coffee 19 has been terrible demonstration of the failure of humans, so that we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on al jazeera. ah, ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello and welcome. i'm pete adobe. you're watching the news, our life from coming up in the next 60 minutes from russia is military build up near ukraine to threat solve or for a tarion ism from china? g 7 foreign ministers meets in liverpool to discuss urgent issues. serious negotiations. the iranian president says his country is fully behind the latest round of talks to revive the 2050 nuclear deal. as long as sanctions are removed,

climbing death toll and mounting destruction a series of tornadoes. slam 5 states across the us. also the showcase of caribbean, pretty sharp, gives the community a chance to tell a story and to celebrate its culture. and on far as small with the sports news lie from our feet. era studio all have action from the tournaments as tapped, our book, their spots in the semi final and also coming up australia, as cricketers, claim a crushing victory over england in brisbin to win the opening ashes passed. ah, the british foreign secretary has called for western unity against authoritarianism and threats from russia and china. the case hosting foreign ministers from the world's wealthiest democracies in the city of liverpool,

delegates from the g 7 are also being joined by ministers from the assay and nations. they're expected to discuss the range of global issues from cooper, 19 vaccines, and post pandemic economic recovery to the build up of russian forces on the border with ukraine. the g 7 countries as the world's leading democracies and economies need to come together to advance the front is freedom. we need to show a positive, proactive approach and making ourselves safer, more competitive, better able to stand up for the values. we believe it. we need to defend ourselves against the growing threats from hostile actors. and we need to come together strongly to stand up to aggressors who are seeking to limit the bounds of freedom and democracy. or a challenge is correspondent who's there in liverpool. so rory,

standing up to aggressive sounds fine on paper, but that the reality is quite different usually. what are the big issues there for the g 7? well, the big issues of course, corvettes, any, some a tree that's taken place. so you the last 80900 month was i? who's done with the living shadow of cove. it, i've written this g 7 foreign ministers meeting is different and factors probably more. so because of the spread of alma kron that variance going fast to many countries around the world in the u. k, is expected to be the dominant strain as covert 19 within a week. your sites. now, there are the threats, of course, we just had less trust that with her rallying coal for like my donations to stand off a sheet, but it's a global aggressive now in the bilateral meetings trotter meetings, group meetings, there is one common thread that's coming through on this and that is russia, it's all of the whole of the meetings seem to address brush or in some way or other,

but typically what's going on on the cranial border and the fair amongst many of the countries gathering here that russia might perhaps choose to launch some sort of invasion into ukraine in coming weeks and months. now the perspective here is the bass has to be resisted that, that has to be support or ukraine. and that, that has to be unified front to as this trust. but it make sure that if there is any action from russia on that, on that kind of scale, that it is made to be a russian strategic mistake. of course, there is not always unity on these kinds of things. you have countries like germany which, you know, yes, it obviously opposes russian military action. but it is also doing a deal with russia to bring lots of cheap gas into the continent. north stream to that is a bone of contention. but the kind of the, the military ambitions or otherwise a rush at the moment, definitely hot topic. she's also been signaling love. and clearly what she thinks,

where she thinks the world, the circle free world has gone wrong. does this mean that as the host of this g 70 u. k, is looking for a more collegiate robust attitude towards the countries that are not in the g 7? yeah, i think so suddenly when it comes to russia and china that holds true. and i think that lives trust sees herself as a bit of an ass or margaret thatcher, perhaps a success to margaret thatcher. she's certainly borrowing a lot of margaret thatcher rhetoric when it comes to talking about the free world and how it should stand up to talk receives repressive countries in other parts of the globe. and trust believes already, she says that the western world has been drifting and recent years is taken. it's off the ball, it's reduced military spending. it's been navel gazing,

looking at arguments over its own history, imperialism, things like that, that she says should be left in the past. it should be a more positive, more patrick, don't say, outlook. and that's what she's hoping to to spread to other countries in the, in the g 7. now he's the g 7. really her audience for that? well, you could say yes because that's what she said to talk about box barriers. so there is also a perspective that she clearly has leadership ambitions within hierarchy. and part of the conservative party, which has a leadership crisis at the bar, johnson magazine, the post scandal off the self in the scandal, many a seamless trust is perhaps a future leader of the conservative party. she could be speaking as much conservative party members as she is actually speaking to the delegates here. rory, thanks very much. i really challenge the correspondence in the city of liverpool press and abraham bracy says iran is serious about the latest round of negotiations

to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. and if well, powers are willing to remove sanctions. an agreement can be reached. state tv reported those comments as talks continued for another day in vienna, dosage of bodies in vienna, where she conducted a sit down with the head of the international atomic energy agency. while it was a wide ranging discussion, we specifically talks about the role of the i e a. but then we of course, talked about the j. c, p o, a and ref grossi was very much adamant that it is a deal that is very, very important. and critical for their work. they are not involved in the politics of this nuclear deal. they just want to verify what has been agreed to. he also talks about the issues that remain with iran. he admitted that iran is one of the, the country that has the most inspections of his nuclear program in the world. but despite that, he said there are still issues that they are discussing with iran. and that is

a cause for concern for the i. e. a and this is what he had to say about that specific those issues the ages he and iran are trying to come to an agreement on basically 2 things. one is the capability or the ability of the agency to return to one facility, one specific facility in iran, where we need to reinstall cameras that need to be there. and it has been difficult to this. so we have been talking about these. and the other thing is how to address a number of issues which need to be clarified. the agency found traces of nuclear material in places that had not been declared before they facility he's talking about. there is cat shuts out just outside of her on it's a workshop that produces centrifuges for wrong nuclear program. and the reason said that if the i e a had 4 cameras in that facility. and in june,

there was an act of sabotage which destroyed one of those cameras and they blame israel for that. they said at that time that they are going to take all 4 cameras offline until there is a new investigation. and there is some kind of a statement issued by the united nations and the idea until that happens, the revenues are not willing to open up. again, inspections to that workshop. and the director general mentioned that this is one of the points of contention because they cannot determine what is happening in iran nuclear program. if they don't know where the central features are going and how many are actually be made. and you can see doses will interview with the i e, a chief raphael garcia on top 12 to sierra at 830 as g m t on sunday. and then again via the website. lots more grounds still to cover human usa for you, including a joint operation with uganda and forces strs unease among locals. in d r. c. we look at why some groups in one south african province of pushing for

independence. and sport kat are give their fans more reason to believe that they can be successful. that next year's will come foot election coming up later. here on the news on ah local elections getting underway to day in the occupied west bank with around 400000 palestinians eligible to vote that the 1st poles in 2 years. but the leaders of fatter and hamas remain at odds of a went to hold the next general election. the last one was 15 years ago. neither abraham reports not from al mattress. al julia near ramallah in the occupied westbank. local council. elections has been usually held on time relatively every 4 years. we have local council elections in different cities and villages all across the occupied to us bank. but what palestinians say they want is general elections.

they want to be able to choose the political leaders. the representative is with this team years. this boston is of last voted for parliament that has since became an active after the internal split between us and her mass. enjoining me here to talk more about those elections. is dr. settle called the be the political science professor at the university doctor. we are holding these municipal elections. now, how political are they? they're not mainly political motives for choosing candidates, not political affiliation, mainly it has to do with so many f in the ation. it has to do with a reputation of the candidate. that's why it's results are not indicators on any political balance of power. but it's a reminder for palestinians that they haven't voted for general elections. do you see us getting any closer to that?

it is good, but it's not good enough. it for issues and needs related to services of municipalities. but it does not serve the fact that we do not have. we did not have political elections neither for the be a lot of situations nor the for the institutions for more than 13 or 14 years. this election reminds us of the need for political interaction. that's for the city people badly in need off. what do you think the main issues that passed indians want? why would they want to vote in general election? they want to renew the political leadership. they want to have more participation in the political system through election. they want to hold the political elite accountable for whatever successes or failures they have in the

last period. and more important, they want to bridge the gap between the public and the political elite in general. thank you so much. and past indians were so close at having those general elections, but palestinian president blackmore that bass has postponed them 6 months ago. and this is part of the reason why ham asked us mercado these municipal elections. they say they want these long delayed general and presidential elections, health, uganda and kimberly's armies say they're making progress in their joint operation against the allied democratic forces in eastern d r. c. they say they've destroyed for camps belonging to the group captured 34 fighters and fried 31 congress hostages for people on the ground. there is hope, but also remaining on ease about this partnership is malcom web. over the last 10 days, the people of this small board of town in democratic republic of congo have seen

thousands of camden troops crossing you can, as army says it in congo to hunt down an armed group called the allied democratic forces. atf, which is blamed for killing thousands of civilians in this area over the last 7 years. you got the army has been accused of meddling and looting minerals in congo several times since it 1st invaded 25 years ago. i mean, to be honest, we did not celebrate the arrival of began to troops crossing a border, but we hope they can help deal with the insecurity that we've been facing for a long time. the adf fight as a hiding out in forest to the guns and tanks and armored vehicles have struggled to advance on the muddy roads. so they brought in greatest repair them. uganda and major general clans, him hunger is commanding. the operation come, we the only we want is you don't have machines to look for boy, do we don't have

a machine. is the route for day one is we don't have machine is cut by the only thing we have is our gun fight radio. you can the government claims the adf for 3 suicide bomb explosions in the capital can parlor last month. the adf is reasonably from uganda, but his fighters had been hiding in the forests of congo for more than 20 years. you can then operation is the latest in a series of failed attempts to defeat the armed group. since some of the roads of impossible ugandan commanders have to walk to meet that con release counterparts, they say it's a joint military operation component of component. good news. so more commonly, as people need to understand that we're facing a situation of terrorism in which we must unite our forces with others. adf is part of an international terrorist movement. some of their tax are claimed by isolated in the presence of fighters from different countries,

like you conduct somalia and townsend, he confirms this and the investigators said the adf has been in contact with iso and other regional armed groups. the extent of any collaboration isn't clear about the adf, political and business. interesting, congo, i'm, you can the have been more apparent including cocoa and tim, the export, congolese soldiers, repairing the waves to this is the start of what you can. the uncle knows army say, will be the end of the adf. everyone is tried before, has failed. malcolm web out, his era. the president of burkina faso has named a geophysicist as the new prime minister last seen as or bo will replace joseph marie de body who was dismissed on wednesday after protest calling for his resignation. the country has in a surge and violence by armed groups that kill thousands of people. flooding in san sudan has effected 70 percent of the northern state of unity. the u. s. head of

the liberals. i looked a bit of those who are in bed wetting environment outside the with your income. the forum has thousands of members who support a call for the western cape to secede from south africa. the province has the 2nd largest economy in the country, though supporting an independent cape say, a corrupt, national government is draining its resources to aid poor provinces. so effectively, the people of the western cape never get the democratic will always excluded from the system and never get the government they vote for and, and the consequences of that are all quite significant because the so africa is being badly managed and, and running to the ground the people of the western cape are then suffering the consequences of government. they didn't elect, i'd want, they can remove the ballot box. south africa's made up of 9 provinces. 8 of them are governed by the african national congress. the opposition party, the democratic alliance has run the western cape since 1999. all the parties not

supported the call for secession. it has pushed for a federal system. the cape independence part. he says. recent poll suggests 58 percent of western cape voters, support the move for cape independence. but that fick has been disputed. those opposed to the ideas, say it's racially motivated and discriminates against the largely mixed race and black, often poorer communities in a province with a more prosperous white minority. i cannot support anything which seeks to create a false thought with the beneficiaries of a part that will still own the land. and old believers. are we going on of economic council? can't be allowed to happen. these people are seeking to do things a, i'm also a be observing slave race. i'm not asleep. i cannot support a goal. sufficient is a very good idea, but not, not in terms of defense of using cape john, the capital of the western cape. as great economic disparities often defined by race. critics say the chances of decision a low, many of you,

the calls are sufficient by those living in the western cape has little merits and will go nowhere and that it lacks constitutional backing. but this isn't the 1st time they've been pulled from. groups of people for their own nation states was in south africa. and rather than being viewed as wishful thinking, it means they'd be an expression of anger against the governing african national congress retailer also is there a south africa u. k. has granted 23 licensees to french fishermen allowing them to operate in british waters. the announcement came off to the friday deadline passed for london to approve more licenses and resolve a long running post breaks that dispute with france. about fishing rights, paris was waiting for nearly $100.00 permit for its fishermen. the case as wanted to ensure the vessels qualified to work in its waters. hundreds people have been evacuated from their homes after heavy flooding in the french ponies region residence in the south, west defronzo being able to stay at home as flood waters continued to rise. many

ah, welcome back. you're watching the answers here and use our little bit earlier than scheduled. here are your headlines one more time g, 7 foreign ministers, a catherine livable in the u. k. along with delegates from the assay and nations, the u. k. foreign secretary has called for western unity against authoritarianism and threats from russia and china. dozens of people have been killed and several others were injured. after tornadoes, tor through parts of the central united states emergency crews are still trying to rescue a large number of people who are still trapped and talks to revive the 2015 iran nuclear dealer. continuing for another day, it vienna, according to state tv, the iranian president, abraham bracy says, here on is serious about the negotiations and of world powers, a willing to remove sanctions. an agreement can be reached. let's talk now to

muhammad mirandi. he's an advisor to iran's delegation. he's joining us at life from vienna mohammed mirandi. do all the sanctions have to go or is there are a parcel of less than all the sanctions that turan would accept. i think it's pretty clear that if the europeans and americans expect the route to go back to 2015, then they also have to go back that 2015 as well. the problem is that the europeans and americans are always looking for some sort of appeasement. the whole maximum pressure campaign, which targeted women and children in iran was to force iran to give concessions on the nuclear program. and the rhine is never a p is trump. so why in the world would they appease brought biden, who has so many more problems that divisions in the united states, their economic problems, the rising confrontation with russia and china over ukraine and taiwan. and of

course us allies in the region, not being in the best of condition as we speak. so taking those into consideration, the right hands are saying that the smart thing for the united states would be to abide by its commitments, stop trying to get extra concessions, and to do what it has promised to do in 2015. the settle position on the part of the iranians there in vienna seems to be this. they seem to believe that the e u representatives are more flexible than their united states colleagues. does iran expect b e u delegates in effect? i guess what i'm saying here is this to pressure the united states to go with a deal that slightly less perhaps than the us would like. but it might be something the us can live with if only because failure at this stage in the game is

unimaginable for both sides. well, no one wants failure, but the iranians will accept nothing. then the full and verifiable employ implementation of the deal, and the writing. se verification is very important because last time around all of the iranian actions were verified in 2015 by the international atomic energy agency . but none of the american, the european actions were verified and the americans under obama, intentionally failed to implement the deal. the united cheated iran in 2015 the 16 . and then trump, of course, that the deal. so this time around the run into saying full implementation plus verification, the europeans do seem to be more flexible. i don't know if that there is a gap between the europeans and americans. i have no knowledge of that. but the europeans, when the iranians gave to new tax to add to the previous text,

the europeans were unhappy about it. then they laughed for their capitals. when they returned, they agreed to include them in the negotiations. of course they try to frame it in a particular way saying that we all agreed to focus to, to keep the previous or tax or the previous drafts and work on those. but that's not, that doesn't violate what iran says. he right. never said that it doesn't accept the previous draft. iran says the current, the new tax plus the old draft together must be discussed so that we can have full implementation. so here is where there was a slight shift among the europeans and probably the americans as well. okay, where they're basically saying that we're going to accept negotiating and discussing the iranian concerns. okay, but but respectfully, mr. miranda connecticut to back up by about 60 seconds or so. you're talking there about the last time there was a verification process in 2015. iran's critics might say they are being

disingenuous with the use or the technique of verification because yes we've just played, i don't know if you heard it. we just played a son bite from the i. e r r i a e. a is mr. grossi and i was talking about very verification, but he was saying some of the nuclear materials were verified as being in the wrong place, or not being in the place that they were supposed to be in when that particular round of the verification process kicked off. so i'm not saying that the tehran government was doing anything illegal. i'm not saying it was doing anything overly ambitious with its nuclear resources, but it was, it's critics might argue, working against the spirit of the 2015 j. c. p. o. a. well a likely me said about the role that the i 8 plays.
