This is another step taken by iran to scale back its commitments to the 2015 nuclear deal authorities here say since the United States withdrew last year and imposed if syriza further sanctions on iran the remaining european signatories have yet to uphold their end of the green meant and until they do iran will continue to advance its Nuclear Program that is something to European Union is continuing to warn against we have continue to are trying to reverse such steps without delay and to refrain from any 4 dimensions that would undermine the nuclear deal you know that we as the European Union remain committed to the implementation of the j c p a way because its a matter of respecting International Agreement its a matter of our security but we have also been consistent in saying that commitment that our commitment to the nuclear deal depends on the full compliance by this announcement was made on the 40th anniversary of the takeover of the former u.

Lets go now to tehran where our dorset bar is live for us so or so what is the reaction been out of a tehran to these these sanctions. Well weve heard from the spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry at post mousavi he issued a statement late last night following the announcement from the u. S. Government he said that this is just another example of the bullying behavior by the United States towards iran and that these kinds of approaches will not do anything there are they need there needs to be a diplomatic and logical solution to the issues between the 2 sides these sanctions come at a time when tensions are so high between the 2 sides the sanctions are targeting very very close members to the Supreme Leader including one of his sons and a former defense minister as well as the current head of irans judiciary ebrahim bracy these sanctions are seen as another example of how the United States doesnt really understand the right approach when it comes to dealing with iran and officials here say that they are really meaningless theyre more of a symbolic gesture because these figures ive never really see even set foot into the United States let alone have any financial dealings with the u. S. So theyre seen more of as gesture and theyre being waved away from the officials here saying that theyre really not meaningful but the gesture shows that the United States doesnt really understand how to deal with iran all right or so departed with the latest from tehran dorsett thank you to iraq now where there is an internet blackout in the capital and several provinces protestors are blocking roads in baghdad including 4 bridges as they step up the pressure on the government.

S. Is the only nation to lee each country provided its own goals to curb emissions of heat trapping gases that lead to Climate Change the global goal is to keep the temperature rise to below 2 degrees celsius this century the Obama Administration promised to reduce u. S. Greenhouse gas emissions by up to 28 percent by 2030 from 2015 levels trump said that it unfairly hurts the u. S. Economy the actual withdrawal will take a year and come into effect the day after the 2020 election charlatans as more from washington d. C. This formal notification means that in a years time the us will leave the Paris Climate Accord the day off to the us president ial election so this could be reversed if a democrat wins that election they have 30 days them or they have to wait 30 days and then they can get back in to the court there are also other interesting interesting fact is that mean that perhaps all hope isnt lost on climate for a start local authorities both federal and and city authorities are doing a great deal now to try and combat Greenhouse Gases alone even they admit thats not enough without federal action in addition to Public Opinion is now key even republicans are increasingly worried about the climate say in a swing state like florida 44 percent of republicans now say they believe in manmade Climate Change and republicans are beginning to realize that they have to change their narrative to say that they too are concerned that they dont really care about their contributions from the fossil fuel industry or perhaps the lack of belief in science so there are interesting political moves underway that we all hope isnt lost from a federal level on Climate Change a u.

Another challenge for the u. S. President as the impeachment investigation in washington accelerates President Trump continues to insist he never overstepped his president ial powers its a message trying to kentucky as he sounded the alarm with his supporters and launched a string of attacks against those investigating his actions correspondent kimberly how could reports from the southern u. S. State of kentucky or trump travel to rally his base. Its a rural Southern State known for its love of raising and racing prized horses in 2016 voters in kentucky voted overwhelmingly for donald trump who has descended on this state in advance of local elections and low kentucky where the 2020 president ial election is a year away but kentucky is one of a handful of u. S. States holding an off year vote kentuckys republican governor is struggling so trump is campaigning on his behalf but theres another reason trumps here gauge just how much the impeachment inquiry is hurting him outside washington. As the impeachment inquiry continues to divide americans from supporters insist hes done nothing wrong and the investigations politically motivated by democrats. Will lead to. I think its. A publicist for democrats to trying to stretch it out to make the president look worse than it actually is but as democrats back in washington released transcripts of closed door testimony of troubled ministration officials alleging president ial wrongdoing trump is attacking the democrats backing the Investigation House Intelligence Committee chair adam schiff and speaker nancy pelosi. With lance we the far left has declared war on american democracy to show these people are lunatics trumps allies in congress are also discrediting the whistleblower who complained about his july 25th phone call with the ukrainian president prompting the impeachment investigation pushing for the whistleblower to be exposed by the media i stated 9 to the media do your job and print is nice.

Brocky protesters are blocking roads in the capital baghdad including 4 bridges as they stepped up pressure on the government on monday live rounds were fired at demonstrators gather near the state Television Headquarters killing at least 5 people. The u. S. Has formally begun withdrawing from the paris climate agreement is meant donald trump announced his intention in 2017 but monday was the earliest he could legally make that move pack between 187 countries was set up to fight Climate Change in 2015 chinese president xi jinping has backed hong kongs leader at a surprise meeting in shanghai she met kerry lamb on the sidelines of a trade event on monday expressed a high degree of trust in hong kong leader for her governments ability to tackle months of antigovernment protests or tests in hong kong began in june over a plan to allow extraditions to Mainland China china you joins us now from beijing so this meeting between the 2 katrina how much of a surprise was it. Well richelle as you said this meeting is taking place on the sidelines of a Big International exposure thats taking place this week and many World Leaders are here for that event so its not unexpected that they should meet but what was a surprise perhaps was the tone of the meeting now as you mentioned this follows 5 months of turmoil an increasingly violent person who called the economy hong kong is in recession tourism has taken a big hit and its been a big source of embarrassment and concern for beijing so one might expect a sort of torn of reprimanding displeasure from xi jinping to to carry land when they sat down but we saw the opposite he said that he expressed full confidence and full trust in her leadership he acknowledged all the hard work that her government had been doing to try to calm the situation and really it seemed to be a message from xi jinping to the people of hong kong and indeed to the rest of the world that kerry land is here to stay now just last october just last month we had some speculation that they might actually be preparing to replace kerry because a chinese official said that they jing was thinking about ways to improve the selection of hong kongs leader and improve the way that the leader. Would make that transition to a to a new leader so many saw that as an indication that kerry last days as the leader of hong kong would be numbered and this really seems to put that speculation to rest now many in hong kong are going to be really unhappy with that meeting and that also say that is just further proof of what theyve been saying about this whole time that shes little more than a puppet of beijing now interestingly she didnt ping ended that me saying with an encouragement to carry land to continue discussions and dialogue with all of walls of Hong Kong Society and to see what she could do to really improve their lives now thats important because it reflects what the beijing government believes about the protests in hong kong and what many here on the mainland believe about the purchase of hong kong and what. They say is that really this isnt about politics this isnt about wanting more democracy in fact the way we see it people who are frustrated about the lack of Work Opportunities about the lack of what things like Affordable Housing and people on the mainland believe that once those things are addressed then really these protests will start to peter out record for new ivan beijing katrina thank you.
