al jazeera english. one day i might be covering politics for you in the next hour mike europe micro-targeting from serbia a dock hungry for what's most important to be just talking to people understanding what they're going through so that i can be the headlines in the most human way possible. cure the disease or we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. that of the un's nuclear watchdog says he's struck a deal to continue monitoring iran's atomic program after it cuts cooperation but he admits they will have less access. no i'm maryam namazie and london you're watching al-jazeera also coming up.

undeterred by saturday's violence people in me amman turned out an even greater numbers to march on mourning a young woman killed in the protests. the latest from libya where the interior minister has survived an assassination attempt. and the pandemic proves to be good news for french t.v. shows turning them into surprising hits both on and. a lot welcome to the program we begin the hour with efforts to revive the 2015 iran nuclear deal the head of the un's nuclear watchdog has struck a deal with iran to allow the agency to continue inspections of its nuclear facilities for 3 months when teheran cuts cooperation but rafael grossi confirm they will have less access and no short notice and spec sions dosage of bari has more from tehran. it's an important visit at

a critical time rafael grossi the director general of the international atomic energy agency arrived in town on saturday the head of iran's plan to partly suspend his agency's inspections of its nuclear facilities early on sunday grossi sat down with the head of iran's atomic energy organization to discuss what happens next to his inspectors. the director general also met foreign ministers of odd serif before heading back to vienna. and the outcome of those meetings is that the i.a.e.a. reached a temporary bilateral technical understanding with iranian officials which will allow the agency to continue its monitoring of to iran's nuclear program i hope. has been to be able to. a situation which was based on state. and i think the technique of understanding does it. so that

other political bullshit patients at other levels country planes and most importantly we kind of owe it to the situation in which we would have been in practical terms flying officials have said as a february 23rd iran will no longer abide by the additional protocols of the nonproliferation treaty because the united states left a 2015 nuclear deal and imposed tough new economic sanctions on iran's oil and banking sector this decision is part of a bill which parliament passed in the summer in an attempt to force the united states to lift some of those sanctions and return to the nuclear deal for ministers of god serif is not optimistic anything will happen before that that mine nothing has changed by going claims that trump policy of maximum pressure was maximum play be. but it can also just recently said that that policy fade

but for all practical purposes of the pursuing the same policy they haven't changed a policy the new restrictions mean i will no longer be allowed to make surprise visits to any of iran's 6 declared nuclear facilities and they won't have access to any other sensitive or military sites either they will also be denied access to the 24 hour surveillance cameras at those sites with less than 4 months left in office there are hardly administration was hesitant at 1st to implement the bill which had passed out of it but after the endorsement of the supreme leader the president had no choice now the government is hoping that the new administration in washington will lift some of the sanctions which have cost iran an estimated $1.00 trillion dollars or president rouhani as 8 year term will end with a failed nuclear deal and a crumbling economy. dorsett jabari al jazeera. al-jazeera

is christian slim is live for us in washington now and christian supporters of the iran nuclear deal will be hoping that this agreement with the i.a.e.a. will offset iran's cutback in inspections why how might the biden administration react. well we've heard no official reaction yet but the message coming from the united states has been to iran let's talk earlier this week president joe biden said that he was willing to sit down with iran and other signatories to the nuclear deal and discuss a way forward back to the to the accord. backed away from certain steps that the previous administration was taking in terms of. trying to get more sanctions on the international level to snap back at the united nations towards iran the biden administration backed away from those attempts small

have steps if you will towards entice ing them back to the table we heard from the national security advisor here in the united states earlier today saying that the biden and ministration believes that diplomacy is the way forward they're attempting to draw a line in the sand if you will or a line between the previous administration which had a go it alone approach to a more multilateral approach and hope that that enough is enough to get iran back to talking but the president has said that he's not willing to lift sanctions until iran comes back into compliance and as we've heard that just hasn't been enough for iran so far what is the debate there in washington about steps which could be taken short of lifting the sanctions to encourage iran to come back to the table. yeah it's really hard to see a way out of this standoff we know that joe biden not only wants iran

to come back into compliance before lifting sanctions he's also said he wants to negotiate a tougher deal with iran it's a very thorny issue domestically republicans including a congressman the leading congressmen on the foreign affairs committee michael mccaul has already accused biden of being weak on iran and making concessions just for being willing to talk to the leadership there so it's difficult to see a way forward but one area reportedly under consideration is dealing with iraq in a different way iraq of course very close to iran it relies on iran for energy the united states still has $2500.00 troops there under president trump the united states put restrictions on how much energy an oil iraq could get from iran there's some thought that maybe lifting those restrictions would be a way to indirectly benefit iran without making an overt obvious gesture.

will that be enough is that something that's being considered we just don't know yet but this is one area that seems to be in play thank you very much kristen salumi in washington thank you. well calls for a general strike in mayor maher on monday have been met by a threat from the ruling gent had to use lethal force earlier protestors were hours around me and mar an even greater numbers in a show of defiance a day after the worst violence since the military coup 3 weeks ago tens of thousands rallied peacefully in the city of mandalay where 2 people were shot dead by security forces on saturday one of them a teenage boy demonstrations were held across the country including in the capital neighborhood or where thousands lined the streets for the funeral of a young woman shot during protests last week just days before her 20th birthday and then all the developments the social media giant facebook has deleted the military's main page for peta violations of its standard for perhaps putting
