inner feelings. that air is sorted that who knew whose ruinous threadbare, no boss yet beyond the corner. while so lay he has not yet been convicted. dr. hamid gal hassan lou has already been sentenced to death. he was convicted of participating in the killing of the militia member at a protest in the city of corrosion. despite his denials, the doctor and his wife are arrested and beaten in the night. according to his brother who lives in amsterdam thought of then the hush michigan, and the 4 of his ribs of broken during dojo. ah, yes. one of the ribs injured his lungs and that caused and done her bleeding and injured building in the radiologist had to be operated on 3 times. his brother told us shortly after he woke up from the last operation. the 53 year old was sentenced to death. his wife was forced under torture,

potentially involve putting 20 people on the black list of travel bonds and asset freezes. clearly a lot of those people probably don't actually have an intention to travel into the european union or perhaps the assets here, but it will be symbolic. also, they'll do something similar to one entity. this is also over the protest since the since the death of masha mimi. but also now, since, since in iranian judgment, as part of those protests was, was executed in iran, which the european union broadly is completely against the death penalty anywhere. and is very concerned about this issue. now we won't know the exact details of what the sanctions that are put on ah, until the foreign ministers need. but we are pretty sure that they, that they will come into place. the question is, what does this mean for the broader context of the european union trying to pull iran on the united states back into the iran. you see the deal, which is intended to prevent iran from gaining access to an you can a weapon,

but which rum mean says then one's economic opening up to the rest of the world. and also the questions of its relations to russia. because sanctions have been placed on iran for sending drone equipment to russia to support it's a invasion of ukraine. the big question is, is what power can the sanctions have? neither iran nor rush effort for that matter have really changed that path or that ways in the way that the western powers would like them to no matter how many sanctions have been put on that as jack park speaking to us earlier. now we can bring you up to speed on some other stories making headlines around the world. hey, belgian police have arrested 5 people, including a european parliament, vice president in connection with a corruption pro give because of the greek socialist m. e. p. a for kylie was suspended by her party following her arrests. according to media report, police are looking into alleged influence, peddling 5 katara parliament. a court in moscow has found opposition. politician

brittany griner is back on us soil after being released from a russian penal colony. she touched down in san antonio, texas 10 months after being detained in moscow. in exchange for her release, the u. s. has handed over victor boot a russian arms dealer, accused of supplying weapons to al qaeda and the taliban, among others. and in us politics, arizona, senator kiersten cinema has announced that she is leaving the democratic party is comes just days after the democrats increased. their slim majority in the senate cinema will register as an independent and has emphasized that she will not sit with republicans. she also plans to continue our committee positions through the democrats and is expected to continue casting most of her votes with them. so here's what the white house has to say about cinema's move. the way we see it in understanding it does not changed a new democratic majority of control of the senate. and we have every reason to expect that we will continue to work with her successfully. so the white house

saying there that's and i must move, won't change anything. here is did of these carolina troy from washington? yes, claire, they are probably right. the democrats will still have a slight majority in the senate, even if cinema does not vote. as a democrat cinema has not specifically said that she will still caucus with the democrats, but she has said that she won't vote with republicans. and this means that democrats will probably still hold to the majority of 51 to 49 in the upper chamber . however, even if a cinema continues to cast most of her votes with the democrats, she will probably also separate herself on certain issues like we have already seen in the past. let's keep in mind that as she has always voted in an independent manner defending some party priorities, like for example, same sex marriage but also opposing others like a minimum wage increase seen him or herself. m has he cleared in a video where she was announcing her decision that nothing is going to change for

her. we know that she is also still holding her democratic committee assignments, as you just mentioned. and effectively this means that she will be probably an independent, probably aligned with democrats, like other senators, like bernie sanders from a vermont or angles king from maine. so if we're not expecting a big change in the way that she votes, what you think the motivation here is? is it just deep dissatisfaction with partisan politics or are these personal interests to play so hard? seems to be a personal decision. sen, cinema said in an interview at that this decision reflects that she has never really fit perfectly in either national party and that the most extreme voice is continued to drive each party towards the fringes. that is what she criticizes. she also mentioned that politicians are more focused on denying the position party of victory than they are on improving american slaves. and that is why the were

elected into, into the senate. it's still not clear though, if hers is also a political decision, because she has not confirmed yet that she will run or if she wait right, will run in 2024. but politically, it would make sense probably, and advisors as say so because the past the midterm elections have shown that 40 percent off the voters in arizona called themselves independent voters. and therefore she would have a quite a support there in her own state in arizona. thank you so much for that, update that seat of your correspondent carolina moore in washington dc. ah. time for world cup news and 5 time of winners. brazil are out of the tournament inc. a chart after listening to croatia in the quarter finals, croatia held their nerve to win on penalties after a tense period of extra time. meaning that brazil's wait for a 1st world cups is 2002 continuous. the crowd inside the education
