next week we must not allow iran to obtain to obtain nuclear weapons the iranian regime supports terrorism and exports violence bloodshed and chaos across the middle east that is why we must put an end to iran's continued aggression and nuclear ambitions they have not lived up to the spirit of their agreement. practical way and as more now from washington. just saw twenty four hours ago secretary of defense jim mattis tell the u.s. congress that he thinks that it's in the u.s. national security interest to stay in the iran deal and at the time that many people thought he was speaking to an audience of one president donald trump but if you really look back in now with this reporting that president may have found what he sees as a loophole where he can decertify but the not push congress to reimpose sanctions satisfying his base mattis is a key voice he is respected on capitol hill and we are starting to see some

republicans especially within the leadership say basically it will quote the uses the toothpaste is always an already out of the bottle the money has been given to iran the sanctions have been lifted if they were to reimpose sanction they know the allies would blame them for and working away from the nuclear deal and it's not at all clear that the allies would follow suit and which would mean the same sions were somewhat toothless so it's not confirmed that the republicans will go along but it's also important to point out whenever things go in the congress anything could happen lobbying matters so you will be faced with a choice between the pro israeli government lobby and all of the allies and other countries like china and russia who said we signed this deal we're not renegotiating so there will be pressure on congress not to mention the fact that the trump administration cannot point to any evidence that iran isn't living up to their part of the deal the i.a.e.a. has said they're in one hundred percent compliance to get around that the trump administration keeps saying but the agreement said that iran would and this is important they say quote the deal they said positively contribute to regional and

international peace and security the deal does the agreement doesn't say that it doesn't say iran will contribute it says the agreement will contribute they can't quite square that peg when you ask them about it so there might have a shaky argument but if they do this that it goes to congress to decide if they scuttle the deal at least from a u.s. perspective. both sides in the war in yemen are being strongly criticized in the un's annual report on children and conflicts the coalition and to see rebels adjoint be accused of killing and maiming yemeni children although the u.n. also says coalition forces have taken action to improve child protection like hannah has more now from the u.n. headquarters in new york. the report focuses on children in conflict across the globe in countries ranging from afghanistan to colombia to syria mali myanmar and war the list itself showing how widespread the problem is of children caught up in

names of the perpetrators has been divided into two sections section a contains the names of nations and non-state actors guilty of acts against children but those that have been subsequently found to have attempted to improve the protection of children during the reporting period have been moved into section b. the saudi led military coalition is in this category along with the afghan national police and the somali national army this may not be enough to avert what is likely to be strong protest from the saudi government in coming hours. mike hanna. united nations will stay with us story tonight after years of fighting has devastated yemen millions of people are facing famine cholera and other diseases are spreading because hospitals and clinics have been destroyed here sin in kosovo . five hundred villagers live in now on the outskirts of

a mediator between shia sunni and kurd sort of the hamid essence of the many aware that funeral is taking place what was it about the man that allowed him to plot such a course through a very difficult time in the country. has been a very turbulent life. his career as a politician as a teenager. he was also fighting with political rivals because he was. something that. when he went. president. reserving.

the right. to the referendum that happened. here. secured their. building. for. a referendum the irony. here is wondering whether. the referendum actually wasn't good enough. the results of the. iraqi presidency. is largely seen as being in the main. but he was given the latitude he took the latitude to take

that. i think the correct description would be that he took i mean he had a personality larger than life he was very loud he was very bold and very outspoken and he had very good relationships with washington. after two thousand and three with the bush administration and then the obama administration even though at some point the obama administration had. a secular. politician here the obama administration wanting. at the time a prime minister maliki. elected for his second term time but as you said it was a ceremonial post. everyone who was in baghdad have contributed to the overthrow of. the coalition had played

a key role and certainly. played a key role in that so they had. every step of building. from the beginning from the interim government all the way to the passing of the constitution which really laid the past for the kurds ever since given where we are today with the aftermath of the kurdish referendum three percent people saying yes we want to secede he was clearly very good at building bridges is there anyone in the country who's got two books that skill set as he. well i don't think that's what people here and that's why they. you know back in two thousand and twelve he was interviewed and he said he wanted. that was. very look at the world it's all about.

look at the union at that time after two thousand and three he saw that actually it was more beneficial to remain. but today there's a very strong symbolism and i think that's where the divisions of two thousand and seven went to. the place it was. a former president thanks very much. still to come here on al-jazeera the fallout from catalonia secession referendum the head of the regional police appears before a judge in madrid. hello follows a formula one racing we already know its way in japan has sort of proof from the

back recapping your top stories so far today the nobel peace prize has been awarded to the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons the norwegian panel praised the group for working to prohibit the use of the weapons it comes amid tensions around north korea's nuclear program russia says it hopes the u.s. will make a balanced decision on whether to remain engaged in the landmark international deal to curb iran's nuclear aspirations president trump has accused iran of not living up to the spirit of the deal going back to twenty fifty. and iraqi kurds are delaying one of their most prominent leaders to arrest taliban was iraqi president from two thousand and five to twenty fourteen the eighty three year old was widely respected as a mediator between iraq shia sunni and kurdish communities. the associated

press is reporting that the u.s. military is stopping some joint exercises with its gulf allies over the ongoing diplomatic crisis targeting cata a u.s. central command spokesman has been quoted as saying we are opting out of some military exercises out of respect for the concept of inclusiveness and shared regional interests he goes on we will continue to encourage all partners to work together towards the sort of common solutions that enable security and stability in the region. as an associate analyst. institute of arab center and research and policy studies he says donald trump had thought he could solve the gulf crisis quickly. the position of the president has shifted throughout the crisis from the very beginning until now at the very beginning he was closer to the saudis and the monarchies considering this crisis and you remember his famous tweets at that time today i think he came to the conclusion actually that he's

having too many crisis in the korean peninsula he's having this crisis now developing evolving with iran we're still expecting the president today i mean to come up with an alice went on the nuclear deal with iran and we have also the war on. the crisis actually is. is another crisis for him which is which might actually harm but his force to deal with with all of these things so i think your. experience actually why he he came to the conclusion that if we solve this crisis. it would serve the interests of the united states and its efforts to deal with these issues. to europe now the parliament says it may meet on monday or tuesday and make a decision on secession from spain that is in defiance of a court injunction from madrid the speaker of council in his parliament says the central government has put freedom of expression in danger.

this is an act of extreme seriousness because it cut tails the freedom of expression of members of catalonia parliament this shows the total incapacity of the spanish government to resolve political problems in a political way we repeat what we've always said that we will not allow the parliament to be censored and meanwhile catalonia as police chief has walked free from court after attending a hearing in the spanish capital joseph luistro hero is accused of sedition along with three other suspects he's being blamed for failing to protect spanish national police from protesters before the secession referendum on sunday let's go live now to sonia gago who's in barcelona for so song of the meeting on monday or tuesday perhaps what are the chances do you think that they will say we declare independence. he said looking at the votes of the past twenty four hours and looking also especially important how the party of the president of egypt moment has been reacting to this it's looking less

and less likely people from his. ruling party coalition have said already this morning that perhaps now is not the time to be declaring independence of course what could be really pushing this on is still socio economic impact that has been occurring here in barcelona over the past twenty four hours two major cattle bikes who decided to move their legal h.q. outside of the region and into other parts of the country such as spade. i'd also another again on friday will. and you had a major cattle and company federation at a maker of sparkling wine here saying that it is considering also moving its legal h.q. outside as well and all of this of course without the support of the european union while the european union and commission have condemned the way that spanish police

force and civil guards used force on the illegal referendum on sunday there has been precious little support of full preaching wants vision and certainly the separatist vision for seceding there's been none whatsoever and also from other european leaders as well so perhaps all of this is really putting a lot of pressure on the capsule and government to reconsider whether this is really the right time to do this is the argument of this saying as well the economic implications would be frankly disastrous for the region as it would cause an enormous amount of instability but also a strain as well and of course the european union would have an enormous problem to deal with as well that forget of course there are other secessionist groups within europe in italy in belgium among others that are looking at this very closely the last thing that brussels wants to see is a triggering of other independent his movements they would by de facto if they were to seats casler catalonia would were to cede it would automatically be out of the

european union that's not something that they want to see here as well this region is very pro european union and they see themselves as being a definition of that as well but also it is very much a case of keeping the stability they don't want these debility spader's want to see it and brussels don't want to see instability i don't think you. cambodia's government has filed a lawsuit to dissolve the main opposition party cam saw the leader of the cambodian national rescue party was arrested and charged with treason last month the party says his detention is politically motivated critics say the prime minister hussein is cracking down on opponents before next year's election florence levy is following developments for us from kuala lumpur. cambodian government lawyers in their lawsuit filed on friday accused at the main opposition party can bodi a national rescue party of conspiring with foreigners to topple the government this attempt to disband the party comes about a month after the party's leader camp was arrested and charged with treason
