i.a.e.a. says that it's reached more than 10 times the limits decided under the agreement which promised iran economic incentives and incentives in return for curbs on its nuclear program iran has been violating restrictions since the u.s. pulled out of the deal 2 years ago it's trying to pressure the remaining nations to help offset crippling u.s. sanctions. lived out of tehran was a serious. forests said one of significance of these i find ings well it depends how you look at it they reveal a tree well not exactly if you already knew that iran is reducing its commitments to this to this to 2015 nuclear deal now let's just go through what the i.a.e.a. saying the i.a.e.a. saying that iran is in breach of the agreement because they've exceeded the 202 kilograms of stockpiling low enrich uranium well we knew this because if this was phase one of iran's reduction back in 2019 the i.a.e.a.

saying iran is enriching uranium past the 3.67 percent limit to 4.5 percent again we knew this this was face 2 of iran's reduction in its commitments to that 2050 nuclear deal the i.a.e.a. saying that iran is using advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium again we also know this because this was phase 3 in iran's reduction and its commitments to that deal now what is significant is that the i.a.e.a. they view is clear that iran is in breach of the 2050 nuclear deal and that that's not the view of iran. what is iran's position that what's it up to well iran has always been clear that they believe that they are within their rights under the j c p o a that 2015 nuclear deal should reduce their commitments that they point to a section within that agreement which says that one party is allowed to reduce its commitments in whole or in part if the other parties are not living up to their

obligations now iran's view is after the united states pulled out of that deal in 2018 and imposed sanctions on iran on iran's oil and banking sector is the responsibility of the european countries france united kingdom and germany to find a way around those sanctions now they clearly haven't been able to do that at least to satisfy satisfactory level from iran's view so what iran has done is that we are within a right to reduce those commitments where within the 2015 nuclear deal even yesterday a high ranking government official said that iran is unable to even sell a drop of its oil and even if it was it wouldn't be able to bring back that money into the country now what we're upset iran is that the head of the i visited iran late last month and as a goodwill gesture iran allowed access to sites that the suspected that nuclear material is stored or used now iran has been blocking access to these sites but a goodwill gesture they allowed the i.a.e.a.

to visit these sites where suspected something was taking place in early 2000 and iran will be upset that ruffled across the and the i.a.e.a. have gone away and said that iran is in breach of that 2015 nuclear deal because that's clearly not the position of iran here and iran has already said that they will return to those commitments if the europeans can find a way around those sanctions and return to their obligations to the 2015 nuclear deal. reporting live from tehran i said many thanks indeed. nato is calling on russia to cooperate with an international investigation into what happened to the kremlin critic alexina valmy doctors in germany is being treated say that he was poisoned with a soviet era nerve agent but russia's government says that it has no evidence of any crime and was there as laurence lee reports the russian government insists it had nothing to do with the poisoning of the arch critic of president putin alexina

fighters piled into the town they were demanding the release of prisoners and also demanding the terms of a provisional deal that they made with of some factions of the army to be upheld they want to be demobilized they want to be integrated into the army for fighters to be given food rations this is something that they say they've been promised and that the army and the government have failed to deliver the army's going green trying to defeat this militia called could echo since the beginning of the they failed to do so to the militia had said you know if you can give us positions in the army food rations and so on we will come out the bush now they said this had been failed to army and failed to deliver been then it seems that the reason for this is that there isn't backing for this kind of agreement from the capital kinshasa and just 2 days ago the un's chief in congo said that they would not support this kind of demobilisation because they don't like they have done this kind of thing many times in the past they now don't want to be in

. i think the timing actually largely depends on on political pressure if we were tense such an international emergency at the moment and governments were feeling so precious to to do something about it then vaccine development would would take a lot longer than the time scales that we're seeing now the russian paper that came out today in the lancet describes how thiis one and 2 were compressed in their particular trying or so they began a feast one traveler the basic safety trial and in 5 these lito they started the feast through trial for if you can see and treat tastes not normally through 20 days before you begin your face trial at least so it should it shows how they're combining all of the stages intertwined excel and heated process know the results that have been said hope that in the lancet sure that the russian vaccines boutique

5 produces neutralizing antibodies in the volunteers neutralizing antibodies antibodies capable of binding to and activating the virus in the aborted tree so theoretically those people might actually be protected from from covert $1000.00 invention and it could be that at some point politicians will decide that that is good enough that we will we will go ahead with vaccines for release that have this kind of property even though we mean or have complete data from face the clinical trials. the u.s. economy is showing a few signs of recovery employers are cautiously hiring but so far only half of the $22000000.00 jobs lost in the pandemic and then recovered and some jobs in airlines hotels restaurants and others may be gone for good here's i was there was rob reynolds. mary benedetta lost her job as a janitor months ago when the coronavirus pandemic crashed the u.s.

economy like millions of others. she's worried for the future that's a viper. i think. for months president donald trump and his advisors have been predicting a rapid recovery and we've been talking about the v this is better than a v. this is a rocket ship from preferred to graphs economists to vaas to show the length of an economic recovery v. shaped means activity goes down fast but then rises again quickly the bulk of the evidence says we are still on track for very significant upward move and it's to be shaped recovery but many economists say no it's not the shape is not a choice right now because we had. too much firing if people are afraid of getting sick and dying they're just not going to behave. in a way that's conducive to growth more likely says

a federal reserve bank chief is an l. shaped recovery a steep fall followed by a long plateau of low growth and high unemployment a time that's required to recover is going to be a quite a bit longer than we might have otherwise expect even with effective vaccines or therapeutic methods economists say there's no question of magically returning to the free pandemic economy many jobs in affected industries may be lost forever airlines like united and american f. cut thousands of positions as have department stores clothes makers big banks and blue chip companies like 18 t. boeing and hilton hotels and the list goes on businesses are looking out at the landscape and realizing it's not going to be equipped for the other e they are then resizing in rescaling their operations to manage that situation which comes with more permanent layoffs the workers hit hardest tend to be those

not be given passports at the time the government said it was going to strip our sports from about 30 people and 26 names emerged then in may of this year in a form reply to ask the ministry of the interior said they'd already begun to strip the passports from 11 people so 26 had already shrunk to 11 and now it seems to have shrunk to 7 and no one of those names are among the names that we revealed in the cyprus papers we had about 30 people i the convicted wanted or under investigation for the crime as far as i can tell the secret government is not reacting to any of those revelations i think what's going on is that they are very . pressurised by the criticism and the fundamental criticism is what they are not addressing the fundamental criticism is that these schemes attract dirty

money they try to criminals who want to hide proceeds of crime and they track people who want to hide themselves because they're wanted in their home countries so think or in with the rules saying you're going to take the passports away from a handful of people they may think that's going to deflect the criticism but it's not going to end it. a sailor has been killed by an explosion or tanker off the coast of sri lanka 22 crew members have been rescued from. the tanker. and indian coast guard crews are trying to put out from those reports from colombo . the vessel itself is on man and all the crew have been evacuated the surviving crew there is no power because of the fire so it is drifting basically in international waters seemed that it was moving slightly towards the sri lankan
