a standing order. iran's president has announced another significant step away from the 2015 nuclear deal also rouhani says from wednesday iran will start injecting uranium gas into more than a 1000 centrifuges that process was abandoned the agreement but rouhani did not say whether it will be used to enrich uranium runs gradually been shutting its commitments to the unraveling deal on monday announced its doubling the number of advanced centrifuges so those will reduce the time iran needs to build up enough material to develop a nuclear bomb if it chose to move as of now iran isn't rich in more purifying uranium up to 4.5 percent to help generate nuclear power that's above the 3.6 percent allowed under the nuclear deal but well below weapons grade levels of 90 percent but are on starting to push enrichment back up to 21st. which technically
2:02 pm
is only a short step from 90 the country's leaders say the nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes it's cross over now to tehran word source that dorsetshire party joins us live. or on a seems to have been inching inching towards this how significant is this move. well is quite significant that's because this nuclear facility is the only place in iran where they can enrich up to 20 percent enriched uranium this facility has been a point of contention with the international community since it was announced that it was of its existence in 2009 and president hassan rouhani is wary very well aware of that fact as well he made this announcement earlier this morning let's hear some of what he had to say. more 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
2:03 pm
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. what this means is that the future of this so-called j c p a way that's the nuclear agreement extending bleaker and bleaker with each step that iran takes this is the 4th that they've taken so far since may of this year that's when president hassan rouhani said that because the united states withdrew from this deal and imposed a series of new sanctions on iran the european signatories that are left are not complying with the steal and until that happens iran will continue to take these measures to get back its nuclear program on track and to make up for the last times of the past 4 years since they decided the greed to slow it down because of this deal the president was adamant that they are still in this agreement but it's really up to the europeans to the side whether or not the steel has a future all right or sort of our live in tehran door so thank you say busy breezy
2:04 pm
is research fellow at well united services institute she explains why iran has taken the steps. reasons rationale behind iran's behavior as being clear seems many. decided to take the steps of because they are not able to have the oil or to be connected to the financial system and they have been saying that if they are not able to sell their oil or to get the benefit of the transaction we did little credential system there is no benefit for data to remain at party often cardio and death have been trying to push 3 in particular but also russia and china to find a way to basically offset impact of u.s. sanctions but as of now 66 months after you run maybe is announcement there has been still no change in the situation arche protesters are blocking roads and
2:05 pm
bridges in baghdad and provinces elsewhere as they step up pressure on the government on monday security forces fired live rounds at demonstrators gather near the state television headquarters killing at least 5 people prime minister has called for an end to the bloodshed saying the protesters have achieved their goals and they are now hurting the economy and tashi good name has more from back that. 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 what they missed 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 affiliation the president has announced the prime minister i don't i don't but he would resign once a successor was made he did not give a timetable for that were indicate word for lack of you know by now after the
2:06 pm
president has also said that a new election law is going to be drafted a new election. maybe it 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 is tied up that it wants to cling to power and protesters are flat out 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 their demands are going to be back on the u.s.
2:07 pm
has begun the formal process of withdrawing from the paris climate accord president onil trump announced his intention to do that in 2017 but monday was the earliest he could legally make that move so what's the deal about stopping orel from getting warmer and to do that country say they'll try to better control their greenhouse gas emissions like carbon dioxide and methane as a concentration of those gases build up in the atmosphere more heat is trapped the paris accord signatories except temperatures already rising so they're aiming to limit that increase to an average of 2 degrees celsius worldwide this of course costs money and president trump says his country the u.s. is being forced to foot too much of the bill. 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 0 emissions
2:08 pm
that said there are things about it that we can retain some positivity about so for example there are 22 of the 50 states in the u.s. who have got climate action plans this 550 cities or a war 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 unhelpful let's let's not beat about the bush so what we're seeing is the emergence of groupings who are outside the the state operate to set the of the climate talks for example to see 40 cities so linking up cities across the world to help each other in delivering 0 emissions or getting to syria missions cussing 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 develop that are not state or sorry they're not nation state actors so
2:09 pm
you know things can be done to work around base and is top court has summoned regional leaders demanding answers to the country's air pollution crisis air quality improved slightly since yesterday but it's still sitting at hazardous levels the supreme court is the kids stayed governments are failing to take effective action against scrub burning and other polluting practices the capital new delhi is now restricting cars and diverting flights. that his presidential campaign has put his support of hong kong's leader on show during a surprise meeting in shanghai she met kerry lamb on the sidelines of a trade event on monday expressed a high degree of trust in hong kong's leader for her government's ability to tackle months of anti-government protests or tests in hong kong began in june over a plan to allow extraditions to mainland china. during a very short meeting with preston seeking peace he expressed caring concern about
2:10 pm
hong kong especially given the disturbances that we have seen in the last 5 months and he expressed support for the various actions taken by the hong kong special ministry of the region government and we will continue to do so in strict accordance with the principle of one country 2 systems up holding the rule for the law and trying to put an end to the violence that we have seen in the last few months. 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 turmoil 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 land 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
2:11 pm
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 that to stay as the leader of hong kong and that really puts to rest some speculation that they 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 than 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
2:12 pm
addressed that these protests will start to peter around still ahead on al-jazeera the apparently explosive report into russian meddling in a crucial u.k. vote that the public is unable to see also businesses struggling 3 months after new delhi stripped and in administered kashmir of its autonomy. relatively dry spell of weather across japan at the moment lost the clear skies big area of high pressure has i see much going on it will be settled in sunny for much of japan for the korean peninsula both east and parts of china as well so 20 celsius there the top temperature in tokyo in the sunshine on wednesday same with temperatures to go one in 2 with the bit just nudges a little low clouds slogging through the east china sea pushing across south korea
2:13 pm
and on into the sea of japan honshu generally try and clear and sunny but we have got some cloudy skies gradually pushing across into her cot i not see much cloud across southern parts of china at the moment the main weather action really out into the south china sea you can see this circulation just swirling away here bringing some big down pulls into the philippines for much of central and southern china well the warm sunshine hong kong still getting up to around 29 celsius so what is out there eli fresh day for the philippines it brings in some very heavy rain there is the risk of some flooding here as we go on through the next couple of days that whets weather will nudge over towards central and southern parts of vietnam will see some showers there into the fall south of india china and 10 again kristie wet for a good part time and. i

2:15 pm
protesters are blocking roads and bridges in the capital baghdad and several provinces as they step up pressure on the government on monday security forces fired live rounds at demonstrators gathered near the state television headquarters killing at least the all. the u.s. has formally begun withdrawing from the paris climate agreement president obama announced as intention to do that in 2017 but monday was the earliest he can legally make that. britain's conservative can governing conservative party rather has been accused of suppressing what's described as a potentially explosive report until lunch russian meddling in the 2016 a referendum by minister boris johnson is under pressure to release that report before elections which are december 12th or bracks that factions are keen to avoid any suggestion that the u.k.'s divorce from the e.u. was triggered unfairly the country voted narrowly in favor of departing 52 to 48 percent in 2016 jamal scholl is in east of london so jamal where do things stand
2:16 pm
with the public getting to see this report. well right now they won't be seeing gets or at least they won't be seeing gets and so off to the election a decision that was described by the chair of the intelligence or security committee is draw dropping because he doesn't understand why you are how a number 10 the prime minister's office is blocking the release of this report when there is enough time for procedural. issues to be followed in order for the public to see its now why is this so critical because according to what we understand some of the findings of the investigation approach through specific individuals with russian connections or russian officials themselves spending money in terms of donations to the conservative party having close links with senior figures not just in the governing conservative party but also in figures that were behind the leave
2:17 pm
campaign that was the campaign that was pushing for britain to exit from the european union so you have for example the wife of the. deputy finance minister russian finance minister who was had spent roughly about $200000.00 as a fund raising event for the conservative party to play tennis with a wonderful from a front for the family. currently on the policy johnson is one of our the number of times is the only reason why it hasn't released it isn't that it's trying to cover up its will because there is no time to follow procedure however those who have been close to the investigation say that actually this findings were submitted on the 17th of october and therefore giving enough time to research on the reason why i don't know if it's a liberation or negative damage to the conservative party leading up to the coming elections i jamal let's let the viewers in on the applause they were hearing on labor leader of the opposition leader jeremy corbyn has just started speaking where
2:18 pm
you are what do we expect to hear from him. so he's going to outline his vision and his party's vision essentially fixing gregg's it for britain will be saying that within 6 months of coming to power if the people of the united kingdom vote for him and his party that he will have renegotiated in a new deal with the european union one that protects workers' rights as well as. the progress that's been made in terms of environmental issues and so forth and that this new deal would be put onto a ballot paper for a 2nd referendum whereby the trace would be between 2 things either the deal that a labor government would have been able to achieve in terms of negotiating with the european union or to remain and what's significant about this rachel is obviously that a lot of the criticism that's been leveled over the past 3 years with regard to the break that referendum has been that the idea of what briggs it's exactly meant was
2:19 pm
not clear to the voter or that the voters were misled as to what it would mean so for example there were promises made by then lead champion boris johnson in front of that big red bus that there would be $350000000.00 pounds a week spent on the national health service if briggs it was secure at something that has since transpired to be essentially a lie so what the labor leaders are saying is that he will actually try and give some sort of view or an idea or a vision as to what it would mean and then the people would have their final fame up there for solitude for trouble because that in the process you had lost that parliament for a 1000000000 for the profit in a half years whereby no clear majority has been attained in order to agree on a specific deal and also takes that whole no deal idea of the table the idea that britain could leave the european union without having reached some sort of an agreement so this is the major sense of what he will be outlining in the next few
2:20 pm
moments right now i shall live for us air and arlo ok thank you. and lebannon continue to block roads as protests there entered the 20th day despite the prime minister handing in his resignation last week there's been no sign of progress toward an agreement on a new government. 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 just open the road you can see a lot of frustration here on the drivers. orders being given by the army commanders . this highway's been backed up all the way. trying to. the protesters are putting their hands up shouting peaceful religion.
