Bargain this specific scaling back the commitment is a serious one because the iranians have said that they are no longer willing to be in this agreement by themselves now the Enrichment Program in the country has been course a major point of discussion and concern for the International Community they said that iran should not be able to enrich uranium at higher levels because it doesnt need to but the iranians have argued over the past years that it does it because it has a Research Facility in the capital tehran thats been here for decades that is tasked with producing medical isotopes and that the Nuclear Reactor in the tehran facility requires 20 percent enriched uranium to be operational now aljazeera has been given rare access to this facility. This is the reason iran says its Nuclear Program needs 20 percent enriched uranium to keep its 1st Nuclear Reactor working. The center of the 5 megawatt reactor does all the work its source is a number of chemical elements which scientists here call a fuel assembly before it came into use in 2009 iran had to import 20 percent enriched uranium from argentina you know i go with this reactor originally used 90 percent of fuel in the past produced by an American Company but it was realized reactors like this could work with 20 percent fuel as well so they change all reactors in a way to use 20 percent field including our reactor in 1903. But since iran began producing its own uranium rival powers have objected theyre concerned that with that technology reaching those higher grades of enrich uranium above 90 percent would mean being able to produce a Nuclear Weapon would be achievable during this tightly supervised visit officials repeatedly state irans government is only interested in Nuclear Energy and not arms several Nuclear Scientists have been assassinated and employees here hide their identity for safety the Higher Quality chemical elements or isotopes iran says it needs are made here theyve arrived through an underground tunnel from the main reactor by the radio isotopes are produced here in these cells when theyre sent back from the reactor it is cuts in seoul number one and sent to the of the cells according to the type of radioisotopes and the process continues that in some cases we have to extract the main material from the original material the isotopes then come here for further purification they are all then packed in special containers and sent to medical facilities in iran and to other countries. These radioactive isotopes can be used to detect blood clots and to treat and kill cancer cells and officials here say theyre used to treat more than a 1000000 patients in iran each year the International AtomicEnergy Organization regularly visits the site and says iran has been complying with the 2015 nuclear deal agreed with 6 world powers until now it stopped after the United States withdrew from the group last year and impose additional sanctions on iran officials here say the european signatories have yet to uphold their commitments and say thats why iran is scaling back on its obligations but theres another reason too this reactor was built in the late 1960 s. But the Nuclear Agreement that was signed in vienna 4 years ago means that its improvements were put on hold now its future could very well determine whether iran stays in the 2015 agreements the future for this Nuclear Program of growth or neglect and politics over the nuclear deal aside its that that may determine what steps iran takes next. Now what remains to be seen is whether or not the european signatories are able to come up with an alternative plan to try and salvage this deal with the iranians have said all these steps that theyve taken are all reversible a matter of days as long as they feel that the europeans are upholding their on the the french government for their part have spearheaded that those efforts and at the moment theyre trying to convince washington to give the arraign use a 15000000000. 00 line of credit that would see them being able to sell their oil to the European Countries the americans have yet to make a decision on that the iranians have said they will give the europeans another 60 days to the side whether or not they can come up with a better option to try and salvage this nuclear deal. All right dosage of barley life for us there in tehran lets speak now to show he is a policy fellow at the European Leadership Network and joins us now from london thanks very much for being with us so how significant is this decision decision by the iranian leadership then is this is this. Another nail in the coffin of the 2015 nuclear deal for you so just like the other 2 cuts that have been made to the j. C. P. O. Way since the iranian government has made the decision to reduce or compliance this does not serve a near term political ration risk under the way iran is actually intitled to doing certain types of research and development on advance centrifuges at the Laboratory Level now its not clear exactly how theyre going to escalate the research and development but what we do know is that it will take a great deal of time for it to actually effect the breakout capability that iran has to build a Nuclear Weapon and because we know that iran main intention is not to do that but is to actually build leverage in the face of Donald Trumps maximum Pressure Campaign i think that this is simply another stop that rouhani and the government has to take because of the 60 day cycles that theyve now committed to to reduce compliance but again we will wait to see whether the other parties to the deal feel as though it now results in significant noncompliance but my personal assessment is that they will not find it too so if they dont then one of those other european powers do then is there any any further mechanism for them to try to salvage this deal and to maintain some sort of trade with iran. So yes you know over the past year weve seen the he 3 governments that have now been joined by a number of other European Countries trying to come up with a mechanism that is focused on non sanctionable trade such as on food and pharmaceuticals you know this process is obviously unprecedented and its taken a lot of time its also caused a lot of the blame game back and forth between europe and iran but at the end of the day the transactions are going to be processed are there in the process of being operationalized and you know if that starts to actually decrease the inflationary impact of u. S. Secondary sanctions on average iranian households i think that will help a lot in addition to that the main thing that iran would like to see a major difference in is their ability to export oil this idea of the 15000000000. 00 credit line should also be conceived of as a 15000000000. 00 loan so there is a lot of practical in politically obstacles to get the entire on the in regime in all of its different pieces to agree to essentially being in debt to foreigners moreover its still unclear what such a line of credit would be in exchange for and lastly and most importantly its also absolutely going to be seen as in violation of u. S. Sanctions unless of course the u. S. Ignores it which theyre not going to because thats not legally permissible or if they issue waivers and the u. S. Yesterday came out and said that they would not issue a waiver for this 15000000000. 00 credit line so i think that europe needs to become more inventive in the coming days and focus on what theyre already have been have already undertaken in stocks but moreover we need russia and china as well as irans other traditional trading partners to really also try to figure out what economic challenges that iran faces which there are many they can help address to speak with you so hell show thanks for being with us. Plenty more ahead on nation news hour after the destruction across the bow hamas hurrican during threatens the eastern coast of the u. S. Facing scrutiny hong kongs leader throws her support behind an International Inquiry into Police Conduct and recent protests. And a former world player of the year watches as his team takes their 1st steps on the road to the Qatar World Cup show you have the best of the action later and. All less than i had to 1st at least 10 people have been killed and dozens wounded in a launch explosion in afghanistans capital kabul its all a bit of claim responsibility for the attack saying they targeted a Foreign Military convoy the blast was in an area close to foreign embassies and government buildings but speak now to our watney who is live for us in kabul so akbar what more do we know about what happened. As a massive explosion took place in one of the crowded with the spirit here in kabul when that attack could have taken one of the sentiments to check point and its noted it from a car full of explosives with 10 people have been killed and 42 other to reach everyone where the Afghan Ministry of interior they also told us that the that all children and women also in the wanted one is that i thought it likely that its possibly for the something and said that theyre talking to the Foreign Forces convoy because many if we see these that went off the these attacks from the taliban in the last couple of days and even more they attacked the former force against us here in kabul on the on the degree to what is right that a lot of the regions there and more than a 100 were wounded in that in that attack there also am one of the key province of afghanistan can do is read to put their flag up and theyre trying to capture the to province where the Afghan Security force. That i did and they pushed back that attacked us on the way. In kabul flying from the last few fielders and he is trying to discuss the draft Peace Agreement with the afghan president i should have let me and the local politicians here including former President Hamid karzai that a lot of concern raised about this busy with this peace peace peace draft because the trying to discuss with the u. S. The taliban will never stop these attacks and will never have a speck to the afghans because theyre targeting the its a real lens that getting this thing really ends and that theyre discussing this with the. U. S. And were hearing problem. Thank you. Means the director of the center for peace and Development Studies he says the attacks show the taliban are not negotiating for peace in good faith. In the time when were just close by to deal in taliban or just posing that type of traits what do you think next i believe the taliban leadership is playing a different brand of diplomacy in peace negotiation theyre shaking the right hand in the eye toward iraq at the left but that cannot happen all the time we are going to are just living in this country and they have to have it with mercy on the Afghan People in population things cannot happen overnight people who are water addicted you cannot expect them that they have to put guns on the ground in the just return to peaceful life i think thats expectation were not hoping that where just hoping cities you can leave things will change but im expecting that both the United States american the taliban leadership and also the afghan leadership should be ensuring that they are just giving hanes to each other theyre just putting all the dots together in finally bringing a kind of settlement where people are not dying if were dying were just losing hopes on the peace talk where still hoping that something good will happen but if such kind of attacks are occurring at the daily basis in an hour by hour as i think that can squash our hopes for the future of the number of People Killed from harken dorian in the bahamas has risen to 20 storms regain strength and is now a category 3 hurricane threatening the east coast of the United States the speed of the winds when dorian made landfall in the bahamas was the strongest on record the bahamian Prime Minister hubert mina says rescue operations are in full swing and has warned against looting. Im i woke up a lot has more on this from the island of a backhoe. This is the island of one of the worst hit areas by Hurricane Dorian the local air terminal was destroyed by strong winds and storm surge people now gathered by the runway looking for a way out. As we made our way toward the community of black would the scope of the devastation became even more apparent acres and acres of downed trees block the road. The region is still flooded but waters are finally starting to recede. In the capital nassau bolen tears are mobilizing to compile desperately needed Disaster Relief food medicine and bottled water. But access is limited to the areas most affected so right now were getting a lot of help from the military from the United States with the search and rescue and after that its going to be about getting food medical supplies and even volunteer teams to these islands that would have brought to you some of the volunteers sorting donations or tourists like george and maria who cut their vacation short to lend a hand i saw the news on the t. V. And i said i could go to the beach played on the beach enjoying my vacation and then i said i might see you my in the topic. Back on abaco island residents gather with their families to assess the damage many have lost everything for since us sitting on the side of the old no where to go some person scott even find a Family Member so it is really back. To this storm may be over but for thousands of bahamians the challenge of rebuilding their lives still lies ahead as you can see the devastation here is enormous power lines litter the streets theres no electricity no Running Water no Cell Phone Service and thousands of people have nowhere to sleep tonight theyve been left homeless waiting desperately for help to arrive and up in. Abaco the bahamas. All right in a few moments well have the weather with everton folks but still ahead on i. G. N. A. Demanding Job Opportunities tens of thousands of iraqi graduates take to the streets against unemployment. And in sports the best of the tennis action from the u. S. Open including the teenager why believe how well shes. My way we can see dorian this pulling away from the bahamas now of course as we were hearing it has strengthened slightly you can see the eye of the storm clearly becoming more and more apparent is that makes its way further north who is quite a big eye on that storm as well what a big storm its about 800 kilometers in width winds gusting to 185 promises power and see it is now a category 3 storm once again and those gusts in excess of 200 Kilometers Per Hour still moving pretty slowly so when the rain does set in it will be there for quite some time and of course theres that storm surge which will add to the flooding concerns that we have at that eastern side of the u. S. Over the next 24 to 48 hours or so thats a position of the storm and now its a go on into friday morning thats about the time we expect it to affect well the eye of the storm the center of the storms make its way towards the outer banks of North Carolina and eventually it will pull up into the open waters of the north atlantic so once it does do that it will move away quite quickly and you can see it is driving its way further more twists in the east which as we go on through the next 24 hours by the time we come to the weekend it will be clear of the coast.
