political system is corrupt. a rock hasn't had a function in government and nearly a year. will it speak now to my mood? abdulla heat, who is in baghdad, fits well. what's been the reaction from his supporters there when we have been getting reporters from the sit in message it by so the supporters that they have been joined by more supporters follow and get his resignation. some reports suggest that there could be carriers and there they can't be controlled. now as if they were before her, as you know that this resignation comes only 24 hours before unexpected. the supreme court session to roll on a plea submitted by a number of politicians, including southern affiliated to our politicians are demanding the parliament be dissolved. in fact, holding the prison or the state,

the prime minister must have academy and the speaker, the parliament, responsible for air or not dissolving the apartment for not a ending that political crisis. so this resignation at this time, it comes at a time that the political, a crisis in iraq has reached an elevated stage. it could be read in terms of disappointment, frustration, a by the souther movement. but on the other hand, it could be also read as a type of an attempt to try to put more pressure on his arrival as to try to show some or case head of that expected session. probably to put some pressure on their supreme court. and despite the fact that those supporters of looked at us, other there have been staging, get it in for a month now, in front of the parliament halting operation. they had been controlled by his

instructions, but now in the resignation he mentioned that he is not responsible for any possible action that might take place. that could be read as a kind of probably acquittal. i was a kind of it, this owning what possible case or reaction that might happen as you know that those are not all these other supporters. but also they have been joined by some anger to protest as her feet up with the current political system who want to change addressed could change to the whole political system. elsa has an else's withdrawal from political life before only to walk that decision back. so this time different will some people say it is not different because before he quit it several times before he he, he declared his acquittal or a his was through with,

from the whole political and seen. but he, he, he came back here to turn it at several times before. but this time is very special . what is new this time is that it comes against the backdrop of a, a, a whole political crisis, a political crisis that includes old political rival factions and the country. and that has taken 10 months. now remember, this has been going on for the last 2 months. since the october parliamentary elections and it also comes at the back ground or against the back ground of a failure by the parliament to elect to a new president of the state or a new a government. you know, that civil sector was in the country have been put into a hold because of this political deadlock, including services such as of that of directly affecting or impacting the lay out people regular citizens. but now southern resigning or a declared and gary announcing his resignation at this moment is crucial because it

comes at a time. one of the political crisis has reached a highest level. it could be read also and terms of the political maneuvering, the maneuvering and counter maneuvering. between rivalry, politicians, it remains to be seen whether or not the supreme court will probably hold the session on time or probably postpone it. we need to find out what is not the supporters of move to the southern, in which way you will, they react when they move a had to a clash with their political protestants. who are staging account to sit and not far from them. just outside the fences of the green zone, those are supporters of that a valid political block named at the coordination framework that is backed by iran, both arrival, protest, sad, not far from each other, but now the fact that saw that has this o and any possible reaction he's not, that is ignatius says in a way or another that saw that is not responsible for any action that might be

taken by a supporters by those protested on the ground. because he reiterated that those are not only so the support us. those are not only a supports us, but the have ali, but regular iraqis protested as people who are put up with their political system. anger protested to want to change the whole political system. so that is ignatius has between the lines that a souther is trying to say. i am not responsible for any possible k is that might take place because of this at political deadlock that has not been solved. what has not been put into an end by the political rivals, mahmoud, abdullah. he'd thank you very much for that update. no doubt we will come back to you throughout the day there attain from the you and you clear watchdog is on its way to inspect you trends, effort, re ship power plants in the southeast,

the head of the international atomic energy agency. rafael glossy has so permission to visit the site for months. grossey tweeted this picture a few hours ago. ukraine and russia have tried to blame for shelling near the facility. your abs, biggest nuclear power plant has been occupied by russian troops since the start of the war. the head of ukraine's atomic energy company has called on moscow to remove its troops, still whoo behalf for the best hope that they will be able to bring last was a 5 l m. the altima 3 decision flows about it was a nuclear poet bomb. just to remove fractions from her through so just a moment ago. but to res, above has more from cave lucre power plants are not meant to be in the middle of a war zone. and that's what exactly is going on right now with fighting and shelling all around the area a surrounding area outside the nuclear power plant. in fact, the russian minister of defense said that ukrainian forces had been shelling very,

very close to where the reactors are located at something that the ukrainian forces deny. they are saying that it's the other way around. so, you know, it's been for, for months now, they're the, i am, has been demanding to be able to allow to go inside the pound, to evaluate whether any type of damage has been caused there. but there's been an ongoing debate about how this visit that now seems very, very close to happen, is going to take face initially. moscow wanted that visit to go through russia. well, apparently, and from what we're hearing, it seems that the i eat a team is coming here to ukraine. they'll have to cross through the front line. so certainly there is a big bicker, security issue, being handled and negotiated. we also know that president vladimir reporting about a week ago, he spoke with a french president in manuel macro, where they both agreed about the need to establish this video. so what are the inspector is going to be monitoring 1st is the damage whether any type of damage

happened in there. the 2nd important issue is to see how the workforce is being handled. let's not forget that the plan continues to be handled by technicians, ukrainian technicians who are closely monitored by russian soldier. so suddenly this is another issue. and the 3rd is that item important item is that all the safety systems are in place. foreign aid has started to arrive in pakistan as it deals with record flooding. planes from turkey in the u, a. e arrived on sunday more than a 1000 people have died to since mid june. military helicopters have been deployed to help those stranded and remote mountainous areas. the minister for climate change has wound up to a 3rd of the country, could still be submerged after the monsoon season ins come out. honda is in the swath region of pakistan where the aid has been started there driving and some of the remote regions because the road networks are badly affected,

it's returned to our breaking news out of iraq where mac ta ta l sought a has announced his resignation from politics. let's bring in for heart a lot and he is chairman at the iraq advisory council and joins us from london. thank you very much for being on the program. first of all, are you surprised by this announcement? in a way, not because he has been planning for it for a while on few days ago. one of his aides, which is called as the minister of the leader or was it okay? i have indicated that he wouldn't be getting out. and by then that nobody should be asking them to interfere, intervene, or by a treat or any other method, if things go out a half. so in a way that this is part of a plan that he's been working on because he has reached a deadlock, are here, has reached a point where he cannot see that political parties would do what he is demanding.

and this is the way that he wants and it looks like that he wants to go for a regime change. well, the supreme court was you to meet on tuesday to decide on whether the parliament was going to be resolved. you still think that that goes ahead now if this situation escalades in a way that it's going on right now and then the protesters broke out and, and now into the. ready presidential palace and of the go ahead and taking more places. i doubt of the court will convene, but either way, the court will to the court, the decision is, is almost known, which is, this is not the authority to these all parliament. it's up to the parliament to dissolve itself according to article $64.00 of the constitution. no, the only thing which we could have he had from the court is the explanation of why they think this is america for the political parties to decide and for the

parliament to adhere to, to dissolve itself as their birth process as the political process does not continue, however, it is going to be difficult. now, elsa has announced his withdrawal from political life before only to walk and his decision back. is this actually the end of l saddest political career do you think? i don't think so either he is the, he's a very ambitious person. he you or he wants to see iraq in a way that he is seeing it and he's been working systematically since 2010 lost complete can say to the other 6 onward. but he has participated in every election than he has been ascending all the way. i don't believe that he is going to throw away everything that he worked for for the past 18 years, just on a tweet. he has ambition and he, he has a plan and he thinks he has the way to, to make it into a different regime where he could be the dominant force or thank you so much for

your inside. that is for heart allowed and he's the chairman at the iraq advisory council. thank you for joining the program. thank you. the runs president sebra him rice. he is making his 1st year in office with a public address. he's had a challenging year from an economic crisis caused by years of sanctions to negotiations to restore the 2015 nuclear deal. speaking in toronto, rice, he said it was around national right to pursue nuclear energy and research. he blamed israel for opposing what he called around peaceful program. you know, how can we sell most regime in from the beginning designing regime didn't want us to have access to nuclear science, but it's become part of our country. you can take it from us. the zionists did all the code to stop us to kill our scientists, but we didn't stop. none of their actions will be able to stop us. this is an absolute right of iran, or you will adore such

a valerie has more from turan. he's been talking about a number of domestic issues, mainly focusing on what his government has been able to achieve over the past 12 months. but of course, that very important 2015 nuclear agreements known as the j. c. p o, a is still very much up in the air whether or not iran will be able to come to some kind of an agreement with the united states to return to that deal. of course the us love to deal with 2018 under the former us president donald trump. and there was a series of sanctions imposed on iran. and now the f raheem racy government is seeing the economic effects of those sanctions. and the main sticking points are still very much up in the air between iran and the us. but the idea is that this agreement will really help alleviate some of the countries economic issues. but the president was adamant that they need to focus internally and also to the countries in the region for foreign investment that they should put all their faith in this

nuclear deal. and the united states government. because the feeling here is that they cannot be trusted in the long term as the president has been talking about number of regional issues as well. and he's been issuing threats against israel saying that despite their best efforts of sabotaged assassinations, and threats, iran to nuclear program is advancing. and of course, this country is now enriching uranium at 60 percent levels the highest it's ever had in its history since starting its nuclear program decades ago. the idea is that this nuclear program is one of the main deterrents against israel launching any kind of an attack on this country. and abraham bracy has said that, even if they think about any kind of an attack against thereon, by the time they think about it and carrying it out, they will see what will happen to them. so very strong words, but to be expected from iran's 8th president about the rhetoric that is coming out

of israel and remaining very firm about the right to have a nuclear program in iran. nasa is looking to take its 1st major step towards a man, moon mission and 50 years that engineers are working through an issue at the moment with one of the engines on the ottoman rocket that may have fixed the launch from kennedy space center in florida, which was ju, an around an hour, the u. s. plans to put humans back on the moon surface by 2025. well this is the john rockets that will power ness is artemus mission named the space launch system or a is alice. it will generate 15 percent more thrust than set in 5, which powered the polar moon missions the it's las will carry the a ryan catch will and to spice. it's designed to triple through the and longer than the apolo, luna lambda in time ness is hoping to make history with the 1st woman and person of

color on the moon. but this mission will have only mannequins on board for the moon landing. they'll be for astronauts. that's one more than the apollo missions just over 50 years ago. men well over a polo is waiting for launch the kennedy space center in florida and i, we still on for lunch at the stage. when fingers are crossed, collective breaths are being held that the day may actually finally be here. that the launch is actually going to happen despite all these concerns that you've just mentioned. and just behind me, it may not look like it's very close to us. but it is actually only 5 and a half kilometers away. the space launch system. hard on this one at nasa's return to the moon. there's a lot of excitement. look, we arrived here at our light location where we are right now at around 3 this morning. but even then, it took us about an hour just to get to hear from, from our, from our hotel, just given the amount of traffic authorities here are expecting anywhere between

800000 half a 1000000 people to attend this event. so this is quite, the spectacle is quite the spectacle. that's not to say that there is not concerns . the number one concern obviously be weather early this morning and the midnight hours there was heavy rainfall. you can see there is some cloud cover right now, but conditions do appear to be optimal. the biggest concern right now appears to be this potential hydrogen leak that the engineers are working on with the space launch system. this is not a new problem. these, this hydrogen leak is a bug that engineers have been dealing with for several months now, dating back to june. but it's going to be charlie blackwell, thompson, the 1st woman launch director that nasa has ever had. she's going to be doing a poll of every system engineer to make sure that every apps absolutely, every single system is working, checking and double checking, making sure that everything is optimal, so that there is a safe and successful launch today. thank you very much. that is manuel over paula

for us at the kennedy space center in florida. well, it's returned to breaking news from iraq. we approach his have broken out in the capital, baghdad, after an influential she announced his resignation from politics. book l thought supporters have been holding a sit in outside rugs parliament for a month in june he ordered his n paste to resign, sang a rocks. political system is corrupt. iraq hasn't had a function in government in nearly a year. well, mahmud, i've done what he'd joined us now on the phone from baghdad. can you just bring us up to speed with what's happening on the ground there? all indications of the go on suggest that this some kind of base collation, despite the fact that it does exist itself as sub him. so, mission and the ignition that he's putting old political life,

he's leaving the old, this political book that has been going on for 10 months now, but on the ground on the ground, he's supposed to have been have been acting in case they have been trying to to break into the, the other side of the greens or they have been trying to move out, trying to defensive of the green zone as they have been. they have been, is changing this fit in for a month now and probably call him a few pine crevices of the parliament demanding that the parliament be dissolved because it hasn't been functioning for almost a year now. and also added the election and this political deadlock and despite the bad that sub himself and his resignation does not in his truck, it's important clearly to, to, to move or to any action. but this is the no, but we action. but he supports this because this is a state of frustration. disappointed as from himself,

his admission indicates this page of frustration, this paper with appointment at the home political system as you know, that they have been mitigation by the political tied maybe by the prime minister of the could this region. but as of yet, it seems that this mediation has not worked out between the political blocks says, you know, that this has been going on for 10 now dealing the formation of the government, or even like a new president, the state, the main disagreement lies between southern on the one side and the parliamentary blog known as the coordination of framework that has reached a deadlock, that the current situation in iraq, you political atmosphere, is a stain made a state that has led to the whole to pollution in many years on top of the

economy, this comes against the bank dog, the political labor really between and his life, but petitions over forming a government. we've been tied into for monday been going on for 10 months now. southern says he and his will make entitled to form the government went up with allied parliamentary blocks on the other hand of the lenient back because it's enticing to the government consensus government so that once a majority government day, they leaning back. politicians want to get them so the situation now inside the green zone is ok you take support to joined in by more support. those moving in like like have has li without any.
