his speech to the un general assembly to attack china over the coronavirus pandemic the u.s. president accused beijing of failing to share information when the outbreak began. shortly before president trump speech was played at the u.n. the u.s. death toll from the coronavirus passed $200000.00 the country has 4 percent of the world's population but 20 percent of the total reported cope with 19 deaths antigovernment protesters in egypt are back out on the streets for a 3rd night calling for president a bill for the l.c.c. to step down defying a police crackdown that see that these 200 people arrested since sunday. more now from the u.n. general assembly iran's president has taken aim at the u.s. accusing it of trying to crush his country the u.s. that attempting to unilaterally reimpose u.n. sanctions against tehran despite opposition from other u.n. members us on rouhani compared washington's treatment of iran to that of george floyd a black man who died after a police officer knelt on his neck. only all of us across the globe

are experiencing difficult times however my nation they are resilient people of iran instead of enjoying global partnership and cooperation is grappling with the harshest sanctions in history imposed in blatant and gross violation of the charter of the you ladies and gentlemen the footage broadcast to the world concerning the treatment of an african american by the us police is reminiscent of our own experience we recognize the feet kneeling on the neck as the feet of arrogance kneeling on the neck of independent nation us. beggars in the iranian capital and says rouhani was keen to convey the difficulties iran is facing. he spoke about the affects of sanctions he actually acknowledged the effects of sanctions he said life under sanctions is tough but life is harder without independence and said that iran won't trade its domestic freedom for foreign intervention and it's something that's

between a common theme throughout president rouhani speech but not only him but through his foreign minister devolves reef and other high ranking officials that is that iran is still committed to the way that 2015 nuclear deal he called it the greatest diplomatic achievement but said that iran doesn't deserve the treatment that it's getting he pointed to iran's peace initiatives in the region from syria dealing with turkey over the syria issue as well as opposing so damn a sense occupation of iraq but he appealed to the world he said that they must stand up to us. and that this was the time to make a choice so in contrast to what donald trump has been saying about iran he is saying that not asking people to stand with iran but stand up for what he called was the rule of law because the united states has considers those u.n. sanctions back in place and iran desperately needs the world community the countries especially the europeans not only oppose the united states but actually

stand up to them and not give in to what the united states considers the u.n. sanctions been put back in place meanwhile turkey's president used his part of his address to accuse greece of inflaming their standoff in the eastern mediterranean the 2 countries are in dispute over drilling rights but have agreed to new talks about the contested maritime claims. because. you know there are countries acting with the understanding of a winner takes it all the futile steps to exclude our country have no chance of success we do not have designs on anyone else's right remedy and legitimate interests neither in the eastern mediterranean nor in any other region however we cannot turn a blind eye on the violation of the rights of our country and the turkish cypriots and to the fact that our interests are being ignored. cold out the international community for failing to confront israel threats and legal occupation of

palestinian land. at full steam the lingering of the palestinian cause without a just solution and israel's continued settlements in creation of pretexts on the ground without being deterred pose the biggest question mark on the credibility of the international community and its institutions and with them we call on the international community especially the security council to assume its legal responsibilities to obligate israel to lift the siege on the gaza strip put the peace process back on track through credible negotiations based on the international resolutions and not on force to address all final status issues inning occupation within space of 5 timeframes and establishing an independent palestinian state within 1967 borders with easter islam as its capital they gyptian president about also cold on the un to do more to help palestinians achieve their own state. lisa. no issue would be more worthy of our

attention than the issue of palestine whose people still strive for their basic human right to live in a free and independent state along with its neighbors in the region generations of palestinians have strived to achieve this right and a multitude of resolutions have passed to no avail to keep the prospect of peace alive and to achieve coexistence we must fulfill the legitimate aspirations of the palestinian people for an independent state with east jerusalem as its capital for peace and security to prevail in the region the international community has an obligation to honor its commitment to achieve long awaited peace and address any measures that undermine the 2 state solution. cameroon's main opposition parties as one person's been killed in antigovernment protests police used tear gas and water cannon to break up the crowds in the economic capital dollar protesters are calling for an end to the long running conflict between the english speaking separatists and security forces which has killed at least 3000 people there also demanding the

european union hasn't been able to agree on the imposition of sanctions against the russian leaders including the question. the european union has repeated its warning of legal action against the u.k. if it pushes ahead with its threat to break international law and breaks it negotiations the collapse in talks is creating huge anxiety for communities on the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland from the law and reports. you need a long memory to understand why the roads between northern ireland and the republic are such a flashpoint on this stretch of road alone dozens of people have been blown up or shot in fighting between the british army and irish republican fighters they even blew up an army checkpoint on the railway line under the road and it all began with the u.k. put in customs posts to check on the movements of cops they were attacked and then along came a large amount of policemen or you syrian forces to protect them and then when deer

attacked in there was many attacks and then along came the british army. and there were subsequently attacked so and then all of a sudden build up a huge military infrastructure here along the border the biggest of the west. army helicopters army troops and the grain it became a war zone really putting the trade board in the irish sea was the agreed solution to avoid a return to the past but the collapse in talks in the u.k.'s insistence that it might relate on parts of that agreement it signed up so you has once again put enormous fear into the people who live and work on the border what breaks it is now boil down to is a massive says have disagreements about how to organize cross border trade between the european union and northern ireland in the u.k. and vice versa both sides insist that they will not reintroduce a hard border cutting ireland in 2 because they would breach the terms of the belfast peace agreements but what neither side can say is what they will do if by

the end of this year there is no deal ministers from across the e.u. mess again for more talks on how to solve the riddle of the u.k.'s changing position they certainly don't sound like they think it's their place to be flexible police dear friends and london stop the games time is running out what we really need is a fair basis for further negotiate. and we are ready for that the british government position is being used by supporters of reunification of violence as the best example of that cause half a lifetime ago the skies here were full of british army helicopters and the hills hid irish republican fighters risking a return to all that because of arguments over trade tariffs remains an implication of brics it lawrence lee al jazeera on the irish border. to australia now another $200.00 whales have been found beached off the island state of tasmania it adds to
