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. has been to be able to take. a 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 for ministers of god serif is not optimistic anything will happen before that that line nothing has changed by going claims that trump policy of maximum pressure was maximum pavia rincon also just recently said that that policy fade. 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. joining us now is hillary mann leverett c.e.o. of strategic a political risk consultancy she previously served as a u.s. state department official she joins us from mclean virginia hillary mann leverett

great to talk to you again hilary why is there apparently a disconnect here between what the biden administration is signaling and what it's not doing as far as the iranians are concerned. well i think the buying immiseration is trying to be very careful and cautious with it signaling because it is not in iraq to rejoin the iran nuclear energy of the j c p a way that was reached in 2015 they went like iran to return to its side of the bargain to restrict its nuclear activities but on this side in washington there is a lot of hesitancy to just go back to the j.c. p.-o. way iran nuclear deal the way it was they want to have tougher restrictions they want to elongate the deal or to stretch it out for many more years and so they're not in a rush to go back to where it was notwithstanding the fact that during the campaign of course president but now president biden and his advisors talked about rejoining

the d. on how terrible troubles policies were but now that they're in office they're seeing it's a lot more difficult to rejoin the j.c. p.o. and they want to retain some leverage and it's part of the elongation process also the reality another reality and is this the iranian government knows fine fare well that the by the ministration if they get back around the table of the g. c.p.o. way the buy the ministration wants to extend that to include things like but listing missiles nuclear aspirations and also iran's footprint in regional within regional power plays in this region. yes though i would caution that the specifics aren't critically important what is critically important here in washington are the domestic politics and the timing the way the current iran nuclear deal is written the j c p a way president biden would have to go to congress by 2023 and have congress lift all sanctioned on nuclear related sanctions against iran that is not going to

happen there is no way with the constitution of the senate the way it is the way that it is basically a 5050 tie with just the vice president being the tie breaker there's no way they can lift the sanctions so domestically president biden has to find it different way to not have to go to congress by 2023 and he has to get his domestic agenda passed and he has to get all of his appointees in office that's just not going to happen if he goes back into the j.c. p.-o. a so the particulars are unfortunately not that important it's really the domestic politics here and the timing he needs something to get beyond 2023 what might that something be i mean you seem to be painting a picture hillary that says israel can just sit back and watch the deal die the people and there are people high up in tehran who want the deal to die because they've got elections 34 months away. well there certainly is that dynamic and i'm

not sure that the button in ministration here wants to tip the scale in favor of any one party over the other if they go into negotiations now with the current iranian government it could make their thinking it may not be favorable to them for the next iranian government's there certainly is that dynamic but again i think the really important thing for the barn administration is they want to get into a process a process where they can be talking to the iranians for some time and they could institute a series of measures that would take this deal beyond 2023 so that president biden does not have to go back to the u.s. congress and get them to repeal sanctions that's just not going to happen so he wants a process where there are a number of steps that could take possibly even a number of years to accomplish during that time perhaps united states could ease some sanctions for example waive some sanctions or allow the i.m.f.

to proceed with a loan to iran these small things along the way could happen in a process but the key is going to be to have a process that allows it by the administration to draw this out for some time hillary great to talk to hillary mann leverett they're talking to us from mclean virginia. u.s. aviation regulators have ordered extra inspections for boeing triple 7 aircraft if it is with a type of engine that exploded during a flight in the u.s. on saturday the engine made by president whitney suffered a catastrophic failure just after takeoff from denver littering suburbs with deborah the united airlines jet landed safely no one was hurt on the plane or on the ground united has grounded $24.00 of its aircraft japan has told local carriers to stop flying triple 7 with those engines todd curtis is the founder of safe dot com he's in boston todd curtis welcome to al-jazeera is this a craft with these engines inherently dangerous. it's entirely

too early to say certainly this was a significant event. and in fact. 2 and a half years ago there was a nerve with the united air airlines or similar and you know uncontained engine failure and the problem there was traced to the fan but it's a fair and coincidentally maybe the merger with most directive from the f.a.a. is mandating that those engines and those fans where it will be inspected now what this means around the world remains to be seen but as you mentioned already japan has put a limit on triple 7 air flying engine the triple 7 has become the sort of workhorse of long haul aircraft because the a 380 s. super long haul aircraft rather the a 380 s. and the extended range 74 sevens they've all been taken to service because of code it doesn't make economic sense for the main global legacy carrier airlines does

this mean however that the triple 7 fitted with the practice but the engine is heading down the same road that the 737 project found itself on when boeing had to say ground all of that particular kind of aircraft around the world. i think it's unlikely in part because what happened with the 7 through 7 max was of a different nature old together although the engines were in pole it wasn't the same engine manufacturer was in the same model engine and it wasn't a uncontained earlier such as what happened in denver and the investigation of the 737 max was very thorough and boeing was rightfully. determined to be somewhat at fault with the design process nothing of the sort has come up in the history of the triple 7 as it turns out this particular craft in denver was one of the very 1st produced by the way it was manufactured in 1904 has been flying for

united airlines since 1900. and in that time there hasn't been a sustained pattern of this kind of engine problem happening with this aircraft model and engine combination so clearly told the investigators will be looking you've already raised the issue and we shouldn't try to 2nd guess it at the issue of the fan blades within the jet engine you're there in boston if you've got any flights planned any time soon would you go and happily comfortably put yourself your wife new kids on a triple 7 with a profit and with the engine set up well in the short term i mean not have an option. as has been said by united airlines they've already grounded all $24.00 of the triple 7 is that they have with this engine and the f.a.a. were mandated there be extra inspections of all other triple 7 sort of flying in the u.s. and i'm almost certain that other authorities around the world will follow very closely to what the effaced so if they become available again for flight i would

have any hesitation ok we'll have to leave it there todd curtis great to talk to top thank you very much thanks again for having me. coming up shortly defiance in the face of protests today as anti coup movement calls for a national strike and more demonstrations plus. 10 years on new zealanders all of the many victims of the christ church. it's time for the perfect. sponsored plan qatar airways because something of a mixing of the seasons that you had over the next couple of days some pleasant warmth around at the moment but with this not quite done with us just yet 23 celsius there for on monday 20 celsius in the saca want to see when she fires

watching al-jazeera live from doha i'm peter double your headline stories the pulse of the u.n. nuclear watchdog has reached a temporary agreement with iran on inspections but less access granted as iran continues reducing its compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal. u.s. aviation regulators support an extra inspections with boeing triple 7 en route the fit with a type of engine that exploded the engine made by president with these up at a cost structure the failure rate of flights in the u.s. on saturday landed safely and has told carriers to ground triple 7 is with those engines. to al-jazeera as faddy selami in tokyo fadi hi there what the flight author writes is saying that 2 local carriers who operate the triple sufferer. hello to you and the audience. actually the news as the hasn't been circulated so widely in the japanese media we

had of it few hours ago that the japanese authorities are asking look at credit carriers and the main 2 carriers. or nippon airways and japan airlines to halt the operation of the 7 aircrafts that includes $1000.00 aircrafts from 15 from. john has already announced that they're going to retire all 15 triple 7 they announced that the last month in january after an incident happened where 7 had to land to make an emergency landing in the port of and they port off now in okinawa southern of japan because the cover of the engine went out and apparently it hit the tail of the airplane and force there then to make an emergency landing they announce they're going to land the 13 aircrafts at

that time so basically for them it's not going to affect very much the fleet but for ana they have ordered the 15 of this type of airplanes $1000.00 of them they have the same kind of engine that involve the united the. airlines. lost x i said and so but all this is adding to the more fear to a bus injures who want to travel as you know now is under state of emergency and. almost the doesn't have any connection international connection with the aircraft or any airlines coming to japan because of the state of emergency no foreign scum come to japan now until the 7th of march until the end of the state of emergency so most of the aircraft carriers they're used for only local transportation domestically i mean and this one. more to an already very very bad situation for the. lines that japan was supposed to host the

olympics last year and it has been delayed for for this year for one year many airlines they were gearing up they were employing more staff they were buying more planes and so the now they have stuck with this situation and has already announced that they are cutting $3500.00 jobs from its workforce by by 2 or 2022 so that's only one year and they're going to reduce their fleet by 10 percent so all this bad news if you may say it's adding more to the mystic view of the future of. lines in japan ok 30 thank you very much. libya's interior minister has survived what he's described as a well planned attempted assassination fathi push agas convoy was fired on as it drove in the west of the capital tripoli it happened as the government in tripoli
