Off the rails south africas Railway System grinds to a halt leaving hundreds of thousands stranded. A day of isolation for the u. S. In the Security Council with the u. S. Breaking with all permanent members of the u. N. Body unilaterally declaring 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 2 years ago are the signatories say the u. S. No longer has the legal power to force through any changes our diplomatic editor 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 u. S. 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 snap back one thing that the Previous Administration got right as 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 well do the rest of the world have ignored the u. S. Declaration and in some ways more important than snapback 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 mean i think it is easier some people have made it out to be. President im certain i dont want that yet and then everything distributed we go back to status quo ante i think actually youre i mean on certain points you argue that the man out in station 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 the station yet diplomats say behind the scenes a great deal of pressure was put on the album. Members of the Security Council to support the u. S. Position only one country the small nation of dominican republic. Whatever washington says it seems that the plan to snap back sanctions has failed james. At the United Nations. That spring as have begun to this now joins us live from tehran so what iranian officials saying about this well foreign minister divides raef has been speaking and he reiterated the position of iran that the United States is in no position to impose sanctions or even trigger the snapback mechanism because they left that agreement to donald trump pulled the United States out of that agreement in 2018 but there is a concern here into her hand that the United States may try to stop it raining ships to try and impose those u. N. Sanctions to that said that there would be a Firm Response in the face of any u. S. Piracy on the high seas but he also addressed the issue of countries opposing the United States and the arms embargo thats set to expire next month. You usually have 2 situations they believe the u. S. Is not in a position to be the Decision Maker regarding an issue here we face the 2nd condition countries believe the u. S. Is in no position to act against iran if you remember more than a month ago the u. S. Put forward a resolution to extend arms restrictions some mistakenly use the word embargo after the Un Resolution 2231 came into force iran was not under arms embargo any more it only needed permission from the Security Council for purchase or sale of weapons so the u. S. Already had sanctions in place other countries are not going along with this what sort of impact is this expected to have on irans economy. Thats right the United States has already put iran under sanctions and what they call it is their maximum Pressure Campaign so irans Banking Sector irans oil sector iran cant sell its oil any revenues it has outside of the country from the early cant bring back into the country any assets iran has outside of its country it cannot get back into the country the economy is struggling the currency has lost its value considerably since the start of the krona virus pandemic so iran is under a lot of strain now what the United States is threatening is sanctioning. Conover finding countries that deal with iran in the face of what the United States sees is the real position of these sanctions and when we were speaking to people on the streets they say they see how worse can it get its already bad enough but there are some people think that actually it can get worse and thats a considerable fear coming out of the horizon if you 90 state starts or tries to impose these sanctions stopping you bring in ships finding other countries then it could get far worse for the iranian economy or a. Rock. Tens of thousands of time 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 and elections criticism of the monarchy is illegal in thailand demonstrators also place to park next to the grand palace in bangkok declaring the nation belongs to the people more protests are planned for thursday and the general strike next month when hanging has more from bangkok. All 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 ceremonies 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.
