say 2 things one 1st of all it's important to these sanctions are important just as a as a condemnation of the militaries behavior i think the international community is kind of been horrified by what they've been seeing hundreds of people murdered in the streets thousands of people detained in nighttime raids and it's important for the international community to take a stand and say that this is this is not acceptable. but also these sanctions need to be played paired with with intense regional diplomatic efforts we've already seen that the indonesian government and other governments within southeast asia have called for a reverse of this coup even the chinese government has explained express displeasure with the military for this so you know this is this is also part of this needs to be put sanctions need to be paired with a broader diplomatic push and regional engagement with countries that do have diplomatic influence in myanmar in order to make them more effective and also to push diplomatic efforts to resolve the current crisis forward iran says that it's

become testing new advanced uranium enrichment centrifuges just ahead of another round of talks in vienna president has some rouhani made the announcement during a virtual meeting of iran's annual national nuclear technology day to iran has been steadily moving away from the terms of the 2050 nuclear deal since the u.s. pulled out of the donald trump of the policies to the deal a trying to revive it said big reports now from iran's capital tehran. this is a national day of nuclear chief this day came about back in 2006 when iran managed to enrich uranium to about 3.5 percent using centrifuges made in the country now we were expecting over 130 announcements of new achievements over in relation to its nuclear program now iran is using more advanced centrifuges and feeding into them but also began production of the 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 some and iran says now 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 lifted 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 of some of the other countries don't fulfill their responsibilities but it does 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. prince philip's funeral will be held privately at windsor castle on april 17th with 8 days of national mourning in place . across the u.k. and at sea to honor the duke of edinburgh. queen elizabeth. and died on friday at the age of $99.00 he served in the navy during the 2nd world war military officials said that he was a great inspiration and role model for the armed forces one hour from al-jazeera story chalons is a buckingham palace in london the queen is in mourning now of course that began on friday when the news broke and she will be in official mourning for 8 days now that means that essentially the official business certainly of the role family but also

of the government's really constricts there won't be any royal signatures put to government bills but there will be a limitation on the campaigning for upcoming local elections. that mourning period for the queen certainly will end after 8 days but then even for a following month she will not really be much insight. and she will be i think staying mainly within the palace is behind closed doors and i think until you get the funeral taking place then officially on government buildings around the country flags like the one you can see behind me over buckingham palace are all going to be flown at half mast until the morning after the funeral so that yes the u.k. the moment is a country in an official period of mourning several police officers were injured in another night of street violence in northern ireland protesters in belfast through

strength during a funeral exactly well nearly just exactly a year ago bobbie story and i are a member of a petrol i remember had died and the police did took no action with the 2000 people amongst them in fein leaders who broke coded regulations apparently now the loyalists of the unionist politicians have said point blank the police should have taken action and we have amongst this all all of this with the police under pressure a call from the 1st minister ali and foster for the chief constable of northern ireland to resign which he refuses to do so you have that going on as an irritation to loyalists who are furious about that add to that the nature of the paramilitaries that loyalist paramilitaries being involved in organized crime some theories suggest that they are the cause of a lot of this violence they're actually organizing it and in fact calling for

a lol in all of the violence because of prince philip dying that was breached on friday night as we saw and now there is a worry that this could go on this is not going away by no means the president of turkey and ukraine of held a closed door meeting in istanbul. a lot of. where expected to discuss defense industry cooperation trade tourism but the talks come as russian troops gather on the border with ukraine while from. istanbul. this is the 2nd time as a lensky and don it come together after last october and last october in 2022 countries signed many deals many economic cooperation deals and they're in most significant ones over worthy actually defense corp d s ukraine it is purchasing turkey's groans of the drones that turkey has been
