7:07 am
it's going to be very interesting observing how the next few days are going to be. because what did you call it on the occasions to this rejection by under, but i don't think i already narrow particular we had some buckets of places where some protests and a bit of breaking into that initial success one and in the us from holding the younger there been lots of 14, but we know that there been lots of deployment tools, the creature he says. so the implication of this is such that that is the political side of bits. miss domingo himself lived to speak to this. my daughter was a blue tomorrow or the day after you come to we'll be watching to see what the next one is going to make you to agree beyond the possibility of going to the supreme court or petition against that is us that i mean they, by the commission chair for you are state to pop and says iran must abandon demands
7:08 am
it calls unacceptable and talks to revive the battle of 2015 nuclear deal. terror on says an agreement could be reached in the coming days. if certain issues are resolved, reports say one of those is removing iran revolutionary guards of a u. s. terrorism list. we've been clear about what are returned to our mutual compliance with the g. c. p. o, 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 gc, the way is about one thing, one thing only, it's about a ron's nuclear program and we're prepared to negotiate one. and one thing on the world powers have been trying to salvage the iran nuclear deal. then as the j. c p o, a iran sonia agreement in 2015, it was designed to limit terrans nuclear ambitions and exchange for sanctions relief. but in may 2018. then president donald trump withdrew the u. s. and began
7:09 am
re imposing sanctions. a year later, iran started ramping up its nuclear program. it reduced to access to monitors from the u. n. nuclear watchdog, increasing tension with the us. but stop start negotiations resumed in april last year, under the bible administration. and the european union is put forward what it called a final text, urging all sides to finalize the deal with gary some more. on the brandeis university, he says if the current draft agreement fails, the u. s. will likely increase its demands. unfortunately, it appears to me that iran is not willing to. ready accept the text that the eat you has put forward. as far as i can tell from press reporting it, ron has attached some additional conditions and demands that it wants to be met. and if the iran is not prepared to accept the text, i imagine us will probably also have some changes that would like to say,
7:10 am
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 associated with the i or g c. second, iraq want some guarantees that even after the president biden leaves the white house, the u. s. will continue to honor the agreement. and 3rd, iran, once the i e, a investigation in to pass 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. so i think it's very much an america's interest to revive the j. c. p. away. i think it's in your rods and christ as well. so i don't quite understand why supremely hum continues to procrastinate. whether it's just bargaining tactics, or whether he prefers to hang onto it ra, a raj enriched uranium,
7:11 am
even if it costs iran. tremendous loss of opportunity. in terms of oil revenues, the u. n. says it can support a visit by the international atomic energy agency to ukraine's apparition nuclear power plant. if both russia and ukraine agree. moscow and key to choose each other of shelling the plant, which russia seized control of in march. some foreign leaders of called for it to be returned to ukraine, while the u. n. has demanded that nuclear inspectors be allowed access. the past few days they've been in, they've been repeated comments by various russian officials accusing the united nations secretary of having either canceled or blocked visit by the international atomic energy agency to the separate. so nuclear power plant, the i e, a is a specialized agency that acts in full independence in deciding how to implement it specific mandate in close contact with the i. e, a,

7:27 am
a very difficult obstacle to come. so what this does is remove her further and further away. or there are still several more cases. she'll need to face in the coming weeks where they were hearing more evidence to day a, but i think today's charges really shoak that she, the military intention is to keep her out of the picture completely. nicaragua, catholic church says another priest has been arrested as tensions flare between the church and the government. oscar benavidez was detained a day after hundreds of nicaraguans attended mass and the capital. despite a ban on a religious procession. relations between daniel, take as government and the church of intense since a crackdown on protest as in 2018 which left more than 350 people. farmers and police are faced off in bolivia over the production of coca leaves work as they are accused. the government of backing a rival grow as union which is opened

7:29 am
