More arrests in belarus as protesters marched for another day calling on the president to step down. So the u. S. Has broken with the all other permanent members of the u. N. Security council and declared socalled snapback sanctions on iran americas major allies britain france and germany have already written to the u. N. To say sanctions relief will remain in place all of this over the Iran Nuclear Deal which washington pulled out of 2 years ago and so the other signatories say the u. S. Can no longer or no longer has the legal power to force through any changes diplomatic editor james bass has more. Its aroud its even pitted the u. S. Against some of its closest allies and its now over 5 years since the Iran Nuclear Deal was signed in vienna joining the negotiations the us team under the leadership of the then 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 Trump that pulled out of the deal 2 years ago. Despite this in 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 dont think its as easy as some people have made it out to be that president im certain i want that yes and then everything we go back to school and see how i think actually youre i mean on certain points you argue that the man out in station or the sanctions or other countries may see the United States issues coming out of. Your ass so i think its going to be much more complicated than just. Yet diplomat. 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 whatever washington says it seems that the plan to snap back sanctions has failed james. At the United Nations thats running through some of the reaction 1st of all from the russians they are signatories to the Iran Nuclear Deal deputy ambassador to the u. N. Tweeted this its very painful to see how a great country humiliates itself opposes in its obstinance delirium other members of the un Security Council he goes on to say the Security Council rejected the u. S. Demands as a legitimate last month also frances ambassador to the uns commented saying the european signatories of the iran of the Iran Nuclear Deal remain committed to its implementation he says un sanctions on iran continue to be lifted. And i said bake in tehran any reaction coming out of there. Well the rain reaction has been pretty much consistent that is that the United States is in no position to reimpose these sanctions or even trigger. Back mechanism because theyre no longer part of that 2015 nuclear deal that devolves reef the foreign minister here was speaking last night now he reiterated that point but there does seem to be concern from the iranians about United States unilaterally actions such as stopping iranian ships now iran has warned if that does happen iran will respond we dont know how they will respond but just remember where iran is located geographically through that strategic strait of hormuz where 20 percent of the worlds oil passes through and its most narrow point is around 39 kilometers long now has been a military buildup by the United States in the region and this all is a potential for a miscalculation by iran is consistent they have warned that if iranian ships are stopped there will be a response and that is troubling but also here on the streets we were talking to people and they say the situation is already bad theres already sanctions against iran on their Banking Sector and the oil sector inflation is all time high the economy is struggling and the currency has lost a lot of its value so people are saying how bad can it get but theres also that concern that actually it could get far worse. Iran is concerned there will be no sanctions. 18th of october the arms embargo the import of arms embargo will be lifted iran to buy and sell weapons ok so thered be a bit of speculation about how iran might respond what about support for iran does it have other countries on its side. Well iran has russia and china on its side and if the United States had been successful in that resolution putting it forward it was expected that russia and china will veto it now as far as iran is concerned the europeans are not really in support they they believe that the europeans not really standing up to what they call u. S. Pulling is making them really a part of u. S. Action they want the europeans to stand up to the United States and iran is relying on russian and chinas support they also expecting once the arms embargo is lifted to buy weapons from those 2 countries so in that sense they do have support and they have to run has consistently reiterated that the United States is isolated then here in iran thats seen as a massive victory for them. In teheran with all of that thank you for that. To other news and protesters in thailand have continued their calls for a reform of the political system and even the monarchy demonstrators placed a plug in the park next to the grand palace and blown call tens of thousands of protesters also called for the resignation of the Prime Minister it took power in a coup and then one disputed elections last year when hey as more from bangkok. Well 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 place. 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 that as another sign that the king was strengthening his power and perhaps turning thailand back into an absolute monarchy again. In the United States people are mourning the death of Supreme CourtJustice Ruth Bader ginsburg but a bitter partisan battle is also brewing over the implications of her passing just weeks before the election President Trump says he will nominate a woman replacement next week and Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell insists hell hold a vote before the election many say thats not consistent with his refusal to allow then president obama to name someone back in 2016 john hendren has more. President donald trump says he will appoint a woman next week to succeed Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg who died on friday to the u. S. Supreme court it will be a woman a very talented very brilliant. With trumps rival Democrat Joe Biden insisting that the next president should name a successor the nomination battle puts ginsburg at the center of yet another supreme fight even after her death let me be clear that the voters should pick the president the president should pick the justice for the senate to consider trump might face obstacles within his own party in a statement republican senator Susan Collins said i do not believe the senate should vote on a nominee prior to the election but Republican Leaders in the senate which confirm Supreme Court justices have vowed to move quickly i think theyll pick someone who is ready to hit the ground running as they say ready to go before a. Senate moments notice and begin to circulate on capitol hill and it courtesy calls for the death of the Supreme Court justice just 46. 00 days before a president ial election has the republican Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell parsing his own words after refusing to consider then president Barack Obamas nominee for 237. 00 days today i am nominating chief judge Merrick Bryant garland to join the Supreme Court at the time mcconnell said the election was too close to approve a nominee. Well appropriately revisit the matter when it considers the qualifications of the nominee the next president nominate whoever that might be now mcconnell has vowed to go ahead even though this time the vacancy occurred less than 7 weeks before an election only one nomination has come closer to election day that was in 1064. 00 now ginsbergs name is attached to another struggle this time over her successor john hendren aljazeera chicago. Joseph uta is a professor at texas a and m. Universitys campus here in doha where he specializes in the u. S. Supreme court and says that the Republican Party controls the senate its not a certainty that a Trump Nominee would be confirmed. The leadership of the Republican Party of the last 4 years or any god will be as aggressive as possible and using the product of their office to move forward with a nomination from the white house and the confirmation from the senate but of course not all republicans are in the same political circumstances and not all of them are equally on board with the president and his agenda so i think the large majority of republicans will be eager to fill that seat and hold a confirmation hearing with a vote but it would take only a small number of defections of republicans who are either facing difficult reelections or have principal objections to ignoring the rules as they argue for so recently in 2016 and that might the rails a Quick Response to Justice Ginsburg asked theres not a democrat in the white house they dont hold of a majority in the senate so aside from campaigning on the issue both in the president ial election and in the Senatorial Campaign that are ongoing and trying to use public pressure to peel off his little Republican Voters in the senate theres very little they can do the question becomes if the president is exceptional and filling the seat and if you move the election what will the democrats do in the next term to try to undermine. Your midnight judges. In the news ahead a reprieve for american uses of the chinese talk on the eve of a ban in the u. S. There are some conditions though well have a look at that and.

And there is a fairly quiet picture across much of the middle east well into bits and pieces of travel really nothing more than that the winds have been light and theyll stay fairly light as well through sunday maybe just a little bit stronger through the interior of iraq so we could just have some sound picked up but youll notice we have got a few showers that are all evolving across into central west as a turkey to become more widespread as we move on through monday is that the cloud also begins to spread across much of the country on towards the caspian sea again those showers could just travel into more Northern Areas of iran temperature wise you go 44 in baghdad on monday and 36. Has been about this level for the last few days feeling a little bit humid but to even say not too bad a tool for september then into Central Africa lots of activity here. And again with abusing a few more of those further south into more Northern Areas of angola but when you have further to the south it really has been about the winds coming from the interior and how much is have been well above the average devotes juana on the north east of south africa along the coast we could just see some fairly brisk winds developing on monday and that will keep things a little bit cool there but it does begin to improve in botswana temperatures coming back down close to the average a similar scenario across in johannesburg.
