the united nations has again called on both belarus and poland to address what it describes as the appalling situation of migrants on their joint border. hundreds of people mainly from iraq and syria, remains strand at their poland and the u. accused bell russian leader alexander lucas shanker. of encouraging them to travel to bella roost to try and gain entry into the european union. and the rooster nice that says that you is to blame for the humanitarian crisis. bella was sing authority, say almost 600 people remain at this warehouse on the beller or side of the border despite the cold weather and the terrible conditions. they swear they can't got home and they have to move forward to have a future work with all or none of it. yeah, we came here too close to europe. we want to go to germany. what lead to will but that path is blocked and many migrants say so too is the way back to minsk, the united nations human rights office accuses both poland and fellers of pushing migrants back and forth across the border. it refers to statements made by migrants interviewed by a u. n. team in early de

ah, but the united nations also had a message for the united states. it's calling on both sides to return to the deal. it's calling in the united states to come back to the deal. it was, after all the united states, back in 2018 under president trump, that reimpose sanctions on iran, and essentially broke the deal. they're also calling on the iranians to return to its commitments under the deal. and i want to stop and i returned to compliance about stopping to enrich uranium. and of course, that's the source of europeans concerned that iran is getting closer and closer to a nuclear weapon. and thank both sides claim that they want to return to the deal. and both sides, of course, blame each other for not being able to get there. you know, the united states ambassador linda thomas greenfield said that it the united states is prepared to, to lift those sanctions to go back to the deal as reliant songs are on. does it, it's part in returning to the dealer while around said look, it's your fault that we're here in the 1st place. our people are suffering, w
