in france after police beat up a black music producer as he tries to enter his studio. president back home condemns the incident as an unacceptable attack. and the human cost of ethiopia's conflict, thousands of refugees left without basic sanitation and with little food. the country's prime minister describes international calls for dialogue, interference in ethiopian affairs. i make spicer welcome to the program. iran's president has reacted defiantly to the killing of a leading nuclear scientist. and he blamed israel for the assassination of books and factories. the man suspected of masterminding, a secret nuclear weapons program. rouhani said his death showed what he called the

depth of the enemy's despair. and said it would not slow down iran's nuclear ambitions. a country right in the heart of iran, transformed into a scene of horror. the images are too graphic for us to show. body parts lie scattered in a bloody end to a controversial life. top scientists mock suffocate, the day perished. in what seems like a targeted attack. a car carrying him was shot at and about 15 seconds later. and the sound pickup truck loaded with explosives blew off about 15 to 20 meters away from its cars. but the inflicted wounds on him that led to his mosque state may describe him as an eminent nuclear scientist. but he was also a member of the powerful revolutionary god whose job is to preserve the country's cleric dominated system. this, a refined opium with other senior officials in the country's supreme leader

indicating just how powerful a role he played in tehran was to program because he was program, which as you know, is part of an international dispute. if this role that night enemies in 20 attain israel's prime minister accused iran of covering up and ongoing nuclear program could project a model. even after promising world leaders it had stopped pursuing the ball. a key part of the plan was to form new organizations to continue the work. this is how doctorow move soon, fox news of the head of project about put it. remember the name focus of the iran now says it has indications. israel is responsible for the killing of the nuclear scientist. technology in his death has damaged its defenses and is vowing revenge. and for insight on this, i'm joined by good. it was time for an expert on the middle east and the german institute of international and security affairs. welcome to the program. you know,

iran is blaming israel here and as we saw factors that it has clearly been on israel's radar for some time. but what do you think prompted the killing now? well, i think it's, it's no surprise that the israelis would want the head of the iranian nuclear program to have already assassinated nuclear scientists between 201-2012 in the last phase of escalation between iran and israel. but i think the major reason right now is that they still have the support of the trump administration politically, but perhaps also operationally and they want to make it the israelis want to make it as hard as possible for president elect biden. to start negotiations with the iranians next year. and ron has a vow to retaliate. what kind of form could that take or

the iranians have retaliated in the past in 2012. i believe that the israeli attacks stopped when iranians. 'd and their allies, mainly lebanese hezbollah attacked civilian israeli targets, so that the israeli government decided that the price was too high for israeli civilians to pay for these s.s. and nations. and i believe something similar might follow. the revolutionary guards might also want to attack american american or israeli targets, but in most cases, at least western countries, they are too weak to target hardened. well protected targets. you were saying just earlier that one of the targets was the scientists of course, but also the policy of president elect joe biden,

as i think the united states plans to, to reenter the iran nuclear know, how does this make things more complicated? well, the iranian side will have to prove internally, especially to the powerful revolutionary guards that they are not giving in to the pressure campaign by the tribe ministration. it will make it extremely hard, took this pressure campaign, and this event will make it extremely hard to convince the iranian leadership that it's worthwhile to negotiate with the united states is specially because major parts of the iranian elite believe anyhow, that the united states israel and the west in general, do not want them to have a peaceful nuclear program. ok, no steinberg from the german institute of international and security affairs. thanks so much. let's have

a look now at some of the other stories making headlines this hour in what some military analysts are calling an unusual move. the united states is sending its u.s.s. nimitz aircraft carrier back into the persian gulf, just weeks after it had left. the defense officials say the carrier is returning to the region to support u.s. troops as they withdraw from afghanistan and iraq. a federal appeals court has rejected an attempt by u.s. president donald trump's legal team to block president elect joe biden from being declared the winner of the pennsylvania vote count state certified biden's victory by more than 80000 votes. earlier this week, ruling is another blow to trump's bid to overturn the results of the presidential election. hundreds of protesters have taken to the streets of the chilean capital, santiago, demanding access to their pensions. they blocked the main roads and tried to reach the presidential palace as follows, the government's request to revoke a bill,

allowing people to withdraw up to 10 percent of their pension funds. early french president has described the beating of a black man by police officers as an unacceptable attack that shamed his country. music producer was trying to enter his paris studio when 4 police agents started punching him. instead, it was caught on camera is comes amid a nationwide debate about a new bill designed to restrict the filming of police while on duty. it is a disturbing video. 3 french police officers beating up a black man for 5 minutes in his own music studio. what the police officers don't know, michel is it clearly has a security camera in the lobby. the entire scene is caught on film. it is sad to say, but my client was lucky to have

a video to report these acts which may be isolated, but still happy to exist. otherwise, my client would have been detailed when it's his word against the officers. we know very well that it's the words of the officers that carry more weight, and they would see a pattern that initially played out in the case of michelle, the clay. he was arrested and detained for 48 hours until the security footage showed up. the 3 police officers only left the building after musicians from sickly studio in the basement, heard the noise and rushed to help. but even then, it wasn't over another officer through tear gas into the lobby, forcing sickly to go outside to see clay needed to hospital treatment for his wounds. but the physical violence was only part of the assault that used the n. word repeatedly. he looked me in the eyes and punch me. this comes as demonstrators

in france, protest, a proposed law to limit the filming of police on june 18th. the legislation is designed to protect police officers from being harassed or attacked, went off. critics of the bill argue that it will make it harder to hold officers accountable if they use excessive force, especially if they deny it. it's clear the officers in this case lied about the incident. in their reports, they claim the music producer attempted to grab their weapons and that he resisted . the interior minister addressed the issue on french television. have asked for the police officers to be suspended at the moment. the judiciary is investigating. as soon as we have all the facts are ordered the dismissal as they put a stain on the uniform of the republic to me, shows it clearly file charges against the police officers. now the district attorney is investigating the officers for use of force on duty and false testimony
