nuclear program is exclusively for peaceful purposes. we'll say the international atomic energy agency is saying that wrong, don't pass up to 60 percent enriched uranium, have grown by more than 12 kilograms. ralph says the former director of the disarmament arms control and nonproliferation program, stock homes, international peace research institute. he believes iran is enriching uranium as a bargaining chip for future negotiations. well, the i, yes. now reported that iran has struck by the 55.6 kilograms of 60 percent in radium. and they said that there is no useful use for it. in iran, iran claims that they will use this material in the research reactor to produce i put up for medical use. nonetheless, this is quite an extensive quantity. in my view, iran has produced this amount of 60 percent enrich uranium as a bargaining chip to give up in return for release from economic sanctions and

other items that it wants from the united states. so iran has demonstrated a capability to enrich uranium since 2003. this is nearly 20 years of enrichment activity. so that's nothing new. why does new in the growing stop pile of enriched uranium? iran also has delivery systems in the form of ballistic missiles. so taken together, there are some consent that iran may go for a nuclear weapons capability a short order, but we mustn't forget that there are other countries in the middle east that also have ballistic missiles. and israel is non reputed to have had a nuclear weapons program as well as delivery systems. so iran is not alone in the region. iraq supreme court has ruled against dissolving parliament, saying it doesn't have the constitutional authority. politicians allied with influential sheer liter booked. heather of sutter had re filed a petition last month after a previous request was rejected. so those supporters have been protesting for

months calling for a complete overhaul of the political system and new elections. falco 3 is a research officer at the london school of economics where she specializes in iraq . she says the court is called for lawmakers to dissolve parliament. the result. the court ruled the conners of parliament because it doesn't have the constitutional authority. the way it did is it will say, criticize the m p 's that came after october 2021 and said that they haven't fulfilled their constitutional duties. so basically threw the ball back into the court. but of them or implicitly urge them to dissolve parliament and hold me election however, is really difficult because it's been 11 months and the 2 sides, the coordination framework and the southern have been unable to agree as to how to move forward and to and the political impasse is really difficult to predict what's going to happen next. and the last couple of days there's been talks have been

organized by current prime minister stuff. i'll call the me between the coordination framework and various other sort of dominant posed 2003 parties. however, looked at the, has refused to partake in these talks, and what they've done is they form the committee that's supposed to decide on the formation of been, you can say to government and decide on dates for the new elections and what they're trying to do at the moment to get them to agree to joining the tools that there are no signs at present that he's willing to do. so president vladimir putin has warned the west that it cannot isolate russia. he was speaking of the eastern economic fall in love of all stock. he rejected a un nuclear watchdog report on the jeffery ship power plant in ukraine. denying that russia has military equipment at the facility. and that's after the i a, a called for a demilitarization zone around what is europe largest nuclear plant. he also said that western sanctions against russia had backfired. and now threatened the whole

world. you do seem to newly hurt because of the sanctions from the west have been an aggressive attempt to get other countries to follow certain models. there are questions around sovereignty and subordinating to their will. these are policies which have been carried out for decades. but there's been slipping away of us domination. they haven't been able to see the objective fact. if we look at recent times, the entire system of international relations is going through tectonic change of putin threatened to cut off boil and gas to countries that impose and energy price capital. he called it a dumb idea. the g 7 has already agreed to camps and the u is considering it. we aim at lowering the cost of gas and therefore we will propose a price cap on russian gas. of course, the objective is very clear. we all know that our sanctions, deeply grinding into the russian economy with heavy negative impact.

but booting is partially buffering through fossil fuel revenues. so here the objective is we must cut rushes revenues, which fortune uses to finance is atrocious. war and ukraine. and dominic cane has more from berlin the last few days, few weeks about the russian position. these are ve, the energy crisis. we know that several western governments have said that it's a weapon, eyes ation of the situation. we know the e you long ago said that they believe that's president putin was recognizing the situation. what you need to remember is that not just the eve of the g 7 has already said that it would like to see price caps on russian oil. now we know that the spanish government has said that the e u is considering price caps on russian gas masses for spain, because spain, over the course of this summer has been shipping in more l. n g,

that's liquefied natural gas from russia. so the suggestion that the b caps on prices, well, that obviously would potentially have an effect on russia. and we know that president putin is talking about. he said that the west would be frozen using a russian allusion to a russian fairy tale about a wolf having its tail frozen. that's the sort of language that he is using. and it has to be said, it is in direct opposition to the sorts of language that he, you leaders, other western leaders happening using these avi russia. clearly there is no question. there is no meeting of minds between president putin's position and the position of the politicians in brussels and elsewhere. that same speech vladimir putin also accuse ukraine of cheating, developing countries out of grain shipments and sending its harvest to the european union. instead, an advisor to ukraine's president says that claim is groundless. last week a ship came 23000 tons of ukrainian grain arrived in east africa. a dispute your

continuous, if we did everything we could to get this ukrainian grain as we did this with turkey is the result. if we remove turkey as an intermediary, virtually all the grain was brought not the poor country but to the european union . the world food program speaks of the need for the poorest country on the out of $60000.00 tons of production, just 3 percent went to developing countries, you know was humans terika lu is a professor of international relations that is stumble, aiden university, he says rushes claims a part of a larger geopolitical dispute. i don't think that the russian explanations on this particular issue makes the reality on the grounds. what we have is that there is a kind of consultation, been russia and russia, ukraine, and ukrainian, or russian have older, committed to comply with the terms of the screening agreements. i think russians are feeling the growing exposure to creating a text lately in recent days. and also the europeans are increasing the kind of

pressure on russia. so i think rational leadership might have decides to find a certain damage on this kind of growing assault on ukraine. so you should be should see, hash kinds of frustration as part of our logic, your political game. it's part of teeth for type kind of face. the countries which are located in the global chart are in dire of having access to such kind of grades . so i think ukrainians and russians are supposed to go, they advance to make sure that those grains reach to the countries which are in need of. so i find the idea that the russia, ukraine, and ships target european nations or countries other than the countries in the global start at some helps fabrication. so rich, i think it doesn't reflect the reality because this will be in complete violation of the terms. the hell did committed themselves to comply with in july 2002. and so i think this is a part of larger jo political accusation begin will say,

choosing each other or violating the terms of the agreement. britain, the leader les stress, has held her 1st prime minister's question times in parliament on her 2nd day in office. now i would give and cheer for visa. she pushed her plans to go the economy through tech, so the conservative government is under pressure to title a cost of living crisis and storing energy bills. but let's trust has ruled out taxing energy companies. huge profit meeting when she sat in a leadership campaign though she was against winful taxes. did she mean it? i am against a winful tax. i believe it is the wrong thing to be met to be hurting companies off investing in the united kingdom just to be growing the economy. luxury simmons has more westminster questions than answers in parliament. is the big test of any new prime minister for the actual end result juries out really?

she did stand her ground. she did seem relatively calm. she did answer back in terms of the usual way. a prime minister would do the attacks upon her a but care stormer was targeted in his approach. he knew where he could find weak points, he kept emphasizing. where is the money going to come from? if you're going to freeze energy prices, the cost of prices, millions and millions of families in this country are desperately worried about labor says it's got the answer because they would actually use the windfall tax against the energy companies. 170000000000 pounds. that's well over $200000000000.00 is actually being up forecast for the next 2 years by the oil and gas companies. ah, he says darma says that that money should be attacked with winful tax. now as far

as the new prime minister is concerned, no, she said no, she will not. will not affect those taxes. they're totally legitimate. she says and she carried on repeating that a comic growth and tax cuts were the way forward. though brazil is barking, $200.00 jasmine dependence from portugal, the critics accused the president of turning it into a campaign event. president john bolton already is attending parade, the military demonstrations, but with elections leaving october. his team was also planned to political rallies across the country. and central, hopefully later silver has not planned. any events well still had here on out there, albania cuts, ties with iran, and orders all iranian diplomats to lee following cyber attacks in july. and tell the floods destroy thousands of homes in saddam the stories after the break. ah,

a prime minister in saying that iran should be held accountable for what the ghost is calling an unprecedented cyber incident. and the usaa saying that intends to hold iran accountable for its actions without specifying how it intends to do. so saying that this said a troubling precedent for cyberspace. now, we should point out that the united states has been working alongside albania, officials on the ground since this attack occurred back in july. what we know is that they have been working not only to investigate the origins of this attack, but also to mitigated. this comes into an interesting time, given the fact that the united states is continuing to try and revive the j. c, p o, a or b ever to limit or runs nuclear program through that 2015 agreement to the by the administration is keen to revive that. the previous administration under donald trump abandoned us. so this certainly does complicate those matters. in fact,

we know that the white house press secretary crecia pierre, spoke about this i, those efforts i just one day ago saying that there is still mutual interest to try and revise this agreement. but there are gaps that remade, and certainly this incident will only complicate those matters further. fringe prosecutors say they found no evidence. members of the french armed forces played a role in the rwanda genocide. 800000 should seize and moderate who trees were killed over 100 days. in 1994 commission found friends had been blinded by its colonial attitude and both serious responsibility for what happened. the prosecutor say nothing points to the direct involvement french troops and they've closed the case australia has been accused of interference after offering to fund the next general election in the solomon islands. the solomon's prime minister is facing mounting pressure, falling proposals to change the constitution. he says the country can't afford to
