are honest taking further steps away from the 2015 nuclear deal and will soon start activating its uranium enrichment facility sometime on wednesday it's expected to start pumping gas into centrifuges that are an underground area near the city of qom the u.s. has called the move a big step in the wrong direction and the e.u. says it is concerned for more on this story let's go to al-jazeera store safari who is in tehran so. iran has been very open about the fact they were going to do this and now they are. yes certainly we've been hearing from the spokesperson of iran's atomic energy organization the who's kemo bandy who was speaking on state t.v. here and he said that this process has begun that they have transferred 2000 kilograms of gas from the no ten's nuclear facility to fordo

plants let's hear some of what he had to say. on the earlier today 2000 kilograms of you have 6 was delivered to ford a nucleus sought under the supervision of all speak to the restarting of centrifuges from take a few well as and from but not the process of injecting new ronnie and gas into the him will begin 1st what are the broader implications of this well it means that really this says so-called way of 2015 is. really nonexistence at this stage a very few people are actually abiding by it all parties seem to be pointing the fingers at each other since the united states left this nuclear deal last year and imposed a series of new sanctions on iran their remaining european signatories that's germany france and britain have said that they want iran to return to full

compliance under this deal but the iranians are saying look the united states withdrew and you guys are not upholding their and the deal so every 60 days we're going to reduce our commitments and this one is the most significant one yet because fordo facilities the only one in iran that has the capabilities of 'd uranium at 20 percent under the nuclear deal this facility became the research one it was not active and as of today that has changed and the president has said that all these steps are reversible if the european signatories show full compliance so really it's very very difficult to see a future of for this deal because all parties seem to be blaming each other for not complying with it are dorsetshire with the latest from tehran or so thank you. we're getting reports of confrontations between iraqi security forces and anti-government protesters in baghdad overnight in karbala one person was killed and 7 injured or even weeks of demonstrations calling on the government to step down a minister and he has tonight he is trying to stand how irritating his call for politicians

to find their replacement and a statement the u.s. embassy in baghdad contend condemned the violence saying this it is increasingly clear that the government of iraq and the country's political leaders must engage seriously and urgently with the rocky citizens who are demanding reform we deplore the killing and kidnapping of unarmed protesters threats to freedom of expression and the cycle of violence taking place rocky's must be free to make their own choices about the future of the nation meanwhile you report says iraqi security forces are committing severe human rights violations the latest report indicates a demonstration related violence from the 25th of october to november 4th caused at least $97.00 further deaths and thousands of injuries well the iraqi security officials could displayed more restraint that in previous protests earlier in october particularly in baghdad the unlawful use of lethal and less lethal weapons

by security forces and armed people requires urgent attention. and how she can amos more from baghdad. this is an issue of trust protesters do not trust the current political leaders in power to enact substantive change it's also an issue of pace they want immediate results now this is what the government says it is doing right now a constitutional committee committee is meeting looking at amendments to the constitution and those amendments would include transforming iraq's political system from a parliamentary system to a presidential system and abolishing the revile the provincial council people are so angry with these provincial councils they have been setting fire to buildings across the country protesters understand that this is a process that it may not happen suddenly and that it could be a gradual change but they're seeing no signs from the government that the prime minister either a lot of the law will step down and

a timetable given and they're seeing no indications of when early elections may be held the president has said that a draft of a new election law is being formed it's going to be presented to the parliament this week he has also said that a new election committee is going to be formed and that the members will be prioritized by credentials as opposed to political party affiliations but when you consider the fact that protesters in this country have been in the streets on and off for about a decade and in that time they have seen their economic prospects in the educational system deteriorate the infrastructure crumble and not a single top level government official has been held to account for corruption you can understand why people here are impatient and fed up they are saying that leader after leader has come and gone each has offered promises and yet we had yet to see substantive results that is why protesters are saying they will not stop there.

these measures would be added on to the new immigration law that was actually passed last year the idea is to try toughen up to tighten this law and take back control said ed was the leap of france's immigration policy now these policies fall into 2 broad categories the 1st is economic migration and the 2nd is asylum seekers now in terms of so-called economic migrants the government's words what they say is they'd like to introduce for the 1st time in france quotas for workers so what that would mean is that they would assess which industries in france have a labor shortage and adjust the quotas accordingly some sort of system that is already in place in some countries like australia or canada and in terms of asylum seekers the government says that they've been seeing more and more asylum seekers each year last year 2018 there are about 123000 asylum applications the

french government says that that's a while a 5th more than it was in 2017 so there is a certain sense of urgency to deal with the number of people applying for asylum in france and they want to crack down on abuses so the government is coming out with things like trying to limit the access that asylum seekers have to health care or to control better the benefits that are given to asylum seekers so not harder the french government passed new immigration law just one gear ago so why are all of these these new steps. well what's interesting is the earlier this year the french government it was really an initiative the french president decided to launch a series of public consultations and debates this was following the yellow vest movements in which people felt that they didn't have enough of a say about the issues which touch them the most in france and one of the things that came out of the debate is that people are concerned about immigration i mean

nowhere near as concerned as they are about things like cost of living and jobs but immigration is still $1.00 of those subjects that continues to be on people's minds in the french president knows that it is a topic that fuels the popularity of france's far right party the party of marine the pen emanuel micros main political opponents and micro is halfway through his presidency and in 2022 he will be facing another presidential election and opinion polls have suggested that the pain would be his main opponent say he knows that in order to try and curb the far right stances on the conservatives chances that immigration must be a topic that his government tackles openly and in fact amount of white crosses that immigration shouldn't be a blue or the sole property of the conservatives in the far right in france it's all about amount of micro trying to if you like stop what he says is the growing

populism in france ok natasha butler live for us in paris and kasha thank you. developing story brain to bring to a number of people have been stabbed in jordan it happened in the tourist city of to rush it is believed the victims included a number of tourists a security guard were stabbed a guy was stabbed one person is in custody and being questioned. protesters in jordan are back on the streets for a 3rd week they're gathering outside government buildings in a bid to force the entire ruling elite to step down demonstrators want to new government that's not divided along religious lines also angry over delays in forming a new cabinet after prime minister saad hariri resigned 70 decorous at those protests and they were oh no no no this is. the future of. the ministry of education and their message is that they want to see an improvement

of the hospital is now out of service which means that many people who are living in the area won't have access to any medical facility and it's time so this poses enormous challenges for the medical stuff in the area what is happening now is that the. russian government backed by russian fighter jets are targeting rebel positions in the desk of deescalation so these are areas we would you would not supposed to be targeting following the 2018 agreement russia signed with turkey now that after rebel positions invited to norman in shift will stop in the middle of it is just south of it live and it seems they are trying to push all the population north to woods was the city of it live for them to be able to contain the area of b.c. is it paving the way for what they say could be a final push to take over italy which is the rebels' last stronghold in syria.

a group of climate change activists known as extinction rebellion have won a court challenge against the london police it was in response to several days of protests in october a high court judge found the blanket ban was unlawful it could open up hundreds of legal cases for protesters who were arrested while the band wife and place while shall joins us with more on this from london so jamal tell us more about this and the saucy. well if you remember over the past few months there was a series of these climate protests that took place across the capital but also in other countries around the world what was specific about this was that the police in london used what is known as section 14 of the public or director of the rolls here rather in the united kingdom which essentially gave them the power to prevent these protests from taking place if they perceived it true pose

a threat is true greater society as well as the safety and well being of institutions and so forth what the courts has ruled today was that these protests because they were taking place across the capital even though they were under the same banner under the same message they were in one large protest as the police tried to depict them as and therefore gave the protesters said that they should have had the right to continue on that any arrests that took place under that was unlawful one of the people who was arrested at the time was a member of european parliament and the child chalons rather sorry for the green party she joins me. tell me what's your feeling after the court decision today i'm very very happy about the coup decision today it's a really important ruling because this is about the right to assembly the right to peaceful protest and there is a coolness stein's of a functioning democracy so it's very important that we've won this victory today so

whilst you have done that it also opens the door not only for you to protest again but for you to file lawsuits and for compensation for on the full detention and arrest by the police is that something that you're going to pursue and others i'm i'll talk to lawyers about that and take some advice i mean i was caught up in this i went to trafalgar square on the evening of monday 14th of october because i heard that all the pay test protesters were being played i hadn't actually been involved in the extinction. in protest before that i was simply asking the police what justification they could have they weren't able to give me one i stared into the square at pedestrian eyes public area and just for doing that i was arrested that shows how disproportionate this police condition was and so it's very very important that it's been overturned it means that my arrest was unlawful it was obviously from the start clearly wrong and i have to take advice about what we do know away from the police for a 2nd now there is mixed feelings amongst the public with regards to the approach

that the environment's approaches not just extinction ridden but generally have been taking but specifically with regard to disrupting the flow of traffic with regards to even disrupting the public transport and so forth. is this something that. is being considered now when looking to do more protests now that you have the green light on other extinction rebellion also have the green light to protest so i'm not involved in extinction rebellion in terms of the protests themselves but what i think the really important thing to remember is that the vast majority of extinction rebellion protests where peaceful they were not terribly disruptive and they certainly hit only a tiny minority of people who did things that were in my mind very unhelpful like disrupting the teves you know i tweeted about it on the day i think that was a very unhelpful thing to do but it was opposed by the vast majority of activists themselves so i think it's very important not to let that we now build on that

public outcry to create the political momentum to create the government action that we need to tackle the climate crisis and a chance thank you very much. what's significant here was recently isn't just the legal aspect of this but as we heard here the fact that it's getting so much publicity the fact that it has become a topic of discussion across society is something that certainly the activists themselves see is a victory and the truth out there. obviously there they did decision by the courts not to allow them to protest once again all right jamal shaw live for us in london jamal thank you and saying in london u.k. part u.k. parliament has been formally dissolved ahead of december shinar election prime minister boris johnson visited buckingham palace in the last hour for an audience with queen elizabeth 2 more than a solution that means campaigning has officially begun or exit is expected of course to be a central theme in what is the 2nd general election since the 2016 referendum at
