a military crackdown killed 2 people. and voting is underway in the 2nd round election could lead to the 1st peaceful handover of presidential power in 60 years . a miraculous escape for passengers and people on the ground after a passenger jet engine exploded so with the u.s. city of denver. and i'm we're hard in with all of your sports tennis world number one novak djokovic extends his winning record with his 9th title at the australian open. now let's begin this news hour with efforts to revive that 2015 iran nuclear deal iranian officials are saying their talks with the head of the un's nuclear watchdog

has been fruitful found gross's visit comes on the day of a deadline set by the iranian parliament for the u.s. to lift its economic sanctions iran has said in the past it could suspend some inspections and take other measures if those sanctions are not removed but iran's foreign minister says ending the checks is not a violation of the agreement that all steps taken since the nuclear agreement are reversible the u.s. has now relax why didn't. that. policy of maximum pressure be. being can also just recently said that that policy failed but for all practical purposes of pursuing the same policy they haven't changed the u.s. is now relax some of the restrictions imposed by the trumpet ministration president joe biden says he is willing to rejoin efforts by european powers to save the

nuclear deal iran says it's studying those for pose ols we have correspondents in the united states and iran on this story mike hanna standing by in washington d.c. but 1st to dorset jabari in teheran so iranian officials are saying the talks were fruitful wide or so what happened exactly. well the details of the meetings that were held this morning and this afternoon in the capital are yet to be released there is a press conference that will be held in vienna later on this evening where the director general of the i.a.e.a. will lay out the details of what actually took place during those meetings but as far as we understand it he met with the head of iran's atomic energy organization or sell here early this morning in the is also met with iran's foreign minister mohammad javad zarif they are discussing the issue at their meetings has been about the details of what will happen to those i inspect ours in the coming months after

tuesday's deadline what has been the practice since the signing of the nuclear deal in 2015 is that a part of the additional protocols of the nonproliferation treaty iran was abiding by the inspectors were allowed to come and go as they please and visit any sites even non-nuclear ones in the country they've seen more than 26 nuclear facilities military facilities rather outside of the 6 declared nuclear sites in the country that will stop the coming and going when they wish will also stop they will have to ask permission ahead of time there will be no more surprise visits to any facilities also they now have access to 24 hour surveillance cameras inside those nuclear sites those cameras will no longer be available to them as of tuesday these are the details that the director general was hammering out with these officials here in the capital and we expect that there will be further details released about what kind of cooperation will no longer be taking place between iran and the

i.a.e.a. but in their look broader spectrum there will be still very much a supervision of the when it comes to iran's nuclear program whether we're talking about iran's relationship with the i.a.e.a. or the europeans a lot seems to hinge on the u.s. and the u.s. policy any sign of movement on that front. well we have heard from the u.s. secretary of state anthony blinken who said the path to diplomacy still very much open but for the rain ians it's a very cut and dried matter they want the united states to lift those sanctions imposed on iran since leaving the nuclear deal and 20 we heard from the foreign minister zarif today who said that that has cost iran a trillion dollars so far they want those sanctions relieved 1st then the u.s. can sit down at the negotiating table with iran to discuss how they can come back into the nuclear deal this is what iran wants whether or not the united states is willing to do that is a different question but for iran this point is not negotiable in the coming months

before this administration leaves office in june. thanks d'orsel for that let's continue this now with mike allen in washington d.c. and mike. sure you heard the comments there on the foreign minister saying hey the administration changed the policy hasn't how those comments likely to go down in washington. well some what you have here is a classic stalemate it would appear on the surface the u.s. says it would go back to the deal as long as iran returns to the parameters of the deal iran says it will not do that until the u.s. lifts the sanctions that were imposed during the trump administration's governance so on the face of the insoluble problem however the discussion that has been held within the biden white house is intense on this particular subject joe biden throughout his campaign made clear that he wanted to return to the 2015 deal he was

one of the architects of it but the signals that we're getting in recent days is very much that the u.s. is not looking for a unilateral approach to this it's very keen on restoring negotiations or negotiation process through the european union that wants to do it on mass with the original signatories to the 2015 dealing clued in russia china france germany and so this is a process that would appear to be underway within the biden administration to explore exactly how to get negotiations going again where it's not giving any ground whatsoever on its insistence that iran returns to the original terms of the deal before the u.s. comes to lift the sanctions that have been imposed so it's an ongoing process a very very critical one obviously but one that the new administration within the u.s. appears to be working towards but as i said the key issue here is it's looking for

a multilateral approach to it through the european union rather than individual unilateral negotiations with iran at this stage or i think so much my kind of. a day after the worst violence yet since man mas military coup earlier this month protesters have returned to the streets in their thousands soldiers fired tear gas and live rounds killing 2 people injuring dozens more on saturday terry chang reports. protesters are 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 yangon the bloodshed in mandalay appear to have hardened the result of those protesting against the coup. people died yesterday we protested peacefully but people had to die the general wants to stop us from coming out on to 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. to get beyond 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 tara 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 make they say themselves. tony chang al jazeera facebook has deleted a news page run by me in miles military facebook says the so-called true news page breached its rules prohibiting the incitement of violence the social media platform is the primary source of information in news for the people of myanmar facebook has long faced scrutiny in the country for failing to contain hate campaigns online for the un secretary general says he condemns the use of lethal force by the military in myanmar it adds to growing international pressure on the joint or the u.s.

state department says washington is deeply concerned and that it stands by the people of the u.k. says it's considering taking further action against those who it says a crushing democracy and the e.u. has called on the military to end its actions against civilians its foreign affairs council is expected to discuss it when we are on monday tom andrews is the un special rapporteur on human rights in me and maher he told us it's likely the crackdown will get worse. this you know the terry 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 ribbon areas and to confront these these protesters who are peaceful protesters there's no question about that plenty more still ahead on the news hour including. the 5th night of protests in spain over a catalan rocco's a rest. we will hear from families in uganda who say their relatives have been forcibly disappeared for supporting the opposition. and flying high do not also get to sail for young things all this prize offer

a comprehensive when the americans come challenges serious. now people in the share of voting to choose their next president in a runoff election outgoing president mohamed do so full as voted in the 2nd round of polling after the 1st attempt failed to find the successor it paves the way phoenicia as 1st peaceful handover of power in decades. more than 7000000 people in the genre voted in the 1st round of presidential and legislative elections in december president is sue for mamadou didn't stand for a 3rd term he promised to hand over power to his democratically chosen successor well as likely to be is ally veteran politician mohammed bazooms he's the current interior minister and the ruling party's candidate his closest opponent is muhammad . the former prime minister of nisha was received less than half of the votes of

his rival in the 1st round of voting an address is following the vote from neighboring nigeria where he joins us now from abou just so any indication yet are made of who might be in the lead. well basically polls have suggested that mohamed bus whom who actually won the although short of a majority to carry the ticket on the 1st ballot is likely to win simply because the 4 leading. candidates in the last elections in december actually out of the 4 leading candidates 3 rooting for him and this election so a correlation is expected to form at the end of the day but again the question is will their supporters the supporters of the other candidates really follow the lead of their own candidates and vote mohamed but that's

a question that could be unsaid by the close of polls today and in the next few days when the election commission is expected to collate the results and now it's them. on my money man is also hopeful that he has a coalition of at least 19 political parties in egypt who he thinks will give him the necessary support to defeat by them however the big problem for mum when use of my money is money if he wins this election is that he only has 7 seats in parliament his party has only 7 seats in parliament compared to what does a bomb it as seats in parliament so that's the reason why a lot of nigerians are expecting to win this election but it's hard to say at the moment whether or not the coalition in type coalition membership will vote oh that will change their mind and vote my mind man all right thanks so much ahmed reese that. now whoever wins new jersey runoff on sunday will face

a number of challenges this year borders 7 countries including book unify so mali and nigeria and is frequently targeted by armed groups able to cross its poorest borders there are 1000 have been killed in such attacks is badly affected by climate change and food insecurity driving up the poverty rate and with a weak economy the next president will have to battle large scale corruption it's also at the center of a mind at 3 crossroads as migrants try to reach europe through libya by the north. marie roger below is president of the african international media group she joins us by skype from paris good to have you with us so let's start 1st of all with the question of this round of elections do you think it's going to be more conclusive this time yeah definitely as the cross-product the just say it.

best room is a very likely winner because he has rallied a much larger coalition need sparky strong and where you know the 1st term was very conclusive and i think nobody really get out that he will be the winner is stan and. and we will issue see of course but that that's what we expect or how important is it for the country at this stage to have a peaceful transfer between 2 democratically elected civilian presidents. it's very important and this is very likely 1st because the incumbent president mohamad who is awful. here is stepping down democratically peacefully as stated after 2 terms paving the way to an orderly succession and also because of the crucial

security concern housing the especially the this country and the political parties are not likely willing to to stage additional unrest and also there is an implicit pressure of foreign military presence in a new jet which is a strategic hub for the war against jedis an organised crime in sales we know there you have the french were there with can and the american support troops the u.s. african africa command with the logistics to quarter of drawn to get it all of them are not. putting pressure for a peaceful transition and because they have so much to do and. not only security although when crippleware being asked during the campaign there where as people where ask what is the most important challenge and it was like 80

and 90 percent stating security 1st but the hours to food security the education the old the net you name it you know. is listed as one of the last countries in the human development index saw the challenges are huge and nobody wants to to bring in new. and security right now how difficult will it be to form a coalition. oh not really because you know more mad men's room these party they were in but he has over 80 seats in the in parliament and the opposition are. only a few and read now he has rallied a much larger coalition so i think that will not be the main.

problem for him or i thanks so much for your analysis on that. attacks are continuing in afghanistan with an explosion in southern helmand province the blast hit a crowded area in the city of lashkar gah or killing a person and injuring 16 more civilians and security forces were injured in the attack it's not yet known who was behind the blast but it's just the latest in a string of explosions which of rocked afghanistan in the past few weeks. i mean best a geisha is on the way off the u.s. passenger plane was forced to make a dramatic emergency landing its engine caught fire and it showed large chunks of debris flew over denver in colorado kristen salumi has the story. this was a good feeling on board united airlines flight 328 shortly after takeoff from

denver international airport troy lewis had just closed his eyes for a nap when he heard a loud bang knew that that was not good and felt like it was on our side of the plane and i was over the wing and i flipped up the shade and saw the ascent of that engine missing or blown up and the smoke and pieces were flying off of it and that was not a good feeling and this is how it looked from the ground one of the boeing 7772 engine suffered catastrophic failure debris rained down on residential neighborhoods about 40 kilometers north of the airport i could definitely see things flying at me and yeah my daughter was that on the window and she's a you know i was just like don't look like let's do let's close it up and let's just pray so that's what we did we kind of just how handsome that sum for the carrier says $231.00 passengers and 10 crew members were on board the flight which was headed for hawaii returned to denver and landed safely to the cheers of

passengers. regency crews were there to greet them but then fully no one was hurt and happy to be down here it's just like you turn your blessings statistically engine failure is rare but pilots are trained to fly with just one engine the national transportation safety board and federal aviation administration are investigating what caused the incident they've asked residents to report but not touch any debris they find kristen salumi al-jazeera. david gleave is an aviation safety investigator and an aviation safety research her lover university joins us from london good to have you with us this is a really unusual thankfully it's a honey usual story but what exactly happened it looks like the containment of the engine has failed there's 4 very large doors that wrap around

the fact part of the engine so we're looking ring at the front of the engine that makes the air very smooth now whether these parts of detached because they weren't latched together properly by maintenance technicians or whether the bolts and failed or whether there's been an impact we just don't know at the moment but it's certainly a better interesting failure and we see this type of failure or roll across the whole world wide fleet but all the airplanes maybe once every 2 to 3 years for those going to the next question how common is something like this. well if you say there's normally in a norm koger here would have about $20000000.00 jet flights a year. so maybe one in 50000000 something like that it's a very rare event but it is part of the design case how i mean is there anything passengers can do i'm just thinking if i'm watching this as a viewer i mean is there anything past you can do to avoid finding oneself in this

kind of situation is it particular to some types of aircraft than others. no it's usually related to the engine manufacturer who will sell across a range of airplanes so you'll design one specific type of engine to go in let's say a boeing 737 and modify it slightly to go into the same size of a pos airplane so it's common for 2500 of these engines at this type. of use but the key thing is that you can see here even with this level of devastating fighting here because the design engineers have thought about this beforehand then the engine continues to run for a short while the crew shut it down when there's lots of emergency procedures to make sure that the flight can learn safely even though it obviously looks very concerning from inside the cabin so i mean is it a miracle that this plane managed to land safely the pictures look quite terrifying if you if i was

a passenger on board but yes i'm in the pictures look at that but at least very concerned certain thing but it's not hollywood hollywood always so well we just need wonderful thing to go wrong and then we have the passengers screaming and it stronger the thousands of safety engineers and investigators out in the world working to make sure that a single failure like this can actually endanger the flight of an airplane and it's exceedingly on usual for a single failure to bring down an airplane or at you said that you said it has to do more with the engine than the plane wondering is is there any lesson to be drawn about any particular types of engines then. all the but all the operators of this type of engine are going to be following be investigation very carefully to see whether it's a generic problem with the engine it's design and maintenance or some of the time when these engine cowling that have to turn before then it's been maintenance not

doing up the latches properly so they'll look at their maintenance procedures also the possibility exists that the engine has been struck quite something so we need to go through all of the investigation to start eliminating possibilities before we can focus in and give a real answer as to what's going on and what the industry should do about it to stop it from happening again. thanks so much thank you it's time for the weather his avatar now. however it was something of a mixing of the seasons for japan over the next couple of days some pleasant warmth around at the moment but we've just not quite done with us just yet 23 celsius there for a monday 20 celsius in the saca want to see when 35 is a little further north you can see sapporo around 3 degrees present won't there cross the korean peninsula into northern china but temperatures in beijing and so at around 12 celsius and here comes that cool weather well down into single figures it is cool to in see western parts of honshu and up into hokkaido will be some snow

coming through for a time sheltered by the mountains not too bad in tokyo but not quite as mild as it has been recently but seventy's not bad may well we got some wet weather moving across the philippines in the form of a tropical storm did weaken to tropical depression briefly but it's picked up in strength once again winds of around 65 kilometers per hour more the rain that we are concerned about over the next couple of days for those central areas of the philippines slides out into the open morse's of the south china sea the still a legacy of showers coming back in behind and lose on we'll see some heavy downpours as we go on through chews day elsewhere the usual scattering of showers across malaysia still some heavy showers there into indonesia but a little dry for to qatar. so i have on al-jazeera australia's prime minister who is 1st in line for a covert 19 bank scene as he tries to convince people it's safe plus. i'm natasha butler in paris where the french television industry has much to celebrate with

you're dealing with it setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussions that are unfolding on capitol hill international film makers and world class journalists bring programs to inform and inspire you each and every one of us in the responsibility to change 1st explain what you know on al-jazeera. welcome back you're watching out the syria time to recap our headlines now iran's representative to the u.n. nuclear watchdog says talks with the i.a.e.a. have been fruitful says the results will be announced later its head is in teheran

for talks on a day that's the deadline set for us to lift sanctions. thousands of people out on the streets in man march to the worst violence yet in more than 2 weeks of demonstrations soldiers fired tear gas and live rounds killing 2 people and injuring dozens on saturday. voters are choosing their next president in asia as runoff election outgoing president obama do to food was voted in the 2nd round after the 1st attempt and failed to find his successor. now more on our top story the efforts to revive the 2015 iran nuclear deal the biden administration rescinded the u.n. sanctions on iran this week but is yet to lift u.s. sanctions saying that will only happen once iran is compliant with the remans us sanctions targeting iran's petroleum ministry its national oil and tanker companies construction industry space agency central bank and the revolutionary guard

iran cannot buy u.s. dollars or trading gold elam in new or steel as a ban on selling aircraft and repair parts to rein in aviation companies the u.s. has specifically sanctioned iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali home in iran these advisors as well as foreign minister zarif. 18 iranian banks were also blacklisted as well as the foreign companies that do business with them. syria journalist and iranian affairs analyst allie hashem joins us now live so ali let's start with the 1st question of these rounds or this group of inspections which you ron has said it will suspend if u.s. sanctions aren't lifted would that mean a violation of the iran nuclear deal how do they sit with the j c p o a well it's only technically might not be a clear violation of just given that iran is committed to the additional proc

a protocol of the nonproliferation treaty on telly and it's right now stopping this commitment without ratification of the whole. the way what we know the whole context is more about the political context therefore this is the the angle that iran is trying to pressure of the international community from mainly the united states and you 3 germany the united kingdom and france by that try to get as much concessions us possible and concessions concessions yeah i mean lifting the sanctions that you just mentioned there are you just mentioned there are more than 1600 american sanctions on iran that were most of them were imposed during the donald trump term and this is part of the maximum struck the maximum pressure the structure iran is trying its strategies or tactics to try to force

the americans to leave the leave this these sanctions while the americans are trying to take the iranians once again to another dimension another table to try and negotiate all their markers other than the nuclear matters. now what sort of understanding just the. one with iran then at the stage of these kind of additional checks which iran voluntarily at this stage go into what sort of a understanding is the i.a.e.a. chief who's in iran right now want to reach with iran well just a few minutes ago the iran's a representative to the i said that the meetings with mr goss who were fruitful however he is trying a gross is trying to continue to to guarantee that the inspectors are going to continue their work normally in iran this is one now with putting aside the whole

thing the additional protocol this is cities that are working for 24 hours and most of the iranian nuclear sites are going to be stopped beside the on. the on announced visits to the nuclear sites and some other type of sites are going to stop so these issues are going to. create a hoarder for the. efforts to safeguard iran's nuclear program what as they are they want to guarantee it's not going to have a kind of a military dimension and this was all part of also the j c p u a now regarding the. protocol this was outside yet it was mentioned also in the in the in the in the deal the imposed on iran to ratify this deal within 8 years now the iranians are still trying to play within the framework of

what they can do within the way now in the end does everything really depend on the iran u.s. dynamic. well yes i mean this is this is this is our everything started in 20122013 things started with the back channels between the united states and iran and the main problem was resource during the past years there were all the members of the. present and committed to the to the deal between iran and 5 plus one but when the united states stepped back the deal became frail the deal started dying now. if there was no political will. the other members to keep it alive all the all the technical issues were going to take this deal to fall i mean the united states imposed sanctions iran went and started also violating its side of the of the deal so all these parts took us in

a way logically to that deal but there was a political will to keep it and now there is a particle will also in washington to revive the deal so the issue is right now who is going to start this and what next this is the big question right now the real question in d.c. and into what next what after the deal. thank you so much ali for a shedding some light on that one australian government is confident they will be able to vaccinate most of its citizens against covert 19 by the end of the year that's despite research showing a large number of people remain hesitant about getting the shot 1st of the pfizer vaccine it's now being administered before a national rollout on monday they call a gauge reports from canberra. a day ahead of shadow prime minister scott morrison joined a small group of the strelley and 1st in line to be vaccinated against code that 19 before large scale rollout on monday what we're demonstrating to die is our

confidence i am surprisingly confident in the expert process that has been led to get us to this day it's been a long time coming for a struggle against 15 watching the fads of vaccine roll out in other countries but with the stradley in the enviable position of having few covert 19 cases the government says it's being focused on safety the 1st phase of the program will involve vaccinating health workers and staff who work in quarantine facilities the 1st goal is protection the 2nd goal is to have as high as possible all right and we will learn more as a world about the impact in terms of preventing transmission although the evidence is increasingly strong. evidence made strong that government research has found more than a quarter of a struggle ians are unsure about getting an ocular i said a day ago a few 1000 people protested against the vaccine in different cities at a time when the government is in a public fight with facebook which bans news content from its astrology insights

reducing the government's reach to share information about the importance of getting vaccinated taking the vaccine isn't mandatory but the government is hoping to vaccinate the majority of its charley and by the end of october the rollout of a huge logistical operation especially in remote isolated communities when the 5 vaccine needs to be stored at minus 80 degrees celsius yesterday then it could vaccine has also been approved by the therapeutic goods administration and is set to be rolled out from next month but experts are warning international borders could still remain closed the some time international borders. responsive around national borders a country going to continue to really know a lot more about where and about majority of the population is that they needed at least $60000.00 lives a vaccine are expected to be administered in the coming week with 4000000 to

been delayed because of there's a dust storm over the capital but along with those 11000 vaccines there's 200 health experts from the w.h.o. another u.n. organization that will be landing in cannot creep the u.n. doesn't want to see a repeat of what we what happened in 2015 where the outbreak that took place in the same region where we're seeing a resurgence a resurgence spread from guinea to neighboring liberia sierra leone killing over 11000 people and the u.n. and the specifically the w.h.o. came under heavy criticism for acting too slow for not having been able to contain the outbreak earlier and that that outbreak was that was contained thanks to the arrival in the and the and the arrival of a vis vaccine so there's a lot of hope which derives all of those $11000.00 doses which will go to health care workers front line workers currently dealing with those that are sick that

there are some and there are a core a but also we're hearing reports of a bull 3 infected patients also by the border of mali so the virus seems to be spreading one person took a bus from and they're occurring to that region a 4 hour bus journey and now it's the job of the health authorities to try to contact trace and isolate those that have been and contact with the virus now the government has put in some measures like closing down more kids and creating a check point and several regions the problem is the market and sicker and there corey is still open and people that we spoke to in the market say they don't believe that there is an ebola virus that's lurking in that community so before anything the vaccine alone will not stop the virus there need to be clear communication from the government and public authorities to try to. or that people that are or have symptoms of the virus isolate the cells and go to health centers

so there is a really an uphill challenge ahead for the health workers that are expected in the capital cannot create and in the region of ns are occurring so i mean all right thanks so much nicholas hawks there. police and demonstrators have clashed again in barcelona during demonstrations over the jailing of rap artist pablo herself he's been charged for insulting spain's monarchy and his music the arrest has set off a debate about freedom of expression and exams are by as reports now. a 5th night of violence over the arrest of a catalan rapper. thousands of demonstrators clashed with security forces in barcelona demanding the release of pavel of a cell stores in the city's most elegant shopping street were vandalized firecrackers rocks and bottles were thrown at police protestors warn the unrest isn't over yet i guess i'm as a menace go muncy were those of those yes i think demonstrations like the ones
