we've been hearing from the new president? that's the main takeaway from the brain raise. his speech is that is going to concentrate more in front of foreign policy on regional neighbors. he said he's going to extend to government extended hand of friendship to regional neighborhoods . at the same time, with respect to the west is going to listen to initiative to solve the problem. busy problem, however, with respect to the nuclear program, it's not going to be at any time other than a peaceful program. this is what this is what he said 3 times. and then he repeated that his country with always prohibits producing you can reference. this is on the foreign policy side from the other side, the side, the internal side was also trying to say, this is going to be the conciliation government. that extend it had to all the

people 2 lines of thought in the country. moderate reform. and this is, this is a way on another attempt in order to spot and you phase, as you said, the country facing economy prices before the country is also in the middle of the really foreign. busy threats, as he said, and there are a lot of challenges on this, on this front. so this is what you see was trying to present himself to the people off it on and also to that, to the foreign, maybe attendees. however, the speech today was clear with respect to him, emphasizing that usually are set up with govern him abiding by the supposed to reduce these out on several occasions during the, during the feat stuff in general. this is what you see outlined and highlighted

during a speech day. when it comes to those questions over iran's nuclear ambitions valley, do we know the nature of those initiatives that you're talking about that he would like to hear? i mean, how many options does he believe the rest of the world has when it comes to looking in on iran's nuclear program? with a what he's, he's saying that he's ready to listen to initiative to be the 1st beginning, the government of rainbow. i used to the new government that's going to be allows so that is to the trying to keep that may negotiate your best years already and, and talk with the lesson follows. and china and russia that need to get back to the 2015 nuclear. these are not ready to add anything to the sea and they're not ready to talk anything above. 5 the seas,

so it's not about any more talking the massage program, it's not about talking be rainy and regional activities are just about the nuclear be done today from its own point of view. he presented once again, i know the nation and all the confirmation that this program is not going to drive any military aspect to the new administration into hello, this is very close to the whole establishment. this is enough for them in order to get back to the for the holly, thanks very much on them to 0. so my colleague in tehran goods talk to you later. let's bring in hilary, man, leverett, she's for me, a white house national security official and co author of going to to ron why america must accept these, let me republic of iran. she joins us on skype from washington. hillary, welcome back to the news clearly and critical moments for iran. how does the country move forward now with a new precedent?

well, i think the elevation now president, right into his position, is enormously important. he may be one of the most important precedents in iran, modern history, because he is likely to be the person next in line to become supreme leader. so he has an enormously difficult and enormously consequential challenge in front of him, which is to bring the country together, essentially to study the ship internally domestically within the region and even on the international stage, to usher iran into a new era. i have, i wish the current supreme leader i until the day i wish him good health and a long life. but in an age of coded and with the supreme leaders increasing age. the country in iran and in the world has to really prepare for the next supreme leader. and that is very likely to be ever humor easy. so he has an enormous challenge in terms of the mundane tasks are running any kind of country. but he

also has these enormous aspirational tasks for an entire people to bring them into a new era. how does he turn around the economy? because that was clearly one of the aspects that people were voting on when the election came round. absolutely, the, i think there is a kind of idea that you know, you rod may be willing to just have a published economy to stand up to the united states. but i think if you look at more objectively, at the history of the climate republic, while it has plot seriously for its independence and its territorial integrity and its revolution, it is also very hard to have a sustainable, prosperous economy. notwithstanding all the challenges it has her right. you see someone who doesn't have any real economic background, this is going to be even more challenging, but more important. so it won't matter very much who his appointments are, who his ministers are. and it will matter what really the country can do under his

leadership, to diversify economy away from while away from dependence on the west. and to really tap into the enormous potential that the iranian people have in terms of their education, their technology, their manufacturing, and to do that very much within the region to build an economy. and iranian economy that can trade as a good neighbor within its region. that's where it's real economy promise lives when it comes to him taking his 1st steps into the arena of foreign policy. what happens if he says something or does something that would be perceived perhaps by his critics in washington? and he does have critics in washington who might label his attitude as being belligerent. he it, he may do so either by accident or on purpose, and that will be very interesting to see. you know, we certainly saw that, especially with former president would medina shot who said many things

provocatively toward washington, and many thought that he was kind of bumbling from accident accidental miss miss speech to accidental accident on miss speech. been a lot of ways it was strategically calculated, calculated to raise the tension with washington to force washington to take iran seriously. take a wrong concern seriously. and to try to force the united states into a negotiation that it was before that i'm willing to enter into. remember, the united states under president bush had designated iran is the part of the axis of evil, a country it would never negotiate with. but president medina, john with all of his laws, provoked washington essentially into negotiation. so it'll be very interesting to see whether a president, right, you see, uses the power of what we call here in the united states as a bully pulpit, to use his words to provoke washington into a negotiation on the wrong terms. or if he overstepped and provokes the next

confrontation, hillary always good to get your contextual analysis of, of what's going on in this region, particularly through the prism of where you are there in washington. thank you so much. larry man leverett talking to us from the states, i'll just, you know, as i said, big takes a closer look. now at these several challenges, the big challenges facing abraham racy i during the election campaign, the state of the economy dominated the debates. it's been effected by a combination of us sanctions and mismanagement in the past. yes. despite the promises that have been made, the problems won't be easy to fix. more at mann middle, we are going to make sure the sanctions lifted, but we are not going to connect our economy to lifting the sanctions. there are a few issues that the government is facing right now. the budget deficits investment and the stock market and also controlling the inflation corrode of virus,

and many other basic needs. so i appreciate what the 12th government has done, but we need a short term immediate program to resolve the issues we are facing today. there's not been much detail on policies or how they will be implemented. and the continued mistrust of some within governments could be an issue in future talks mayberry, me raise the wants with anxious listed that the only way they're going to be lifted . and i assume that means the oil and banking sector sanctions, as if the talks in vienna continue. and right now they've been installed since june 20 as and if they really want to see things change, they're going to have to sit down with the remaining signatories of the nuclear deal and makes them hard compromises. because right now the iranian economy is in shambles. station and national debt, or at all time highs. recent protests of a water shortages in the sun. i've seen solidarity protests in the capitals thereon . and as i mean, what the edge of which the presidential mandate that was given by the supreme

leader teresee had 2 major points support for domestic production and increasing the value of the national currency that depreciated over recent years. both of these issues are related to government, revenues, and economic prosperity. economic policies should be relevant with methods used to resolve economic problems. that in return would lead to increasing prosperity, family income, employment, and enlarging families, food baskets. pensions in the region are still high, as iran and israel engaged in a shed, a war several tankers have been attacked most recently, one of the coast of oman that killed 2 crew members, israel, the u. s, and the u. k. blamed iran thereon denied it was involved was the last year has seen iran's nuclear facilities attacked, the country's top scientist assassinated and a conservative lead parliament responding by restricting international inspections on the roads nuclear facilities. braimer is seen as a chosen candidate of the political establishment. oh,

but if he cannot address the immediate and pressing issues of the economy and sanctions, he's picked a future and ascendancy could be effected. i said big. i just, there was more still to come for here and use, including trying to make ends meet with charities and bangladesh are struggling to help communities, effective by cobra. 19 and half of all new cars must be electric in the states by 2030. the us president jo biden's promise for a revolution on american roads. and in sports, karachi makes it a limpid w in the spiritual home of japanese marshal ox. ah, $200000000.00 corona virus infections and climbing rapidly, it took a year to reach the 1st $100000000.00, but total cases have doubled in half. that time the search is being driven partly

naturally of course, by the delta barrier. but it's also highlighting the gap in vaccination rates between wealthy and poor countries. and that's why the will health organization is urging richer countries to pause their plans to administer booster shots in denise is the concern of all government to protect their people from the delta von and but we can not. and we should not accept countries that have already used most of the global upload vaccines. using even more of it, while the world's most vulnerable people, remain unprotected and denisia is now the epicenter of asia that break with the death toll exceeding 100008 quarter of a 1000000 infections have been recorded in the last week alone. and in japan. as anger as infections rise faster than ever the olympics hosted, he took you his recordings, 5000 debbie casey's for the 1st time. although the prime minister says the games are not to blame. and richardson's in tokyo,

he says pandemic fatigue is setting in amongst the local population. and the numbers are escalating very quickly. outstanding hit a few days ago talking about the fact that daily tases wedding 3000 for the 1st time. now we're up to 5000 and the state of emergency here, and so care has already been extended until the end of the month. that's a significant from a sporting perspective, at least because they were hoping to, to allow fans and spectators in after the start of that event. it's still possible, or they could get them in the final few days because apparently picks runs until september. but it's looking increasingly unlikely and reason carpet 19 figures have been relatively low until this point. a lot of people think is because of their personal sacrifices and nots government policy. the vaccine rollout was slow. the back story there with it in the 1990, the japanese government was found liable for the side effects to 2 other inoculation. so there was a very slow process of approving the vaccine. and then you have the state of emergency, as we've discussed, although it sounds extremely dramatic. it's

a request for people to stay at home and not go to the office. it's a request for restaurants and balls to close early. it's not a law or an order. so with a bit of pandemic fatigue setting, and it's perhaps not surprising that some people are following those rules quite as closely as they might once have done, particularly when that same government is also allowing the olympics to continue. so this line that the organism maintaining that there's no provable link between what's happening within that's quote unquote, by a secure bubble of the lympics in the wider community is increasingly difficult to maintain. well, as we mentioned a little earlier and an easier to seeing a spike in cases, his health system is struggling. jessica washington as more on that aspect of cooper today from jakarta as alarming as that figure of surpassing 100000 sounds. it's only a partial picture of the situation on the ground. some months ago, the indonesian government pledged that it would seek to scale up p c r,

testing and endeavor to test around $400000.00 people each day. and that still has not happened. so the reality is, is that at this point, we cannot be certain how many people died as a result of the virus. in particular, as more deaths have happened at home, what we do know is that 40 percent of that, but the current death toll 40 percent of those people died in july and august alone . we also know that as jests at home has increased, as people were turned away from hospitals, we've seen more cases of multiple deaths within the same family. now, as some local groups, some independent data groups are trying to get a more accurate picture of the scale of the crisis on the ground. and according to some estimates, they put the confirmed dest hole in recent weeks, at around 3 to 5 times higher than the official numbers indicate. now the government is keen to stress that they are seeing signs that the crisis is easing in some cities, in particular in the capital,

but epidemiologist say it is too soon to be optimistic and in fact they are concerned that fall from the situation easing. they are seeing signs that the crisis is spreading into provinces into remote areas with even low rates effects, a nation with low rates of testing and with health care facilities that struggle under normal circumstances. there was chaos and confusion and vaccination. census in the philippines had a tough new restrictions there, a 2 week locked down in the capital city. manila has started following a search in case these earlier thousands of people lined up for jobs, fearing they wouldn't be allowed to leave home for work if not fully vaccinated. officials have since clarified that that is not the case. covered 19 has left thousands of people unemployed and homeless in bangladesh. several charities are struggling to say open despite extended restrictions, country lopez put a gun as more this is one of the few food charities still operating on the

streets of duncan. in a day it will feed more than 2000 people, many unemployed because of covered 19, they include security guard drivers and domestic workers. and among the group, there's also more homeless children. we just put our money and i can tell to the adults that there is no from that. but how can you tell that a little children over the last year and a half kids who come here, they've become our family charities, like, ma'am on kind of depends on donations from bangladesh for shut down because of the pandemic last year there were hundreds of volunteer groups, but corona virus fatigue tested him, and people are now let's willing to donate. not everyone here is without a job that many have seen their earning slashed to little over a dollar a day for money. i'm a poor man for months. i've been suffering the effects of lockdown. there is barely any income why i come here to eat without guilt. as the delta vary and fuels

a surgeon inception, some people have had to leave their jobs and take care of their sick relatives. many businesses, schools and government offices have shut down and hundreds of thousands of people are now unemployed. around 4 and a half 1000000 people in bangladesh work in the textile industry. but cobit 19 has force many factories to close. while the government has allowed some to reopen a full recovery seems a long way off. for workers, there are some hope, but they don't know how long it will last them here we can eat without worrying about the next day. before i knew about this place, i spent 2 days lying inside a hot bus. literally starving, many are left wandering. the streets of the bangladesh, a capital looking charities like the can provide with often the only meal of the day. katya a little bit of the young al jazeera,

the french constitutional court has ruled mandatory code 19 health policies. courts largely comply with the republics funding charter. the pass allowed access to public venues for those who have vaccinated recovered or they have tested negative opponents. it goes against civil liberties. thousands of protested over that issue over the past 2 weekends. at least 20 chatty and troops had been killed during an attack by suspected boca her. i'm fights as it happened in island, in the chat region. booker ram and a rival spencer group had been using the area to launch attacks in chad and neighboring countries. the format chatting precedence injury debbie died in april during fighting against rebels in northern chad. a wildfire that reached the compound of a coal fuel power plants in the southwest of turkey has finally been contained after aging for more than 11 hours. strong winds drove the fire towards the chemical power plant in the province of modular navy landing craft deployed to help

evacuate residence by sea. at least 8 people have been killed in dozens of wildfires across turkey. more than $100.00 wildfires origin across greece, a major fire on the island of area. as for the evacuation of hundreds of people there more than $165.00 fighters of battling the plays more being floating from france and other areas firefighters managed to save archaeological sites from the approaching flames. and a major blaze in the athens has also been put out. now we have correspondence monitoring the situation in turkey and greece in basra, be in athens 1st to wrestle solder in mid last in the south, west of turkey, close to the power plant that was under threat wrestle. so do they feel that they've managed to push back against the flames? yeah, peter, we are in, in, in the village of cameras and mill us where the power plant is. and you can see that behind me,

that is the maximum distance that we can approach. because the security p at the security forces are $100.00 people from getting closer to the power plants, but it is still too risky that has been report of the wildfires in the surrounding areas of the polar plans through the last couple of days. but yesterday, that was at the blames, the blazes came to a very critical distance early in the morning, and then it has been taken under the console. but at afternoon the flames returned back and the firefighters managed to put them also out. but at the nighttime, the, the, towards the wave came and it was the most critical one. because for the 1st time, the fires got into the thermal power plant. so it has been through the heart, a force and work. it has been managed to be pulled out, but there are still many fires nearby and given the current, these, the weather conditions, the strong winds can be carried out into the power the power plan score.

and if that happens, it will not only to the good an explosion, but probably and right a mantle disaster as well. dorothy says that's the bad, but hydrogen parents have been emptied and they have been filled with the water as it precautions. and also all of the stuff have been recreated. also 9 withers or the surrounding areas of the plans have been created as well. now you can hear the helicopters and the water carrying planes are getting the water from the mediterranean sea right over there. and them and put it, dropping it off, and they would have peach and their residential areas close to the power plant and know it is under the control. but it doesn't mean that the danger is far away. it

is actually dangerous steve there, as i said, there are still many fires continue, continue at the surrounding areas and anytime they can take the flames again into the power plant and wrestled briefly, please give us a sense as to why the president is coming under intense scrutiny over his handling of this crisis. well, just recently the government has dissolved the management of turkish owner vehicle association and then there they appointed a board of trustees. the opposition says that it was a political decision and that association has a water warm been fleet. the goal must say that the water won't be in for these are old and technically not able to fly if they try to fly them, they will raise pilots live. that is one of the criticism, but the hope of you just said it is a political decision. on the other hand,

the opposition says that the government acted very much slow in terms of accepting the international aid. also they complained about the lack of the corners. good, they did the quote, the nation as well, and it says that the governments house also is going very much late into the, the, into the that their cry. this area. however, we shall keep in mind that turkey is particularly a very the way the company and biz becomes very much apparent each time when to come to face a nation wide crisis. ok, we'll leave it the rest of the thank you so much. russel said of the report in life, the news from me last zane birth robbie joins us live from athens 8. and what's the situation where you will have to update you on one point? indeed, the fires in the north of athens had been put out, but let me show you where we're at. now we've come back to north of athens and just earlier today, fire's re ignited and from of, from the high ground up here,

you can get a sense of how serious and how bad the situation is. right now. what we're looking at down in that valley, just at the base of the party for mountains. that is the area of very bobby, the town there. korea not. there are 3 active wildfires there that we know of. we actually saw another one bubbling up along the base of the mountain on the way up. another fire that was emerging and starting, those are 3 very active and the government says very dangerous forest fires. they have re ignited on the same day that it was announced, the fires that had been going on for 48 hours had actually been put out. if you look at how high the smoke is rising and how quickly the flames are spreading, when we got up here to set up for this live, it wasn't as bad as it is. now. the smoke is so high up in the air, someone commented that it looked more like a mushroom cloud from a massive explosion than an ash cloud from a fire. and if you look ahead, you can see how close the flames are spreading to major populated areas. we knew the 2 areas had been ordered to be evacuated immediately, but if you look down there, those white houses with the roof that you're seeing in front of you, those are all an area known as korea, natty and

a resident who has joined us up here on the high ground has just said he's come from there, and they've ordered that area evacuated as well. so the circumstances here in the north of athens, very serious, no less serious around the rest of the country. as you said, via major evacuations, ordered there, as well. as in southern greece and the power point is and in multiple areas. and we know that the prime minister is on route to this area to assess the damage for himself. and he will no doubt be holding more emergency meetings with senior leaders in his cabinet to try to come to grips with what is one of the worst was far seasons on record for this country. certainly the worst in, in, in recent years. and it doesn't seem to be getting any better weather predictions or that is going to stay hot and get hotter. the wind is picking up carrying the smoke to parts of the capital. so there are smoke and pollution warnings in place and the fire, the winds, the wind that are picking up and getting stronger, and predicted and forecast to get stronger in coming weeks are literally fanning

the flames of these wildfires. it seems to be getting so bad. there's a, i mean, did it, the greek authorities, they now in a position where they may be going to have to start asking for external help. well, that's exactly what we've been seeing playing out now. the prime minister has greenlit the use of the military to help fight these fires that started from today . we've also seen that the e u is sending help. we've got more firefighting crews coming in from cypress and france. planes that you see flying overhead putting out these fires, they keep making sorties overhead over and over again. that will also include 2 planes coming from sweden to help these water drops. but it really does seem like that's not going to be enough. this is just the beginning of the wild, far season, and it's already so bad. there are fires literally in every direction of this country. and many people here are thinking that if it stays this bad, if it continues to stay this bad, it's only a matter of time until the country declares some kind of national emergency to try

to cope with the ongoing blaze thing. thank you very much. in basra b onto 0 correspondent that report in life from the athens. well newly really.
