3:01 am
richard. harris and trade and a shocking presentation by a fellow who says main opposition opposition leader fails to get e.u. foreign ministers to agree on sanctions. the u.s. has set the stage for a showdown at the u.n. general assembly this week slapping additional sanctions on iran that followed the trumpet ministrations disputed weekend declaration that all un penalties eased on the 2050 nuclear deal had been restored nearly all u.n. members including u.s. allies in europe reject this the new sanctions many target those involved in iran's defense sectors just imagine what iran would do therefore able to freely purchase more advanced weapons we have no intention of letting that happen. the president's executive order announced today gives us a new and powerful tool to enforce the u.n.
3:02 am
arms embargo and hold those who seek to evade u.n. sanctions accountable today i will take the 1st action under this new executive order by sanctioning the are a ministry of defense and armed forces logistics. and iran's defense industries organization and its director christensen to me is the united nations question so we're still waiting to hear from the iranians at the u.n. what are they like to say about the u.s. reimposing those sanctions. while the speech that we're expecting to hear from iranian foreign minister divides our reef is a pre-taped speech that was made before the u.s. made its announcement that it was reimposing sanctions on iran of course everyone knew that that announcement was coming including the iranians and even as secretary of state may come he was making the announcement the foreign minister was speaking
3:03 am
remotely to an audience here in the united states about the nuclear deal and about the u.s. actions he called them irresponsible and he called the nuclear deal that iran signed with the united states and 5 other countries back in 2015 still very much alive despite the fact that the united states has withdrawn from it. we know that. the foreign minister is likely to stress in his talk the importance of multilateralism we may actually hear a more diplomatic. comments more diplomatic comments from him because this is a formal setting this is supposed to be the kickoff to the 75th anniversary of the united nations the general assembly that's biggest event of the year when countries normally come together to talk. and he is likely to reaffirm the importance of multilateralism and keeping international agreements
3:04 am
a direct response to the united states not honoring that international agreement and pulling out of the nuclear deal and then attempting to use that very same nuclear deal that it rejected to reimpose sanctions internationally on iran so it will be interesting to see how strong and how forceful he is but clearly there will be a message directed at the united states here elijah christensen we live for. the u.n. in new york christiane thank you. well al jazeera as i said begg is in the iranian capital tehran and he explained the internal political divisions over how iran should respond we had foreign minister say that these new sanctions are nothing new that the intention of the united states was to bring the population to its knees and they have failed but what the real question is how iran will respond to the united states and how the united states decides to impose the these u.n. sanctions as they see it now within iran this lots of political differences
3:05 am
president hassan rouhani and his reformists are defending the deal domestically because there has been some opposition to it but the conservative and hardliners who make up the majority of parliament well they want a stronger response if those sanctions are put back in place in fact the head of the commission of foreign policy and national security has said that iran should return to pre-judge a nuclear state which means that a high level of enrichment more centrifuges more advanced centrifuges should be used and nuclear propellant should be used to aid iran's navy and there's also suggestions from some of the conservatives here that should reduce its cooperation with the i.a.e.a. in terms of reducing or limiting the amount of inspections that take place but president hassan rouhani is very much invested in the. 2015 nuclear deal and he's policy and he's allies policy is wait and see what happens and then looking forward to the u.s.
3:06 am
elections but ultimately iran's response will come down to how the united states reacts to what the united states does if they start stopping iranian ships and also how the united nations and other countries around the world will react if they willingly or reluctantly start to give in to u.s. pressure and start imposing these sanctions then we could very much see a very tough or a tougher stance a response coming from iran. now governments around the world are reluctantly reimposing with 9000 restrictions as the global death toll nears 1000000 parts of spain's capital madrid are now back in lockdown the country recorded more than 100000 new cases in the past 2 weeks while neighboring france has seen rising intensive care admissions and deaths meanwhile british prime minister boris johnson is considering a 2nd national lockdown his top medical adviser has warned of 50000 infections a day by october if immediate action isn't taken and it's estimated infections
3:07 am
across africa have now passed $1400000.00 nearly half of this total is in south africa alone and the us is on the verge of recording 200000 coded 19 deaths well alan fischer joins us live now from outside the white house allan so president trump has been speaking at a campaign rally in ohio that's despite the us closing in on that target 220-0000 deaths from the coded 1000 pandemic jump seems to be ignoring this grim milestone alan. and he's about to start his 2nd campaign event in ohio if it isn't actually underway already and from people on the growing or hearing that there are very few in the crowd that are wearing masks donald trump hasn't acknowledged the role he's played in the corporate crisis in the united states should remember that when asked if he took any responsibility he said he took no responsibility at all when he talks about it he talks in terms of china sending this virus to the u.s. and how he's very angry at china he did address the whole question of the pandemic
3:08 am
before he left the white house to head to those events but he was talking in terms of therapeutics and vaccines saying that what was well underway in both of those and he expects good news in the very near future you'll remember of course that a few months back he said that if there was 100000 deaths in the united states and that was the projections that they were getting then he would have done a very good job here we are looking at double that number just as a matter of interest the national cathedral here in washington on sunday called their bells 200 times 410000 victims 1000 victims of what has happened in the u.s. with the corporate crisis allan let's talk about joe biden because he's also been talking again about trump's handling of the pandemic what's he been saying well he says that donald trump has failed the american people that he simply hasn't done enough to protect them he's making the point that there are almost 200000 deaths
3:09 am
that figure will past very very soon and he said according to the latest figures the next 3 months could be as bad as the next is the past 6 months in fact that we could be looking at $200000.00 deaths before the end of the year from note and they accuse the president of double standards. trump keeps his distance from anyone in the route. the folks who car. are packed in tight as they can be. risky you see mostly with that they're not trying to be safe keep his distance as a reporter they showed up a couple days ago reporter trying to come up with some comparison are you going to keep your distance i don't get close to these people. really like everybody else in the crowd mr lott but not here. that campaign event joe biden made no mention of
3:10 am
the supreme court vacancy something that donald trump's been talking a lot about over the last few days that's because joe biden believes that if it continues to hammer the message about the white house's response to corporate the number of job losses that's created how health care could be impacted by the sheer number of people passing through the system when many americans don't have insurance those are vote when nurse for him and that's a message she's going to continue to hammer until november the thought all right to an official there outside the white house allan thank you our desires need barker's in london he reports on the precarious situation faced by european governments the british government's been accused of sleep walking into a 2nd surge of coronavirus if so this was the alarm call dispassionate data delivered by the you case chief medical and scientific officers showing a doubling of infections every week let's say that there were 5000 today would be
3:11 am
10000 next week 20000 a week after 40000 the week of them and you can see that by mid october if that continued you would end up with something like $50000.00 cases in the middle of october per day. more infections mean the likelihood of more deaths urgent action is needed elsewhere in europe spain's ruled out a 2nd national lockdown favoring partial restrictions where contagion levels are highest in the capital madrid police checkpoints are back the city's poorest areas are suffering the most a blow for businesses already on the breadline. in the czech republic a surge in cases has cost the country's health minister his job restrictions lifted months ago and now likely to return france greece and denmark have also imposed measures in virus hotspots while health authorities in italy say the average age of patients is creeping up risking more deaths governments across europe are wrestling
3:12 am

3:17 am
fight against death we are making an effort so a person can recover but sometimes it's difficult because their bodies are in a very bad shape and many believe this is a joke an underestimate the virus but this virus killed us. a few months ago the hospital was forced to close this unit because of the number of infections among health care workers even argentina was one of the 1st countries in latin america to the whole. a lockdown the virus has continued to spread but the quarantine was crucial to allow the health ministry to get ready for the workers who are here in the intensive care unit never public hospital in websites and what we're being told is that they build this wall for example in the past month among other things to protect the health care workers. this is the hospital in what our site is named after the wife of former president juan put on since march the hospital has
3:18 am
increased its i.c.u. beds from 4 to 24. only runs the hospital and says the pandemic shows the importance of the public health care system when it comes to saving lives. based less hello we have a profound sense of what public health means we have policies that promotes the right to health and that makes us proud there are more vaccines there are more supplies with hard more people there is a pandemic that is killing health workers destroying families we have the time to prepare i'm not crucial i argentina has been a lock down for 6 months but the government has been slowly opening up some sectors of the economy in an effort to save jobs despite an infection rate that remains high in greater want to. the situation is different in other parts of the country reports indicate that covert $900.00 prating 2 provinces that a few months ago had 0 cases in the city of iran in northern argentina hospitals are also under strain. he said i mean the man i'll tell you the truth this is held
3:19 am
stay at home get bored to tire yourself out enjoy your children paint do whatever you can stay at home 10 seconds out on the street it's like having a loaded gun to your chest it's preferable to bore yourself out at home than to come here and cry out god don't take me or to cry out for oxygen. early on argentina successfully managed to contain the spread of covert 19 now authorities are hoping the health care system will be stable enough to cope with the uncertainty in the months ahead. when aside for more now from the un whose general assembly this year coincides with its 75th anniversary the summit is happening mostly via video link due to the pandemic u.n. secretary general antonio guterres urged countries to unify and support the un's work those sentiments were echoed by the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov
3:20 am
during his pretty call that address was easily lead the world is tired of dividing lines dividing states interest them and us the world requires increasing multilateral multilateral assistance and cooperation in other words the aims that were laid down 75 years ago in the u.n. was founded a more timely than ever we also must restate our commitment to the u.n. charter on the norms of international law. is that diplomatic editor james bays. this was a major set piece of vent 75 years of the united nations a glitzy video speeches by the secretary general and for leaders around the world now the pride of place as the host nation the 1st speech was reserved for president donald trump he didn't submit a speech and because his secretary of state might pompei o and his ambassador to the u.n. kelly craft were in washington for that event on iran sanctions instead it was left to a state department official relatively low level the acting deputy ambassador to the
3:21 am
u.n. to give the u.s. address the 75th anniversary of the u.n. is the right time to ask questions about the institutions strengths and weaknesses review and learn from its failures and celebrate its accomplishments it seems pretty certain that on choose day president donald trump will be making an address to take to address to the u.n. general assembly and people will be focusing on his comments on iran and on snapback 5 cameroonians soldiers have been sentenced for the execution style killings of 2 women and their children in 2015 the murders were captured on video which circulated 3 years later amnesty international was behind the push to have the case investigated properly after the government initially denied the army's involvement but address has more from a budget in nigeria. activists say they expected stiffer penalties from the judges saying that would discourage soldiers from torture extrajudicial killing an
3:22 am
arbitrary arrest things that we allegations been leveled against soldiers not only income at all but other like child regions or looked at countries like nigeria chad and the republic of nigeria we've also heard and so stories like that coming from the king of fossil and molly while government soldiers are fighting from islamic state to al-qaeda now this is a case that became really a government initially denied has taken place calling it fake news but after pressure from civil society groups and rights activists the government decided to investigate the case farther now the military challenged 7 people initially to what cleared and then the 5 was sentenced 4 of them got 10 years in jail and the other got a 2 year sentence a lot of people worried about the increasing cases of rights abuses by soldiers in the lake chad and the rest of this the hell by soldiers who are fighting either
3:23 am
bopara or the islamic state and many people believe that taking such measures would discourage cooperation from the civilian population right now the civilian population in those countries between iraq and a hard place facing threats from the armed groups in the region as well as retaliatory measures from soldiers who believe they're not getting enough cooperation from the civilian population now is chill a's indigenous matthew cheik conflict escalates some of hoping that the writing of the new constitution could lay the groundwork for reconciliation and peace in the trouble torn region of southern chile armed groups fighting for ancestral land rights and the heightened presence of militarized police have increased violence in the region a latin america etc sentiment reports from. 21 year old man brandon and lucas winterkorn was brought up to respect julian institutions including the police that is until the day 4 years ago when
3:24 am
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 licking my blood off the floor like an animal i could see the hole in my back that's when i think it was 17 operations later he still carrying more than 100 lead pellets in his body yet what has most enraged the family is the fact that the offending officer is still free despite all the evidence against him now brandon's once docile mapuche a mother has become a tireless activist for months ago the family took older $200.00 hectares of this land that legally belongs to a chilean family rather than fight the owners met them up which is family state marks if they were discovered in mobile there's no equality or justice for them uppity here there's only justice for the rich and powerful this land recovery's a way to compensate for the damage they've done many are afraid to do this but we
3:25 am
have pigskins to resist all the prosecutions and mitigation and. brandon is by no means the only man who's been wrongfully shot killed or imprisoned by police . centuries of injustice and discrimination are feeding i'm approaching rebellion and armed groups are increasingly resorting to violence to expel those who 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 through a land titles called to tell us the mayor 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 them approaches can co-exist in peace. and he settled and emblematic not
3:26 am
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 he calls a minority of my putting 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 to all of us the divisions among us our tragedy but do our best. while rival mapuche is protested outside accusing the dean 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 wanted to see
3:27 am
hopefully a new constitution if it recognises chile as indigenous people will help but he won't guarantee respect which is very different but it's an important step. that the map put it in children's rights activist believes teaching chileans to recognize and respect a particular street and culture are key. but while there is growing public support for them up which it cause distrust of the chilean state and its institutions remain deep rooted. how much both sides are willing to concede especially on the crucial issue of land ownership will determine whether or not there can be peace in this volatile region. you see in human al-jazeera will you believe chile. now the world's richest one percent is responsible for more carbon emissions than half of the world's population that's the assessment of oxfam and the stock home environment institute they say the wealthy elite are sponsible for
3:28 am
15 percent of all carbon emissions while the poorest half of the world's population is responsible for just 7 well from 1900 to 2050 in the world use as much carbon as it did during the previous 140 years the report urges governments to cut emissions by introducing wealth and carbon taxes on luxury items and use that money to create low carbon jobs and green facility is what timothy gore is from oxfam international he says the world has already proven it can slow global warming. what's really the problem what we're really stressing here 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 remaining global carbon budget to keep overheating 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 government to change course urgently now before it's too late i think if there's
3:29 am
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 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 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 the worst effects of runaway climate change and it's going to happen now the amount of
