yes to security cameras at nuclear sites it is clear that they won't get a foot. as long as the united states has not come back to full implementation of its agreement so the fizz 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 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. and stable. i think these techniques and their standing does it. so that other political culture bases on other levels can take place a venture to use one small diplomats are on the clock with 3 months to find common ground. let's get some perspective on the story now we can speak to ali for tolan a johnnie's an iran expert also the author of the upcoming book iran and an emerging new world order from the 2 rouhani alley thank you for joining us so the fact that inspections can continue in some form is being seen as laying the groundwork for restarting nuclear talks as a bridge of sorts a do you think this is

a step in that direction well absolutely because what the iranian strategy is basically is the unilateral withdrawal of the tribe administration of the united states in may 2800 from the j.c. pure 8 is this maximum resistance strategy and this is actually centered on. reconstituting the position that iran had a decade ago you know during the nuclear conflict back then that is to ask the late its nuclear program in order to gain leverage is a view or in view of potential talks with the united states so hence we're seeing less than one step after another toward that scene goldstraw for the international community to or choice between bombing iran were an iranian nuclear bomb whereas iran is still we believe you know what independent experts as well as israeli military intelligence 2 years away from the sun are so until now all of you know

all of this playing out according to what the iranians have been planning to put the pressure on the west to create a sense of urgency right so this maximum pressure strategy i mean what is iran expecting to get in return from this new u.s. administration with joe biden the white house. well i mean iran has oncet a leader you know interested in getting rid of those onerous sanctions that have been really posed by the trombetta stray shouldn because iran is facing tremendous pressure at home there is still a lot of public discontent and there is an economic crisis that has been exacerbated norms produced by the sanctions so this is you know the aim of the entire iranian leadership to see those sanctions eased and lifted on to the nuclear program is iran celebratin bargaining chip towards that or. if i

tell the need to add an iran expert. thank you so much for joining us. the u.n. secretary general and 20 of the technicians calling on mars military to immediately halt its campaign of repression he also demanded the release of hundreds of prisoners detained since the february 1st coup thousands of pro-democracy protesters against flooded the streets of major cities today as a general strike shut down businesses across the country the marches continue despite threats of lethal force from the military rulers. rallies across the country despite threats of violence ahead of monday's general strike myanmar's military rulers raised the stakes warning demonstrators they were risking their lives if they continued their quote riot and anarchy undeterred tens of thousands again flocked to the streets in the biggest act of defiance yet seen in this

standoff. was. scenes like this have been nonstop since a coup ousted democratically elected leader aung sun suu kyi 3 weeks ago the killing of 3 people by police has only served to make many protesters move defiant many have called their jobs on hold to keep up the fight and they say it's worth the cost. today is a day for countrywide protest we don't want to stay under the control of a military dictatorship so we came here to join the protest regardless of last salaries nothing will happen to me if my salary is cut but if we stay under the control of a military dictatorship we'll become this slaves that. you know. it's a sentiment felt in all corners of the country in the capital naypyidaw the same

protesters were shot over the weekend where you are in mandalay what exactly does that make you think that you and your fellow activists while you continue to go out into the streets. to. do this to you because. innocent blood has been stealing and we don't want to be you know for nothing so we have to queue fighting to get to we get the democracy. are you worried about what the consequences might be for. your former. military has been threatening people. don't leave forces. we know that free anymore because these are the same things to do you have tried you know 988. techniques and we are will be pre-prepared

so we are not afraid anymore at the same time there is also a nationwide strike a strike today tell us more about that approach and how that's affecting businesses across the country. well shaun's and visits business has being closed for today and. i see that. terms of thousands of people are distributing to you in this protest so this sends a very big message today. that we're not going to take their rule any more and do so also since sent a message to the whole world that we have as soon as you know our voices and we will committed to to do studio and. sam it seems like neither side is backing down here do you think there is still a window for a peaceful resolution to this crisis you know people calling for an

absolute delusion of the military junta. for me personally i feel like i do need to because of the of being. responsible for so many evil and suffering of many people so yeah presently i don't i don't see any compromise having with the with the hunter. will have to leave it there sam an activist joining us from me and mark thank you thank you thank you for having me. time for a roundup of some other world headlines now investigations are underway after 2 separate incidents involving jet engine fires on boeing planes over the weekend in the netherlands at least one person was injured after debris fell from a $747.00 cargo jet and in the u.s. large sections of a triple 7 engine fell on a residential neighborhood boeing is now recommending the grounding of more than $100.00 triple 7 jets worldwide. the rescue team had to save 10 people from

floating patches of ice in the usa of ohio over the weekend the group of adults and children got stuck in open water on lake erie the ice was originally connected to land but then broke off from the shoreline. germany is tentatively reopening its classrooms after months of home learning 10 of the country's 16 states are reintroducing in person lessons it's mainly early primary school students who are heading back most will only spend a few hours in classes and will have to wear masks for that entire time and we spoke to some parents here in berlin who have nix perspectives on whether the timing is right. for me 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. i was a year from not worried about the danger of fiction 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 and for good let's get some perspective on this now with. he's the director for education and skills at the organization for economic cooperation and development in paris welcome to the show we just heard there from some parents who are disappointed here in germany with the government and we know that there are different approaches so france has kept schools open during this lockdown so given that do you think it was the right decision for germany to close schools for so many months now. it's always a difficult tradeoff between you know the helps and educational considerations but i do think we need to be aware of the high social costs that school closures have

for us for children and that's why you know i value country if you know like france and italy and to some extent even spain that you know despite very difficult pandemic contexts have given education absolute priority particularly for small that children digital alternatives don't really exist and education is a very social relational process that it's very hard to replace by other means it is hard to replace but it has been more than a year since the pandemic started so has schooling at home actually improved during this time as we've learned more. you know i do think you know there have been you know technologies are being used more systematically and so on but i do think we understand the limitations for older children yes you can use technology you can use you know remote learning distance learning all of those kinds of methods but when it comes to it in kindergarten and to primary school great stares very little

in terms of alternatives i think that's what we also figured out in just one year that's why the opening of those grades is really of fundamental importance and you know sometimes it's quite astounding even you know for kindergarten when we talk about opening them we 1st talk about you know what it means for parents to work we rarely talk about the needs of children let's talk about the needs of children you said there are high social costs what are the most damaging effects when schools are closed. well there's obviously learning lost a tickler leave for children and students from disadvantaged backgrounds who do not have access to. alternative resources who may not have the parents who can support them and so on that's the learning loss is there but for the children also school is a very important social reference point that's where you meet your friends didn't say you socialize that's why you learn to live in in today's world and i think that is as least as important as social and emotional support that students get in that

environment is at least as important as the learning losses if we look at the learning loss is what can be done to try and make up for some of those educational gaps what i think absolutely important and those children from disadvantaged backgrounds are not the priority now when school capacity is limited cannot have the regular size of class a social distancing requires sort of put up the capacity constraints in those circumstances it's really really important to give up sort of priority to those children who do not have good alternatives it may need having additional instruction in the kind of occasion that i think there's a lot that education can do to recuperate the most important events called our closed is that every learner has a direct and daily contact with the educators you cannot replace that very interesting and last i said director for education and skills at the organization for economic cooperation and thanks for joining us on. thank you.

now e.u. foreign ministers are meeting to discuss whether to slap fresh sanctions on russia over the jailing of opposition leader alexa in a volley all signs point to the e.u. taking a tough stance this latest move to punish the kremlin follows what some called a disastrous trip to moscow by the block's foreign policy chief yourself what a. he used top diplomat insisted he had to find out face to face the kremlin's views on relations with the bloc zis european union at this stage is an unreliable partner whom 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.

dance. 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 include sanctions the e.u. already has a wide range of sanctions on russian individuals and entities related for example to moscow's illegal 2014 an accession 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 prone of protesters has e.u. governments pressing for harsher measures now lithuania has led that call should be a personal sanctions or should be sanctions that this be to do the depression's against the opposition a letter signed by almost $170.00 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 officials say it's hard to prove all of a 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. well ahead of the e.u.

foreign ministers meeting in brussels german foreign minister heikal mosque gave his backing to new russia sanctions. here in brussels today we will discuss whether to order the imposition of new sanctions on russia in particular as a result of the conviction of alexina vandy on the fact that he has to serve his sentence in a penal colony. i am in favor of ordering the preparation of additional sanctions listing specific individuals. let's bring in our brussels bureau chief alexander fun and high alexandra what kind of measures are we likely to see here and against him. the european union is likely to impose travel bans and asset freezes against individuals that are believed to be directly involved in politics in of on these convictions and and incarceration and who is also expected to use it's

a new sanctions regime that allows the block to go after human rights abusers so we're probably talking about people in judiciary prosecutors judges for the european union this in order to make sure that they have a clear evidence that those individuals were directly responsible for alexina bonus incarceration so that sanctions against them cannot be overturned in the courts but the sentients would require unanimous a unanimous support is that likely. yes it seems that all ministers all member states are on board even russia friendly countries like for example hungry germany as we just heard is also supporting further sanctions even though the german foreign minister said that germany is still is still would like to do you know to try ways to to make it possible to work with russia on

international issues so dealing with russia is definitely a balancing act let's have a listen to what the german foreign minister had to say. the same time we have to look for ways to maintain a dialogue with moscow. we need russia to solve many international conflicts. so one question they will have to occupiers is how is it possible to maintain a constructive dialogue with russia even the relations between the e.u. and russia are certainly not an all time low at the moment. the solution i am to you. oh it's underway heard it there maintain dialogue but russia is threatening to break off ties with the e.u. is that a threat that brussels needs to take seriously. well i think that brussels takes it seriously but brussels also knows that russia cannot be actually interested really

seriously interested in breaking off ties with the european union and russia's foreign minister lavrov has already softening his tone seeing that sanctions want to prevent a rush hour from deepening investment partnerships with e.u. member states. member states account for more than 40 percent of russia's trade turn out and of course it's possible that russia could decide to break off ties with the e.u. institutions but how can you maintain good relations with the e.u. member states if you don't have any relations with the european union with the european commission for example so we will have to wait and see how russia is really going to react to those expected new sanctions are brussels bureau chief alexandra phenomena reporting on the very latest there thank you so much. but just like a football now rb leipzig have closed the gap on leaders byron munich just $2.00

secured a comfortable 3 no victory against terror to berlin in a match that included another contender for goal of the season. weekend had already started well for uni inaugurals men's like sake before they'd even kicked a ball by ns defeating frankfurter welcome boost for this bunch and they made sure to capitalize in berlin. i must sell sabots scoring a goal you could fall in love with. it was the sweetest of strikes from the light sea captain this goal was all that separates he decides going into halftime. but leipzig were determined to pile on the heartbreak in the 2nd half. made it to be a long 17 minutes past his material can do z. punished for getting too cozy with the ball inside his own area.

april this year that was an agreement made with the government in kabul and the taliban but with the country's security situation still unstable that's no longer likely to happen peace talks have proved slow progress large parts of afghanistan are under taliban control many experts fear the government would succumb to pressure from the islamist group should foreign soldiers pull out of the country terror attacks like the recent murder of 2 female judges have left many here fearing the worst. we're out and about in kabul with. the city is one of the most dangerous places in the world the taliban carry out attacks practically every day women journalists and judges are gunned down in the street no one feels safe. the 26 year old still drives her car herself but the businesswoman and model knows that she could become

a target. customer i'm frightened of the security situation has deteriorated so much it's become much more dangerous to drive through kabul especially for women if we leave our car somewhere we're afraid that they'll catch magnetic bombs to them there are attacks everywhere and we're afraid of being kidnapped. afghanistan is a nation at war even city streets are patrolled by heavily armed forces and anyone traveling across the country passes military vehicles and checkpoints. we were only able to film them from the car because the soldiers also feared rebel attacks. showed up never thinkers on the street long things have to be quick. she's afghanistan's best known model and appears before the camera without a veil. she embodied. as the attitude to life of modern young afghan women.

doctors made a name for herself as an influencer and has 223000 followers on instagram. the photos convey an image of women that is unacceptable to the taliban in recent months in particular she's received repeated death threats. afghanistan is at a crossroads and that worries hand. attacks muslim a battle i fear that if the taliban join the government will lose everything that we've achieved over the last few years in this country i studied abroad i came back to open a business to model what if we lose our freedom again and we women are forced to stay at home again then i'll have to leave my country. on somebody. practically nothing can be taken for granted in kabul and most certainly not a yoga class. tuss once to help women achieve in a balance in

a country that has been at war for 5 decades. in 201648 montage opened her own yoga studio despite much resistance in particular from religious fanatics now she has more than 100 female students and afghan success story on a matter of what i practice yoga has no connection with social traditions here. i'm more concerned with seeing what people need to hossam yoga i showed them yoga and these people really need yoga like many us. the women stretching on their yoga mats today are students office workers how makers and all rather courageous. the yoga studio continues to receive threats from the taliban who say you. an islamic and afghan women should not be doing exercise anyway. but these

women are not frightened away by the threat and for a mom task refuses to be intimidated. me i am. here to quote show afghan women want to decide for themselves what jobs they do. they want to decide what they learn where they travel and who may marry. afghan women want to determine their own futures. and afghan women are not just same as the ones the taliban faced 20 years ago we saw sure nice. the only way to stop us is to kill us. even if you know every lunchtime mom turns cooks at home with her family her 5 children and her husband support the 43 year old's work her mother is also proud of the fact that her daughter is well known even beyond the borders of afghanistan. but the yoga teacher only agrees to be filmed at home

or in the yoga studio and not out on the street. we had a range to meet her once before a year ago but then she suddenly received death threats from the taliban and had to close her studio temporarily. can't that eva one of my session or some other very prominent religious people began to comment on our work. so. i had time for toys and on our photos. but there's a well known declared jihad holy war on os x. i got mad that i make sank into the a.t.m. a photo on the wall shows for doing yoga exercises as a child yoga has become a family rituals she practices with her mother every day. the 73 year old likes to be inspired by new ideas. in the

center of kabul. recently opened her own store she's the boss and his staff. influencer model and business woman has created her own fashion label she has seized the opportunities that have opened up for women over the past 20 years. for her western involvement in afghanistan has been a success story she says a complete pullout of u.s. troops would be a very bad idea. i think now would not be a good time for the americans to leave. the situation we currently face is totally uncertain. and the americans should at least stay until everything is sorted out just isn't. i know is that what happens in the coming months will decide whether hootie can stay open there is a lot at stake for afghan women at the moment never in the last 20 years has their

freedom been so it rests. 2908000000000 tons worth of coal mined globally most was used to fuel the world's 2500 power stations. many buildings are still heated with furnace is and coal is still a common fuel used for cooking but the consequences are disastrous according to the w.h.o. every year around the globe around 7000000 people die from exposure to polluted air . and coal burning is also playing havoc with our climate. kyrgyzstan's capital bishkek is notorious for its smog on some winter days even merely breathing in the local air can be hazardous 'd. coal is selling like hotcakes in the city of bishkek winter temperatures into. capital

average minus 6 degrees celsius coal is an essential good because homes in the suburbs aren't connected to the city's central heating network. people buy a lot of these sometimes 20 bags at once. you can see there are private houses all around here and they all heat with coal and. bishkek made headlines several times this winter for being the number one most polluted city according to an international air quality ranking people here say the smog is a problem every year in the cold season. is just a whim bishkek that the skies like this when you leave the city the skies clear. it's due to the negligence of the government and public officials no one is monitoring the situation and the smog is a direct consequence of that if you are good i think it's just fog it's definitely

because of the winter season you can't really be pollution were. the view from above the city tells a different story bishkek lives in a valley and smaug covers it like a lead. authorities admit they don't know why the pollution is this bad the country's prime minister recently said the city's mainly coal powered heating plant could be responsible for up to 20 percent of the missions the government looked into switching to gas but declared gas prices to be too high for now even representatives from public utilities are pushing for change. these problems need to be solved on a governmental level. i think that instead of worrying about the economy the health of our citizens should be the top priority because the smog and particles straight into our lungs and can cause respiratory diseases which are very dangerous. these air quality sensors regularly show that the concentration of cancerous particles in

the air is several times higher. they are than the norm and nongovernmental foundation has been having them installed on private homes since the end of last year there are now $25.00 monitors up and running in and around bishkek. people are tired of living with this it's the 4th year the smog situation is like this and there's no solution in sight the 1st year the authorities totally ignored the situation and said the air is actually fine but now they can't ignore the problem anymore by installing these monitoring devices giving people the possibility to complain to the government about quality. but environmental activists feel the city authorities are all talk and no action they're protesting against the city's latest urban planning projects they say new buildings are blocking the wind and locking the smart inside the city. these projects are only in the interest of the construction of the building contractors and. in other

countries they would have declared an emergency situation by now but here they just pretend nothing is wrong when you put the. government environmental and safety inspectors regularly check the boilers in the city and the quality of the coal they use today they're inspecting the heater at a local school even many public institutions still heat with coal. ordinary people will kill heating with coal that is the most cost effective way. we can't ban the use of coal in the winter people have to live they have to cook. once everyone has access to a gas connection into an affordable electricity supply there won't be smog here anymore. but kyrgyzstan's gas provider of the russian company raised prices in 2020 and economic difficulties driven by the coronavirus

pandemic mean many people just can't afford to switch to gas so for now the move away from coal and this layer of smaug fields far off. the effects of climate change are all focus in this week's global ideas too in the philippines they're becoming increasingly noticeable. motors islands are home to 100000 people many of whom and living. with the local ecosystem changing fishermen are being forced to adapt and that's not always. the. image. i've been fishing for a long time for more than 25 years and. it's been raining since midnight

it's too dangerous to take the boat out. but we fishermen have observed how the weather has changed the strong easterly winds that we see right now should have passed by now. but it's possible they'll continue until march. that's when they stop last year the weather no longer follows the usual pattern. the rainy season used to engine january and february used to be one of the driest months of the year climate change has changed all that fishermen have to be very attuned to the weather and notice every shift in deviation. conan sarah nina has 4 children 2 have already left home his wife jocelyn tells us they have managed to raise a family even if food that is fish has sometimes been scarce. and

a half. now that's what we get from the sea. and a source of income. that we were able to send our children to school and i'm so you know like a new one on me and i'm very proud of that that my husband and i never went to school but it just wasn't possible. later in the morning the weather improved. calling someone you know soon caught 2 large fish he'll sell the red snapper. it weighs more than 5 kilos.
