at human rights watch she says the cambodian government should allow the leaders to return and to resume their political activities. i think it's highly unlikely that iran is going to allow them into the country much less let them go from the airport to the border overland to sort of organize migrant workers to march across the border we have seen actually on the cambodian border that there are posters everywhere with photos and the names of these cambodian exiles saying that they will be arrested if they are brought across we've heard information about consultations going on between the thais and the cambodians about the situation so our assessment right now is that it's probably highly unlikely that they're going to be able to get into thailand much less get to the border cambodia is trying to bully all its neighbors to keep c. an r p x files out or to arrest them and send them back we don't think that anybody's
5:05 pm
going to actually do cambodia dirty work to arrest people and actually deliver them to one fan but our view is that c.n. r.-p. fissionables like all cambodians have the right to return to their country this is actually an international human rights guarantee that the right to leave your country and also to return to it and under the international covenant on civil political rights that cambodia's ratified they should allow brand c. and his compatriots to fly directly into phnom penh and if they're arrested at that time well that's the next step in the situation here but they should not be barred from being able to return to the country international criminal court to sentence to full mccomb glee's rebel leaders to 30 years in prison he's both stood in the tongan the he's been convicted of 18 war crimes including murder rape and using child soldiers the crimes were committed between 20022003 in the democratic

5:11 pm
inspectors accreditation it's believed this is the 1st such incident since the nuclear deal was signed in 2015 on weapons to iran began the process of injecting uranium gas into centrifuges at his ford or plant it was observed by inspectors from the i.a.e.a. such a body has more now from tehran. the international atomic energy agency has been holding a special meeting on their wrong on thursday in vienna to discuss the latest developments when it comes just announced it's about its nuclear program the meeting that's also been discussing the treatment of one of the spectre's in iran that is because this inspector who is one of 150 inspectors that passed through the country's nuclear facilities on a regular basis she was briefly detained last week before entering the natanz nuclear facility for allegedly having suspicious material with her there when ian's
5:12 pm
briefly detained her and then she was sent out of the country this treatment is now drawing condemnation and the e.u. has issued a statement saying they're deeply concerned about the way this inspector was treated this all comes at a time when tensions are high about iran's nuclear ambitions this was something president hassan rouhani even predicted himself when he announced their wrongs 4th step in reducing its commitments to the nuclear agreement of 2015 he said that as of wednesday the 4 joe nuclear facility will restart its centrifuges and they did exactly that over a 1000 centrifuges are now spinning at that underground facility producing about 4.5 percent enriched uranium the iranians have said this is a serious step and they are very much trying to put pressure on the remaining european signatories that are left in the nuclear agreement since the united states withdrew from the deal iran has said that they will not stay in the steal by themselves they have not seen any of the benefits since the united states imposed a series of sanctions on iran's oil and banking sector for now there's
5:13 pm
a lot of condemnation about iran and its nuclear program and the iranians are adamant that they will continue to reduce their commitments until they see some tangible results from this nuclear deal and until then these measures will continue . well the u.s. secretary of state might pompei o has reacted on twitter he said iran's plans to increase its nuclear activity at fordo raise concerns that iran is positioning itself for rapid nuclear breakout it's now time for all nations to reject its nuclear extortion and increase pressure let's talk live now to kimberly help at the white house correspondents kimberly this time yesterday tirant clearly signaling look we're going to do this but it is reversible and that reversible part of this not getting any traction in washington . no it's not it seems that this statement in this tweet that has come from the secretary of state is strategic in the fact that he's in germany right now commemorating the fall of the berlin wall and he is sending
5:14 pm
a message in that tweet that you read there and even a broader statement put out by the state department directly to the international community that has not always stood with the united states and as a number of its positions with regard to iran particularly the one to withdraw from the 2015 nuclear agreement to limit iran's activities nuclear activities so. just a little bit of a statement that came from the state department as that tweet was also going out the secretary saying iran's latest nuclear escalations reflect the regime's intentions all along to extort the international community into accepting violence and terror will it undermines the sovereignty of its neighbors so clearly there is an appeal as the as a run is in fact you know enriching uranium that there are there is this message from the united states that it is concerned but what also have to look at a statement came from my own peo just
5:15 pm
a few days ago where he said look everything's great the sanctions are working we're moving along and we have to remember that there are very heavy sanctions that have been put in place by the united states petro chemical sector metals sector banking sector proof he said it was working is that they seem to be a limited resources that were going out in terms of financing to has a lot to shia militias and also lip recession that we're seeing in iran but now the statement seems to indicate sort of the next level of concern the fact that the united states has tried to put in these tough sanctions leaving open room for diplomacy but not achieving that goal. thanks very much. still to come for you here on al-jazeera protesters keep up the pressure in lebanon as politicians begin closed door negotiations for a new government. and ultimatum from bolivia as opposition as anger against the president spreads to rural areas.
