a possible disaster focus balance. former prime minister cameron con, has arrived in court to face charges of contempt. if convicted, he could face the 6 month present term and be disqualified from running for office . it's been and not as striking. mckennie, the capital of ethiopia, as no been to gray region pricing between government forces and rebels from to grey has now spread along the border was to don fighting, resumed last week, off to a 5 month love. the war ukraine has dominated talks between the foreign ministers of iran and russia. in moscow, the 2 sides have grown close together as both nations and now subject to us sanctions say her aunt has refused to directly condemn moscow's invasion of ukraine . washington has accused iran of supplying russia with drones. a claim that to her on has denied the iran nuclear deal also featured in wednesday's meeting. she'll be a mission blown them gc. we've also talked about the settlement of the iranian

nuclear program and administer thanked us for our very committed position there in terms of negotiations and getting these nuclear day on the table again. and we insist that all the sanction should be completely done away with in line with the un security council decision that he should ap up here on the call you carefully reviewing the draft text for revival of the nuclear deal. we are looking into how we could get a strong and durable agreement. firstly, the i. e, a should drop is political motivated, demands about iran's nuclear activity. secondly, all sides to respect a new deal after this time. the u. s. should act realistically with their demands or removing their sanctions against iran has mean that mohammed mirandi is a professor at the university of to, for on. he says, russia, the fees are wrong as an honest player and the ukraine war. the iranians are from the very beginning, they pointed out that while they oppose war,

they recognized that nato broke its promise not to expand eastwards and nato was involved in the coo and ukraine. and also nato was supporting right wing, malicious in the country. there was a pressing russian speakers, especially in the dumbass and east south of ukraine. and of course, the nato countries never allowed or never put pressure on here to implement the minster courts if, if those agreements were implemented, we wouldn't have had this war. so the russian see iran as an honest player and the wrong criticizes the united states and europeans core. not dealing with the issues in a more reasonable way within the context of the midst, of course. so the russians do listen to iran, and that is why senior european officials, or at least one that i know of, asked the iranian president to help to see if there can be

a solution. and that is part of the reason why this meeting took place. iran has a very long relationship with the russian military and the russians. and the iranians have had a long history of exchanging technology and cooperation at the different level. so that is nothing extraordinary. the 2 sides have have a close military relationship that goes way back before any, any of the, any of the issues that arose in ukraine over the past few years. a wrong caretaker, prime minister says he will resign of the political crisis, and unrest continues mister for, i'll come d me address the nation after 2 days of von and protest in bagdad heavily fortified green zone. the chaos ended when the powerful, shy political lead and mcdonald's solder ordered his supporters to withdraw. on tuesday, the 30 people were killed and hundreds wounded. the purchase was sponsored by

saunders announcement that he was quitting. politics dawson jabar has been following the story from baghdad. it's unclear how serious those threats are that are made by the current iraqi prime minister. most stuff all academy who himself has been in the position since may of 2020. he was also appointed as a caretaker, prime minister. but the political upheaval in this country has just continued and he, in that speech seemed very, very frustrated and tired from the ongoing political crisis that has been dragging on and now reached a very violent days. and the over the past 48 hours here at the iraqi prime minister said that at the duality of this state and non state needs. and he also said that the arms that had been used against the iraqi people should be used to protect them. and he said that he was willing to step aside if these disputes

between the various factions would at don't come to an end. he just seemed a to me as saying that he's not really able to carry out his duties with all this political in fighting that is ongoing as well as the violence that us crew been created as a result of it. what would happen if he does choose to leave office is that the president would be in charge of the country and then the president would have a 15 day period to appoint another caretaker prime minister who would take over that position until the next elections are held in this country, the u. s. justice department says it's got evidence. the former president donald trump team was hiding classified, filed, that is florida home. it also says his team was obstructing investigation into whether he illegally removed top secret documents from the white house and a court falling on tuesday. government lawyers say it was that evidence that prompted the search of trumps mar logo residence at the beginning of august. all

part of president vladimir putin. politicking says germany on gets we are literally paying a price. these stoppages have been bandied about him, talk shows, and political speeches as a rhetorical possibility over the summer in zone. but it's not rhetoric, it's a better reality for me. this is bitter abruptly that which is why ministers have spent months trying to find gas from other sources. feedback for any part of the german government's coping strategy depends on installations like this one, a gas storage facility at looters doff outside berlin. here it's already almost 95 per cent full and 95 percent capacity is the target. the german government has set to be reached by the 1st of november. but storage of gas is only one aspect of the solution. one analyst says in the short term, every one is being urged to use as little gas as possible. reduce demand in industry and households where you can and not only industrial processes,

but also when and in heats and heating systems. but also when it comes to electricity, man, and that's precisely why the government at the moment is trying think hearts on consumers all sectors to reduce demand. because that's what can bring down on the consumption. in theory, full gas storage will only cover german needs for a few winter months, which is why the government has been building new liquefied natural gas terminals on its north sea coast. so that the ellen g shipments its been buying in can help cover any shortfall in the coldest months early next year, covering german needs in the longer term involves breaking with russian fossil fuels for ever. dominant cane al jazeera looters, doff. kenya supreme court has begun the hearing presidential candidate, rollo dingus, challenge to the election results. it will sit on till september the 4th, i think as rival william router was declared, the winner would just over 50 percent of the vote. full of be 7. electoral
