this is al jazeera america. tonight as iran publicly commits to the framework of a nuclear nonproliferation agreement members of congress are pushing back against the deal. facing a june 30th deadline to work out the final deal, as mike viqueria it will be a long three months of negotiations for the white house. >> organic antonio. it is the day after the deal and the president has been on the phone trying to drum up support and head off critics as the diplomatic battle looms both at home and broad. >> white house spokesman josh earnest says the white house is under no illusion. >> we don't trust iran. for audit now decades now iran has tried to evade the inspectors. >> running both ways, key points announced 50 administration have

not been publicly confirmed by iran like how much low enriched uranium. iran will be able to keep. iran wants a quick boost to its ailing economy. the white white house says easing of sanctions will come step by step. >> we expect the suspension piece to generally happen within the first year. but if iran takes the steps more quickly the suspension could come more quickly. >> reporter: the white house must balance its commitments with iran with the politics of congress. where there's talk of more sanctions not less. the white house is threatening a veto. >> if we were to put in place additional sanctions against iran it would cause our international faction so fracture. >> to sell the deal as an historic break through at least one key ally, israeli prime

minister benjamin netanyahu is not buying it. >> some say that the only alternative to this bad deal is war. that's not true. there's a third alternative: standing firm, increasing the pressure on iran, until a good deal is achieved. >> reporter: in announcing the accord president obama said this could be the moment iran turns the page. >> it demonstrates that if iran complies with its international obligations then it can fully rejoin the community of nations. thereby fulfilling the extraordinary talent and aspirations of the iranian people. >> but talk about an assent to iran makes the arab nations nervous. secretary of state john kerry and the president were on the phone with the united states allies. they see a politically recharged iran a threat to their security. >> it's going to take more than a meeting to assure them things

are not going to change and that iran is going to stop and change its behavior especially meddling in arab affairs. >> reporter: and antonio israel's right to exist on friday the state department says that was purposefully kept out. this deal is only about the nuclear issue. antonio. >> mike viqueria, in washington. how does this obama administration go about selling this agreement in the united states? we'll get into that with our political contributor michael shure in just a few minutes. two saudi soldiers have been killed along the border in the fight at aden. some troops have been pulled back from the positions they captured yesterday.

omar al sallyh reports. >> we are the southern resistance in aden and we are conare fronting the houthis. we encourage parachuting to the ground because the strikes from the air and sea will not be enough. there are people here under death and families under siege we can't get to them. >> reporter: despite the ninth day of the saudi led aerial campaign, the forces of former president ali abdullah saleh are resolute. showing boxes and weapons dropped by the saudi led coalition jets to the forces back president hadi in aden. meanwhile the so-called popular committees loyal to president hadi are also engaged in street

battles in the city. can coalition jets bombed houthi forces ins in and around the airport to leave the presidential palace a day after they captured it. >> this is just only a gimmick because they can't keep that. they were just on the top of the mountains and last night they had a very hard beating and i'm sure they would be on the run but they are effectively besieged. aden is a peninsula. tops of the hills where they are remaining there. >> the fight for yemen could be a long one and the number of casualties continues to grow. the u.n. says it is concerned. >> i call on all parties involved to meet their obligations under international law and do their utmost to protect the ordinary women children and men. reports from humanitarian partners in different parts of the country indicate that some 519 people have been killed and

nearly 1700 injured. >> reporter: china has sent one of its naval ships to aden to evacuate 225 chinese and foreign nationals. but millions of yemenis remain stranded. omar al saleh al jazeera. >> officials describe men as blood thirsty armed and dangerous. they say the suspects are linked to yesterday's massacre at a university that left 150 dead including four attackers. katherine soy reports. >> reporter: families in mourning. their loved ones were unexpectedly and brutally taken away. this truck has been used all days to take bodies from the university to the mortuary. at this military camp we find survivors. tired, traumatized and some like

this student with gunshot wounds. christine onango is packed and ready to be evacuated. she had everything. >> they were telling the lady to move out those who failed to obey that will be banned. you know what they did they moved out they were just surrendering they were holding up their hands. >> the men were treated more harshly. >> arguing please don't kill me don't do this. they were just slaughtering them. >> and she hopes this is the last time she sees gair garrissa. >> police and the military continue to gather crucial evidence. >> those who are being rescued are being bussed back to their homes. political leaders and security chiefs have arrived in the town

and are promising security will be improved. >> and we want to make sure that their plan does not fall into place. in order to do that, we have to recognize that it's no more business as usual. >> but those who leave here have had all this before. >> the script is the same, an attack happens. we are reassured of security. surety be beefed up. some high profile come from nairobi, they land a few minutes and they go back. only for this to happen a few days later . >> al shabaab fighters promising another fantastic attack, like the nairobi westgate siege in 2013 on thursday in garrissa, they lived up to that promise. katherine soy, al jazeera

garrissa northern kenya. >> the fbi says thomas who goes by the flame young lioness on at which timer planned to martyr herself on behalf of the group. investigators tracked her electronic activity for two years, they tracked her tweets and knew she was in touch with a i.s.i.l. fighter. six who hid in the pairs bakery, sued journalists for reporting their whereabouts. the paris prosecutor's office has opened a preliminary investigation into the matter. more disturbing details are emerging about the germanwings plane that crashed last week. today investigators say the

co-pilot andreas lubitz actually accelerated the aircraft during its descent. this supports the theory that he intentionally crashed the plane into the french alps. this comes from the initial reading of the plane's data recorder. all 150 were killed. job creation streak has come to an end. employers in the u.s. only added 126,000 jobs in march a sharp reduction from almost 270,000. john terret is here with one worrisome report. >> one swallow does not make a summer, but we'll see how this goes. antonio, the number was very much lower than what the economists were hoping to see. the bad news didn't end.

gains from earlier this year were marked down too. winter weather's no good for creating new jobs. country wide bad weather this winter is a key reason fewer jobs were created in march. factories were hit hard by the deep freeze losing about a thousand jobs after getting on to two years of hiring. construction lost similar restaurant hiring was lean and heavy duty jobs like mining and oil drilling slipped by around 11,000. overall the u.s. economy added 126,000 jobs in march but in the previous 12 months the gains have been around 200,000 a month. the unemployment rate remained steady at 5.5%. despite the downturn in job growth the white house told al jazeera this morning they're not discouraged by the numbers. >> we don't get too depressed every tie up we time we have a jobs report that doesn't meet expectations. these indicate that we can have a lot of confidence in the american economy.

>> reporter: president says parts of the globe have seen parts of their economies weaken particularly in europe and asia and that's not helpful here. >> that's why we have to redouble our efforts to make sure we're competitive and we're doing the steps we need to make sure we're successful. >> reporter: obama was at hill air force in utah, where he announced a pilot program to install soorl panels by 2020. job statistics for january and february were revised down by 69,000. wage growth is limited and any benefit from cheap gas and the recent job gains have yet to be found in the economy. good news that the markets were closed for good friday. likely feel the heat on monday when investors return. indeed. and the monthly jobs report is the single most important report on the economy that we get each

month. and the anticipated and actual number barring a miracle there's liable to be a lot of red ink on wall street on monday. >> thank you john. in kentucky, a moct and child remain missing -- a mother and child remain missing. emergency crews had to make over 160 rest accuse in the area, one man was killed when a tree branch fell on him. tornado watches remain in effect tonight for parts of that state along with virginia and tnlz. tennessee. also in kentucky, investigators are trying to find what caused a huge fire, building known as appliance park is mainly used for offices and storages. the facility was evacuated there were no injuries. getting a hand on iran's nuclear program may have been the easy part, the politics of a

deal next. also five years after an explosion killed 29 miners in west virginia the man in charge of the mine is about to go on trial. trial.

>> returning to our top story world leaders have until june 30th to work outs deals to limit iran's nuclear capabilities. but not convinced that's the best option. the white house is hoping the framework agreement will slow the momentum behind a pending bill that would add more sanctions on iran. support of the bill though may be only one vote shy of a veto proof vote. michael shure good to see you. this could be a real problem for the president and the agreement. because any sanctions could certainlyscuttle any chances for the

deal to be done. >> right now it's very early. i think when you look at the public reaction to this deal and the idea of finally seeing diplomacy work, i think a lot of people are saying hey let's give this a chance. what you're running into that one-vote-shy part antonio is a really important part here. especially with robert menendez, the ranking member of the senate foreign services committee under indictment, i think we'll have to see how congress takes the temperature of the country probably over this easter weekend into the next week before we know what senators and congress people are going to say, maybe we should give this a chance or absolutely not. >> the president has tried to play opponents of the deal as

war mongers but is that going to fly? you know that chuck schumer who is likely to be the nest next leader of the senate is also arguing the deal. >> proven themselves to be very good at and whenever a democratic someone in democratic leadership tries to do it, it often falls flat. right now the president has to make a distinction that he's not making between people who support this and people who don't. the warmonger is is not someone like lindsay graham who says this is our only way out first he's saying i may run for president and he's also saying, i think we should look at the these sanctions and use diplomacy but while sanction he are in place. that seems to be a place the republicans are willing to go. >> could this be a problem for republicans, an abc washington post pole found that 59% of americans support a deal with

iran and even among republicans more support it than don't. >> that is going to be a problem. look we're going into an election season already earlier than we do, looks like we just got last november's results a half hour ago. but antonio you're right we have combat fatigue at this point americans have it poll after poll that doesn't play well for republicans. graham is saying combat is not the only other option, diplomacy from another place is the tactic that will work best for republicans. >> finally being portrayed as too desperate for a deal because he wants to burnish his foreign policy legacy. any deal with iran would guarantee that the iranians would have no capability to enrich uranium. is this going to feed again into the narrative that the president promises one thing and delivers another? >> well you go back to 2007 when the president was running was a

senator at that time saying he would negotiate with no preconditions and chirlt hillary clinton called him naive to do that. whether iran sounds a lot more dispris to dodesperate to do something than they were before. that john kerry was able to negotiate, i think that there's a lot of play here it's not just the president trying to burnish his image as a foreign policy success but more about saying hey listen i've stayed the course and let me keep doing it. i think he's pressing the congress to do this. everyone in the white house has been calling so there's a lot to look forward to for the president. >> michael shure thanks. >> thank you. >> gun activist sarah brady has died. she was the wife of james brady

the bradies fought to retentionen the nation's gun laws and were the driving force behind the 1983 brady handgun prevention act. she died of pneumonia she was 73. five years has passed, since the worst mine disaster, five years later the victims families are still looking for answers and perhaps more important justice. lisa stark has the story. >> tommy davis comes here nearly every day to the hillary top cemetery where his first born son cory is buried. >> you like coming up here? >> yes i feel like i'm closer to him than anywhere. >> cory was just 20 when he lost his life in the mine explosion. the youngest to die. tommy managed to get out alive that day but what he suffered is

almost unimaginable. he also lost his brother and nephew in the disaster. 5 years later his grief remains overwhelming. >> our days now is pretty much like it is. what you feel because you can't forget it. it just keeps coming and coming and coming. it's never ending until that day we meet again. >> investigators determined a spark from a coal-cutting machine ignited methane gas. that small fire touched off a massive coal dust explosion. the upper big branch mine was owned by massey energy and had racked up more than 500 federal safety violations the year before the explosion. federal investigators blamed the blast on a quote series of basic safety violations and found massey valued production over safety. families over of the 29 miners who are memorialized here outside

the mine's entrance, now many thought never happened, the former ceo goes on trial. former ceo don blankenship faces five violations including violation of safety rules. >> he knows everything that went over there but for him to not be the man he was supposed to be, push the button, say stop, let this mine be safe, he let those men die this day. >> in a youtube documentary he funded he painted himself as a mine safety engineer and he blamed the tragedy on national gas explosion. >> for one i know that not having accidents is very profitable. even for those who think very badly much me who think i'm

solely focused on profit, i know that profit can only be derived from safe coal mines. >> reporter: the upper big branch mine never reopened. massey energy was bought out by another firm which closed the mine but there's no closure for the families. >> i go to the graveyard. i sit in front of the teardrop and i talk to him say daddy's still fighting for you boy and i'll continue to until i think justice has been served. >> reporter: lz, al jazeera near whites vil, west virginia. >> a reminder, all this month we are looking at our fragile planet from the drought in california to the melting ice sheets in antarctic. a deeper look, tomorrow 8:00 p.m. eastern 5:00 p.m. pacific.
