a headless corpse dressed in a police uniform that some people are suggesting is a very direct message about the number of protesters who appear to have been shot in the head and killed by snipers in the course of the crackdown by the burma military but again it's very difficult to verify any information coming out of myanmar at the moment the ruling internet blackouts stifling an awful lot of information coming out of the country all right tony chang there thanks so much. several police officers were injured in another night of violence in northern ireland protesters in belfast threw petrol bombs and rammed the burning car into a police vehicle despite calls for calm and respect for the death of prince philip young british loyalists who have been rioting every night for more than a week angry about post issues from belfast sanderson's has more on the causes of

its nuclear program now iran is using more advanced centrifuges and feeding into them but it's also began production of the 6 centrifuges that's important because under the 2015 nuclear deal iran is restricted to using older and less efficient centrifuges not these ones but also. apparently the production of the centrifuges was damaged because of apparent sabotage last summer and now iran says that they are producing this now this is all in the context of those talks that took place in vienna and did yesterday continue next week on wednesday and this is just iran showing that they will continue along this line along this path as long as those sanctions are not and. the europeans are not living up to their commitments and iran has been pretty transparent about it they've told the international atomic agency of what they've been doing and as far as iran is concerned they're within the agreement to take what they see as remedial measures but the europeans and i think this is a breach but the supreme leader said just 2 weeks ago that iran will continue down

this path as some of the other countries don't fulfill their responsibilities but it does add that extra layer of complexity to those talks because as time goes by iran continues to take steps further away from those restrictions imposed on its nuclear program as part of that 2015 nuclear deal. greek journalist has been shot dead outside his home in athens. was attacked by 2 gunmen on a motorbike he was one of the country's best known crime reporters police say the murder was a professional hit. has more from athens. police haven't said anything officially yet about the murder but local reports which are gleaned from things that the police have said on officially report that at least 2 men approached the crime reporter your skydivers as he parked his car and walks to his house in the
