Potentially a very embarrassing one for the french government because the french government have always said that they are not supplying any weapons or to libya that would be in breach of a u. N. Arms embargo and over the Years Campaign is and critics have accused france of supporting. In the sense that france perhaps feels after is someone that they can partner with in the fight against fighters in the region but france has always denied that theyve denied that support and said that they backed publicly the u. N. Peace process. Now the International Atomic Energy Agency is going into emergency session in vienna to discuss Irans Nuclear Program Washington has accused iran of Nuclear Extortion but says it remains open for talks without preconditions hours earlier irans president said the decision to increase its uranium enrichment is still within the framework of the nuclear deal and house and rouhani warned the u. K. Of consequences after it seized in the Iranian Oil Tanker off the coast of gibraltar european powers say they want to save the deal the french president top advisors into her arm for talks hes given a letter to president rouhani from emanuel my craw meanwhile the u. S. Says its working to form an International Coalition to patrol the waters off the coast of iran and yemen last month washington blamed the iran for recent oil tanker attacks in the gulf of oman. Of President Donald Trump has tweeted on iran in the past hour saying iran has long been secretly enriching in total violation of the terrible 150000000000. 00 deal made by john kerry and the Obama Administration remember that deal was to expire in a short number of years sanctions will soon be increased substantially lets go live now to vienna and jonah how jonah this tweet which ive just read out i mean quite surprising any indication then the reaction to the suggestion iran was secretly enriching to the u. S. Have information that it didnt release before up until now the i. A. E. A. Was saying iran was standing by its obligations right. Well who knows what information the United States may have and the i. A. E. A. Certainly hasnt publicly responded but if it were to do so which it might of course it might Say Something along the following lines that the u. N. Agency the Atomic Energy Energy Agency was tasked with verifying irans compliance under the j c p o since 2015 which it did consistently up to and beyond the United States unilateral withdrawal from the deal last year indeed one of the key elements of the deal was transparency so that when iran decided to upscale its enrichment activities recently it did so publicly the i. A. E. A. Was unable to go in and verify that that was the case so i imagine that there would be among the Board Members meeting as we speak some who will wonder what on earth donald trump is actually talking about now as to that meeting is still going on in fact we expect very shortly to hear from the iranian delegation is still going on if the United States who called this meeting and looking for some sort of unity of purpose here from the International Community within the i. A. E. A. Theyre likely to be disappointed the range of views among ambassadors here reflecting divisions within the stakeholders to the party itself on the one hand the americans with their sort of aggressive rhetoric calling irans expansion attempts an attempt to extort financial benefits from the International Community any rewards given to iran now they say would only increase breaches in the future the past the regime is on now says the ambassador will only deepen its International Isolation and raise the dangers it faces the e. U. The other 3 signatories in europe britain france and the United Kingdom taking a much more balanced position theyre trying to save this deal of course insisting this is not the forum they want this talked about in a joint commission under the terms of the deal a way of deescalating tensions and then of course to the other end of the scale russia and china also signatories also members of the i. Russia laying the blame for all of this at washingtons door and talking about the march towards a totalitarian world order so very little sign of unity of purpose here is or so we await the iranians view on things when they speak hopefully to the media shortly or i will be looking out for that one thanks so much for now jonah home for come back to you later in vienna lets continue this with Andrus Creagh hes an assistant professor at the Defense Studies Department of Kings College in london joins us now from the british capital i got to start with this latest tweet from donald trump so any idea there of what the u. S. President s talking about secret enrichment has been going on he says. Yes i really dont think there is much substance to that i agree with the. Assessment of the compliance of iran with the deal since 2015 and its been quite quite obvious that the iranians have a provided much of the access that was needed for the i. A. E. A. To do the inspections they never structured it what was presented to them shows they were very much in compliance even overly compliant with their deal what he might be talking about and many of those who were critical of the of the iran deal and that critical of the way of always referred to potential you know iran in being in breach already of the of International Agreements and the i. A. E. A. Deals before to the 15 by saying they were trying to build a bomb before before the iran deal before the j. C. Pewee and that in itself was in breach and that might be that might be very very likely true but that is completely irrelevant today because i dont think that iran has still has a Nuclear Program and whether they have one in the past doesnt really play a role today i think because we should concentrate on making sure that iran doesnt get the bomb in the future and thats why we should look at how compliant the iranians were and how responsive they were to diplomacy over the last couple of years and thats why this entire pressure complain whether its in the Information Space or also militarily on the ground that is i think where the problem lies and that has kind of led to the most recent escalation so i can also another issue of are we likely to see a sort of joint u. S. European force policing the straits of hormuz. Yes i think well i dont know whether we see this as a joint exercise because europe is obviously taking quite a different approach to iran than the u. S. Is doing at the moment but there its very important if then that the arranger playing a dual strategy on the one hand the government seems to be somewhat willing to negotiate someone willing to talk to the europeans to salvage the j. C. P. O. A and all the other hand weve seen the deep state and those components part of the i. R. S. Of the revolutionary guard you know trying to escalate as weve seen with attacks on tankers over the car over the last 2 months so what we have to do as the west is yes we should compare continue to do open leave the door open for negotiation engaging with the iranian government but at the same time kind of sending clear messages and really clear red lines to the r. G. C. And other nonstate actors that might be working as proxies or sergeants of the iranians on the ground who have breached red lines in the around the strait of hormuz and it is very important that you know considering the the biggest scheme of things that the iranians do not cannot get away with murder if you will cannot get away with these symmetric operations that they have been planning over the last 2 months and might potentially plan in the future so considering that i think having a joint military Naval Operation in the area is not a bad idea per se because i think it can it can create a bit of a deterrent against these are symmetric forces but there is a bit of caveat here and this caveat is that the iranians are driving an symmetric strategy right as a metric meaning they are relying on small boats they relied it relying on sorry good and naval ships are not as flexible or they are not as you know there is no capacity in the gulf at the moment neither on this side of the americans the bridge in the french nor on the side of the g. C. C. Countries so with a lack of capacity it is very difficult to really counter that as a metric strategy that the iranians are driving i think thats the bigger question mark here and thats why i think a joint Naval Operation although its of right step in the right direction is not going to be sufficient to actually deter the iranians from from escalating further. Thanks so much. Kenya is hosting a counterterrorism summit for africas leaders the u. N. Sponsored talks are designed to share information and form a united front thousands of africans have been killed and millions displaced in various countries the threats include attacks and i saw the philly its in the western saddle region join Regional Task force there are so far failed to stop the killings.

Hello again were here cross parts of turkey things are going to be changing over the next few days and the reason being is we have a frontal boundary coming in from the Balkan Peninsula brings a very heavy rain potentially Severe Weather through istanbul as well as uncorrupt so expect to see very gusty winds as well possibly some hail and once that front goes through from thursday to friday the temperatures will also be dropping there for a level though it is going to remain quite hot at 38. 00 degrees and for baghdad attempt a few of 45. 00 where here across the gulf the winds have finally subsided they were quite gusty at times bring the visibility down as well we do expect to see here in doha on thursday about 45. 00 and that will continue as we go towards friday down along the coast though for slow it is going to be quite a nice day with attempted there of about 28 degrees and then very quickly as we make our way down here across parts of Southern Africa things are not looking too bad in terms of clouds you notice in the interior those that gray that you see right there that is the overnight cooler air across much of the area so overnight we get down into the Single Digits but as we rebound during the day were going to be seeing those temperatures it come back into the low twentys so for janice 21. 00 degrees few there durban is going to be about 23. 00 with plenty of sun in your forecast and the down here across capetown it is going to be a little chilly but the tempter of 16. The term precrime comes from this movie a minority report in which a predicts could be about something an individual has not yet done but is going through and a preemptive arrest is made of someone before they perform that. If you would have asked me 37 years ago if we would have gunshot detection or video cameras in neighborhoods or be able to predict what crimes occur i would have said youre crazy precrime coming soon on aljazeera. Youre watching all the time to recap headlines now the u. K. Ambassador to the United States has resigned after a dispute with the u. S. President donald trump. Called the white house dysfunctional and described as inept and in secure raney and president Hassan Rouhani is defending his countrys you rein them in richmond saying its peaceful and still within the framework of the 2015 nuclear deal. Rounds pulled back from its commitments to the deal is the focus of an emergency meeting in vienna the u. S. Requested the International Atomic Energy Agency session iranian and u. S. Envoys are expected to address the group. Finding ways to counter iran will be a priority as u. S. Secretary of state mike meets with the amir of qatar President Donald Trump welcome show to me im bill hemmer and fanny at the white house on tuesday where 5 commercial agreements were signed the meeting comes during a difficult time in the gulf with tensions soaring between iran and the United States and an ongoing blockade on car told by some of its arab neighbors cross over now to rosen in jordan shes live for us from washington d. C. So as i said this meeting comes at a very sensitive sensitive time and sort of signals are we getting out of it about these multiple crises going on in the region. Well certainly sami i think that you can judge just by the fact that the emir received a very public welcome at the white house on tuesday was given an oval office visit with u. S. President donald trump that from the American Perspective qatar is considered an essential partner in the middle east certainly the president was very keen to underscore the close financial and economic ties between the 2 countries and he also did make note of the security arrangements that both countries share the u. S. Has its Largest Military presence in the middle east at the airbase which is north of doha and its also the home to the regional offices of Central Command thats the part of the u. S. Military that is responsible for activities across the middle east and the president underscored that the u. S. Very much appreciates the qataris for hospitality in having more than 10000. 00 u. S. Forces at this base north of downtown doha its also really important to note from a diplomatic standpoint sammy that whatever the ongoing complications are across the middle east and particularly in the gulf that the u. S. Does see that there is a role for qatar to play in trying to mediate these issues in numerous times in the past several years doha has been the place where u. S. Officials have met with taliban representatives looking to try to push ahead some sort of the bench will peace accord for afghanistan we have seen that the u. S. Is also interested in whatever can bring to the table in terms of trying to relieve tensions between the United States and iran which of course is the trumpet. Perhaps a top Foreign Policy priority because it does have relations with iran something which some here in the United States have criticized there is a sense at least coming from some Top Administration officials that when it comes to mediating th
