to have been brushed in search of my roots analogies, even with the me iran's foreign minister says his focus in the new talks will be on lifting you a sanction to allow her on to export oil freely. ah, hello again. i'm kim all santa maria here in doha with the world news from out of somali as a prime minister, crime fall after the president says he suspended him over allegations of corruption . also we will look at her, ruth, hidden, pat demick, where more than 10000 children have lost

a parent due to corona virus. the south africans are paying tribute to the anti pass aid hero. archbishop desmond tutu, died yesterday hailed as the nation's moral company. ah, so all of those stores to come, but we're going to start with iran, which is insisting that the united states and its allies allow it to export its crude oil. this is as negotiations on restoring the j. c. p. o. the 2015 nuclear deal. continue in vienna, rounds of foreign minister, her saying amira. abdulla him was told journalists that iran's main focus is to lift sanctions and a process that guarantees away for it to export its own oil. has room to move it as

best suited? one of the topics on the agenda for the ongoing nuclear talks is a guarantee and verification of sanctions remove. the most important thing for us is that words and issues should take us to a point where iran's oil is being sold without any barriers. and it's money arise in our bank accounts in the form of foreign currency that we should be able to enjoy full economic concessions that have been defined under the nuclear deal. the map more on the 14th century bowery in vienna with those talk they happen. and also how do you think this statement will be received? because obviously the western powers are always keen to focus almost exclusively on the nuclear issue. well for the radians, the 2 issues are very much intertwined. the reason we are here for the 8th rounds of the nuclear talks is because of course the us left the deal in 2018 and impose a series of sanctions that have crippled their ons economy. and one of those being the sale of a rainy and oil became part of the sanctions as well as the wrong banking sector in

november of 2018. they. then us president trump left the deal and may of 2018. this is what one of the main issues for iran, of course, the ranges were once the 4th largest provider of opec, selling nearly 3000000 barrels of oil per day. now since those sanctions have been put in place, they're selling less than a 1000000 barrels of oil and of course, 50 present. 50 percent of the country's revenue is in budget, comes from oil sales. that is something that has seriously affected the country. and this new negotiating team under president abraham bracy has said that unless the sanctions are listed, there really isn't much to talk about in terms of iran coming back into full compliance under the nuclear deal. and the foreign minister making those comments from to her on today really sets the tone of what the next few days will be likely taking place in the discussion rooms here in vienna dos. or if i heard you correctly, you said 83 of talks on the nuclear issue. what's the expectations for these ones

on how long it might last? what the forecast might be while we're expecting, and really many people are hoping that this will be the final round. of course, there is now a word that there might be a few days break at the end of this week for the new year. so the officials may stay on the renew, some said they will continue to stay vienna as long as needed. but there is really a sense that or even, according to the russian to a part of the negotiator. here at that time is of the essence, these talks cannot go on indefinitely. even the iranians agree to that. there is a sense that this round should be the fund around whether or not that will be the case remains to be seen. but there is, seems to be incentive from all sides that the next few weeks the, these talks will go on until there are some kind of decision made us to whether or not they are able to come to terms. of course, the americans and the iranians, as well as europeans as to whether or not they can go back into full compliance and

revive this nuclear deal of 2015 or whether or not this thing is just done and dusted and they have to move forward. they radians for their part, said that they, even if this nuclear deal is not revived, the country will move on. of course, it's not the end of the world for them. and their compliance with the international atomic energy agency will continue because they're still part of the non proliferation treaty that is not going to change with this nuclear deal. but there is a sense, of course that this deal is very. 2 important not only for iran and 2nd on the future, but also for the stability of the region we've heard from one of the strongest says it's the critics over on nuclear program. that is israel over the past few days. these really officials have said that this deal is not good for the region. they're trying. it's very hard to just miss the iranians position, saying that the americans have to be much more stronger in dealing with iran and their nuclear ambitions. so there is a lot at stake and we'll have to see how this next round goes. just about that,

the iran nuclear talks in vienna. thank you. dosa, on to other news of the day. so molly, as prime minister mohammed his st. robles as his suspension is a violation of the constitution and of the country's laws. the house is report and he been surrounded by military and presidential gods. president abella farmer, job signed, lived. the prime minister gives me an allegation of corruption and abuse of power. somalia, assistant information minister as the case, the president of staging and indirect qu, will a prime minister president, have been buying each other for delays in the national election? well, you see what some only people agreed yesterday is the election, and it's the only solution that will lead some, all the people to peace and prosperity. i asked god to give peace to somali people and the country. partially, the somali president was responsible for what happened when he made the extension. he named molly apartment after to lead the election. but the somali president with the election purchase every day and whatever happens in this country to somali

president will be responsible for a lot more on this with matt bryan, who is a strategic advisor for the son research a think tank, focusing on politics and security in the one of africa, the president's constitutional mandate expired in february, and he stayed on and tried a very similar power grab in april this year, which led to fighting in the streets of mogadishu and, and would have it probably concluded in his overthrow. if a deal hadn't been negotiated to produce elections for parliament and president by the end of this year, at that agreement for elections expired these for the parliamentary elections expired today, the prime minister was planning to convene a national conference today to charge the wave forward and now the president has once again intervened and has created a situation of real uncertainty endanger the hold up is that the electoral model

that used to pertain in somalia, which was quite straightforward, it's been used before, was modified at the insistence of the incoming president with a number of changes that favored his incumbency and probably his re election. and the entire process now has come down almost to one of cherry picking where seat by seed. we are seeing rigging, we are seeing appointees, of the president intelligence officers from the national security service being essentially given seats. and these are the people who would choose the next, the next president at least 4000 villages in me. and now i have fled to neighboring thailand is fighting between government and ethnic her enforce intensifies. its violence was triggered by a military raid in lake core in the east last week. that town is controlled by the

current minority who greater autonomy from the central government. tony cheng reporting now from the border city of my thought in thailand, we arrived in this area which is about 10 kilometers are further down the more river from minnesota. or on the way we saw an attack helicopter parade patrolling along the border. and we got out of the van, and there was the sound of gunfire. immediately. small arms fire, automatic gunfire. small percussive bangs that appear to be from mortars and louder bangs, that are, that must be from heavier artillery. it, there's a slight lull at the moment word. so we were just speaking to the time military who are patrolling nearby. they said that sir, there have been some hits on this side of the border. they've also fired warning shots across to the other side to try and stop at any one coming over here. but clearly the situation is very fluid. we've also just seen

a group of villages from across the river on the mere ma side coming across. they say it's very unsafe over there, as we understand it. at the moment, there are various different groups belonging to the correct ethnic armed groups fighting against the myanmar military and the myanmar border force. one of the reasons they're fighting here is because the river is shallow. it's very easy to cross. at the moment, no one's out there. the locals on this side staying well within the boundaries of their houses, at the situation remains very tense. some thoughts now from debbie start out, who is the founder and coordinator of alt c, an burma, a network of assy, an organization supporting human rights and democracy in mean mar. and she says the international treat any needs to intervene. to stop the situation getting worse. it's very clear that the legal military junta woman, myanmar opposes in me imminent threat to human security in the entire region with

thailand being the front line. and i think it's time for tylen and the rest of the international community to mount a multinational humanitarian of exit on the tiber. nice border to prevent the situation from getting out of hand to ensure their civilian protection for the refugees on the burn me side of the border. and for ty residents on the high side, you need some progress earlier this year by denying invitation. so representation from the illegal who at to summit in october, november the head of the cambodian authorities, who in thin is the, is planning to call me on my as a chair, i see on january the january the 7th. so this potentially could undermine any minor progress made by at the end of this year. and 2022 is going to look terrible for both burma and unless of the individual states start to team up with the

rest of the international community to get of coherent and concrete response. not just the civilian protection in burma, miasma, but also protection of people in the rest of the region. because the out the out, the, the fall out from this escalating violence. it has very serious implications on regional security in the years to come south africa observing a week of national mourning for the anti apartheid icon and nobel peace prize, laureate desmond to people paying tribute to them any rose to prominence in the 1980s as an opponent of apartheid during watchman, or he rule even want to nobel peace prize for his work. and was the 1st black archbishop of cape town for me to mila. as more from the so far, we know that the funeral will be held at saint george's cathedral on saturday from about 10 a. m local time. but ahead of that to the body of the archbishop desmond to to will

lay in states on friday. and during the course of this week, were expecting to see a number of memorial services across the country, including one in cape town where the city has described the archbishop as its greatest residence. in fact, there will be an interfaith ceremony on wednesday, which i think also speaks to how the archbishop has and was viewed in terms of inclusivity and also being progressive even within the, his foundation within the anglican church. so we are expecting people to come out on wednesday onwards. the cities also paying tribute to the archbishop by lighting the famous table mountain purple in the city all as well. and we've seen a number of people come out to the saint george's cathedral through the course of the morning laying flowers and paying tribute to the, to the archbishop. it was very important for him to always deal with social and economic injustices,

as well as in quality equality. and specifically in south africa. he also spoke out against the african national congress, the governing part in south africa. and going as far as in 2016 said, you'd no longer vote for the a and c because they weren't doing enough to deal with economic problems in south africa, poverty and corruption. so this is not somebody who held his tongue in terms of stating what he believed was right. the world weather's coming up next, and then we'll catch up today on corona virus, looking at whether the u. k. might imposed strict restrictions after more than a $122000.00 cases were reported on friday. ah, look forward to brighter scully's, the winter sponsored by kettle airways. hello, thank you for joining an here's your weather story for asia. we are going to begin with

a snowy scene in western japan. the cities got $73.00 centimeters of snow on the ground. that is the most, since records have been kept here in more than a 120 years. that snow is starting to wind down across so much of japan. i mean, we did have blizzard conditions here. still some low temperatures to be found, but across korea, those steps are, is a popped up same in beijing as well, with a height of 5 degrees, which is above average cooler, really, for a large part of 5 central i, china. temperature is running below average in shanghai, and same goes for hong kong with the hive. 17 degrees on tuesday, lot of rain come natur for central vietnam, thanks to the northeast monsoon, about 50 millimeters to be expected over the next 24 hours. now, per se, stager, we are still seeing some thunder storms pop up here. so singapore, the risk of it same goes for jakarta, but some sunny spells and call them pour with a height of $33.00 on tuesday, added season. brain is dancing in from pakistan toward the north west of india and

were starting to see this jug further toward the east, but there is the risk of seen some thunderstorms here and even some hail in the forecast for you on tuesday. okay, that's it for me. see you soon. for the weather, sponsored by katara always live in the far reaches of the new siberian islands. gold rush, fever is in the air, hunters searching for priceless woolly mammoth tusks of honor the holy grail. an incredible journey into the realms of science fiction, where cloning and synthetic biology have scientists playing god. witness genesis 2 point. oh, the hunt for the woolly mammoth on out to sierra. ah,

the me on i'll just say with these at the top stories, south africa, they're having a week of morning for the nobel peace prize. laurie it doesn't to 2. and then he rose to prominence in the 980, as an opponent of a part 8 during white men, or he will with 90 of iran since this thing the u. s. and that, that lies allow it to export crude oil as negotiations on restoring the 2015 nuclear deal take place in vienna. ron's foreign minister told reporters teheran will be pushing for this during the latest round of talk. somebody as president abdullah marshall says he is suspended the prime minister on allegations of corruption from hamlet who's saying robles had to move to the violation of the constitution. now, i'll just say arabic correspondence, almost my mood alley has more on this political crisis. he's in mogadishu, fema,

what's happening here is related to the president's decision to freeze the prime minister's powers. on the pretext that he failed in always seeing the electoral process besides some corruption allegations. and it's what the prime minister denied. the prime minister described the president's decision is none constitutional was going to continue his duties as usual from stressing that the president doesn't have the power to sack him or freeze his powers due to the fact that his term has come to an end. and that he, as the prime minister, is the only one who has been mandated by the tamales and international community to oversee the election and peaceful transition that's supposed to follow one, then the election of a new president. anyways, the situation is so molly ru 10 until the moment. there are no efforts exerted by political factions, international community to bridge the gaps and reach a final agreement between the somalis, especially between the president,

whose turn came to an end in february 2021. in the prime minister, who had been mandated by the international community and the political factions to supervise the fort coming election. little bit of breaking news coming out of iraq where the supreme court has rejected a case which had been filed by opposition parties contesting the results of october's election. supporters of the iran back to she had groups appealed against the electoral commission after suffering heavy losses in those elections. the cleric methodical thought of movement on the most seats more with mach made up. the why had and bank that now would take us through what this court decision actually means for the parties and for the rocky people will the court to that has been just passed of by the supreme court means that the appeals that were submitted by the iranian backed political parties to another,

the parliamentary election results have been rejected. in fact, the court says that it is not entitled to a judge in this player and it has at he turn it them to the edge addition to the judicial panel at the electoral. a commission now, as you know, that have been that have been a lot of procedures over the past months or so from there are opposing political parties. those are the parties that last many seats in the, in the elections. and they have been trying to err, present, legal, or evidence. they have been trying to convince the court to a null that the lecture is. it's all to order the electoral commission to hold a recount of all the lectures. but now, since the federal court has just passed, a judgement is not in favor of those are political, the protest though,

as you know, they the political, but the have supporters on the ground, they have been occupying areas near to the about the dad's heavily fortified green zone for over 2 months at now. in fact, those supporters, they are set a fire at this, at tires on fire at this morning, and they were chanting air in there this morning. again, is it the electoral commission are demanding a recount of all the votes, but now this, it whether or not this means a final endorsement of the election results up. this remains to be seen because there are still chairman of the supreme court today. mentioned that there appears that have been submitted by the opposing political but is probably it even if they have legal standing, but they have to be returned to the judicial panel at the electoral commission went

up the wind with that update from baghdad. thank you. mm. okay, covered news and starting in the u. k, where the prime minister birth johnson's facing pressure to impose stricter restrictions after more than 122000 cases were reported on friday, where we challenges in london to take us through this. and i guess it's important always to remind our international audience where we, when we talk about a lack of restrictions, we're talking about england and weight, which is 80 percent of the u. k. population. yeah, they all have the different ways of making decisions and scotlands wales and northern not and have their own devolved parliaments which are responsible at the moment when making those health health decisions that result in lockdown or otherwise england doesn't have that kind of devolved parliament. it is governed by boris johnson's government, based out at westminster, right?

when governments where the others a more left wing leaning and so far as johnson's parliamentary policy, his cabinets politically opposed. i think you can safely say to lockdown left, absolutely necessary, and that's what bar johnson is going to be trying to work counts at the moment. he's going to be getting the latest figures on infections, hospitalizations, etc. hasn't had any for 2 days over the to day christmas holidays. i would say that the likelihood of a new round of lockdown measures restrictions in england is receiving. i haven't disappeared, but it's receiving because i think his cabinet and his, his parliamentary party are feeding vindicated by the latest data that's coming out on, on the chrome, which suggests that it is less severe. although it's much more infections. delta

suggest that it's less severe. so if the view in the conservative parliamentary party and the cabinet is that it's, these are what they perceive is overly gloomy over the powerful government. scientists that, that a calling the shots, they don't like that. they think the people should be left to make up their own decisions rather than the government having decisions, forcing forcing decisions upon the company, the country. what sort of other protections and restrictions have been brought in? i'm talking in the other in the other countries, scotland, wales and northern ireland just to get an indication well essentially all of them are moving in some way and have done. i think that the, and one of the countries is being brought in over a 2 day period. but essentially they all moving towards more limitations on big events, more limitations on social mingling and, and trying to bring in kind of

a few measures. now each country has its own individual peculiarities and different ways of doing that. but that is essentially what they're trying to do that like they did before, like england did before as well. trying to limit social mingling, try to limit social contact, shopping various businesses, office certain times curfews, that kind of thing. that's the kind of measures they don't not full locked down like we have for a like to touch to try and bring on the com on the control. thank you. re challenz in london, but that update to australia with the most populous state. new south wales is recorded its 1st death linked to the on the chrome bearings testing science around australia. been overwhelmed. managers of a hospital and sidney also apologized after incorrect test results were sent to nearly a 1000 people. that's after another major laboratory mistakenly told 400 people who were infected with the virus that they had actually tested negative. and now peru where current of ours deaths have left at least $10000.00 children without one or

both of their parents. but ascribing this as a hidden pandemic in peru, it's left many poor families without their bread winner, marianna sanchez has our report. now from lena when and when it's of, i just lost her 34 year old husband to coven 19 last year. she had to move into a small room at her in love with her 3 children and all her belongings. now she works nearly 12 hours per day, 7 days a week, a 16 year old son looks after the smaller ones. jo, are they gonna think of? and i usually make $10.00 per day, but sometimes there is no work. and sometimes i only make $7.00 in a day. gone hardly enough for food and medicine. she says their life turned upside down. like for most poor families who have lost their bread winner to the pandemic . more than 200000 peruvians have died of corona virus. b 2 has the highest per

capita death rate in the world. official government figures put the number of children who have lost one or both parents to the deceased and about 10000. but the lancet medical journal says, one of every 100 miners has lost a care giver. a total of more than $99000.00 children affected locally and i have families added to the shop they already have because of the confinement they like face to face glasses. they have stress and anxiety. it's a critical situation and one in april, the government rolled out a grant plan is nearly $50.00 for each child, but families have to apply online. and for many that has proven difficult about her young aberdeen. everything is virtual 1st. they told me the information was missing, then that it had already been paid. i feel like they're lying to me by my family thought. the government says by june, only 3000 children were receiving the pension silva not only sees the sadness of having lost the parent most are poor and it is unlikely they will receive

psychological help to overcome what for many has been a traumatic experience. and when it says that eden suleima constantly cry, but i me of you them want your condo. it's been so shocking. i never imagined losing my husband. and especially shocking for my children. my daughter christ calling out for her dad, my little son cries in the sleep cove. it analysts say it is still early to understand the scope of the problem and dawn right now. and we are facing an incredible challenge that we do not seem prepared to assume. we are a country in morning and we are talking about a whole generation marked by the loss of their parents. it's yet another great challenge paused by the coven 19 pandemic. the united nations children's agency. unicef says that while the majority of children may not get physically ill from the disease, their lives will forever be affected by the ana sanchez. i'll just see dad, lima beetle and iran has banned the entry of travellers from several european

countries as part of measures to curb the spread of micron people flying from britain, france, denmark and norway won't be allowed into the country for the next 15 days. a similar ban imposed in november on travellers from 8 african countries has also been extended around reported just 14 confirmed on con cases. but there is a fear of a rapid spread in the coming weeks. officials in the philippines. the say it could take until february until power is fully restored to areas devastated by typing right. these 378 people died when the powerful storm slammed into central and southern regions last week. rescue say at least 60 people are missing and about a 119 cities remain without electricity. an extreme cold warning issued for much of western canada. a number of cities are reporting record low temperatures, the coldest hitting minus 50 degrees celsius. weather officials expect the

extreme conditions to last for several days. this may now finally the superhero film, spider man, no way home, is taken in more than a $1000000000.00 in ticket sales globally. this is the 1st pandemic era movie to reach that milestone. and it's just a few days ago, the highest grossing movie of 2021. the film industry has been hit hard by pandemic restrictions losing around $30000000000.00 in revenue in 2020, in the united states to learn. ah, it's help wants the are on al jazeera and these are the headlines. iran is insisting the u. s. and its allies allow it to export its crude oil. as negotiations on restoring the 2015 nuclear deal take place in vienna. iran's foreign minister told reporters teheran will be pushing for this during the latest round of talks is more from dos jabari in vienna for the radio.
