Marks except the 5th anniversary with a virtual General Assembly. The scars of the better or worse political crisis an Opposition Leader meets the e. U. And demand sanctions against president Alexander Lukashenko. And the global test toll from covert 19 me is a 1000000 Less Government struggle to control the outbreak. Color u. S. Secretary of state might pompei or has announced a raft of new sanctions on those involved in irans Defense Sectors 27. 00 entities and individuals have been hits with new measures including the Iranian Defense ministry or pay or has also announced sanctions on the venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro who has built a close relationship with terror on us is also one that anyone connected to the sale or transfer of conventional weapons to iran will face sanctions. Just imagine what iran would do that for able to freely purchase more advanced weapons we have no intention of letting that happen the president s executive order announced today gives us a new and powerful tool to enforce the u. N. Arms embargo and hold those who seek to evade u. N. Sanctions accountable today i will take the 1st action under this new executive order by sanctioning the are a ministry of defense and Armed Forces Logistics and irans Defense Industries organization and its director. Has more on the iranian response to those u. S. Sanctions. We had foreign minister say that these new sanctions are nothing new that the intention of the United States was to bring the population to its knees and they have failed but what the real question is how iran will respond to the United States and how the United States decides to impose the u. N. Sanctions as they see it now within iran lots of political differences the president Hassan Rouhani and his reformist are defending the deal domestically because there has been some opposition to it but the conservative and hardliners who make up the majority of Parliament Well they want a stronger response if those sanctions are put back in place in fact the head of the commission of Foreign Policy and National Security has said that iran should return to preach a Nuclear State which means that a high level of enrichment more centrifuges more advanced centrifuges should be used and nuclear propellant should be used to aid irans navy and theres also suggestions from some of the conservatives here that should reduce its cooperation with the i. A. E. A. In terms of reducing or limiting the amount of inspections that take place but president Hassan Rouhani is very much invested in the. 2015 nuclear deal and hes policy and hes allies policy is wait and see what happens and then looking forward to the u. S. Elections but ultimately irans response will come down to how the United States reacts of what the United States does if they start stopping iranian ships and also how the United Nations and other countries around the world will react if they willingly or reluctantly start to give in to u. S. Pressure and start imposing these sanctions then we could very much see a very tough or a tougher stance a response coming from iran. Us now bring in our diplomatic editor james bases at the United Nations for us said james its important to stress that these are of course you know lateral sanctions so what has been the wider International Reaction to this u. S. Announcement. They they are unilateral sanctions because the u. S. Try it said it had done to trigger a snap back over the we can snap back it was part of the Iran Nuclear Deal which meant that you could reimpose all the sanctions if you felt that iran was not complying of course all the other countries involved in the clear deals that the u. S. Pulled out of the nuclear deal 2 years ago didnt have the right to trigger snapback and that the International Sanctions were not back in place what youve got now is most of the International Community on one side the u. S. On the other they have do have some strong supporters the u. S. Notably israel and some of the gulf states but all the key players here at the United Nations particularly the u. N. Security council on nought on the side of the United States the european allies have remained strong im told about 11 different letters have been received by the president of the u. N. Security council by countries or groups of countries and they all oppose the u. S. Position right now so the u. S. Certainly at the u. N. Right now reasonably isolated but as you just heard the big moment ahead is none of this bank were talking about now the big moment is the u. S. Election coming up in november and if donald trump wins another term where do we go were running out of road and i suspect one of the only directions we can go is in the direction of conflict james also interesting that neither the u. S. President or indeed the secretary of state all where you are right now of course the United Nations which is currently marking its 75th anniversary. Yeah that seems to have been a little bit of a snub or at least some are saying maybe not a deliberate snub but it felt like it because president trump. Were supposed to give the 1st of these addresses were having addresses by all the World Leaders he didnt tape address as World Leaders are doing he could have had one delivered by the secretary of state might pompei or the u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Kelly craft they were in washington for that meeting and announcement of those iran sanctions so instead the acting deputy ambassador to the United Nations a relatively low key official spoke 1st before president xi president macro and this array of World Leaders that will continue speaking for many hours to come so that i think the u. N. Certainly led to some raised eyebrows at a time when the u. N. Secretary general antonio good terrorists is trying to reinforce eyes the need for multilateralism countries working together. To come amity. Biodiversity is collapsing poverty is again rising hatreds is spreading geopolitical tensions are escalating and Nuclear Weapons remain on hand to be going alone. The Informative Technologies ever opened up new opportunities but also exposed new sense and the carvey of 19 pandemic as laid bare the worlds for the g. T. S. We can only address them together. As the secretary general said then there was a big test this year covert 19 this year was the year to try and get the world working together again to reboot multilateralism but instead when the test came countries instead focus on their own populations their own problems and didnt Work Together theyre now trying to change that particularly with the possibility of a vaccine to get countries working together to try and make sure that if there is a vaccine everyone in the world gets it.

Or for more now on those warnings across europe need barca has sent this update from london. The british governments been accused of sleep walking into a 2nd search of coronavirus if so this was the alarm call dispassionate data delivered by the you case chief medical and scientific officers showing a doubling of infections every week lets say there were 5000 today would be 10000 next week 20000 a week after 40000 a week 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.

Yes this is coming from the center for Disease Control and prevention whose website is an extremely important resource for millions of americans it is generally known as the premier organization on the planet on friday they released a statement on their web site that saying that covert 19 can spread through airborne spread something they called aerosols and they said that would go beyond 6 feet now that has huge implications for all of life here in the United States schools colleges businesses it goes on goes on and there are many people in the Scientific Community that believe that covert 19 is passed like that through these aerosols that go beyond 6 feet which is the recommended distance for social distancing and then a few hours ago just a couple of hours ago the c. D. C. Removed that guidance from their web site saying it was a mistake on their part and that is quite shocking when we are on the cusp of reaching 200000 deaths here in the United States or exceeding 200000 deaths and it raises the question as to whether the trumpet ministration has been politically interfering with the c. D. C. Or the c. D. C. Is refining the language of that latest warning and then they will release it but it has big implications it speaks to how politicized this pandemic has become here in the United States yancey you mentioned that milestone of 200000 death which the u. S. Is rapidly approaching how significant a milestone is that to have people there i mean are they watching the figures closely. I mean i think people are watching the figures but more importantly there arent many people ive certainly met over the last 6 months that havent been touched by this pandemic who either fall in ill themselves or lost a loved one or lost a business it is a huge milestone but i think its a continuing statistic that just shows how bad things are in this country there is no ones life that hasnt been touched by the covert 900 pandemic as is the case with the rest of the world but the figures here are shockingly bad this is supposed to be the most advanced nation in the world and yet they are not handling the covert 19 pandemic very well and we have a president ial election in a couple of months and i got a good life for us in miami thank you process has been taking place in several egyptian cities calling on president Abdel Fattah Elsisi to step down their figurehead is an Anti Government activists calling for regime change from his exile in Spain Security Forces had arrested more than 1000 people in a failed attempt to prevent the demonstrations under schapelle reports.

I think whats important here is not. Their size and that theyre happening at all in such a tightly controlled situation and really i know.
