military. so i'm now joined by a protester inside me and we're not revealing a name or location for her safety i know it's very difficult to to perhaps gauge this because internet was blocked past 24 hours but can you give us some idea of the numbers of people involved in these protests and how widespread they are. are worth more than 200000 people in alexander baulch and there are a lot of protests all around the country like so much more than what all of you who are very bullshit are one. on one or the longer they are. against the more. can you tell us about the protests that you were involved in today who was involved in these demonstrations and what were people doing what were

they calling full. were on the far corner there were words they clearly. 4 calmed her on her one all on her own to go our own country probably due to the love you lots of good government. was there a police presence or a military presence on the streets today or the protesters just allowed to to freely demonstrate to rally however they they wanted or on foreign yeah i was just asking about the if there was a police presence on the streets today once

ok so did you see police or military on the streets today was there any kind of military presence police presence there are you are there are there are there are a lot of the 3 hours on the margin call on the there are about 100 or 100 police on the street bar or are drones and then the mom remember our people are very people and so the long shoot out or are you i'm thinking are you worried that could change because of course the country does have a history of violent crackdown on peaceful protest. a you concern that the military could choose to intervene at some point. 4 you were worried about that it was a little good are. forming a worry about that that people are in people who apply tell us how you're

organizing because internet has now been restored and as we've seen this is a it's a decentralized leaderless movement how how are you how people communicating how they mobilizing themselves. 9 well before up to our gold cup are we in it because we want one so we clocked him ok thanks for all our twitter instagram so we can't lose our ground. with too much old world after march there that's what we do today we leave our mark in much more closed doors there oh aren't we aren't there we've gotten religion. of commerce from them there are others that are over the coming days. it's very unlikely that the military will capitulate to these demands that you prepared to keep on

protesting because of course i have also been many arrests many detentions people are taking a great risk here are. the people who are concur that there are more we want our country guard the colored out . thank you very much i know it's been a busy day for you but we do appreciate you taking the time to speak to us speaking to protests currently inside myanmar of course we're not naming or mentioning our location and safety but to have been tens of thousands of people out on the streets of various different cities today all voicing their opposition to the military coup in the country and the rest of civilian leaders.

u.s. president joe biden says iran must 1st stop enriching uranium before any talks to revive the nuclear deal can begin but the country supreme leader says his country won't return to the table unless american sanctions are removed fast we. heard the british out of the one that has the right to set conditions for continuation of the g. c.p.o. a is iran because from the beginning iran has met all of its commitments they violated their commitments we have the right to set the conditions if they want iran to return to the chase c.p.o. of commitments the us must remove all sanctions and not just in words and on paper they must remove all sanctions in practice then they will return to our commitments this is the definite policy of the islamic republic and all aronian officials agree with that and we won't change this policy quote. castro is live for us now in washington of course the argument from tehran is that it's the united states that

in a letter he withdrew from an international agreement tell us more about how the by the ministration is responding now. yeah the question who is going to be the 1st to make a move and all indications are that it's not going to be the united states either a white house official has told al jazeera that president biden has no intention of lifting sanctions just to get iran back to the negotiation table and biden said to c.b.s. news on friday that he will not lift the sanctions unless iran 1st comes back into compliance with limiting the enrichment of uranium back to the nuclear deal agreed upon limits. and today lindsey graham a republican senator said that's exactly what he would advise biden to stick with that there would not be any lifting of u.s. anxious on iran until he says iran changes its behavior so that leaves us with this continued stalemate that appears to be reaching the 2 nations ever further apart

from biden's administration's stated goal of an eventual return to the nuclear deal we know from biden's national security advisor jake sullivan that this administration considers trump's policies on iran to have been counterproductive sullivan saying that that that they only brought an increase in the in the pressure facing these 2 nations as an escalation in the iranian nuclear crisis with the united states but we know ultimately again that biden wants and eventually return to this deal and he says a renewed focus on diplomacy thank you from washington castro. now watching al-jazeera live from london much more still ahead on the program. a dispute over whether haiti's president should step down today or the 7th of february next year triggers

cold and the contrast is 13 says a big difference here and with that easterly screaming when it's nasty conditions in the low countries and to be honest on the eastern side of england and scotland as well so also significant snows probably going to be across northern poland and maybe belarus places like london a couple of days of roll whether we see snow fall and even when the snow stops for the $72.00 degrees in the breeze now south of all this things are rather quiet and watch of the sun palermo's at 20 and there is wind and rain running across spain portugal and maybe the far north of africa. welcome to down from every one of us. even those working quietly behind the scenes . so you can relax enjoy the perfect break

we are in a working class a low income working class neighborhood here in santiago and behind me directly. the wake is taking place the casket is there the media start allowed to go in there and shoot any video but we've been seeing people coming in all day long the hundreds and hundreds of them and outside street artist jugglers clowns and others are here paying tribute to proceed to venus the mood is very angry it's a mixture of jovial in the sense that people are very peacefully waiting around paying their respects laying wreaths outside of the house but they're also very very angry at what happened because they say that this was not an isolated incident and in fact in a rather bizarre twist of all this francisco to. the miss was actually the uncle of another young man who a few months ago was told to over

a bridge into the river by riot police during a demonstration so the family says certainly this has happened to them time and time again the difference being of course that in this case the judge was actually killed the other interesting point about this is that the policeman says that he was attacked that he acted in self-defense but the. weapon was a tin saber. works with tin sabers not real ones said so the problem is that nobody can find them those seem to have disappeared so that's one of the elements that the prosecution will be looking at what is going to happen to the policeman who killed romero is he likely to be charged. well that is the $50000000.00 question everybody is waiting to see exactly what. the judge and the prosecutor will do whether he will be charged with the murder as

thousands of people are demanding on whether they will accept his plea of self-defense or justified homicide and we don't know what is going to happen but i can tell you that it should be the latter the demonstrations out on the streets some of them of which have been extremely violent all over the country will continue as these 10 buildings were burnt in where the judge was killed 5 shots were fired by the policemen so in the minds of a lot of people here there is really no question about what really happened thank you very much from santiago chile last america to recruit reporting to us thank you . people in ecuador voting on who they want to succeed president lenin marina with a record 16 candidates vying for the presidency a runoff election looks likely in april the main challenges are the leftist andres are aus and conservative candidates so far as is backed by the former leftist
