a policy fellow at the european leaders should network he says the un's nuclear agency has been able to properly moloto iran for many years. the agency and iran have come to an agreement on the issues that they had over 2 particular sites but even through the coded pandemic the agency has been granted access to all of the sites that you were on is meant to give access to last year there was a record number of over $400.00 inspections in addition to kind of complimentary access visits which are on short notice and also real time monitoring through the incredible verification technology that's part of the iran nuclear deal last week we had the i.a.e.a. board of governors convening where the u.s. tried to again. so-called iranian noncompliance with the agreement but they were very isolated the meeting this week the i.a.e.a.
5:35 pm
general conference is an annual gathering where all member states not just the ones on the eve board of governors will meet to approve the agency's budget to discuss outstanding issues etc but the general consensus is that the meeting will not have iran feature heavily on the agenda as it did in last week at the board of governors meeting and that's mainly because the agency and iran are in a good place at the moment a new long as come into force in the spanish capital cases rise across europe more than 150000 people in the worst hit districts of madrid are affected when they allowed to leave their areas for work school health care spain has the highest number of corona virus infections in europe with more than 640000 confirmed cases. new rules are also being implemented in 2 french cities virus red zones france reported more than 10000 new corona virus infections on sunday down called spine
5:36 pm
the previous day but the number of deaths is rising for the 1st time since the nationwide long term is lifted in may and fashionable clothes following the latest developments across europe well is cause for concern because in the past 24 hours we've seen 10000 new cases of corona virus being registered and we've seen cases climb steadily over the last few weeks what we haven't seen until now though is hospital admissions really going up but that does seem to change doctors in some cities including mass same bordeaux is saying they're saying that they're seeing so many people coming into hospitals now that the intensive care unit could be under serious pressure very soon if that continues to be the case now the french government is continuing to tell people to be extremely vigilant and what it's done in order to try and avoid a national knock down because that's something that the government or said
5:37 pm
repeatedly wants to do it is given all thor it is in the regions and the local regions to put in place local restrictions across europe there's difficult balance that has to be met by governments on one hand trying to keep economies afloat on the other hand trying to protect people's wellbeing and their health and what we're seeing in spain a country that was so badly affected in march and april at the height of the pandemic then we're seeing cases rise again rapidly in the madrid region local authorities there putting in a partial lockdown people are being urged to stay at home in many districts but they can still go out to work so again trying to keep the economy afloat trying to keep people in jobs but nevertheless these restrictions will affect more than 800000 people. the u.k.'s chief medical advisors of war in the country could see up to 50000 run a virus cases per day if urgent action isn't taken in countries battling
5:38 pm
a rapidly growing number of new infections let's say there were 5000 today would be 10000 next week 20000 a week after 40000 we can of them and you can see the primate october if that continued you would end up with something like 50000 cases in the middle of october per day $50000.00 cases but. would be expected to lead a month later so the middle of november say to $200.00 plus deaths per day parts of sudan are bracing for more heavy rain as the cleanup from earlier floods continues more than one $120.00 people died and least 100000 homes have been damaged to add to the difficulties sudan's currency is declining against the u.s. dollar as leading to inflation and an increase in food prices head of morgan has this update from. town along the river niles banks. the river nile is starting to
5:39 pm
recede here in sudan after causing devastating floods which has affected more than 770000 people countrywide and destroyed more than 140000 homes now most of the damage has been along the areas that lie on the banks of the nile river one of them being this area of chicago and river and i would state now people here say more than 100 homes have been completely damaged you can see some of the damages here they say that last rains have completely collapsed resulting in sewage water coming out and this is the what level for the past 12 days now they say they have not seen the water receding yet and they're concerned about water borne diseases they said that they wanted the government to come and spray pesticide insecticide so that they can kill the moscow lover now that all hasn't happened and they're saying that they don't know what will come next because there has been no plan given to them by the government in terms of compensation the government says that the effects of the damage will be felt for months and it's very hard to conclude how much was lost
5:40 pm
financially and how many people will be affected long term by the floods but people here say they know what their needs are they know that they need shelters they know that they need medications and they know that they need pesticides so many demands that they say the government needs to respond to in time so that the effects of the floods are not felt for a long time to come. u.s. democratic nominee joe biden has criticized president trump and leading republicans who are pushing to replace the late supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg he said that would be an abuse of power before november's presidential election and urge senators to delay a confirmation vote until afterwards alan fischer reports 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 big can see this week democratic challenger joe biden says with early voting already underway that's simply wrong the people of this nation are choosing their
5:41 pm
future right now as they vote to jam this nomination through the senate is just an exercise in the wrong 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 connie bennett 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
5:42 pm
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 and 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
5:43 pm
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 well some of the world's largest banks have allowed trillions of dollars in suspected illicit funds to be transferred according to a report by the international consortium of investigative journalists it names 15 major banks including h.s.b.c. standard chartered and the central bank of the u.a.e. it says they send more than 2000 suspicious activity reports to u.s. authorities over 17 years these are not necessarily proof of wrongdoing but the report says banks allowed money to be moved despite concerns over the origins shares in h.s.b.c. and standard chartered fell to their lowest levels and $998.00 after the report was released both banks say they reformed and invested heavily in their ability to

fight financial crime. martini is a policy expert on corrupt money flows transparency international says the investigation reveals serious systemic flaws with the global financial system. if you look at the types of mistakes that are there are things that we have been seeing in the ninety's and we continue to see in 201520162 time in 17 and the line of the banks has always seemed to something of the past it is actually the same mistakes being repeated over and over again what we see is that there's really a need here for severe be sufficient to be a strain to all targets shouldn't be waiting and to wrong doing is attracted to techie spanx have adequate money laundering programs in place and to see whether they actually implemented them effectively and then we really need to change our sanctions rechy we need banks and senior managers to be subject to effective and
5:45 pm
dissuasive sanctions otherwise i would say they have very little incentive to attack high risk clients and say no to the right to money and i think lastly one of the things that i also haven't changed much in the last year is that the panama papers back in 2016 are ready to show to us how in money most companies were crucial to corrupt and primos that wanted to who wanted to move money i crossed a restrictions and here again these reports were show that for the great majority of files that were reported by banks they didn't manage to to identify the real interview to be hard before behind the companies that they were making chills actions so here it shows once again that the u.s. in particularly in needs really to put an end to anonymous companies. well still ahead on al-jazeera i want to see if you have a region. where
5:47 pm
5:48 pm
a popular tourist area and this one is home and one of the largest herds of elephants in southern africa now during the dry season he was moved from country to country in the region looking for water an official here in zimbabwe a thing they seeing something similar they're saying the past few weeks or months dozens of elephants have also died in this country they've been samples to south africa and the united kingdom for taste is still waiting for those results of because of covert 19 national parks in many parts of the region had been closed and so range they've been sent home and into the bobby it means that very seriously should we were able to patrol these parts and to assess the elephants have actually been affected packs of recently opened in zimbabwe because you say they're not going to try and increase those patrols and also try to use drones now if the body is not. a stranger to elephants dying for example over the years i gave elephants die from cyanide poisoning with coaches put cyanide in the water to kill these animals and when you find these animals they don't have the touch on them but this
5:49 pm
time these elephants are being found with. this is a suspect that the elephant in the mojave could be dikembe the same bacteria that caused the deaths of hundreds of elephants in was one of the countries are talking to each other to find their way forward to find out if it is confirmed that both countries are affected by this bacteria what is the next step forward and i can to prevent more animals from actually dying. the richest one percent of the global population is responsible for more carbon emissions than half of the world's population that's the assessment of oxfam and the stockholm environment institute the wealthiest one percent is responsible for 15 percent of all carbon emissions of the poorest half of the world's population is responsible for 7 percent from 1990 to 2050 in the world used as much carbon as it did in the previous 140 years or the report urges governments to cut emissions by introducing wealth and carbon taxes on luxury items. what's really the problem what we're really stressing here
5:50 pm
is that we are running out of time we can't continue with in this same model of highly unequal and carbon intensive growth there is no more time left the remaining global carbon budget to keep global heating below the target that was set by governments in the paris agreement a few years ago that will run out of current rates in the next 10 years so we need governments to change course urgently now before it's too late i think if there's one thing that we've learnt through the global pandemic is firstly that governments can take quite radical action things that would have seemed unthinkable just one year ago all of a sudden being discussed and also all of us as individuals we've all been made quite drastic changes in our lives and it shows that it is possible now that's happened in a very unplanned chaotic often unfair way for millions of people around the world but it shows that we can organize our societies differently when we're faced with
5:51 pm
a really urgent threat what we need now is to move to a planned fair democratic adjust transition to a low carbon world that's got to happen now so we're calling on government that are planning their recoveries from the pandemic to put tackling climate change and inequality at the heart of those efforts that the only way that will be able to support reducing poverty around the world while preventing the preventing the worst effects of runaway climate change and it's going to happen now. as chile is indigenous but puts a conflict escalates some are hoping the writing of a new constitution could lay the ground for peace in southern chile latin america editor lucien newman reports from. 21 year old mark brandon and lucas winterkorn was brought up to respect julian institutions including the police that is until the day 4 years ago when a special forces officer shot him in the back at point blank range in front of his house the no apparent reason. i remember all our dogs run up to me and started

is by no means the only man who's been wrongfully shot killed or imprisoned by police. centuries of injustice and discrimination are feeding a rebellion and armed groups are increasingly resorting to violence to expel those whom they say have usurped their land and driven them into poverty nearly 140 years ago the chilean states recognize them approaches ownership of much of this territory. so a land title is called the mirror says today most chileans believe it's too late to turn the clock back and return the land to the mob or just which raises the all important question is there any room for compromise so that the chilean state and the mob porches can co-exist in peace. and he said had not been an emblematic mark continue long or chief was wrongfully imprisoned for 5 years under chile's controversial antiterrorism law today he condemns the violence carried out by whom
