Off the rails south africas Railway System grinds to a halt leaving hundreds of thousands. The u. S. Has broken with all the other permanent members of the Un Security Council and unilaterally declare the reimposition of sanctions on iran americas major allies britain france and germany say sanctions relief will continue the dispute is over the Iran Nuclear Deal washington pulled out of that 2 years ago the other signatories say the u. S. No longer has the legal power to force through any changes diplomatic go to james bays reports. Its aroud its even pitted the u. S. Against some of its closest allies and its now over 5 years since the Iran Nuclear Deal was signed in vienna joining the negotiations the us team under the leadership of the then secretary of state john kerry devised a mechanism called snap back if iran breached its commitments all International Sanctions could snap back into place but thats not the way things played out the United States will withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Deal it was the u. S. Under President Trump that pulled out of the deal 2 years ago. Despite this in objections from the rest of the International Community the u. S. Still argues it could trigger a snapback the one thing that the Previous Administration got right is they created provision where under u. N. Security Council Resolution 2231. Any one of the nations identified there had the right to say we want the sanctions that were in place prior to this that moment to snap back and thats what will do the rest of the world have ignored the u. S. Declaration and in some ways more important than snap back is what happens on november the 3rd but one of the diplomats who negotiated the iran deal told me even if joe biden is elected president on that day getting back into the deal might not be that easy i dont think its as easy as some people have made it out to be that president im certain i want that yes and then everything we go back to status quo ante i think actually youre i mean insert why its you argue that 8 man out and say she or the sanctions or other countries may see the United States issues coming out of. Your ass so i think its going to be much more complicated than just. Yet diplomats say behind the. Seems a great deal of pressure was put on the other members of the Security Council to support the u. S. Position only one country the small nation of Dominican Republic did so whatever washington says it seems that the plan to snap back sanctions has failed james bows out of syria at the United Nations as a big giant us now live from tehran so what kind of reaction are we getting out of the iranian capital. Well the reins have been pretty consistent with this stance that is that they believe that the United States is in no position to repose sanctions or even trigger thats that because they left that 2015 nuclear deal as far as iran is concerned the United States has no legal basis to do so but there is concern here in in teheran about how the United States will impose those u. N. Sanctions as they see it and this concern that the United States may stop. Ships on the seas and foreign minister javad zarif was speaking last night and he said that there would be a Firm Response to any piracy u. S. Piracy on the high seas now we have to talk about where iran is a place strategically the strait of hormuz where 20 percent of the worlds world passes through and then and its narrowest point between iran and oman is around 39 kilometers the shipping lanes even narrower and and history does tell us even just last year when an iranian ship was seized off the coast of gibraltar by british authorities iran responded by seizing a british flag tanker so when iran says that they will respond history does tell us that they are likely to do so and there is a military buildup in the region and it does tend tend to be that could be a possibility of a military miscalculation but also iran is looking forward to that october the 18th deadline where the arms embargo runs out on iran and the United States try to extend the arms embargo and successfully and iran yes stage of odds are that they dont do any trade with europe in terms of arms theyre looking to friendly nations such as russia and china who are far less concerned with the u. S. Sanctions against them. And i said help put this into context for us because of course iran was already under u. S. Sanctions before this announcement was this announcement designed to increase u. S. Sanctions or a failed attempt to bring other powers on board with the sanctions. With a bit of both the United States is operating under their maximum pressure policy which is trying to put as much pressure as they can on iran now irans economy is already struggling the currency has lost a lot of its value since the start of this kroner virus pandemic the oil and banking sectors are under sanctions iran cant trade oil any revenues it did have the cant bring back into the country any assets that iran has outside of the country they cant get that cash into the country some medicines they cant bring into the country so iran is struggling and outside in the streets here into her and when we were speaking to people many people were saying well how bad is it going to get its already pretty bad but some people were concerned that it could get worse and that is a concern for the reunion authorities because theyre already under sanctions and its also about how the United States will impose these the United States is threatening 2nd resections or 2nd kind of punishments for countries that deal with iran and thats some of the frustrations that iran has had with the europeans now they say its not enough for the europeans to oppose the United States because they have managed to find a way around the sanctions and to stand up to what iran calls u. S. Bullying all right thanks so much there. Now tens of thousands of tired protesters have ended a new round of demonstrations by presenting a set of demands to the monarchy it calls for the kings power to be limited a new constitution to be drawn and elections to be held produces a mob the monarchy is illegal in thailand demonstrators also placed the plug next to the grand palace in bangkok clearing the nation belongs to the people more protests are planned for thursday and the general strike next month when haye has more from bangkok. For the significance 1st of all is the location where the protest was held tens of thousands of people turning out on saturday and where this park has been placed which is the park that you mentioned just across the road from the grand palace its a Historic Site its been the scene of many royal sirrah monies for centuries and it used to be a place that was open to the general public to use during the day as well but in recent years thats not been the case its been off limits to the public so the protest leaders made it clear that that was one of their targets they wanted to retake this park for the people and thats exactly what they did and in the early hours of sunday morning they dug up a section of the concrete in the park and place this plaque into that area and now the significance of the park itself is that it commemorates the 1932 revolution that turned thailand from an absolute monarchy into a constitutional one so the park says that thailand is for the people not just for the king 3 years ago an official park in another location nearby mysteriously disappeared overnight so that was seen by many certainly the protesters here and as another sign that the king was strengthening his power and perhaps turning thailand back into an absolute monarchy again.

Theres a wave of sentiment around the world where people actually want accountability from the people who are running their countries and i think often peoples voices are not hired because theyre just not part of the mainstream news narrative. Obviously we cover the big stories and report on the big events going on but we also tell the stories of people who generally dont have a voice i mean when i was a child my thats never be afraid to put your hand up and ask a question and i think thats what i observe and does he ask the questions to people who should be accountable and also get people to give their view of whats going on was cool.
