a season of darkness biden accused president trump of failing to lend at a failing to protect of 07 fisher reports from wilmington and by home state of delaware. i accept this nomination for president of the united states of america 32 years after the 1st run for president joe biden is no the democratic candidate the last man standing in what was a large field in a while i'll be a democratic candidate i'll be an american president and now he will face donald trump in november a man he's previously described as i have his depth incompetent and racist but a man he criticized without ever using his name in his speech the choice could not be more clear no rhetoric is needed just judge this president on the facts 5000000 americans infected by covert 90 more than 170000 americans have die

adversaries the days of cozying up to dictators is over. the final speech at a convention is normally marked with huge cheers and traditionally a balloon drop this was a different ending but what has been a different kind of convention. so joe biden has finally convinced the democratic party he should be the presidential candidate normally after the convention the candidate hits the campaign trail crisscrossing the country but because of covered that can happen this time around but still he has 11 weeks to convince the country that what he put on display in his speech his vision his policies even his personality is what america needs no alan fischer al-jazeera wilmington delaware president trump was quick to react to by speech tweeting in 47 years joe did none of the things of which he now speaks he will never change just words the

u.s. has formally triggered the process that it hopes could lead to all international sanctions being reimposed on iran but america's closest allies have already rejected the move to sirus kristen salumi reports from the un in new york u.s. secretary of state mike pompei all made a special trip to u.n. headquarters to formally accuse iran of violating the 2015 nuclear deal in a letter submitted to the security council president he argues iran has been enriching uranium and supplying weapons to proxy militias in the middle east it's an attempt to trigger u.n. procedures that would lead to the automatic reinstatement of sanctions this process will lead to those sanctions coming back into effect 30 days from today. our message is very very simple united states will never allow the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism to freely buy and sell planes tanks missiles and other kinds of conventional weapons the u.n.

sanctions will continue the arms embargo the so-called snap back provision was part of the deal negotiated 5 years ago there's just one problem the u.s. withdrew from the deal in 2018 but that it is not but it's not going to take a break up but got to do which is a but is a book and he said be away with us is not iran like russia says the u.s. move is illegal and the act of a bully that knocking is going to happen in 30 or $31.00 days because the u.s. has to enjoy the support of the security council which does not exist the u.s. position is being critical of and the security johnson the united states has put its european allies on the security council in a very awkward position they didn't speak publicly but issued a statement saying they cannot support the u.s. is unilateral move because they want to preserve the international nuclear deal that is as long as the iranians hold up their end of it the one thing that could

actually turn a lot of the europeans. back to the u.s. side in these discussions would be a serious problem. i think that what we're likely to see is the iranians you know the u.s. electoral calendar simply white it could make for uncomfortable relations in the security council at least until november kristen salumi al jazeera the united nations more on this now from 0 to 0 as i said beg interop. iran preempted the united states going to the united nations with an open letter from foreign minister zarif and it he said that the u.s. moves were unacceptable illegal and dangerous and iran stance has been consistent throughout iran has maintained that the united states is in no position to trigger this so-called snap back mechanism that will really pose united nations sanctions on iran because the united states withdrew from the deal and on several occasions

have admitted that they have no access to its mechanisms. also issued an electric to the iranian people now whilst we discuss what's happening on the international front iran's also trying to reach out to its own people because they are still many people within iran that was skeptical about this deal that were not in favor of it and we've just seen the most conservative parliament this country has ever seen voted in earlier this year and even last month was heckled and interrupted when he went to parliament so now he's reaching out to the ring in people and and saying we have done all that we can and actually he said no matter what happens iran victory is ours because we defended our right with logic and good manners and this is the stance that iran is taking they are saying that they are sticking to the law that they are sticking to international standards that they have come to this deal with good will and although that they have stepped back on some of their commitments to that nuclear deal iran believes that's within the 2015 nuclear deal that those

provisions within that for them to be allowed to take those steps back so iran is still waiting to see what will happen they still some tough talk coming out they have previously we have heard president hassan rouhani say that there will be a crushing response if the bubbles like are extended iran is just waiting to see what will happen. the wife of russian opposition politician alexina valmy says the doctors a putting his life at risk by refusing calls to move him from a hospital in siberia is still in a serious condition in the city of after a suspected poisoning doctors have told union of irony that he's too ill to be moved the valley's team says that their keeping them under pressure from the kremlin. is delicious and. they refused to allow him to be moved or they 2 hours ago the situation was such documents for his transfer were being prepared 2 hours later they refused to handover alexy we think they say the substance

disappears from his body he is not in a good condition and we do not trust this hospital we demand that he's handed over to us so he can be treated in an independent hospital by doctors we trust and there are conflicting reports over whether in fact novelli was poisoned. on our findings on the suspected poisoning our own route to moscow at the moment no races were found in his blood or urine we do not believe that the patient was poisoned we almost have a full diagnosis unfortunately i cannot release it we gave the diagnosis to his wife and brother orally at the moment the patient's condition is unstable and we believe that transporting him is impossible. but the head of the valley's anticorruption foundation says that they heard from police that a deadly substance was found in his body. let's tell you this if you think. we were in the office of the head doctor and a traffic policeman came in and showed us his phone saying this is

a substance we found and the head doctor says well so what if you found that we went up to the police officer who showed us a phone and we asked her what kind of substance is that she said that information is confidential to the investigation and we cannot tell you but this substance is deadly the substance is not only in danger in life but also people around him meanwhile an ambulance has arrived in obs from germany it was organized by german and russian activists and follows an offer from chancellor angela merkel to treat in europe for intervention or through just you know i hope and wish that he will recover as quickly as possible and if you wish to do so and what applies to france also applies to germany we will offer him all the medical help he needs and he can turn to german hospitals but of course he has to request let's go live out of moscow alexandra style which called for forests alexandra draw all of this together for us to start with what we know about this condition.

well adrian by news conditions stays the same he is in coma he cannot breathe on his own he is intensive care unit and according to doctors he is not stable enough to be moved out of this hospital to be transferred elsewhere as as relatives and friends requested and insist on it what we do know is that they ran a numerous tests on him the deputy head doctor says that they did not find any poisons in there neither his blood or urine samples and he claims that they have almost a full diagnosis of what happened and what is going on with alexei and me why it is in it he's in houma he also claims they told this to both the news wife as well as his brother now yesterday since he ended up hospitalized and unconscious in arms hospital the relatives and family are claiming that he's been poisoned to death

someone poisoned him with an unknown substance today there were quote saying that the police officer traffic police officer show them something saying this is the deadly poison dog this person according to them refused to disclose what kind of a poison is that is so family and friends do not trust his doctors they don't trust these hospitals the refusal to transport him elsewhere to a more trust were 3 or independent hospital as they say. refuse that they think of that the north as a medical decision but as a political one that doctors decided that because they were pressurized to do so and that in fact it is them with not allowing transportation that are endangering needs life while doctors are saying no if you transport him that is too dangerous and he cannot be released not even if his wife would take personal responsibility for what happens next european council president shoma show has raised of all these

case with president putin in a phone call meanwhile an ambulance arrives in from germany what do we know about that. well this plane that the arrived from germany early this morning in siberia city of bones is fully equipped to transport to patients that are in condition as as the binary is in a coma they have doctors there now on the question whether day spoke with his doctors and whether they would be willing to share that information russian doctors actually if you're still to comment this plane arrives thanks to the efforts of both russian and german activists and the 8 is basically waiting for the need to be released from the hospital plus a certain documentation that is needed for transportation abroad for such patients yesterday we heard the russian president's spokesperson to meet the risk of saying that russia if such a request would be. put to them they will help with transporting another irony out

of the hospital but nothing of this can happen until doctors not hospital give yesterday's give documentation of release of vile need to his wife. xandra rich reporting live from moscow an example many thanks dude. well get a weather update banksy i'll just say wrote then a picture of defiance leaves course after pleading not guilty to defrauding president trump's most loyal supporters. a repeated tragedy brazil's amazon region faces more devastating fires that threatened to be worse than last year.
