yemen is in some tiago. i started i'm extremely peacefully and right of way here. a short while ago the looting began about 150 meters from where we are now there were some than bills and also people with masks that began to fro volatile cocktails at police they have been responding with massive amounts of tear gas to drive the entire demonstration the way we see thousands of thousands of people leaving many people covering their faces because of the tear gas which we've had we all agree is much stronger than it used to be at that it has been up until now but that many have come back as you could see there they're refusing to give up they say that it's now or never that there's no turning back now that they are being very very much as you could see people i was watching

the no cost of tuition there is one referendum obviously demanding that the president right away at the cabin of an opposition political crisis exception that right by the congress target which are refusing to even dialogue with the government of iraq was received think any of them out thank god the demand was systemic structural reforms are not a question of take 5. mass protests continue across iraq these 5 people have been killed by security forces in the capital baghdad my friends from far to demonstrate just gathering near the state had television had courses of the protests or was killed during a rally in the southern town of shocked shocked with $250.00 people have been killed since process began on top of 1st it's a shift in name is in baghdad. this is been

a tense evening in the capital fires in the roads barricades and additional security forces than we've typically seen in previous evenings the violence began late this afternoon protesters attempted to cross a bridge near tahrir square that's been the epicenter of the protests they were trying to cross this bridge to get into the fortified green zone attempted to topple barricades and that's when witnesses say security forces responded with live ammunition witnesses are saying that there are people who have been killed the prime minister spokesman is saying that is not true medical sources say dozens of people are injured and most of the injuries are from god and shot wounds to the face and head and that the wounded includes security forces from there there were reports that there were protesters who gathered around one of the prime

minister's office is near the green zone and they had to be dispersed with tear gas and water cannons and also a spokesman with the prime minister's office says the protesters attempted to reach the ministry of justice they lit a fire near a building nearby a spokesman says that protesters were beaten back with sticks so what you're seeing is a new evolution in these protests where they're no longer just confined to tahrir square but protesters are going to major intersection at intersections to prevent people from getting to work and going about their business and now we see they're attempting to get to government offices already the last 2 days various government offices and businesses have been closed as well as schools in baghdad and several southern provinces teachers and attorneys are on strike the prime minister's office is threatening the treat the teachers union and attorney says that these teachers

are not breaking the law they have the right to protest. turkey says it has captured the sister of the ice a leader abubaker all but does say he was killed during a raid by u.s. special forces in northwestern syria the resting place in the syrian town of assad's she's being interrogated along with her husband and daughter in law. plenty more still to come on the news hour including india's capital tries to take steps to reduce records levels of pollution but good be enough and several asia pacific countries agree to form a joint trade pacts but we'll find out why india is reluctant to join them and in sports figure back to where it all began for south africa's abrupt halt cup winning captain. the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine mary you've done of it she has told an impeachment inquiry

she felt threatened by donald trump a transcript of her testimony to the inquiry has been released along with that of michael mckinley a former adviser it's a section of state might print pale evanovich said ukrainian officials warned her that trump's allies were looking to her it's her reputation on monday for officials called to testify before the inquiry never showed up you will see in ambassador of on a vicious testimony what a dedicated public servant she is this is someone who serve the country with distinction for decades it is someone who also is one of the 1st witnesses to this irregular back channel that the president the stablish with rudy giuliani and the damage that it was doing to america's national security and foreign policy interests how it was working. in opposition not in support of u.s.

policy objectives. president trump just wrapped up around in the city of lexington in kentucky on our white house correspondent kimberly is fair kimberly this impeachment inquiry is a top pick in the u.s. just need to try to make mention of us at the rally. will certainly he has continued to portray himself as a victim even as these transcripts have come out essentially confirming what the president says is not the case that his foreign policy in very much involved with regard to ukraine a desire to investigate his political rival democratic presidential candidate and former vice president joe biden now the u.s. president continued to talk about the impeachment inquiry comparing it as you spoke here in the stage in kentucky too much like the mother investigation calling it a hoax calling it a witch hunt and also accusing many of those in congress that we just heard from

like adam schiff chair of the house intelligence committee and also the speaker of the house nancy pelosi sensually claiming that they have launched a war on democracy that he's done nothing wrong with what he believes this is an attempt to do the results of the 2016 u.s. election so that the u.s. president is very much sort of sent out the rallying cry sounding the alarm amongst his base of supporters portraying himself as someone who is been victimized not only by democrats in congress but also by the media he says is not fully reporting the story of the more complete that debate is intensely partisan as we are seeing as we cover this story trying managed to get a chance to talk to his supporters. this evening but where are the public on this on the city. well it's really interesting because when you look at the nation as a whole it was pretty evenly divided in terms of whether or not the president

should be impeached when you come to the state of kentucky this is a solid support of republican values for example there are more than 50 percent in this state believe in support the president when it comes to impeachment that even includes some democrats in the 60 percent to drange certainly feel the president should not be impeached now there's a really important test that's happening on tuesday that's when there will be a local race here in kentucky now usually something a president comes out to campaign for but there is a republican governor here who is running for reelection having some trouble with that so the president has come in for a couple of reasons number one it's to show that he's still a political asset when he comes in to campaign for those candidates win but the other reason is this is a test for the u.s. president the party has maintained that in washington where there is very much a desire to get the facts out to hold this impeachment inquiry that this is really not something that the ordinary american public voting public cares about they care

about jobs they care about wages so this is a very closely watched vote that we've taken place in the state on tuesday it's seen as a bit of a bra matter as to whether or not outside of washington this impeachment inquiry really matters to ordinary americans ok kimberly home leave it there but thank you very much indeed for bringing us all the latest from kentucky. now the u.s. has begun the formal process of withdrawing from the paris climate accords president trump announced his intention back in 2017 but monday was the earliest that he could legally make the move now the global pact to fight climate change was written in 2015 and signed by almost $200.00 countries the united states is the only nation to leave their each country provided its own goals to curb emissions of heat trapping gases that lead to climate change the global goal is to keep the temperature rise to below 2 degrees celsius this century the obama administration

promised to reduce u.s. greenhouse gas emissions by up to 28 percent by 2030 that's from 2005 levels but trump says it unfairly hurts the u.s. economy the actual withdrawal will take a year and will come into effect the day after the 2020 alexion. to a she have returned say who's in washington d.c. for. the top campaign pledge in the last election was to withdraw or we can certainly assume that this is going to be an issue in the upcoming presidential campaign. well i think actually weirdly there's some hope that this will become more of an issue certainly the major u.s. networks and major media have been rather concentrating on impeachment even though it's kimberley suggested a lot of americans would rather people were talking about jobs inequality and the environment growing numbers of americans are in the belief that manmade climate

change exists and something must be done including a growing number of republican americans and actually a lot of republican leaders have been talking in recent months or less well anyway the house minority leader was warning the republican party membership look we're going to start talking seriously about this because we're going to lose key demographics like young young young republicans forever and if we're going to do something about the issue that they care about in florida 44 percent of republicans believe in manmade climate change but in part perhaps because they've seen the devastating effects of it it's all very well for donald trump to please that 30 percent 35 percent of his base with this promise but there is a bit more nuance so that may seem at 1st there are changes afoot the idea of federal action isn't entirely off the table even as the u.s. moves away from the paris accord and as you mentioned this actual withdrawal only takes place the day after the next election so that means that if the democrats win they can they can reverse this and they just have to take 30 days or so to come up

with some new emissions targets never can get back in however of donald trump does when it will be interesting to see what the international ramifications are because there are other nations wavering on that climate change targets like australia or brazil so it'll be interesting to see whether if trump gets a 2nd term whether others will then start following suit and then paris climate change record will unravel which as imperfect as it is that wouldn't be terribly good for the climate ok as shepherd sounds you have to leave it there but thanks very much indeed for joining us from washington d.c. well let's get more on this now i think it is fines are off the energy $45.00 funds she was also pretty. deputy assistant administrator at the environmental protection agency during the trump administration and joins us now by skype from carter in mississippi thanks very much for speaking with us here on our just 00 the energy 45 fund supports withdrawal from the paris climates agreement why

well were the united states it was a bad deal a lot of the costs were born on the backs of american workers and weren't actually operators that president prioritize and committed to revitalizing during his presidency which we've seen in a number of different applications so the pirs climate accord it had a lot of cost to the american people and at the end of the day when it comes to how you would purport to measure success. it failed to achieve any meaningful and missions reductions that was going to have a measurable impact on the climate so a range of factors with regard to impact of the united states economy the workers and also whether or not it was crude successful it was a really good decision for the president to get out and the so given that you say this this this would not solve the problem of change and president trump often when he takes a deal he doesn't like you says he would want to renegotiate it would have renegotiated

dilute quite quite what a good dilute quake for the united states but also one which would tackle climate change. well i think that the biggest thing we we could prioritize ish area and that technologies and efficiency processes that we have refined in the united states already there's that largely through technology sharing but also through the sharing of acts for parties and we have some programs like this when i worked at e.p.a. i was a part of a group called the negev cities project now again that's what's the guess on tackling tangible air missions like particulate matter and nitric oxide but the same thing could be replicate a core sharing how we in the united states use technology to already reduce emissions to the point where we lead the world in emissions reductions so a good deal would be printed on sharing that instead of setting up the process that

was established under the piers agreement that led to commitments whereby countries wouldn't have to follow through if they had made meaningful commitments to begin and when the the biggest qualms we had as well was that the quote unquote commitments from india and china did nothing to mitigate the fact that the majority of the mission's growth will be coming from those 2 countries for the foreseeable future ok i'm afraid we're out of time to give us a curve but thank you very much indeed for joining us here on all just sirrah thank year. now india's top courts accuse state governments of failing to take concrete action on toxic air pollution in the northern areas of the country the capital new delhi is now restricting chorus and diverting flights but the supreme court say those measures are gimmicks burning small business are so bad that a public health emergency has been declared over her reports from new delhi.

this brown haze has enveloped new delhi anything above 400 on the city's quality index is considered very severe it rules about power and has a does for billions of people it is bad every winter but this is the 1st time the government has declared a public health emergency. just to shut 3 says he doesn't like wearing a mask while driving his scooter that it's necessary. the reason i'm wearing a mask has increased pollution i don't have any illness but i cough. in the last 45 days my nose is watering my eyes are burning. children and the elderly are especially at risk says she suffers a heart condition and the pollution has forced her to go to hospital. i have a cold a cough and my chest hurts since pollution increased everything hurts now. doctors

say because of the toxic small they have treated 5 times their usual number of patients over the past few days some people living in india's national capital say it's become a gas chamber the state government is alternating the days pass can be driven on the roads between those whose registrations and all. and those with evil but. leave behind me is the iconic roster but the problem ah president's house it's a tall building but today one can barely see it the government has taken the step to have the number of possible recalls on the street that should reduce air pollution a little but as long as farmers keep burning stubble in neighboring states yeah pollution is expected to continue to be very severe in new delhi the spammers in the adjoining states of punjab and haryana have harvested their rice and now need to clear their land for their winter wheat crop burning is the quickest way

environmentalists say that needs to change but i think at the end of the day farmers need to sort of put pressure on the government to ultimately provide markets that are needed to shift away to other crops but pharmacy if they are to change their practices and invest in clean up technology and machinery they need support from the government that's on top of it tackling other sources of pollution meaning those hoping for cleaner air are unlikely to have immediate relief. al-jazeera new delhi. or they are called seas not just hazardous in new delhi but also in large parts of northern india air purifiers are being placed around the taj mahal in ugh more than 200 kilometers south of new delhi it's hope go clear the air around the 17th century marble more selenium which has tens of thousands of visitors every day. the united nations has launched relief efforts for victims of deadly flooding in somalia at least 10 people have been killed and more than 270000

how much of the mainland right now in china has disappeared we still got cloud as you know had it for weeks now coming out of the plateau a good bit of rain to sichuan at points to be the case to be honest but it's fairly obvious this breeze here is what's drawing your eye in fact the potential unlikely development of a tropical depression will produce rain in south china sea hitting vietnam and the philippines but not mainland china here is virtually a dry pictures to quite nice is over 27 in hong kong and 20 in shanghai slow drop in temperature but a big drop in humidity now from the satellite picture you think well it's not particularly heavy rain but think of the scale of this map focused wise that's like

to produce significant rain in vietnam possibly in thailand as well certainly in the philippines and the line extends into borneo in indonesia it's not a particularly wet picture of are a few showers around is not a concentration even sumatra is only half covered by clouds and possible rain and with the official decline in monsoon rains with the exception maybe of sri lanka you just have a quick look at what's happening in the arabian sea yet another tropical cyclone its course is not fixed nor accurate but it may well drift back towards gerat in the next few days. the weather sponsored by catherine was. counting the cost of health care special u.s. insurers of failing patients of the world's richest country and one of the poorest patients abattoirs health services on the brink of collapse but can the un hit its goal of universal health care for all by 2030 counting the cost of al-jazeera.

decades chile has been seen as a sort of oasis of prosperity in latin america i in 1900 the country ushered in a new democracy and in 17 years of brutal awkward tarion rule. the years that followed were marked by fast pace economic growth and a massive reduction in poverty. when the military dictatorship in chile ended no less than 45 percent of the population lived in poverty from the moment democracy was recovered economic growth was very high but they came a moment around 2000 when that growth stops because despite the boom of a stable middle class in the 21st century as also witnessed a growing discontent over economic inequality. on october 18th the announcement of an increase in public transport fares sparked massive social upheaval since then the unrest on the streets of the chilean capital and elsewhere in the country has

been unrelenting behind the facade of unshakable modern development there's a sense that she has broken the concerns are over stagnant wages low pensions unequal access to health care and education and a widespread perception that the standard of living is getting worse. many chileans believe the ongoing crisis is rooted in the country's economic model founded on neoliberal principles that are seen as a remnant of the days of the hard line pinochet era and some people's incomes do not match the cost of living in prices here like they are in europe but wages of the same as the rest of latin america in terms of long term solutions we need to think about how to restructure the. calls to 2 since that we inherited from the pinochet dictatorship. while many argue neo liberalism is to blame for the state of inequality in chile others say it's been negligence by the side of the country's political class that's exacerbated the problem nor would only more of the oh liberalism is a pejorative term for

a free market economy i don't think people who participate in these massive marches a protesting against a free market they're protesting against a lack of opportunities. there's no shortage of opinions over what the solution to chill is political crisis should be but the problem is clear the prosperity achieved over the last 30 years has been fooled by the wealthiest in society and people have had enough when rolled up a little something. which has says in lebanon's capital beirut and other parts of the country have blocked roads as they continue to demand for the really elites to go the way the demonstrations began last month plunging the country in supply school turmoil despite the prime minister's announcement to quit there's been no sign of progress yet so what agreements on a new government say 100 reports from beirut. protesters in lebanon are escalating their struggle against those in power again closing roads to pressure the governing coalition to form

a government independent of political parties this is the main highway linking the capital beirut to south lebanon we are blocking the road but tell the people who are sitting at home that hey listen we are doing this because you are not raising your voice because you are being silent something like these young men continue to support them in the sectarian political parties they are diverting traffic caused by road closures there is tension in the streets day 19 of this protest movement and people here say they're still determined to take control of their future but they are facing a political class just as determined to stay in power. our public pressure has forced prime minister saddle had needed to resign but the president michel aoun has still not set a date for binding parliamentary consultations to choose a new prime minister there's a lot of back room obviously a back door horsetrading trying to identify who's going to be the prime minister

but also what kind of cabinet. they think is needed or that they find acceptable lebanon is not on the brink of economic collapse we've started sliding into you know not an economic and but serious economic challenges and the protests are making the economy suffer even more frustration is growing especially among those who need to get to work every day and want their children to return to schools but others say they are ready to make a sacrifice not a lot of fun as a shop owner i can't open and be against the people in the movement of course this harms business but i'm in during because i want to stand with the people and their rights. it's a fight for a better future but some of it he's angry over the high cost of living also benefit from the status quo they are not backing the so-called revolution calling for a complete change of the sectarian based political system so are other lebanese who seem unwilling to take a step into the unknown jennifer their beirut. some ways former transport
