Well start with breaking news out of iran where an agreement has been reached to give the u. N. Nuclear watchdog access to 2 suspected former tomic sites leaders in iran announced it in a joint statement in tehran there with the International AtomicEnergy Agency the i. A. E. A. A president Hassan Rouhani there also promising to continue cooperation. Is in teheran for us now just take us through this announcement 1st of all how and why. Well the i. A. E. A. Chief grossi has been here for 2 days now he met the head of irans Atomic Agency has met with the head of the Foreign Ministry of odds revalue also met with president Hassan Rouhani and that the contentious issue were these 2 sites where it was alleged and decayed Nuclear Material that was used or stored from the early 2000 that one of these sites that i said had been partially demolished and the other location they said the activities that taken place efforts to sanitize that location from july 2019 onwards now iran hadnt granted access to these sites iran had issued this that these 2 sites were a part of the 2015 nuclear deal and then there was that resolution passed by the i. A. E. A. That was put forward by germany you can france demanding access to these sites so thought thats whats been taking place the talks around where the access will be granted and there were several statements made by iran calling on the i. A. E. A. To act in pasha the independently and professionally which led to grow see you saying that he didnt have a political orientation or a judgment and the organization wasnt politically influence but was under pressure but they were working hard not to allow that pressure to affect their work and it looked like a few days ago that iran stance was changing now irans Atomic Agency had said that they were willing to grant access to those 2 sites if there were any questions once and for all and that was very vague but it seems like there is an agreement now iran will grant access to these sites and the i. A. E. A. In return has said that they have no further questions based on the information that they already have or. Asking for any more access thats what iran wanted was to end questions once and for all and for no more access because already Irans Nuclear facilities of. The vacation but also the i. A. E. A. Has said in this joint statement that they will add. Professionally and will uphold the confidentiality regime standards and procedure and then confidentiality line is very important because iran is also concerned about its security and doesnt want its Nuclear Information shared with the United States ok so everything youve described on this side its sounding core deal and corporative the flip side of course was the United States trying to push sanctions back onto iran through the United NationsSecurity Council where where is that situation at the moment. Well the United States tried shes tried to initiate that mechanism that would have seen the United Nations sanctions we posed now so far they havent been successful because the Security Council has rejected that bid it doesnt mean thats the end of the story because because they could change that again when the u. N. Security Council Presidency changes in september but so far the International Community those 1514 or 13 members of the council in fact 13 members of council havent supported the United States and its prompted iran to see this as a victory. That the United States position a position he said has isolated them yet again and have president has done rouhani has said that the world should know that iran is committed to the. 2015 nuclear deal and the i. A. E. A. Should let the world know that iran is committed to the 2015 nuclear deal so iran very much is treating this as a victory but also this is a sense of iran showing the world that they are open and nothing to hide by granting access to these 2 sites and also still saying that they are very much invested very much still committed to that 2015 nuclear deal which the United States seems to be from the iranian perspective set on destroying not only the 2015 nuclear deal but also that u. N. Resolution that ratified that deal ok thats also keeping an eye on developments in tehran the. On to other news in the greek Prime Minister kim. Says his country will extend its territorial water claims westward in the ionian sea now this expansion it is legal it is in an area between greece and italy so it doesnt directly affect the territorial claims at the center of that growing to speak with turkey but its a talk as did add that greece may increase its claims in other maritime areas in the future. And i do know. Greece will extend the coastal zone to the west from 12 to 6 miles greeces growing others have said this building where the ones who are putting this into practice. Were for that announcement was made reject. Warned greece not to test turkeys patients turkish president added to turkey will quote never compromise on what is ours the 2 countries are in a standoff over maritime borders in the Eastern Mediterranean and the potential natural gas wealth which lies beneath it so you see we are determined to do what every region is here in the military political and economic sense we invite her counterparts to get it together and avoid mistakes that would bring the destruction. Ok so weve got this covered from 3 different angles this news hour cynical so you is in istanbul weve got dominic cain in berlin as well theres a meeting of e. U. Defense ministers there with the 2 of you shortly i want to start though with John Psaropoulos on skype from athens. Metaphors i can give you are pushing the boat out pushing the envelope basically greece seeing how far it can go and turkey well not happy with it. No indeed and in fact he since 976. 00 has warned greece that extension of its territorial war so thats where it exercises absolute sovereignty to the full 12 nautical miles allowed under International Law in the aegean would be a cause for war and that is a threat that greece has taken very ill and considers over these many years that turkey has been cornering it into not exercising its International Law rights so i think what the greek Prime Minister is trying to demonstrate to days is that turkeys actions do not lead to fetch accompli theyre not going to the greeks are not going to heat the threats of turkey in the east in asia or in the in the Eastern Mediterranean excuse me or in the aegean and its a warning to turkey that greece is now going to set aside that stress of course and begin to exercise its International Law rights unilaterally as the law allows it. It is also a subject of negotiation or has been between the 2 sides these many maritime zones that International Law discussing the 2 sides have been in a discussion about how far territorial waters should extend in the aegean but as this situation in the Eastern Mediterranean becomes more and more inflamed and as proceeds to do more and more unilateral explorations that the greeks object to the greek side feels and. To also demonstrate that it has rights and that it will exercise them and that. In some not doing. The legal things that greece has secured and now 31 is this extension of 12 nautical miles in the west rest actually greece can do the same in the achaean tomorrow. And secondly its maritime zone agreements with egypt and italy which were expected to be ratified by parliament some or so greece has 3 tangible legal results that this wrangle with to teach turkey has not succeeded. In the stablish its legal right to waters in the submitter indian claims by greece ok John Psaropoulos in athens thank you cynical cod lets bring you in from istanbul now when turkey when president talks about not wanting turkeys patience to be tested i mean does he give anything more about what that might actually mean. Welcome allah according to the turkish officials its not only for the current government but i have to say that it is the state of mind set in turkey. Greece efforts and the ija and its an Mediterranean Sea are seen as provocative steps and if for instance if for todays announcement by the greek Prime Minister we havent heard from the turkish officials yet as the decision covers only the sea between italy and greece but of course when it comes to the agency as also john pointed out any unilateral step from from greece in order to extend its territorial waters from 6 to 12 miles is seen as a spell as a as a means as a reason for war this is this was stated back in 1995 turkey in the turkish territory turkey believes that everybody is trying to exclude turkey from its rights in the seas surrounding the countries turkey is surrounded by seas both north west and south and especially when it comes to Eastern Mediterranean with turkey if it believes that there are so many players even players who doesnt have who dont have course in this the mediterranean but turkey is excluded in the game thats why turkey says its after its fries and the main dispute between the 2 neighbor countries and nature allies are actually because of the islands because according to greece each island has individual exclusive Economic Zone this is what turkey is against as greece is not an Island Country but a continental country but apparently the tension seems to be rising but what we have understood from yesterdays was that German Foreign minister was kind of. Harsh during his statement in athens but. Many as one of the leading countries of the e. U. Trying to make the between the 2 nato allies is pursued by turkey that the e. U. Is not totally for them going. To seize greece as the oil child of the e. U. With unconditional support but of course some will show whether dissension is really going to become a military tension into waters ok thank you cynical city there in istanbul finally dominant kain over in their berlin so we heard the outline dominate from our of the 2 correspondents the the war of words the tension thats right joining up whats the e. U. Actually trying to do about us. The problem the e. U. Has is that its relationship with turkey is very important remember the deal that exists between ankara and brussels regarding refugees which is of prime importance to both countries and yet at the same time the European Union has 2 key members in southeastern europe greece and cyprus who obviously its interests must also be protected and into that you must then throw the fact that the e. U. On its own has no military role its nato which is the guarantor of security in europe or at least has been since the late 1940 s. So you have whats going on here in berlin now at this informal meeting of defense ministers lots of expressions of the desire to find some sort of Modus Vivendi a way of diffusing the tensions interesting lee the nato secretary general u. N. Shortened back is here in berlin today and will be also tomorrow and the day after that because there is the meeting of Foreign Ministers taking place in early and on thursday which might even be more important whats happening today but mr shorten bag has called on both countries who are nato countries to try to diffuse the tension and he said that what the germans are trying to do to mediate is appreciated and in all of this you have that sense of they are trying to negotiate but the e. U. Does not include turkey and so while they are clearly hoping to be honest brokers there isnt a turkish presence at that table here in berlin today or tomorrow other than the words that are coming from ankara and those words clearly are riling for the government in greece which of course is represented at this meeting here in berlin thats john mccain rounding out our coverage of that story out of these to mediterranean thank you dominic. Lets have a look at what weve got coming up few on this news hour aljazeera defends an investigation into a citizenship scheme inside prison after its government dismisses all reports also storm season well underway the u.

Republican strategist joe watkins is with us now from philadelphia former white house aide actually to president george h. W. Bush nice to have you with us what just said there isnt that what the president should be say. Well i think that the milan the trump took advantage of the state of course these protests have been happening in just in the last couple of days at some point that shooting took place and malani that from took advantage of the fact that she was the keynote speaker at the convention and that she had a massive american audience listening and she took time to say what needed to be said about the need. For americans to to love each other. And not consider the color of a persons skin but to love each other because were all human beings with respect to that doesnt answer the question isnt that the type of thing the president should be saying the president s going to appear every night at this National Convention not just on his acceptanc
