here arrived here and the relationship between iran and the agency had been somewhat tricky because the agency wanted access to these 2 sites 2 sites that it was alleged that he was undeclared nuclear material either used or stuart from the early 2000 is now one of the sites had been partially destroyed the agency said and the other had undergone activity consistent with sanitizing the facility from july 2019 and then the i.a.e.a. passed this resolution that was put forward by germany france the united kingdom demanding access to these sites to grossly the head of the i.a.e.a. he met with the head of the atomic agency here he met with farmers to develop 3000 today he met with president rouhani and then this statement followed looks like. running up to these meetings that iran was willing to change its stance iran had said that they were willing to grant access to these sites if it had ended questions if it ended questions once and for all and that was a vague precondition but it seems like now it's obvious that the 2 sides have come

to an agreement now iran will grant access to these 2 sites and the i.a.e.a. has said in this joint statement that according to the information that they currently have with have no further questions or acts ask for access to sites haven't already been declared by iran so it diy has what it wants iran has what it wants but most importantly in this statement the i.a.e.a. has said that they would take iran security concerns into consideration because iran was concerned that its information is security information was not shared with the united states now in this statement says that they will protect under their protocols to confidentiality iran's information so both sides have what they want and iran is showing the world right now that they are still a part of this 2050 nuclear deal and willing to cooperate with the i.a.e.a. . us a big intact ron thank you for that. on to other news in the greek prime minister.

report in the news john from tell us more about what you what you saw and experienced. well at night everything gets much more rockets in the daytime the protests are generally peaceful at night is many of the police and sheriff's deputies have been guarding the courthouse that has been sort of the epicenter of this event a number of demonstrators were looters in any case they've gone to other parts of konoha and they have moved it in prior bombs buildings and in some cases there are dozens of them overnight. not last night but the night before the real 13th yesterday firefighters were responding to 37 new fires some of those buildings had been leveled and now we are learning that overnight in the past several hours that

2 people have been killed and one person has been injured by gunshots the canoes your police department is confirming those facts and the sheriff in that area has told a reporter that those were vigilantes that what was happening was that they were armed men and i saw armed civilian. men yesterday in can osha carrying around assault weapons and side arms and they said that they were going to protect this city in this instance there are some reports which i can't confirm that somehow one of those armed civilians got into a conflict with some of the protesters and that's where the shooting began that's according to some things that the sheriff has had to say but the details on that are are very sketchy what we do know is that the nights have grown increasingly violent and one of the reasons for that is just the lack of police power throughout

this city of can no sure they simply haven't had enough people to control that city a couple 100 police officers and then they had 125 national guard troops last night they had more control over at least this center of town where they were concentrated because they added more national guard troops and now yet again here on wednesday there is a news conference on 1 o'clock where we expect people to discuss national guard officials to discuss whether they should add new national guard troops into no shit so this problem has just continued to escalate the damage the looting the firebombing has increased and so have the number of police so what setting up right now is a more intensified conflict in that small city of inertia john hendren keeping us up to date with offense in wisconsin thank you joe. al jazeera is investigative unit is standing by its exclusive reports which the government of cyprus is calling propaganda investigation focused on a case of confidential documents a list 2 and
