Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have agreed to extend by one month an understanding to keep inspections alive and continue momentum on the nuclear talks in Vienna this week.
Spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry Saeed Khatibzadeh said the agreement between Iran and the IAEA allows recording within the Additional Protocols but doesn’t give access to IAEA inspectors. Iran’s parliament had passed a bill called the Strategic Action to Remove Sanctions, which called on Iran to suspend cooperation with the IAEA. The bill was designed so that the United States would remove crippling sanctions on the Islamic Republic that were reapplied after former President Donald Trump exited the 2015 nuclear deal in 2018.

In Estonia, 99 per cent of health data is digitised in a centralised national database which allowed the course of disease outbreaks to be tracked long before the current pandemic.
Naomi O’Leary writes that Ireland is on the other end of the scale with patient records siloed across different services and an archaic reliance on paper throughout the system This, she tells us, shocks healthcare workers who have worked abroad.

Despite reports of progress that came this week out of Iran nuclear deal talks in Vienna, Iran’s Press TV says a source tells it that Tehran is rejecting segmentation” of US sanctions. This appears to mean that Iran, before it moves to again comply with the terms of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), wants a complete removal of the sanctions President Donald Trump reapplied when he exited the deal in 2018.
