iran reaches a deal with the u.n. nuclear watchdog on inspections allowing them to continue for now. that he says axis let's face it face to face that's x. . welcoming peter w. watching al-jazeera live from our headquarters here and also coming up gunman make an attempt on the life of libya's interior minister just weeks after a peace deal was signed. also ahead defiance in the face of protests to deaths

myanmar's anti coup movement says it won't be intimidated by an increasingly tough crackdown. top story the u.n. nuclear watchdog says an agreement has been reached to cushion the impact of iran's latest moves to reduce cooperation tehran wants to put pressure on the u.s. to remove sanctions the agreement means monitoring will continue but inspectors will get less access to her party reports now from tehran. is an important visit at a critical time for a failed grossi the director general of the international atomic energy agency arrived in tact on saturday ahead ever 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 the hope of the i yield has been to be able to take. the situation which was very understated. and i think the. understanding does it. so that other political see patients at other levels can take place and. we. ration in which we would have been in practical terms like 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 impose 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 why foreign ministers of odd 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 pavia being can also just recently said that that policy fate. but for all practical purposes there for the pursuing the same policy they haven't changed that policy the new restrictions mean i will no longer be allowed to make surprise visits to any of iran's 60 cleared 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 estimated $1.00 trillion dollars or president rouhani as 8 year term will end with a failed nuclear deal and a crumbling economy. dorsetshire party al-jazeera town. ok let's stay with us story and bring insight he's a nuclear security analyst who joins us on skype from london so he'll good to talk to you again so is iran unashamedly here trying to rebalance this deal in its favor . well i think it's trying to rebalance the deal to be fair at the moment the economic quid pro quo that underpinned it namely through the un sanctions relief

that was promised as well as economic engagement that it should have been given access to that doesn't exist anymore so iran feels that its patience has slowly worn thin they waited to hear before taking any operational steps the steps that they did take were technically reversible and they didn't touch any of the access that the agency had in iran until now i think that iran has been watching what the biden administration has done over the past month and largely the feeling in terror on is that this is a continuation of trump's maximum pressure campaign there were lots a lot of chatter among the europeans and the administration about whether or not they would try to use this leverage to try to get more out of iran that plus you know relatively slow movement from washington has made iran feel like it doesn't to continue increasing its leverage and rebalance the deal indeed is the deal

unraveling or is it being multan study is it being made more contemporary given that we've got a new u.s. president feels like it might tilt one way or the other. well i think the deal is being unraveled but the thing is is that when we are unraveling it the core is missing the u.s. is not a participant the u.s. sanctions remain in place which is the core thing that the u.s. was meant to not do under the terms of the deal so although iran is taking steps away what the agency in iran announced today shows that there is still a willingness by iran as well as other parties involved to try to get it back to the original terms so for example iran has agreed that they will continue to fully implement its comprehensive safeguards agreement this has existed since 1994 and it's the foundation of the agency's access in iran it's going to suspend the

additional protocol like they've done in the past once before but they've also reached a temporary bilateral understanding on certain things that will indeed continue and the agency is very happy with the result and they are very strong in their conviction that they have what they need to have eyes and ears on the ground to know what is happening with iran's nuclear program so i think that it's difficult to say whether it's tilting one way or another what we know is that iran doesn't want to tilt one way or the other they want it to be fully implemented and they feel that the u.s. should move 1st in trying to reestablish and restore it however i think this game of chicken between the u.s. and iran over who moves 1st needs to end we need some adults in the room and there's a way that this can be done where both sides can return to full compliance at the same time i hear so you runs a grievance it's called me for interrupting we all had me just of course you knew

that one final thought looking at those people playing chicken this clearly does not happen in a vacuum solely within the borders that close to shoot the state of iran the broader picture. is this regionally israel wants the deal to fail is there however because we had a report at the top of the elections around the corner is there a vocal low p. in sight tehran that also wants the deal to fail i think that a lot of people are wary of the deal and whether or not the deal will be able to deliver any benefits to iran you know iranians weren't necessarily happy with the benefits they derived even during the obama era they see a lot of damage has been done by trump you know businesses and banks are very scared to do business with iran now and they see that somebody like trump or even maybe trump himself may return to the white house in 4 years so i think that there

is definitely scope for the deal to improve you know in the eyes of everyone involved but there is also a very strong you know russia now on the other side of this deal is a good deal and it should be restored if possible ok we have to leave it there great to get your thoughts on this developing story talking to us from london thank you libya's interior minister survived what he's describing as a well planned assassination attempt fathi pasha goes convoy was fired on as it drove in the west of the capital tripoli it happened as the government in tripoli in which bush prepares to make way for an interim administration it is part of the u.s. led process to unify warring factions manic train reporting from misrata in libya says the interior minister has taken a tough approach to armed groups that. 30 the minister of interior is a originally from here the city of misrata is also seen by many as western libya strongman he's taken a hard stance against armed groups and and militias which has resulted in him
