mass action or serve the interests of the powerful he created longing for. it can obscure the truth this is a legitimate news story like this breaks and the talking coins are pretty intense because it can forge narratives or rewrite from the listening post gives you the full picture. calling for sanctions against alexander lukashenko the russian opposition leader appears before european parliamentary panel. hello and welcome i'm peter dhabi you're watching al-jazeera live from our world headquarters here in doha also ahead the un's global nuclear watchdog says iran has

complied with demands for access to sensitive sites one day after a u.s. threat to impose more sanctions. read protests in egypt demonstrators are demanding president after all fattah el-sisi step down. we will miss their context their personal conduct. a general assembly like never before world leaders is set to mark 75 years since the un's creation subdued ceremony. ok here we go the belorussian opposition leader spent long article says the e.u. must impose sanctions on the president alexander lukashenko she's in brussels today for a meeting with the e.u. used top officials the government in belarus is accusing the e.u. of interfering in its domestic affairs comes after tens of thousands of people.

launched from minsk on sunday responding to the president resigning. this is a move. me this is a leader who. the. leader. will be able. to leave. was with. me in the movie when he was. in. my pool with me and we get into these is this what you want. to do with. al-jazeera correspondent tracking the story for us in minsk is step fast and step potential all the possibility of sanctions here how do you think that will be received in minsk and also in moscow.

well the pressure is for sure it's been a delicate balancing act until now in the past 6 weeks since the start of the political crisis both the opposition and europe have been very careful not to. put in that russia because they were worried that belarus. would be much for a push towards russia than ready is the case but now patience is up this meeting between look. last week resulted in a stronger bond between the 2 leaders put it has reiterated his support again for d.m. bathilde belorussian leader has promised money $1.00 and a half 1000000000 u.s. dollars so now the opposition but also europe is feeling that russia can be engaged in a dialogue any longer so to now putting up the pressure the european parliament has also adopted a resolution saying they won't accept look past the formal press. so then all of

this any longer after the 5th of november that's when his term officially finishes and all this has led to increased anger from the side of the look at santa here in minsk also the foreign ministry has complained about the heart of this or to brussels saying that it's interfering in the mastic affairs moscow has responded angrily saying similar things also that the e.u. is under my undermining to suffer energy of belarus and that all the promises that that europe would not engage in a geopolitical battle over bellows appear to not to be true so some harsh words from him from men's and moscow at the moment i'm assuming here the protesters who've been on the streets for the best part of 6 or 7 weeks i suppose it must be the idea of sanctions they will support the they will approve of it but sanctions in of themselves it doesn't kind of cue or the crisis does it it doesn't

necessarily take any heat out of the next protest. no exactly interestingly the protesters have never really called for sanctions you wouldn't see any banners so posters are asking for sanctions also because the protesters also felt of course that this this delicate balance went to russia should not be disturbed basically they also have always been saying that they want to keep their brothers and sisters from russia as they say on their sites of what they want there so for anything they don't want to russia to interfere in these affairs here and there's also this aspect that protests are simply don't believe that sanctions are going to work they believe that look at shanksville completely ignore them as he has done in the past to have been sanctions on velour was before and that he will simply turn to russia for more help but i think for the opposition it's an important symbolic sign that they have the support of the european union to

show also to russia that they're not basically simply put into the russian corner they want to show that they have something to bargain with ok we must leave this to correspond with the reporting live for us from develop russian capital mints. the un's nuclear watchdog says iran has complied with demands for access to sensitive sites the international atomic energy agency also said that diplomacy is the way forward the comments come a day after the u.s. declared it will unilaterally reimpose sanctions on iran under a clause of the nuclear deal. we needed to continue our so important work in terms of inspections in many countries including in cases like in the islamic republic of iran we were able to solve some important difficulties we had there we stored corporation and we continue the

indispensable inspection activity in that country as in the rest of the world we weather every crisis through diplomacy and we will continue doing so well neal well iran's supreme leader says the country will not back down in the face of aggression on sunday iran's president threatened a strong response if the sanctions are reimposed britain france and germany say sanctions relief will continue as a big has more now from tehran. last month for the head of the gross he had visited iran over these 2 sites that iran had been blocking access to grossly met with president has and rouhani foreign minister divides the reef and other high ranking officials in that officials are now what came out of those meetings was that iran would grant access now the i.a.e.a. say that they have taken samples from one of these sites that allege that either

nuclear material stored or used in the early 2000 so they've taken material from one of these sites and that will be analyzed and access to the 2nd site will take place later this month nice important to note that i already has access to iran's new to clear nuclear sites and they are under $24.00 seventh's online monitoring so if the united states were looking for some 4th of against iran why the i.a.e.a. well they haven't got that the i.a.e.a. saying that the way forward is diplomacy and that will be warmly received here in the iran because they rein in officials were keen to show that they were complying they were keen to show that this was a goodwill gesture in terms of granting access to those sites. since several egyptian cities calling on the president. to step down security forces had arrested more than 1000 people ahead of the demonstrations to stop them from taking place.

welcome back you're watching out to 0 my name's peter dhabi these are your top stories again the brother russian opposition leader spoke to collapse gaius says the e.u. must impose sanctions on the president alexander lukashenko she's in brussels for a meeting with top e.u. officials. the un's nuclear watchdog says iran has complied with demands for access to sensitive sites the i.a.e.a. also said diplomacy is the way forward and that comes a day after the u.s. declared it will unilaterally re impose sanctions on iran because of the nuclear deal. and they're in protest in several egyptian cities calling on president. to step down police fired tear gas in the city of giza just south of the capital security forces had arrested more than 1000 people out of the demonstrations to stop them from taking place. now to new york leaders assert to address the united nations to mark 75 years since its creation the u.n.

secretary general antonio terrorists will open the special ceremony a day ahead of the annual general assembly but this year the event will be almost entirely virtual because of covert 19 out of the matter go to james bay as reports now from a subdued u.n. headquarters in new york. the u.n. is marking its 75th birthday but there's little mood for celebration normally leaders travel from around the world to new york this year none are coming it's all being done remotely. the general assembly hall is often packed in normal years this time it will look like this a strict limit of just one delegate per country i have the immense privilege of addressing you today president trump seen here last year had toyed with an in person visit again but he decided against it probably because of the lack lost the atmosphere. this year like all the other leaders will be on the big screen only was speeches played on video. much of the real diplomatic work is normally done join

countless face to face meetings but this year the normally bustling corridors are empty we'll do several virtual meetings with as of states in different areas that are very relevant for us but we will miss that contact that personal contact that i believe is very important for the promise it to be think when we look at the ambassador christophe poison is one of germany's most senior diplomats he was charged in the merkel's foreign affairs advisor and now serves on the un security council a bastard away speaking face to face see to be distance of course in your world diplomacy most of the meetings now virtual meetings what's lost when you don't do things in your world face to face diplomacy is about finding solutions finding compromise and you don't get that you know virtually you need to talk to to you know to to the people that have different opinions you have to be able to sort out

compromise you have to find out where the red lines and you cannot do that sitting back home and go on on screen you need these personal meetings there's one place that the lack of world leaders at this year's general assembly will be celebrated and that's among the population of this city it means they'll be no closed roads and no traffic jams with armored convoys on the city's streets. and james joins us live now from the u.n. in new york so james hi there is going to be a very different general assembly this year. yes it is peter but clearly the 1st day of this is a celebration all the u.n. hopes a celebration happy birthday 75 years to the u.n. of course 75 years ago there was a general assembly at this time if you're a stickler it took place in the january of 1946 and then the world leaders had no

choice but to come at that point the 1st one was in london in person now the un is saying there is no choice but to have this virtually they didn't have the technology 75 years ago they do now and because of the pandemic they're going to use it the u.n. had been hoping the 75th year was going to be a really important one to rebuild international cooperation to rebuild the idea of multilateralism no the big test this year clearly has been coded 19 and that's been a test that i think in many ways the international system has failed because leaders have looked to their own national responses rather than an international response from all the nations in the un this year is look rather irrelevant and coronavirus the pandemic that of course front and center this week absolutely so what are we hoping to hear from world leaders and what can be done in

terms of international cooperation i put that point to the head of the world health organization dr ted ross. one major problem that we see now in the world is lack of global solidarity. not working together so they should if they are really. you know if they're going to show commitment to defeating this pandemic it's by have being in solidarity that's number 1. 1 of the more important meetings on the corona virus will be on a vaccine a clear we don't have a vaccine yet but the big challenge is if we get one how do you distribute that vaccine how do you make it available to everyone in the world that's one of the

challenges facing world leaders peter but clearly there will also be looking at all the other very difficult issues and conflicts in the world over the next week or so sure understood james will keep us posted i'm sure in the meantime thank you very much james diplomatic editor. the u.s. democratic nominee joe biden has criticized president donald trump and leading republicans for pushing to replace the late supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg he said would be an abuse of power before the presidential election on november the 1st and senators to delay a confirmation vote until after that date alan fisher has the latest now from washington. the supreme court has suddenly become the dominant election issue in the united states donald trump says he's going to move forward with filling a b. can see this week democratic challenger joe biden says with early voting already under way that simply wrong the people of this nation are choosing their future right now as they vote to jam this nomination through the senate is just an

exercise in raw political power. no i don't believe the people of this nation will stand for. president trump told a rally in south carolina on saturday he's sending his nomination for consideration to the senate this week it will be a woman a very talented very brave if. you average joe's in yet but we have numerous women on the list that are thought to be 2 leading candidates amy corny but it is an appeals court judge a favorite of conservatives and has been considered for earlier vacancies and there's barbarella go up a lot and move in from florida which would be the more political choice but the white house might not be able to push through any nomination before the election in the last 45 years the process has taken on average 68 days the election is just over 40 days away and there's questions about the president even making a nomination before november the 3rd texas republican senator ted cruz is in no

doubt that in order for a supreme court nomination to go forward you have to have the president and the senate in this instance the american people voted they elected donald trump but there's potential for the court to become the center of a constitutional crisis if republicans can push through a nomination before the election let me try to do it before the inauguration on january 20th but if joe biden wins that election that could cause problems the democratic leader of the house says the of ways to delay a nomination we have our options we have arrows in aquiver that i'm not about to discuss right now but the fact is we have a big challenge in our country republicans see the vacancy as an opportunity to change the face of the supreme court securing a conservative majority for years to come and they also believe it could galvanize support around donald trump both know and on election day and of people are talking about this they're not talking about the u.s.

reaction to covert about unemployment or about health care all big issues before the death of a supreme court justice. alan fischer al-jazeera washington. one of the rising stars of the democratic party had this message for the republican party leader in the senate to mitch mcconnell we need to tell him that he is playing with fire we need to make sure that this vacancy is protected that our election continues and that the american people have their say. some of the world's biggest bang trillions of dollars in suspected illicit funds to be transferred from a report by the international consortium of investigative journalists 15 big banks including h.s.b.c. standard chartered and the central bank of the u.a.e. it says they sent more than 2000 course suspicious activity reports the u.s.

all important question is there any room for compromise so that the chilean state and them approaches can co-exist in peace. and he said an emblematic mcclinton uncle or chief was wrongfully imprisoned for 5 years under chile's controversial antiterrorism law today he condemns the violence carried out by a whom he calls a minority of map which a radicals look at what lies ahead this terrible no one says it but this violence the killing of innocent people will bring sorrow at a more forward plea to all of us the divisions among us are tragedy but do our best . rival mapuche is protested outside of choosing 1000000 of betrayal he and other long state officials last week to present a 12 point list of demands they include recognition of the language culture social order and autonomy in their territory. the current constitution doesn't

recognize indigenous peoples existence but next month chileans are almost certain to approve the creation of a new constitution which could pave the way for significant changes he said wanted to see hopefully a new constitution if it recognises chillers indigenous people will help but he won't guarantee respect which is very different but it's an important step. that the my putting and children's rights activist believes teaching chileans to recognize and respect my particular street and culture are key. but while there is growing public support for them up which a cause distrust of the chilean state and its institutions remain deep rooted. and how much both sides are willing to concede especially on the crucial issue of land ownership would terminate whether or not there can be peace in this volatile region. you see in yemen al jazeera will you believe cheney. a memorial
