breached in the information agreement which ensures only from the school of oriental and african studies in the london says the case against iran is built on faulty logic the i.a.e.a. concern as it is stated in all its to poor since two thousand and three is that i cannot confirm that iran does not have any intention to build nuclear weapons and that is basically trying to prove a negative which is logically impossible you cannot prove that somebody does not want to do something and with the case of iran iran has allowed. time and again in the country the problem with iran seems to be its uranium enrichment program which is iran's inalienable right to nonproliferation treaty article thought and that seems to be the basis of all the problems that the us has run and the u.s.
12:24 am
wants iran to give up its uranium enrichment program altogether and only import nuclear fuel which is something that iran cannot accept and should not accept and i don't think that will accept in the future. think that's a cross over to the business desk and check all the markets with katie was the latest what's happening to you well not a lot of the asian markets open at the moment first of all just start by saying that yesterday in the u.s. we have the federal reserve meeting and you're really going to see how that really fills with rita all the markets how it really took on effect so let's get started with a cause that open for business at no cost hold called a very close to a holiday today so chinese stocks made gains yesterday and that is largely because of positive chinese manufacturing data if we look at the nikkei we can really say that is under pressure at the moment is one and
