and me and ma once again out on the streets a day after a military crackdown that killed 2 people. also voting has begun in a run off presidential election in new share it could lead to the 1st peaceful transfer of power in decades. and a mid air emergency u.s. passenger jet suffers engine failure and since aircraft debris to the ground over colorado. after teheran 1st of all where the head of the united nations nuclear watchdog is meeting iranian officials as they try to revive the 2015 nuclear deal his visit comes on the day of a deadline set by the iranian parliament for the united states to lift its sanctions iran says it could suspend some inspections it could take other measures

as well if those sanctions are not removed us foreign minister says old steps taken since the 2015 uclear deal are reversible. nothing has changed by dint claims that trumps a policy of maximum pressure was maximum pavia. being can also just recently said that that policy failed but for all practical purposes there pursuing the same policy they haven't changed that policy the problem in the united states and it doesn't matter which administration does not make it public now has dealt with 7 can set get consecutive u.s. presidents and i have dealt with that and the problem is us is addicted to sanctions us is addicted to pressure the us is addicted to. that sort of dosage of bari about this in tehran it's interesting though so that the united states has been making overtures and noises about rejoining the deal and

yet the iranians there through their foreign minister very clearly saying look we don't differentiate between you and the last guy it's just the u.s. . certainly come all the sense here is that unless the iranians see some kind of concrete action from the u.s. government they're not satisfied they're not going to sit down with the biden administration to talk about how they could possibly return to the nuclear deal what the foreign minister highlighted was the amount of money iran has lost as a result of u.s. sanctions imposed on them since the americans left the deal in $20.00 teen mom divide serif said that iran has lost a trillion dollars in revenues because of u.s. sanctions and the most severe of which is the ascension on the rein in oil the purchase of any noise on the international community for them it's very clear when you lift these sanctions were ready to discuss how you could come back to the steel but until that is done these overtures are just that they are overtures and they're

not exactly what the iranians are looking for the head of the i.a.e.a. is currently in the capital meeting with the foreign minister and we expect the director to speak to the media once he returns to vienna later on tonight. at the very least also the the deal is not dead is it i mean donald trump seemed. like the iran nuclear deal was always teetering at least here between joe biden between the i.a.e.a. visiting today there are moves in the right direction. certainly that seems to be the case you have to also remember there is a lot of domestic pressure on their honey government and the foreign minister they only have less than 6 months left in office before the next presidential elections here in iran so there's a very limited window of opportunity in this is really their legacy this. is the grievances known so there's a lot of pressure on them and they are in turn putting a lot of pressure on the biden administration to try and get some kind of

a result before they leave office in june but it appears that this visit by the i.a.e.a. director general is to hammer out the details of this next phase that iran will take on tuesday currently i inspectors have been given free rein into the country at any time on announce visits to any of the sites and even non nuclear facilities they visited $26.00 military sites since 2015 this is all part of the additional protocol under the nonproliferation treaty which iran signed up to voluntarily after signing the nuclear agreement 2015 as a goodwill gesture they said now they've been forced to take this measure to leave this additional protocol because they haven't seen any of the benefits this is the 1st concrete step that the are hoping will push the biden administration to come back to the negotiating table and lift some of those sanctions which of crippled the country's economy so there is a lot at stake in the coming days and the iranians are now waiting to see what the bite in this ration will do but it appears they will go ahead and take this next

step and limit the access factors that's still such a bari in teheran thank you. on to other news and it's a after the worst violence yet since me and massive military coup protesters have returned to the streets in their thousands soldiers fired tear gas and live rounds 2 people were killed and dozens injured on sunday saturday i'm sorry a funeral has been held in the capital naypyidaw for the 1st protester who was killed in police violence in the week 20 chang's this report. protesters back on the streets of mandalay less than 24 hours after the security services shot 2 dead and injured many more occupying an important intersection in the city the message is clear it will not back down footage that has emerged overnight suggest this was a well planned and sustained crackdown not a temporary lapse in discipline building showing the scars of live rounds that were

liberally used. the soldiers beat and shot my husband and others he was standing on the side and watching the protests but the soldiers took him away. and while the police took the lead it appears it was the military they were in charge soldiers from the 33rd light infantry is said to be in command the division known for its panel and crackdowns on ethnic unrest. in just city young gone the bloodshed in mandalay appeared to have hardened the result of those protesting against the coup. do womanly people died yesterday we protested peacefully but people have to die the general wants to stop us from coming out onto the streets so they strongly respond to us we the people want to accept their own fear oppression and we will continue to fight. and calls for the international community to intervene not demanding it be on the numbers of people increase today and we will not stop we will continue to walk to our go democracy we want international

countries to take more severe action than effective sanctions. in the capital now a huge funeral cortege for the 1st pay terror to lose protests a 20 year old student who died on friday. she's now become a symbol for the protesters for the sacrifice she made in the one they may face themselves. tony chang al jazeera. and some of that some reaction 1st the un secretary general who condemned the use of lethal force by the military adding to bring international pressure in fact the u.s. state department says washington is deeply concerned and that it stands by the people the u.k. is considering taking further action against those who it says are crushing democracy and the e.u. is called on the military to end its action against civilians its foreign affairs council is expected to discuss me in ma when it meets monday isn't thoughts on tom

anders who is actually the un special rapporteur on human rights in me and and he told us it is likely this crackdown will only get worse. this military is capable of just about anything and then massacre protesters in the past in street street they've killed monks in saffron roach protesting and of course we've seen what they're capable of doing with the ethnic minorities including the ethnic lines so this is a very dangerous situation and the nightmare is made even more frightening by the fact that they are now deploying these army troops these these deployments sort of in this case the 33rd light infantry division this was the very division that is accused of and was actually involved we know in massacres against the regime or ethnic minority tremendous atrocities so now these soldiers are being deployed from the coastal areas and from the the areas like rakhine state in the north into these

the country missed the opportunity to produce a president in the 1st round of voting but is still on course to mark a historic milestone sunday's vote is expected to lead to the 1st peaceful transition of power from one civilian government to another in these year. but whoever wins will freeze don't think challenges poverty made worse by covered 1000 years on the rise youth unemployment is high so also is a level of illiteracy but more warry is the violence of the borders in the west boko haram has raided many communities and along the border with mali and broken up fossil groups allied with iceland al-qaeda attacking civilian and military targets ahmed agrees al jazeera. in the news ahead a strenuous prime minister is 1st in line for a covert 19 vaccine as he tries to convince the population it is safe. i'm not sure but knowing him as whether french television industry has much to celebrate with.
