hours that some highest number since this pandemic began. rescue workers renew their search for survivors and indonesia and east timor in the aftermath of a devastating sight. now iran's president has hailed progress in these latest efforts to revive the 2050 nuclear deal hassan rouhani has called tuesday's talks in vienna a new success for his government 2 working groups were set up to discuss the possible lifting of u.s. sanctions as well as terence renewed commitment to the deal meanwhile there are also on tuesday an iranian ship was attacked in the red sea near the coast of japan and still unclear who was responsible well that's now speak to us a big he's in the iranian capital tehran for us as of starting with these attack as you're a saying details still sketchy but what more do we know. well the foreign ministry has been speaking this morning that they've said that this was
11:02 am
a logistical support ship used as a base in the red sea and the gulf of aden so is there to secure shipping lanes and carry out anti piracy measures that's according to the foreign ministry they've also said that the ship's mission and its location was given to the international maritime organization state t.v. have said that the. rain and ship belongs to the iranian navy and a mine was attached to it now we know that this ship has been in the red sea for a number of years in fact the u.s. naval institute in 2020 in the report said that it was a covert military ship used by the revolutionary guard now iran denies that but saudi arabia have repeatedly criticized its presence in the red sea and some officials under the trumpet ministration accused this ship of being used in aiding . in yemen there have been a number of reports of attacks against israeli and ships in the last month and
11:03 am
israel accused iran of targeting one of its ships with a missile and since joe biden has come into office there's been more reports of attacks and there are also reports of a clandestine water taking place in the seas between israel and iran of the last 2 years but there are some in iran who feel that this latest attack against a ship that is used by the military is an attempt to sabotage those nuclear talks in vienna on the nuclear program and obviously this is happening within the context of these very fragile talks which tehran says have been constructive so far but it's still a very delicate. yes very delicate president hassan rouhani speaking a cabinet meeting this morning he said that it was a success he boasted about his government's handling of the economy over the last 2 to 3 years in the face of sanctions and what he called an economic war a view that may not be shared by many hearing. because the economy has struggled he
11:04 am
was very beaten he actually said that is the united states that is seeking in direct and direct talks and it's the united states that's been humbled and it is the united states that wants to repent for its past mistakes and wants to rejoin the g 8 but the context for this is that there are presidential elections set to take place in june he's terminal soon and he doesn't want to be known as a president that resided over a failed nuclear deal and was unable to deliver on his promise of getting u.s. sanctions lifted on iran but there still is a very long way to go iran doesn't seem to be compromising on its demands that all sanctions must be lifted before iran reverses any measures taken in its nuclear program so we'll see those talks are still ongoing in vienna but president hassan rouhani is very upbeat as in fact there with a view for us from tehran thanks so much as. well to me on mon now where there are reports of security forces again using live fire against protesters at least 8

11:06 am
section of myanmar yes we're hearing that several have been killed these are from local media as well as posts on social media that's pretty much the only way you can really get information out of myanmar right now one thing that's even more disturbing about this is that there are there is evidence at least again on social media and local media reporting that there is evidence from some of the wounds by some of those protesters that r.p.g. that rocket propelled grenades now these are this shows a uptick in the weaponry used by the security forces so that's very concerning that's you have yet to be confirmed but some local media saying that there are wounds consistent with the shrapnel that these r.p.g. s. are spread out once they're detonated. well dozens of people are still missing for days off the flash floods ripped through parts of indonesia and east timor conditions have finally started to improve and rescue work is now hoping to reach one most communities still in need at least 126 deaths have now been confirmed in
