buildings the residents of the president we will be followed in the most as they march through the streets. the united states is claiming that u.n. sanctions against iran are now back in force although washington's allies have rejected the unilateral move saying it has no legal basis secretary of state mike one passes a range of penalties are being considered for those who violate the restrictions we need sheeted the snapback process to restore virtually all previously terminated un sanctions if united nations member states feel to fulfill their obligations to implementing these sanctions the united states is prepared to use our domestic authorities to impose consequences for those failures and ensure that iran does not read the benefits of un prohibited activity france germany and the united kingdom know that the u.s. ceased to be a participant to the j. c.p.o. a following their withdrawal from the deal on the 8th of may 2018 consequently the
11:05 am
purported notification is incapable of having legal effect we remain guided by the objective of upholding the authority and integrity of the united nations security council. the original un sanctions covered iranian enrichment as well as the buying and selling of conventional weapons they were lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal however in 2018 the trump administration withdrew from the pact washington says it is taking action now because an arms embargo on iran expires in october iran's president hassan rouhani has denounced the move saying his country will never give in to pressure and the iranian foreign minister accused washington of violating international law. my being on the international community must decide by itself whether to stand up to the bullying unfortunately due to the us influence on financial markets they could apply pressure with financial sanctions of course those applying the sanctions say we did that even though we know they are illegal
11:06 am
since they're powerful but it's they haven't noticed that the same principles will work for them too. we heard from political analysts hard as ali who thinks the u.s. is isolated and its approach to. not in the park it's going to accept that premise. the u.s. is isolated in the unusual manner and what's going to happen is that the u.s. is going to use force to pressure other countries to accept legal interpretation of the un resolution 2231 and a few countries are going to accept that the u.s. has a history of mongering so you always have to be careful but the united states foreign policy so we have this. conflict escalating if we hope that president is not interested in the dog.

scenario if he is behind the polls he should know better not to engage in any military activities against iran advances by the both. russian opposition figure how the next in the mali is recovering at a hospital in berlin after coming out of an induced coma last week he says he wants to return home as soon as possible when all the diplomatic standoff between moscow and berlin over his alleged poisoning has only gotten worse on monday germany said labs in sweden and france have independently verified that number only it was poisoned by a nerve agent of the know which showed group the global chemical weapons watchdog is also analyzing samples russia has demanded that information on the case be shared with them but so far to no avail. with their excuses are completely contrived germany says it can't tell us anything in direct to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons we've been to the o.p.c.

w several times and they say talk to berlin we are ready to talk to anyone but not when in the absence of facts we are pressured into giving an account of ourselves on the basis of specific clearly formulated concerns we are always ready to have a professional conversation. russia insists its doctors found no trace of know a child or any other poison while the molly was in their care law school has repeatedly stressed its willingness to cooperate with germany to establish exactly what happened art is a doll of looks at the controversy surrounding the case. alexina valley is recovering whatever it was killing his body is on retreat and the politician seems to be almost out of these woods so concerns over his health make room for concerns over what exactly happened and europe is demanding that russia aids the investigation installations arise which only the russian government can and must answer we continue calling us here to just to get our demand is that russia
11:09 am
urgently explain what happened well russia has already contributed by not letting alexina valmy die in the 1st crucial hours after the politician fell sick russia contributed by opening its airspace to a team of german doctors letting them visit russia contributed by eventually putting him on a german rescue plane allowing the value to be airlifted to berlin and by offering its medical data to german colleagues so now russia says the ball is in germany's court moscow current aid the investigation if it's kept in the dark on emerging evidence to the press with enough when it all all this is taking place against the backdrop of facts that our proposals to berlin to jointly sort out what happened i've been dismissed and a far fetched pretext that's hurdles are brought into the race because berlin starts playing a game of all take and no give russia can get the results of the expertise
11:10 am
made in german labs since it will reveal too much of the german army's capabilities too much but only to russia's eyes apparently because berlin had no problem with sharing its data with almost 200 other nations member states of the or b c w we are very negatively the fact that germany refusing to assist the russian law enforcement agencies secretly transferred no boundaries test data to its trusted partners it is clear that this was done with a political purpose. so that france and sweden would automatically confirm unfounded accusations against russia but wait russia is a member state of the o.p.c. w. and that means it finally has all the time in the world to scrupulously study everything the germany could find right or wrong the only thing that it actually means is that russia can hop on the merry go round of rejections because berlin tells moscow it
11:11 am
can get everything from the or b c w and the o p c w saying the exact opposite bumping russia right back to berlin russia is in a loop which doesn't really help o.p.c. w.'s reputation with moscow as russia had previously accused the un bad watchdog of becoming politicized by your p.c. don't you like so many international concessions it's always great to be subject to political pressure and that's critically from of course those the funded largely funded that's largely the western powers we've seen with the p.c. to abuse role in investigating alleged chemical attacks in syria but its investigations have tended to ascribe blame have been riddled with inconsistences and problems that will not rise in independent investigation but that there appears to be scope for political interference and

pressure to take close we saw a similar situation in respect to the case where. it was very reluctant to share its information with russia in respect of it what do you have to discover in terms of chemical analysis and so on giving no access to evidence keeping waters murky playing every bureaucratic trick in the book this is how the e.u. is shutting out russia's investigators also raising the sanctions guillotine over the country almost like it wants to know investigation from russia but in immigration admission of guilt. later this video was posted on the vollies instagram account it shows his team searching his hotel room in toms shortly after the volley fell sick wearing surgical gloves they collect evidence and plastic bags which according to the post were passed on to the german authorities one of the water bottles they submitted was said to contain traces of novia choke but one of the co-creators of that very nerve agent leonid rink claims if it was used in

a ball it would never have even made it to the playing. wouldn't have been able to leave the hotel that's if it was no majok and he really touched it or drank something 1st of all even in smaller not very toxic doses not virtual provokes pupil contraction in such a way a person would be almost blind so could barely move so even with only very mild exposure he wouldn't have been able to get on a plane there are photos of him in the hotel in the plane in the russian hospital and yet we can't see any of the symptoms poisoning and novacek not words to use for this case. just that they definitely would get something they had just simple surgical gloves and that's it and also imagine a bottle that has traces of the substance on the outside it would be a very smart person who would try to fill a bottle with such

a dangerous liquid and spill it all down the signs creating a dangerous situation for everyone. a small group of wealthy nations has already secured more than half of the invision future supply of coded $1000.00 vaccines and according to a report by the oxfam charity means that only 13 percent of the world's population will initially have access to the much sought after drug max loss and the head of oxfam's inequality policy division says this is a consequence of pharmaceutical companies seeking to maximize profits it's extremely dangerous for the world because rich nations monopolizing the supply of a potential. but more importantly they're doing deals with big corporation which are defending their intellectual property and their profits meaning the soup lawing of banks being artificially limited. oxfam says there

won't be enough vaccines to meet global demand the final leading vaccine candidates for which nations across the world sealed a deal are currently undergoing the final stage of clinical trials however even if all 5 proved to be a success which according to the charity is extremely unlikely around 2 thirds of the world's population will still have to wait till at least 2022 on top of potential drug shortages also says the vaccine deals lay bare the inequality between prosperous and developing countries. for example the u.k. has managed to scare secure up to 5 doses per person depending of course on how the trials go off in bangladesh and this is a stark contrast to figure is only one dose per 9 people like sauce and again says that prolonged and availability of the vaccine in some countries will result in many unnecessary deaths companies like their own are in the us are only sending their vaccine to very rich countries they're selling it at
11:16 am
a very high price somewhere between $16.00 and $35.00 a dose and you have to have 2 doses so that's like $70.00 per person so they are buried clear that they are there doing this to make a profit and they want to make money from this vaccine what we're saying is we need a people's backs not a profit vaccinated we need to see. the breaking down of the patent barriers and we need to see open sharing your vaccine technology to maximize its applause safe and effective vaccines all over the world as soon as possible the huge economic and human cost of. a live aid ability the vaccine if you think of countries like india or south africa or brazil if these countries are not getting access to safe and effective saying until 2022 then they would have more lockdowns their economies would be huge trouble or many many people would dog who do not need to because the

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going from duration let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back to the weekly the shortage of covert 1000 testing in the u.k. has led teachers to question the safety of reopening schools as peoples and staff
11:19 am
are among those struggling to get checked our correspondent allan house story. it wasn't so long ago that seamier british politicians were promising that it was safe for children to finally go back to school i think the crucial thing is that pupils get back to school it's much much better for their for their health and mental wellbeing their jobs their educational prospects we've made it clear this is compulsory parents do need to be sending their children back to school all the scientific advice is that schools are safe it's only a few weeks into the new terminal ready those claims are coming unstuck one teaching union is warning that education secretary gavin williamson may face legal action because they say schools were opened without proper safeguards being put in place teachers a sounding the alarm but a chronic lack of testing facilities means that you can't get in england may grind to a halt the staff and pupils are forced to stay home schooled managements have been

doing everything they chant but the government has failed to do their side of things testing is impossible to get hold of social distancing isn't possible in full class sizes i mean infection rates are going up so we have an absolutely chaotic situation where understandably and correctly pupils and staff are being sent home and they have potential sitting timbs but nobody knows if it's just a cold or coverage and it's a completely lost story and of course the danger is that there will be some situations where in fact we did have an infosys child in the sco but nobody knows because we can't get a test to check one way or the other facing the lack of testing more than 200 school and college leaders said staff and pupils couldn't book tests locally and were being directed to test centers long distances away and with the government mandating no more than 6 people to meet at a time that encouraging students to get back into the classroom your thirty's the knowledge that the whole situation is in quite some chaos every school has
11:21 am
a small supply of home test kits for those. the teachers that conduct testing center the teacher who tested positive had to wait a week for her results i don't deny that it is an enormous challenge with children and teachers unable to get access to tests and essentially being told to get to the back of the queue if they want one union need to say that the government has failed to prepare despite having had months to do so in fear of the country could go back into defacto lockdown once more children are being sent home who cannot get tests and parents are being forced to take 2 weeks off to look after them we will end up with an effective lockdown there is an escalating sense that they would end up with a return to lockdown by default it's not just with regards to the testing the schools are finding themselves short they also appear to lack the basic hygiene the city's nearly a 3rd of teachers didn't know if they'd have adequate supplies of soap and water while just 18 percent had had from the tides in every classroom it's left parents

ill patients as many of the experts have recommended we may have no choice but to tighten the guidelines. and yahoo's decision has proved deeply unpopular hundreds rallied against the new lockdown measures on the beach in tel aviv on saturday demonstrators were dancing and chanting slogans his government of mishandling think of it 90 crisis. the new restrictions including 10 people limit on indoor gatherings israelis will have to remain within 500 meters of their homes schools and shopping centers will be close and businesses won't be allowed to receive clients these measures were aimed at reining in the daily infection rate it has almost doubled since the start of the month the total number of cases exceeds 180000 and counting with more than $1000.00 deaths israelis told us how they feel about the new lockdown it's very frustrating it's killing the economy and many people feel like there is no hope and they don't know what is going on it's
11:24 am
probably a good thing because cases are rising that the roof so that's what we're going to do but i don't think it's going to expect that infections will go down but that the right back up person is the cause or hands on this doesn't affect me at all where i live 500 metres i go anywhere i want i do anything i want people i still see don't wear a mask so i really don't understand how this is going to help anything. as the saying goes it's never too late to learn an italian man has graduated from university at the age of 96 fulfilling a lifelong dream he told us about his journey. after working i retired and said what do i do now i didn't like doing nothing so i started studying.
