your shadow on al jazeera. this is al-jazeera. this is the news from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes iran condemns u.s. attacks on the shia group in iraq and syria calling them a terrorist act. towns in victoria state in australia as temperatures soar above 40 degrees celsius. stop the crimes against humanity libya's un recognized government calls on the international community to act against warlord belief a half to. one is under attack in the central african republic we live in the capital with the lightest. and on time how much would over the day sporting

creating a brand james celebrate. style the l.a. lakers star reaches and not a milestone in there when against the map like. iran has condemned u.s. attacks on a shia group in iraq and syria calling it a terrorist act 5 camps belonging to hizbollah were hit 3 in iraq and 2 more in syria at least 27 people were killed iraq's prime minister has called the attacks on the group a breach of sovereignty but the u.s. calls it a decisive response to aggression against its troops in iraq by iranian backed forces and is warning of further action. what we did was take a decisive response that makes clear what president trump has said for months and months and months which is that we will not stand for this law of the republic of

iran to take actions that put american men and women in jeopardy. we will always honor that commitment to take decisive req action when that takes place and we continue to demand that the islamic republic iran act in a way that is consistent with what i laid back out back in may of 2018 for what it is that we expect iran to do so that it can rejoin the community of nations where his ball is part of a group that helped the iraqi government defeat eisel its being brought into a state sanctioned group of militias known as the popular mobilization forces many of them backed by iran has ballers the. hondas is one of iraq's most powerful men and has in the past for u.s. forces the u.s. state department says he advises iran revolutionary jobs and we're going to get the reaction out of iran with that said by in tehran shortly 1st i will go live to baghdad and simona faulting smother the government there is already describing this

is a breach of its sovereignty what else is. well they're basically saying that any kind of unilateral action against any force on iraqi soil is not acceptable and it's interesting to see their response to this u.s. strike and compare it to its response to the rocket attacks that we have seen on military bases where u.s. personnel are based there has been a very strong condemnation of this u.s. strike but we've seen very little criticism come out of the government as a result of this series of rocket attacks one of which resulted in the death of a u.s. contractor and this is exactly the frustration of the u.s. presence here they feel that the iraqi government is not doing enough to 1st of all reign and the groups like hezbollah who are accused of reporting to to hand rather than to back that also of not really investigating these incidents seriously enough and bringing those responsible to account and this is why the u.s.

has really decided to take matters into their own hands and retaliate against the groups that it believes are responsible now we've also heard a statement from hundreds who said quote that their response will be very tough on american forces in iraq so we have to watch and see what will happen now are we going to see a sort of tit for tat retaliation between the type hizbollah and u.s. forces here on the ground and of course there are fears that this could escalate in some kind of proxy war on iraqi soil between the u.s. and iran and separately will also be watching how the problem and will be react of course the popular mobilization forces have their own political wings that dominate the current parliament and there will certainly be some kind of response perhaps an effort to initiate some sort of legislation to perhaps expel u.s. forces here in iraq. some other thank you for that we're going to go to iran as a buddy standing by describe for us the relationship between this group the type

hizbollah and iran. well there's been a longstanding relationship between these militias and iran this specific group related by. this now he he's also the deputy leader of the popular mobilization forces and he in an interview has said that he served in the brigade that fought alongside the rain forces against saddam hussein during the iran iraq war he's been pictured many times with the leader the commander of the good force not of good force is a part of the revolutionary guard and the good for still deals with operations outside of iran and he's also praised iran for helping them fight isis and acknowledge that they had given them weapons you also called the head of the could force gusts and for the money his brother then said he and other commanders had open the doors of their arms depos and allowed them to take their

weapons and use them so there's a long standing relationship between these militias these populists pocket mobilization forces and iran to go back to the 1980s. tell us now how iran is responding directly to this attack we've heard descriptions saying that this they consider this an act of terrorism there are concerns of an escalation tit for tat attacks taking place here what are you hearing there about how this might play out. so president rouhani spoke earlier this morning but he didn't address the united states airstrikes now the statement came by the foreign ministry spokesperson that they condemned the air strikes that said it was a manifestation of terrorism they called on the united states to respect iraq's independence sovereignty and territorial integrity they also said that this shows that the united states is supporting terrorism and that the united states should

face the consequences except the consequences of the illegal actions now the government spokesperson has also issued a statement he said that iran was not behind the attacks against united states faces or troops and says such allegations without evidence cannot be used as a justification for bombardment iran took its time to respond we heard condemnation for it from inside iraq and even hizbullah in lebanon before iran issued statements now the united states has spoken directly referred to directly iran now iran is addressing united states but unlikely to engage in direct conflict and there is a likelihood that the consequences that iran is talking about will be played out inside iraq by those militias so thank us a by joining us there from tehran there's plenty more ahead on the news hour including accusations of police brutality in india as protests showed no signs of

letting out. finally hala ukrainian production separatists complete a full prisoner swap after 5 years of war. wins in a row for the champions son and we'll have all the action in sport. to australia now where thousands of people who were urged to evacuate their homes in the state of victoria have been told it's too late to leave as bush fires burn out of control nearby temperatures arrive before. 40 degrees celsius and winds of up to 100 kilometers an hour a forecast for the hours ahead about $40000.00 people were told to evacuate on sunday fires are expected to impact major highways and the massive smoke columns are generating their own fundus storms and lightning and drew crisp is victoria's emergency management commissioner he says the fires including one near the princes

highway in particular are displaying extreme behavior within about $44.00 and a half hours that 5 travelled by the case so that 24 kilometers he put up a column punching into the atmosphere 14 kilometers hawick. we just recently looked at the columns and they're generating their own way that there's not any coming out of these columns. it is unpredictable it's dangerous out there and people need to stay tuned to their local conditions and stay across that good information so i can make good decisions. now it's one of a strike is most devastating fire seasons in decades south australia was experiencing catastrophic conditions a volunteer has died in new south wales whereby defies shroud sydney in smog thomas newsome is a lecturer at the university of sydney's school of life and environmental sciences he says australia is used to bushfires but the crisis this year is unlike anything in recent history. in

a lot of people's living memories i cannot and have not we witnessed the amount of area that has been burnt sofa 5000000 hecht is across the street yet 3400000 hectares in new south wales alarming and these 5. so severe it causing quite a catastrophic damage to ecosystems and the pfizer very quickly encroaching on. areas and rural areas where people living their livelihoods through agriculture or they will actually live but really when we're talking about size specifically i think there needs to be a massive rethink about how we're going to manage phys certainly these conditions have been so severe that bushland is burning so much quicker and hotter on the people really ever anticipated and that in itself is going to create i think the navy for a shift in the way that we that we managed and probably massive reinvestment back

into our land management and national parks organizations to deal with these threats which really where any at the beginning of the fire season we've already saying 5000000 hecht is but and it's lease conditions and these 5 is are not going to slow down and they're not going to stop until we get really good running foals and the predictions on good for that rifle coming soon. libya's un recognized government is calling for the international community to help stop the military push on the capital tripoli by forces loyal to warlords of if after hundreds of civilians have been killed or wounded since the beginning of the offensive in april or why it has more from tripoli. the fight for tripoli is collating now the foreign ministry is calling on the united nations and the international criminal court to intervene the u.n. recognized government accuses forces fighting for the warlord flee for have to head

of committing crimes against humanity and their campaign to capture the capital and . we are asking the international community to perform its role after it doesn't have any legitimacy and has been destroying tripoli for the past 8 months yet the international community has not moved to stop him only now as we have a new regional and international powers are rising against us the world on the southern outskirts of tripoli has cost the lives of hundreds of civilians and wanted many more have to the forces repeatedly targeted residential areas and government run facilities with airstrikes and rockets nearly 140000 libyans have fled their homes to seek safety and also under threat our oil revenues which are the backbone of libya's economy. the national oil corporation is assessing the damage following greece and airstrikes on the oil refinery in the

western city of zawiya. and as government forces battle to stop the fall of tripoli have to his forces are reported to be getting very enforcement from russia. and advance it weapons supplied by the united arab emirates turkish troops could soon be joining the conflict the promise to support for forces loyal to the government is being seen by some as crucial to preventing the fall of tripoli because president says parliament will vote next month on a mandate to send troops but has helped us forces advance further into the southern neighborhoods and closer to the density of populated areas of the capital the futile for human casualties is growing. more doctors were had. to pretty. much body is a non resident scholar at the middle east institute where his research focuses on the view he joins us by skype from florence in italy nice to have you with us now

the national government the internationally recognized government is that in the bia is a clear cue using a least a half his forces of war crimes and saying the international community needs to do more what would meet the threshold of a war crime in this case what would constitute a war crime. well i would say the 1st actually. recognizing that something is a war crime assist usually have a solid knowledge base in order for you to bring about accountability the problem is at this stage we have plenty of war crimes or perpetrated war crimes that have been committed by his forces we even have airstrikes that have been committed on behalf of our with even some investigation as to which state might have conducted these strikes so the problem isn't really had the knowledge base or not ability the problem is that the international commitment to actually coerce or use wheeled

tools of accountability let's say when you come to actually acting as an international community there's been criticism of the u.n. for not doing enough but when you have russia supporting aletha half his forces and russia is a permanent 5 member of the u.n. security council with veto power doesn't that make any action he a particularly difficult or you're not particularly just talking about russia i would say that there are at least 3 states on the p 5 are hedging on the permanent seats of the on security council that have been either had their bets on who would capture tripoli knowing full well that that would come at the expense of a lot of it for structural damage and a lot of war crimes and these states including russia essentially take in terms of actually vetoing certain resolutions that would bring about a constructive end to this conflict so as long as this is the stance that the international powers of taken i don't see how the un or other bodies could actually

all of the conflict there is action that the human rights council at the u.n. may be eyeball to take what are the options available there. the the good thing about the human rights council is it isn't particularly beholden to any state let's say so the actions that should be taken in my view would be to actually commission a commission of inquiry that would actually build the knowledge base i was speaking about earlier in order for you then to actually keep actors accountable the problem is again there isn't that much of a political commitment or international commitment to do it and these things take time what's this. thank you so much for that body joining us then. now the u.n. has sent a rapid response team to the central african republic after violence between shop owners and fighters demanding money at least 40 people were killed in the capital

bangui on thursday the un is warning against an escalation of fighting following years of unrest between muslim and christian militias operated dress joins us now live from bangui give us the situation there on the ground now after this attack. well basically there is an uneasy calm here in benghazi with the latest information being that the traders of the p.k. 5 neighborhood market have given the armed groups a deadline of tomorrow they need they must meet or surrender all their weapons or the violence will escalate we're not sure how this will pan out but for now there is an uneasy calm we just came back from the peak a 5 neighborhood market where traders were busy reconstructing i destroyed shops there now violence erupted in ivory coast in central african republic. around 2013 that was when the current situation got worse it took on different forms

politics ethnicity and religion and that's all in the mix right now. in particular the neighborhood where this attack has happened actually was controlled by the same group by the same ethnic group mostly populated mostly by the same ethnic group and the people of the same religion probably but it's basically extortion and it all started with the latest violence i mean all started because of our $15.00 goal and that is when one militia man was killed the attacks and counterattacks between the 2 groups have escalated since then and now this deadline and ultimately people are afraid that things may get worse before they get any better and if this ultimatum is not made one of the words the potential then for the escalation that you'll precisely talking about what was. well basically we spoke to a youth leader who told us that look if they don't surrender their weapons will

take the war to them that he said to us that they're tired of this violence they're tired of this extortion and the authorities are unable to deal with the situation but this is also not the 1st time this has happened by the way last year the united nations tried to intervene and stop the extortion they did not after an operation at least 40 people were killed during during the time mostly processed by civilians who had nothing to do with the conflict with thank you are committed to is joining us live from baghdad. the u.s. military and somali forces have hit 2 targets with strikes me as government says a senior member was killed on saturday a truck bomb attack blamed on the group in mogadishu killed 80 people or more now. in neighboring kenya. they survived saturday's truck bomb blast it mother dishes sustained some of the worst injuries now some victims have been airlifted to

protesters tims the uprising started to look into crimes committed since former president ahmed it issue came into power and to look into the killing of protesters during an attack on june 3rd at a sit in at army headquarters all these committees from the people here are saying that any action taken from them is very slow in shaping taking shape and taking form so they want to continue this kind of momentum what happened today to continue so that they feel that their revolution is finally bearing fruit here but thank you for that who morgan joining us live if. living in the u.s. study closest to the north pole has its benefits alaska is famous for its pristine wilderness but when many communities connected by roads getting basic medical care can be a major problem the state government has stepped in to pay for some patients to fly to hospital but critics say that's a sticking plaster solution as reports. is simple in the village of new talking last surrounded by water and the arctic tundra. the 350 you pick natives who live here hunched their own food and take care of each other the

. team leader of the main thing is that the people at home we did what we said they will celebrate new year with their families i'm happy i'm sure that too. security was tight as the prisoner exchange began there was disbelief then relief that it was happening and they would be able to return home others though valid to fight on their own. for these former ukrainian prisoners said they would fight for their country and president there were more than that while these production separatists said he'd been beaten and tortured by ukrainian security services. sunday's exchange was the result of direct talks between president still in ski and putin in france earlier this month they agreed to implement a full ceasefire in a bid to end the war in the donbass region of ukraine. relations between russia and ukraine soured when protesters in kiev managed to drive out

a kremlin backed government in 24 tane russia then seized control of crimea from ukraine and within weeks russian backed separatists took control of the eastern part of ukraine more than $13000.00 paypal's including civilians have died during 5 years of conflict ukraine wants to join nato once european union wants to move west to the poles so that kind of where ukraine and this is a strategic difference and major strategic difference is not result why a prisoner exchange there is little will among civilians caught up in fighting for this war to continue this prisoner exchange a sign the tensions could be easing nicola gage al-jazeera police in the united states of charged a suspected intruder with 5 attempted murders following a multiple stabbing during a jewish festival the governor of new york says saturday night's attack was an act

of domestic terrorism roslyn jordan as well. 37 year old grafton thomas faces 5 counts of attempted murder after an attack at a hanukkah party and months in new york a witness called the attack a terrifying just winning is a is word knife i don't know what it was back and forth getting people to say ending this crammed after me when they came out here is going to have to be hey you all got you but that's it that's about it so far thomas has not been charged with a hate crime the new york state governor says the suspect should get that and more i think this is an act of terrorism i think these are domestic terrorists they are trying to inflict fear they're motivated by hate. they are doing mass attacks these are terrorists the muncie attack is the latest in a series of assaults on jewish americans this year new york city police say that as

of december 15th $213.00 anti semitic hate crime complaints have been filed this year that's 36 more than in 20188 of those attacks have happened in the last couple of weeks including a woman and her son attacked while leaving a coffee shop. in nearby jersey city 3 people were murdered in a kosher supermarket and december 10th while police are increasing neighborhood patrols and some israeli politicians say it might be time for jewish americans to leave the u.s. others say it will take much more than law enforcement to fight anti semitism we would leave the beast on even mold in a veil and you question are the efforts. of a whole course a member and the fight against something you think and theism it isn't is a mole needed but right now people are scared and the priority is keeping people safe rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington or my colleague has been speaking to

a vis johns to wave a c's chief executive of inside unlimited that's consulting firm focusing on race gender and inclusion she says the surge in hate crimes in the u.s. is closely tied to what politicians in washington a saying. what we're experiencing here is a cultural shift that i believe starts from the top where you have a president who has been spewing hate from the very beginning of his campaign all throughout his presidency and unfortunately it's infecting our broader culture and so we're now at a point where we have a record number of hate groups in america now topping over a 1000 the largest number that we've ever seen since that statistic has been recorded and i think a lot of that has to do with the hateful rhetoric that we're seeing not only from this white house but also the hateful policies that have been acted and his over zealous miss in terms of trying to justify hateful activities you might recall that

after the charlottesville sort of attack where one person was murdered and where you had nazis protesting this president without his way to call them very good people right and so this is a culture that unfortunately it has been encouraged by this presidency and until we get rid of that very toxic leadership from the top i think it will be very difficult to be able to root it out from the bottom and even so i wonder if it's only to some degree going to get more intense given that we've got a presidential election next year and immigration has become that kind of hot issue hasn't it for more right wing politicians absolutely and so in your view do you think we could sort of see an intensification of this this booty kind of speech the sort of language that's being used that might drive some of these acts i completely agree with that it's certainly not anything i would like to see but i think it's very plausible and that's because as i mentioned you have

a president here who has become a hero to white nationalists and central to the theory of white nationalism is this idea that there need to create a white state a white governmental system which is all about being able to deny these sort of. turning demography that we have in our nation where we're quickly becoming already people of color nation and this is another thing that's related i believe to this increased targeting of the jewish population a lot of white nationalist quite frankly lame a number of jewish communities because they see those communities as being supportive of immigrants and so. we just brought you here now to go to a lot of it in moscow where the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov and iran's foreign minister mohammad java holding a press conference and let's have it was discussed today. those directions that was given to all relations during the course. mr putin. that took

place here on the intense nature. between them solemn as between the council a security council minister is a foreign affairs minister of defense there's a close contacts and among different ministries. that dalal with the practical is yours we have in a chat it very lively trade cooperation the volume of all cooperation is increasing in spite of the illegitimate one sided sanctions and in spite of the whole of the. campaign of the united states we see that the goal which pursued by the washington is obvious the methods of intimidation of blackmail to force other countries to keep up with this usually beneficial cooperation with iran and we have the same position it is such a line contradicts their all some international law principles of free trade and it

is. a manifestation of the hand that. competition has his background how are we welcome this stable growth of turnover by 25 percent by over the 9 months on. this year and. all the ass chemistry the results of the mutual straight over the there will exceed the level over $2000000000.00 us dollars we have also good to progress in our joint efforts on those projects which or coordinated issues or mapped out. 'd to be implemented in the course of the sessions of the bilateral governmental commission which was conveyed in some of this here in iraq iran we have all so good progress within a framework of the cooperation iran is european. as you are economic accounts also the ties between russia regions as it progresses around expand there were great

fare on through to make max out there but there are huge potential of interracial. that's also humanitarian considerations evolving a lack or sort of stress that. has been set university because the 1st issue is in the world where while one can get certified by the market they languish in the. exam and the efforts are made in the 2 people the dialogue and the culture trade contacts scientific contacts and it causes all beneficial to all both of peoples and the obvious is the aspiration to expand contacts between people we discuss in detail the whole range of the global than the regional and gender. we all have the joint concern about this. time then says which show themselves at the world arena 1st of all what concern is that with all of

a series of countries wrong with this basic principles of the charter of the united nations are the norm so international law. does meddling in the internal face of separate states and we have joint interests so that to mobilize the world community to differ. basic fundamental principles of values which are laid down in the charter of un according to the results of the 2nd world war we consider the and a tail a situation around the joint comprehensive action plan on the iranian nuclear program russia. related about these efforts which we take which we undertake to preserve this important international agreement with which other parties united states try to undermine and as the result of this destructive line that washington continues to press you on. this very important achievement on what a national diploma i mean the joint copper has actually plant is the threat of

collapse we know we're told so inconsistency is one of our colleagues from the european union which who also is not in full of the obligations on the joint comprehensive action plan we come away convinced that if such a line imposed by washington's all without exception countries of the world should . not fulfill the decision of the un security council votes on that it can lead to very serious negative consequences for the whole region and also for the international relations. we also support by the syrian settlements which discuss also the issues of the stabilization of the situation on the ground the tasks of the day to cut initiative fight terrorism task of the post conflict restoration of syria creation conditions of the re for the return of the syrian refugees and there are those people who are internally moved within the county where we spoke about

a situation which is taking shape in its labor and in the eastern bank of your greatest where as before american colleagues. to treat separatist tendencies in a violent. of the demands of the u.n. security council to. respect this soaring. syria we also stress that important steps in the political settlement was the launching of the constitutional committee which with the support of where the peel the points to was to ensure good were granted to the syrians themselves as to how they want to resolve the constitutional is serious in their country we are we are we agree that the start of the work of the constitutional committee is one of the most important achievements of the us can afford and we are great to continue the work within the framework of the i stand a troika syria iran turkey including also discuss the timescale of the forthcoming

meeting sort of once and this format we discussed also the situation which is taking shape in the persian gulf interest. both russia and the advocate joint efforts of all the interested states to secure the safety and stability of this region we promote put forward as you know concept of collective security the pressure of iran to put forward the. peace initiative they fall. in line with each other we spoke today how we can promote them using the use your compliment or a nature and aim to reach the same struct of peaceful goals on the whole we are very satisfied with the results on negotiation my colleague invited me next year to visit tack ran i will take advantage with pleasure take advantage of this relation

with pleasure. by the. it's a father mccann i'm good be shot fish so. that if. he put us. here i mean. for. all the people in the world and especially the people. of my friend and old colleague mr la growth. explained in a very comprehensive manner the negotiation is that we had just. in terms of our bilateral relationships and about regional and international. both had commented on use. relations between our 2 countries. are. progressing.

and comprehensive in all aspects to do there are other aspects of the relations between the 2 countries the commerce trees trade and eurasia and also. trade and also the use of multinational currencies were discussed as well as. trying to see if we're the most country's dependence on u.s. dollars how these were some of the issues that we talk about that we operate over also operation technology and other areas regarding energy transport and your comment on car doors and also economic grounds. russia and iran can be pursued as well as relations

our other neighbors. in terms of supply electricity that we have a corporation and saw not with. azerbaijan republic and also with georgia i'm terms of transit. that if you ask him and i think very good cooperation that we we have different aspects not just that we had a good cooperation by latch really caught up in these are multilateral operations which brings us very together and i'm very happy that our relationship today with our neighbor russia is one of at its best historical and decision today we have relations with russia about regional issues. as my caller talked about but i know you are having very good relationships the ending of the suffering of the syrian people which has

resulted in a stunning a deal done at talks which has led to a reduction of tensions in syria and because of those trilateral operations in enough time we have been able to see the 1st signs of political process after years of war in syria the constitutional committee is very important and we hope that. all players and they in these negotiations guarding the constitutional committee could pursue their corporations iran and russia have tried very hard to take this forward and along with turkey will these corporations. in turn it lead to a situation where there is very fragile so it's necessary that all corporations continue to bring stability there to eliminate the terrorists there and with turkey

and with russia we are continuing our. just regard on the issues on the on the issue of the unilateral is that the us is practicing it across the world and that it's becoming widespread. the issue that the us government is trying to impose its will on other countries in the world and is trying to force other countries to break the law we discussed the need to have massive cooperation which iran are doing in the context of the nuclear. stance of european countries regarding the nuclear deal in terms of in terms of politically they have expressed support but they haven't really taken any practical steps to counter u.s. sanctions they haven't taken any steps to implement their own commitments so iran and russia agree that the europeans should fulfill its obligations under the nuclear deal and we discussed this in the mitchell committee with our partners

european union in terms of regional issues as mr vireo said there are 2 ideas virtual ones very similar which we put forward and the rush forward in the persian gulf our initiative was a whore most initiative. which our president rouhani talked about in the u.n. general assembly and the idea that our russian friends have also pursued which is about the. mutual security and the persian gulf all based on the opinion that cooperation should be promoted against intimidation and threats and we hope that both initiatives can be expanded and that different countries in the region can also be attracted to take part in these initiatives as well i am very happy that our talks with russia is continuing in different aspects and the common ground.

further cooperation are abundant. and the coming closer together of the countries of both countries through tourism is one of the other issues that which we welcome as well as other aspects of how many show called operation once again i thank. russian people in government for their hospitality as we approach the new christian year. he's a man t.v. channel. so that's not to say hello as a minister yes only a minister has been the president or a silicon audience correspondent in iran the muzzle of the ground he's a musician tell me what he joins know what would we have russia and iran to be implemented is a paper the preservation of opposition agreement they can talk about positional guy states that's not what contradicts the normal international law. i would

start we in russia at least we are convinced. that in order. to clarify all the situation to sort out the situation. as you said completely that the actions of united states. think about the ways of international law the rules of the national law as well as as there are a dozen and a consensus agreement was improved to but the illusion of the security council which was a pass or 2 it will feel that to withdraw from this agreement is a very fragment by aleisha all the thinkable and thinks about all norms and principles approves of them. also a lot of states as you know force also are not to implement what they assume to do in response to the observation by one of their chief agreements and from iran's they demand to observe agreements 100 percent in violation of the

of the conditions themselves on the basis of which such air agreement was reached as laid down in the security council we will be demanding from our western partners to accept the reality of the united states and the european union go back to the full implementation of their obligations on the joint comprehensive action plan. and then iran as iran stated many times. restores the observation of those obligations which it has here and exclusively or never been 3 basis probably it would be an ideal resolution solution. i or if our western partners are not ready to confirm this way of their respect towards international law and the achieved agreements then in this case probably

the agreement should be. should be. excepted as not existing or not exist thing any more than definitely no other obligations no no parties with our brigade of its obligations which were laid down in this joint comprehensive action plan of course they'll be there on the nonproliferation of the nuclear nuclear weapons and also that issue of protocol will be in place of course who would want to preserve the agreement which was welcome wish wish praised by all the countries of the world as a top achievement of the diplomacy of the us. as an important step to consolidate the regime of nonproliferation of weapons at least or we welcome welcome those initiatives which to salvage the agreement of war and the taken by a french colleagues there in the proposal of mr mccraw present micron we strove to 3 more the agreement on the read on the return. on the coming back to

fulfill the agreements our japanese call the course appeal to that mr abbott says an appeal to that. so far as i understand they encounter. has difficulties take into account the position of the states which that. is and. exclusively on their own terms never the case and we would prefer to help if where if our efforts are needed we would be ready to think about how to try to quieten a way out of this crisis which would suit 1st of all our iranian friends because it's their 1st of all it's you and that would be you.
