you know the fact that we have the you know these big multinational. you know. kind of. panels to kind of try to rectify these issues and you get buy in from a variety of countries means that at least they're listening whether they actually you know so the climate accord the you know had almost a global buy in to try to solve the climate change crisis now granted the united states has pulled out but initially it was part of the signatories in so i think i think these issues have the ear of the developing countries but executing it is where we're falling short and and ultimately you know it's just and it's a really tough issue and i cannot provide the answer to that question is just it's a really complicated question it is a very complicated issue jolene's i want to bring you in into something how do you

sell this may have been this into very powerful arguments from the three of you it seems to make sense to certainly anybody who's concerned about environmental issues but how do you sell this to governments i think that there's there is already some enthusiasm in our government or protecting the environment and stopping climate change there's talk of this renewed you know and so it's clearly the the u.s. government is not monolithic and is not monolithically opposed to the pirates climate change agreement a cold they did do that it yeah i mean yes i mean i mean when obama was president he was one of the people that was you know pushing for that and and we have a stance that we pulled out but you know that's doesn't have to stay that way. teasin hamburg let me bring you in here organizations such as yours the ones of highlighting climate change often times you have been accused of scamming or.

rather than providing solutions is it time for a tactical change for organizations like yours in the light of this biodiversity report and the fact that we may lose a million species so it's time to change your message you need to provide solutions and give some hope to people. we have to provide solutions as well and we have done so and we were doing more in the future but we also of course a lot of the problem and report like this helps a lot that. just to give you one example if you read the report you see how the destruction of ecosystems creates muscle in the fields and is driving a runaway climate change and climate change in turn this one of the major threats so ecosystems and and nature and species so they are an ink and in a double way and at the same time there is also the positive and the solution the

very moment we stop to destroy ecosystems and every store and cons are some better particularly forests but also lens and coastal marine area us to name a few we can make a massive contribution to reducing emissions and increase the carbon dioxide. so that can be. a part of off total climate change mitigation through those kind of nature based climate mitigation solutions so their use of because of the strong link between both of us needs on one side and walk climate on the other side there is ample off room for solutions and those. odds saw include modern high technology and innovation we can do so much better

in using less water. and a better way of using. it's. in a more efficient way we can deal with our forests much better we can lock in a more clever. way and let the ecosystem grohl ins and. so it goes and we are running out of the time not a minute said the other going to cut you off but we are running out of time now you want to get to our other guests as well just very quickly i'm going to all sr all three of you starting with you bret in gainesville is it too late or can we change yes or no oh absolutely yeah no i do i. we can absolutely change and i think there's a lot of. there's lots of signs that we're moving in the right direction and so i do think there is hope don't winsor take something that yes or no

yes yes we can absolutely and i think actually a lot of the attention that this u.n. report has gotten is getting is a great sign it's been big news and i think i think maybe i hope that it will be chipping and that people are people and governments will start to change and will start to do something about this problem crystal taze you heard there from the scientists they say we can change do you believe the world can change i believe the world can change you can do that very quickly you look at our forests and oceans and other lands much better and that can have a very brief effect on. slowing divided us. and also the rate of climate change i want to thank you all clearly there's a lot to talk about but we're not all doomed according to our gas crystal t.'s john ways and brush as and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story and you can also join the conversation on twitter handle is at a.j.

nuclear deal today it's a new stuff. for the j. c.p.o. way and is within the framework of the j c p a way the deal has given us this right that if the other party violates its commitments we can raise it in the joint commission in a scheduled time and that timing was passed we had meetings at the level of deputy ministers and foreign ministers europeans and our friends several times emphasized that they would hump and say that somehow but practically they didn't meet their commitment so some of the remaining countries in the twenty fifteen agreement have reacted to harneys and nonsense france or an iran that more sanctions could be reimposed if it fails to keep its commitment to the deal that is restarting high level production if it's enriched uranium and china's foreign ministry says all parties of the agreement are responsible to make sure the twenty fifteen deal is fully implemented let's get more on this. first zain talk us

through the most important and significant points made by rouhani. well one of the most important parts of the deal was limiting the amount of nuclear material that iran was allowed to stockpile at the time the deal was negotiated by the americans and other parties there was a level of distrust in iran iraq nobody was taking iran at their word when the country said that it did not want to pursue a nuclear weapon this deal was designed to limit the amount of material that iran might have to be able to pursue a nuclear weapon if it ever decided to it was a breakout period a so-called breakout period it reduced iran's capacity to be able to produce a weapon for a months two at least a year or more now a nuclear nuclear sanctions that the united states passed a few days ago the same time that oil sanctions waivers expired sort of binded iran's hands the stockpile capacity that iran had that it would remove its

stockpile of in which rainy and. to russia to remove its stockpile of heavy water to oman and what american sanctions effectively did was stop that from being possible forcing iran to either violate the deal or lessen its commitments as it's done or slow down its nuclear program so what this move is done today what rouhani presents and rouhani has announced is that iran will no longer abide by those stockpiles limits and will increase the production of its stockpile if you go beyond that simply not being able to move that stockpile anywhere else and what what we've heard just a little while ago from the head of iran's atomic energy agency reinforcing rouhani is comments was he came out and he said that iran has fulfilled its duties within the twenty fifteen nuclear deal that the u.n. nuclear watchdog the i.a.e.a. has verified that fourteen times and he said that iran in having fulfilled its

duties had the right to pursue its national priorities its rights as well and he suggested that there was a sense of buyer's remorse when it comes to the united states and. the joint comprehensive plan of action the nuclear deal saying that anything that iran did in terms of its missile defense or its national priorities being used as a reason to undo. the american commitment to the deal is ostensibly unfair it has nothing to do with the nuclear deal itself that the united states as a signatory to the deal as a founding member of the united nations should abide by a deal that was that was negotiated under the u.n. umbrella and then domestically how much pressure was the leadership in iran under or to respond to the u.s. attempts to sort of strangle hold the iranian economy. well that's certainly been a balancing act for this administration last year this time last year when the u.s.

pulled out of the deal in the months before it when the white house with us president donald trump had been hammering on the deal when it been carrying out what iran called has called economic terrorism against iran since then there was a great deal of pressure on the civilian elected leadership both presidents and rouhani foreign minister zarif for not seeing it coming for negotiating with the americans in the first place so there was a great deal of of unpopularity not just for the deal itself but for the people who go she added since then since the american aggressive steps that have specifically targeted iran civilian population the visa ban for instance i think iranians have come to understand that their leaders are only doing everything they could that america's aggressive stance against them has simply been america's aggressive stance against them that no one could have seen it coming perhaps and if anything the american moves against this government in iran has only pushed public sentiment

in favor of the hardliners of the hard line elements of the iranian political structure and if they are the ones to replace president hassan rouhani who is largely reformist who is relatively moderate then in the united states might find itself facing an iranian government in the next election cycle that is much more difficult to negotiate that will react much more quickly to america's aggressive moves against them ok as even an update from to thank you. and earlier the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei i made an unannounced visit to iraq he met the prime minister and voiced concerns about iran's influence in the region the u.s. which has thousands of troops in iraq has deployed more warships to the area and response to what it says is a threat posed by. i think for. a

minute. voters in south africa are casting their ballots in national elections the governing african national congress is expected to win but by a smaller margin it's been hit by a series of corruption scandals in recent years and accusations it's failed to provide basic services the opposition leader musi my money from the democratic alliance party cast his votes as you can see right there at the polls opened in the township off so let's hope malcolm webb has more from a polling station in johannesburg. well we're in the township of alexandra in johannesburg where the housing in this area is quite small or import condition other people in this area live in shacks made of iron sheets it's high unemployment it's not a wealthy area to be in people at this polling station which is in a school since before the polls opened you can have

a little walk around historically there's been quite some enthusiasm for voting in south africa since it became a democracy in one thousand nine hundred four and one of the key reasons for that is the legacy of apartheid that came before it and the hard struggle that was fought over generations for people to have the right to vote many people were killed and democracy eventually came in one thousand nine hundred four and initially a very high voter turnout but that turned out it's been steadily decreasing ever since the a.n.c. is one every election all six of them but also its vote share has steadily decreased. please kill me past just to show people in the polling station thank you just take a look inside. one of the key reasons that the a.n.c. is vote share and the turnout was to create and series of corruption scandals of affected the ruling a.n.c. let's take a look around at the process that's going on here to see in this area alexandra

since the early two thousand there's been protests against full public service delivery and similar protests have been seen in soundstage all over the country. here and got xandra those protests stepped up just in the last month or so before the election. several policemen every polling station that we've been to there's also been a police helicopter circling above but no sign of any andress today on voting day itself everywhere in the country so far has been calm and peaceful. as you mentioned just before the african national congress is expected to win this election that's what opinion polls suggest but with a smaller margin than it's. before because the democratic alliance is not a steadily increasing vote for about the last ten years as an economic freedom fighters which was founded six years ago by former a.n.c. politicians who were pushed out of the a.n.c. they've risen quite rapidly at about six percent of the vote last time they used

their seats in parliament to disrupt proceedings to criticize the a.n.c. for corruption and to service delivery and they really change the course of south african politics afghanistan's capital has been hit by several explosions one of the top and close to the attorney general's office in downtown kabul and there are also reports of gunfire and a faction of the pakistani taliban has claimed responsibility for a bomb blast at a popular shrine in the city of lahore at least eight people including five police officers have been killed in that explosion darbar that's one of the country's oldest sufi shrines it was also targeted by suicide bombers and twenty time killing .
