Was referred to a sunni egypt demonstrators demanding president Abdel Fattah Elsisi step down. Counting the cost of sudans worst floods in a century inflation rose to crippling levels as the waters recede. The russian Opposition Leader spent lana ticking off sky and says the e. U. Must impose sanctions on the president Alexander Lukashenko shes in brussels today to meet top e. U. Officials and says discussions have been quote fruitful minsk has warned the meetings amount to interference in its Domestic Affairs it comes after tens of thousands of people marched through mens come sunday demanding that the president resigns. I. Was going to say want. This one moment he. Was already. Going to. Be in the war this was the one who was more. War with. Quick apology for the quality of the sun but from that line it took him off sky we will get you a better quality son but from a little later im sure lets take it live to mens can my colleagues step boston is there so step taken on sky one sanctions will she get them. Well theres clearly some frustration on the part of the opposition about the speed of the process in europe they have been discussion discussing sanctions before but they have never managed to materialize because one of the countries in europe cyprus is blocking these sanctions asking also for sanctions against turkey and all the 27 Member States have to agree on human rights sanctions before they can materialize so theres still a big question if these sanctions will be imposed but its clear that the opposition is asking for them much stronger than before because theres definitely a new face here in the political crisis i would say because until last week there was still some hope that president clinton would be able to be engaged in the dialogue also with the opposition but after look i shant go and put in maps a week ago exactly they reiterate russia reiterated this support for a look at shanghai and also some promised money a 1. 00 and a half 1000000000 u. S. Dollars so since that moment it has become become clear to the opposition that theres not much hope that russia will be engaged in a dialogue so now all hope is now focused on europe so thats why this visit by to kind of scalia to brussels is very significant she of course hopes that the sanctions will come forward she also has stressed that sanctions should be imposed on look at shankar himself thats something that youre of wasnt ready to discuss before because they really were hoping still to have some kind of dialogue with the embattled leader here in the minsk but also that has failed so far so it is a bit more of a tough for the stance here at the moment between europe and one side and minsk and moscow on the other because both of those 2 capitals have really responded to kind of sky as a visit to brussels and. The invitation by the e. U. Foreign Affairs Council saying it is interference in internal affairs here in belarus its undermining to suffer anything and also moscow said and made clear that there was this a geopolitical game that year of wants to play and they actually referred also to the crisis in ukraine which of course has led to world war and the russian backed invasion into the east of the country and thats of course something that people here in balance with want to avoid at all costs if step we are about to see the sanctions being imposed on the government i mean clearly the percent. Thats precisely what they want is the key question then become how will mr lucas react to that because i guess implicitly the who is saying look we dont trust the election we dont think you have the validity of the free and Fair Election which is keeping you in the presidency. Exactly the more steps europe is going to take against and against. Himself the angry year he has become its also clear in his response in the last week or so more people have been detained theres a harsh crackdown on the opposition so sanctions will definitely have that effect thats well and not only is the main question how look at shangri will respond to sanctions on balance but how moscow is going to respond to these sanctions the Foreign Affairs spokeswoman has urged europe not to impose sanctions will further these double life the situation in ballo rule so theres a lot of. Going back and forth between europe and russia about what is the best way forward for the people here of course theres only one solution and the majority here has made that very clear not only on the streets but in all other ways as well that they want to get rid of the president many things to correspondent there reporting live from minsk. Irans Supreme Leader has been addressing the nation today a day after the u. S. Made that unilateral move to reimpose sanctions against tehran is marking 40 years since the start of the iran iraq war on sunday irans president threatened a strong response if the sanctions a reimposed britain france and germany say sanctions relief will continue to tehran and my colleague our correspondent. Just in the last hour weve heard the latest from the International AtomicEnergy Agency the the how do we read what theyre saying about this out of vienna. Well the head of the. Grocery has said that iran is complying with inspections and that the i. A. E. A. See diplomacy as the way forward now he did visit iran at the end of last month and there was this dispute over these 2 sites where it was alleged Nuclear Material was either stored to used in the early 2000 its now iran had blocked access to those sites but after a few days here meeting with foreign minister javad zarif and president Hassan Rouhani iran did allow inspections of those sites and this is a day after the United States has announced that the u. N. Sanctions are back in place and if the United States was looking for support or Something Different from the well definitely not getting it. Is concerned iran is complying and for diplomacy is the way forward and its important to know that the i. A. E. A. Already has access to Irans Nuclear sites as declared Nuclear Facilities as 247 on line monitoring so again the United States is a bit later that the United Nations and the is actually think that we need to have diplomacy and raphael grossly visited iran thats the message that came out and iran isnt blocking anything they may be in breach of the 2015 nuclear deal in terms of some of its conditions however in terms of access to those sites well irans not blocking bills ok lets talk about search for a minute or so these comments in this National Address today from the Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei is he kind of doubling down on what we were discussing what 10 days ago he was talking to parliamentarian saying look stop the bickering stop the squabbling everyone in the country has got to be in the same place when it comes to how we react to where we think the United States is going. Absolutely how many is the political and spiritual leader of the country and he was speaking on the 40 Year Anniversary since the start of the iran iraq war and what he said was very important he didnt address the u. S. Sanctions directly but what he did say is that the United States and europe supported Saddam Hussein they equipped him against iran and said this is the west we should remember these memories especially when dealing with the west now thats a message not only for the citizens of this country in the institutions and the politicians but also for western leaders that will be listening to what he has to say is that iran stance when it comes to the west and how they trust them and how they perceive them hasnt changed and its been and its been shaped by what happened during the iran iraq war but he also issued a warning he said we owe our security today to that war and iran is stronger now and anyone any aggressor thinking of attacking iran knows that iran is strong and will not back away from fighting and that again is a warning for anyone and especially the United States if iran doesnt see the United States as an aggressor that iran wall back down and if iran is attacked they will respond and thats a rallying call to the institutions to the military to the revolutionary guard and to the politicians to get on board and possibly get ready for tough times ahead so many things are so big in iraq.

Well the situation in france as as you said we saw more than 10000 new cases of corona virus infections registered in the last 24 hours and thats pretty much been the weve seen numbers like that pretty much for the last week or so spiking last week to more than 13000 cases in 24 hours its certainly a cause for concern and in terms of hospital admissions they had been relatively low until now relatively steady but weve seen them creeping up as well as well as the number of deaths creeping up to doctors in some cities in france including marsay and border are actually warning that hospitals in their cities are starting to fill with patients in intensive care units and they could be soon at such a ration point now the government is of course people to continue to remain extremely vigilant in the country there are restrictions already in place i mean in most major cities and towns in france you have to wear a mask masks obligatory also in secondary schools in the workplace on public transport the government is saying that they want people to continue and try and have as normal a life as possible that was certainly the french president emanuel macros message last week when he visited the Tour De France the famous cycling race the place in the middle of this pandemic he was saying look there are viruses amongst us but life must go on nevertheless the government have given various authorities in the different regions in france the power to put more restrictions in place at a local level the idea is to try and avoid a National Lockdown but put restrictions at a local level so weve seen cities like leo and musee where the virus is circulating a bit more rapidly put in restrictions on people not being able to go out so late at night or not being able to buy alcohol in the Southern City of nice now public gatherings have been restricted to just 10 people is that the. A local level so in madrid this is having a big impact on quite small localized areas but a big number of people and today were expecting to hear from the u. K. Government as well because for them they seem to have a problem with do they go for a full lockdown no can they or should they do nothing no so thats a difficult square to circle here. Well i think that you know the countries that have been so badly affected by the pandemic across europe all face the same di lemma on one hand you want to keep the economy going you need to keep jobs afloat but on the other hand you need to protect Peoples Health and wellbeing and its a fine and delicate balance and as i said in france the government keen to avoid a National Lockdown looking at these regional restrictions and what were seeing in spain is another country in euro
