i found a stash of documents which reveal the collaboration between british and libyan intelligence services on al jazeera. this is al-jazeera. and welcome again to the news today with me here in doha coming up the next 60 minutes iran's president announces another break from the nuclear deal while stressing it can be reversed. making it official the u.s. government hands in its leading that says from the paris climate agreement it signed with almost 200 other nations. china's president puts his trust in hong kong's leader despite speculation about plans to remove. also blamed for helping to

cause a housing crisis in the u.s. apple explains how it plans to make it better in sport fowl and declare when the 115 or it's now been kept in australia will tell you why the race that stops the nation has been overshadowed by allegations that have shocked the nation after trying to animal cruelty. let's get going iran's president has announced another significant step away from the 2050 nuclear deal passon rouhani says from weapons to iran will start injecting uranium gas into more than $1000.00 centrifuges now that process was banned under the agreement but rouhani didn't say whether it will be used to enrich uranium iran's gradually been shedding its commitments to this unraveling deal on monday as announced its doubling the number of advanced centrifuges. those will reduce the

time iran needs to build up enough material to develop a nuclear bomb if it chooses to well as of now iran is enriching or purifying you raney i'm up to 4.5 percent to help generate nuclear power that's above the 3.6 percent as allowed under the nuclear deal but well below weapons grade levels of about 90 percent however iran's threaten to push enrichment back up to 20 percent which technically is only a short step from 90 the country's leaders say the nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes as cross live now to tehran and our correspondent joe body also what does this mean well peter this means that iran is now one step closer to going back to its nuclear program prior to those who is 1015 nuclear deal that they signed with the world powers this means that the

president who is also the head of the country's nuclear commission decided that it is time to put more pressure on the remaining signatories of the 2015 deal this means that iran's nuclear program is moving forward despite the limitations set out in that agreements let's hear some more of what the president had to say more as far as a door on iran's 4th 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. now this facility the fordo nuclear facility is near the city of all myths then the very controversial one since it was announced why the iranian officials in 2009 that it was operational this is the only facility that has the capabilities to enrich

uranium at 20 percent inside iran now the president had said it said that even though this is not what they want at the moment they will continue to move forward with their plans to make this facility now a operational one before that under the nuclear agreement it was supposed to become a research facility but the president rouhani has also said that this move is trey's an attempt to force the european signatories that have been left in the nuclear agreement to try up all their end of the deal because he believes as many do here that since the united states withdrew from the nuclear agreement last year and impose a new set of sanctions on iran the european countries are too afraid to uphold their end of the deal and to do business with iran and that is something they're radiance of said is unacceptable and they will not put their nuclear program on hold for an agreement that really they haven't seen any of their results of they want to from. thanks very much told you very soon ok let's bring in an a c.

but cod to a research fellow at the world united services institute joins us from london to breezy is the 2015 deal in effect and goal. not yet but of course the latest announcement made by iran doesn't make the situation easier to deal with the 4 day remaining parties we know that the situation has been very complicated since a president trump has been in power and especially since us withdrew from the nuclear deal in may 2 dozen 18 and of course attention that reason even more over the past 6 months assumes the iran has decided to scale back its compliance or with the nuclear deal in response to that maximum pressure convention a fact that it was not getting the benefits of remaining fully compliant or to the nuclear deal i wanted to run a part me for interrupting you why is iran doing this as of now. well it.

really is a rationale behind iran's behavior as being clear it seems may have decided to take the steps of because they are not able to sell their oil or to be connected to the financial system and have been saying that if they are not able to sell their oil or to get the benefit of a transaction with the global financial system there is no benefit for data to remain a party of the new cardio and debt has been trying to push 3 in particular but also russia and china to all find a way to basically offset the impact of u.s. sanctions but as of now 6 me 6 months after iran made news announcement there has been still no change in the situation as far as the other signatories are concerned if there are back to channel conversations going on because tehran is clearly signaling look at is not completely dead and buried as of yet what's the nature of

those conversations. well we know that there are many parties are committed to dental care deal as they are committed to bring iran back in full compliance attitudinal cardio these are the 2 priorities we also know that impractical 3 u.k. france and germany have tried to find ways to for iran and to continue to try to weave that europe about also with other countries we know about that in stocks mckinney's and the e.u. are blocking a statute all of that however and fortunately because of the need to update us that his station has not been sufficient to allow iran to continue its deals with you and with the other countries as of the nature of the conversation right now is to see if there are quicker fixie is a quicker incentives for iran to be convinced that to go back to its full compliance of course the latest announcement made by iran is going to be taken very

seriously by you are russia and china as well because of the sensitivity of ordeal and what it entailed back in 2009 with regard to the 20 percent enrichment so we don't have to see whether iran went too far in the trying to push the remaining parties in delivering something in return for its full compliance and whatever to j.c. they will say i were not ok speculate for us and it will be complete speculation of course what you think of washington reaction will be to this donald trump's reaction will be as the states wakes up to this news john bolton national security adviser very right wing he's not in the picture anymore. well we know that in reality what president trump would want is for iran to negotiate a new deal however the u.s. the strategy so far has been off maximum pressure on really of the imposition of sanctions and that of joe part izing that their strategy and the attempts of park

heiress and lies and such they. european wants to keep did deal i'm not i have so we know they're not going to be very happy about the news but does this part of the maximum pressure campaign under a result of basically putting off a number of sanctions we dogs or anything in return for iran to consider even for coming to negotiating tables i hope and i would assume that there should be some sort of briefing talking about this trying to g. and d. is will be done in coordination with the european partners and if he decided to p.c. in london thank you very much. iraqi protesters a blocking roads and bridges in and around provinces up and down the country as they step up pressure on the government on monday security forces fired live rounds of demonstrators gathering near the state t.v. building the headquarters that could be at least 90 people the prime minister has called for an end to the bloodshed saying the protests have achieved the goals and

been damaging hurting because of me he said yesterday the tension am joins us live from baghdad natasha what have you been seeing there. peter what we're seeing is an escalation by protesters who say their demands have not been met they're going to continue mounting pressure on the government to step down what we're seeing from the government according to a political analyst i spoke to is one that according to him that is clinging to power and quote has not realized it's time it is in baghdad protesters are disrupting daily life 40 roads blocked by protesters as a result authorities have closed 4 primary bridges protesters have been gathering or attempting to gathering or around government buildings and that is where there have been clashes between protesters and security forces some of them deadly schools are closed courts are closed teachers and attorneys are on strike there are

a lot of students here in tahrir square there was an internet blackout for much of the night that lasted until this morning and there remains a social media blackout. how many people until she give us a sense supports the government because the government's promise is on record as saying look there will be change. peter what is clear is that the protesters believe there is still a very big divide between what they're doing mandate and what the government is offering although this protests or this revolution as they're calling it is leaderless on monday evening protesters issued demands from tahrir square they're saying that the government needs to step down immediately the parliament must be dissolved they're saying that this parliament is famous for quote election rigging they're saying that elections need to be scheduled a timeframe needs to be given and that an election committee needs to be selected

with the credentials not party affiliation in mind as you mentioned on thursday of last week the president announced the prime minister i don't love the way he would step down he did not say when he said only that a successor had to be named 1st did not the president did not say who exactly would select that person and of course protesters are saying they don't want anyone from the current government to be a part of any future government also what is happening today is that the constitutional committee has met for the 1st time and apparently this committee is beginning to work on amendments that would include transforming iraq's system of government from a parliamentary system to a presidential system it would also include problems moco provincial councils that protesters allege are hotbeds of corruption we've also been told by the president that work has begun on the draft of

a new election law and at some point it will be handed over to the parliament this week for its review but peter we have no idea just when is the next time the parliament will be in touch with thanks very much. turkey says it's kept to the sister of the ice a leader of a bucket and was killed last week during the raid by u.s. special forces in the northwest of syria she was arrested in the syrian town of azaz and is being interrogated along with her husband and daughter in law now the u.s. has now started the formal process of withdrawing from the paris climate a court the u.s. president all from announced his intention in 2017 but monday was the earliest he could legally make that move so what's the deal about well of course stopping world getting any warm up to do that country say they'll try to better control their greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide and methane as their concentration builds up in the upper atmosphere more heat is trapped the paris accord signatories except temperatures are already rising so they're aiming to limit that increase to

an average of 2 degrees celsius worldwide that of course costs money president trump says his country is being forced to foot too much of the bill let's talk to doug parr chief scientist at greenpeace u.k. he joins us from london dogpile welcome to news hour here on al-jazeera materially does this alter or degrade the battle against climate change. it's not a helpful step and it needs to be condemned the u.s. is a big emitter it's a rich emitter and it's much better if if all countries are playing their part in the entire process of getting the globe to being sirrah missions that said there are things about it that we can retain some positivity about so for example there are 22 the 50 states in the us who have got climate action plans those 550 cities will or who are doing so so in this sense trump does not

represent the entirety of the u.s. he represents the federal aspect of it which is which is really on a helpful let's let's not beat about the bush ok from a technical stance is there something therefore that the other countries can do in cahoots with if you will those bits of the u.s. that are carrying on doing this kind of thing i'm thinking about california perhaps that's one of the states they are at loggerheads with his drum thanks for that correction clarification is there something that that grouping can do to compensate for what mr trump is not doing. so what we're seeing is the emergence of groupings who are outside the the state operate to set the climate talks so for example to see 40 cities so linking up cities across the world to help each other in delivering 0 emissions or getting to cerevisiae is cutting emissions. those those cities work together because they can share expertise they can even share

purchasing power in some instances so you know these these networks are starting to about that are not state or sorry that not nation state actors so you know that things can be done to work around this so again i would emphasize this is really on the helpful it's not great but there are ways working around the federal the federal road block ok it's on healthful to people like greenpeace and the other countries the u.s. states with a small less we get that but what if mr trump is right you know he would say if he was sitting here he might say well hang on greenpeace i've got to look after my taxpayers i want to look after the people who put me into the oval office yeah and what if from a science point of view he's maybe not on message but from a being a politician he's absolutely on message. well 1st of all he's wrong on the science you know we do science becoming have a clearer that's why we see people who are getting to understand this stuff

themselves like the you know that the global school strike is the global extinction rebellion and so they're understanding this for themselves and realizing he's wrong but he's also wrong about the economics i mean let's understand what the trump administration is doing here it is actively preventing clean energy taking off when it's when it's more economic so he's not looking after the interests of his own taxpayers he's looking after the shareholders of fossil fuel companies he's doing that by for example freezing efficiency regulations which are known to from european experience to make things cheaper for consumers he's choosing to freeze. fuels fuel efficiency standards on because which has the same effect it makes cheap of the people to run uses less fossil fuel he's abandoning the clean power plant making it easier for coal fired power stations to keep going even when things like wind and solar now so cheap that they are cheaper than those those fossil alternatives he's getting in the way he's not just looking after the interests of

his own population economically ok we must look at the park thank you so much pleasure. still to come for you here on the news of the apparently explosive report into russian meddling allegations of in a crucial u.k. vote that no one is allowed apparently to see. also business is struggling 3 months after new delhi strips indian administered kashmir of its autonomy and in sports news washington national stock purchases you can get more money bargained for when he and the rest of his world series winning team visit the white house. britain's governing conservative party is being accused of suppressing what's described as a coach potentially explosive for a port into alleged russian meddling in the 2016 e.u. referendum the prime minister boris johnson is under pressure to release the report

before the general election is held on december the 12th. factions are keen to avoid any suggestion that the u.k.'s divorce in the e.u. was triggered unfairly the country did vote narrowly in favor of leaving the e.u. 52 to 48 percent back in 2016 jamaal is in hollow in the northeast of london jamal who's making these accusations and how toxic are they. well the very significant bits of say the least these are essentially allegations that have come about from the intelligence and security committee that's what established to investigate foreign influence in truth trying to 16 referendum particularly focusing on the role of russia according to that investigation they identified that there was a stream of money that was being delivered through different figures either within the wooden conservative part 2 or 3 goes through were the forefront of the leave

campaign so although they were these donations came through legitimate means in the sense that for example one of them was. a payment of almost $200000.00 by the wife of the deputy finance minister of russia troops played tennis with then. prime minister cameron as well as boris johnson at a fund raising event but the fact that there was so many of these similar donations that were being made by figures close to the kremlin truth senior conservative party figures as well as as i say those pushing for. that says that through the investigation or at least the committee that was investigating this issue to believe that there was some sort of influence however we're not quite sure exactly through all the details behind this because what has happened is the intelligence and security committee has prepared their findings they then presented it to the

prime minister for downing street then to make it public however despite this investigation or the findings of it being presented on the 17th of october till today the prime minister has refused to do that downing street sees that there's no foul play but there is a process that needs to happen for this these findings to be released however critics say actually there was enough time for that process to be taken and the only reason it is not. being released now is it will be so damning 3 specific figures namely for example prime minister burris johnson who is implicated with a man named surrogate. bin who is believed to be cross with the russian intelligence agency pictured with boris johnson when he was mayor of london who described him as a close friend of russia and that the reason why downing street doesn't want to release this is because it would be so damning just ahead of these coming general elections in a few weeks time and given that the vote the original vote was so close and the

atmosphere is still so feeble 52 to 483 years ago if the government goes down the road of transparency the people who want remain to win i will say will hang on they might say well hang on the original vote was there for a known vote and on top of that relations with russia would suffer if they publish it i'm thinking about the soul spree chemical attack on 2 people who were poisoned but happened what a year ago now. of course i mean the issue of russian meddling but also generally foreign interference within the domestic affairs and british politics has been an issue that is. causing greater and greater attention not just in the media but obviously by the public as well as obviously politicians while concerned about the impact it has had but beyond that peter obviously there is also still that massive divide that has been caused by the regs

for random and what has happened since then the fact that there was no clarity in what to break that exactly in men's the fact that there were certain promises made in terms of what's a break that would deliver in terms of the livelihood of people where there was this 350000000 a week pumped into the national health service here or other things which then later turned out to not to be accurate so that's all being played into these coming elections in fact that's the reason why you were having these elections in the united kingdom and i'm actually here at a rally or press conference that's going to be held by the main opposition leader jeremy organ in just a few moments where he's going to outline his plan to deliver brags it's going to talk about sorting out the mess as he says within 6 months and what's significant here is that what the labor party intends to do if it is elected in power is essentially 1st to renegotiate a deal with europe and then rather than having that tried to be pushed through

parliament where we've seen over the past year or so difficulties in trying to find some sort of consensus they will then put that on a ballot paper in another referendum whereby there will be true choices for the people either the deal that who are in and his government are able to negotiate with europe or to remain. in that essential choice here is what the labor party is saying was missing in the 2016 referendum because nobody. really understood what regs it meant so it was either leave but what does that mean what costs what we where do we just person give up or gain or remain where is this new referendum with the have a clear a deal where people would know exactly what they'd be voting for jamal will come back in a couple of hours i'm sure the meantime many thanks for the chinese president xi jinping has put his support of hong kong's leader on show during a surprise meeting in shanghai mr she met kerri lamb on the sidelines of a trade event on monday he expressed

a high degree of trust in hong kong's leadership over her government's ability to tackle months of antigovernment protests demonstrations in hong kong began in june over a plan to allow extraditions to mainland china catarina new has more from beijing. carolan met the xi jinping on the sidelines of a big international trade expo that's happening this week and they had what was really a very positive meeting now this follows 5 months of term more and increasingly violent protests in hong kong this has been a big source of concern and embarrassment from beijing but there was no sense at all of any reprimand or any displeasure from xi jinping to carry lamb in fact he expressed a high degree of trust and confidence in him government and acknowledged all the hard work that should been putting in to really try and calm the situation now this seems to really be a message from xi jinping to the people of hong kong and the rest of the world that carry land is there to stay as the leader of hong kong and that really puts to rest

some speculation that beijing were preparing to replace or as a leader as early as the beginning of next year now many in hong kong are really going to be unhappy at this meeting and they're going to see really it as further proof that kerry land is little more than a puppet of the government of beijing and president xi jinping ended his musing with caroline to say you know we really want you to continue these discussions with the people of hong kong to improve their lives which reflects what the communist party here believe about the protests that they're not about wanting more democracy they're not even political the really just about the frustrations of the people in hong kong about lack of work opportunities about the lack of things like affordable housing and beijing is hoping and they do believe that once those issues are addressed that these protests will start to peter around still to come here on the news outlets and will join us with the world where the shortly and then. details from a pitch but inquiry including why a u.s.

now it's been 3 months since new delhi has stripped indian administered kashmir of its autonomy it said the decision would development in the region but many kashmiris say they've lost an entire summer of income from tourism and they've no idea how the government plans to turn things around for reports now from seneca indian administered kashmir biggest city. is said to have described it as a perfect place to meditate maybe it was because of its serene lakes but since the indian government asked all tourists to evacuate the valley in august the place hasn't been very calm. shock at the monograms one of the most popular houseboat on the water. this summer it's been empty. at least half the people living in the valley depend on tourism and hospitality and many have suffered heavy losses since

new delhi's decision very one or 2 planes we shot at says although the government says it wants to develop the region what business is needed is to belittle what development really is needed and that then they are storing peace in kashmir that's the 1st and foremost element required. mark is a favorite spot for indians travelling to escape high temperatures it's hotels are usually overbooked during the festival season but this year there were hardly any to race. but his now spending his days playing cricket he's worried that even the winter when skiers from around the world usually arrive. the same but his biggest fear is that well the indian investors will come to and buy up the land. the indian government doesn't want anyone to come here they want the people of kashmir to suffer so much that the last thing they have their land they sell the land to feed their families. land is at the heart of the dispute between

kashmiris and the indian government the indian government says it is working on a 15 year development plan for indian oddness of the suite which will change the face of the reason but so far nothing has happened and many of the sleaze see it as a land grab. at the moment the president of the chamber of commerce says the businesses have lost billions of dollars over the last 3 months and new delhi should help. local people. they should be given preference everywhere in. the real development happens. on monday a grenade was thrown in a vegetable market in srinagar indian at. city killing one person and injuring 15 it was the 3rd such attack in 2 weeks many kashmiris say any development can only succeed if new delhi takes the right political steps to make sure the violence and

its. streets indianapolis to push me. joining us here in the. joy of the quarter is a journalist who joins us from new delhi mr welcome to al-jazeera the government's official line is we have eased some of the restrictions has it those restrictions. not really there are many restrictions that continue the use of the internet the use of well mobile phones you can use certain kinds of depends on your subscription if you have a prepaid subscription you can't use it if you have a postpaid subscription yes you can use it 'd the internet as facilities are not absolutely free as of now short messages are not instantly available the supreme court of india here in new delhi is also hearing the case so the situation is

actually far from normal as the government would like us to believe as i just reported to you the economy is in a pretty bad shape in the kashmir valley it's not just the tourism business that is really in doldrums apennines you know on. the apple business the apple trade has suffered a report suggests that well about one 3rd at least one 3rd of the apples have not been sold and the kashmir valley depends a lot are not just the apple trade as you have already mentioned the tourism business there was supposed to be this big investor summit in october ok that hasn't happened so let me turn to you for a 2nd reason we want to. when you write your investigative pieces of what happened 3 months ago or indeed about broader questions laid at the door of the indian government if you will for you is this about changing the demographic of this area

or is it just about bringing benefits to the area that in the future everyone will enjoy. you know it's very difficult question that you have a sense of it's early days the undivided state of jump and push me it was kind of it could be subdivided into 3 segments you had the general region which was a hindu majority area the valley which was muslim majority and you also had the dock area. area which was fairly large section of goodness and muslims so the northernmost point in india was really a muslim majority state if you put it all together but now that state is divided into 2 union territories now what kind of a demographic change would happen is difficult to for see you know. it is a very complex state i mean there are charges leveled on all sides of ethnic

cleansing this way or that way but it's early days to predict what would happen and in my opinion and this is my personal opinion i feel that this is going to be a conflict zone for a long time to come i hope i'm wrong i hope that this place doesn't become the equivalent of india's palestine but at one level you are fucking ston you have the taliban 'd active and you also have on the other side a part of what you say is pakistan that mr ward this is pakistan occupied kashmir just very very early going to ask you one last. question please when you talk big big issues of course those are claims that you are making and within the context of our conversation we can't substantiate those however some kashmiris are on record talking about as journalists talking about as bloggers are saying look you have to go back to the early 1930 s. when there was the uprising against the doe grow community the dog groups so-called

to get something that is that significant in comparison to what we're seeing today do you think what we're seeing today is step change and it will run and run or it will eventually go back to what it was. you know it's a very difficult question has a very long and a complex is it's a very ready i mean they're not dozens of books that have been written on the subject it's difficult in a few minutes to summarize all that is but the point is and that's what is most important will there be peace in the question a value that's the big question will there be you know absence of violence in utah right now we've got a bunch of european members of the european parliament who have gone on an informal visit many of them belong to you know sort of right wing organizations but indian members of parliament the of the opposition haven't been able to get their journalists are not all feed to report exactly the way they want to i mean there are restrictions on on on transmission of messages almost 200 political

leaders of russia made including 3 former chief ministers including one former chief minister with whom the party in the party which is ruling in delhi had an association they are under house arrest so i under this situation how things will play out and how important history would be in shaping the future is not a very very easy question to onside mean that's a very very tough question to answer i mean the very very little plug situation will have to leave our conversation. the great to talk to you sir thank you so much . the u.s. appeals court has ordered donald trump to hand over 8 years of tax returns to prosecutors in new york the ruling allows prosecutors to enforce a subpoena for the documents from mr trump's accounting company trump has tried to prevent the release of his tax information as part of an investigation into alleged pre-election payoffs the president says they will appeal against the decision to the supreme court another challenge for mr trump as the impeachment inquiry in

washington moves on a pace u.s. president mr trump again is insisting he never overstepped his presidential powers that's a message he took to supporters in kentucky where he criticized those investigating his actions are kimberly hellcat was there. it's a rural southern state known for its love of raising and racing prized horses in 2016 voters in kentucky voted overwhelmingly for donald trump who has descended on this state in advance of local elections hello kentucky where the 2020 presidential election is a year away but kentucky is one of a handful of u.s. states holding an off year vote kentucky's republican governor is struggling so truck is campaigning on his behalf but there's another reason trumps here gauge just how much the impeachment inquiry is hurting him outside washington. as the

impeachment inquiry continues to divide americans from supporters insist he's done nothing wrong and the investigations politically motivated by democrats. will lead to the. i would call going to. i think it's. a publicist for democrats to try to stretch it out to make the president look worse than it actually is but as democrats back in washington released transcripts of closed door testimony of troubled ministration officials alleging presidential wrongdoing trump is attacking the democrats backing the investigation house intelligence committee chair adam schiff and speaker nancy pelosi. we're the last week the far left has declared war on american democracy itself these people are lunatics trumps allies in congress

are also discrediting the whistleblower who complained about his july 25th phone call with the ukrainian president prompting the impeachment investigation pushing for the whistleblower to be exposed by the media i say deny to the media do your job and print is. tuesday's vote here in kentucky will be an important task for president trump he's determined to show that his presence is a political asset in local races will also underscore again peace with inquiry will not hurt his own reelection chances can really help at al jazeera lexington kentucky. there's been violence at a funeral procession for anti-government protest as in guinea witnesses say police fired on crowds killing 3 people the west african nation has seen weeks of protests against the president has to change the constitution and seek a 3rd term in office under schapelle has the story. right after.
