On t. W. And on mine. This is it really was a lawyer from berlin the worlds Nuclear Watchdog confirms that iran has upped its enrichment of uranium to iran says it surpassing women stipulated in the 2015 nuclear deal after losing faith in the signatories to stop the u. S. Sanctions also coming up ukraines president of lot of years olinsky hosts e. U. Leaders for the 1st time in kiev to discuss the conflicts in the eastern part of the country. Very warm welcome to the show everyone the United NationsNuclear Agency says it has verified that iran has breached Uranium Enrichment level set down in the 2015 nuclear deal on the European Union says it is extremely concerned by terence actions and has urged the country to reverse course on monday iran announced it had broken the richmond limit tehran once more european support in the face of tougher u. S. Sanctions. And u. S. Vice president mike pence has just been talking about these developments take a listen. Iran should not confuse american restraint with a lack of american results. We hope that the United States of america and our military are prepared to protect our interests and protect our
personnel and our citizens in the region we will continue to oppose a rands malign influence we will continue to bring pressure on their economy and under President Donald Trump america will never allow iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. Vice president pence there speaking a short time ago lets get some analysis for you now im joined by Our Washington correspondent Helena Humphrey who is tracking the story very closely for you good to see you helena we just heard from u. S. Vice president pence he says iran should not confuse american restraint with a lack of american resolve but that begs the question i mean just a couple of weeks ago President Trump canceled a strike on iran at the very last minute i wondering is there a split within the white house when it comes to how to deal with iran. They are i think what were witnessing all the unfolding ramifications of a president who may have boxed himself into a corner because we know that President Trump says that he is opposed to Military Conflict at the same time we just heard from Vice President mike pence then in his address he was expected to say and journalists received that speech where the lines say that washington now extends an invitation to tehran for talks however the last minute he did not deliver that line so of course that begs the question what is next and could it be that iran has taken a leaf out of the north korean playbook for example a country which doesnt have economic might on the walls stage as is the case with the wrong jus to those choking economic sanctions but nevertheless is increasing the prospect of Nuclear Capability and with north korea we saw that that was enough to see President Trump quite literally step foot into that country so who is going
to blink 1st that is the question of time of course when those economic sanctions are hurting the iranian economy very badly indeed and now lets focus on this recent development now the u. N. Nuclear watchdog has confirmed that iran is enriching uranium beyond the permitted limits set by that to nuclear deal how has washington reacted to that development. I think its fair to say later with concern and that is not just within the administration now what we are currently seeing is just under 5 percent levels of Uranium Enrichment that is just a few inches closer to having Nuclear Capability what you would need to see is 90 percent Uranium Enrichment for really having a Weapons Grade Level there nevertheless iran has threatened incremental. Being all that percentage every 60 days and were we to then reach for example 20
percent i think thats when there would be a lot more alarm because then wed be at a level prior to the 2015 nuclear deal itself right to hell in a home for Our Washington correspondent thank you for your coverage. Lets bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. New york prosecutors have charged billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein with Sex TraffickingAuthorities Say exploited and abused dozens of girls as young as 14 well abstain has long been a high Profile Figure who has been linked to u.

I would like to turn our attention now to ukraine where in you we are is have been meeting with the countrys president of lot of years olinsky and kiev was once he along with e. U. Council president to skin algo in European Commission president junko jugar have been discussing the conflict in the eastern part of the country fighting there has been grinding on for more than 5 years and so on ski said ukraine was moving towards a sustainable ceasefire with russia which is backing separatist rebels in the east while the ukrainian president also made a personal Video Message to his russian counterpart. I would like to address the
president of the russian federation. We need to talk yes we do lets do it cheek lets discuss who crimea belongs to and who isnt present in donbass i suggest the following leaders be president of the talks. You u. S. President donald trump and british Prime Minister theresa may german chancellor Angela Merkel and french president Emmanuel Mccall as for the place i think Alexander Lukashenko will be happy to host us in minsk means money we are not changing or dismissing any diplomatic formats mikey just before a month we are offering to talk. Since we need to talk right now lets find out how that has gone down our correspondent nic ali joins us now from kiev where that meeting between the e. U. And the ukraines new government is currently taking place nick open invitation extended there by president lenski is that an olive branch how serious should we
take this. Well that was quite something wasnt it do we need a lens is that an olive branch how serious should we take this. That was quite something wasnt it do we need to talk yes we do i think if you look beyond that headline and he certainly has a talent for the political sound but it is a lot less. Extraordinary than it might seem this isnt about 1. 00 to 1. 00 talks he still wants western leaders to be there including President Trump and hes also not giving up on all the peace processes that have been underway for the last few years that hes for him is really about talking to his home audience to his voters who are parliamentary election here in a couple weeks time reminding them telling them that he is willing to do everything it takes to reach peace even if that means including throwing out all the stuffy diplomatic protocol but definitely this part of the world on the internet. That
sound bites do we need to talk yes we do that really is doing the rounds and lets keep proving again that he is really someone who can capture imaginations right and do it by doing something unconventional what can the people in Eastern Ukraine now expect from todays talks happening. But we werent really expecting any big breakthrough we didnt expect the europeans to have some grand bargain in their luggage when they came to kiev this was about getting to know who has after all only been in office for less than 2 months he even took the European Council president with him on a trip to the east of the country yesterday took him to a place called. For the 1st time in years the Ukrainian Army and the separatist forces have been able to agree to pull back their front line positions if you can ease tensions that way this is a place where thousands of people have to cross the front line every day across the
ruined bridge that hasnt been repaired in years selenski today at the Press Conference gave the separatists a weeks deadline he said if they didnt get going he would rebuild that bridge unilaterally we were there and its in the last week to have a look at how its impacting ordinary people lets have a look. 4 years have passed since this bridge was destroyed in fighting and the people its a need still clambering over its makeshift Replacement Thousands of them every day the separatists say they want the bridge rebuilt as it was wide enough for a tank to pass the Ukrainian Army counters insisting instead on a narrow replacement. Nina is one of the civilians living with the consequences of their failure to agree she and her husband anatoly live in separate is controlled territory but her pension and the Medicines Nina Depends On can only be connected from the Government Health side so once
a month they cross the front line each visit is an ordeal. I was scared all the time on the bridge what would have happened if someone had tripped while carrying me or you i had to take a tranquilizer but video more we should finish with. Nina didnt get a chance to elect ukraines president to vote she would have had to make several additional trips across the front line but she couldnt be happier with the result. Be given to a good people of the people are impatient we were waiting for the elections our hopes were so high i cried when i saw zilinskas inauguration i just want this all to end as soon as possible and for peace to return. Mino was a baker until a failed operation put her in a wheelchair she now receives a Pension Worth approximately 50 words half of which she spends on nappies and drugs she called back home in the separatist controlled side. Its over 30 degrees and most people here have to wait several hours just to parse the ukrainian check for. Fatalities and the rarity of these cures as the stress and the heat take their toll on the old and the sick. Or being in a wheelchair i mean it gets priority. But when we leave the ruined bridge still lies ahead of us. From the beginning ordinary people have had enough of this war and were all just grieving for the normal life we had before this couple not of my nation is new. Nick so important not to lose sight of what this conflict means for ordinary people what is there a new offering to help resolve the conflict in Eastern Ukraine. Well 2 things like money and sanctions continued Financial Support for ukraine and
continued sanctions on russia over its an accession of crimea and its support of the separatists dont buy us theres been a real worry here in ukraine the last few months that there is increasing ukraine fatigue in europe as it were the people off to 5 years. Of supporting ukraine tired of the sanctions against russia and that politicians in Western Europe particularly in a hurry to basically sell ukraine down the river and make up with the kremlin without the kremlin having to do anything for that so really. Was really needing to hear continued support for the sanctions and he got that from donald so really the europeans coming up with the goods but. Lets be clear that this is not a conflict that will be resolved in any other way but through diplomacy with the sanctions as the kind of extra factor that will really bring russia to the Negotiating Table Right nick calio reporting from kiev ukraine thank you for your
