what we're after. iran and the un's nuclear watchdog agree on new inspections of suspected former atomic sites. have a hidden and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up the government of cyprus responds to an al-jazeera investigation into a cash for passport scheme where convicted criminals and fugitives are among those who've bought citizenship. 2 people were killed in the u.s. state of wisconsin during the 3rd night of protests over the police shooting of

a black man. we hear my dad's voice. my bauers voice. emotional statements from the family members of victims of last year's mosque shooting in new zealand's the gunman's sentencing hearing. but 1st we begin with breaking news from iran to run has agreed to give the u.n. nuclear watchdog the international atomic energy agency access to 2 suspected former atomic sites as according to a joint statement released by the i.a.e.a. and the iran's leaders let's cross live now to us a big who's in tehran for as assad's just explained says what this actually means and why is the significance. well these are 2 sites that

the i.a.e.a. wanted access to for about 4 months and iran had blocked access to these then in june this year the i.a.e.a. passed a resolution that was put forward by germany france the united kingdom demanding access to these sites now iran had said that these 2 sites apparently suspected of having undisclosed nuclear material either stored or used at these sites were not part of the way that 2015 agreement now there was this to and fro from iran over the last 2 days the head of the grocery has been visiting iran and he met with the head of iran's atomic agency he met with foreign minister divides raef and today he met with president has rouhani and the lines from iran was that they were constant same to the i.a.e.a. that the i.a.e.a. must act impartially and professionally and yesterday we heard the say that he wasn't under any influence or political judgment and the organization didn't have any political orientation although there were outside pressures but they were

working hard to not let those pressures affect their work no iran also looked like it was changing its stance somewhat over the last few days they had said that they were willing to grant access if it ended questions once and for all and although that was vague it seems like both sides have agreed because the i.a.e.a. statement now says under the current context and then the information the i.a.e.a. has it doesn't have any more questions or further requests to access locations so it seems like an agreement has been reached and the context for this is that iran iran's nuclear sites are already monitored by the i hate these 2 sites were a part of that agreement it seems but also those outside pressure obviously we have the united states trying to reimpose these sanctions that hasn't been successful and the united states was isolated at the united nations but france germany and the u.k. had demanded access to these sites and it seems like now that is going to happen ok
