12:02 pm
that fascination obviously iran did react but tensions have been high and president rouhani took this opportunity this non-spiritual wide ranging speech to address some of those issues including the nuclear issue now the europeans have gone to the united nations and what president rouhani said is that iran will and is willing to return to their commitments but as long as the european countries return to this he said. he addressed the united kingdom's comments johnson's comments on actually considering what donald trump has to say on the nuclear issue he said that the europeans were quiet when the united states left the international climate of course why didn't they hold them to account then so he's ruled any new negotiation out but says that iran is willing to return to those commitments only if the europeans are willing to return to their commitments he said that talk of iran pursuing a nuclear weapon should be disregarded he said to stop talking about this iran
12:03 pm
doesn't want this is that they are any nuclear facilities are monitored by the i.a.e.a. they even have cameras in the nuclear enrichment facilities and he said that he actually defended the nuclear deal and that's because of the situation inside iran there are people within iran that think that the 2050 nuclear deal it could be barack obama and the u.s. president barack obama it was bad for iran they put iran in a weak position but actually he said no iran's economy flourished that there were many contracts signed and also on iran's oil experts exports increased so that's because of the situation inside iran we have a. presidential elections that list of those candidates parliamentary elections sorry that list of those candidates has been released he called for national unity and said that candidates should not be disregarded and we cannot have just one faction representing the country we need diversity so very much a wide ranging cause a call for unity in the face of what he said was
12:04 pm
a united states aggression as you say i said it was a wide ranging speech but he also spoke about the downing of the ukrainian passenger jet there's clearly still a huge amount of anger on the streets absolutely we've seen protests nearly every day now and that's because people are angry for because iran for many days after the crash denied that it was brought down by a missile and now that they're finally admitted it people are very angry they want to count ability and they want justice and he said that the armed forces must explain to people why there was a delay in announcing this news and he also wants the armed forces to explain to people that the intention wasn't to conceal the news the iranian government has been very clear about that that there was a miscommunication there was misinformation but there wasn't an attempt to conceal that did you do should we should work to investigate and set up a tribe you know to hold people to account but he said that the government and the
12:05 pm
armed forces should work together however he did emphasize that this was an unforgivably mistake it shouldn't happen again but it shouldn't be used to undermine the armed forces he said that armed forces are essential to the security of the country and they have been and he said that a mistake like this hasn't been made in the history of iran and it is regrettable but we should move forward in terms of transparency and accepting responsibility for a task in tehran thank you. meanwhile iran's foreign minister zarif is attending a security conference in new delhi he said the accidental shooting down of the ukrainian plane last week was a direct result of u.s. aggression so he says protests over the incident are now under control but last year night we had people in the streets of tehran demonstrating against. the fact that they would like to put a couple of days but this was
12:06 pm
a very serious situation we believe that it is the fact that it wasn't disclosed early enough if you look at comparable situations it was just close to it because there are incidents where 2 years 10 years has gone by nobody has claimed responsibility so our military forces were brave enough to claim responsibility and they are to libya now whether it's a book based government aligned with a warlord only for half tosses a cease fire with a tripoli based government is over according to the u.n. recognize government of national accord the fighting has broken out south of the capital tripoli and it's responded to attacks with artillery fire on monday the jna on have topped a gallon talks in moscow to end the conflict the general have to left without a deal being agreed russia's defense ministry said after a needed time to discuss their premiums with his allies would have belied joins us live now from tripoli mahmoud said confirmation that there has been more fighting

12:08 pm
civilians safety meanwhile the situation remains it very tense around tripoli yesterday in got a bully a town about 25 kilometers to the east from tripoli who have to militants they came from the city of the main stronghold for have to his forces the open fire at the government patrol in that area and they they took as the government sources say they took a military vehicle belonging to the government and they left the area meanwhile the speaker of the best parliament in the east of libya that's the pool have to parliament stated that this cease fire is collapsing and they will continue the military operations here in tripoli the united nations it recognized the prime minister face of along with the head of the high state council who signed this

12:18 pm
been meeting the iraqi foreign minister mohammad ali al hakim he said that they discussed ways of bringing security to the region he said the gulf countries need to make their own discussions and decisions on maritime security said iraq supports qatar's efforts to stabilize the country and they help with reconstruction then he said iraq condemns the missile attacks those recent missile attacks which he says is a breach of sovereignty and mohamed bin abdominal funny he was qatar's foreign minister said at the visit comes at a critical time of course to talk to the iraq is he said efforts are under going to keep iraq out of regional conflicts and he said that qatar's and its friendly allies are trying to decrease tensions he said qatar supports the full independence and territorial integrity of iraq let's bring in one khan he joins us now on the phone from the iraqi capital in months we know we've been calling for both sides to show restraint all parties to show restraint what more did we learn from the press conference then. well wolf the key message was it was absolutely clear
12:19 pm
territorial sovereignty must be respected there is a clear worry from iraq is very. big so the use of 1 ground somehow between the u.s. and iran that it's really about reducing those tents and the claim message from iraq must be respected as a country it's the language is actually very interesting because words like crucial we use this was a crucial visit this was coming at a time most important clearly both sides the one thing. the cats will be able to somehow mediate between the various parties don't forget the emir of qatar shake dream more than actually in tehran any foreign leader or on a social level since the crisis began to clearly cast a role to play and it seems to take it very seriously and the rockies generally
12:20 pm
speaking even before the press conference speaking to various people from the foreign ministry they were saying more than any time before this is a very crucial visit the qataris have something to offer and this we are hoping will calm tensions in the region in many talk about so reducing tensions that the iranian president has been talking today about the future of u.s. and foreign troops in iraq saying they won't be secure that how is this likely to go down there in iraq do you think. well iraq is really divided between 2 sides you have some things in the code on one side which like the american troops to remain and then you have the shia political blocs lamido political blocs talking who would like the americans to leave his post the prime minister all of those body in a very difficult position because he has an executive to connect a decision between the rockies and the americans the american troops on the soil clearly after the killing the g.c.
12:21 pm
general hossam so the money that's become a very big issue but there's also another side to all of this as well one of the key shia clerics in southern has called for a 1000000 man march against u.s. troops in the country so iraq is gearing up for a real discussion within the parliament itself habits fall and that's really key to understand is that people also came out key people at all in about the removal of u.s. troops but it hasn't gone into parliament since it was discussed last week so there is a real divide between iraq and politicians on all sides about what to do these u.s. troops now from assad of the mahdi has publicly said that he will sign an order to allow troops to leave but he doesn't have the political cover he would like to be able to control stayman if they pushed out and clearly the americans this is simply ignoring all of this and saying we have
12:22 pm
a good relationship iraq he's oxford's the thing all right to him in combat live for us on the iraqi capital baghdad imman thank you. or let's move on shall we because saddam's government censors put down an armed revolt by members of a disbanded intelligence unit who were angry at the terms they've been offered for their dismissal 2 soldiers were killed and 4 injured it's a 1st major challenge from within the security ranks for the transitional government which took power in august reports now from the capitol. tuesday in her started like the. members of the operation of sudan's general intelligence services opening fire in the capital there rejecting a severance package offered to them after the unit was dissolved months ago and they opted to retire rather than join the military tensions were high as people. can remember some up close are firing their weapons what are we waiting for where
12:23 pm
are the security forces to stop this. sudan's government only months old deployed soldiers to try and contain the situation tanks patrolled the streets while military choppers flew over her. as the main airport was shut down the operations unit in the intelligence services was dissolved as part of reforms by the then military council which ousted the country's president ahmed april following months of protests protesters had demanded the intelligence services be restructured accusing them of corruption and committing crimes against civilians the government described today's event at the meeting and called on the members of the unit to lay down their guns it's accused their former leader who resigned days after bashir was ousted of being behind the shootings minus good. we will no longer remain silent what happened today is behind it this force operates under his command his ordering this force and his commanders plotting against the country in secret they
12:24 pm
are trying to incite internal strife there are protests planned in the coming days . they want to stop problems in the country. but gun battles played out in residential neighborhoods with people reporting stray bullets landing in their homes and to billions injured people are on high alert and not only because of the events but because of what they may signify they're worried that this week that their revolution back and that the military will try to tighten its grip on power to restore security in the capital and elsewhere. some analysts are blaming the government for the outbreak of violence and if they couldn't know. there was a mistake in how issues were run after the sting of bashir and especially in dealing with a peer ations unit of indian intelligence services and how they were integrated we're no talking about at least 3000 people who are well armed well trained indeed intelligence forces and they weren't properly released and didn't hand their
12:25 pm
weapons. tuesday in how to end it the way it started with the sound of gunshots filling the air the latest violence is a reminder to sudanese that they transitional government remains fragile and there are still many security issues to be resolved people morgan all just their own. now protesters in lebanon have been out on the streets once again issuing a new call for action following 3 months of on to government unrest they have regrouped what they call a week of anger under the slogan the revolution is coming back on tuesday night protests in the capital beirut turned violent we're going to joins us live now from the lebanese capital sana'a so last night a main commercial district in the capital was a battleground we know that been violent incidents since the protest movement began and so was last night different. anger is escalating people are growing increasingly frustrated because of the near economic collapse in the country as you can see behind me banks have been vandalized cash
12:26 pm
machines destroyed. in central beirut a commercial district was a battleground for hours they were running battles between security forces and protesters which began outside the central bank a few 100 meters from where we are standing protesters tried to storm the central bank and security forces intervened people are angry because the banking sector they've imposed capital controls basically there's only a certain amount of money you can withdraw from your savings dollars r r r in shortage and there's even a cap on the amount of lebanese pounds so people feel the banking sector is keeping people with the money hostage and they're also blaming the banks for the failed policies in recent years that led to lebanon's worst economic crisis in decades but at the same time some of the protesters who were on the streets yesterday are supporters of the ruling alliance and many believe that this was a message
12:27 pm
a message to the banking sector as well as the head of the central bank that they want him to go for 2 reasons those in the ruling alliance those who hold power in this country believe that banks in one way or the other are imposing this controls to create more anger in the streets to turn the streets against those in power the political class and it's not just that they do blame. me for implementing u.s. sanctions against the iranian backed group hezbollah which leads the ruling alliance so i political message at the same time saying that just briefly is there any sign the political vacuum will end anytime soon to allow the economy to improve . no politicians are in deadlock they are vying over ministerial seats bickering amongst each other a prime minister was appointed approximately a month ago has by the ruling alliance who now don't seem to want him has found yet
12:28 pm
has a cabinet line up what we understand of technocrats in the pendent experts which is what the street wants what the anti-establishment protesters want but right now those in power are insisting on keeping their political power because of regional developments following the killing of the iranian military commander qassam so like many many people here believe lebanon is going to be in the eye of the storm because the ruling elite is led by a group allied with iran so they want politicians in the next government in case certain decisions have to be made and now they want them and they appointed out of office and that is why they have joined the anti political establishment protesters in the streets or to say no there in beirut say no thank you in pakistan winter storms of killed over 100 people rescue workers all battling harsh conditions to reach those stranded in baluchistan just on administered kashmir full cost of just
