The threat of a renewed crackdown and better roads to rally against the rule of the president. Also current leaders in mali pledge political transition and new elections but the u. N. Security councils urging soldiers to return to barracks. And backing biden his running mate come to harris and former boss president barack obama head up the 3rd night of the Democratic National convention. So u. S. President donald trump is to demand all United Nations sanctions be reimposed against iran it follows americas defeat over plans to extend an arms embargo trump says his secretary on pay will travel to the u. N. In the coming days to start the process of restoring sanctions a proposal which will face Strong Political and legal challenges. Iran will never have market down market in iran will never have a Nuclear Weapon when the United States entered into the iran deal it was clear that the United States would always have the right to restore the un sanctions that will prevent iran from developing a Nuclear Weapon we paid a fortune for a failed concept and a failed policy a policy that would have made it impossible to have peace in the middle east his mike hanna in washington d. C. Following the story for us mike when we talk about war donald trump talks about this process of restoring sanctions. How i think is the basic question. Rose a very difficult question to answer because in terms of resolution 2231 which is the one which actually sets out the or a new nuclear deal that makes very clear that snapback in sanctions can only be called by a country or a member who is a participant in that deal now remember president trying to pull the us out of the deal back in 2018 so the very strong argument in the legal supposition would be that as no longer a party to that deal by its own definition the us has got no rights to demand anything let alone some kind of snapback effect like this and one must remember as well that the deal makes very clear that they are certain parameters that iran must stay within to avoid such a snapback the other members the other parties to that deal make very clear that they believe that iran has largely complied with the requirements in terms of their 2015 deal so very difficult to see what president trans basis for this is nevertheless he said to give secretary of state to the u. N. Tomorrow to meet with the secretary general youll also be lobbying among other members of the Security Council to try and get some kind of support for the deal but you remember that iran meeting last friday when the u. S. Attempted to extend the arms embargo which expires in october and it was absolutely humiliating only the Dominican Republic voted with the United States the other normal allies such as france britain germany abstained russia and china didnt even need to use the veto that they threatened timeframe must be important here mike because i suspect other countries in the u. N. In the Security Council will have one eye on november as well and thinking well if we can wait till then then they could be a change in leadership in the u. S. A member think a change anyway. Well very much so and that is likely to be the reaction of many of the u. N. Members and many of the members of the e. U. Who were the main instigators behind this deal in fact it was the crowning achievement for the European Union so theyre all looking to some kind of timeline to maybe delay a vote to not have to confront this issue and the massive disruption that will occur with such confrontation until after the election which many would be hoping the administration changes that the whole thing goes away because joe biden has committed to rejoining the Iranian Nuclear deal so that is what theyre hoping but the secretary of state might pompei or says that hes going to initiate the 30 day notice period immediately now that means that he wants to get all of the sorted out before before the elections well aware that in a ministration might change. Your store going to have this bruising battle as far as the United States is concerned whether its got any basis to succeed in that thats beside the point but there is something of a scorched earth a thick to this in terms of relationships within the United Nations and within the e. U. And with all those who are signatories to the treaty having to come into either naked confrontation with the United States which may have its own economic consequences or simply allow the United States to bulldoze or over them so its going to be a very bruising few weeks thank you mike hanna in washington. On to other news an opposition supporters in batteries are vowing to defy warnings by president Alexander Lukashenko of a tough new crackdown on dissent hes ordered Security Forces to clear the streets after nearly 2 weeks of mass rallies over disputed Election Results because warning workers have gone on strike as well they risk losing their jobs permanently the European Unions announced new sanctions as well and it says it will be recognizing the Election Results more on the sanctions in a moment 1st though this report from some she was at one of the largest protests at Independence Square in the center of mints. It was a very different mood on the streets of mince today compared to previous days not much of the euphoria and the festive mood that we felt that people had sort of found a new kind of freedom today it was more dominated by fear and tense because suppress a look at announced a new crackdown he has instructed his ministry to find those who have been organizing the rallies but still defiant protesters are back on the streets and a smaller number but theyre here and theyre still asking for new elections and to release all the political prisoners. Kill me or do something but let me. Come. And that this happens despite the threats and also the risk hundreds of people have gathered here again at the Independence Square saying the president is fired meanwhile the Coordination Council set up by the opposition leaders for the kind of guy held its 1st meeting and has issued a manifest calling for a dialogue about a transitional and new elections. That this Council Illegal unconstitutional saying that it was planning a coup detat but it also says theres nothing illegal they just want to have a garden with the president you know of course im afraid because i know the system used leading us to the present very near to where it. Was against which was. For me personally. We want to do a lot were not propose any legal steps so why should we be punished why thats a challenge for the opposition to keep the same masses on the street they have made its clear protesters are not giving up yet but maybe. Its Alexander Lukashenko and if alex on the Lucas Shanker is feeling the pressure hes not showing it the man hes rubella risk for more than 25 years and officially won this months election with 80 percent of the vote says his leadership is not in doubt yes it put the boot if anyone thinks that the power here is staggering and shaking your wrong i want to say that the power has someone to rely on so we will not waver we will follow up the path as we should those who today especially abroad and this is clearly visible are plotting against us will get a serious rebuff. I was earlier the losing opposition candidate who fled to lithuania for her own safety and whose husband is in jail in belarus called on european leaders to get tough mr walker has lost ordering jitteriness say in the eyes of nation and. On the off year all i call on here to support. Those e. U. Leaders gathered online for an emergency meeting convened by shell michel head of the European Council after talks broke up he outlined how theyd agreed to respond to an election they say was not free or fair and the subsequent crackdowns on protesters we stand firmly behind the right of the belarusian people to determine their own food and the e. U. Will impose shortly sentients on a substantial number of individuals responsible for violence repression and election fruit on top of those sanctions that use making money available for prodemocracy groups in belarus as well as for its Health Sector and the European Commission will mobilize now an additional 53000000. 00 euros to support the belorussian people in these challenging times. 2000000 euro want to assist the victims of repression and unacceptable state violence. 1000000 year old to support Civil Society and independent media. And 50000000 euros of coronavirus in america emergency support. All this of course is seen by the russian government as meddling a day after president Vladimir Putin wants his german counterpart not to interfere his foreign minister rejected calls for russia to press president look as shanker to talk to the opposition. That is news to everybody believing mediation is the only way out i implore them not to forget the way our western colleagues mediated in 2014 during the my down in kiev when the esteemed representatives of the European Union mediated reached an agreement i will remember what that led to. So for now with the president threatening to go after dissenters in belarus and his main ally rejecting outside involvement in dialogue the fear and uncertainty that surrounded the elections still where the aljazeera. Opposition leader says he will step back from politics after meeting soldiers who asked of the president in a coup the new military rulers awarded civil Civil Servants to return to work and promised to oversee democratic elections within and these are their words a reasonable time Frame International community those condemned with some announcing sanctions as support for and interests. The streets of by michael after months of demonstrations that resulted in death and injuries to and to government protesters opposition supporters are now ecstatic about the potential for change to the government and we do feel young and the amount of out of the way this regime fell was a good thing it was good for us so what the military did is not what they did will support the people in order to alleviate their suffering.
