al-jazeera. the u.s. is always open for the people the world people pay attention to what you call here now does it is very good to bring the news to the world. the u.s. says sanctions have been really imposed on iran but members of the u.n. security council are refusing to comply. and this is al jazeera live from coming up protesters in bangkok challenge the monarchy with a plaque declaring thailand belongs to the people. the. president trump says he could choose

a successor to supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg is early as next week. and off the rails hundreds of thousands of people are left stranded in south africa's railway system grinds to a halt. the u.s. has broken with all other permanent members of the un security council and declared the reimposition of sanctions on iran america's major allies britain france and germany say sanctions relief will continue the dispute is over whether iran the iran nuclear deal that washington pulled out of 2 years ago the other signatories say the u.s. no longer has the legal power to force through any changes how they plan to get it to james space reports. it's aroud it's even pitted the u.s. against some of its closest allies and it's now over 5 years since the iran

nuclear deal was signed in vienna joining the negotiations the us team under the leadership of the then secretary of state john kerry devised a mechanism called snap back if iran breached its commitments all international sanctions could snap back into place but that's not the way things played out the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal it was the us under president trump that pulled out of the deal 2 years ago. despite this in objections from the rest of the international community the u.s. still argues it could trigger a snapback the one thing that the previous administration got right is they created provision where under u.n. security council resolution 2231. any one of the nations identified there had the right to say we want the sanctions that were in place prior to this that moment to snap back and that's what will do the rest of the world have ignored the u.s.

declaration and in some ways more important than snap back is what happens on november the 3rd but one of the diplomats who negotiated the iran deal told me even if joe biden is elected president on that day getting back into the deal might not be that easy i don't think it's as easy as some people have made it out to be. a president i'm certain i don't want that yet and then everything distributed we go back to school and i think actually you're i mean on certain points you argue that 8 man out and say she or the sanctions or other countries may see the united states issues coming out of. your ass so i think it's going to be much more complicated than just. yet diplomats say behind the. seems a great deal of pressure was put on the other members of the security council to support the u.s. position only one country the small nation of dominican republic did so whatever

washington says it seems that the plan to snap back sanctions has failed james al-jazeera at the united nations. and last have begun is live from tehran and joins us from there so what's iran saying about this u.s. they're courageous. well iran stance has been pretty much consistent throughout that is that the united states left the 2015 nuclear deal and is and no place to reimpose sanctions on iran that iran considers not legal however . has been speaking and there does seem to be some concern from here into iran how the united states will carry out these. as they see it and there's concern that they could stop iranian. tankers on the seas and jihads raef said that there would be a firm response in the face of u.s. piracy on the high seas speaking to people here in iran both there's concern that

the u.s. sanctions are already affecting the economy and that it can't get much worse but there is a fear that could be an impact but also towards raef expressed some of his frustration with the europeans iran is concerned it's not enough that they just abstain or they stay quiet or they say that they are poles u.s. sanctions they were iran wants the europeans to find a way around the u.s. sanctions are already in place but also have now that the united states sees that these sanctions united nations sanctions which are separate have been reimposed iran is looking to see how the u.s. will carry out these actions and they're looking forward to tolbert the 18th when the arms embargo is set to expire now divides re said that there's not much trade there's not any trade in fact in terms of arms between europe and iran and iran is looking towards their allies. russia and china to buy and sell weapons from so

looking forward to that date that's the important date october 18th when the arms embargo expires iran is said that's very important for them and that's their right to be able to buy and sell arms but the united states is opposed to that and says that they will try to stop that any way that they can about the broader iranian economy how is that likely to be impacted by this u.s. announcement. well the iranians are already under u.s. sanctions so there's no international banking iran can't sell its oil and the revenues they had from oil it can't bring that cash back into the country any assets outside of the country they can't get that money into the country struggling with medicine so the country's already under united states sanctions in terms of the currency the currency has lost massive value but it's again looking at how the united states will try to impose these knighted nations sanctions and again the

earrings are looking to the europeans and the rest of the world and saying well ok fine you you oppose the united states stance but how are you going to help iran get around it so the economy is already struggling and when we were speaking to people yesterday outside in the streets here into iran they were saying it's really bad as it is but yes we do fear that it could get worse. thanks so much. tens of thousands of type protesters have ended a new round of demonstrations by presenting a set of demands to the monarchy it calls for the king's power to be limited new constitution and elections criticism of the monarchy is illegal in thailand demonstrators also placed a plot next to the grand palace in bangkok declaring the nation belongs to the people more protests are planned for 1st day and the general strike next month. when hay has more from bangkok 7. well the significance 1st of all is the location

where the protest was held tens of thousands of people turning out on saturday and where this park has been place. which is the park that you mentioned just across the road from the grand palace it's a historic site it's been the scene of many royal ceremonies for centuries and it used to be a place that was open to the general public to use during the day as well but in recent years that's not been the case it's been off limits to the public so the protest leaders made it clear that that was one of their targets they wanted to retake this park for the people and that's exactly what they did and in the early hours of sunday morning they dug up a section of the concrete in the park and place this plaque into that area and now the significance of the park itself is that it commemorates the 1932 revolution that turned thailand from an absolute monarchy into a constitutional one so the plaque says that thailand is for the people not just for the king 3 years ago an official plaque in another location nearby mysteriously

disappeared overnight so that was seen by many certainly the protesters here and as another sign that the king was strengthening his power and perhaps turning thailand back into an absolute monarchy again. u.s. president donald trump says he will nominate a woman to replace supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg who died on saturday he's promising to move quickly despite objections from democrats they say the winner of november's election should make the decision 2016 republicans refuse to consider president barack obama's choice for the court on the grounds it was an election year john hendren reports. president donald trump says he will appoint a woman next week to succeed justice ruth bader ginsburg who died on friday to the u.s. supreme court it will be a woman a very talented very very. with

trump's rival democrat joe biden insisting that the next president should name a successor the nomination battle puts ginsburg at the center of yet another supreme fight even after her death let me be clear that the voters should pick the president the president should pick the justice for the senate to consider trump might face obstacles within his own party in a statement republican senator susan collins said i do not believe the senate should vote on a nominee prior to the election but republican leaders in the senate which confirm supreme court justices have vowed to move quickly i think they'll pick someone who is ready to i hit the ground running as they say ready to go before a committee almost senate moments notice and begin to circulate on capitol hill and it courtesy calls for the death of the supreme court justice just $46.00 days before a presidential election has the republican senate majority leader mitch mcconnell

parsing his own words after refusing to consider then president barack obama's nominee for 237 days to day i am nominating chief judge merrick bryant garland to join the supreme court at the time mcconnell said the election was too close to approve a nominee the senate will appropriately revisit the matter when it considers the qualifications of the nominee the next president nominates whoever that might be now mcconnell has vowed to go ahead even though this time the vacancy occurred less than 7 weeks before an election only one nomination has come closer to election day that was in $1064.00 now ginsberg's name is attached to another struggle this time over her successor john hendren l.g. 0 chicago. well still ahead i'll just say here are the chinese act to talk is being

allowed to operate in the u.s. for now despite the national security concerns. and after a day of violence against women is set for another major rally in capital minsk. and there's some pretty good weather conditions across central and eastern areas of europe and also good across the southwest little is this been streaming in of some pretty heavy rain amongst the and some thunderstorms and we'll still really watching this sickles this medication storm and this is just some of the damage that has been done in the last 24 hours really throughout friday own that it is still mccall's continuing to move south but you can see here certainly this is the western side of main one greece but also across the on into catalonia was really

badly hit just look at these images that have been captured here thankfully there have been no reports of any injuries or deaths either but the system will continue to work south through sunday that does mean some heavy rain across into crete it's a very slow moving storm and the winds could still be fairly strong as well at times but generally it is a much better picture in the wake of that system than elsewhere in europe as a says about the system in the southwest heavy rain into spain much of france as well becoming havea in the day there's another system across the phone. to push on sunday bringing their shyness and strong winds across coastal areas of norway and again on monday that rain very widespread across areas of france but it's fine in london for the next few days sunny skies some clouds on wednesday. frank assessments seeing that in yemen.

we see this it's an informed opinion which is ethiopia on the verge of breakdown many parts of the overall media region are actually under a de facto state of emergency critical debate after he does not have recent interest of the libyan people in depth analysis of the day's global headlines inside story or now just 0. welcome back you're watching al-jazeera time to recap the headlines the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o. is threatening consequences if the u.n. fails to reimpose sanctions against iran but britain france and germany insist

relief will remain as part of the 2015 nuclear deal tens of thousands of type protesters have ended a new round of demonstrations by presenting a set of demands to the monarchy it calls for limits to the king's power a new constitution and elections. president donald trump says he'll nominate a woman to replace u.s. supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg who died on friday democrats say the nomination should wait until after november's election. staying in the u.s. and trump says he'll approve a deal to allow the social media platform tick tock to keep operating in america the chinese will partner with the u.s. firms oracle and wal-mart the white house has applied pressure on the company over what it called national security concerns a ban on new downloads has been delayed by a week. project julie i think it's a great deal for america they'll be hiring at least 25000 people it will most

likely be. exult braided in texas it will be a brand new company. he will have nothing to do with. any outside land that the. country. will have nothing to do with. alarm again is a tank honest he says the deal is interesting because it combines oracle and wal-mart's different strengths well it means presumably if they mean that he stays with saying it's on an on again off again that oracle would run at least the data aspect of the us operations in oracle of course is very good when it comes to online security they don't have any experience with consumer products but of course wal-mart does so perhaps a oracle wal-mart combination might make some sense but remember this is a product that's years primarily by young people teenagers and very young adults so having a enterprise business related company running it could be problematic if oracle

were doing it all by itself i think it's mostly political although if i were trump i'd be careful about alienating so many young people who use a kick cut many of them are voters but having said that i think it's partially its relationship with china and partially in the fact that it is at least the erotically corsa bill for a bike and the company that owns the cock have access to a certain amount of data from us innocent so the issue is will oracle make sure that the data doesn't get into the chinese hands and if that's the deal the china might make some of the money but not have access to the data and that could certainly address u.s. security concerns colombia's president even decay once his venezuelan count of how to be prosecuted as a war criminal colombian leader made the plane during a visit by the us secretary of state mike pompei oh and while i'm president across maduna as accused on pile of war mongering daniel sean the reports. the u.s. secretary of state might bomb bale came to south america to strengthen an 18 month
