restrict access to security cameras at nuclear sites it is clear that they won't get a put. as long as the united states has not come back to full implementation of its agreement so the fear is also demanding compensation for sanctions he claims caused one trillion dollars worth of damage to iran's economy. under the terms of the agreement with world powers reached in 2015 the i.a.e.a. can inspect nuclear facilities in the country at short notice but after the usa unilaterally withdrew from the deal and reimposed sanctions 2 years ago iran suspended compliance with most of its key commitments under the pact thank you so much the current us administration under joe biden has signaled it is open to rejoining the deal and lifting sanctions but the 2 countries both want the other to make the 1st move at least last summer grossi had struck a deal to allow inspectors to visit 2 suspected nuclear sites following months of

negotiation now he has passed the baton on to others my hope the hope of the 8 has been to be able to stabilize. which was unstable. and i think this technique and their standing does it so that other political consultations that. can take place. once more diplomats are on the clock with 3 months to find common ground right. now let's bring in. iran expert at the german council on foreign relations this is clearly progress but how likely is it a full common ground to be found. well it's progress in the sense that what we've seen last week a coming together of the other harkness of the iran nuclear deal the united states

france germany and the united kingdom to make progress and offer the talks and we haven't seen direct talks between the united states and iran over the past years on this and with the single willingness of the incoming united states president joe biden to enter into such talks this is an important moment and the i.a.e.a. the international atomic energy agency has hit the ground for these diplomatic negotiations not to take place so that's a crucial development of those last couple of days you mentioned the the ongoing negotiations just remind us of what state are those negotiations to salvage that nuclear deal. it's a bit difficult and as you mentioned in the clip both sides the united states and iran one of the other to move 1st one to lift sanctions and the other to go back

into compliance and this is where a possible 3rd party should come into play the europeans the european union is the guardian of this nuclear deal and they should find ways technical diplomatic ways sequencing so that both sides can claim victory as you will towards their nesting audience but on the substance they find together and this is one of just 3 window of treatment when the window of opportunity is for. so what do you think how credible are tehran's threats of standing back its commitment to the deal if the shot the sanctions lifted. they appear to be quite credible we have seen over the past 2 years and 2 and a half years ever since the united states has left the deal that tehran followed up on it's announced step by step they have reduced their commitments and even this is only a temporary extension they have

a lot of passed by parliament which obliges the government also and they have elections coming up by the summer a presidential election is due out and so they are also under some sort of pressure at the home front to live up to their words and as we have seen over the past years as i said they have done so so there is some pressure out there and the parties of the deal had better come together and negotiate they can all come back into compliance. from the german council on foreign relations thank you very much if the military in myanmar has a want to ante cool protesters that they risk their lives if they continue to demonstrate against military rule despite the threats thousands of protesters flocked to the streets and cities across the country including in the economic council young on where demonstrators chanted and called for a return to democracy shops and businesses were also shot on monday in

a general strike call to close the military siege of. earlier i spoke to kuala lumpur based journalist david going to bum who has many years experience reporting from myanmar and asked him if the general strike there was taking hold. yes this nationwide strike it is big it has a lot of momentum behind it a lot of major retailers have closed down including the largest supermarket chain in the country city market we've got restaurant chains both domestic brands and international brands of those down food delivery seems to be closed down a lot of mom and pop shops across the country completely closed down but i spoke to some contacts this morning in yangon and tell me when it comes on the number of demonstrators on the streets they expect today will see the largest number of demonstrators we've seen so far in yangon on and it's still early afternoon there so we have to see how these demonstrations develop throughout the day but when you look at the numbers we're seeing so far and you look at the video that's coming in from yet mandalay the 2nd biggest city in the country as well as other communities

they really seem to have just massive numbers of these protesters they are not backing down there were deadly incidents and mandalay over the weekend ah there's the young woman who died and may be da last week as well but they have not deterred the demonstrations they are committed to this movement against the military. the military. statement and it's. protesters on the inside to the people is specially emotional teenager isn't used to a confrontational. how significant is it for the protest movement. it's a very significant i mean there's nothing ambiguous about it it's a clear threat about the potential for them to step up with deadly force in mass numbers we've seen them use it in some isolated incident so far but they haven't used this particular case of mass numbers but these demonstrators are keenly aware that this is a military that in past circumstances such as 1988 in 2007 among others have opened

fire on large numbers of demonstrators so the question now is when with the line be crossed when the military would go that route again they know that that video and that information is going to get out fast it's a different world now that's much more connected compared to 98 in 2007 so the question is where is the line for the military to go that route because right now they clearly do not have control over the country so is there a point where they decide that's the only way they can establish control over the country. the longer this goes on the longer it seems that it's going to be tougher for them to come up with a peaceful way to resolve it you've got a military led by generals who have spent their entire don't lives in the very insular world of the me i'm army it's really just about all they know then you've got these demonstrators demonstrators and the public at large in myanmar that got a taste of democracy in recent years they saw the economic opportunities they've been going in recent years and they want that to keep moving or they don't want to

go back to military rule a military that will this country for roughly 50 years it was an economic disaster they don't want to go back to that but here's the other thing a lot of these demonstrators have not been working this entire month and then we're coaching the end of february and when we get to the end of february these people don't get paid are they going to be able to go another month mark without pay that's a big question here so next week could be a real got trapped for a lot of demonstrators. journalist dave. thank you sir thanks tom the other stories making headlines this hour. new zealand is marking 10 years since a devastating earthquake struck the city of christchurch prime minister just in the tributes to quite victims and a memorial ceremony in the city 185 people lost their lives in the making of one of the deadliest disasters in new zealand's history. united airlines has grounded

a year away these students in the u.s. city of chicago are getting a welcome back visit from the mayor who had to battle teachers' unions to get them back in class opening our schools or in person learning gives them a fighting chance to end this school year strong with the tools they need to heal recover and move past this moment many u.s. teachers say in school learning is still too dangerous but chicago is following the lead of other u.s. cities after a year in which lower income and minority students have fallen behind in distance learning you've suicides and domestic violence have also increased adding to a sense of urgency. israel is a dramatic example of a different improvisational strategy it closed schools last spring but rushed to reopen them in may and had a major coronavirus outbreak within days. the country is coming out of its 3rd

lockdown now. this time around they're reopening schools gradually trying to keep teachers and students safe. it's really fun to go back to school and i think it just brings joy to a lot of people. i just think is hard without seeing a lot of friends. some countries have taken the stance that education should be the highest priority even with much of public life shut down. so i don't really consider we know that schools are fundamental for children france has managed to keep schools open with strict health protocols i think i've asked the teachers and the pupils as i always do when i visit schools and they tell me how important it is for them. france is one of the countries that have tried to keep schools open as much as possible this high school outside paris is using onsite covert 19 testing to try to prevent the next outbreak. others

take classes outside as often as possible. there seems to be no one size fits all solution as countries wait for vaccinations to help avoid the same hard choices next school year. germany is also beginning to reopen its schools so for more let's bring in our political correspondent. standing in front of a primary school here in berlin and after weeks of homeschooling how the students parents and teachers feel today will you all. lots of mixed feelings about this cool reopening today especially given. the rise in the 7 days incidence rates which rose 261500000 inhabitants and this morning i talked to some parents who brought their kids right here in the behind me not primary school process let's listen to how do you feel about bringing their

kids back to school. i'm really happy that schools are opening again it's long overdue we've been waiting for this for a long time but despite the relief that comes with the reopening i'm disappointed that school learn to be open for 3 hours a day. this isn't proper school and the kids are the ones who will suffer as a result. as a mom if i'm not worried about the danger of infections for us as a family or for the kids but i do think that we have a joint responsibility as a society to stop the virus from spreading and i'm disappointed that politicians haven't figured out better solutions to kind of. relief there from berlin parents. numbers here in germany you've mentioned edging up ever so slightly in germany again is there a chance that schools will have to close again anytime soon. exactly

die would be to risk if we see for example the emergence of how the new hot spots an increased number of infections would lead to schools closure again even if i also had parents telling me this morning that schools are doing that to offer a safe classrooms for example there would be only 3 hours of classes today and no many small groups of children will be together and they will be. kept at a safe distance from one another 1.5 metres between each table they do have to wear a medical mask as well as an air filters which have been installed in some in some schools and well all those measures should have for you vent infections but of course this has been going on for more than a year and we've heard from the parents themselves they were expecting more measures being taken by petitions. about how bad is the damage that.

has. been. well in terms of education this important to note to no doubt schools were close physically close votes there was 2 classes all 9 classes being done by teachers so did you keisha and wasn't completely broken completely interrupted that parents had to take on the role of teachers and that's what has been one of the major difficulties and of course not everyone is equal depending on if both of the parents are working depending on the bottom a tiro is at stake even in this state block 5000000000 euros for the development of digital schooling by distributing tablets for kids for example but all of those measures are i'm not enough for example to hinder the damage done in terms of

socializing kids who aren't able to socialise as one another they were unable to do sports activities together all that damage still remains to be assessed. thank you very much and. the use foreign ministers meeting to discuss new sanctions against russia over its crackdown on opposition leader alexander he was handed to call from defeats over the weekend and now look for several years in jail the use push to punish the crime that follows what some called a disastrous trip to moscow earlier this month by the blocs foreign policy chief. the e.u. top diplomat insisted he had to find out face to face the kremlin's views on relations with the blog zis european union at this stage is an apartment but you know to russia expelled 3 e.u. diplomats while burrell was there which he admits he only learned from social media

after heavy criticism for his passive performance next to lever office laceration of the e.u. burrell says he's now convinced russian authorities are not interested in rob. danson. as in korea no they are not that led burrell to promise concrete proposals on tougher measures it will be for the member states to decide the next step but yes this could to impute sanctions the e.u. already has a wide range of sanctions on russian individuals and entities related for example to moscow's illegal 2014 annexation of crimea for supporting separatist activities in eastern ukraine and a for involvement in the august poisoning of alexina vani but the subsequent jailing of no volley after his return to russia as well as police brutality against print of only protesters has

a new government's pressing for harsher measures now lithuania has led that call those should be a personal sanctions or should be sanctions. to do the depression's against the opposition a letter signed by almost 170 politicians academics and activists this week urges e.u. leaders to use the new human rights sanctions mechanism known as the european magnitsky act to target the north stream to pipeline project and to include the russian president's wealthy inner circle that last option says former e.u. diplomat david still it would be a game changer but russia might then realize that the you also have these red lines and cannot be pushed beyond them and that will be a kind of a surprise for russians because finally they would see that their bluff policy doesn't work anymore it's unclear how close to the kremlin penalties will come this time around e.u.

officials say it's hard to prove all of dark spur sonali finance human rights abuses russia is threatening to cut ties with the e.u. if any new sanctions go forward with lever off warning russia wants peace but is prepared for war. i'm not joined by brussels brussels verjee so subtle phenomena to shed more light on this alexander you discussing sanctions russia threatening to sever diplomatic ties with the e.u. even using the word war the situation sounds very. yes indeed. serious you foreign policy chief oral stressed before the meeting of foreign ministers started that russia is so moving in a very confrontational direction and some foreign ministers made clear that they are in favor of sanction delay through onion foreign ministers said that now it's not the time to think of our interests in the region now we have to think of our

values and the as tanya and foreign minister also supported him by saying that it's important that the e.u. is speaking with one voice here so a serious situation and it's i think fair to say that the e.u. russia relations are at their lowest point in years but is now signaling they're ready to to not to accept russia's behavior and to impose further sanctions so these actions what kind of sanctions. against who. well we can expect saying sions against individuals and my understanding is that 1st of all we will see a political agreement that sanctions or the right path forward and then a e.u. agency will start working on a list of those individuals who are believed to be directly involved in alexina val nice incarceration and this is very important for the e.u.

that they have a clear evidence that those people have been involved so that their decision to impose sanctions against them cannot be a challenge in courts and when we talk about sanctions we mostly talk about asset freezes and travel bans so you these decisions require unanimity what is germany's position is it different from the majority no i don't think so the german foreign minister heikal mass stressed today upon his arrival in brussels that germany is supporting sanctions that the cannot accept the violation of international law he also said that germany's position is to keep up a constructive dialogue with the russia because as he said we need russia to solve international crisis but it seems that germany nevertheless is supporting this motion of imposing a 3rd there are sanctions against individuals in russia. in
