file: the atomic energy authority have announced that some uranium cartridges in the centre of an atomicoverheated yesterday. when we got to the gates, we were flagged through and told to go straight to our various work places, laboratories, and stay there. and i remember the word spread very quickly that there was a fire in the reactor and i was given a job to do. i was going to go up onto the so—called pile top, the reactor top, and take measurements up there. sitting there, up there on the top of the reactor, it was quiet as a grave and i sat up there all night long. i remember that. the whole damn night. file: emergency at windscale atom plant and the milk from 200 square miles of farmland is condemned as radioactive. the trouble arose when radioactive dust from the overheated pile fell on the cumberland pastures. but for these filters tops, once named ‘cockroft‘s folly‘ becausejohn cockroft insisted on them, the farms much further away would have faced not emergency but disaster. i remember the morning came. there were tapes put up everywhere — "don't go past this point". and water,

convince congress members because they have good arguments on this side after all the international atomic energy agency. said that iran is complying with the deal so that's of course a good argument for them and also what would it mean like if trump canceled the deal and who would ever want to negotiate with the u.s. again if like reaching a deal and abiding by it doesn't mean anything so of course european politicians will use all their diplomatic measures they have to convince the congress and we've also heard himself making some vague threats about what might happen if the deal were in fact canceled which leaves us with the question what would iran do what iran would not do of course renegotiate because iranians have long been skeptical of whether washington can be trusted when it comes to reaching an agreement. and now if cancels the deal he proves them right so that would weaken president rouhani position because he was the one the driving force behind signing the deal in iran and it would strengthen the hardliners and of course the hardliners just agreed to the deal because they got

standoff which many viewed at the time as one of the world's most pressing issues now the international atomic agency that's been monitoring iran's compliance with the deal says tehran has been keeping its side of the bargain of included shipping enriched uranium to russia mothballing thousands of centrifuges and removing the core from a reactor at a key nuclear facility and u.s. officials also backed the view iran has been good to its would while the european colleagues think trumps simply wrong on the issue. brawn is in technical compliance so the agreement iran is not in material breach of the agreement i do believe the agreement to be there is delayed the development of a nuclear capability but. the signals we're getting from the united states are that the president will explain to the senate that in his view the nuclear agreement with iran is not being fulfilled this is contrary to the view of the you member states they were involved in the agreement so it also contributes we certainly do not want the nuclear agreement to be damaged the european union will continue to work for the respect

despite the fact that the international atomic energy agency confirms that iran is honoring its nuclearommitments. trump claimed iran is violating the spirit of the agreement. >> while the united states adheres to our commitment under the deal, the iranian regime continues to fuel conflict, terror and turmoil throughout the middle east and beyond. importantly, iran is not living up to the spirit of the deal. >> france, germany and the united kingdom issued a joint statement criticizing the president's remarks. russia called it, quote, troubling, but israel praised president trump's words as courageous. we should note, despite the president's rhetoric, the deal is not dead yet. it falls to congress now to decide whether to attach new conditions to the agreement or to reimpose sanctions and end the deal. here is president trump after his announcement this afternoon. >> we're going to see what happens. we're going to see what they come back with. they may come back with something that's very satisfactory to me, and if they don't within a very short period of time, i'll terminate the deal.

-- international atomic agency has access to the military sites and anywhere else that they need toto make sure iran is not pursuing all these nukes. >> this was a deal specifically about the potential for iran to get a nuclear weapon, but i don't know even any of the people who support this deal who say that this was perfect. can it be improved and through this process? >> you're absolutely right. and no diplomatic negotiation results in a perfect outcome for either side and certainly we could have addressed ballistic missiles we would have. but the big question here i should say is whether we're better off with or without the deal. and before the deal, we had no visibility into what iran was doing, what activities were taking place on the ground. they were two months away from acquiring a bomb. now they're a year away and we know exactly what they're doing and we have an international monitors that were on the ground and able to see what they were doing. so i think the problem here is not whether we should be addressing ballistic missiles, whether we should be addressing human rig
