A day after a us right to impose more sanctions. Contact the personal. And General Assembly like never before World Leaders set to mark 75 years since the uns creation as you said youd ceremony. And in support pricing the. U. S. Open to securing victory by 6 shots to claim his 1st major title. The russian Opposition Leader skier says the e. U. Must impose sanctions on president Alexander Lukashenko she spent the day meeting Top European Union officials in brussels the government is accusing the e. U. Of interfering in its Domestic Affairs it comes after tens of thousands of people marched through minsk on sunday demanding the president s resignation. Im also asking you to demonstrate solidarity with a people support bill or a Civil Society and media organizations that remained under constant pressure by authorities. I can see the criminal investigation against those individuals involved in human rights crimes and bill rose such as free and tortures. I have compiled the list of people who participated in the brutal crackdown sanctions against them can be adopted under european magnitsky act of violence and joins us now live from min so how much concern does talk of sanctions generate very. Well quite some my concern its been quite a delicate balancing act until now in the past 6 weeks since this political crisis started between the government here and also the opposition on the other hand and europe because the more pressure was coming from europe and the opposition on the government here there was a lot of fear that the bellows and the look of shanghai would be more pushed towards russia so for a long time there was this hope that russia and putin could have been engaged in some kind of dialogue looking for a successor for a look at shankar a replacement someone who is better accepted by the people here and belarus but since that meeting between the 2 leaders last week between look at shanghai and bulletin in which it has reiterated his support for the question this whole question of vanished but then also promised to put more money into his regime one and a half 1000000 a 1000000000 u. S. Dollars so since then the mood has changed and now i think we can safely say that the kind of sky as a visit to brussels could be the start of a new face of this whole crisis in which europe is putting more pressure on the regime and on the question to himself to. Bring those responsible to justice to resign as well and. The more pressure europe is putting on him the more angry minsk but also moscow is responding both of capitals both governments here have said that they feel that this european interference is interfering in Domestic Affairs its undermining the software ran a tee off for belarus and also as a proof that europe is actually playing geo political games with bellows something that they do night in the 1st place and the same time weve had the announcement today that hundreds of people were arrested in yesterdays protest how is that being digested. Well sadly enough this has become sort of a common practice people are getting used to it so to speak more than 400 people were detained on sunday more than 400 people were detained on saturday we can actually say that more than a 1000 people maybe even 2000 people have been detained on the weekly basis in the past 6 weeks nearly 12000 people have been detained many of them have been released but most of the opposition is behind bars or forced to flee the country but that hasnt stopped the protesters from going to the street it actually has only increased their determination so to speak there more angry now and it actually also has led to more calls for her to be brought to justice because theyre really upset about the brutality the regime has been displaying to calm these protests all right stand vance and from an. That have been protests in several egyptian cities calling on president of the fatah assisi to step down Security Forces had arrested more than 1000 people ahead of demonstrations to stop them from taking place reports for. Defying government orders to stay home thousands of egyptians marched on sunday to express their anger about deteriorating conditions and called on the president to resign. South of the capital cairo and giza demonstrators were hurt chanting against the military police later fire tear gas to disperse the crowd of stone throwers. Security was heightened ahead of the demonstrations after actor and businessman turned opposition figure. Called for mass protests against president abdel fatah sisi from exile in spain to how most egyptians unite out of love for the egyptian people take back your country again dont leave it in a hands down with the sisi regime down with the sisi regime dont go home do not go home if you go home they will detain us dont go home were in the streets and now we need to stay there and. There were similar scenes one year ago after all the accuse the military run government of widespread corruption and stealing millions of dollars of public money thousands rally then and thousands were arrested after in 1. 00 of the biggest crackdowns of ccs rule more than 2300. 00 people according to Amnesty International this time the rates came 1st it was over a 1000 preempt tensions at metro stations bus stations areas like this and theres been a crackdown on. University students citizens all agree and larger. I think whats important here is not. Their size that theyre happening at all in such a. Situation and we. Know. This is just the anniversary of the protests last year some answered alis call to march but not the millions hed hoped for still its proven that many egyptians will find a way to vent their frustrations and call for change d no matter the cost and. The uns Nuclear Watchdog says iran has complied with demands for access to sensitive sites the comments from the International Atomic Energy Agency were made during the groups annual conference in the area becomes a day after the us declared it will unilaterally reimpose sanctions on iran under a clause of the nuclear deal we needed to continue our so important work in terms of inspections in many countries including in cases like in the Islamic Republic of iran we were able to solve some important difficulties we had there restart corporation and we continue the indispensable inspection activity in that country as in the rest of the world we weather every crisis through diplomacy and we will continue doing so fear a nuclear deal was signed in 2015 by turan and 6 global powers the u. S. U. K. Germany france russia and china under the agreement iran will limit its Nuclear Activities including reducing stockpiles of enrich uranium the deal came under pressure in 2018 when President Donald Trump pulled out a spine that the u. S. On saturday declared on its own that it was reimposing sanctions on iran under a clause in the Nuclear Agreement 13 of the 15 countries in the u. N. Security council are refusing to support this. Is a policy fellow at the European Leadership Network he says the u. N. Nuclear agency has been able to properly monitored iran for many years. Agency and iran have come to an agreement on the issues that they had over 2 particular sites but even through the coded pandemic the agency has been granted access to all of the sites that you were on is meant to give access to last year there was a Record Number of over 400 inspections in addition to kind of complimentary access visits which are on short notice and also Real Time Monitoring through the incredible Verification Technology thats part of the Iran Nuclear Deal last week we had the i. A. E. A. Board of governors convening where the u. S. Tried to again. So called iran in noncompliance with the agreement but they were very isolated the meeting this week the i generally conference is an annual gathering where all Member States not just the ones on the eve board of governors will meet to approve the agencys budget to discuss outstanding issues etc but the general consensus is that the meeting will not have iran feature heavily on the agenda as it did in last week at the board of governors meeting and thats mainly because the agency and iran are in a good place at the moment. And Iran Supreme Leader says his country will not back down in the face of aggression on sunday irans president threatened a strong response if sanctions are imposed britain france and germany say sanctions relief will continue. Has more from to head on. Speaking on the occasion of the start of the iran iraq war 40 years ago and what he said was that the west the United States and the west armed iraq they gave him weapons but didnt iran and he said specifically talking about the west he said that the europeans trampled over their human rights when they were dealing with iraq and arming Saddam Hussein and said this is the west we should remember this if you keep these memories in mind when dealing with the west now thats a message not just for the iranians that is the message to the institutions and the politicians but also western leaders and hes letting the west know that this is approaching the approach to iran takes that has been shaped by a conflict that iran iraq war and how the west armed Saddam Hussein so iran is still very suspicious and skeptical of the west and in terms of buying arms well yesterday javadoc the reef the foreign minister said iran hasnt. Had arms trade with the west since the 1979 revolution here and theyre looking to friendly countries essentially russia and china but i had to look how many of the spiritual and political leader of the country also issued a warning he said that any aggressor should know that iran is that weak they know iran isnt weak and they would think twice before attacking the country because they know that iran wont be backing down from a fight. Plenty more still ahead on the news hour including the u. K. s chief scientific advisor wants credible cases could soon reach 50000 the day unless urgent action is taken in support of the Los Angeles Lakers secure a last 2nd win in the n. B. A. Playoffs and we will be here with that story. Parts of sudan are bracing for more heavy rain as the cleanup from earlier floods continues more than 120 people died at least 100000 homes have been damaged to add to the difficulties downs currencies declining against the u. S. Dollar thats leading to inflation and an increase in food prices. Morgan has this from a town along the river niles banks. The river nile is starting to recede here in sudan after causing devastating floods which has affected more than 770000 people countrywide and destroyed more than 140000 homes now most of the damage has been along the areas that lie on the banks of the nile river one of them being this area of chicago and river and i would state now people here say more than 100 homes have been completely damaged you can see some of the damages here they say that lets rings have completely collapsed resulting in sewage water coming out and this is the water level for the past 12 days now they say they have not seen the water receding yet and theyre concerned about water borne diseases they said that they wanted the government to come and spray pesticide insecticide so that they can kill the moscow lover now that all hasnt happened and theyre saying that they dont know what will come next because there has been no plan given to them by the government in terms of compensation the government says that the effects of the damage will be felt for months and its very hard to conclude how much was lost financially and how many people will be affected long term by the floods but people here say they know what their needs are they know that they need shelters they know that they need medications and they know that they need pesticides so many demands that they say the government needs to respond to in time so that the effects of the floods are not felt for a long time to come. Conflict escalates some are hoping the writing of a new constitution could lay the groundwork for reconciliation and peace. Groups fighting for ancestral land rights and their heightened presence of fries police have increased violence in the region our latin america the terrorists in newman falls from. 21 year old mark brandon in bleakest winterkorn was brought up to respect julian institutions including the police that is until the day 4 years ago when a special forces officer shot him in the back at point blank range in front of his house the no apparent reason. I remember all our dogs run up to me and started licking my blood off the floor like an animal i could see the hole in my back thats when i think it was 17 operations later hes still carrying more than a 100 lead pellets in his body yet what has most enraged the family is the fact that the offending officer is still free despite all the evidence against him now brandons once docile mapuche a mother has become a tireless activist 4 months ago the family took older 200 hectares of this land that legally belongs to a chilean family rather than fight the owners let them up which is family estate they were very quick to say what im about theres no equality or justice for them up here theres only justice for the rich and powerful this land recoverys a way to compensate for the damage theyve done many are afraid to do this but we must have thick skins to resist all the prosecutions and mediation of the press. Brandon is by no means the only man whos been wrongfully shot killed or imprisoned by police. Centuries of injustice and discrimination are feeding rebellion and armed groups are increasingly resorting to violence to expel those whom they say have usurped their land and driven them into poverty nearly 140 years ago the chilean states recognize them approaches ownership of much. This territory through a land title is called the mint says today most chileans believe its too late to turn the clock back and return the land to the my porches which raises the all important question is there any room for compromise so that the chilean state and them up porches can coexist in peace. And he said would not be in an emblematic mcconnachie long or chief was wrongfully imprisoned for 5 years under chiles controversial antiterrorism law today he condemns the violence carried out by whom he calls a minority of map which of radicals look at what lies ahead is terrible no one says it but this violence the killing of innocent people will bring sorrow or more 40 to all of us the divisions among us our tragedy but remains do our best. Rival mapuche is protested outside accusing the dean of betrayal he and other long state officials last week to present a 12 point list of demands they include recognition of the Language Culture social order and autonomy in their territory. The current constitution doesnt recognize Indigenous Peoples existence but next month chileans are almost certain to approve the creation of a new constitution which could pave the way for significant changes he said wanted to see hopefully a new constitution if it recognises chillers Indigenous People will help but he wont guarantee respect which is very different but its an important step. The muppet it and childrens rights activist believes teaching chileans to recognize and respect of a particular street and culture are key. But while there is growing public support for them up which a cause distrust of the chilean state and its institutions remain deep rooted. And how much both sides are willing to concede especially on the crucial issue of Land Ownership would terminate whether or not there can be peace in this volatile region. You see in human aljazeera will you believe jinnie. Now World Leaders are about to address the United Nations to mark 75 years since its creation secretarygeneral antonio opening the special ceremony one day ahead of the annual un General Assembly lets bring in our diplomatic editor james bays he joins us now live from the United Nations headquarters so james what kind of messages do we expect to hear in the coming days. Well certainly on this the 75th birthday of the u. N. And theyre going to try and celebrate the uns achievements speaking to the session right now as the president of the General Assembly volcanic bosky or hes just said that 75 years ago the u. N. Just had 51 members now it has 193 theyre trying to celebrate what the u. N. Has achieved during 75 years but of course if you look at where we are now this has been a very challenging year for the u. S. Theyd hoped that this celebration this anniversary would be a chance to reboot multilateralism to get countries working together but theyve had the test of coded 19 and that is actually meant that countries and their leaders have been focusing on their National Response not the interNational Response of the u. N. Has been left somewhat sidelined 75 years ago and actually the 1st General Assembly was in january 946 but they had to come in person because there was no other way there was no technology this time they cant come in person the u. N. Says because of the pandemic so this is a largely Virtual Meeting were going to see the different World Leaders speaking by video both on the 75th vent and when the general debate those big speeches from the leaders one by one take place from choose state clearly so many issues as ever at the u. N. General assembly to discuss conflicts around the world but leading everything of course is the pandemic so what do they need to do with regard to the pandemic is a question i put to the head of the Wealth Health organization the world Health Organization dr ted dross. One immediate problem that we see now in the world is lack of global solidarity. The major parties are not working together so they should if they are really. You know if theyre going to show real commitment to defeating this pandemic its by how being in solidarity thats number one and of course chains we cant forget the 75 years later the u. N. In the trump era of unilateral ism nationalism and to multilateral action find itself quite a Different International context right. Absolutely it really is a challenge to the whole ideals of the u. N. And the way the u. N. Works you just have to look for example about around our over snapback which is taking place right now to do with the Iran Nuclear Deal the u. S. Saying that its triggered this provision in that deal 5 years ago called snap back and the rest of the members of the Security Council saying no you havent and what will be interesting is we have the speeches here for the 75th anniversary is to see who actually speaks for the United States its not clear whether President Trump will definitely speak on tuesday is going to be speaking here and actually while this is taking place theres another event taking place very shortly in washington d. C. Which will have the secretary of state and the u. N. Ambassador in search of the secretary of defense so they wont be here either anyway the u. N. Secretary general is here speaking in person and tonio terrace. Excellent sues the ideals of United Nations peace justice equality and dignity. And worlds that youre going to ization we celebrate too they emerged only after the men suffering. It took 2 world wars millions of deaths and the orders of the other costs for World Leaders to commit to International Cooperation and the rule of law that commitment produced results asserted world war which so many had feared has been avoided its never been more than history if we go on so many years without a military confrontation between the major powers this is a great achievement of which Member States can be proud of and which we must all strive to preserve down the decades there have been other historic accomplishments including peace treaties and peacekeeping decolonization human rights standards and the mechanisms to uphold them the triumph over apartheid lifesaving humanitarian aid for millions of victims of conflict and disaster the dedication of diseases the steady reduction of hunger the Progressive Development of International Law landmark pacts to protect the environment and our planet and most recently unanimous support for the Sustainable Development goals and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change provided an inspiring vision for the 21st century yet there is still so much to be done of the 150. 00 at the 850. 00 delegates the San Francisco conference just 8 where women 25 years since the beijing platform for action gender inequality remains the greatest single challenge to human rights around the worlds climate calamity looms biodiversity is collapsing poverty is again rising hatred is spreading geopolitical tensions are escalating and Nuclear Weapons remain on hair trigger alert. Transformative technologies ever opened up new opportunities but also exposed new sets and the covered 19 pandemic as laid bare the worlds fragilities we can only address them together today we have a surplus of multilateral challenges and the deficits of Multilateral Solutions i welcome the General Assembly 75th anniversary declaration and commitment to reveal rights multilateralism you have invited me to assess outward vents a common agenda and i will report back with analysis and recommendations and these will be an important and inclusive process of profound reflection already we know that we need more and more effective multiple tried to reason with vision and vision and in fact National Serenity appeal of United Nations goes hand in hand with enhanced International Cooperation based on common values and shared responsibilities in pursuit of progress for all no one wants a World Governments but we must Work Together to improve World Governments in an interconnected world we need the networks multilateralism in which the United Nations Family International Financial Institutions regional organizations trading blocks and others Work Together more closely and more effectively and we also need as the president said an inclusive multilateralism drawing on Civil Society cities businesses local authorities and more and more on young people mesdames in issue the secrete a silly place if any of you have see how many. Planets there with a 1000000 the person ive ever known in a time on going over the journey dont want to love one leap to see pearl of a pair the left hand to love this. If this scheme has she went on national it then the sponsors will fast so he really did not play bach its all a vehicle upon the media does nothing on this its only the preview front uncle. Mondavi it was when the sees them the something be it a serious the bars universal vision kind like. The. Never has the world gone for so long without conflict between the world powers the words there of antonio secretary general of the United Nations addressing the special session to mark 75 years the 75th anniversary of the United Nations a special session being held in the General Assembly he hailed some of the achievements as he saw it of the United Nations over the last decades Progressive Development of International Law the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the development of life saving aid among just some of the achievements which. Mention enlisted there and he looked towards the future saying we need more multilateralism with vision. Diplomatic editor james basis danding by live so weve seen this speech then james kick off this special session with the secretary general i guess you could say waving the u. N. Flag. You know. What it certainly is a day for that and commemorating the achievements of the u. N. I think its worth noting that word that keeps coming up in here the while the one key word multilateralism but what that means is all the countries of the world pulling together for a common good trying to prevent world war trying to end Global Hunger big issues like that and it is notable that the secretary general said we have a surplus of multilateral challenges and a deficit of Multilateral Solutions particularly now with the pandemic the u. N. Severely tested severely tested not just because people are coming to the u. N. Saying solve this because people are going round the u. N. Avoiding the u. N. Its many saying the u. N. Might be irrelevant to that i think is the big challenge for the secretary general the world came together 75 years ago at the end of a world war but at the time of a Global Pandemic each countries doing things their own way all right thanks so much james freys im sure going to come back and chat with you a little bit later lets let you take a break from this for now thanks so much. Lets catch up on some other momentous news and evertons here to bring us is it really all brains im afraid of the day what its going are going to spin it around and much of north america saying plenty of sunshine we can see the sun out there in new york with with changes of fall there so some parts things and good bits where we really need the rain sammy its not really going to happen weve got west of weather down towards the deep south thats where weve got Tropical Storm beta making its way towards southern texas and then just off sure theyre just out of the open waters to the east of bermuda well thats where we have teddy and thats going up towards the canadian maritimes as we go through the next couple of days a very wet and windy weather coming in here but lets focus we have for making its way further. The northwoods staggering further north was only going at around 9 Kilometers Per Hour it does bring with it with that slow pace of movement we are looking at life threatening storm surge and some very very heavy rainfall some parts could see maybe 300 to 500 millimeters of rain over the next few days as half a meter of rainfall you can see how slow its moving started off on friday still in a very similar picture over the last 3 and a half days theres only just made it towards the south coast towards galveston just towards the of our south of texas we are going to see it making its way further north as we go on through the next couple of days but again only very slowly this is really joking pace so very heavy rain making its way across much of texas towards louisiana we have got sizes from years away at long last those sammy making its way towards the northwest bang summit share with and now governments across europe are really imposing restrictions to combat code 19 as the number of new infections rises madrids regional chief for example asked for help from the army to cope with the outbreak thats after a lockdown was reimposed in the spanish capital affecting nearly a 1000000 people new rules are also being implemented in 2 french cities deemed as virus red zones more than 10000 new infections were confirmed in france on sunday and in the u. K. Prime minister baraks johnson will hold an emergency cobra meeting after the chief scientific adviser warned there could soon be an expert tench all rise in infections lets say there were 5000 today would be 10000 next week 20000 a week after 40000 we can of them and you can see that by mid october if that continued you would end up with Something Like 50000. 00 cases in the middle of october per day. 50000. 00 cases per day would be expected to lead a month later so the middle of november say to 200. 00 plus deaths per day and the virus following the story from westminster in london but 1st lets go to paris and the cash flow and tasha were talking about cases rising in france how much concern and worry is that causing. Well is a cause for concern because in the past 24 hours france again registers more than 10000 new cases of corona virus and those cases have been rising up over the past few weeks now doctors in some cities including mass say and border even warning that the number of people being admitted to hospital is also on the rise and in their particular hospitals they are saying that intensive care units could soon become saturated unless the situation is brought under control the government has been all along saying that it wishes to avoid a National Lockdown so what it has done is put more power in the hands of regional authorities to try and impose regional restrictions and thats what weve been seeing again over the last few weeks and we saw that again today the city of les are putting in more restrictions in its city as weve seen in bus say in nice in many of these major major cities where people are no longer allowed to stay out at night so long some bars must close earlier restrictions on the sales of our whole restrictions on the number of people who can meet for example in they are no more than 10 people at a time can gather in any one place of course this is all designed to try and slow and stop the spread of the coronavirus in france the french president has said look the virus is among us we must live with it nevertheless is trying to urge french people to continue life as normally as possible but taking all the restrictions Wearing Masks social distancing and that kind of thing in the trash if you look across the continent is that always seeing in other places places like spain i mentioned earlier where theyre trying to avoid National Long downs and go for more sort of regional and targeted restrictions. Well so many countries in europe were so badly battered by the pandemic at its peak in march and april earlier this year and of course they want to try and avoid the sort of National Lock downs they put in place at that time because they had such a detrimental effect to those nations economies and again thats what weve seen here in france and weve seen that in spain the government there saying that it wishes to avoid a National Lockdown but its putting in a targeted lockdown so all storage fees in the madrid region are putting a knockdown imposing a lockdown on certain districts in the majority region where corona virus infection cases have been spiking over the last few days that means that people there will not be able to leave their home unless they are going to work because of course again the government very keen that people continue to go to work continue to bore the economy but those restrictions in the majority region will affect more than 800000 people and across europe weve seen infections rise in countries like the Czech Republic in the netherlands and weve heard from the Health Minister of germany saying that the way that the virus is really spreading and circulating in countries like france like austria like the netherlands is extremely worrying all right lets thank. Continue this now with neve barker hes standing by live for us and none that and the question there in the u. K. Seems to be what kind of restrictions or even lockdown is on its way for the u k. Well most certainly the British Government is eyeing the decisions being made by governments across europe very very closely we are expecting the Prime Minister Boris Johnson to speak in the house of commons behind me on choose day a possible announcement well it looks increasingly likely that restrictions will be imposed how wide those restrictions are or how localised those restrictions are at the current state we just simply dont know the British Governments been accused in recent weeks of sleepwalking its way into this 2nd surgery coronavirus cases if that is the case and what happened at downing street this morning was something of a very very loud alarm call a double briefing by the health and scientific chief offices there were no media that asked questions the political figures that it was. Designed mainly to present cold dispassionate data that showed in shots off the chart that the figures are going in the wrong direction that there is a doubling in infection rates every 7 or 8 days according to the officials by the middle of next month we could well see around 50000 new infections a day a month later that could mean a possibility of 200 deaths a day the reasons are varied to the governments been under an awful lot of criticism and scrutiny for failing to ramp up testing there appears to be a lack of capacity basically and many laboratories to be able to rapidly increase testing but also a failure of the governments messaging the instructs people to isolate if they have come into close contacts with people with covert 19 weve come across cases where people have ignored the rules and its led to a surge in cases very last see weve already seen restrictions imposed in the northeast and northwest of england the question is whether well see something similar here in the capital or whether that will be extended to a more nationwide measures in the coming days choose day afternoon will be crucial in understanding what the governments next plan is clearly a very changing Health Landscape in europe thanks so much need aka. Now a monument dedicated to those who died during the pandemic has been unveiled in brazil the architect of the infinity memorial says she wants to provide families with a symbol of their loss monika a i think you have reports from Rio De Janeiro she said they sold lost her father to the Novel Coronavirus 4 months ago her family among the hundreds of thousands who have lost a loved one and now their names are recorded on a memorial for 1000 victims. The 39 needer long monument wing almost 2000 kilos is the 1st of its kind in brazil. Seeing his name here has given me closure i feel the memorial has immortalized him he is no longer just a number in the long list of People Killed by the pandemic now i feel this as my 2nd home zed his father died last may and his body placed in the family tomb Safety Measures prevented the family having a proper wakool funeral even those who have not been buried or cremated here have a right to be a part of this memorial there are 30 names that have already been in graded on the medal but as you can see there is space for 4000. 00 in total. Its a small fraction of the total of brazils kovan 1000. 00 related deaths more than 136000 have died in the pandemic making the country the worlds 3rd largest hotspot and the numbers are still growing architect santos says she has been working in 7 teris for the last 10 years but never witnessed so much pain she decided to create a memorial to help families move on isa pursue booky a similar to the virus took us by surprise and put our lives on standby more so for those who lost loved ones and were able to see a proper goodbye this sculpture in the shape of waves is meant to show was that life goes on thats why i called it infinity. The pandemic also seems without end claiming thousands of lives every day in brazil but she said he says the memorial is a chance for people to stand together in difficult times and twine or and remember those theyve lost. All just sirrah Rio De Janeiro. Now some of the Worlds Largest banks have allowed trillions of dollars in suspected illicit funds to be transferred thats according to a report by the International Consortium of investigative journalists it names 15 major banks including h. S. B. C. Standard chartered and the central bank of the United Arab Emirates it says they sent more than 2000 suspicious activity reports to u. S. Authorities over 17 years these are not necessarily proof of wrongdoing the report says banks money to be moved this concerns over the origins shares in h. S. B. C. And Standard Chartered fell to their lowest level since 998. 00 after the report was released both banks say they have reformed and invested heavily in their ability to fight financial crime. Lets bring in money a martini in berlin shes a research and policy expert on corrupt money flows at Transparency International good to have you with us so 1st for help us put this into context what exactly were the illicit transactions that these banks are accused of being involved in hi good to be with you today so the financing files what they show its suspicious activity reports that have been submitted by banks to us how toit. Invited choses that this bank stay continued to do business with clients that they themselves suspected were facilitating corruption as you just had in your introduction a suspicious activity report doesnt mean that actually something is wrong its just a red flag right so banks are in a very good position to raise those those red flags and then contribute to the work of flying far isman that then well investigate further the main problem here is that it doesnt seem that the banks are submitting this suspicious transaction or its in a timely manner to start with and. That often this theres reports were a very very poor quality india is severely affected felt or it just to stop the flow of money. How surprising is it that there have been this sort of i mean 15 banks and they include some of the biggest names in the world and this number of suspicious transactions i mean is that a sign of can you call that in any stretch of the mind well business as usual banks deliberately flouting the rules. I think there is a risk here that banks are simply subs made me think suspicious theres action reports as a check that box exercise and thats very problematic you dont need to have a very high number of suspicious transactions reports that are not of good quality and in that are not helping out or it is to identify suspicious transactions if this comes as a surprise no i dont think it comes as a surprise we have seen in the cup the next and the last couple of years a lot of schemes that have been uncovered that highlight to the row of banks in Corruption Cases and actually we think that the problem is actually bigger than the if in same files show we know that most of the banks involved in major corruption scandals from the fast didnt even file suspicious activity report or only did when the details had already emerged in to me jim what do you think this says about the issue of all banking reform i mean these banks claim they say hey this is happened over a long period of time weve already made the changes this is old news is that true do you think. I dont think so if we look as if we look at the types of mistakes that are there i think that we have been seeing in the ninetys and we continue to seeing 20152016 into time 17 and the line of the banks has always seemed to something of the best it is actually the same mistakes being repeated over and over again what we see is that theres really a need here for a supply of supervision to be a strain ill try to shouldnt be waiting and to wrong doing is that acted to check if banks have adequate Money Laundering programs in place and to see whether they actually implement them effectively and then we really need to change our sanctions regime we need banks and senior managers to be subject to effective and just ways of sanctions otherwise i would say they have very little incentive to check high risk clients and say no to there are too many and i think lastly one of the things thats also havent changed much in the last year is that the papers back in 2016 already show to us how and money most companies were crucial to corrupt and cream those that wanted to who wanted to move money i crossed jurisdictions and here again these reports were showed that for the great majority of those that were reported by banks they didnt manage to identify their real interview to be hard before behind the companies that they were making films actions so here it shows once again that the u. S. In particularly in needs really to put an end to the Anonymous Companies ok good scale folds thank you very much very amoss heaney thank you.

Whats really the problem what were really stressing here is that we are running out of time we cant continue with in the same model of highly unequal and carbon intensive growth there is no more time left remaining Global Carbon budget to keep global heating below the target that was set by governments in the Paris Agreement a few years ago that will run out of current rates in the next 10 years so we need governments to change course urgently now before its too late i think if theres one thing that weve learnt through the Global Pandemic is firstly that governments can take quite radical action things that would have seemed unthinkable just one year ago all of a sudden being discussed and also all of us as individuals weve all made quite drastic changes in our lives and it shows that it is possible now thats happened in a very unplanned chaotic often unfair way for millions of people around the world but it shows that we can organize our societies differently when were faced with a really urgent threat what we need now is to move to a planned fair democratic adjust transition to a low carbon world thats got to happen now so were calling on government that are planning their recoveries from the pandemic to put tackling Climate Change and inequality at the heart of those efforts that the only way that will be able to support reducing poverty around the world while preventing the preventing the the worst effects of runaway Climate Change and its going to happen now at least 10 people have died when a building collapsed in the indian city of tire in a just outside mumbai a search operation is underway for more than a dozen people feared trapped more than 20 others including children were rescued not yet clear why the 3 Story Building fell down.
