3:17 am
afghanistan. millions of people have fallen deep into poverty, prompting an urgent call from the u. n. for more funding to prevent mass starvation in winter. the u. s. state department says iran must abandon demands it calls unacceptable in talks to revive the battle 2015 nuclear deal. t ron says an agreement could be reached in the coming days if certain issues are resolved. reports say one of those is we're moving a ron's revolutionary gods. off a us terrorism list, we'd been clear about what a return to mutual compliance with the g c p a would look like. there are issues that the iranians have put on the table that are clearly extraneous to the 4 corners of the j. c. p. away every time they have done that, we have made very clear that the jcp away is about one thing and one thing only about iran's nuclear program,
3:18 am
and we're prepared to negotiate one thing. and one thing only. let's take a look at how we got to this point. world powers have been trying to salvage the iran nuclear deal, known as the j. c, p. o. and around sign. the agreement in 2015. it was designed to limit to runs nuclear ambitions. in exchange for sanctions relief, but in may 2018 and then president donald trump withdrew the u. s. and began re imposing sanctions. a year later, iran started gradually ramping up its nuclear program. it reduced access to monitors from the u and nuclear watched oak increasing tension with the u. s. stop start negotiations resumed in april. this year, under the binding administration and the european union put forth what it called a final text, urging all sides to finalize the deal. a short time ago i spoke with gary some more who is the director of the crown center for middle east studies at brandeis university. he says if the current draft agreement fails,
3:19 am
the us will likely increase its demands. unfortunately, it appears to me that iran is not willing to. ready accept the text that the e u has put forward. as far as i can tell from the crest reporting it, ron has attached some additional conditions and demands that it wants to be met. and if iran is not prepared to accept that e u text, i imagine the u. s. will probably also have some changes that would like to say, has iran has raised 3 separate issues, which the u. s. considers to be extraneous to the text. first, iran wants sanctions lifted on the i, r g c or companies associate with the i r g c. second, iran want some guarantees that even after the president biden leaves, the white house, you west will continue to honor the agreement. and 31 once the i e,
3:20 am
a investigation in to past nuclear activities to the end. and as i said, the u. s. considers each agrees to be extraneous to the agreement and is not prepared to accept any of. so i think it's very much an america's interest to revive the j. c. p. away. i think it's in your ron's interest as well. so i don't quite understand why is supreme leader hon. luke continues to procrastinate. whether it's just bargaining tactics, or whether he prefers to hang onto it ra, a iran enriched uranium, even if it costs iran. tremendous loss of opportunity in terms of oil revenues. the un says he can support or visit by international atomic energy agency to cranes separation nuclear power plant. if both russia and ukraine agree, moscow and cave accuse each other of shelling the plant which russia sees control
3:21 am
of in march. some foreign ladies have called for it to be returned to crime while the un has demanded and nuclear inspectors be allowed to access the facility. the past few days they've been, they've been repeated comments by various russian officials accusing the united nation secretary of having either canceled or blocked visit by the international atomic energy agency to the operates a nuclear power plant. the i. e. a is a specialized agency that acts in full independence in deciding how to implement its specific mandate in close contact with the i. e, a, the un secretary has assess that it has in ukraine, the logistics and security capacity to be able to support any i a e, a mission to the, operates a nuclear power plant from keith should. of course, the ukranian and russian authorities are great. china has announced more live fine

3:23 am
has now announced a new round of drills around the taiwan strait. that announcement was accompanied by some pretty forceful language as well, with a military saying that it would resolutely smash any foreign interference. i also reiterated a point that was made by the chinese embassy in washington, which was to say that the visit expose the true face of the u. s. as a troublemaker and sabbath of peace and stability in the taiwan strait. we don't know an awful lot about the nature of this round of combat drills or how long it all might last. but it is worth noting that the exercises which are extended in the wake of nancy pelosi, his visits had toned down in recent days. but they hadn't ceased altogether, and ty wants defense ministry said the 11 chinese crawford crossed over into his advent. so on sunday, the foreman's re here invasion was also question about the visit earlier and folks bus 11 been reiterated the one china principal was the political foundation of time between china,

3:25 am
horrors of partition rights broke out in both india and pakistan, killing at least a 1000000 people. decades later, many are trying to find common ground on my lunch me soda grew up in sin and now lives in baron, poor. her family are among the many hindus who stayed in pakistan. she says she feels lucky to live in both countries. i family stands out because, you know, people feel that people were hostile to words either not nor they warned and what our families, the history was my great, i'm proud that my grand grandfather took that decision and read it complex matter. what is the difference? i said, because the matter didn't a raj put again ost my family bumper. so our culture and everything is very similar . so it was not a big change for me. on as part of the celebrations, the government is asking people to fly. the tricolor celebrities have joined the campaign and trader saved the response, has been unprecedented. the flag was one of the major symbols of the independence
3:26 am
movement. the government says it wants people to build personal connections with the tricolor to invoke patriotism. some manly see this as a way to redefine nationhood and it's violent past. i ask myself, is it the case that the flag is also representing to us? oh, a guy, no flaw, really living off that very traumatic, violent dime? is it the case that we are actually a remembering and antagonism that was extremely divisive, extremely violent, and the reason for but diction? critics, a religious tensions have increased under no rings are moody, but on independence day, indians from all walks of life turned out to set a brit softening. but they'll al jazeera new delhi saw. she's the roar, ease and am paid from india's opposition. congress potting, early i, he told us what he thinks of the challenges the countries facing you can be very,
3:27 am
very policy because of you mentioned all the right things. we've got a literacy rate of 16 percent to $82.00. we've gone from 90 percent of the population living below the poverty 9 to about 20. we've gone from life expectancy of 27 to 70. so then all of this is good. and at the same time, because of the scale of the country and the nature of the challenges before us, we know it's not, there's a lot more that needs to be accomplished and i think that's, that's fundamental. but there are some things that the government is doing, right. even if i'm in the opposition, i would say that the emphasis that's been given mom technology could actually be quite a game changer, for example, in the economy and well the government and just announced that the indian holy envision is 5 g technology is capable of taking all the world, and that's something where we see,
3:28 am
i think that the overall perception of the economy is what it, what is people like me is the onset of a devise in social agenda on the positive learning support, which needlessly is provoking a sense of division and the education amongst all minorities, and particularly there was the minority. germany's environment minister has met with her polish counterpart to this gas and mass fish kill in the odor. river. scientists have been unable to find out the cause so far. dominic cane reports from the polish gen and border august in labels is usually a month when anglers prosper. but not this august. for along the river order, more than 10 tons of fish have been killed. something unheard of for people living here with the gov officially kia sean. i have been fishing here for 40 years and
