This is a nice job to. Make me. Believe that. The 18 edition was. Made to get the only player who was. In the ok. I cool name we didnt hear all these. Newcomers. We didnt think there was. Sort of awesome is live for us from minsk joins us from band al step how much concern is there in the capital there about the prospects of sanctions. Well its been a delicate balancing act here between the opposition and also europe on these sanctions and the pressure that they want to put on the. Regime out of fear that his regime will be furder in the influence fear of russia but clearly patience is running out there was a meeting last week a week ago exactly between look and president putin and russia in that meeting put and has reiterated his support for look at shankar fully he promised one and a half 1000000000. 00 for his regime so basically whats happening now is that the opposition and also the European Union has been stepping up the pressure on the lookout shanker and of course there has been an angry response from the side of look at shanghai but also from moscow about it even the visit of the kind of skier to brussels has led to an angry response from the ministry of Foreign Affairs a spokeswoman in most saying this is an interference in internal affairs its on the my in the sofa ran a team of balor was and also shows that europe wasnt telling the truth when it was saying that it wasnt interested in any geo political act here in valor was this of course always been the fear underside of putting that bellows would fall into the influence fear of europe and mainly nato so thats why this balancing act has been happening since the start of the political crisis but now as i sat patience is running out and the pressure is actually going up talking about pressure officials announced just what a couple of hours ago that there were hundreds of arrests in yesterdays protests how is that impacting the situation there. Yes thats has been look at shank us response the more pressure is coming from my. From the European UnionEuropean Parliament actually adopted a resolution last week saying that from the 5th of november thats the official and. They wont accept him as a president of fishley anymore and they want to discuss any relations with belarus with the opposition so that has angered. A lot since then the tensions have increased and also the crackdown on the opposition have increased 442 people were detained on sunday on saturday we had 400 women detained its basically our no weekly basis more than a 1000 people maybe 2000 people on a weekly basis in total in the last 6 weeks since the election result was announced more than 12000 people have been detained here in belarus many of them have been released but the opposition is still behind bars if not had to was forced to flee the country of course this has led to a lot of trauma and increasing anger actually on the side of the people here and bellows its not having the effect that look at shankar wants which is that people are too afraid to take to the street no they are not afraid to go to the streets and continue to go to the street. Right thanks so much to fasten in minsk. Now the uns Nuclear Watchdog says iran has complied with demands for access to sensitive science the comments from the International AtomicEnergy Agency were made during the groups annual conference in vienna comes a day after the u. S. Declared it will unilaterally bring impose sanctions on iran under a clause of the nuclear deal while irans Supreme Leader says the country will not back down in the face of what he called aggression sunday irans president threatened a strong response if sanctions are imposed britain france and germany saying sanctions relief will continue. Joins us now from the iranian capital so i said as i mentioned there are some comments from the i. A. E. A. About iranian compliance how those going down in iran. Well its just to reiterate what theyve already been saying now last month the head of the grocery had visited iran over these 2 sites that iran had been blocking access to grossly met with president has and rouhani foreign minister divides of the high ranking officials in that officials are now what came out of those meetings was that iran would grant access now that i see that they have taken samples from one of these sites thats alleged Nuclear Material stored or used in the early 2000 so theyve taken material from one of these sites and that will be analyzed and access to the 2nd site will take place later this month and its important to note that i already has access to irans new Nuclear Sites and they are under 24. 00 sevenths online monitoring so if the United States was looking for some sort of ammunition against iran why the i. A. E. A. Well they havent got that the. Thing that the way forward is diplomacy and that will be warmly received here in iran because the iranian officials were keen to show that they were complying they were keen to show that this was a goodwill gesture in terms of granting access to those sites now the same time the Supreme Leaders had some comments about what he called the double standards when it comes to arming iran this is a sensitive time or. An appropriate time shall we say or its quite timely given the deadline thats approaching for the expiring of the arms embargo on. Absolutely he was speaking on the occasion of the start of the iran iraq war 40 years ago and what he said was that the west the United States and the west armed iraq gave him weapons but didnt arm iran and he said specifically talking about the west he said that the europeans trampled over their human rights when they were dealing with iraq and arming Saddam Hussein and said this is the west we should remember this we should keep these memories in mind when dealing with the west now thats a message not just for the iranian citizens its a message to the institutions here and the politicians but also western leaders and hes letting the west know this is the pro choice the approach to iran takes that it has been shaped by that conflict the iran iraq war and how the west armed hussein so iran is still very suspicious and skeptical of the west and in terms of buying arms well yesterday divides the foreign minister said that iran hasnt bought had has had arms trade with the west since the 1979 revolution here and theyre looking to friendly countries essentially russia and china but how many of the spiritual and political leader of the country also issued a warning he said that any aggressor should know that iran is that we know iran is and we can they would think twice before attacking the country because they know that iran wont be backing down from a fight or as a bait that. Iran continue discussion that we have sound sharp joining us is a policy fellow at the European Leadership Network hes also a Nuclear Security specialist joins us from london good to have you with us as im sure youre aware the i. A. E. A. Has been holding its meetings is the controversial u. S. Announcement of reimposing u. N. Sanctions impacting how the. Can work and carry out its mandate. I thank you 1st of all for having the simple answer is no the agency and iran have come to an agreement on the issues that they had over 2 particular sites but even through the coded pandemic the agency has been granted access to all of the sites that you were on is meant to give access to last year there was a Record Number of over 400 inspections in addition to kind of complimentary access visits which are on short notice and also Real Time Monitoring through the incredible Verification Technology thats part of the Iran Nuclear Deal last week we had the board of governors convening where the u. S. Tried to again. Socalled iran in noncompliance with the agreement but they were very isolated the meeting this week the i. E. A general conference is an annual gathering where all Member States not just the ones on the eve board of governors will meet to approve the agencys budget to discuss outstanding issues etc but the general consensus is the meeting will not have iran feature heavily on the agenda as it did in last week at the board of governors meeting and thats mainly because the agency and iran are in a good place at the moment its becoming clearer and clearer how much isolation the u. S. Is facing specially in the Security Council is that the case and the i. A. E. A. As well. Absolutely the ether e you know americas closest longstanding allies had a statement at the board of governors meeting just last week as did many other countries which firmly stated what their opinion is on us standing on snapback and its participation after it stopped complying with the j. C. Self so the us is you know trying the strategy of america 1st but realistically in real terms its looking very much like america a lot of and that is happening not just in new york but in vienna as well at the at the agency how does that impact though how the i. A. E. A. Can kol iran to account. The worlds preeminent superpower main power in the un. Is not abiding by the same commitments on the. Well exactly what the u. S. Has done by trying to. Get in really what he did by leaving the iran deal in the 1st place which is backed by the u. N. Security Council Resolution which it doesnt undermine is it damages the authority and legitimacy of the council and the u. N. At large to Carry Forward decisions and respect of the respect of the same city of agreements so you know you can think of it in this way say you have 2 parties that are getting married right everything that goes into a marriage that is important is trost loyalty communication when you get married theres a marriage certificate save those things break down the trust the communication the loyalty and somebody asks for a divorce you cannot then 2 years later refer back to the marriage certificate and say that because my name is on this search i think it im entitle to the benefits that i was entitled to under the marriage that i was once a part of you know the United States its a its we dont need a long legal or political explanation as to why what the United States is doing is absurd it is just basic common sense and you know i think that most International Leaders the International Community at large as well as International Organizations are all very much noting the fact that there is no consensus on whether the snap back process was even initiated so the strategy at large is basically to ignore the fact that the United States has done this and realizing that trump will probably have to resort to unilateral measures on his own and hes trying to do this mainly to look tough on iran ahead of the u. S. President ial election but everybody is holding their breath to see what the election result is and say if former Vice President joe biden wins then theres going to be a lot of hard work that has to be done by the europeans and others to try to rebuild the trust but to put in place a kind of interim arrangement and get things back on track rather quickly. All right thanks so much for analysis. Thank you for having me protesters have defied Security Forces in egypt to hold antigovernment protests police fired tear gas in these are just south of the capital cairo the demonstrators are calling for president of the fact that his c. C. To step down. Those protests continued into the night in the egyptian capital these are pictures of a march through one neighborhood demonstrators were heard chanting slogans against the military in egypt 2nd largest city alexandria there was a heavy Police Presence security had been heightened across the country after calls for Mass Gatherings exiled opposition figure 100. 00 ali the former contractor for the Egyptian Military is asking protesters to stay out until their demands are met to how most egyptians unite out of love for the egyptian people take back your country again dont leave it in all cities hands down with the sisi regime down with the sisi regime dont go home do not go if you go home they will detain us dont go home were in the streets and now we need to stay there. William lawrence is a professor of Political Science and International Affairs at the American University he says most egyptians are still reluctant to take part in demonstrations. Well theyre not that large not that widespread yet but thats largely because of the actions of the egyptian regime it were over a 1000 preemptive detentions that metro stations bus stations areas like this and theres been a crackdown arrests of intellectuals University Students so common citizens all to preempt larger protests i think whats important here is not. Their size and the protests over the fact theyre happening at all in such a tightly controlled situation and really provoked by nothing as this is just the anniversary of the protests last year now we do have an egyptian citizen die from torture maybe 2 weeks ago you have a large lawsuit with us against the former Prime Ministers and i think that should be torture and so all of this is really about chinas. Vice grip Human Rights Violations egypt and i expect larger future. Where theres continuing humiliation of egyptians by regime officials and of course the Living Conditions getting steadily worse so all that comes together to create a certain alcoa level of anger and then each potential protester has a choice do i go out and was being arrested a risk if i arrested to have my family cracked down upon or am i gonna sort of play it cool and wait for a larger protest. Plenty more on the news hour including. Sudan braces for more heavy rain as it deals with the cleanup from record high flooding probably lives by the river nile state. Not paying the price how the worlds richest people are fueling a warming Global Climate and its more of sanjays they can secure a last 2nd win in the n. B. A. Playoffs and we will be here with that story. Of. How governments across europe are re imposing restrictions to combat cope with 19 is the number of new infections rises in spains camp thought partial lockdown has come into force around 850000 people in madrid will only be allowed to leave their area for work school or Health Care New rules are also being implemented in 2 french cities deemed virus red zones more than 10000 new infections were confirmed in france on sunday and in the u. K. The government is again warning stricter measures could come into place if cases continue to rise on the back is following the story from outside westminster in london but 1st lets go to paris and the tasha battle and the tasha lets start with france numbers there rising how much concern and worry is that causing. Well it is cause for concern because in the past 24 hours weve seen 10000 new cases of corona virus being registered and weve seen cases climb steadily over the last few weeks what we havent seen until now though is hospital admissions really going up but that does seem to have changed doctors in some cities including mass same bordeaux is seeing saying that theyre seeing so many people coming into hospitals now that theyre intensive care units could be under serious pressure very soon if that continues to be the case now the french government is continuing to tell people to be extremely vigilant and what is done in order to try and avoid a National Lockdown because thats something that the government has said repeatedly it wants to do it is given thora to ease in the regions and the local regions to put in place local restrictions so weve seen some towns like must say and nice put in restrictions on the amount of time people can stare at tonight so for example they will no longer be able to stay out. In the streets or bars after 10 oclock at night the city of nice in the south imposing a new restriction today allowing people only to gather in groups but not more of 10 people and the french president about all my craw has said that even though the virus is very much among us and we are seeing these cases climb he has surged french people to continue to try and live as normally as possible that was certainly a message he had last week when he visited the Tour De France the famous cycling race which took place in the middle of a pandemic doesnt seem to be just. That you look right across europe it seems to be a story of many cities regions like madrid trying hard to avoid going back
