Revving up their engines drivers take a need to protest against racism. Irans Atomic Energy organization has revealed that a fire at the Natanz Nuclear facility has caused significant damage a Spokesman Says fight is braise could slow down tehrans development and production of advanced centrifuges which are used to enrich uranium but iran will replace the damaged building with a bigger one with more advanced equipment in the past week several sensitive sites have been hit by suspicious fires including a petrochemical plant and a Weapons Development phase assad big has more from tehran on the significance of the announcement. Significant in the sense that were beginning to have an understanding of the extent of the damage has caused like the Financial Impact now the head of the irans Atomic Energy organization. He made these comments when he was meeting the National Security and Foreign Policy commission and he said that the financial damage was considerable but he also said that the investigation and its findings would be released soon i previously we had heard that those findings were being held back because of Security Issues which further fuel suspicions and rumors inside and outside the country weve also had the spokesperson from irans Atomic Energy organization say that that this incident could slow down some of the production of advanced centrifuges but he went on to say that iran compensate for this by increasing capacity now thats a political statement thats a political statement for those that are looking at Irans Nuclear program and what it says to them that incidents such as this wont slow iran down in fact it will encourage iran to work harder and that nothing can slow down Irans Nuclear program and thats why he made that statement for people inside but also outside the country trita parsi is executive Vice President of the washington think tank the queen seen situations he thinks iran has been very restrained in its respond to over the latest incident. Previous efforts of sabotage have actually targeted that site as well in fact destruct virus was targeting centrifuge that were in that facility so in a sense what your commentary said earlier on is quite true it seems like the iranians may actually be coming out and explain the damage that has been done precisely to take the opportunity to on the one hand signal that theyre going to double down on the Nuclear Program as a result of this but also perhaps to signal the europeans that once again the iranians are showing a degree of restraint in case it turns out that this actually was a call an act of sabotage from the hostile power and i think theyre building up their cards to put pressure on the europeans that the europeans have to do far more than they have done so far when it comes to keeping the nuclear deal why there is an accusation that is 100. 00 government has been far too weak when it comes to protecting the Nuclear Program standing up to it and pushing back against the pressure that the trumpet instruction is opposing on them so signaling that theyre going to replace it with a bigger with more advanced centrifuges is a way of signaling not only the outside world but also irans would read the governments internal critics. And irans foreign minister has been heckled by members of parliament and called a liar during a speech outlining the president s foreign any comic policies and was was. Javid zarif was Briefing Parliament and defending the government he was interrupted several times 200 m.

Corona virus infections and deaths continue to surge across latin america after reporting record numbers of new cases for several days mexico now has the 5th highest death toll in the world the virus has killed more than 30000 people there the government has been easing restrictions with more on the situation across the region were joined by alice on the run katie who is in colombias capital bogota and is on the road mexico now has the 2nd highest death toll in latin america after brazil and some have criticized the government for being too slow to impose restrictions and too quick to lift them. Absolutely flawlessly and the truth is that mexicans are increasingly confused about whats happening in their country and the governments response thats because weeks ago both the president Lopez Obrador and the secretary of health have said that the country was very close to reaching the peak or had already reached the peak and that they could expect a reduction in the number of cases and the following weeks instead the opposite as happen mexico as the 5th highest death toll anywhere in the world surpassing france and this week will most likely also overtake the number of dates that in italy so its a very complicated situation and this while the government as also confirmed that the real number of cases and that is probably much higher because they havent been able to do enough tests and thats why weve also seen even if the president didnt see it in the need to continue to reopen even further the economy there there has been a reversal of some reopening that were scheduled this week in the in particularly in mexico city in downtown mexico city some stores reopened there on friday there were huge crowds the stores were in really controlling the number of people going inside and that all of these stores had the gene measures in place and so the mayor there decided to go back she said its just going to be a pause about obviously theyre very worried by this ticking cases and not only in the capital but also in many states especially the states that border 2 in the northern states the border states in the unit United States of america what about the situation in colombia way you honest on the dole. Yes also seen an important increase in number of cases in the last couple of weeks as this country has reopened the important sectors of the economy as also allowed the Informal Sector which makes up almost half of the working population to go back to the streets this was seen as a necessary because after months of lockdown it was very difficult for them to be there the result though is that increase in hospitality stations the situation is very complicated and i see you you need to here in the capital more than 80 percent of them are now fool and theres also has been a big increase in number of deaths in cases along the caribbean coast the atlantic or region has just a 3rd of the population but its seen double the amount of deaths and his sons are saying very much for that update on a sunday forest area in bogota. Noun june 25th Iraqi Government carried out a raid on. A group linked to iran accused of attacking u. S. Forces it was a test for a new Prime Minister. Who has promised to crack down on costar operate outside the law for days later those detained had walked free aljazeera simona 14 gained exclusive access to the hezbollah base that was raided. Were about to get a rare glimpse into the most secretive armed group under Iraqs Popular Mobilization forces brigade 45 better known as. This is the 1st time journalists have been allowed into one of its military bases. Is nominally incorporated into iraqs Security Apparatus but has been accused of acting outside the formal chain of command aljazeera gained exclusive access to dislocation in southern baghdad after it was raided by iraqs Counterterrorism Forces the Iraqi Government says it had been tipped off that a rocket was about to be launched from dismissal of it towards the green zone where u. S. And other Diplomatic Missions are based 14 people were arrested and several weapons seized but the group says the raid was illegal carried out without an arrest warrant. They have evidence for the celebration they can show it to the people but here there are no missiles and launching pads the spices bring you since 2015 we have a formal letter from Baghdad Operations command this base is used for Logistical Support this was once a farm that belonged to saddam husseins government after 2003 it was taken over by al qaida and bombed during the sectarian conflict during our visit we didnt see flags or signs marking it as an official facility belonging to the Popular Mobilization forces and none of the soldiers were insignia or. The pm if is being targeted so we didnt keep the flags because the Surveillance Drones are always flying around here. Our visit was tightly controlled free fighters were allowed to speak on camera under the condition they hide their faces and withhold their names they admitted their not just part of the Popular Mobilization forces but also the socalled Islamic Resistance which fought u. S. Troops in the wake of the 2003 invasion they still regard americas presence in iraq today as an occupation and aggressive up in the new year we are both at the same time the resistance and the Popular Mobilization forces the resistance was formed before the Popular Mobilization forces it for the occupiers after 2003 and expelled them in 2011 to this day the resistance groups are standing against occupation. The u. S. Has previously bombed positions in iraq and has pressured the Iraqi Government to take action the raid on this base was an unprecedented move by the Iraqi Government against groups that the u. S. Has accused of targeting its forces Prime Minister. Has promised to restrict weapons in the hands of the state but the backlash against this operation shows just how difficult it is to deliver on those promises. The night of the raid a convoy of pickup trucks with heavily armed men breached a fortified green zone to demand the release of the 14 people detained hours earlier but the government yielded handing them over to the Popular Mobilisation forces which acquitted them days later the type hezbollah released images showing its fighters as they stepped on the Prime Ministers picture and burned the american and israeli flags their interviews were broadcast on. Own channel it was all to deliver a stern message to iraqs Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has totally failed and he has to understand if the reliance on the americans rather than the iraqi people he will fail and if he continues this way he will show his cards as an agent of the americans and that he serves the americans more than his homeland a Government Spokesperson says one of the 14 detainees remains in custody but has not provided details the governments substitute response has left many questions on answered and has raised doubts on whether the Prime Minister is able to confront powerful groups like.

A recap of our top stories on aljazeera irans Atomic Energy organization has a knowledge that last weeks fire at a major Nuclear Facility caused significant damage that has slowed down the countrys production of advanced centrifuges which are used to enrich uranium to libyas u. N. Recognized government tests condemned air raids on the recaptured air base in the west of the country it says a foreign and force carried out the attack the loss of the base was among a string of recent defeats warlords 25 times and mexicos coronavirus death toll has found 30000 the 5th highest in the world has been reporting record numbers of new cases for several days now and some restrictions are being green polis in the capital mexico city. And other world news votes have been counted need to minicon republics president ial election sundays vote was delayed because of the corner virus pandemic 6 candidates are vying for the top job including businessman and front runner luis abbey not their opinion polls suggest he could oust the governing center mass party which has been in power for 16 years as speak to money are up on those been following this election from mexico city forest so the polls have closed any early indications of who is going to win money. The polls have closed the votes are being counted rashly waiting at this point for the Electoral Authority to announce the 1st 20 percent of counted votes but in the lead up to the to the election on sunday it was a clear front runner as you mentioned foley thats luis now that he is a 2nd time political president ial candidate hes a well known businessman in the Tourism Industry and Dominican Republic a u. S. Educated economist and also the nominee for the modern revolutionary party or p. R. M. In Dominican Republic his main opposition he is the main opposition hes running against. He is a former minister of public works and also the incumbent the nominee for the incumbent party Dominican Liberation Party there isnt a lot of of ideological differences between these 2 parties theyre considered centrist within the context of president ial politics in Dominican Republic but when by then it would take power away from the Dominican Liberation Partys stranglehold almost 20 years of the last 24 years have been under the control of this party so there are signs of a massive almost tectonic shift in politics in the country and there are a number of reasons why these elections are are noteworthy the 1st the obvious one its taking place under a backdrop of the corona virus pandemic the countries the worst hit in the caribbean by bike over at 19 but the countrys president maybe not the incumbent president he served 2 consecutive for. 2 consecutive 4 year terms making him ineligible to run again in this is also the 1st time or the 2nd time since 1904 that the country is not only voting for president of Vice President 190. 00 members of congress 32. 00 senators and also representatives to the Central American parliament so it is being seen as a sort of all encompassing election folly briefly manny how has the Coronavirus Crisis affected the vote. Under normal circumstances traditionally we would look at the Campaign Season in the Dominican Republic as a very high energy very outdoorsy Public Events where people are able to directly engage with campaigns and with president ial candidates and due to the coronavirus lockdown despite an easing of restrictions given the lockdown there has been a noticeable reduction in Public Participation and Public Engagement with the current elections but nonetheless people did bring of the ongoing outbreak again the worst affected country in the caribbean so that they could participate in sundays elections thank you very much for that money on top of the line for sarah in mexico city. As the u. S. Election approaches friends and donald trump is not just fending off attacks from members of the opposing party but also his own prominent republicans are saying they will vote for the Presumptive Democratic candidate joe biden and theyre actively working to help him get elected i call hayne has more. Theres morning in america this viral ad to put a new group called the Lincoln Project on the political map not because it has been viewed almost 3000000 times under the leadership of donald trump our countrys weaker and sicker. This was an attack from members of the president s own party and he responded by attacking them well after midnight on twitter their reaction. Republican operative rick wilson is one of the founders of the group he says the ad did exactly what they wanted every day donald trump is distracted every day dont i was running around like a crazy person doing the things that he does with a tweet gets in his head read it says this campaign is not focusing on beating joe biden every day hes thinking about us is something about him with surprising speed the group turns around ads meant to get inside the president s head somethings wrong with donald trump the shaky weak speaking walking hitting him on issues that hes made clear bother him like crowd size turnout in tulsa. His physical health we seen it youre shaking. Cant keep the polls up and its getting worse and his handling of the coronavirus i dont think he was. But the group is also airing ads praising former Vice President joe biden and Democratic Senate candidates will also attacking republican senators up for reelection richmond has a nice ring thats drawing criticism from other republicans but theyre doing it not only opposed to election but to flip the senate to democratic majority control. To say that shasta you know give the democrats control of the senate because you oppose trump that makes no sense thank you very much but wilson says its a kind of insurance policy you know we dont want to have a situation where donald trump if he does want a 2nd term has an easy route to continue to do things in this nationalist populous way that we think is a danger to the country and more republicans are joining his cause hundreds of alumni from the George Bush Administration have formed a group to try to help biden get elected. The Trump Campaign says its further proof the establishment is working against them this is highly unusual members of a Political Party turning against its old leader openly and in public. Imagine how big the crowds will be when hes gone actively raising and spending money to see him defeated and their own Political Party completely out of power patty calling al jazeera.
