a tech giants plan to spend billions on affordable housing. for european rugby champions saracens have been found guilty of breaching salary cap regulations english team have been docked $35.00 points and fined $5.00 to $7000000.00. our top story iran taking another step away from the 2050 nuclear deal has some rouhani says the country is about to start injecting your raney in gas into more than $1000.00 centrifuges it's the latest fallout from the u.s. decision to pull out of the agreement last year and as dosage body explains it's likely to put more pressure on the deal's remaining signatures. president hassan rouhani arrived at this factory in tehran for an inauguration ceremony but he used to turn around iran's 4th and most significant step in scaling

back its commitment to the 2015 nuclear deal more as fire 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. the for don't you clear facility is the only place where iran can and has produced 20 percent enriched uranium that's considered an important stage towards developing uranium with the potential for a nuclear weapon it has always been a controversial facility its existence was revealed to the world by iran in 2009 that was after the united states intelligence agencies alleged that there was a secret nuclear facility in iran and the president acknowledged that there are sensitivities surrounding the plant. this may increase concerns we know people are

sensitive about a quarter when it centrifuges but whatever they uphold their commitments we will reverse our steps. under the nuclear deal of 2015 for doe had become solely a research facility it was one of the most contentious points of the joint comprehensive plan of action or a agreed with world powers to limit iran's nuclear program since the united states withdrew from the deal in may of 2013 and imposed the series of new sanctions on iran officials here decided to gradually reduce their compliance and have been saying that if they are not able to sell their oil or to get the benefit of the transaction with the global financial system there is no benefit for data to remain a party of the new cardio that to president rouhani declaring in may that every 60 days iran will announce another step until the remaining european signatories uphold there and of the. this latest announcement will have serious consequences

for iran and officials here are very aware of that but president rouhani has stressed that all these measures are reversible as soon as the european signatories of the deal so for compliance until then iran will continue to take these steps while the international community continues its condemnations north of. tehran. ok let's take a look at what these recent increases in advanced centrifuges actually mean they will reduce the time iran needs to build up enough material to develop a nuclear bomb if it chooses to do that as of now iran is enriching or purifying uranium up to 4.5 percent to help generate nuclear power that's above the 3.6 percent allowed under the deal but well below weapons grade levels of 90 percent however iran's threaten to push enrichment back up to 20 percent which scientifically and technically is only a short step away from 90 the country's leaders say the nuclear program is only for

peaceful purposes only jeremiah is deputy head of the middle east and north africa program at the european council on foreign relations she joins us now from london elie jeremih welcome to the news hour can this decision by the iranians actually be reversed. well that's certainly what president rouhani has claimed now one of the things that i would point out new reports is there is that president rouhani this morning didn't actually now what type of gas is going to be transmitted into the centrifuges at cordele facility it will be up to the international monitoring agency the i.a.e.a. to report on this and their findings will be made available in private to members of this deal in the coming weeks ahead and so that will really define to what extent iran has actually stepped out of the commitments out of the me play deal and

to what extent they can be reversible what iran is certainly saying that it is with percival and in my view that's an indication that this is a measure are intended to crush of the europeans and the united states to provide iran with some economic relief the full iran begins to take more drastic measures when you talk about drastic measures are those i guess numbering some of the big unknowns here. well you mentioned that iran is still and reaching below this 5 percent threshold of enrichment and so you know in the past iranian officials have threatened to go up to above 20 percent threshold that would indeed be a ring significant alarm bells here in european capitals also remember that iran has currently given full access to international monitors to come and verify a report on his behavior and if it was to kick those inspectors out in defiance of

the new that again would be another tracksuits that so i think we're now still we are seeing you're on you know certainly these are these are steps that will really frustrates at present dire lemme sickly for the europeans but in my view we're not seeing steps that are going to significantly alter this so-called breakout capability that it takes where iran to access one you know bomb if it chooses to do so what if the trumpet ministration decides this is a red line well the top administration actually stepped out of this deal long time ago so it can impose its red lines on the remaining parties of this deal of course the united states has always said that the military option is on the table but for now iran is taking a gamble based on the events of the recent months to say that this trumpet miss ration doesn't want to engage itself in another military confrontation in the

region and i think the focus will now be in the relationship between the european countries i'm iran to try and find some sort of formula that keeps the cornerstones of this still alive at least until the next u.s. elections. jeremiah thank you very much. iraqi protesters a blocking roads and bridges in baghdad and elsewhere in the country as they step up pressure on the government on monday the security forces fired long runs at demonstrations gathering near the state t.v. headquarters killing at least 5 people the prime minister has called for an end to the bloodshed saying the protests of achieve the goals and hurting the economy the talks are going to more from. 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 do you 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 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 word indicate word for lack of a new minute after the president has also set a new election law it 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 their demands are going to be back. demonstrators in lebanon continue to block roads as protests enter day 20 despite the prime minister handing in his resignation last week there's been no sign of progress towards an agreement on a new government stuff and he is in deep 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 just open the road you can see a lot of frustration here on the drivers. there's orders being given by the army commanders. this highway's been backed up all the

way to. try to hurt. the protesters are putting their hands up shouting peaceful. 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. the situation that we're in isn't normal protesting and we support your places to allow people to access hospitals for children texas schools the government is losing

millions of dollars and then what do you think about corrupt governments of that's what's happening i hope the army wants to open the road by force. that's wrong. with the revolution the army. the roadblocks that were in place now over. they will come back to the street because. there's no political movement and. keep the pressure on the government. plenty more ahead here on the news including the apparently explosive report into allegations of russian meddling in a crucial u.k. vote the vote that no one is allowed to see. also business is struggling 3 months after new delhi strict indian administered kashmir. overshadowed by an animal cruelty scandal details coming up in about 30.

britons governing conservative party is being accused of suppressing a report into alleged russian meddling in the 2016 easy referendum u.k. prime minister boris johnson is under pressure to release the report before elections are held on december the 12th pro breaks that factions are keen to avoid any suggestion that the u.k. is divorced from the e.u. was triggered unfairly the country voted narrowly in favor of leaving the e.u. by 52 to 48 percent. isn't hollow where the main labor opposition leader jeremy corbyn has been speaking today but 1st let's go to who's in london and how much trouble is the government over this report over this report. well peter they're coming under a lot of pressure to get it published ahead of parliament being dissolved later today the head of the security committee which has put this investigation together

is likely to table a question in the commons later this afternoon we understand the report we don't know the full contents looks that alleged interference in the run up to the 2017 general election in the u.k. and then also the 2017 referendum on the u.k.'s membership to the e.u. and of course that has been controversial ever since but there's a real desire for the government to get the report published not just from opposition m.p.'s but from across the house and also the lords as well members of the house of lords britain's upper chamber but also from former security officials who say there is really no reason as to why this has not come out yet and that is because it has passed every security measure that it needs to go through we understand that the the report went to downing street on october the 17th and usually takes about 10 days we understand for those reports to be published but as yet there is no sign of this report and i guess for the opposition heading into an election campaign if boris johnson isn't seen to address the issue and address it

wholly and properly that's kind of a an open goal for them perhaps. yes it would be an interesting to see whether they actually backed down and published a report that sort of thing that has to go through due process and being quite defensive ministers michael gove was speaking on the radio earlier saying they're not trying to sit on anything but i think each party at this crucial stage needs to be transparent don't know and they will need to try and show transparency on this otherwise they could face further accusations of trying to cover something up and thanks very much. as we were saying northeast of london following journey called in iran today i mean labor party opposition leader jamal what's he been saying. well peter he's unveiled his party's plan to sort out brig's it's as he puts it within 6 months of coming to power if he was and his party was elected in the

upcoming general elections what's interesting here peter is that he chose to tackle this issue prior to unveiling his party's manifesto going into that vote and what he's saying is that essentially brags that as much as it's divided the country it is being a distraction from the day to day issues that most working class people in the united kingdom are struggling with in terms of low wages in terms of housing here's a little of what you had to say. if you're living here. but. you've got bills to you've got rising you work. your way in some. straight line. you're up against. it so that he will go crazy. it's more like you go. you go. go right now

work. and your wages very strong. but. between you and me both are in holland very much you know you're not thinking about it. so what he's been saying essentially peter is that briggs it has been a distraction and months he will do if he's elected is that he is going to firstly scrap the deal that boris johnson and the conservatives have managed to partially push through parliament he will really go see it's a new deal with the europeans and then he will give the final say to the people in another referendum now in that referendum you'll have the choice between a briggs's deal detailed in what exactly that would mean or to remain and that he says is the only way that the country can move forward from what has been a very very divisive discussion over the past 3 and a half years when the election was unknowns to

a week 10 days ago now mr coleman went on television and said look i will bring you and give you the most radical election campaign that you've seen for a political generation on the part of his labor party is that how it's shaping up to a thing. for sure i mean those messages in terms of rather call progressive and so forth once in a lifetime once in a generation all of these were being used by the labor leader in this speech as well as by the local candidates who is contesting this what used to be a conservative stronghold seats and the idea that corporate is trying to push is that listen yes briggs it has been the headline for the past few years however there are real issues that really need to be discussed be it the national health service and the threats being posed by a tory government or conservative government that could very well sell its off to

the united states as many media outlets have been reporting whether it is the declining to infrastructure in terms of roads rails and railway system and others or whether it. it is about the general poverty that has come as a result of the austerity measures that have been incurred have been introduced under the conservative court really saying we've had more than 10 years of a conservative government here it is time for a new approach and that approach is one that he says would put the interests of the working class the interests of the many ahead of the interests of the billionaires and millionaires the interests of the few. thank you the u.s. has started the formal process of withdrawing from the paris climate accord president trump announced his intention in 2017 but monday was the earliest date he could legally make the move so what's the deal about well clearly stopping the world from getting any warmer to do that country say they'll try to better control their greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide and methane as the

concentration of those gases builds up in the atmosphere more heat is trapped the peris of course in the trees except temperatures are already rising so they're aiming to limit that increase to an average of 2 degrees celsius worldwide this of course costs lots of money mr trump says his country has been forced for too much of the big bill doug parker is chief scientist a greenpeace u.k. he explained the consequences of the us pulling out of the paris agreement. 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 abandoning the clean power plant and 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 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 in the entire process of getting the globe to being 0 emissions 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 there's 550 cities 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 unhelpful let's let's not beat about the bush things can be done to work around this so i again i would emphasize this is really on the helpful it's not great but there are ways of

working around the federal the federal road block. now it's been 3 months since the government in new delhi stripped indian administered kashmir of its or tommy and said the decision would assure in development in the region that many kashmiris say they've lost an entire summer of income from tourism and they have no idea how the government plans to turn things around for reports now from sri lanka india administered kashmir as 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 moment runs one of the most popular houseboat on the waters of. 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 their reasoning what businesses need is to belittle what development really is needed other than storing peace in kashmir that's the 1st and foremost element required. good 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 development plan for indianapolis this week which will change the face of the reason but so far nothing has happened and many facilities 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. on monday a grenade was thrown in a vegetable market in srinagar india that mr 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. and his top court has summoned regional leaders demanding answers to the country's pollution crisis call that improved slightly since yesterday but is still sitting hazardous levels the supreme court has accused the governments of failing to take effective action against scrub burning and other polluting practices the capital new delhi is now restricting cars and diverting some flights ok time for weather here's. everton everton what's the latest on that smoke situation in new delhi well as you said pater there has been a slight improvement the winds have picked up so that's helping and call it good news there is going to be some rain as we go on through the last part of the way but don't break out the bunting just yet because we do still have awful conditions and those conditions do remain hazardous see the circulation in the arabian sea has been making its way further east was last just been given a squeeze on the other winds there and that's helped to where pick up the other the

visibilities and clear the air somewhat over the past few hours as we go on through the next couple of days we are going to see that system continue to drive its way towards follow this line of play out and rain right up towards the far north of india that's going to continue making its way further research you can see how the wind areas start to gather themselves so the winds will continue to pick up and then as we go through thursday on into friday we go we may well see some of that much needed rainfall coming through and that could help to wash out some of those pollutants so that will add to some benefit it is of course the smoke season so it's really just a brief rest by but at least that's going to be something of an improvement for the time being a little further a source with keeping an eye on this area cloud out into the south china seas that may well develop into a tropical storm and make its way towards vietnam peter. thanks very much still to come here on the news hour how a funeral procession in guinea descended into violence as security forces

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. i think it's. a publicist for democrats to trying 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

sports. thank you very much european rugby champion saracens have been found guilty of breaching salary cap regulations the english team have been docked $35.00 points and far and close to $7000000.00 while investigation found the premiership title holders had failed to disclose play apartments for the last 3 seasons teams in the english league are limited to spending no $1000000.00 on planned salaries to season and 8 of the current england squad that recently off the south africa in the world cup final play for the club saracens have said they will appeal r k we can talk top sports correspondent lee wellings in london don't $35.00 points lay far in 7000000 dollars house of a is this punishment for saracens. this is an unprecedented punishment in terms of its severity and the shock waves it will send for english rugby and european rugby we're talking about the champions of england the champions of europe the most

successful team over the past decade saying that provided around a 3rd of the england world cup squad that's just played in the world cup final in japan and lost to south africa so this is a very very successful club who say they are devastated by what's happened here and it's crucial that they said straight away they would appeal and they would have a root chance in this appeal where you can sense the door is open for them to try and do that because this punishment which leaves them in an extraordinary position of minus 26 in the table it doesn't reflect well on science is it doesn't reflect well at all on english rugby to have their champions in that position the team that's one of these silverware being accused of cheating doesn't reflect well so can saracens come back from this if they don't win the appeal well they'd be in danger of relegation and you might lose the huge club from the english premiership but what the bosses of english rugby have done here is said we will not tolerate any breach of salary cap regulations at all where they are saracens or not they
