defiance and determines and seek to protests are said myanmar come back onto the streets a day after 2 people were shot dead in a military crackdown. thousands of ebola vaccines are right in guinea as medics race to control when i break the deadly disease. i'm natasha butler in paris where the french television industry has much to celebrate with homegrown shows becoming global successes and i'm only a hard time with all of your sports tennis world number one novak djokovic extends his winning record with his 9th title at the australian open. but we begin this news are with efforts to revive the 2015 iran nuclear deal iranian officials are saying that their talks with the heads of the un's nuclear.

watchdog have been fruitful rafael gross's visits comes on the day of a deadline set by the iranian parliament's for the u.s. to lift its economic sanctions iran has in the past said it could suspend some inspections and take other measures if those sanctions are not removed with iran's foreign minister says ending the checks or is not a violation of the agreements and that all steps taken since the clear agreements are reversible nothing has changed biden claims that. a policy of maximum pressure was maximum pavior. being can also just recently said that policy failed but for all practical purposes the pursuing the same policy they haven't changed. well the u.s. has no relaxed some of the restrictions imposed by the trumpet ministration and president joe biden says he is willing to rejoin efforts by european powers to save

the nuclear deal iran says it's studying those proposals well we've got correspondents in both the united states and iran working on this story for you mike hanna is standing by for us in washington d.c. but 1st let's go to dorset jabari who joins us from teheran and door so the really an official say that talks were fruit for all why are they saying this what exactly happened in those talks. well we have yet to hear from the director general of the international atomic energy agency raphael grossi he is due to hold a press conference later on this evening in vienna but we do know that he's met with the head of iran's atomic energy agency alley akbar salehi and he's also met with the iranian foreign minister mohammad javad zarif the details of those meetings have not been released yet but from what we've heard from the iranian representative to their eye as you indicated they seem to have gone well as far as

the iranian side is concerned but what these meetings are about is the details that will follow about the inspectors and the future of the i.d.f. specters and how they will operate in iran as of tuesday february 23rd they were indians will no longer allow the status quo to continue with those additional protocols that iran was abiding by voluntarily will no longer be the case that means the inspectors that will come into iran to visit their nuclear sites will have to declare their intentions ahead of time they will have to say where they are going and when they are going to be traveling under these additional protocols that iran was abiding by after the nuclear deal was signed in 2015 it gave free rein to these inspectors they could come and go whenever they please they could visit any facility even non-nuclear ones so far since 2015 day visit it over $26.00 military sites so there was much more transparency and that will not be the case as of tuesday because iran says that they are abiding by a law that was passed in parliament in december that will force the united states

the lives some of those sanctions they've imposed on iran that has cost the iranians a trillion dollars so far the whole point of this is to try and force the u.s. to return to the nuclear deal but only doing so after they lift those sanctions. so we receipts are we talking about iran's relationship with. their continued engagement with the europeans but indicates there's a lot. does seem to hinge on this relationship between the u.s. and iran is there any movement on that front. well there's been proposals put forth by the e.u. foreign policy chief from the u.s. for iran to meet with the europeans and the united states around the same table to discuss what a possible return to the nuclear deal for the u.s. would look like but the iranians for their part say they are studying those proposals but for them it's very clear they need those sanctions lifted 1st before

that meeting could take place we also have to remember there is a lot of internal politics at play both in tehran and as well in washington the iranian government there honey government has less than 4 months left in office this will be truly their legacy if they try to manage to salvage this deal but there is a lot of pressure internally on them that they should not accept anything until those sanctions are lifted we've heard from the country's supreme leader and a number of high ranking officials that that is what needs to happen there is a real sense that they want to have some kind of a dialogue but only if these sanctions are lifted because this current situation is not sustainable for the iranians long term the economic damages they've suffered as a result of those sanctions are tremendous and they need those lifted before they can trust any kind of dialogue to take place between the 2 sides ok doris jabari in tehran thank you so much for bringing us the view from iran let's get the view from

the united states now we can join mike hanna in washington d.c. mike we heard. the reef there talking about how he sees the state of play however the iranian foreign minister comments likely to go its own in washington. well there hasn't been any public comment about that yet and the by that the administration generally is trying to play this as low key as possible you heard reporting about the elections later this year will certainly within the biden ministration and the state department is a huge awareness of those looming elections which are seen in state department as something of a deadline for a new iran policy to be formulated so at the moment it does appear that the bite at the ministration has made very clear that the part that sees to resume negotiation

is the european union president biden saying within the last few days that he is willing to return to negotiations under the aegis of the european union together with the other partners to that 2015 deal but at the same time the u.s. publicly at least is insistent that it will not resume negotiations until iran returns to the parameters of that 2015 deal as you heard iran saying it will not do so until the u.s. lives to sanctions that were imposed during the trump era so on the face of that it's a stalemate but there is a lot of pedalling underneath the water at the moment on the diplomatic front and there's certainly is meanwhile make u.s. officials are also talking about a review of iran's neighbor iraq what started. well that's a very interesting fact and may well play into the wider issue of relationships

with iran now the secretary of state tony blinken has confirmed that his department is reviewing the u.s. relationship with iraq seeing what can be done better what needs to be done to improve the nature of that relationship now among the aspects that he's looking at for example is very possibility the fact that iran iraq by is energy resources from iran now the trumpet administration a limit to the amount of energy resources that iraq could buy now one of the things that the secretary of state may be looking at is lifting the ban on those energy resources or increasing the amount that iraq could buy from iran creating greater revenue for iran and relieving the energy situation within iraq it's actually very very smart diplomacy because effectively what could happen if this is the process is that the u.s. would be able to offer an olive branch to iran without doing so directly doing it

through iraq it's very very complicated but potentially very astute of diplomacy ok well we'll keep a very close eye on that of course mike hammer though for now from washington d.c. thank you very much indeed. well iran of course is in a dispute with world powers about the implementation of that 2050 nuclear deal but its latest move revolves around a separate agreements with the u.n. nuclear agency called the additional protocol and that's an agreement which grants nuclear inspectors greater access to iran's facilities it also obliges to her and to share more data on its nuclear activities run scientists in 2003 but it was never ratified by parliaments the agreement is voluntary and iran stopped supplying its in 2007 that was part of the iran nuclear deal with world powers and iran

agreed to once again implements the additional protocol but iran intends to suspend it once again it says world powers aren't keeping their ends of the deal so it will no longer alive u.n. inspectors expanded access to its nuclear sites let's get more on this now from our levi is seasoned iran analyst and a former senior political affairs officer at the united nations is also worked on been negotiations with the p 5 plus one and iran knows these agreements inside i really. just start by giving us a sense of where you think the j c p u a stands right now it was on life support leading up to the biden presidency and now on the face of it it seems like it's it's on the brink what do you think the situation is. look i think the agreement is really hanging by

a thread because the iranians after waiting for europeans to compensate them for the effects of u.s. withdrawal from from the deal in 2018 are imposition of sanctions started their own breaches of the agreement but what they had done was that they had to gradually reduce their compliance with the nuclear restrictions and the deal out of it we knew full well what they were doing because they grew its enhanced access was able to report every single action that the iranians were taking but now there will be even less transparency in iran's nuclear program and it's a major concern and so what iran will do on tuesday is considered a significant escalation. given this this escalation here would you say is isolated here because during the trump presidency when america unilaterally withdrew from that agreement the state seemed to be the isolated party but neither do you think iran is isolating itself. look it is quite possible if the iranians

rejected the offer of the european union to host informal discussions to figure out a way for both iran and the united states to come back into compliance with the new video that iran would be seen as the in inflexible party at fault but right now it appears that we are in a situation of a standoff where the us expects iran to 1st go back into compliance and iran expects the us who reached agreement 1st in 2018 to go back into compliance by lifting the sanctions i think a mutual mutually agreeable solution could be found because at the end of the day both sides want the same thing and there is political will to restore the original agreement but the choreography is and sequencing is what's at stake right now and i think what iran is going to do on tuesday would only make the situation worse but it doesn't make a return to the deal impossible. where's the incentive for iran

to start complying truly because there really is we don't argue that they were complying fully all along and that the trump administration were the ones he has started this mess there's no guarantees that in 4 or 8 years time you aren't going to see another trump ists style administration who did exactly the same things so where's the incentive there for iran to do the things the u.s. and the e.u. are calling for. look there are 2 parts to your question 1st is that in the short run and the incentive for the iranians is sanctions ready the iranian economy has been contracting for the past 3 years and the economic situation in iran is quite dire in the middle of the covert 1000 and emic so the iranians would benefit from the sanctions relief if they can find a way of sequencing mutual return to compliance with the agreement with the united

states but then in the medium to long term i think that the experience of the past few years has clearly demonstrated that this nuclear deal as it stands it's not enough and will not survive in the next us elections because in 4 years or in 8 years so both sides would need to negotiate and an arrangement that is amounts to a better for better or more for more that is more stable and in paddle to that they would also need to address the tensions in the region because in the past few years those tensions spilled over into the implementation of the agreement and destabilized that the so these things need to happen in patterdale but the 1st step is the restoration of the original agreement which i use i'm still cautiously optimistic that is possible despite the origin all postering that we have seen in the past few days and weeks hopefully there will be discussions hosted by the e.u. and again both sides would be able to find a time table for mutual return to compliance which will have to happen in

a coordinated manner and also in an incremental passion ok but we'll keep an eye on those developments alibi is great to get your thoughts thank you so much for bringing your analysis to see you. the day after the worst violence yet since the n.r.a. military coup earlier this month protesters have returned to the streets in there some reasons soldiers fired tear gas and live right in skilling 2 people and injuring dozens more on saturday tony 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. and just city yangon the bloodshed in mandalay appeared to have hardened the result of those protesting against the coup. people died yesterday and protested peacefully but people have to die the general wants to stop us from coming onto the streets so they strongly respond to us we the people want to accept their unfair oppression and we will continue to fight. and calls for the international community to intervene i'm not putting it 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 territory lose protests a 20 year old student who died on friday. she's now become a symbol of the protesters for the sacrifice she made in the one they may face themselves. tony chang al jazeera. the un secretary general has condemns the use of lethal force spy the military in myanmar they tatmadaw is 33rd light infantry division is reported serve been in charge of the crackdown in mandalay the same units was responsible for the campaign of mass killings rape and arson against the muslim rangar in 281-773-0000 members of the minority group were forced to free to bangladesh un investigators

say they were escaping genocidal violence or weighing in is a campaigns officer burma campaign u.k. that's a london based non-governmental organization that aims to achieve the restoration of human rights and democracy in burma she joins us by skype from london have you with us on the news hour just how much of it again change or would you say the involvements all of this military division is in the events we're seeing in the a more. it was absolutely shocking and that's what people to you know to what happened yesterday. armies were shooting peaceful protest peacefully or a human rights and democracy in the country and they started shooting in the crowd and they started you know there are a lot of police brutality and you can see on the footage it's completely unacceptable and the crackdown will continue of course people continue going out on

the street protesting and you know we we have seen the escalation from the military and i think that it will continue because you know i've said so many times that it's reassuring to know that the international community is what change but what we really want them to do is to take action if you look in the past you know human rights abuses committed by the military against the ethnic minorities and the ranger the reaction from the international community had been so little so now may our line is you know calculating and knowing exactly that he can get away with all these human rights violations again in terms of the general population ania in marjah do you think that it's there's a greater understanding of what minority groups like the or hinges have suffers at the hands of this military division and do you think that that could change

things going forwards in terms of the because there are complex relationships between the different minorities and majority populations in the country. so it's very encouraging to see there's a unity and solidarity between people among pro-choice protesters at the moment but even then if you look at the sound you know 2 different groups there are at the poles the forte for the and the and the release of aung san suu kyi and you know all the detainees but there are other groups calling for specially if you look at minorities cole. they have called us to abolish educate a ship of all this to 2008 constitution and to build a federal union which is very important for us to go ahead with genuine democracy and move forward as a inclusive society and of course at the moment we have a unity and solidarity and

a bit more understanding of how their ethnic minorities have affected and of the military for so long and we will continue to separate got this if i you know as he says he or religion but i think when it comes to the range of issues is a bit more complex because. you know it's. hatred against the muslim at the to clearly we're here jim islam is deeply rooted in our society so it we need to look you know people i hope that people understand that everyone has rights and those rights should be respected and people should be treated with respect and dignity because this is not a religion or ethnicity so i hope that we can move forward like that ok going in from burma campaign u.k. thanks so much for joining us here on al-jazeera thank you. there's plenty more ahead on this these are including. 4 things underway in

a 2nd round election in the share who quickly see the 1st peaceful handover of presidential power in 60 years plus. record. a midair emergency u.s. passenger jet suffers engine failure it's instead crashing to the grain in colorado plus. find out why is this ice hockey games to me it's a leo will have more from me in sports. the people in the air or voicings that use their next presidents in a runoff election outgoing president mohammad to us who has voted in the 2nd round of puling after the 1st attempt failed to find his successor who paved the way for in these areas 1st peaceful handover of power in decades when the 7000000 people in

the shareholders in the 1st round of presidential and legislative elections back in december president obama didn't stand for a 3rd term and promised to hand over power to his democratically chosen successor is likely to be his ally veteran politician mohammad. is the former interior ministry and the brewing party of candidates for his coarsest opponent is a hummer and this month the former prime minister of new share man received less than half the votes of his wife well in the 1st round of voting let's get more now from ahmed idrees he's following those elections from majoring neighborhood nigeria where he joins me now live from a bridge or i was the vote progressed so far are we going to see any indication of a winner at the stage. it's hard to say but on paper it looks like doesn't mohammad may think victory in this round of

election remember the gap he gave his run up was more than a 1000000 votes in december and that been coalition talks discussions agreements signed with various political parties 30 of the political parties that participated in that election were engaged in some form of negotiations and eventually the top 4 or top 5 candidates in the last election. most of them actually joined the coalition with buzz of mohammed now on paper doesn't mohamed looks set to be the president basically because he has more seats in parliament of the 171 seats in parliament he's party got more than 80 seats while his fellow contestant with momentous one has only 7 seats in parliament so even if one is man wins this election has to have a very very difficult time governing needs yes simply because he needs

a coalition of at least 18 or even 20 political parties to govern for the time being elections are progressing and in the next 3 or 4 hours we probably will see at the close of voting across nisha and what remains will be the correlation of votes at the polling station the announcement by the election commission and then the validation of the process by the constitutional court in 2 weeks after the announcement of the result of the election commission and i might just give us a sense of why significant you'd say the selection is for the share we mentioned that was the 1st peaceful transition of power and thought close well does that mean so it's the people who live firma. well basically an engineer has has has a history or had a history of military coups and this has sort of trying to get its democracy stopped it from developing and it's been years now since democracy has been on the

rule in asia and it's important that they keep to these progression simply because the country what the country needs is more a focus on economy this is one of the poorest countries in the world and it's also facing a very very difficult time in terms of security on the border with nigeria but what i was not to book out of and i slept the islamic state in west africa provence and on the border with mali and brooke you know fossil i'm groups allied with al qaida and i still have people in rampage attacking military and civilian targets so they need probably they need somebody who knows the ropes very well and for them mohammed about zuma and momentous month actually have been in power at some point or another and they probably understand the situation more than any of the $28.00 candidates who fell by the wayside after the december elections so for many nigerians they need some form of stability to usher in economic growth as well as

peace in the region so a lot of people are hoping that whoever wins this election will tackle these major challenges poverty illiteracy violence that's been raging on its borders with these 3 countries as well as economic development and lots in the incoming president's inbox for sure ahmed idris for now though very much indeed. that has been a powerful explosion in afghanistan's southern helmand province hit a crowded area in the city of chicago killing one person and injuring 16 more civilians and security forces were injured in the attack it's not yet known who was behind it since the latest in a series of explosions in afghanistan in recent weeks. libya's interior minister has survived an assassination attempts bashar has convoy came under fire as it traveled west of the capital tripoli where the minister nor his staff were

the weather squatting down nicely now across much of the middle east we have still got this band of cloud just draped across afghanistan through iran across central parts of saudi arabia we had a spot of sorts of a very light rain inkatha earlier on today that rain will be a hit and miss as we cohen through the next couple of days because they'll see the possibility of some showers into central parts of saudi arabia most of that it is generally not control you might just catch a rope shall i say into southern parts of syria maybe squeezing across into jordan system is very cools off into some just 8 degrees celsius should be dry just notice what a weather coming in northern parts of saudi arabia i know just some wintry weather just around the caucasus between the black sea and the caspian sea south of the rain band that we have into saudi arabia it doesn't find and try for the most part you might just catch a shower typical western parts of yemen and the possibility of that cloud to stretching its way into central parts of ethiopia so what's the weather there just

he joins us live from dakar in senegal just to start nic what was the situation like right now because a ball is a very serious illnesses. absolutely i mean it is specially it's very curious that we're seeing a resurgence of this virus exactly in the place where we saw an outbreak in 20142013 that's what scientists and researchers are trying to understand how did this virus that killed 11000 people effecting 3 nations sierra leone liberia and guinea in 2015 well how did this virus come back again they're wondering whether it comes back from it came back from people that were carrying the virus themselves or does it come from the animals that are national reservoir to the virus that thing you buy here about primates and bats and we know that in

that specific region people consume bush meat now the other issue here is the vaccine that is that's on its way right now to to get me well the health authorities managed to assist contain the last outbreak thanks to those experimental vaccine when she wondered $50000.00 doses were donated to those 3 countries in guinea those vaccines expired in december and no steps were taken to try to replace those vaccine even though we know that a bull continues to affect this region so that's a question that a lot of people are asking on the ground and that kind of reveals this deep suspicion that there is between health authorities and the population and that's a major issue for tackling this outbreak the vaccine alone will not contain this outbreak you have to have people willing to take the shot but also to trust health authorities where the outbreak started. in early february is where

in 2015 health workers had come and they were killed by the population that simply saw these people in their p.p.s. suits and white coming to their remote villages well they saw them with deep suspicion and there's also this this sense that. when you go to health facilities you go there not to get treated but to die a lot of these a ball of victims were buried by the health workers themselves and people that were affected by that never had a chance to say goodbye to their loved ones so there's a lot of. issues to do with clear and simple communication and try to ensure that the health authorities can tackle this outbreak and it's making it even more difficult because guinea has been going through a year of political instability and so there is a real lack of trust in government authority to specially in these remote areas where we're seeing the outbreak ok nicholas brady is the very latest from dakar

thank you it was surely as government is confidence it will be able to vaccinate most of us citizens against school with 19 by the end of the year that's despite research showing a large number of people remain hesitant about getting the shots the 1st doses of the fines or vaccine have been administered before a national rule on monday likely gauge reports from canberra. a day ahead of shadow prime minister scott morrison joined a small group of the style eons 1st in line to be vaccinated against code at 19 before a large scale rollout from 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 struggling ins has been watching the fads of vaccine rollout in other countries but with the strelley in the enviable position of having few covert 19 cases the
