Reported dead. And one american diplomat feels threatened by Donald Trump New details emerge in the impeachment inquiry. 40 years to the days since a rainy and pretenses took Us Embassy Staff hostage both countries have taken steps likely to worsen their already strained relationship the u. S. Treasury secretary announced new sanctions against irans Armed Forces General staff its most senior military body and 9 people connected to the Supreme Leader ali herman a earlier on monday around sick another step away from the 2050 new clear deal so iran says its now operating twice as many advanced centrifuges asmer a lights on the agreements and lowering it. Enrich uranium faster this will make it quicker for iran to build a Nuclear Weapon or both an audience moments appeared signed to fall on the 40th anniversary of that seizure with the us embassy in tehran 52. 00 american citizens were detained for more than 400 days dosage of our reports from to her on the head of Irans Atomic Energy Organization at one of the countrys most important Nuclear Facilities this is where Ali Akbar Salehi announced that iran has now added another 30 advanced centrifuges. Zines you do see we werent supposed to have 30 chinese centrifuges we wanted to work on it after we tested 20 chinese centrifuges then 3 to 4 years later to work on the 30 chain centrifuges but we faced political challenges and senior authorities decided to show irans potential power and determination this is another step taken by iran to scale back its commitments to the 2015 nuclear deal authorities here say since the United States withdrew last year and imposed if syriza further sanctions on iran the remaining european signatories have yet to uphold their end of the cream and and until they do iran will continue to advance its nuclear program. That is something to European Union is continuing to warn against we have continued torch run to reverse such steps without delay and to refrain from any further measures that would undermine the nuclear deal you know that we as the European Union remain committed to the implementation of the chase appeal way because its a matter of respecting International Agreement its a matter of our security but we have also been consistent in saying that commitment that our commitment to the Nuclear Defense and the full compliance by this announcement was made on the 40th anniversary of the takeover of the former u. S. Embassy in tehran where thousands gathered to mark the occasion they were demanding the return of the former Shah Mohammad reza pat levy to iran to stand trial the shah had been allowed into the u. S. To receive medical treatment for cancer those antiamerican sentiments are still strong and for many here the United States withdrawal from the nuclear deal is yet another example president Hassan Rouhani will be officially announcing around for the app and reducing its commitments to daisy know it very soon but after mondays announcement by you tomic interview organization there will likely be more concern and criticism about Irans Nuclear ambitions in the days ahead north of the bari aljazeera tacked on. Irans Foreign Ministry says the latest u. S. Sanctions show americas diplomatic shortcomings and bullying approach to International Affairs my counter has more on why the sanctions were imposed Senior Administration officials briefed journalists to make clear that the latest round of sanctions timed to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the arabian hostage siege well certainly these are significant the sanctions aimed at the very most senior levels of iranian leadership the 9 figures who individually singled out all men. Of the inner sanctums say a National Security officials among them is the head of the iranian judiciary the iranian chief of staff and very importantly the 2nd son of the Ayatollah Khomeini he was the only one of the i told his children to actually works within the office and certainly represents his father at times in public so this is a significant selection of sanctions but important to most to that Administration Officials making very clear that these sanctions are part of an ongoing process this particular round designed to coincide with the anniversary of the iranian hostage siege they are not necessarily a direct reaction to the latest Iranian Nuclear moves lets get more on this from rod shes a senior fellow at the National Iranian American Council and joins us now by skype from irvine California Kids have you with us here in aljazeera just talk us through the significance of the timing of these both from the american and the iranian side. The timing obviously from the americans like ones living with the 40th anniversary of. The hostage crisis is important because if you look at history of the United States and iran policy 979 is a watershed moment and its a turning point in how the u. S. Views iran how americans view iran and has affected us policy views of iran ever since that 40 years of sort of enmity that we see between the 2 sides starts with the hostage taking in yemen 170 now and from the arena inside why why have they in the specific day to roll back their commitments to the nuclear deal. Well the iranian government certainly uses the hostage crisis symbolically as well from the iranian Historical Perspective what we have to understand about november of 1990 is that what the fear was amongst the iranians was that there would be a 2nd crew that would take out that reinstates the shop because he had been allowed to he because he had been admitted into the United States 2 weeks earlier that goes back to the one 953. 00 coup which was led by the cia and overthrew Prime Minister mossad and reinstated the shop so there was a very real fear that there would be a repeat of that 26 years later in 1070 not another thing to mark historically is that while the revolution happened in february of 979 United States hadnt broken diplomatic relations so this isnt happen until november of mountains that. One could think that there was the potential of actually having diplomatic relations but of course with the seizure of the embassy all the black times. That both sides. You could argue have a legitimate grievance that the other do you think a lack of understanding of the others position is helping contribute to this ongoing crisis many decades later. Absolutely i think theres a lack of understanding on both sides i think that theres legitimate grievances are grievances on both sides and where the u. S. Is absolutely rightful to take issue with irans transgression and taking an embassy of all things to take hostages is problematic in another to do it on diplomatic soil is extremely problematic as it is you know overthrowing the government of a sovereign state to recruit so both sides have legitimate grievances the hope that i think especially on your army inside but i think that most americans at least was that the j. C. P. R. Way the Iran Nuclear Deal was an opportunity to sort of relinquish the baggage of the past and move forward looking to the future rabbit and that was a model for cooperation and a model for negotiations between adversaries that wasnt something that said you know now there is an alliance between the 2 sides but that they could cooperate. Have to leave it there very good to get your thoughts thanks very much for speaking to us here on aljazeera. Now thousands of protesters are back on the streets of the chilean capsule santiago as antigovernment demonstrations enter the 3rd week police have used water cannon and tear gas to try and disperse the crowds more protests tears have been throwing rocks they want president Sebastian Pinera to resign despite the governments offering a series of Economic Reforms for latin america and so this in human joins us now live from santiago for those protests showing no signs of losing steam if anything theyre getting more dramatic. Yes they are absolutely day by day this is day 17. According to the media at least 20. Years came out. Not completely dry when it started im extremely peacefully and. 6 write a short while ago looting began about 150 meters from where we are now there were some vandals and also people with masks that began to roll volatile cocktails at police they have been responding with massive amounts of tear gas to drive the entire demonstration no way which is that wasnt a thousands of people leaving many people covering their faces because of the clear gas which we all agree is much stronger than they usually have than it has been up until now but that many have come back as you could see theres theyre refusing to give up they say that its now or never that theres no turning back that there are big. As you could see. And the see a bit of the government have offered concessions but what will it take to end these protests. That is the 50 question people want Different Things some want to believe that. Somebody here is showing us how he was caught by helen i got pennies. But going back to your question people i want you to launch a new constitution on this one referendum i think imagining that the president right away the cabinet and opposition for the book was the exception of the hour never mind the communist congo which i refusing to even dialogue like that got him into writing the always present think the right was a good match the other systemic function youre forcing out of course well take a moment on ok this year human live in a very noisy santiago thanks very much indeed for bringing us up to date. Now must protests continue across iraq at least 5 people have been killed by Security Forces in the capital baghdad 5 runs for fart at demonstrations gathering near the state Television Headquarters and other protesters killed during the rally in the southern town of shutter and more than 250 people have been killed since process began 1st to sasha can name isnt backed out this has been a tense evening in the capital fires in the roads barricades and additional Security Forces than weve typically seen in previous evenings the violence began late this afternoon protesters attempted to cross a bridge near Tahrir Square thats been the epicenter of the protests they were trying to cross this bridge to get into the fortified green zone they tended to topple barricades and thats when witnesses say Security Forces responded with live ammunition witnesses are saying that there are people who have been killed the Prime Minister spokesman is saying that is not true medical sources say dozens of people are injured and most of the injuries. S. Are from god and shot wounds to the face and head and that wounded includes Security Forces from there there were reports that there were protesters who gathered around one of the Prime Ministers office is near the green zone and they had to be dispersed with tear gas and Water Cannons and also a spokesman with the Prime Ministers office says the protesters attempted to reach the ministry of justice they lit a fire near of building nearby a Spokesman Says that protesters were beaten back with sticks so what youre seeing is a new evolution in these protests where theyre no longer just confined to Tahrir Square but protestors are going to major intersection at intersections to prevent people from getting to work and going about their business and now we see theyre attempting to get to government offices already the last 2 days various government offices and businesses have been closed as well as schools in baghdad and several southern provinces teachers and attorneys are on strike the Prime Ministers office is threatening the treat the Teachers Union and Attorney Says that these teachers are not breaking the law they have the right to protest. Plenty more still to come on the news hour including indias capital tries to take steps to reduce record levels of pollution but will it be enough. To several the asia pacific countries agree to form a giant trade pact spots well find out why india is reluctant to join them and sportsweek are back where it all began for sect african rugby is world cup winning captain. And the former u. S. Ambassador to ukraine Marie Janowicz ya know you have all of it chance to hold an impeachment inquiry she felt threatened by donald trump a transcript of her testimony to the inquiry has been released along with that of Michael Mccann the former advisor to the section of states mike can pay you your vote of it said ukrainian officials warns her that trumps allies were looking at south hearts her reputation on monday for officials colts testify before the inquiry never showed up you will see in ambassador of on a vicious testimony what a dedicated Public Servant she is this is someone who serve the country with distinction for decades it is someone who also is one of the 1st witnesses to this irregular back channel that the president s established with Rudy Giuliani and the damage that it was doing to americas National Security and Foreign Policy interests how it was working at. In opposition not in support of u. S. Policy objectives. Well President Trump is about to hold a rally in the city of lexington kentucky White House Correspondent kimberly who is there kimberly 1st of all to the impeachment inquiry what will we learn from those transcripts. Well certainly this is public and that is significant given the fact that up until now one of the main talking points of republicans has been that this is been done in secrecy that this is not a fair process for the u. S. President now this is out and transparent in the public and i can tell you for President Trump this has been troubling because its something he has been concerned about and so in advance he began discrediting not just the process but also the whistleblower who listened in on that july 25th phone call between the u. S. President and the ukrainian president the u. S. President has said that there was nothing wrong with the call he maintains that he is innocent of any of these sort of allegations that he has committed their wrongdoing but at the same time there is certainly a sort of a tangible feeling here in lexington kentucky among his supporters that they are fearful that this could hurt the president s reelection chances theyre also fearful that the president may not be treated fairly in the process so we expect as the president takes the stage in the coming hours that hes going to have an awful lot to say about it as he has been speaking rather vocally not just on twitter but as he left the white house saying that in fact he believes that the ambassador the u. S. Ambassador to ukraine was someone who was bad news in his words from the beginning we expect that hell double down on some of those accusations as he continues to try and defend himself. These are serious accusations and that this impeachment inquiry is posers sumburgh an existential challenge to use presidency so why on earth is President Trump in kentucky. Yeah because the u. S. President elect. Still i youre away so youre wondering perhaps why is he campaigning right now in lexington while kentucky is a handful of states that have these off year elections and the reason the President Trump is here is not only to help a governor a republican governor whos struggling and may not do so well come when voting day opens in the polls open in less than 24 hours but theres another reason and that is that this is the 1st time since the pietschmann inquiry has been made public that the u. S. President has been able to go out and kind of test that base of support as more and more of this testimony becomes public the president has insisted that this is not going to hurt or boris reelection chances but certainly privately behind closed doors republicans are wondering nervous so this is the 1st test to kind of see where that support lies so we expect the president s going to talk about this a lot as he rallies his supporters but just sort of testing is a bra matter how solid that base of support is really is going to be measured when some of the voters go to the polls on tuesday here in the u. S. State of kentucky can we talk about life in the elections in kentucky thanks very much indeed. Well the us has begun the formal process of withdrawing from the paris climate accords President Trump announced his intention back in 27 saying but monday was the earliest that he could legally make the move the global pact to find Climate Change was written in 2015 and signed by almost 200. 00 countries the United States is the only nation so far to leave each country provided its own goals to curb emissions of heat trapping gases that leads to Climate Change the global goal is to keep the temperature rise to below 2 degrees celsius this century well the Obama Administration promised to reduce u. S. Greenhouse gas emissions by up to 28 percent. By 2030 from 2005 levels trump says it unfairly hurts the u. S. Economy the actual withdrawal will take a year and come into effect the day after the 2020 election lets speak to she had returned say in washington d. C. As she had more work he tell us about this change in policy. Well its no surprise however it still remains a catastrophic day in the the narrative all for a Global Climate catastrophe as you say though this isnt the us actually withdrawing just yet theres a year to go and if the democrats win the 20 twentieths action they can rejoin the paras climate agreement within within 30 days or so so the democrats can reverse this next November November of 20 of 2022nd is that there are a few other ways perhaps to look at this but it wasnt as if to be honest that the u. S. Was meeting the very modest the modest goals that the Obama Administration had made voluntary goals the Obama Administration had made at paris obama to actually agree with donald trump the fossil fuels are very important for the u. S. Economy obama would often boast that he made the u. S. The top oil exporter in the world he also believed in some of these argument of trump is using that the oil is the is the treasure underneath the ground of the u. S. And cant be cant be forsaken that is one thing in fact for the u. S. To Greenhouse Gas emissions rose last year but meanwhile federal officials all doing much and indeed are rolling back a lot of environmental policy at the local level we have states and cities which are doing a great deal now for trying to get some sort of reductions in global Greenhouse Gas emissions that even they admit without federal emissions emissions action its not going to be enough but what really is happening is Public Opinion this is why there is some cause for hope all the opinion polls now show that the majority of americans perhaps not those at the rally the kimberley is that but a majority of americans do believe in manmade Climate Change and they expect some sort of action to be taken and republican politicians are recognizing that they dont recognize i dont know if they recognize the science or not or if they just recognize the contributions theyre getting from the fossil fuel industry but they recognize the political damage if they dont do something just a few weeks ago. The House Republican minority leader was warning the republicans they could lose the largest electoral demographic late 20 year olds forever if they dont Start Talking about Climate Change even republican the same key swing state like florida 44 percent of republicans believe in manmade Climate Change now this is a state that has been buffeted by weather related events were climate related weather related events so theres political changes that happening even as donald trump acts on a pledge that he made in 2017 so its all its all quite interesting and dynamic and perhaps theres not yet cause for a complete loss of hope ok she had written a life for us in washington d. C. Thanks very much. There indias top courts has accused the State Governments of failing to take concrete action on talks of air pollution in the Northern Areas of the country the capital usually is now restricting cars under versing flights but the Supreme Court say those measures are gimmicks they are burning small so that a Public Health emergency has been declared on reports from new delhi. This brown haze has enveloped new delhi anything above 400 on the citys air quality index is considered very severe it rules about powers and hazardous for billions of people it is bad every winter but this is the 1st time the government has declared a Public Health emergency. Just to shut 3 says he doesnt like wearing a mask while driving his scooter that its necessary. The reason im wearing a mask has increased pollution i dont have any illness but i cough. In the last 4 or 5 days my nose is watering my eyes are burning. Children and the elderly are especially at risk says she suffers a heart condition and the pollution has forced her to go to hospital. I have a cold a cough and my chest hurts since Pollution Increased everything hurts now. Doctors say because of the toxic small they have treated 5 times the usual number of patients over the past few days some People Living in Indias National capital say its become a gas chamber the State Government is alternating the days pass can be driven on the roads between those whose registrations and. Even but farmers leave behind me is the iconic roster but the opera house its a Tall Building but today one can barely see it the government has taken the step to have the number of possible recalls on the street that should reduce air pollution a little but as long as farmers keep burning stubble in neighboring states the evolution is expected to continue to be very severe in new delhi. The spammers in the adjoining states of punjab and haryana have harvested their rice and now need to clear their land for their winter wheat crop burning is the quickest way environmentalists say that needs to change but i think at the end of the day farmers need to sort of put pressure on the government to ultimately provide markets that are needed to shift away to other crops but pharmacy if they are to change their practices and invest in clean up technology and machinery they need support from the government thats on top of it tackling other sources of pollution meaning those hoping for cleaner air are unlikely to have immediate relief. Aljazeera new delhi. Well as i mentioned earlier their calls is not just hazardous in needs only but in large parts of northern india so much so that air purifiers have been placed around the taj mahal in ankara when 200 kilometers south of new delhi its hope clear the air around the 17th century marble mausoleum has tens of thousands of visitors every day.

And thousands of protesters are back on the streets of the chilean capital santiago sansa government demonstrations enter a 3rd week they want president Sebastian Pinera to resign despite the governments offering a series of Economic Reforms. Stay with that man or a poll reports from the capital santiago on the economic inequality this latest see the current crisis. For decades chile has been seen as a sort of always a surprise spirit in latin america. In 1900 the country assured in a new democracy and in 17 years of brutal awkward tarion rule. The years that followed were marked by fast pace Economic Growth and a massive reduction in poverty were annoyed. When the military dictatorship in chile ended no less than 45 percent of the population lived in poverty from the bottom a democracy was recovered Economic Growth was very high but they came about material to stay. When that growth stocks. Despite the boom of a stable middle class in the 21st century has also witnessed a growing discontent over economic inequality and. On october 18th the announcement of an increase in public transport fares sparked massive social upheaval since then the unrest on the streets of the chilean capital and elsewhere in the country has been unrelenting behind the facade of unshakable modern development theres a sense that she has broken the concerns are over stagnant wages low pensions unequal access to health care and education and a widespread perception that the standard of living is getting worse. Many chileans believe the ongoing crisis is rooted in the countrys economic model founded on neoliberal principles that are seen as a remnant of the days of the hardline pinochet era. Peoples incomes do not match the cost of living in prices here like they are in europe but wages of the same as the rest of latin america in terms of Long Term Solutions we need to think about how to restructure the Political Institutions that we inherited from the pinochet dictatorship. While many argue neo liberalism is to blame for the state of inequality and others say its been negligence by the side of the countrys Political Class thats exacerbated the problem and. Liberalism is a pejorative term for a free market economy i dont think people who participate in these massive much is a protesting against a free market theyre protesting against a lack of opportunities. Theres no shortage of opinions over what the solution to chiles political crisis should be but the problem is clear the prosperity achieved over the last 30 years has been fooled by the wealthiest in society and the people have had enough and ended up. Processors in lebanons campus or beirut sans other parts of the country have blocked roads as they continue to demands for the ruling elites to go the wave of demonstrations began last month plunging the country into political turmoil thats despite the Prime Ministers announcement to quit well theres been no sign off progress yet towards an agreement on a new Government Center how to reports from beiruts. Protesters in lebanon are escalating their struggle against those in power again closing roads to pressure the governing coalition to form a government independent of Political Parties this is the main highway linking the capital beirut to South Lebanon we are blocking the road but tell the people who are sitting at home that hey listen we are doing this because you are not raising your voice because you are being silent Something Like these young men continue to support the mainly sectarian Political Parties they are diverting traffic caused by road closures there is tension in the streets day 19 of this protest movement and people here say theyre still the tournaments to take control of their future but they are facing a Political Class just as determined to stay in power public pressure has forced Prime Minister saddle had needed to resign but the president michel aoun has still not set a date for by lead parliamentary consultations to choose a new Prime Minister theres a lot of back room obviously a back door horsetrading trying to identify whos going to be the Prime Minister but also what kind of cabinet. They think is needed or that they find acceptable lebanon is not on the brink of economic collapse weve started sliding into you know not an economic and but serious economic challenges and the protests are making the economy suffer even more frustration is growing especially among those who need to get to work every day and want their children to return to schools. But others say they are ready to make a sacrifice. As a shop owner i cant open and be against the people in the movement of course this harms business but im enduring because i want to stand with the people and their rights. Its a fight for a Better Future but some of it hes angry over the high cost of living also benefit from the status quo they are not backing the socalled revolution calling for a complete change of the sectarian based political system so are other lebanese who seem unwilling to take a step into the unknown xenophobe their beirut.

Reports from islamabad. 100 ismail has come to slum of blood from the Southern City of karachi with his friends he says his leader has asked people to protest against the government. Theyre part of the islam led by cleric mana for the ramadan and they see a manhunt government is illegitimate and accuse it of destroying the economy and taking away jobs here i mean. Im a realtor and for the last 13 months no one has brought any property inflation has reached its highest level people are unable to earn and provide education to the children weve lived our homes families and businesses we will live here until we get cans rizieq national. People from all over pakistan have arrived in islamabad in recent months creators teachers and others have also protested. 9 other Political Parties have also joined the demonstrations but they dont support calls for a possible sit in which they say could turn violent the government is adamant that the real reason for the rallies is to divert attention from its fight against corruption and the reason for that is very simple it is because they are guilty they are guilty of corruption and that is what what theyre trying to do is create pressure on the bombers somehow make the government move back from the. Well they were in previous sit ins people were filmed being paid by pakistani officials these protesters deny they are being funded by their party or anyone else. Each one gave 3. 00 and we have collected 50. 00 our party doesnt give us any money we do it because we are here for a good cause and are ready for any action with our leader tells us 7. Such as this one began in islamabad and printed 14 that the government alleged that they were being backed by the bugs bunny billable establishment the readership of this reporter says they are unique because they are against a military backed government and when the army to play a role.

And the protesters demands to hold elections without the army supervision but the government has rejected them all and it calls for the Prime Minister to resign for now pakistans capital is once again calm but tense and the government is making arrangements to prevent protesters from entering the city some gathered under there is not about. Well lets head back to our story about the u. S. Formally withdrawing from the Global Climate pacts and we can speak with Kevin Trenberth hes a Senior Scientist in the climate Analysis Section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research and joins us now by skype from new zealand kids have you with us here on aljazeera and just 1st of all as a scientist what do you think the plan b. Should be if the u. S. Does pull its all of the paris climate agreements. Well its disappointing and the problem is of course that theres no International Governance theres a. Relatively weak body called the United Nations and it requires individual countries to play a leadership role and to set up various kinds of treaties and the u. S. Is not playing a leadership role on that you know if all of the other countries could get together and set up a tariff system against the u. S. Maybe they should maybe thats what should happen and that but assuming they dont see if the u. S. Does does put lights and what is the in sense of for the other countries to say to commit to this agreement do you think this kids and up and unraveling the whole agreements and then what steps should be taken in that scenario i think youre exactly right and the statement ive seen from the United States from my pump ayos says that theres a cost to the workers in the United States but what he what they have not considered is the very high cost of no action you know there are countless benefits. To taking actions against Climate Change in the trouble is that many of them are countless they relate to the quality of life and greatest security and if you are refugees in many of these things do not have a dollar value on them and you know even last you know the last 10 years its estimated that the actual cost in the United States is 35000000000. 00 a year this is from the g. A. O. And the department of energy and so the failure to recognize these high costs that are already occurring is to me just not. Doesnt make any sense at all it in terms of the science of it where are we when it comes to global warning on the the threshold that we need to to say adds i mean are we getting close to a Tipping Point Climate Change is already with us weve been seeing it in more severe tropical storms flooding and rainfall events around the world and heat waves wildfires california australia. Brazil you know. And so what we need to do is to decarbonise the economies of the world as soon as we possibly can even then were going to have to live with some Climate Change the Climate Change is already having a fax on the weather extremes and thats causing a large cost as a result.

How do you think politicians should try and square this circle because its very easy to say we shouldnt be taking fights anymore but is there a willingness among populations worldwide to actually take the harsh. Action needed to its a combat Climate Change. Yes so the the role of politicians i think is to set a framework for this to happen and then then the public and the private sector will take over and i mean the best way to do that is to put a put a price on carbon and. And the way in which that is implemented is is the key thing i mean youre absolutely correct that the developing countries need to continue to develop and they need electricity to do that but it doesnt have to be generated by fossil fuel use because all of these downstream effects of fossil fuel use are not.
