Was back into action before revving up their engines drive has taken me to protests against racism. Thank you very much for joining us Irans Atomic Energy Organization has acknowledged that a fire at the Natanz Nuclear facility has caused significant damage it said the blaze could slow down development of centrifuges used to enrich uranium but that iran would replace a facility with more advanced equipment. What exactly happened at the Natanz Nuclear facility last week its a question people in iran and around the world have been asking since a fire was reported at irans main uranium enrichment facility on thursday a fire incident like this at the centerpiece of the countrys Nuclear Program is easily a cause for global concern but iranian leaders downplay the incident latest satellite imagery however seems to show the scale of the damage whatever the cause is bigger than initial reports seemed to suggest on sunday the spokesman of the Atomic Energy organization of iran confirmed the seriousness of the matter speaking to state news he said enrichment activities continue but the damage was significant enough to slow some work at the facility this incident may create delays in the Medium Term Plan for the development and production of advanced machines god willing we will compensate in such a way that the capacities at the site will be greater than before. The Natanz Nuclear plant has been the target of Cyber Attacks in the past at the time iran blamed various western nations and israel iranian investigators say they know what caused the latest incident but cannot release details due to security concerns but military leaders have promised to retaliate if sabotage is confirmed. The incident at natanz happened just days after another explosion at a military base where iran develops missiles on june 26th a gas tank explosion at the Parchin Military complex northeast of the capital caused a fireball so big some to her own residents could see it from their homes on june 30th a fire and explosion at a Medical Clinic in north to her own killed 19 people. On saturday a fire broke out at a power station in the western city of a causing partial outages on the same dail chlorine gas leak at a petrochemical plant on the gulf coast injured 70 people these were likely just industrial accidents perhaps triggered by rising summer temperatures but the fire at the Natanz Nuclear complex happened in the backdrop of serious incidents that have rattled the country in recent weeks. Trita parsi is executive Vice President of the washington think tank the quinsy institute it has been very restrained in its response over the. Previous efforts of sabotage have actually targeted that site as well in fact destruct virus was targeting centrifuges 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 lukey deal alive there is an accusation that is 100 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 more advanced centrifuges a way of signaling not only the outside world but also the violence 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 economic policies. Javid zarif was Briefing Parliament and defending the government he was interrupted several times 200. 00 m.

Well i think its extremely significant this border hasnt closed in the about 100 years but i think what were seeing here is a clear example of just how quickly this virus can return at any time it was on the a few weeks ago that is strongly would have been the envy of many nations it has been extremely successful in being able to suppress the virus that means that weve had restrictions on other borders have opened weve seen shops reopen people have been allowed to gather again but in no been in the state of victoria that has led to a huge spike in 19 cases and the situation has escalated extremely quickly we sane people hospitalized a dozens of people testing positive to coronavirus every diet now one elderly man died on sunday night and now were saying 9 housing Public Housing tower was locked down with 3000 people inside theyre not allowed to lave so if people arent allowed to into leave their properties right now and its caused a lot of tension in terms of the Border Closure that is very significant we have some communities that fold across both sauds but the government has said that these restrictions on needed to make sure that we get on with this now and we dont see these spiking cases continue and the government has only closed down 2 specific suburbs and pay specific apartment buildings into knock down what has been the public response to that. Well it depends where you are many people do believe that these actions are absolutely necessary we all know a hell easy these virus can spread and the best way to stop that from spreading is to stay away from each other but many people have questions the quality here these Public Housing towers have many people who dont speak english there have been questions about if many of the Health Messaging get out to them appropriately and some of the people within those towers have been saying we dont have some of these sensual services that we need they will be locked down for 5 days before another decision will be my that the government has been handing out hardship claimants to these people and food packages as well right now were just waiting to see what so what will happen and how long they will be low based housefull thank you very much for that update nick and a gauge life for a sailor in canberra colombia is also seeing an increase in corona virus infections and deaths intensive care units in the capital offending up and doctors are worried that many deaths are going underreported on the reports on bogota. Coffins carrying the bodies of covered 1000 victims arrive for cremation at this cemetery on the outskirts of bogota the recent increase in the number of deaths in the colombian capital has meant Cremation Services it tripled here in the last couple of weeks funeral workers say its a sad situation for the relatives who cant give their loved ones a proper goodbye. People are hopeless they see disagree led to entering the hospital 1520 days before and never see them again until they meet us in a closed coffee mug. Columbias reopening of important sectors of the economy in june following a strict quarantine seems to be responsible for a sharp rise in hospitalizations. Intensive care units are now 80 percent full in the National Government but new ventilators to increase availability but a lack of trained doctors means not all of them can be used at the same time and now authorities are worried by a sharp surge along colombias caribbean coast soldiers and police in full protective gear or on the streets of the port city of butler in kenya to enforce quarantine measures the atlantic a province has registered almost double the number of deaths compared with only one 3rd of the population. Authorities say here people have been more openly flouting social distancing rules holding parties in other gatherings and doctors fear some could be the 1000 related deaths are not being reported. Many patients dying at home or arriving at the hospital dead are not being included in the sticks but from feedback from families and clinics it is clear that the person died of corona virus and we are not reporting it. The sharp turning pales in comparison with some neighboring countries like brazil it is very worrisome especially since Health Authorities say were still weeks away from reaching the peak of infections and the government is excluding the return to stricter measures saying its time to revive the countrys battered economy leaving much of the responsibility in the hands of people wearing face masks and maintaining social distance a lesson that im just.

A huge good meal on the part of the on was or was to either it in groups but if you mean miss money to the transitional process he made everything about himself his mind its when he came into power was to Beauty National consensus and pull more out of consolation he didnt do any more that there was not discussion of political settlement for the country where that is one of the meter things that the country is in so that they versus the about why dont you get really its going to be and where you again needs to move there for the better versed people in that country to have a common how what is future theres no discussion of. National debt in those chords were not heritage to the Prime Minister basically wanted to recreate the country he saw in it and i think that is where the problem that is it is even though the government has given every step that the government has.

Party winning 66 seats in the 151 member of parliament will need support from several small groups but can avoid an alliance with a fall right audie tourist dependent economy is in the midst of a recession or send by coronavirus. As the us election approaches President Donald Trump is not just fending off a tux from members of the posing 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 political he has more. Theres more. 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 weak and secret. 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 destructed i really 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. Speaking walking hitting him on issues that hes made clear bother him like crowd size turnout in tulsa. His physical health weve seen that youre shaking. 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 in 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 you have to 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 win 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 pedicle hane al jazeera joe watkins is a republican political strategist and former white house have aides to george h. W. Bush he doesnt think many of tom supporters will be swayed by joe biden. I think to the degree that this election is about President Trump and dislike of the president it becomes hard for joe biden to win on that alone because hell have to show that he has policies that people that more americans like than dislike americans i think especially the president s base likes the idea of lower taxes and less regulation and like what hes done with regards to the trade agreements that like what hes done with you guys to Foreign Policy and i think that hell continue to hammer home that before the pandemic he had helped build a very Strong Economy and that hes best position to return the economy to strength and joe biden is going to have to disprove all that it cant be the fact that you dont like donald trump that cant be the reason d and the reason alone for people voting for joe biden and thats so thats the case that joe biden has to make is that you need me not only because you dont like president trouble because i have policies that you like better than the policies the President Trump champions and i think thats a tall order. The covert 900 crisis has disrupted global Food Supply Chains leading to shortages in some countries and while bank has warned that 130000000 people could be at risk of starvation but an increasingly popular urban farming system could provide a solution. For some stockholm sweden. Its harvest time but not as we know it these very modern farm hands are bringing in the crops from a vertical farm plants growing from the walls instead of the ground no tractors required just a pair of scissors and Artificial Intelligence senses that feed information on factors like speed of growth and nutrition content into a central database so thats on this farm the computer is in charge. The farm that youre seeing here everything is basically connected so all the part of me is that we have an influence on the growth of a plan were controlling that were building our basically food brain that controls everything by help of Artificial Intelligence and recreate the perth or. The mint basil kale and drink it to get everything they could ever desire like water humidity temperature tailored to their individual needs and without the Risky Business of growing out in Nature Anyone inside the farm has to wear a protective suit like this to stop bacteria coming in from outside it also means they dont need pesticides so you can eat the produce straight off the wall. They taste better than the average supermarket solids and theyre already being sold in local stores and restaurants in stockholm. And local means local the sweet green farm hidden under this building in an Old Newspaper archive is part of a program called a neighbor food it seems to give all urban swedes access to produce grown within yards of the door. The Global Movement in urban farming could play a vital role in preventing food crises. As covert 19 exposes weaknesses in the supply chain that have left people hungry everywhere from zimbabwe to the u. S. The Climate Crisis the epidemic ongoing right now has shown us how vulnerable we are in the cities we become very passive consumers we want to turn that around and where people start producing in the spaces that are otherwise empty those spaces below our buildings can be used for Food Production this farms socalled food brain is available on subscription so any start ups can have their own environment controlled from here it could make vertical farming a growth industry that puts more food within easy reach at a time when its most needed paul reese aljazeera stock.
