Your child is here a reminder of our top stories this hour the United States has now recorded more than half a 1000000 deaths from covert 19 by far the highest toll in the world flags at half staff and President Joe Biden has commemorated the victims with a moment of silence. Bells have been told in 500 times in washington d. C. In memory of those killed during that act its been a little over a year since america recorded its 1st deaths from the disease. Which Prime Minister barak johnsons laid out his plan to lift pandemic restrictions schools are due to reopen and 2 people from separate households will be allowed to meet outside starting march 8th in england. The congolese government is blaming are wondering who to rebel group for an attack on a u. N. Convoy that killed the italian. Bodyguard and driver were also killed in the ambush in the eastern democratic republic of congo italys president has condemned the attack as cowardly catherine sword. Who are on a mission to ritu in loft cuple province to visit a School Feeding program one of the many World Food Programme projects supports in the democratic republic of congo the journey ended here in the Virunga National park several kilometers from the provincial capital goma they talian ambassador his bodyguard and their driver were killed in a crossfire between park rangers and gunmen during the numbers on that convoy several other people injured. We are activating all the relevant institutions to get to the truth soon as possible about this cowardly attack that these 2 servants of the state of have suffered from and lost their lives. But beyond the shock of what has happened questions will be asked as to why the convoy did not have a un National Police or army s caught in such a dangerous area the authorities in north keep saying they were not aware embassador was in town he ses it had been cleared to use that tool without escorts the location of this attack is almost exactly the same place where to practice 1st look at may 2018 so its kind of real evidence of this long standing security lapse in the region it was also very close to where 6 were in the guards were killed in last month this is a fast major attack on a big u. N. Organization like that. But the park is steaming with rebels who target game ranges civilians and other n. G. O. S convoys to steal kidnap and demand ransom the security problem however goes beyond this part of north kivu war than 70 rebel groups control much of eastern democratic republic of congo extorting villages and attacking their homes. Atwill in beni north of many thousands of people including u. N. And government soldiers have been killed and more displaced by the allied Democratic Forces rebel groups hundreds of thousands of soldiers are on the ground battling different armed groups but with limited success were looking in a kind of long standing funding issue for the for the Congolese Army in that area a lack of kind of security planning as well as strategy when it comes to trying to combat the armed groups who operate in that area. Obviously the u. N. Peacekeeping force that has been operational for a good number of years has a lot to answer for with regards to insecurity in that area many congolese in this area live in constant fear hoping but not confident the forces that have struggled to defeat the rebels feel yes will one day succeed catherine soy aljazeera irans Supreme Leader has warned it could boost your rhenium enrichment up to 60 percent and says to her and will never yield to u. S. Pressure over its Nuclear Development ayatollah ali harmonys comments follow a new agreement with the uns Nuclear Watchdog it allows inspectors to continue monitoring tech crunchs Nuclear Facilities for up to 3 months but access will be reduced and there will be no more snap inspections to irans been gradually breaching the terms of the 250 nuclear deal since the us withdrawal withdrew to reimpose sanctions in 2018 said very has more on the reaction from tehran. Parliamentarians today were discussing the budget but they stopped that to vote on this latest deal between iran and the i. A. E. A. That many of them believe that thats in breach of the legislation that the parliament passed last year and they referred the matter specifically president Hassan Rouhani to the judiciary day believe that hes acted illegally that this deal is against the legislation many of them have said that this deal between the i. A. E. A. And iran has violated the rights of the iranian people others have said that its against the spirit of the legislation well so theres of saying that the number of inspectors i. A. E. A. Inspectors and inspections remains the same now what this demonstrates is that the difficulty that president Hassan Rouhani faces domestically this is a parliament that was voted in last year many of those people in the parliament are opposed to the 2015 nuclear deal and want to talk for a stance against the United States and the i. A. E. A. On the other hand president Hassan Rouhani is trying not to completely shut the door in terms of discussions and negotiations with the United States and the european 3 france germany and the u. K. Ok lets bring in twitter posse his executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute think tank hes also professor of middle east politics at Georgetown University hes joining us by skype from washington d. C. Good to have you with us on aljazeera thanks very much indeed thank you and with us i want to ask you 1st of all about these comments by harmony one can imagine that this Strong Language could be used ahead of negotiations ahead of talks to set out a negotiating position to get some leverage putting that to one side domestically how is this going to play out given the fact that were talking about president ial elections in iran in june. I think the way to understand what those comments mentioned the primary audience for them is that as the raw onions are making an agreement with the i. A. E. A. As and as your package reported which a large part of the Iranian Parliament opposes and believes is in the violation of the law that the parliament passed at the same time as Supreme Leader khamenei then makes a statement about potentially going up to 60 percent i would read that as an effort to try to appease those hardliners and calm them down for doing them a bone mindful of the fact that khomeini is greenlighting the agreement with the i. A. E. A. Which the parliament is upset about but as your package pointed out it is an increasingly tense situation domestically in iran in which disagreement with the idea of continuing to collaborate with the eye when the United States still remains outside of the nuclear deal is becoming increasingly difficult if i understand it correctly haas on a honey cant stand again because hes had 2 terms in office and if the hard line conservatives in iran do get in june what is the likelihood do you think that any sort of agreement any even understanding that is reached between iran and the group of 5 plus United States say about the in the Nuclear Situation in iran would actually hold through those june elections and would actually mean anything after that. I think if the agreement is revived by the United States coming into compliance because the us is that party that is outside of it m. And m. President biden as much as i change he is committed to coming back she is still not reversed trumps maximum pressure strategy but if that were to happen i think they could have an impact on the iranian elections and they could boost those who still believe that there is some utility and negotiating and collaborating with the west but more older it is creating all the more urgency for doing so because if its not done now then the west will be forced to negotiate with the next year army and conservative president most likely and that conservative president is most likely going to run on a platform very much like trump did in 2016 opposing the j. C. T. And thats going to make does all ready difficult puzzle even more difficult to resolve so theres a tremendous degree of urgency that needs to be injected into this situation and getting some diplomatic Movement Much faster than what we have seen so far when the Top Administration was in office there were reports of pro trump. Sentiments if you like from some iranian academics some former officials because they were true support in support of the drums unspoken regime change policy if you like towards iran whats the pressure that the government is feeling at the moment from the people in iran. Well theyre feeling pressure from the people for numerous reasons 1st of all because of the regimes own social repression because of the regime is political repression and corruption which has made big anomic situation very vulnerable to sanctions then you have the sanctions coming in from the United States on the tropical stray ship that have been absolutely devastating to the public and on top of that you had the expectation the very understandable expectation that things were going to get much better because a nuclear deal was struck and the iranians were living up to it then trump cards and this expectation is completely shattered so beyond a very bad economic and political situation you also have that huge disparity between where people expected to be today and where actually are as always good to get your thoughts on this trita parsi we appreciate it thank you very much indeed thank pakistans Prime Minister will begin a 2 day visit to sri lanka on tuesday the 2 countries are expected to sign multiple it can all agree months but sri lankas Muslim Minority has high hopes for a different reason but all from london supports sri lanka inputs more than half of its onions and the dangers from pakistan they are part of the range of food items including bassinet the rice and mandarins that are brought in from pakistani ports of the up a market to go to the pakistan is a big help to our market we can get what we need quickly and easily and at a good price driven commissary media focus of Prime Minister iran can visit to colombo thats not all hes been urged to discuss sri lankas minority regime community has complained of being marginalized in recent years it seems cool that 19 has made things much worse with the government forcibly committing all victims disregarding its a practice for between the slum. Prime minister khan who is portrayed as a champion of islamic rights has been asked to help in the practice when communities members politician Civil Society big games themselves have appealed to muslim countries including pakistan. So in that context hes. Very critical of khans visit comes as the un human rights chief presents a highly critical report on sri lanka it highlights the countrys failure to ensure justice and accountability 12 years after the bloody end of the civil war between Government Troops and the tamil tigers officials here were hoping that Prime Minister imraan khan would help rally support against any critical resolution at the un in geneva but the government forced cremation policy of covert 19 victims which has angered its Muslim Population could make that support unlikely in a banana just out of the euro colombo.

Aviation experts blame hollow engine blades that apparently broke off and started the fire it not only blew through the case and blew through the callon but actually penetrated the fuselage damaging the fuselage the wing and blowing out a window causing a deep pressurization that led boeing managers in chicago to call for the global grounding of a limited number of 770 sevens that had been flying only from the u. S. Japan and south korea the u. S. Federal Aviation Administration is now investigating whether the fan blades failed because they were damaged and that damage went undetected in routine inspection or whether there was a manufacturing flaw that led to the explosion that could mean wider problems. Analysts say this engine failure is less catastrophic for boeing than the Flight Control problems found to have caused 2 crashes that killed 346 passengers and grounded then brand new 737 max aircraft for nearly 2 years its just now returning to service this is the kind of thing which happens from time to time with highly stressed modern machinery a full which hadnt been detected before suddenly makes itself known and everything is frozen for a while while an inspection takes place to try and correct this is not a total systemic fault like the max problem was still after the grounding of a max plane that was expected to be the companys most lucrative and a pandemic which kept millions of passengers on the ground the 770. 00 sevens problems mark another black eye for an already battered company john hendren aljazeera chicago.
