the 1st round resulted in a more conservative parliament which wasn't good for the president hassan rouhani is this is similar thinking going into this one because no turnout must be a concern with coronavirus. yes the reason that we're having the 2nd round of parliamentary elections head now is because they were postponed they were delayed in april because of the chroma virus now the 2nd round takes place when in the 1st round that 20 percent threshold isn't reached by the candidates but when the 2nd round happens it's just a matter of who gets the most votes is elected now more doesn't look like the political dynamic in the much of this the parliament is going to change 2 thirds of those seats still belong to the conservatives and like you said it's not good news for president hassan rouhani government now back in june foreign minister divides reith was in parliament to answer questions that he was heckled interrupted called a liar and even one lawmaker shouting death to the reef now that prompted the supreme leader ayatollah khomeini who is the political and spiritual leader of the count

create that dialogue but the emir himself visited iran back in 2014 where he met with president hassan rouhani and also the supreme leader so many so iran will be looking at kuwait very closely to see what happens next because 30 percent of the population in kuwait are. historically of iranian origin so they have been close ties between the 2 countries but also some tensions back in 2011 kuwait accused iran's. oil could force that's the organization that deals with operations outside of iran for carrying out a verse of activity inside quatre and they expelled some diplomats and in $21723.00 kuwaitis were convicted of spying for has been law and iran and iran's ambassador was expelled so there have been some tensions iran again is looking to create to see what happens next and how that relationship moves forward. thank you for that perspective all of this breaking news this hour quarter past the hour on al-jazeera the news out of kuwait is that the emir of kuwait. has died at the age of 91 this was the announcement made on television about half an hour ago now maybe a little bit on that very sh

friendly complicated and sometimes tent the emir himself visited back in 2014 where he met president hassan rouhani and also the supreme leader harmony but since then there have been some tensions in 201723 kuwaitis were accused of espionage for iran and hizbullah the iranian ambassador was expelled but they are still trade relations between the 2 countries. tourism but recently the iranian ambassador was called in by kuwait that was after the assassination of general carson for the money by the united states in iraq and there were allegations from iran that bases in kuwait or a base in kuwait had been used by the united states or the iranian ambassador was summoned in kuwait denied any involvement in that assassination of general costs and so the money and the rain in a bus it also recently has said that iran doesn't seek to use quote to target american interests and he said that he's been assured by koichi authorities that kuwait would not allow the united states to use their country to target iran or attack iran so it's a complicated relationship iran will be looking. to see how that relationshi

those sites but after a few days here meeting with foreign minister javad zarif and president hassan rouhani iran did allow inspections of those sites and this is a day after the united states has announced that the u.n. sanctions are back in place and if the united states was looking for support or something different from the well definitely not getting it. is concerned iran is complying and for diplomacy is the way forward and it's important to know that the i.a.e.a. already has access to iran's nuclear sites as declared nuclear facilities as 247 on line monitoring so again the united states is a bit later that the united nations and the is actually think that we need to have diplomacy and raphael grossly visited iran that's the message that came out and iran isn't blocking anything they may be in breach of the 2015 nuclear deal in terms of some of its conditions however in terms of access to those sites well iran's not blocking bills ok let's talk about search for a minute or so these comments in this national address today from the supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei is he kind of dou

parliament now we're going to wait to see what happens in these results but the issue for president hassan rouhani and his reformist unlined ministers and government still remain that the conservatives are deeply opposed to him and his policies and they want to bring those ministers to parliament for questioning. thanks very much. now the c.e.o. and 2 other senior executives of a mining company that destroyed ancient caves in western australia a stepping down rio tinto has been widely condemned for blowing up 46000 year old rock shelters in may to expand an iron ore mine the jew can gorge caves are one of the earliest known aboriginal heritage sites professor masi ellington is from the university of melbourne she says the rio tinto executives chose to destroy the sites to protect their own interests like we're trying to act since. nobody was $935000000.00 in there so. we're not trying role in our own rights we are into. the onwards or it's all money and the contracts are long standing and i believe that is the explanation from what i've read out as to why they would it would be considered because

president hassan rouhani made this televised address cabinet meeting the weekly cabinet meeting now we were expecting this we were told 20 minutes before he went to air and very much is taking advantage of this split the united nations security council he china and russia who have been friends of iran and if that vote had happened at the united nations russia and china would have vetoed it that was iran's understanding but also he thanked those members of the security council of those member states that stood up to the united states and don't want those sanctions imposed and this is an unprecedented division act knighted nations and iran is really capitalizing they see this as a diplomatic victory. this diplomatic battle has been going on for a while now and the united states is internationally isolated and iran feels that the odds are stacked in its favor but what iran does next very much depends on what the united states does in polls those u.n. sanctions they are back in place everyone else disagrees but united states thinks that they are so whatever the united states does iran will

in terms of reducing or limiting the amount of inspections that take place but president hassan rouhani is very much invested in the. 2015 nuclear deal and he's policy and he's allies policy is wait and see what happens and then looking forward to the u.s. elections but ultimately iran's response will come down to how the united states reacts of what the united states does if they start stopping iranian ships and also how the united nations and other countries around the world will react if they willingly or reluctantly start to give in to u.s. pressure and start imposing these sanctions then we could very much see a very tough or a tougher stance a response coming from iran. now governments around the world are reluctantly reimposing with 19 restrictions as the global death toll nears a 1000000 parts of spain's capital madrid are now back in lockdown the country recorded more than 100000 new cases in the past 2 weeks while neighboring france has seen rising intensive care admissions and deaths and the british prime minister boris johnson is considering a 2nd national lock down his top

waiting for some reaction but the immediate did visit iran back in 2014 where he met president hassan rouhani but also the supreme leader. the how many now the relationship between iran and kuwait has been friendly complicated and at times somewhat tense going back to the iran iraq war coate supported saddam hussein in fact allowing saddam hussein's forces to use 3 kuwaiti islands to stage attacks against iran at the time the president who is now the supreme leader ayatollah khomeini threatened if they didn't stop saying they could become targets but since then there has been increased trade there has been diplomatic relations and kuwait has tried to play mediator when the united states pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal will kuwait supported that deal and has publicly stated iran's support for iran's right to have a peaceful nuclear program but again there have been tensions in 2011 accused iran's revolutionary guards al quds force that deals with operations outside the country that they were carrying out subversive activity inside kuwait and in 201723. were arrested in accused of espionage
