big stories and rituals in the big events going on but we also tell the stories of people who generally don't have a voice and i'm going to charge more that's going to be afraid to go on the last question and i think that's what our series does yoest the question should people be should be accountable and also if we get people to give their view of what's going on. israel's prime minister says he'll never left iran obtain nuclear weapons just hours after terror on blamed israel for an incident at its main nuclear facility. hello there i'm a saudi attain this is al jazeera life and also coming up the police shooting of a black man sparks anger in minnesota it comes during the trial of a former officer charged in the killing of george showing. huge crowds gather at

a religious festival in india as it records a huge rise in corona virus cases it's now the 2nd west hit country. and the famous gold thing victory that he must see on that becomes the 1st japanese man to win a major championship. now israel's prime minister says iran is the grace just a threat in the middle east and he won't allow it to obtain nuclear capability his comments come as iran blames israel to sabotage in its key nuclear facility tehran describe sunday's incident which knocked out of power grid and the towns as an act of terrorism it happened today off to iran unveiled new advanced uranium centrifuges. that iran must never possess nuclear weapons my policy as prime minister of israel is clear i will never allow iran to obtain the nuclear

capability to carry out its genocidal goal of eliminating israel and israel will continue to defend itself against iran's aggression and terrorism well high force that is in west jerusalem and he has well on what the israeli prime minister had to say. what he didn't talk about was the iran nuclear deal that the by the ministration has said that it wants to. find a way back towards and that's what these talks in vienna this week being resumed are all about and so he didn't mention that deal at all unlike his defense minister benny gantz obviously of also a very bitter political rival they just fought an election against each other they don't have a shared policy platform but he in his meeting with austin on sunday said that israel would work closely with the americans to ensure that any new deal safeguarded israeli security netanyahu who has been speaking very vociferously against any idea of the deal didn't even mention it in public as for austin again

there was fairly familiar u.s. language about the ensuring nature of the alliance about looking for stability in the region and working together to find enduring peace supporting the efforts of the previous trump administration in terms of achieving more normalization between israel and arab nations in the region but there was no mention by him of iran at all and no mention either by either man specifically about this attack on the enrichment facility at natanz there has been though a report from the news agency here in israel citing an unnamed u.s. official saying that there was no u.s. involvement in that attack pretty wide scale briefing from israeli intelligence sources though to the local media that there was israeli involvement well after bag as in terror on with all the latest on the iranian reaction to that explosion in towns. nuclear terrorism is how iran has described this latest incident at its main

enrichment facility pointing the finger at israel. what happened in tons as israel's official i've said it several times and what we're hearing from different sources it confirms that israel was behind this incident u.s. media said it was an explosive device and not a cyber attack although they quoted an identified intelligence sources there still very little information out of iran about how the attack was carried out in my view without a doubt this is definitely not a coincidence and one thing you need to remember while it is. israelis the usual suspect in these events over the last few years one must be mindful that there are many opponents in many different corners to the resumption of their joint comprehensive plan of action not the least of which is from within iran itself iran is now urging the international atomic energy agency to take action saying it

reserves the right to punish the perpetrators this development comes at an important time as iran prepares to return to vienna for talks negotiations about the 2015 nuclear agreement started last week but in direct talks between the iran and the united states president joe biden says he's willing to risk the deal that was abandoned 3 years ago by his previous as a donald trump that is if iran comes into compliance with the deal there's now been 2 attacks against in the times nuclear facility in the space of a year and israel has also been blamed for the assassination of iran's nuclear scientist and last week's attack against in the rainy ship in the red sea this latest incident has get again raise questions about the country's ability to protect its facilities iran has always boasted about its nuclear chief and some capabilities leverage it wants to use in negotiations. just days ago state television aired a music video promoting its nuclear program but for now it's unclear how much

damage has been inflicted and how far back the program has been set aside big al-jazeera. now moving on and protests have been held in the u.s. state of minnesota after a police officer shot a black man dante wright's family said he crashed his car after police shot him the shooting comes during the trial of a former minneapolis police officer charged for killing george floyd. reports. protests on the streets near minneapolis once again named at the police force prompted by the death of yet another black man this time 20 year old dunn tay right . police in brooklyn center a suburb of minneapolis say officers pulled over a man just before 2 pm on sunday and discovered he had an outstanding arrest warrant as they tried to detain him he got back in the car one officer shot dante

right to then drove away but hits another vehicle he was declared dead at the scene one officer fired a weapon striking the driver the vehicle continued and eventually crashed. and. medical resources were then deployed to the scene to the people involved the vehicle that was crashed into and the original group. the driver of the vehicle was was deceased his mother was on the phone with him when it all happened she said they pulled him over for having air fresheners hanging from the review mirror and in legal offense in minnesota and bubbling up way back because they dug they don't run and. there are those that put the phone down and hung it up and then to break a minute later i called in his girlfriend answered with the passenger in the car and that even started me she put it on the. drivers by to make them look away in

their life. people are on edge here has all this happened just 16 kilometers away from where george floyd was killed in may last year. former police officer derek chauvinists currently on trial after he was film kneeling on lloyd's neck for more than 9 minutes during the arrest the video sparked global protests against police brutality and racism in the united states drugs chauvinists charged with murder and manslaughter his trial is in its 3rd week in a courthouse surrounded with tight security the minnesota national guard troops deployed for the trial have now been sent to brooklyn center there are local reports of some protesters destroying and looting local businesses. and 2 police protesters had already been rallying since the trial started. when i was up there is maybe it ever was going to be the last time that we are come together it was 14 years of the protesting. but i can keep taking up all this complex people for no reason salads you know mental health problems so this is the way the land is still

solidarity ensure that we're not just an affair because the governor of minnesota says the state is mourning another life of a black man taken away by your enforcement side of it which is an era. when i speak to john hendren he's in minneapolis for us john lowe's a and 14 becoming so fairly familiar scenes there we've already seen how tense this community is and that really hasn't changed. all too familiar i'm standing here waiting for the beginning of the derek chauvinist trial and the family of george floyd the victim in that case is just walked bias on their way to that trial and of course floyd was arrested for giving what was thought to be a fake $20.00 bill a crime generally considered so minor that police merely give out it chicot for it rather than arresting somebody well over night it was dante right and he had air

fresheners hanging from the rearview mirror of his car that so the reason he told his mother that police were pulling him over and that ended in a similar way to the george floyd case with a black man apparently unarmed killed by police and that sent protesters into those streets by the hundreds about 16 kilometers away in brooklyn center and as the approach to a police station something they did here after the may 25th death of george floyd police officers dispelled them with pepper spray and that set off riots and looting in that area and then read here to downtown minneapolis where buildings had been boarded up after the last time and in preparation for this trial so this is off on tingly familiar scene for people here and of course the protesters who were already here in minneapolis didn't have far to go and he and i and i think the jury is set to walk in any minute for day 11 of the shaven trial what should we be looking for

as we head into this week now. that's right well there's been a debate these small orning between the attorneys in front of the judge as to whether the next expert on police brutality that the prosecution was planning to call is overkill the defense is saying they'll be testifying to something 6 other people have testified to before the prosecution is arguing that in fact this witness will bring up new facts talking about national standards of police brutality so we may hear from that expert in police brutality and excessive force but we're also expecting to hear from what they call a spark of life witness before the prosecution closes its case either today or tomorrow and that's really usually have a friend or a member of the family who can speak to the life of the person who died this is something that generally happens at the sentencing stage it's a victim impact statement where people talk about how that person's death affected

other people where here we're going to hear apparently at the close of the prosecution case if they are to take that route which is their option then the defense takes over and argues its case and we can expect to hear from medical witnesses who say that derrick children did not cause the death of george floyd and that perhaps drug overdose was the cause of floyd's death that's what they've been arguing but defense or prosecution witness after witness after witness has testified that that's simply not the case john has going to be watching that trial for us this week in minneapolis thanks so much john. after i have here here on out of there we bring you the latest on the rescue efforts underway in china when 21 miners are trapped underground. and as new york when the found fossil fuels we look at why the transition to renewables may actually cause an emissions arrives in the short term.

stationary over sumatra the far south of thailand that's in malaysia shower seem big and fairly frequent and with a slow moving crease in the matter of rains south of the bay of bengal there are parts of india that will indeed see showers or even light rain for the next day or so chennai is a case in point light rain is forecast for the northern plains is still hot air quality is not like good. talked to al jazeera. can you tell me what the government you represent is now illegitimate and we listen we do not sell the fence material any country during the conflict in yemen we meet with global news makers until about the stories that matter on al-jazeera play an important role ringback.

what. kind of a watching al-jazeera let's remind you about top stories this hour israel's prime minister says iran is the greatest threat in the middle east and he won't allow it to obtain nuclear capability terror on has meanwhile blamed israel for sunday's blackout incident added to the town's nuclear site. police in minnesota have cleared protesters who gathered outside the station after an officer shot a 20 year old black man dante wright's family says he crashed his car after being shot by police he was later pronounced dead.

medical teams to the worst affected states and to other states. with the death rate was very very high to try and figure out why the situation. was what it was in my doctrine and also in punjab and justice because the medical teams have said that in all of the states that closed 19 appropriate behavior isn't being followed that the containment measures on optimal that testing capacity is overwhelmed that worryingly in maharashtra there are enough health workers to deal with the at least 60000 cases a day that the state is recording that there isn't enough oxygen supply and that ventilation is malfunctioning over the past few days in maharashtra we have started to see migrant workers and the a has a very large number of people who work in different states to where they're from starting to leave the capital moema they're also starting to leave india's capital delhi because they are afraid that they are going to lose their jobs and that

went wrong this time is yet to be determined victoria gates and al-jazeera. well let's now return to one of our top stories that police shooting in minnesota that killed a 20 year old black man our correspondent allan fisher is now at the site of that shooting and can sense that mystery he joins us live allan i can see a number of police and security forces and police officials there around you what else are you saying. well you can feel that the year is slightly subdued after the protests here you can see just what the protesters did to this sign and we apologize for the obscenities that you can read there the police very much on edge the buses there for the reinforcements that were brought in the shooting happened just after 2 o'clock on sunday afternoon as news spread throughout brooklyn center which is about a 1520 minute drive from the center of minneapolis at the crowds began to gather it

for us live. thanks so much allan now moving on or thirty's in the u.s. state of new york promising to have 70 percent of their electricity come from renewable sources by 2030 and that's one of the most ambitious clean energy plans in the country christianson any reports. in the heart of new york sits the legendary big gallus once the world's largest electric generating unit its owner rise light power now wants to make it the cleanest with plans to build the largest battery facility in the country right here in 2 years a storage facility for renewable energy what are the challenges that you face to meet this deadline in terms of c o clint plummer acknowledges it won't be easy our challenge is new york's challenge and it's also a culture challenge of the world challenges how do we transition from a city that's primarily on fossil fuels for as long as you know what just

a day to one that's. now running on clean energy infrastructure that may be a little more diverse and they're taking their dirtiest carbon spewing oil and gas fired generators off line to make way for the batteries they'll also need transmission lines to tie into wind and solar farms outside the city but currently renewables make up just 2 percent of downstate energy new york is attempting to wean itself off of fossil fuels at the same time it's taking another major source of carbon free electricity offline indian point nuclear power plant in 2019 this facility alone was responsible for 13 percent of the state's power. while environmentalist long pushed for its closure some are now arguing nuclear power is currently the only carbon free technology able to replace fossil fuels they point out the state is building more natural gas facilities to make up the difference and

if you look at the examples of germany and vermont in california there are small studies that have shown that when you get rid of nuclear in general air pollution or carbon emissions actually increase still others say the switch to renewables has to start happening for new york power to be carbon free by 2040 right now. when. now. under way to make. less expensive. and we're. all agreed the need to keep the lights on and a limited fossil fuels mean there must be change on the horizon kristen salumi al jazeera new york. now there are warnings the volcanic eruption on the caribbean island of st vincent could leave $20000.00 people displaced for months rescue efforts have already been hampered after another eruption caused widespread power and water outages last year free of ok no faster up there on friday and is expected

a lot of youngsters in japan watching today hopefully in 5 or 10 years some of them will be competing on the world stage and they can follow in my footsteps. but that's yama started the final round at augusta 4 shots clear but the nerves began to show in the closing stages. but he took shots at the 15th and 16th holes and was in danger of throwing it all the way. but luckily for him despite another bogey at the last his one over par round of $73.00 was enough to secure a famous victory by want to shot the 29 year old without a win on the p.g.a. tour for 4 years was now a major champion in a touching moment on the green his caddie paid his own respects to the famous course by former masters winners tiger woods and jack nicklaus were among those to congratulate matsuyama on social media and several players stayed behind to embrace him as he made his way back to the clubhouse. man he was

something else he's like i wanted to play he was like a robot this was a one time inevitable that it is an awesome choir and. this certainly doesn't surprise me. but his victory is big news back home in japan and was well received by some of those making the monday morning commute in tokyo. non-single i heard that it's been 85 years since japanese golfers started playing in men's major tournament so when you think about it i think it's a tremendous achievement it's also worth a lot of oil so i think this is a great accomplishment i want japanese business industry to follow him as an example to expand their business in the world even the japanese prime minister gave his reaction describing it as a great achievement. don't you see it was really wonderful as the coronavirus pandemic drags on his achievement moved our hearts and gave us courage the tokyo

olympics starts in july and afterwards when i was asked if you would like to light the cauldron at the opening ceremony marsh in the sky as you did it would be quite an honor but i'm not sure about my schedule the timing works out and i'm in japan when it happens and they asked me what an honor that would be. whether he likes the frame or not matsuyama is almost certain to be picked for japan's olympic gold team providing him with a chance to win a gold medal to go with the green jacket david stokes out jazeera. however this is al-jazeera i mean for the headlines israel's prime minister says iran is the greatest threat in the middle east and he won't allow to obtain nuclear capability his comments come as a rant blames israel for sabotaging its kenya facility terror on describes sunday's incident which knocked out a power grid at natanz as an act of terrorism and.
