u.s. to make the 1st move and lift unilateral sanctions but iran says it will respond accordingly if europe does take any action against this is because there's some reports suggesting the u.k. germany and france are working on a resolution to present to the i.a.e.a. and it would condemn iran for breaching the deal last week to iran stopped voluntary cooperation with the agency ending all surprise inspections and disabling cameras which was set to monitor the nuclear facilities agency chief grossly reached an agreement with iran to continue those inspections for at least 3 months and the agency's board of governors is scheduled to meet later on monday to discuss the nuclear program here is trita parsi executive vice president of the currency institute who says both sides need to make some goodwill gestures if they want to see some progress. this is extremely unfortunate this is not helpful what the iranians have decided it is unfortunately not surprising however from their

perspective the biden restriction is continuing trounce sanctions policy and justice trump sought to have dialogue with the iranians while he was sanctioning them with crippling sanctions in the midst of a pandemic and they said no to that they are refusing to engaging on that if there are no signs from biden that he will lift the sanctions if he rejoins the deal and this is the buy administration on the other hand feel that they should not have to give any concessions to the iranians before getting talks started this is getting serious it is problematic but this process is far from that one thing that is really unhelpful here is that the europeans have decided to go to the board of governors of the i.a.e.a. and start a century a new conflict there which seemed to have complicated matters tremendously we have to remember that the iranians have reduced some of their obligations and they're going to get censored for that according to your p.s. the united states has and that all of its obligations and has not gotten

a sense that forward so i think that move in the midst of this very delicate dance to try to get the 2 parties to take in this still small step not so much that the loose face but enough to get the process started has really not been helpful and perhaps it will be would draw on but it is part of this very problematic opening to this diplomacy at this time both sides should be doing goodwill gestures rather than taking these type of measures. the syrian military says its air defense has responded to an israeli strike near damascus state media says the missiles were fired from the occupied golan heights but most were intercepted in the vicinity of the capital has been no official response from israel or. the by the administration is about to begin talks with the taliban the state department says u.s. envoy zalmay khalilzad will travel to afghanistan and the main goal being to find a political settlement to forge a permanent ceasefire between the taliban and the afghan government they reached

have to say that if he was found guilty in the fall it would certainly put a huge domino on his political ambitions going forward so even though he would be very likely to appeal however if he's found not guilty of course he will feel vindicated he will feel that that will perhaps give him the platform the springboard he needs to make a political comeback however the difficulty for sarkozy is his legal woes are far from over he has at least 2 other corruption trials to be carried to be carried out in the next year. mexican health official criticized for downplaying the coronavirus pandemic has now fallen ill with the disease itself is distant health secretary you've got taylor's been receiving treatment for 5 days in a stable condition has been the face of the government's response to the pandemic but has been criticized for dismissing the need for masts and leaving a strategy of limited testing. and while millions are in lockdown in brazil's
