in tehran keeping across all the events and both foreign ministers. there about the talks what are they been saying. well yes the russian foreign minister has said that they are hopeful that the can be revived and obviously these talks are going to take place in vienna from an stage of odds are if he said that the u.s. needs to return to that deal and lift all sanctions but he did issue a warning he said that time was running out and that's because of the domestic political situation here in iran following that incident in the towns there is a great deal of pressure on foreign minister devolves refund president hassan rouhani and the reformist government to act and to act right now if you look at some of the headlines one of the headlines was. the power of diplomatic. power over the talks and laughter because there's been many images of foreign minister divides raef laughing and smiling with foreign ministers and he's been

criticized for that they conservatives inside the country believe that he should be acting tougher that iran should take a tougher stance and time is running out because we have that presidential election coming up in june and the president hassan rouhani is administration will come to an end later this year and the u.s. and europe may be faced with ministration here in iran is much less likely to want to talk to the united states and the europeans and much much less likely want to return to that deal but for foreigners to also did say that if the united states thinks that they can get concessions from iran through sanctions or encouraging acts of terrorism by israel against iran they're greatly mistaken and he also said that iran he promised that iran would improve their centrifuges and they were switched to more advanced centrifuges he said the investigation around in the 10s incident has been investigated and when they find out who is responsible there will

be a response now aside from all the rhetoric one thing that iran has followed up on is every time that they has been an incident back in the explosion. the natanz plant iran said that they would expand their production they did that following the assassination of iran's lead scientist in november mohsin fuckers the iran said that they would would respond and what they did was increased enrichment and restricted i.e. inspectors now it looks like that iran is again threatening more actions and this is one thing that they have followed through on in the past. various places they're from tehran thanks very much. says a minnesota ignored a curfew in order to demonstrate for a 2nd night angry about the shooting of a black. pepper spray to disperse the crowds gathered in brooklyn center a suburb of minneapolis that's where dante rights was killed during a traffic stop on sunday and they says reports almost a police chief squalling

enough to be released. you know danny. we will attain a level of safety far above the regulation standards and the government will take exhaustive measures against harmful rumors we have judged that release into the ocean is a realistic option and decided it is the policy to follow. supporters of the plan say this kind of water release is common practice in the nuclear industry and that there's only a minimal risk to health but its parents are hurt businesses in fukushima like tourism and fishing that have taken years to rebuild and opposition to it extends to japan's neighbors in south korea protesters gathered outside the japanese embassy with some claiming it's an act of nuclear terrorism fears about the impact on industries like fisheries with the government calling the move totally unacceptable. the decision poses

a threat to the safety and marine environment of neighboring countries it is a unilateral action taken without you consultation. there's also been condemnation from china which is called the decision extremely irresponsible and it comes as japan is about to mark a $100.00 day countdown to its summer olympics delayed by the pandemic already mired in controversy the issue of fukushima's contaminated water has cast a further shadow over the event tokyo will hope the decision to release the water will be one less problem to overcome but the political and diplomatic fallout from it might make that wishful thinking rob mcbride al jazeera so. they you is calling for action following an investigation which found the syrian government likely used a chlorine bomb in 2018 as a sham for the prohibition of chemical weapons says there are reasonable grounds to believe syria's air force use the bomb on homes in the rebel held region injuring

patients as the numbers india confirms more than 161000 virus cases on tuesday and 879 deaths were prominent joins us now from new delhi and liz another day of shockingly high numbers and it looks like the hospitals are really struggling to cope. hello laura yes unfortunately we are seeing the kinds of pictures that we did last year during the peak of the 1st wave of the coronavirus most recently we have seen pictures of bodies outside the biggest government run hospital in the city of port and dr who is chief medical officer said this is because they don't have enough freezes to keep the bodies and that. bodies at crematorium in the city that can be cremated that hospital's intensive care units and oxygen equipped beds

have been almost full capacity over the past week and i put it in the state of chalk this go which is one of the worst affected at the moment it also has a disproportionately high death rate which is why the central government and to medical teams to top the school or to find out why the situation is so bad there why more people seem to be dying there and those teams reported back and said that there are a number of issues there is a lack of hospital beds in many districts there's a shortage of ambulances in one district that the number of tests of going down that containment measures aren't being aren't being. imposed properly and that there is resistance to other containment measures including attacks on health care workers boss these issues and check this are not unique to that stage most of these issues are and we have reports of a shortage of medical facilities of equipment in a number of places most notably in the worst affected state maharashtra where

medical teams which were sent there also said that there was an act of oxygen supply and even malfunctioning venton ace's and all the reports of a vaccine shortage but a new vaccine has just been approved. india's drugs regular troops body has given emergency use approval to the russian made vaccine which is currently in phase 3 trials and dia and the russian organization which is bringing the vaccine to india said that the 1st doses will arrive by may but they're also licensing it to 5 indian manufacturers so that it can be produced locally and this follows about a week of complaints from many states that they are running out of vaccines most notably again. we've seen pictures of signs up in vaccines and to saying that they've run out of doses there are reports of people who are eligible being way now the government has denied that there was

a vaccine shortage the health minister said a few days ago that they have more than 40000000 doses in stock in supply but we have to remember that. around 3000000 people are being vaccinated every day and the government is encouraging anyone who's eligible anyone over the age of 45 to get inoculated if they can and all of this has to be seen in the context of india's role as in pharmaceuticals it is the world's biggest vaccine maker it produces 60 percent of all of the vaccines in the world it was the biggest contributor to the un's kovacs program and shipped more than 60000000 doses to other countries and about a few weeks ago the government was coming under criticism for shipping more doses at that point than the number of people it had inoculated at home that which point the indian government considerably slowed down exports to prioritize vaccinating people at home and there's a promise from new delhi thanks to. turkey and libya have held their 1st high

navigate the nation's sovereignty in order to rebuild the fragile nation restaurants there that al-jazeera istanbul. mexico under us and guatemala have agreed to put more troops at their borders as a growing number of migrants trying to make their way to the u.s. as according to a white house official number of people seeking asylum in the u.s. as resident recent months despite both mexico and under us already increasing the number of troops in this particular struggling with a surge of unaccompanied children arriving from central america shepherd's hansie has more from washington d.c. . i think it shows once again how much continuity there is between the by dick ministrations policies on migration and the trumpet ministrations policy on migration it's true that there have been a spike in numbers at least of encounters at the border and these could be repeat repeat attempts at seeking asylum in the us but joe biden has retained the most draconian of the trump era policies notably title $42.00 which prevents the vast

majority of asylum seekers and refugees from seeking due process in complete violation of international and domestic law only biden is allowing an unaccompanied children and rather reluctantly allowing in families with young children or those trying to pressure mexico to keep those families with young children in mexico it's rather worrying for migrant rights groups who hear the rhetoric of the biting ministration of such concern about unaccompanied children and families with young young children but what they seem to be doing in effect there right now is is encouraging very strongly mexico and central american nations to crack down hard on migrants heading to to the u.s. and of course many of these forces have terrible human rights record in fact this is a tweet from what a noted immigrant bright person in the u.s. a key objective is to outsource the abuse of migrants to other governments to push the abuses off u.s. soil so that the u.s. government can escape accountability and all terribly impressed. more hostile and rocks have rained down on the caribbean island of st vincent 2nd volcanic eruption

in less than week phase of last so forever ok now it's believed to be one of the largest in more than a century around 16000 people have been forced to leave areas close by authorities say they're concerned about residents who refuse to leave. when harry is a program manager at n.b.c. radio he says the islands are already in desperate need of a. because i want to distribution system depends on on as mentioned a surface water which is highly contaminated many are for want to collection systems in the upper want to shed below the flanks of the volcano and in close proximity to be affected by ash drinking want to is very much hard to come by i know there are persons who have been to the stores that were opened a few that were open today searching for bottled water pushes that has been a limited supply we have gotten pledges from our regional neighbors to get bottled water to us but we don't have the time and the yet but it's

a matter of us having drinking want to particularly and fresh available want to foot particularly those in the shelters and those who remain in their homes across the different zones the concern is that the the explosive eruption will continue the scientists advised that this may go on for days and they go on for weeks may going well beyond that and there may be very large explosions from time to time throwing even more into the atmosphere and the ever present threat of the plastic density currents is one of the major concerns from the limited reports we've had those ones because it's really dangerous to be that this time we've heard of stories of farmlands pretty much been stripped bare of of leaves and all of the things that you would normally see on a farm the structures have all been destroyed a very close to the volcano and this information is limited and it's not going to be a pretty picture when we when we get a few full view of things. as one of the most ambitious renewable energy plans in

the united states to get 70 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030 that might cause a short term increase in fossil fuels as explains. in the heart of new york since the legendary band alice once the world's largest generator of electricity it's owner power now wants to make it the cleanest by building. the largest battery facility in the country here a 316 megawatt storage facility for renewable energy what are the challenges that you face to meet this deadline in terms of c.e.o. clint plummer acknowledges it won't be easy our challenge is new york's show and it's also the culture challenge of the world challenges how do we transition from a city that's run primarily on fossil fuels for as long as you know what just a day to one. now growing on clean energy infrastructure that make people more diverse. because the batteries will replace their dirtiest carbon spewing oil and

gas fired generators the ones they rely on to power new york city and high demand periods like a heat wave if the plan is to connect them to wind and solar farms proposed for construction outside the city new york is attempting to women self 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 unlike fossil fuels you clear our midst no carbon and no small unlike your bills like solar and wind it is not. pro nuclear power environmentalist say batteries aren't yet up to the task of replacing fossil fuels the group nuclear new york calculates it will take a wind farm larger than new york city to replace the energy generated by indian

point alone the amount of electricity that it builds store the. 30 minutes of new york city's energy needs so if you think about. the amount of solar or wind that you hypothetically feed to that battery to feed new york city. like where are you going to put it. natural gas facilities are expected to make up the different. resulting in an increase in carbon emissions in the short term still others say the switch to renewables can't wait i think we're going to be . difficult to imagine. but it's going to happen really. and we're really on that path now the path may be uncertain but in new york the goal of eliminating carbon emissions at least is no longer up for debate kristen salumi al-jazeera new york.
