More arrests in belarus as protesters march for another day calling on the president to step down. The u. S. Has broken with all other permanent members of the u. N. Security council and declared socalled snapback sanctions on iran americas major ally is britain france and germany had already written to the u. N. To say sanctions relief will remain the dispute is over the Iran Nuclear Deal which washington pulled out of 2 years ago the other signatories say the u. S. No longer has the legal power to force through any changes our diplomatic editor james spader reports. Its aroud its even pitted the us against some of its closest allies its now over 5 years since the Iran Nuclear Deal was signed in vienna during the negotiations the us team under the leadership of the very end secretary of state john kerry devised a mechanism called snap back if iran breached its commitments all International Sanctions could snap back into place but thats not the way things played out the United States will withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Deal it was the u. S. Under president. The pulled out of the deal 2 years ago. Despite this and objections from the rest of the International Community the u. S. Still argues it could trigger a snapback the one thing that the Previous Administration got right is they created provision where under u. N. Security Council Resolution 2231. Any one of the nations identified there had the right to say we want the sanctions that were in place prior to this that moment to snap back and thats what will do the rest of the world have ignored the u. S. Declaration and in some ways more important than snap back is what happens on november the 3rd but one of the diplomats who negotiated the iran deal told me even if joe biden is elected president on that day getting back into the deal might not be that easy i mean i think it is easy as some people have made it out to be. President im certain i want that yeah and then everything distributed we go back to school and see i think actually your army wants you or that 8 men out in station or the sanctions or other countries receive the United States i mean out of. Your ass so i think it is going to be much more complicated than just the station yet diplomats say behind the scenes a great deal of pressure was put on the other members of the Security Council to support the u. S. Position only one country the small nation of Dominican Republic did say whatever washington says it seems that the plan to snap back sanctions has failed james bays aljazeera at the United Nations well doug bandow is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute he says the trumpet ministration has misjudged iran. Well its quite embarrassing for the United States it only got the Dominican Republic a very small country very close to the u. S. To support it 13 members refused to recognize this the u. S. Tried to bring it to the Security Council for discussion and was rejected by the president of the Security Council at the time so look us looks very foolish and very isolated for the you know that a country of this power that has dominated the United Nations for so long to get so little support shows how badly the Trump Administration has misjudged this issue but what the administration will have to do is create its own sanctions on this like it has done on other issues because no other member of the Security Council that matters is going to recognize them and most members of the United Nations will not recognize them so the only way the United States can move forward would be to have its own sanctions on other companies on other countries and that will create additional hostility which the u. S. Has run into because the prior sanctions that applied apply to European Companies and others so this again is another problem for the United StatesSenate Spring in the rainy days are such at the center for strategic studies and joins us live now from tehran possibly the iranians have already said look the reimposition of u. N. Sanctions is a full scale a man they know it wont happen so how is iran doing this decision by the trumpet ministration. All previously u. N. Security Council Resolutions and Nuclear Related sanctions will not be restored simply because the United States wants them to be restored the United States is not in a position to trigger the snap back of sanctions simply because it is no longer a participant to the j scipio way its not in a legal position to do so defers to initiate the snap back sanctions is to be part of a participant and the United States drew from the nuclear deal unilaterally so. The u. S. Announcement doesnt bring any changes nothing is going to change on the ground as of today sanctions will not be restored and end the United States has abjectly failed on iran and President Trump is warning that there be consequences for countries that dont support the u. S. Move but on the other side irans foreign minister has also now warned other countries to resist the american move why do you think iran is to make these threats now. Iran is resorting to common sense the International Community not to allow him not to allow. Trying to bully the world and this is at a time when even americas closest allies have refused to cooperate with unilateralism. Donald trump is is following a policy of scorched earth. A strategy to ruin and destroy anything remains of the j. Scipio way so that in case a democratic president is elected joe biden the most be in a position to revive the nuclear deal as he has promised to do so as i dont know yet im going to say thats an important point to make because some experts say these snap back sanctions will be aimed at provoking a confrontation with iran in the run up to the u. S. Election so just tell us in a bit more briefly how the iranians see things playing out before the election. From irans point of view the world is not going to cooperate with a unilateralist president s just weeks before depress densher elections in the United States. I believe that europeans will resist the us pressure and play stable wait until the november elections to see what happens then but it doesnt make no it doesnt change the fact that the trumpet ministration has suffered a humiliating defeat in the case of iran president needs to gain points to make. To make gains so that he cant increase his chances for reelection and that has failed in this case i pod or any good to get your thoughts thank you very much indeed for talking to our to 0. Now protesters in thailand are continuing their calls for a reform of the political system and the monarchy demonstrators have placed a plaque in the field next to the grand palace in the capital bangkok tens of thousands of protesters are also calling for the resignation of the Prime Minister who took part in a coup and one disputed elections last year wayne hay joins us live now from the thai capital waynes the protesters have been continuing their calls for reform of the monarchy whats the significance then of this plaque. With the significance 1st of all is the location where the protest was held tens of thousands of people turning out on saturday and where this park has been placed on number one which is the park that you mentioned just across the road from the grand palace its a Historic Site its been the scene of many royal ceremonies for centuries and it used to be a place that was open to the general public to use during the day as well but in recent years thats not been the case its been off limits to the public so the protest leaders made it clear that that was one of their targets they wanted to retake this park for the people and thats exactly what they did and in the early hours of sunday morning they dug up a section of the concrete in the park and place this plaque into that area and now the significance of the park itself is that it commemorates the 1932 revolution that turned thailand from an absolute monarchy into a constitutional one so the plaque says that thailand is for the people not just for the king 3 years ago an official plaque in another location nearby mysteriously disappeared overnight so that was seen by many certainly the protesters here and as another sign that the king was strengthening his power and perhaps turning thailand back into an absolute monarchy again and when so whats their plan now going forward. Well again it was pretty impressive on saturday into saturday evening the early hours of sunday morning a huge crowd. The largest protests that weve seen since the military coup in 2014 tens of thousands of people the plan was to camp overnight certainly the numbers dwindle but a significant number of protesters stayed until sunday and then the plan was to march to another important location where this park is located is surrounded by not just the grand palace that you mentioned earlier but also many other roiling government buildings they said that they would march to the office of the privy council which is the advisory body to the family but they were met by a very Large Police Presence just outside the park as you can see behind me so that wasnt going to be possible so some representatives from the protest leaders were allowed to go through those police lines meet with a representative of the privy council and deliver those demands directly to them to reform the political system in thailand and to reform the monarchy so this is certainly not the end for this protest Movement Effect its really being being seen as just the beginning and i think well see many more large rallies in the weeks and months ahead all right away in haiti live for us there in the thai capital bangkok wayne thank you. U. S. President donald trump says he could announce a nominee to replace Supreme CourtJustice Ruth Bader ginsburg as early as next week ginsburg died on friday after a long battle with cancer democrats even a few republicans say her replacement should not be nominated until after the president ial election trump says he will most likely nominate a woman i will be voting for the nominee next week it will be a woman i would be honored would you rather have a woman on the Supreme Court yes one yes i was i am sure was those yeah. So would you rather have over or would you rather have a man on the supreme. Well among those disagreeing with trump is republican senator Susan Collins from the state of maine she says and i quote the decision of a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court should be made by the president who is elected on november 3rd thats the position republicans also took back in 2016 under barack obama when he tried to nominate a judge to the court before that years election but particle haneys in washington d. C. She explained the position the republicans are taking. So you just heard the president is promising the crowd that hes going to fill that seat he told reporters before leaving the white house that he likely would nominate a woman and he would do it soon possibly by this coming week unclear if hes going to wait for the funeral of Ruth Bader Ginsburg really was like within the hour after they announced that she had passed the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell kim said he was going to fill the seats despite the president that he himself said under president obama so heres the problem for the president and senator mcconnell they have 45. 00 days to the election most Supreme Court justices takes months that in normal times they meet with pretty much every u. S. Senator its really a lobbying campaign to try and get this done 45. 00 days thats going to be tough the other tough thing for the senator is what his own members have said on the record dont forget it was in march the president barack obama put up a nominee and the republicans at the time said no no you cannot put up a justice in an Election Year so now were 45 days but were seen senators like Lindsey Graham who came out and swore that he would never put up a Supreme Court nominee in the middle of a president ial campaign hes now saying that hes fine with it that he thinks they should do it in the 45 days but he does senator mcconnell doesnt have huge numbers she just needs a couple of his own members to say no were not going to do that to really have a tough fight at his hands so far weve heard from 2 senators 2 female republican senators who are pro choice say that they believe that this should be held until after the election so all eyes are going to be on a couple of republican senators they have very little time on the clock and very little room to maneuver with when it comes to the actual numbers.
