election, se they will continue protesting here, occupying areas nearby. that's heavily fortified. green's own, until their demands are met. they say that the supreme court has admitted that there have been mistakes that have been irregularities in the electoral process that could have led to vote rigging. and they say that they belong to an umbrella of our political blocks and political parties. and then they go by their decisions. on the other hand, there have been talks between rival political parties, other than the legal path. there have been negotiations to reach a consensus in regard to forming the, the upcoming parliament and the upcoming government. according to iraq's constitution, the 1st parliamentary session should be convened. ah, within 15 days,

from the day the supreme court endorses the parliamentary elections razzles that have been talks between the rival factions that have been of negotiations to reach a consensus on are the prime minister, the new prime minister on naming the new speaker of the parliament if they reach a consensus on that, then these protesters may leave this area. if not, then escalation might happen. i understand the director of the house of iraqi expertise foundation thinktank. he says the supreme court's ruling is a sign that political sides in iraq will reach an agreement soon. everyone knows that the supreme court constitutionally cannot reject anything can ought to reject the results,

just only can certify or not simplified. this is the main issue, then that's what the superior court actually decision aware to clear today. now the most important things that, what is the next step, which i think it's, it's now clear that there is some sort of a deal happen that pushed the superior court to make the, the, the judgement to make the decision, to make the verdict in a way to reach it to make the political process reach on that age, which means that to more or maybe tonight going to be a real negotiations on 2 main issues. number one, who will be the biggest block inside the parliament and number 2, what are the candidate who have the candidates for the prime minister? because you know, in the iraq political system, a political process at the most important thing is that who's going to be the prime

minister? and i think there's the most important things that the deal will focus on who will be, who will be driving the 8th round of talk survive. iran 2015 nuclear deal with world powers is getting underway in vienna. iran for a minister, one guarantees that us sanctions will be lifted on iranian oil sales. he says it's the most important issue for to run fears or growing that time is running out to salvage. the deal 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. they won't get upset from us tomorrow. joining us from vienna, we understand the talks have now commenced or so. so just talk us through the sort

of the state of play and how will that statement by the foreign minister be received at the talks? well, this statement made by hussein i'm here at the law here in toronto earlier on monday . we'll certainly set the tone for what the rain is expect to be discussed over the next few days. is a round, is already being called by many here as presumably the final rounds are they're hoping that stays negotiations which will continue later into january. they will we, they will be some kind of a resolution for the radians. it's very clear the sanctions have to be address 1st . that means they want to be able to sell their oil on the international markets and they haven't been able to do that since november of 2018. that is because iran was once the opec's, 4th largest producer of oil, they were producing nearly $3000000.00 barrels of oil per day. and since the us sections came into place, they haven't been able to sell nearly as much on of course,

their banking sector has also been sanctioned by the american government. this is what iran wants immediately to be remedied alongside other issues and other sanctions that have under iran has been placed on the wrong since the us left the deal and the renews the also one compensation. they also want the funds that they haven't had access to for selling their oil to the 6 countries which were receiving special waivers because they were so heavily reliant on rating oil. they couldn't take part in that sanctions program wanted for the united states. so they issued the way worth so all of that is very technical and very important for iran. and the team that here arrived on monday, early monday morning, led by the deputy foreign minister, alibaba connie. they have said that the sanctions and the sanctions relief and some kind of a guarantee that this will not happen again is what they're looking for by the american government. and of course the europeans have had a role as well. they're hoping that the europeans will be able to keep up their end of the deal under the nuclear agreement of 2015. so you're saying this is the 8th

round of talk. i mean, how, how long do we expect this around to, los than just, what are we expecting? well, if, according to many of the parties here, they're hoping this is the final round. their russians are calling it. presumably the final rounds. we understand they'll be a few days break at the end of this week for the new year, and then they'll resume on monday next week. but for the rent, they said they'll stay as long as needed, that they want to have some kind of a resolution as well. but time for them is not an issue. the writing president abraham, right, you see has already presented his government's budget for next year. and part of that budget does not include the sale, the sale of iranian oil as they had in the past. his policies very much now to lean towards the east and russia and china. but they are still adamant that they want the nuclear deal to succeed. and the iranian negotiating team that's here of said

that they're not willing to budge, they're going to strengthen their position as much as they can, and they're going to get everything that's over to them. so there is a sense of time is of the essence of these talks cannot go on indefinitely. so many are hoping this will be the final round. thank you so much source of our reporting from vienna, from i as prime minister mohammed has. and robert has ordered military forces to take orders directly from him, after president of della for modules suspended him on allegations of corruption and abuse of power. both have traded accusations about delaying the elections. ernest smith, as more somali as president says, the prime minister is suspected of corruption and is now suspend mohammed of the law. mohammed accuses mohammed robel of stealing land owned by the army. the prime minister says the move in direct q shaka, so mighty yet i would like to clarify to some of the people that the government in transition or faith is responsible for leading the country and running the affairs

work together. our white house correspondent kimberly hallett has more from washington d. c. foreseeing records being broken for 7 day highs in new york, delaware, hawaii, massachusetts, puerto rico, new jersey. i and other states as well, and this is of great concern to public health officials because what this means is there's a strain on hospitals. and what we're seeing in some states is a record number of hospitalizations for children, particularly the age group of under 5 who are not eligible for vaccinations in the united states. and so the concern is where this is headed, because we're in the midst of a holiday period. many people gathering to celebrate just celebrated christmas looking forward to the new year. and we're already seeing these spikes as a result of the american thanksgiving holiday in late november, so that the fear is that this will get worse before it gets better. we've already seen how this is wreaking havoc on the travel industry,

accordingly. rather than have the government impose decisions on them and his back benches and his cabinet, i think probably fitting vindicated at the moment by the new data that's coming out of various studies around the world. which suggests that all micron is a variance is less severe. it's of obviously much more infectious and delta, but it seems to be less severe and that means that they are saying, okay, well, we told you, so those scientific advisors have been all gloomy. they say about on the kron about a potential habit that it could be read reaping across the that the health sector, the back benches and the cabinet members are going to say to restaurants. and we told you that this was an over gloomy and pessimistic outlook. and we were right to hold back or to recommend that you hold back from risk for further restrictions. that is most likely what for us, johnson is going to be doing cases of covered 1900 rising in the democratic
