And in sport in turmoil as coach says a team is ready to begin a new era of success and her aiming to win their 1st trophy in almost a decade in the Europa League final against sylvia. Welcome to news out top story the u. S. Secretary of state has requested u. N. Sanctions be reimposed against iran because iran has violated the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal that request would in theory begin a 30 day process that could result in a snap back of sweeping u. N. Sanctions but the validity of the u. S. Case is complicated by the fact that washington withdrew from the Iran Nuclear Deal 2 years ago. Says under the sanctions that iran would stop it would stop iran from enriching uranium or purchasing weaponry our message is very very simple did i say it will never allow the Worlds Largest state sponsor of terrorism to freely buy and sell planes tanks missiles and other kinds of conventional weapons the u. N. Sanctions will continue the arms embargo. The place to say to that these restored sanctions will also reimpose accountability for other forms of iranian line activity that the authors of the nuclear deal foolishly downplayed. Iran will again be prohibited from Ballistic Missile testing. Iran will be back under sanctions for Ongoing Nuclear activities such as the enrichment of Nuclear Material that could be applied to a Nuclear Weapons program well irans ambassador to the United Nations said that the u. S. Had no legal standing to reimpose sanctions its no longer a signatory to the Iran Nuclear Deal. Today the us attempted to mislead the international community. By resorting to lawyers contributions to supposedly initiate a mechanism under resolution 2231. 00 according to a conclusive legal fracs the us is not a j. C. If you are a participant and has no right to trigger the socalled its not an ism. Its arbitrary interpretational resolution 2231 cannot change history and thus we are of the Firm Conviction that the letter sent by the us today to the Security Council president all references there in is not on board and has no legal standing and thus you know admissible lets get more now from christian salumi has been following the story from United Nations headquarters in the has already been reaction from france germany and the u. K. Signatories to the iran deal who all sit on the Security Council now theyve made it clear that they oppose any unilateral u. S. Attempt to really impose sanctions what are they likely to do now. Well thats a very good question because we have 2 very strongly opposing sides here the way that the j c. P. O. And the snapback provision as its referred to is written into the deal is that any party to the deal can trigger the reimposition of sanctions within 30 days if it shows a violation of the deal so mike pompei i was secretary of state came to the United Nations submitted this letter showing what it says is the irans noncompliance the fact that it started reimaging youre a past amounts that it is supposed to that it was supplying weapons to various groups in the middle east and they say that that is enough under the deal to automatically reinstate these sanctions as you mentioned earlier other people say other countries on the Security Council say well the United States with drew from that deal and therefore they dont have the right to trigger snapback anymore and the position of the europeans here is very key this put the europeans in a very difficult position they are very keen to preserve the nuclear deal and so they said it in a statement germany france and the United Kingdom that they cant support the u. S. Move its a unilateral move that they say is incompatible with their efforts to support the deal so what is likely to happen the u. S. Will claim that the sanctions are in place others will say that they are not the u. S. Has threatened to sanction any country that violates the sanctions on iran we are likely to see a tense time in the Security Council in the u. N. For diplomacy but in terms of iran its also possible that things. That theres a wait and see approach iran indicated as marjoram said. Nothings going to happen in 30 days that theyre going to do anything in 30 days this isnt the council seat Everybody Knows that theres an election for president in the United States in november and so there may be some attempts to keep it low on the down low until the elections happen and see if a new administration is elected but really theres no clarity no mechanism here to solve that dispute when you have to when you have different positions between veto wielding members of the Security Council. Thank you very much from the United Nations chris sincerely thank you chris and all i can we can now speak to ashish production hes a senior United Nations analyst at the International Crisis group joins us live now from new york via skype so a very eventful off to noon there in new york we heard from actually say oh now he was making the argument that the u. S. Does have the right to pursue unilateral u. N. Sanctions on iran under the under resolution 2 to 3 want to use saying that that resolution is essentially independent of the text of the Iran Nuclear Deal is there a solid legal argument or mechanism for challenging the u. S. Argument. Well firstly i you know ill say that you know the secretary pompey statement has been consistent with what the u. S. Has been pushing for over the past couple of years on this issue asserting that despite its withdrawal from the g c p o if it retains the rights and privileges of a participant because of that one paragraph in resolution 2231 now is or is actually challenging the position i think we wont see much beyond what the ether we came out today you know which was for them big shift no prior to this u. K. France and germany and i think theyve been a little bit coy and a little bit cautious about openly coming out and resisting in rejecting the u. S. Legal standing claim but at the same time russia and china had been clearly. Asserting their claim that the u. S. Is no longer a participant now there have been claims that you know may be the International Court of justice or maybe the uns office of Legal Affairs could get involved realistically you know we do this is an issue primarily for the Security Council itself you know the Security Council is the only place that really dont expect there to be can i just ask you you dont expect there to be any kind of vote on any resolution in the next 30 days well if you listen to secretary pompei rose statement earlier i think he definitely expects a resolution being put forward that the u. S. Will veto a resolution that would have continued determination of sanctions now that could come from maybe the Dominican Republic the state that supported the u. S. Last week that the arms embargo vote but outside of that its hard to see you know whether the other participants will put forward a resolution russia certainly you know is hinting at you know maybe some procedural games that might happen at the council there might meeting even tomorrow to discuss this issue but you know the real challenge in this in this debate is is political rather than legal. Right so and i mean on that point then what is it enough for the european signatories of the Iran Nuclear Deal to sit on the sidelines and try to bribe their time and until november in order for this deal to be maintained in some way are there is there going to have to be more opposition from the european members of the Security Council of the United States well firstly. You know i think the a 3 havent necessarily been sitting on the sidelines in the period leading up to now again you know secretary compeer earlier today singled out the european members of the deal saying that they didnt do enough or didnt take any any good faith efforts but in reality in tehran one might say the same thing. Sure sure and i think that if we are in a very difficult position but they were working behind the scenes to try to find some merrells zone where there could be some way to keep so the concerns about conventional arms embargo expiring without you know really triggering a Nuclear Crisis which you know if you follow the u. S. Logic if snapback were to be legitimate you can really see that leading to a situation where iran walks away from the nuclear deal then you are youre back in a pretoria 15 situation and you have a Nuclear Device in your hands and thats really not to the interest of anyone and so across his group what weve suggested is that in fact it is probably the best thing for all the other members of the council and in fact a lot of the other Member States of the u. N. To talk hold their ground i think and so i just not true and on that point about Holding Holding their ground how much could this bring about a real crisis at the u. N. Security council just how much could it bring about more dysfunction than weve ever seen before and even if they do even if they do nothing even if they were to essentially ignore this u. S. Initiated process does it you know either way is it just going to completely undermine the Security Council. Thats certainly possible in the its a scenario that i think all Council Members have been dreading for basically the past year and we have to keep things in perspective and the council has been been in you know situations before like iraq 2003 where its faced you know serious challenges to it to its legitimacy and credibility now having said that you know we are in uncharted territory now because this is a situation where like you and your colleagues have already said you know the councils own permanent members are interpreted in its own decisions in different ways in possibly not recognizing the reimposition of its own resolutions so over the next couple of months i think what were going to see is 2 parallel realities one in which the u. S. Will assert that its triggered snapback which it did today that 30 days from now snap back has been successful because no one else was able to present a resolution claiming the opposite and then after those 30 days that all of the past u. N. Sanctions on iran have been reimposed on the other hand russia china the europeans and other members will claim that thats not the case the u. S. Doesnt have standing and i think that the next part of that will be the implementation of it and weve already seen signs that the u. S. Is willing to to push and pressure other countries to implement the sanctions aligned in their their domestic policies but i think there will be a Counter Campaign to to not to not basically you know implement any of the sanctions keep the Practical Impact of snapback you know very limited all with the aim of making sure that theres no damaging effect to the nuclear deal all right thank you very much for your analysis on that appreciate it. Joining us from new york ashford on the International Crisis group. Washable stood out for you on this news hour from london 2 weeks of demonstrations and still not giving in protest as in baton rouge defy warnings of the new government crackdown. We look at the future for mali the United Nations joins the regional condemnation of the military coup. And then later in sport cricket players are taking no chances as they head off to take part in the sports most lucrative league. Out steve brown a former chief strategist u. S. President ronald trump has pleaded not guilty to being charged with fundraising fraud accusations right to an Online Campaign that raised 25000000. 00 that was supposed to help build his Us Mexico Border will the department of justice says bannon received more than a 1000000. 00 of the money raised through a Nonprofit Organization hundreds of thousands of which he used to cover personal expenses is also facing a Money Laundering charge each charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 is in prison ok brothers on a joins us live now from new york whats been happening there. Well there still a lot of activity outside this courthouse as were waiting perhaps for steve bannon to walk out those front doors were not quite sure because we do know that he did post bond 5000000. 00 bond that was agreed upon with the judge and the prosecutors and the band and defense team he is in the courthouse but spoke to the judge via video link because of coronavirus concerns theyre trying to keep people as separated as possible through his lawyer he did plead as you mentioned not guilty to both of the charges the entire hearing lasted less than 15 minutes it was pretty quick bannon didnt say much at all other than a couple words to respond to the judge when she asked him a few questions but other than that it was pretty quick he will now according to the judges ruling will now onesies released from hero awaiting trial he will not be able to travel internationally and will only be able to truly move between a virginia connecticut washington d. C. And new york the 4 states where he has business interests ban and is basically accused up with 3 other people of setting up this nonprofit and asking for money from people to him. He said would go completely to build Donald Trumps border wall on the southern border but according to the indictment they received more than 25000000. 00 in contributions but the indictment says that steve bannon siphoned off about 1000000. 00 of that for his own personal expenses and that is very much in violation of setting up a nonprofit its quite frankly illegal and thats why there are these 2 counts against him hell have another hearing in a couple weeks from now but its important to point out that bannon is much more than just a one time long advisor to President Trump hes really the Global Leader of the right movement he supported for. Candidates and advised them in italy germany france and in brazil as well so this certainly has some International Ramifications in that regard but a long story short is banned in pleading not guilty he could be released from this jail house here any time this evening but wont be able to travel internationally as his trial will move forward all right thank you very much for the latest from new york April Elizondo all that has been some reaction from the u. S. President on all trying to this he has said that he was not aware of the allegations and that he feels sad his former adviser i think its a very sad thing for this to ben and i think its surprising but this was something as you know just by reading social media and by reading whatever it is and by speaking to mike and mike and all of them i didnt like that project i thought that was a project that was being done for showboating reasons i dont know that he was in georgia i didnt know any of the other people either lets now speak to political analysts an author eric can he joins us live via skype from washington could this be harmful for trump. Oh absolutely this could be because what this does is this reminds voters every day that President Donald Trump Signature Campaign issue back in 2016 building a wall along the u. S. Southern border and having mexico pay for it still has not come to fruition and now that his chief strategist steve bannon has been indicted on the salacious charges this is something that will remind voters every day that the president didnt get this done but more importantly now another and her of his vaunted team and a long line of them has now been indicted. It when you speak about voters i mean there is so much happening in the country right now challenges rating to the economy the coronavirus i know in terms of who is paying attention to this is it likely to change the sentiment all support for trump among his base how would you how would you break down the sort of public reaction there in the u. S. Sure right now when you look at the polling data and we have to remember president dont the election is less than 80 days away and President Donald Trump is losing both in the National Polls by anywhere from 7 to 10 points hes a recent poll out today and pennsylvania shows that hes down by 9 points so were talking about an incumbent who is losing in key battleground states that he will need to win in order to secure reelection and he needs more than just his base at this point to get em over the top and what he will need are suburban white women and those independent voters and right now and dependent voters will be turned off by this steve benen indictment because again its about this war that President Donald Trump said when he ran in 2016 that he would deliver so it highlights not only that the president not deliver on this border wall but as the coronavirus pandemic continues to rage and now we just find out this week more than 1000000 people have fallen for unemployment as a result of the continuing virus the president simply isnt getting it done combating this virus so when you throw this into the mix this only turns off those voters that desperate that donald trump right now desperately needs and order to secure victory right barack a lot of stuff can happen in 80 days weve seen this with the polls before joe biden might be in the lead now but is he going to be able to sustain it you wouldnt be so bold as to predict a smooth path to victory for him shawny no absolutely not but right now were looking at when you look at an election you look at it in snapshots and moment in time and at this time this is simply not good for President Donald Trump because we are already saying a number of people around him who have either been found guilty or played guilty to criminal wrongdoing and this is just another one and again it just continues to make it an uphill climb battle for president trying to really be able to turn this around. Eric thank you our story weve been following throughout the day a Prominent Russian opposition politician alexina valmy is critically ill in a siberian hospital after a suspected poisoning of ali is one of president Vladimir Putins staunchest critics the Anticorruption Campaign and became sick during a flight and his team suspect that something was put in a cup of tea that he drank at the airports germany and france have buzz off that medical cat and or a chance has mole. The groans of a man in obvious pain medics come down the aisle to help according to the person who films this footage on a flight from siberia to moscow its russian Opposition Leader alexina valmy later hes seen on a stretcher being put in an ambulance seemingly unconscious now in a coma in the city of doctors say theyre working to save his life is just really just michaels naturally poisoning is considered as one of the possible reasons of the deterioration of the condition but besides that there could be a number of acute states that lead to the same clinical signs we are working on everything eliminates confirm and work unfortunately i cannot tell you more. Never elmis colleagues are already convinced his illness doesnt have any natural cause. Your puppy. Dogs are speaking on a valleys live you tube channel his spokeswoman. Said doctors who told her they were confident hed been poisoned to start with and now too scared to say this she thinks whatever it was was in his tea and she also said claims made on social media that he was Drinking Alcohol the night before and this reacted with medication false. After initially being denied access no valleys wife yulia was eventually let in to see him but his personal doctor wasnt. Because its annoying that im not i cant see him id like to check up on him and i dont know and i asked if an ophthalmologist checked him and his retina there is a response from the people hes retina is alive. Charismatic sometimes abrasive and absolutely fearless alexina valmy is the most Prominent Russian opposition figure. I buy exposing the corruption of russias governing elite hes built a huge following of mainly young people drawn to protest by his investigative you tube videos valleys followers are shown a willingness to defy police battens and prison time the valley himself has spent repeated spells behind bars a fraud case started in 2014 landed him a suspended sentence a jail term for his brother and a ban for novelli himself to challenge putin in 28 teams president ial election. He has persisted despite the state pressure and despite the obvious risks of criticizing readymade putins rule. Another opposition figure Boris Nemtsov was shot dead near the kremlin in 2015 more have left the country the kremlin spokesman has wisner valmy a speedy recovery and says any poisoning would need to be confirmed by Laboratory Tests rory chalons down to 0. Well german human rights activists say that an ambulance act is ready to leave germany for siberia to pick out alexina valley this after french president Emmanuel Macron offered the Opposition Leader all necessary assistance in a News Conference with Germanys Angela Merkel dominic cain has more on that now from bella both leaders expressed their extreme concern about the situation of the dissident russian politician aleksey now valleys saying that they were deeply concerned by the reports of his ordeal and both leaders saying that they felt it very important that the exact circumstances of what has happened to him should be made clear should be investigated as soon as possible and both leaders then said that they would be prepared that they would allow their country to receive missiles in the in a medieval axis and are in other words if he was to be medically evacuated from. To either of their countries they would be prepared to facilitate that thats important because one german n. G. O. S one German Agency Nongovernmental Agency has said it is it is actively investigating flying mr nardelli from that situation that hospital in to berlin their hope being that he would be able to receive treatment in berlin in a way which might stem the effect of whatever house before him him certainly thats their aim and so far as the 2 leaders are concerned well they have expressed their extreme concern about whats happened to mr have on the. So one of those who can speak to the knicks on the tito hes a lecturer and modern european history at Queens University belfast joins us live via skype and speaking there about alexina volley being a fierce critic of president Vladimir Putin of him being an Opposition Leader but really this is a key figure in russian politics a name that everyone in the country would have heard of how how unsettling will this be for a people that well i mean you have to kind of keep it in proportion he is the main position leader has said that he is it goes by everybody in russia but he certainly is the most important position. To put it in for general atmosphere in russia. Damaging a figure like the public figure like. It is a huge decision because in the boston christmas certainly tried to keep. Him under control by various means from arrest and give him sentences pretty rowdy elections not register his pledges and so forth but they never tried to actually physically live in a team and if it proved that it was actually credit which we dont know for sure that it would be extremely disconcerting to get of picking russia but its a completely different level of violence. Which is very unfortunate it goes but in terms on of poisonings that have happened in the past these things are very difficult to prove. Yes unfortunately so. There is a particular if it happens in russia i mean weve seen that theres been a visitation done over what has happened abroad with the souls very and in that with litvinenko of london in russia of course there are if it was an interest implicated in this that it would be almost impossible to prove otherwise although as said if there are tests done brought on and even the some kind of unusual poison fund alt which only special services can help in russia then it will shed some light on that when a hypothetical question just related to a comment you made there about politics in russia taking a turn for the worse if it does if people at least perceive that he was deliberately targeted by the russian state and if his condition takes it at the terry rates what might the ramifications be well im not i dont think theyll be got a funny. Evolution in the street bieber because of that of course his his supporters will be very upset and hawk or there could be demonstrations in russia and so forth but i think long term implication would be this you know a huge stain on the on the russian authorities are regime thats you know the main Opposition Leader is basically being physically threatened or eliminated by them bets that doesnt bode well with them and i have to say i mean it doesnt on the face which doesnt really look make any sense for the authorities to do anything like that to their knowledge because at the moment there is no major threat from him to them because theres no National Elections as the National Protests there are some local elections coming up in september but essentially its. There is no critical threat from him so im very puzzled why would they even try to do it so its counterproductive and works against the interests of the kremlin for this to have happened. Well i think for us from my point of view yes because what they want is to build socalled managed democracy where you have the results of primary much under control but at the same time you have off this outlets of steam in various places and some elements of competitive politics and the holy of course was at the forefront of all this in russia and killing him i would oblige i mean i just understand what would drive them unless its a could also of course peace somebody else because hes been doing a lot of and to corruption investigations which would upset a lot of powerful people as well in russia so that can be discounted either on xander tito from Queens University belfast thank you very much for joining us. Is that most still to come for you on the program mexicos missing generation mothers call for action against a rising tide of child disappearances.

With all the developments the us federal judge has rejected President Trumps latest attempt at shielding his tax records from the Manhattan District Attorney who has now filed an emergency motion to delay handing them over and its unlikely theyll be made public before the november election requests for trumps tax return stems from a criminal investigation into the president and the trump organization.

Vastness inside the country and has been following developments in the capital minsk. Added the Tension Center where after the election the protests started thousands of people were detained and also badly beaten and even torture of a many have been released up to 4000. But theyre still around 3000 people detained people are gathering here every day now to try to get their personal belongings back and that seems to be quite a struggle also theres also some unclear reports that there are many people not accounted for at this moment though its an hour more than 10 days that this Police Crackdown has happened meanwhile also protesters today seem to be pretty quiet so far what we know is there is a lot of threats coming from the authorities so toward. A day old in one order to sign some kind of paper saying they will refrain from a Political Activities but still as we saw last night despite all the threats by.

We have no political ambition we are soldiers we have other progressives other missions to deal with our objective is through the various meetings we had with the various social and political groups to hand over rapidly the powers to a civilian transition for the continuity of the state and we are all aware today of the political and security situation mali is going through.

Cutting financial and economic ties and membership of the party. On thursday from sonos its keeping its forces in mali to help bring peace to the region but without a civilian government and the continued threat of course these are challenging times for many in mali but he agrees aljazeera. India is struggling in its battle to contain the coronavirus pandemic the country has reported a new record increase in daily infections almost 70000 on thursday that brings indias total number of cases to almost 2800000 is the 3rd worst hit country in the world but Health Authorities have said theyve rapidly increased screening with almost a 1000000 tests conducted in one day and Indian Health officials have released the latest results of an Antibody Survey Elizabeth Branham has the details from new delhi. Health minister says that 29 point one percent of delhis residents have antibodies to the corona virus thats out of the latest c. Logical survey which tests for antibodies it was conducted in the 1st week of august testing around 15000 samples now dellys confirmed number of cases is just over 156000 but the indicates that the real number of cases are closer to around 6000000 given that the capital has a population of around 20000000 and a survey is being done around the country paint a similar picture the results of the survey in the city of pooling from earlier this week thats in maharashtra the worst affected state that showed that over 50 percent off the citys 6000000 population have antibodies now one of the big reasons for the discrepancy between the confirmed number of cases in india and what syrian logical surveys show is the relatively low level of testing and thats one of the reasons why the Indian Government has really ramped up testing it conducted more than 100000 tests on wednesday it wants to be conducting east 1000000 every single day but the other problem is the number of the quicker but less accurate rapid and teachin tests that are being used up to 30 percent of all the tests in the country other less accurate rapid antigen tests and on wednesday demis high court once again expressed concern that the government in delhi is using double the number of rapid adhesion tests and is as it is the test the more accurate test thats known as the r. T. P. C. Russias sputnik cove in 1000 vaccine is being tested 140000 people to get domestic Regulatory Approval the vaccine has already been hailed as safe and effective by russian authorities and scientists off to a small scale human trial as a result of this trial havent been publicly released leading skepticism over its safety and effectiveness the state is also set to begin inoculating high risk groups but only on a voluntary basis are now moving to the fires in california more than 100 homes have been destroyed dozens more damaged as lightning sparked wildfires continue to burn in Northern California thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes near San Francisco california governor Gavin Newsome says 367 a burning across the state following a record heat wave a statewide emergency has been declared lets go live to rob reynolds in los angeles so hundreds of fires still burning rob.
