european powers to do more to salvage the nuclear deal ever since the u.s. unilaterally pulled out last year. centrifuges like these are needed to enrich uranium tehran now says it's put its centrifuges back into operation making it possible to enrich more uranium at a higher concentration at breach of the nuclear agreements. more home but didn't before the other signatories stick to their commitments sir will we but until then we'll go our own way the europeans should know that there isn't much time left if you want to act you should do so quickly wages as you had to do your job in the moment. but the europeans are sticking to their demands. we've been very clear and consistent that our commitment to the nuclear deal depends on full compliance by iran. from the streets of tehran men who support the government's

hard line on the nuclear deal. with industrial europeans are doing the bidding of the americans we have to do our own sittings on the ground it's a fine line for tehran to trade between its own conservative hardliners and its european partners. france has offered iran a $15000000000.00 credit line to compensate its for the economic sanctions in return tehran would be expected to return to the nuclear deal with. india's prime minister narendra modi is urging scientists are remain optimistic after they lost contact with a spacecraft carrying a moon lander india's space agency is analyzing data to find out why the communication with chandra into went down when the probe was just a short distance from the lunar surface and mission set out in july to explore the uncharted territory of the moon's south pole. and e.w.

correspondent joins us now from the indian capital delhi throw an image of president modi did look somewhat disappointed there but he made an effort to reassure the nation there was much to be proud of just how big a setback is this for him. well definitely the response across the nation despite the disappointment of what made be a fear all of the program has been to support is stalled which is india's space program the prime minister himself and others in the administration as well as civilians came out on social media to express support but of course india was trying to be the 4th nation just after the u.s. russia and china to make a successful soft landing on the morn so this is definitely a setback however india does have a very ambitious space program going forward as well for its stroll in the past the mandate had been to help out with agriculture to help out make meterological

predictions this attempt to be a part of the space treaty started on the very recently there's already been one more mission and there's been a mission to mars but there's also hope to set up for the missions and by mr moore the has hoped has expressed some hope to get a man on the moon by plane 22. all right well we don't know exactly what happened to the lander there's still a doing investigations about that but we do know that the tangerine 2 is still orbiting the moon so does this mean the mission is somehow continuing yes definitely the mission is continuing the scientists from a store have pointed out that this mission had 3 parts there was an orbital orlando and over the land is what the control room lost contact with and hence the rover as well but the all the door is going to continue orbiting the moon over the next you know it has all of these zend images off the lunar surface to draw was only

supposed to be functioning for about 14 days to collect information but the arbiter will continue orbiting the moon and perhaps even try to get images off the roof off the lander to find out what exactly happened as scientists continue to analyze the data all right now mission giants 12 reporting from delhi thank you very much indeed. now it's one of the biggest prizes an international cinema of the golden lion from the venice film festival this year's prize has been an announced and it's joker from american director todd phillips the film is the dark origin story of the batman villain starring what king phoenix in the title role it's the 1st golden lion for phillips as a director. well to talk more about venice film festival i'm joined in the studio by melissa holroyd from delhi culture hello to you melissa so joker gets the top prize do you think it deserves it. certainly look like it deserves it during the

screenings that got very long standing ovations during almost all of that screenings down there a large part of that was due to joaquin phoenix's outstanding performance as flick a mentally ill stand up comic who's taking care of his ailing mother and who ends up going down a very very dark path pinnock said he lost $52.00 pounds and started to go mad while preparing for the role that occasion which. he's always doing that work in phoenix is always diving into roles the film has a lot to say about mental illness and access to guns the act the inspiration for it is said to come from martin scorsese's taxi driver and king of comedy both which spotlight the dark side of american celebrity a big part of this film's punch is that it invites the audience to love the monster so it sounds like a very psychological film very dark i mean i suppose that resonated with a lot of people this time around all right let's talk about director todd philips

how important is this win for him it's very important todd phillips is best known for writing and directing the hangover films and for war dogs this is a very very important when the festival and especially the golden lion is really seen as a gateway to the oscars the winners of the last few years have done very well after winning venice of so cool wrongs road bomb went on to pick up 3 oscar is all right well there was some controversy at this year's festival in venice in particular over the inclusion of a film by a director roman polanski now polanski is wanted in the united states and statutory rape charges it stemming from something that happened in the seventy's many people were quite upset that his film was included in the festival how did this all play out in the end i think in the end it could be said that did a great job of publicizing his film. which was very very well received the

inclusion of polanski has of course you know been heavily criticized in this age of me too with people saying you know how come when we have only 2 female directors in the competition do we have you know do we have roman polanski there as well now melissa i know you've been sort of following the ins and outs of the festival what were some highlights for you well one of the films that absolutely has to be spoken about is the painted by chick to rector model who this is a film that has to be talked about because it was the arguably the most shocking film at the festival a lot of people walked out of the cinema but it's also been given rave reviews it's the 1st movie ever in slavic esperanto a created language the director said he didn't want to single group of people to be directly associated with these awful events it's set somewhere in eastern europe judy at the bloody clothes of the 2nd world war and it follows

a young jewish boy and his struggle to survive the movie was nearly 11 years in the making it's very very violent the director describes it as a timeless story that is not in fact a holocaust film it's rather about the struggle between darkness and light and good and evil. culture really great to hear all of your insights. and you're up to date now and italian is and they're in evanston thanks for watching. i'm secure in the by a war that's hard and in the end is a me you're not a latina and more who was into that. are you familiar with this. with the smugglers we're alliance and. what's your story. ready
