solution we listen what i just said it was that pakistan would never start a. war we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories of the. 0. iran's president announces his country will be taking yet another step away from the 2015 nuclear deal. i'm richelle carey this is out of their life and also coming up at the start it's your long process of withdrawing from the paris climate agreement. these people are lunatics u.s. president on tour in kentucky continuing his attacks on democrats as the impeachment investigation builds more steam. mainland china and hong kong

increasingly becoming the target of protesters anger. president has just announced the country will be taking another step away from a 2015 nuclear deal also ronnie's says from wednesday they will start injecting uranium gas into just over $1000.00 centrifuges on monday aronne announced it was doubling the number of its advanced centrifuges allowing it to produce enriched uranium faster that was that by the u.s. imposing new sanctions on 9 aides close to iran's supreme leader president hassan rouhani outlined the next actions iran will be taking. care not to music percent wrong iran's fault step will be launched at the photo nuclear facility and i will advise the atomic energy organization to start as of tomorrow by feeding gas into the centrifuges i will also inform the p. 4 plus one of the step this new action will also be under the supervision of the

international atomic energy agency. across town to tehran or dorset jabari is live for us with force of this announcement what does it mean overall for where ron's nuclear program is headed. well it means that iran is going back to what it had in terms of its nuclear activity prior to the 2015 nuclear deal that it signed with world powers the for don't nuclear facility has always been a very sensitive one because it is the only facility inside iran that is able to produce 20 percent enriched uranium and that has been always a point of contention with the international community because they say iran doesn't actually need to enrich uranium at 20 percent and to go from 20 percent to 90 percent is not a very long stretch if you have the know how to do how to do that to know how to do that then you can also produce it at 90 percent but this is the only facility that

can produce 20 percent enriched uranium and under the nuclear deal of 2015 this facility became a research facility so it was no longer enriching uranium and that's what the iranians agreed to in exchange for sanctions relief now as the announcement today by the president means that for don't you clear facility is now becoming operational at a very small scale he said that just over a 1000 centrifuges will be injected with gas as of tomorrow but he said that this is another step that they're taking and he even a dollar judged that this step will cause much criticism from world powers but he said that it's an absolutely necessary one because the united states was true from the nuclear agreement last year and imposed a series of sanctions on iran the iranian officials feel that the european signatories to this deal are not upholding their end of the work and and the president is now using every 60 day period to announce a step that iran is taking back from this agreement until the europeans signatories

. so that they're holding up there and that the deal and the president rouhani also stressed that all these steps are reversible as soon as the europeans show that they are committed to the steel and he said for now they have yet another 60 days to show that they're still in this nuclear agreement ok dorsett party with the latest from tehran dorsett thank you very much now let's bring in our correspondent also been covering this for so so the 2015 nuclear deal is just mentioned there obviously it wasn't just the u.s. that was part of it there were european signatories as well where does this deal stand now. well for many people it's pretty much dead because iran has stepped back from its commitments the united states has imposed unilateral sanctions but what's really important is what's happening inside of iran now although the political establishment tries to put on a united front the president rouhani has come in for some criticism among the

hardliners now president rouhani staked his political reputation on this deal but the hardliners from the outset were behind this deal they thought that the united states would go back on it and they've been proven right but it's also about how iran is viewed as a country outside of iran and how best to deal with the west now the hardliners say that respect for iran comes when they shoot down a u.s. drone like they did back in june using iranian technology respect for iran comes when they seize a british flag tanker back in july 2 weeks after an iranian tanker overseas respect for iran comes from the allies around the region from the hutu rebels who care who claimed responsibility for this idea run code attack to his blind level and today militias in iraq and also an iranian president a presence in syria so for the hardliners very much to respect and to deal with the west comes from a show of strength and very much it's a military strength so there's been criticism for president rouhani but also it hasn't helped the united states has imposed these sanctions even on the foreign

minister divides the reef on the oil and banking sectors on the office of the supreme leader now the aides surrounding the supreme leader and it's also difficult to tell whether president rouhani actually wanted to carry out this 4th step or he's doing it because of the circumstances so what it says about iran is that this deal is dead but the next step will pretty much be decided by the supreme leader. thank you very much. arky protesters are blocking roads and bridges in the capital baghdad and in other provinces as well as a step up pressure on the government on monday security forces fired live rounds of demonstrators gather near the state television headquarters killing at least 5 people the prime minister has called for an end to the bloodshed saying the protests have achieved their goals and are now hurting the economy has more from baghdad. what we're seeing is an escalation by protesters because there is an impasse between them and the government protesters here in tahrir square released

a statement on monday evening saying the entire government must go and that includes dissolving the parliament which they say is quote famous for election rigging they're calling for early elections and they're also calling for an election committee that would have members free of political party affiliations the president has announced the prime minister either that he would resign once the successor was named he did not give a timetable for that we're indicate word for lack of a new minute after the president has also said that a new election law is going to be drafted a new election committee will be formed and the members will be selected based on credentials not party affiliations but again no timetable has been given the president has only said that a draft of a new election law is being worked on and will hopefully be submitted to the

parliament for its review this week i spoke to a political analyst and he says we're dealing with a government that doesn't realize that it's tied up that it wants to cling to power and protesters are fed up they've been protesting on and off since 2010 and he says they no longer trust the process no longer trust the government and they will continue to stay in the square and so there are they believe. protests are being held for the 20th day across the road from a walk by demonstrators as they demand for the ruling elite to go despite the prime minister's announcement that he'll quit there's been no sign of progress towards agreement on a new government stuff. that is north of beirut where the army has started clearing one of the main highways. the army has now turned out in full force. moving in there trying to open the roads you can see

a lot of frustration here drivers. there's orders being given by the army commanders. this highway's been backed up all the way so you can. try. some of. the protesters are putting their hands up shouting peaceful religion. there's a lot of. frustration. the protesters during this to keep the pressure on the government but a lot of people are getting upset the civilians in the south. but .

the situation that we're in isn't. and we support places to allow people to access hospitals the children texas schools the government is losing millions of dollars and then what do you think about this event happening i hope the army want to open the road. that's a wrong step. for the army. over that we're in place now opening up this major highway the doctors are saying they will come back to the street because our demand haven't been that there's been no political movement and they think that this way is the only way to keep the pressure on the government. turkey says that it has captured the sister of isolator abubakar a big daddy who was killed last week during a raid by u.s. special forces in northwestern syria she was arrested in the syrian town of his ahs

and is being interrogated along with her husband and her daughter in law the u.s. has begun the formal process of withdrawing from the paris climate accord or some donald trump announced his intention to do so in 2017 but monday was the earliest he could legally make that move that will draw will take a year and come into effect the day after the 2020 alexion. more from washington d.c. . this formal notification means that in a year's time the us will leave the paris climate accord the day off to the us presidential election so this could be reversed if a democrat wins that election they have 30 days then or they have to wait 30 days and then they can get back in to be a court that 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 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 are concerned that they don't simply 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 still ahead on al-jazeera inspiring the next generation will go back to where they can by south africa's world cup here. and a large scale rally marks the 3rd week of protests against the government.

investigation into meddling by russian and russian officials into u.k. politics had a far reaching impact in particular they've been looking at the effects it's had not just on the exit referendum that took place a couple of years ago but particularly on the governing conservative party who can get specific key figures including come prime minister former strong son who was previously the mayor of london and then obviously the one of the proponents and the head of the leave camp pain they're looking gets one particular relationship between surgery. not have been who was a russian. someone connected to the russian intelligence service and pictured or seen frequently with senior conservative figures and what's maybe i rating a lot of people here or where the criticism is being leveled is that this reports
