u. n. u k? well, stock says iran is expanding its uranium enrichment capabilities that there's been a scaling back in terms of i. e, i. e, a access to some nuclear sides. western diplomats have said that without a full sort of understanding of arounds, capabilities, it's hard to reach an agreement, what is around calculation then? i think it's parts a lot calculations but and other parts are very important part in this you know, development on nuclear activity, restricted to kind of what we can call the reaction. and it's a reaction not only to deal with maximum pressure as mr. mandy, just mention what's also and more importantly, i think, to the recent, very, very xander sabotage tax against its nuclear. so basically, i mean, honestly speaking they can see the developments on the ground at the more israel tries to kind of slow down the runs program. the more unions are determined to develop their new programs. so this has been one of the main issues behind this development, which is what, on the other hand, in terms of calculation, of course, a very important part of the reason i'm trying to ration it's has been to use it as a leverage because just imagine a suspicion after this for maximum pressure and imposing sanctions. i guess you don't. if you don't want to go sankey without any actually in the, in the position that it was before with all of its would be in a very nice position. so that was, i think, one of the main reason that started in the 1st place to advance it's nuclear activities. so the combination of these 2 factors have kind of let us to the situation that we are now. i'm a brandy m u c. and his 1st public statement as president and lex said that his government's foreign policy would need to begin nor end with the j c p. o way sort of indicating that it wouldn't be quite the, the foreign policy focus that perhaps had been in the past. has the wrong position going into these talks this time, the 7th set of talks hasn't changed at all. no, not at all. in fact, i think one of the mistakes, the former president ro, honey, was constantly say that the j t o a with or the new the negotiations were his priority. and that gave the americans beverage and constantly thing that we need to deal was, was, was like poison or iranian position. the run in negotiating t. what present ratio saying is that we will do a deal if they accept the j. c, p, o, a info. well sign up to we will, what will we signed up? we've been implementing it and we still are implementing it because our, as i said, the fact that we're not implementing the deal itself, our ryan audience with the 2 articles t

u. n. u k. welsh officer on is expanding its uranium enrichment capabilities that there's been a scaling back in terms of, i. e, i. e, a access to some nuclear sides. western diplomats have said that without a full sort of understanding of around the capabilities, it's hard to reach an agreement. what is around calculation then? i think it's part say, well, calculations but, and other parts are very important part in this you know, development of nuclear activity, this kind of what we can call the reaction and it's a reaction not only to deal with maximum pressure as mr. mandy. just mention what's also and more importantly, i think to the recent wave of xander several times attacks against it's. so basically, i mean, honestly speaking, i think they can see behind the development on the ground that the more israel tries to kind of slow down the runs program, the more unions are determined to develop their new programs. so this has been one of the main issues behind this development, which is what on the other hand, in terms of calculation, of course, a very important part, a calculation. it is, has been to use it as a leverage because just imagine a situation after this for maximum, british or i'm imposing sanctions against you. if you don't want to answer them, your shane taylor without any are actually in the, in the position that it was before trumps with all of it's would be in a review position. so that was, i think, one of the main reason that it started in the 1st place to launch its nuclear activity. so the combination of these 2 factors have kind of led us to the situation that we are now non brandy everywhere you see in his 1st public statement as president elect said that his government's foreign policy would neither begin nor end with the j. c, p. o. a sort of indicating that it wouldn't be quite the foreign policy. so focus that perhaps that had been in the past has around position going into these talks. this time, the 7th set of talks hasn't changed at all. no, not at all. in fact, i think one of the mistakes of former president ronnie, was to constantly say that if you a, we're or nuclear negotiations were his priority. and that came, americans leverage and constantly saying that we need a deal was like poison or the iranian position in the run in negotiating t. what present ratio saying is that, look, we will do a deal if they accept the j. c, p o, a and fall will sign up to we will. what will we signed up? we've been implementing it and we still are implementing it because our, as i said, the fact that we're not implementing the dealing itself are right in the audience with the 2 articles that i mentioned earlier. but for the fact that the really present res, using our priorities to develop tires with regional countries, to develop ties with asian countries, this is sending a signal to the united states that we're going to be waiting for the j. c pos. we're not going to be waiting for if you want to commit yourself so that you're fine. but if you don't, we're going to be developing our economy based on the resources that we have at hand. we're not going to just sit there and hope that you're going to see the like, i know you talked a lot about the impact of us sanctions. what do you think? how much difference will it make for iran if the agreement is restored? because if the next us president just does the same thing that trump does, you know, could that not be a warning find had or mean banks and businesses don't have the confidence that perhaps they want it? yes, and that's a major concern. the iranian negotiators have the united states, it has become an unreliable country. there are so much instability and us politics that we can't gauge what is going to happen tomorrow with us decision making process. but what is, what is a fact is that the united states today is much weaker than it was in 2015. it is a divided country, it has major economic, social, and political problems. it is confronting to rising powers, china and russia, and ukraine. and taiwan and over artificial intelligence and u. s. allies in west asia are foundering there on the decline, whereas the runny program as your previous guess, right? the pointed out has developed banks of the united states leaving the deal. and the running position is much stronger today than it wasn't to 2015. so time is not on the side of the americans. but the problem is, is that the americans, often i think they are looking at it from a position of arrogance. they don't see the reality that the reality on the ground is changing and if they do, they don't have to will to do something about it. ok, hillary man never do you agree with that assessment of american strength or otherwise and and also from the u. s. perspective has anything changed given around new leadership. there this question about whether the us power in decline is of course, an important question. but the reality is as long as the world, the international community continues to trade and price everything, including oil in the dollar. the u. s. dominant over the i

we may never know. but to have this thought experience letters always fascinated to me, has been tommy's. i wasn't a little child, i'm 49 years old now, so i'm an old art but i still love science. um it keeps the mind going and it keeps wondering, and that's where this comes into play. it store kitchen, wandering. it doesn't have all the answers. but it is food for thought. oh, that's one way to make, i guess, smiled professor low, welcome to the strings. so get to see you who they did you write your book for? who is it for? well, thank you for having me. i wrote the book for the young generation who i hope will occupy the horse because the me in the future because young people do not carry a prejudice, they don't carry biases. they're not attached to their ego as much as senior people are. and frankly, i told the publisher that the person around the world will decide to become a scientist. this, after reading my book, i will be satisfied it. so happened a couple of weeks ago. i received an email from my law. we africa from a woman that said that your book is great. i'm contemplating becoming an astronomer after reading it and that made me satisfied already. there was another one from columbia in latin america, an undergraduate student who said the reading about your work, change my life. and there was another one from a lawyer in palo alto who said similar things. so i'm, i'm quite satisfied the facts and now i'm looking at an article that you write, why do we have seen extra terrestrials might want to visit us. so here's the question that a lot of people are wondering and you want to in your book, are we allowed? right. and that my suspicion is that we are not that in fact, that thinks like us existed for billions of years because most stars formed billions of years before the sun. and the sun is a typical star. and half of the sun, like stars have atlanta, the size of the earth, roughly the same separation. so if you arrange for similar circumstances, you might as well get similar outcomes. i don't think that we're special. i don't think that we deserve special attention, like many other people who think, ah, you know, when my daughters were young, there were at home and they thought very highly of themselves. they thought that they must be, you know, the smartest thing, the world that they are, the center of the world. but then when we took them to the kindergarten, they realize they're smarter kids around and our civilization will mature. once we meet others, we tend to think very high. you are so, you know, the ancient greek philosopher, aristotle suggested that we are the center of the universe and people who believed him for a 1000 years until that copernicus and valero, realized that the earth moves around the sun. and it still took a while before people accepted that. so i think, you know, we are not at the center of anything and we should look out than find others. and just looking home has not his son, who is what she knew right now. and each upset, of course, is intelligent life, be on the staff. how could we peavey only ones? what i am wondering though, professor is an exposure to science fiction over many years. and how that impacts even how and how scientists feel the idea of extra terrestrial life. what does that right, so science fiction, i think, plays a very important role in expanding our imagination as to what we might expect out there. i have a problem with most of the story lines in science fiction. i'm not a fan of science fiction. i'm a fan of science or fiction separately but, but they do value the the fact that science fiction expands our horizons. the reason i don't like many of the story lines is because they violate the laws of physics very often. but there are other scientists because of that tension of the public to science fiction and to reports about unidentified flying objects and so forth. they shy away from discussing this topic, they say, you know, it's said to popular. 1 it's controversial, we don't want to discuss it at all. and my point is simple. you know, if you go back to ancient history, there were people claiming that the human body has a soul and that we should not engage in anatomy. and imagine if scientists would say on the subject of the human body is controversial. some people claim it has a saw some not. and we don't want to discuss it just like the response to science fiction. what would happen with more than madison? where would we be? i think in fact, science has an obligation to attend to a topic that is of great interest to the public and clear it up using the same method using equipment, telescopes that we have. are we the smartest kid on the block? you know, that's a very fundamental question. christopher sharp has a question for you, professor. have a listen. have a look. i am a huge fan of yours. and i believe that you are inspiring a new generation of scientists to actively my curiosity, without fearing stigma from the scientific community. my question relates to yours. so as you may now know, us government is actively investigating your site and is taking a phenomena seriously. happy. what is your opinion of your face? and it asked to you by the us government to help them in their investigations. what would your response the yes, that's an excellent question. and, and what i think we should rely on is really the very best in commer eisen, all your sensors that we have at our hands right now, rather than on or the reports from the pentagon that they're being declassified. because they were not using the very best instruments and are based on partly on the eye witness testimonies. it's obvious why the u. s. government ah, was classifying these reports because there was always the concern that they might represent technologies that other nations possess and pose a and national security risk. but them from the point of view of science, what we would like to understand is, are there unusual phenomena that represent perhaps something else? and for that purpose, all we need to do is deployed the very best cameras and audio since source in the same locations. and record everything we see, you know, you see science is about reproducibility of results. you have to reproduce results in order to believe them. there is the, all biblical story of them. abraham that ah, heard the voice of god and the the told him to sacrifice his only son, isaac. and then, you know, if abraham had the cell phone a, with a voice memo up, he could have pressed the button and recorded the voice of god and then we would all believe it. but given the fact that he didn't have a cellphone, we have to decide whether we b

u. s san francisco and atlanta have canceled overall, the u. n world's tourism industry has lost over $1.6 trillion in 2021. now, locals here tell us that they hope that moving forward with new year's eve won't threaten mardi gras. this is of course, another big money making season for the area that starts in january. julie heather back to you, rebecca. while many cities as you mentioned are scaling back, it is like you said full steam ahead in new orleans. are you starting to notice? crowds show up just yet. yes it's you know, we're still early. it's wednesday, but this is the most crowded. i've seen the french quarter in quite a while. the parking lots down here are almost filled to capacity, and we haven't seen that here in several months since hurricane ida. all right. rebecca castor reporting live for us tonight in new orleans, where there is going to be a party this weekend, rebecca. thank you. a chaotic commute is caught on camera when a man starts shooting flames in southern california. also ahead. we're getting a look at places still dig

u. s. to release some of the 10 bill and dollars and assets sitting on the u. n . wong, and i've told them without financial aid i've gotten us on is on a count down to catastrophe. i read across the spokesperson, anita dillard told us more about the crisis script, the country in afghanistan at the moment, around half the population using native, some kind of humanitarian system. and what that looks like on the ground for people is that they don't have access to enough food to feed their families. so they're having to skip meals in some cases. in other cases, with an increase in global acute nutrition, people are resorting to spending any savings that they may have had they had any and selling. in fact, the acid, in order to raise enough money to continue to have the basics that they need to the humanitarian agencies need to really step in to this crisis where we would certainly make a call to the national community to continue to invest in this response. at this really critical juncture and the country script by crises, many, many front really what we see is that people who these things are intended to punish all it is punishing, rather people who are not the, the people who i think function. the effect really is flowing into community results as a drawing up. so we would really reminding special community to think about the humanitarian needs and put the humanity of f n, a decision making and, and their investment. so moscow has published a list of proposals on how to insure de escalation between russia and nato. let's find out all about it now without his senior correspondent marquez df. joining us here this afternoon, life in the studio. well, this is very timely. a proposal here considering putin just had his video chat with biden, just a few days ago, we understand during that chat, hootin had raised a desire for some security guarantees. and we of course, remember the build up to that chat. the conversation between the 2 presidents, how hysteric hysteric, all the accusations all the fear mongering was we heard about red lines about sanctions that russia would feel for decades. all of that before that cool. it was hoped that telephone call would be a crescendo with the 2 sides could finally, after geneva work out the these huge differences that there are between primarily russia in the united states, but also to a lesser extent, between russia and nato. and then the aftermath of that phone call during which light were pu, mention that russia has these proposals, how we could move forward, how you could be safer, and how we could be safe. and they came out with an agreement, 2 different versions, one for the united states, one for native. and there are all sorts of points. for example, with regards to the escalation, there was one of articles addresses all the territories that nato enlarged into, which is cool, cause so much frustration in russia. and that is that there are territories of the eastern block of the former soviet union, eastern europe. and one of the articles mentioned that are russia would like for nato troops to be pulled out of those countries. so that only national defense forces i left there and this is in order to ensure that no one ever fears a surprise attack is looking for promotion to take a while at least the parties shall not use the territories of other states with a view to preparing or carrying out an armed attack against the other party that the gist of it. this entire agreement that has been rolled out by the russian foreign ministry is they want transparency and understanding. the chief point article one mentioned that both sides must respect each others need equal need for security. and, you know, it's a, it's a simple phrase, but there is, there is so much context in it. there's so much depth to it because everybody wants her nobody, nobody really wants parents. if you're offered the choice of having the upper hand of everyone or living equally. of course, you might choose the upper hand, but when you realize that you chasing after the up a had all the time this, this escalation, we're seeing this arms race. it isn't going to end well for, for anybody. and in this vein, russia wants certain weapons removed from its borders, and it is proposing to do the same zip. the parties shall not deploy land based, intermediate, and short range missiles in areas allowing them to reach the territory of the other parties. those suits and intermediate range missiles have always been a sore point for russia. because the, the, the flight time vladimir putin said from the east that peripheries of nato countries to moscow is easy, ben minutes, minutes, which is not enough time to do anything about it. and so are russia in the kremlin, have to live with this fear of a, of a real surprise attack that could happen. nevertheless, the agreement, as i say, it also includes an article about resurrecting from the dead, the russian nato lines at the russian nato council, which is the council that was formed to streamline, to make sure that both sides can cooperate with, with each other. and which over the years as bit by bit died off and they also proposal manner of all manner of hot lines. but communication can only get you so far. communication is a last resort for when things are a things have escalated to, to a point of no return. what russia wants going into the future is a guarantee that nato won't encroach clues, that are the to russia's borders. and then it has, in recent decades. nato states commit themselves to refrain from any further enlargement of nato, including the accession of ukraine as well as other states. the version, the for nasal, the agreement scenario is slightly short of the agreement for the united states is slightly more detailed as, as many of the weapons that much of healed threatened by in europe are stationed there by us troops who the property of the u. s. military nevertheless, there is, aside from all the sca you recalls for communication calls for d escalation calls for mutual co corporation. there is also a call to refrain from building, as i said, from an arms race, from trying to shake the upper hand constantly over your neighbor, and thereby threatening their own security. the parties shall not strengthen their security individually with an international organizations, military alliances, or coalitions at the expense of the security of other parties. just to clarify, this is basically russia's wishlist. this is, these are the points that marcia wants to happen. and this, these are the papers from which russia wants to go forward. so negotiate over every article, every point in these agreements and to see what can be worked out. and what can't auth rule? essentially, that is the only way left forward for russia in the united states and nato. the, the only other alternative that we've heard about in recent years, more and more.

u. s embassy for 2 years and was promised special visa status for himself and his family. but his request was rejected, and that's left him stranded in afghanistan. he also worked for the u. n. assistance mission and supported swedish troops. sweden's also refused to get about . he and his family now fear for their lives. we've asked the state department in the u. s. for comments on mr. sharif his plight. if we get a response, we'll let you know. coalition troops finally withdrew from afghanistan in august with those chaotic scenes throughout the evacuation that you'll remember back then, concerns were raised over the fate of local employees, who risked retribution from the newly reinstalled taliban authorities. according to the u. s. state department, more than 60000 interpreters and others who applied for visas are still in afghanistan. mr. sharif, he says, the treatment of people who risked their lives is unfair. western countries are in the united states. they are very restricted for accepting immigration, so that's why we're left far behind our la manny enterprise. those on those who swelled and supported them with doing the past 2 decades. in afghanistan, we provide discord for them. we supply them every night every day. and we provide it for protection for them. so now they lift us behind us. what is unfair? because i have, don't like m

u. n said is receiving credible reports that all sides in ethiopia is conflict. are committing severe human rights violations. u. k prime minister boris johnson says he accepts full responsibility following the crushing defeat of his conservative party in a bi election. conservatives lost the seat of nor shropshire for the 1st time in almost 2 centuries. it became vacant when the previous conservative and pay was forced to resign for breaking parliamentary rules from wham in shropshire. under simmons reports on the latest in a series of setbacks for boris johnson, country life in north shropshire has been synonymous with conservative voting for nearly 2 centuries. but not anymore. morgan, helen, margaret, lillian, liberal democrats. 17000. 957. o helen morgan is now the m p from centralized opposition party that smashed at 23000 majority for boris johnson's conservative party. if he could have no structure had spoken on behalf of the british people, they said loudly and clearly vice johnson, the parties, ada johnson responded by saying he took full responsibility. i totally understand people's frustrations. i i hear what the vouchers are saying in north structure and oh, humidity. i gotta accept either that verde the liberal democrat party with its battle ground headquarters in the grounds of a stately home brought in activists from all over the country a mile down the road. they quickly conquered the market town of wim. the conservative club a desolate place in defeat. talking to people here and it's plain to see that this isn't just about public unease midway through a government term. it's about trust, political leadership, and one person. the prime minister dennis prince, voted liberal democrat, not because it might be better for his business. he had been outraged by a christmas party in downing street a year ago when his mother was seriously ill in a care home. not being able to visit her for a year. i had a very detrimental effect on my mother's well being. and now we find that the people that were telling us to stay at home, social distancing, et cetera, et cetera. when you find that they've been having parties at downing street and a conservative h q, then that's pretty hard to take. this bi election was called after the m p. o. in patterson broke rules on lobbying, he'd been paid by 2 private companies to try to influence government policies. madison quit after borrows. johnson botched an attempt to save him from a suspension from parliament. what's also we can johnson's authority is a rebellion by a 100 conservative m. p. 's voting against the use of coven passes. john murray is a former conservative mer of when he says johnson is now a liability. basically hasn't got the backing of the party any more, really was an awful lot against him. so one thing, one day and those totally the opposite elect day. the conservatives are likely to review the way they govern when parliament returns from the christmas recess and the new year. there's little political cheer for boris johnson right now. andrew simmons, al jazeera wim shropshire, it's been an out said the top official heart of investigating alleged parties and government offices in breach of last year's climate restrictions. a step down cabinet secretary simon case recused himself, after reports an event was held in his own office. l a foreign minneapolis police officer can posture is been testifying in ham man so to trial following the shooting death of 20 year old black man dante wright portrait claim she meant to draw her taser instead of had gone when she shot right. and he was trying to drive away from officers seeking to arrest him video. the shooting which happened in april was recorded on police body cameras and shining court rights. death set off launch protests across the united states. as your, as john henderson joins me now from chicago. and composite, testified in high defense today. what did she have to say, john? marian, this was a divisive and highly anticipated case, and it came at a crucial time. it came in the middle of the trial of derek shaven. he's the police officer who was ultimately convicted for killing george floyd by kneeling on his neck. now during that trial, kim potter was a police officer in the neighbouring suburb of brooklyn's center. she was with another officer supervising him as he stopped a car. and in the course of that, she pulled what she says, she thought was her taser, which was on the left hand side. instead, she pulled her gun. she fired after yelling taser taser taser. and she said that's when she discovered she had actually killed a man. here's a little of what she had to say. it's just, it's just one chaotic it and then i remember yelling, teaser, teaser teaser and nothing happened. now both sides in this case agree that dante wright should be alive today. kim potter side argues that this was a tragic mistake, but one in which she wasn't aware that she was doing anything wrong and therefore she should not be convicted. however, it's the jury who will ultimately decide. and john, this all started with a simple traffic stop. how did it go so wrong? that's right, it was a simple traffic stop. and potter herself says it's probably not one she would have pursued if she were alone, but she says the officer that she was supervising noticed 2 things wrong with that car. first, it had expired tags. now that happens a lot here during the covey era, and she says, normally they don't really worry about that too much. people have a hard time getting to the department of motor vehicles to redo those tags. also there was an air freshener dangling from the rear view mirror. now that's a legal because it tends to block the driver's view, but those are both minor points. this is what she had to say about that. an air freshener to me is not just an equipment violation. and during the cove at times, the high cove at times, departmental motor vehicles was so offline that people were getting tabs and we were advised not to try to enforce a lot of those things because the tabs were just not in circulation. potter is charged with 1st in 2nd degree manslaughter. now legal experts say under minnesota long, they probably have to prove that she acted with some level of consciousness that she knew that what she was doing was excessive force. the defense is arguing that because she didn't know that she had actually pulled a lethal weapon, she was not aware of that. ultimately, it's the jury that we'll decide. thank you very much. john had him with the latest on that site from chicago. now thousands of tunisians have been out protesting on the 11th anniversary of the uprising, which triggered the arab spring revolution. oh, rally both for and against president. i sighed. he recently announced a constitutional referendum for next july, a year off to seizing widespread powers, a move his opponents describe as a qu. high unemployment remains a problem. despite the revolution which started off to a fruit seller, sat himself on fire in protest at police, stopping him from working. now unicef says that the economic crisis in lebanon is fueling and increase in violence against children with almost half a serious risk of physical, emotional, or sexual violence. it's report shows a 44 percent rise in the number of cases of child abuse and exploitation, handled by unicef and its partners in the 12 months from october 2020, to october 2021. about 1800000 children are facing multi dimensional policy. this includes housing, health care, and education deprivation, their height and risk of abuse, such as child labor and child marriage to help their families cope. at least a 1000000 children at risk of direct violence, driven by the stresses of the economic crisis in coven locked downs. there's also gonna a sharp rise in domestic violence against women and girls on the job. marla mcgee, does the special representative of the un secretary general violence against children. she explains how violence against kids can be prevented. lebanon, as well as many countries is award. however, if i mentioned on children's rights and have to guarantee their rights and we despise the fiscal constraints, they have to see a really high protection and protection of the most vulnerable, including, i mean really as a priority despite fiscal constrain, despite all of this crisis and here is the support of un is really here to remind zat, but is also in a close partnership with government. and we've all the key partners really to make it happen today because we need to react very, very quickly to protect children, to provide them with social protection, with psycho social support with education and also really making sure that it's really joy implemented and really accessible to all children, a family without discrimination and showing that no one is left behind the 7th round of talk, same to revising the 2015 iran nuclear deal. as conclusion, the austrian capital vienna parties to the talks are hoping to resurrect the agreement, which sees iran limit its nuclear activity in exchange for sanctions relief. it's been breached on both sides since the united states pulled out 3 years ago. those such a buyer reports now from vienna on the days events. an unprecedented display by the united nations nuclear watchdog this. this is one of the cameras, the international atomic energy agency, has been trying to get reinstalled in a workshop outside to hans since june. that 20, raining official say, an act of sabotage was carried out damaging these cameras. iranian officials are about to conclude their investigations. some iran say these cameras have played a role in the attack. my charge, the director general denies it, is, are served to believe or to say that the i e commerce would have been part of some sort of solvent data is number one. number 2, this commerce do not have any transmitter. any beacon that can be used in the way that it was alleged as the issue of iran's compliance with a i. e a seems to have been resolved for now. the european signatories to the deal, france, germany, u. k. along with russia and china and the united states, wrapped up their 7th round of talks in vienna. now it's clear the clock is ticking . we don't have much time there is hm, obvious sense of urgency in every pin we do here. so we will resume. we will resume shawn or we will be, i hope, javion, the final french of these negotiations. the leader radian negotiator, a deputy foreign minister ali buggery. connie is more helpful than ever before. that's because the 2 proposals iran put forward at the start of this round, which began on november 29th have finally been agreed on by all parties. and the most important developments so far, the americans are talking specific sanctions relief for iran to have him homogeneity manascale damn. we are making provisions about sanctions release and have come back and
