our monthly climate crisis is a battle of many fronts not least out of the ocean al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring you more lewd documentaries and life needs. the u.s. puts new sanctions on iran as it takes another step away from the 2015 nuclear deal . a lot of has i'm sick of this is live from doha also coming up parts of chile's capital come to a standstill or thousands of protesters vent their anger over social inequality. threats to a former u.s. ambassador and subpoenas ignored the impeachment inquiry against president donald trump goes public. u.s.

begins with drawing from the historic paris climate agreement which donald trump has called on the fair. iran has accused the u.s. of bullying off to impose new sanctions that came a few hours after iran said it would take another step away from the 2015 nuclear deal the head of the country's atomic energy organization says it is now operating twice as many advanced centrifuges also joe buddy reports from tehran. 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 to see we won'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 the 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 deal depends on 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 for the app and reducing its commitments to daisy 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 tack on. our mike hanna has more now on why the

sanctions were imposed. senior administration officials briefed journalists to make clear that the latest round of sanctions time to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the arabian hostage siege now certainly these are significant the sanctions aimed at the very most senior levels of iranian leadership the 9 figures who individually singled out all members of the inner sanctums 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 with in the office and certainly represents his father at times in public so this is a significant selection of sanctions but important to most to 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 of thousands of protesters are back on the streets of the chilean council santiago's demonstrations there enter a 3rd week police used a water cannon and tear gas to try to disperse the crowds while demonstrators threw rocks they want president sebastian pinera to resign even though his proposed economic reforms are latin america editor lucia newman is in santiago. this is day 7 team and according to the media when our. writers came out. on our completely trial we started i'm extremely peaceful you. caught a short while ago looting began about 150 meters from where we are now there were

some vandals and also people with masks and began to throw cocktails at police they have been responding with massive amounts of tear gas to drive the entire demonstration the way thousands and thousands of people leaving many people having their faces because of the tear gas which we've had we all agree is much stronger than it used to be at that and 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 thank you thank you thank you very much because you could see people want to watch the new constitution there's one referendum demanding that the president right away from the cabinet and opposition for the democracy thank you exception that right now the communist party which are refusing to even dialogue with the government of iraq ahmed said thank you thank

you to the command center was a systemic corruption reform should not a question of take a moment by. the internet access has reportedly been caught in iraq where mass protests in the capital left another 5 people dead on monday live rounds were fired at demonstrators gathering in the state television headquarters in baghdad another protest that was killed at a rally in the southern town of shocked more than 250 people have been killed since protests began on october 1st tasha lineen has more from a bank than. 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 a 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 of building nearby 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. the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine marina vonnegut's told an impeachment inquiry she felt threatened by donald trump a transcript of her testimony from last month to the inquiry has been released

along with that of michael mckinley a former adviser to the secretary of state my comp a oh you're vonage said ukrainian officials warned her the president's allies will looking to hurt her reputation on monday for officials called to testify before the inquiry never turns outs you will see in ambassador yvonne a vicious testimony. what a dedicated public servant she is this is someone who served 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 at. in opposition not in support of u.s. policy objectives ok really how could has more from lexington kentucky where president trump held

a rally. as the impeachment inquiry in the house of representatives accelerates democrats making public the testimony of at least one of those closed door hearings with the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine testimony revealing what the president says was not the case that he had a desire to have one of his political rivals former vice president joe biden investigated by the ukrainian government the u.s. president as he spoke here in kentucky in advance of local elections to take place on tuesday urged his supporters to fight back accusing the democrats of a politically motivated investigation saying he is the victim of yet another which hides he also says that this is a war on democracy and the senator from kentucky rand paul going a step further urging the media to expose the whistleblower who brought the situation to light saying that it is time for the media to print the whistle

blower's name now this is a race here in kentucky that is being watched very closely not because it's a presidential election year in fact there are only a handful of states including kentucky that are holding elections this week but this is being marked as a bit of a brahmin or a test for president trying to see how much the impeachment inquiry is affecting him outside of washington while the president maintains that the voting public is more concerned about kitchen table issues like wages and jobs this is a race being followed very very carefully is seen as a test of just how much the president is able to be resilient when it comes to his own reelection chances in 2020. now u.s. appeals court has ordered president trump to hand over 8 years worth of tax returns to new york prosecutors the ruling allows them to enforce a subpoena for the documents from trump's accounting firm the president has tried

to prevent the release of his tax information as part of an investigation into alleged pre-election payoffs. all right still ahead on al jazeera india's capital take steps to reduce record levels of pollution but will it be enough. and inspiring the next generation will go back to where it all began for south africa as well cup here. it's not looking particularly wintry not particularly summery frankly had the cold blast that's all gone through across the great lakes bit more snow still to come on the canadian side and if you follow this line here that is cold air going back down through the rockies so temperatures will drop was to look at plus 11 in seattle but minus one in calgary 60 with that cold is going there will the will still be some

wind finding the flames in california it's hard to see exactly what will be in detail skies are clear anyway as for what's holding out the sky further east 40 degrees in cloud in new york toronto marci a little bit of rain the snows to the north but temperatures are dropping here and his snow coming through maybe wisconsin certainly over the great lakes on through minneapolis down to about plus one nowhere is it stiflingly hot with the possible exception of miami and south of this weather so plenty of showers around the caribbean they've not been particularly big recently nor will be they be in the next day or so mexico's a different story mexico belize and honduras or i think approach at least at 1st to some fairly went weather. for south america the temperature particularly in powder grandsons who has dropped back to near normal some useful rain has fallen here and this line will last for next couple of days with some decent downpours.

they say to really know someone you must walk a mile in their shoes. follow in their footsteps as they forge their way in the world. al-jazeera shares these personal journey it's. inspiring stories of people persevering on their chosen path. with news documentaries on al-jazeera. but again you're watching it is it a reminder of our top stories this hour the u.s. has imposed a new round of sanctions on iran they target its most senior military body and

people connected to the supreme leader. this follows terrans decision to take a further step back from a 2015 nuclear deal. thousands of protesters are back on the streets of the chilean capital santiago as demonstrations and to a 3rd week they want president sebastian pinera to resign even though his government has proposed a series of economic reforms. a former u.s. ambassador to ukraine told an impeachment inquiry she felt threatened by donald trump a transcript of memory of on of his testimony from last month has been released she said ukraine officials warned her that president trump's allies were looking to hurt her reputation. a protesters in lebanon's capital and other parts of the country have blocked roads as they continue to demand a new government the wave of demonstrations. began last month plunging the country into political turmoil the prime minister quit last week but there's still no

agreement on his replacement zain ohana 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 to 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 the mainly 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 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 of the 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 while none of us as a shop owner i can't open and be against the people in the movement of course this harms business but i'm enduring because i want to stand with the people and their rights. it's a fight for a better future but some of these 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 so to put their own beirut a target says it has captured the sister of the isolated. dead he was killed during a raid by u.s. special forces in northwestern syria is sisters arrest took place in the syrian town of via says she's being interrogated along with her husband and daughter in law a 2nd day protest has been taking place in barcelona against a visit by spain's royal family king philippe and his family were attending an awards ceremony in the city thousands of cattle and step just gathered outside to protest the spanish king had criticized the leaders of the region's failed independence referendum in 2017 and didn't mention the many people injured by police the united states has formally begun withdrawing from the palace paris

climate agreement the global pact was set up to fight climate change in 2015 and was ratified by 185 countries president donald trump has said the treaty puts an unfair economic burden on american workers france says it regrets the u.s. decision it is the only country to pull out of the accord she had returned she has more from washington. this formal notification means that in a year's time the u.s. will leave the paris climate accord the day off to their the u.s. presidential election so this could be reversed if a democrat wins that election they have 30 days of them or they have to wait 30 days and then they can get back in to your court but also other interesting interesting fact is that means or perhaps all hope isn't lost on climate for a start local authorities both federal and and city authorities are doing a great deal now to try and combat greenhouse gases alone even they admit that's not enough without federal action in addition their public opinion is now key even

republicans are increasingly worried about the climate if they in a swing state like florida 44 percent of republicans now say they believe in manmade climate change and republicans are beginning to realize that they have to change that narrative to say that they too are concerned that they don't simply care about their contributions from the fossil fuel industry or perhaps their lack of belief in science so there are interesting political moves underway that we all hope isn't lost from a federal level on climate change. is a senior scientist in the climate and now a section at the national center for atmospheric research he says no country is required to stay in the deal and that's part of the problem it's disappointing and the problem is of course that there's no international government. is relatively weak body called the united nations and it requires individual countries to play

a leadership role and to set up various kinds of treaties and the u.s. is not playing a leadership role on that you know if all of the other countries could get together and set up a tariff system against the u.s. maybe they should maybe that's what should happen. the statement i've seen from the united states from my pump ayos says that there's a cost to the workers in the united states but what he what they have not considered is the very high cost of no action you know there are countless benefits . to taking actions against the climate change and the trouble is that many of them are countless they relate to the quality of life and greatest security and if you are refugees in many of these things do not have a dollar value on them and you know even last you know the last 10 years it's estimated that the actual cost in the united states is $35000000000.00

a year this is from the g.a.o. and the and the department of energy and so the failure to recognize these high costs that are already occurring is to me just not doesn't make any sense at all well india's capital new delhi has restricted car use off the record levels of small a public health emergency has been declared and the supreme court has called for more action on child lot i reports from new delhi. this brown haze has enveloped new debbi anything above 400 on the city's quality index is considered very city yeah. it. 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. this to shut 3 says he doesn't like driving his scooter that it's necessary. the reason i'm wearing

a mask is 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 in 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 order number registrations and those with evil but farmers also being moved behind me is the iconic roster but the

poverty opera's events 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. these farmers 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 beer farmers need to sort of put pressure on the government to ultimately provide bright markets that are needed to shift away to other crops but pharmacy if they are to change their practices and invest in cleaner 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.
