is live for us. was this expected that iran would keep continuing basically at this pace since the u.s. withdrew from the deal. well no we knew that iran was going to scale back its commitments this is the 4th step that they have been just announced but this is by far the most significant one that's because the 4 don't nuclear facility which is just near the city of all was always a controversial one it was revealed to the international community in 2009 by the iranians that after the u.s. intelligence services said that there was a secret facility that our own was working on but before anybody actually made that public the iranians announced the existence of this facility now this is the only facility in iran that is able to produce that much debated 20 percent enriched uranium for joe has that capacity and the president today announced that because

the united states withdrew from the nuclear deal and the european signatories are not doing enough to stay in that deal iran is taking the step even president rouhani himself acknowledge that his own announcement is going to be very controversial and they will be many many reactions he said that these centrifuges will have gas injected into them so they will become operational the important point is that under the j.c. purely that's the nuclear agreement of 2015 this facility turned into a research facility was no longer operational it was only supposed to be for research purposes and now with this announcement it means that iran has now gone back on that part of the remains and decided to make it an operational one all right dorsetshire live in tehran thank you. iraqi protesters are blocking roads and bridges in the capital baghdad and in several other provinces as they step up the pressure on the government a monday security forces fired live rounds at demonstrators gather near the state

encountered security forces and witnesses are telling us that live ammunition was used and at least 5 people were killed although the spokesman for the prime minister's office continues to deny that anyone was killed protesters also went to the ministry of justice they lit a fire at a building next door they also tried to gather 'd around one of the prime minister's offices they had to be dispersed with tear gas and water canyons today schools remain closed as do the courts in baghdad 'd both the teachers union and the attorneys union are on strike the prime minister is threatening legal action against the teacher's union so it's unclear exactly what crime it could be. the teachers could be charged with one attorney says they are simply exercising their right. to protest as you mentioned the gridlock in the capital remains here 40 roads have been blocked by protesters and the authorities have taken the steps of

closing 4 main bridges there was an internet blackout overnight and it lasted up until about a few hours ago so finally the internet has been restored but a very tense situation here in baghdad as protesters go late there are meetings of protesting and say that they are not backing down all right natasha name with the latest from baghdad thank you turkey says it has captured the sister of the isolator a boubacar daughter who was killed during a raid by u.s. special forces in northwestern syria they arrest took place in the syrian town of azaz she's being interrogated along with her husband and daughter in law and the u.s. has begun the formal process of withdrawing from the paris climate accord president donald trump announced his intention to do so in 2017 but monday was the earliest he could legally make the move the global pact of flight climate change was written 2015 and signed by 187 countries united states is the only nation to lead each

a great deal now to try and combat greenhouse gases a lot even they admit that's not enough without federal action in addition to public opinion is now key even republicans are increasingly worried about the climate say 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 their narrative to say that they too are concerned that they don't really care about their contributions from the fossil fuel industry or perhaps the lack of belief in science so there are interesting political moves underway that mean all hope isn't lost from a federal level on climate change. court has ordered president donald trump to hand over 8 years of tax returns to new york prosecutors the ruling allows prosecutors to enforce a subpoena for the documents from trump's accounting firm trump has tried to prevent the release of his tax information as part of an investigation into alleged
