10:22 am
conclude that some of the materials used in the attacks may have been transferred in a manner inconsistent with the security council resolution 2231 that's the resolution in shrine and the 2015 iran nuclear deal of course they can't make a definitive judgment on that because it's not clear to them when exactly these materials were transferred from iran whether it was a breach of the nuclear deal what i think is important about this is it gives fresh ammunition to the u.s. at what is a very politically sensitive time the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. kelly craft is preparing a draft resolution which is very controversial she want to extend the arms embargo on iran and she's making threats she said if she doesn't get her way then she's going to trigger a provision of the iran nuclear deal called snapback bring all the sanctions
10:23 am
international sanctions against iran back into force you may ask well how can the u.s. do that because it pulled out of the iran nuclear deal it is a very tricky legal position and certainly legally doesn't seem to be any right now . there's certainly going to be a big dispute if they go down that route and it's going to be a dispute that pits the u.s. is closest allies its european allies on the side of russia and china against the united states. now to turkey where farm laborers are facing extra competition and low wages because of the coronavirus pandemic hundreds of thousands of them rely on farm work during the summer to get them into winter but many other kinds of workers who've lost their jobs are also looking for a means to survive simcoe still no reports. hours spent bending and hawing farming is tough work it will take until august to harvest these

10:28 am
as we're really coordinate way to protect the most vulnerable so i mean i think it's approximately 15000 people across the country who have been held in one form or another. one of brighton's sea front attractions is this upside down house it's an interesting metaphor for the way that cope with 19 is overturns britain's homelessness crisis or maybe is actually put in the right way up because this is clearly a problem that could always be solved with the right approach the government's promise to deliver $6000.00 homes for the homeless with half of those available in the next year. but brighton isn't alone in worrying about what comes before their hotels will want to return to normal business universities will want their accommodation back from the government money was nowhere near sufficient to pay for it all anyway that has been some government funding but it's it's it's completely inadequate to continue so we are as a council because we want to catch the people in front of her we are continuing but
