right. where ever you are. this is zero.

watching the news live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. on the move into syria in a new operation to enforce a truce in province. kurdish forces on high alert in northern iraq over what they say are possible threats from iraqi forces in kirkuk. more trouble ahead for jacob zuma south africa's top court topples a ruling to reinstate corruption charges against the president. also this. mother's agony and pain after watching me in marseille jews massacre her family. the turkish army says it's begun setting up observation posts in syria's province turkey has deployed its troops as part of

a deescalation deal with iran and russia it was announced that the soldiers would be advancing south to central italy to fight the armed group to sharm the several reports suggest they are actually moving east towards the town of shake at this puts them in close proximity to the areas controlled by kurdish forces in the north of the region. is that the jewel of the goes to border crossing on the turkey syria border for us hashem what are they trying to achieve here. peter hundred turkish soldiers who are now in syria are hoping to establish those surveillance supposed to be able to monitor the women's between the different factions operating in the syrian government and the russia's but now we don't know what will happen to the. russia and the many countries consider a terrorist organization to have said that we won't hand over these weapons and we

continue the fight to the now we know we do understand that the turkish military now is stationed in mind which is a village all the border with that's very close to a territory controlled by syrian kurdish factions particularly the wipe e.g. it could be a sign that the turkish military artemis goal here is to try to prevent the y. p.g. from expanding further to was northwest some provinces like and. but is this proposed deescalation is around to the south this surely means the deescalation zones not going to get off the ground on shared jewel when they wanted it. exactly for four different reasons head to head in a sham is very powerful he has many. very well trained fighters across the province of idlib now in theory all the countries that have agreed on the cease fire agreement russia and iran insist that they had to have. either pull out from.

their weapons we don't think this is going to be the case and we have to wait and see what the turkish media is going to deal with. are they going to engage militarily with a with the near future or work out a settlement where they can. free passes this is this is the big question about this whole operation what we know so far is that the turkish military is definitely now taken position in areas. opposite territory controlled by the white b.g. so the white b.g. could be now the top priority for the turkish military not this ceasefire agreement and it many thanks let's get more on that story for you holdren yelchin chi is a military specialist and professor at the top university of economics and technology joins us from anchorage. for everyone except the turks this seems to

have a one stream approach the turks it would appear to have a two stream approach can they pull this off. the. problem. because actually the characteristic of the military operation was already a big problem for turkey and it was a big military operation because it is not to call for the peace process there are lots of warring parties in need but after the astana meetings joining to us all parties gave did consent but some third. changed after the astana meetings now the kurds p.k. killed it. might change the situation is often indeed got to the your following news. as you know in.

another time in the region eastham board ofter order part of the iraq so it has correlated to in syria so our concern military concern surely first of all. extraneous people in it but before that unfortunate changes changes or changes possible changes of policies in the region might cure conflict religion is a big. you've turned. in it escalation in design that would be a big accomplishment and very important and difficult task i guess surely one way to avoid that escalation you're talking about there is if the turkish authorities talk to. but crucially would. be prepared to talk to turkey. yeah i don't know any idea on the issue but to kill it speaking in us tone or

give all parties their constant iran turkey and russia board all these three parties have connections to the all parties so this is why did action from last time in meetings all are the non-state actors also again did constant this is on my direction as an academic so i don't know the specific vendor it is in told or not so it's on the process of to process the content was an assisted in i understood deduct from the operation they had already taken their consent but this is deduction is the location of italy as a deescalation zone inherently flawed because if you look at the territorial map of who controls what territory inside syria as of today those fighters have been in

effect kettle they've been corralled to that area in it live so if you get all those fighters in that area why designate that as a deescalation zone the logic seems floor shortly. yes yeah actually that's true there is a really big fighters i mean dickey big amount of fighters in it live we might really result in big direct to the turkish forces but. it was a case for day to go or urge turkey's main concern was all know these extremist peoples but are changing this generation. and the referendum process. securitas of the kurdish mormons in their. vest and border off to syria to turkey you name it often so far in turkey we have been discussing the possible.

cure from often to tell you i don't know where that is the answer your christian or i know that's fine thank you so much for joining us hell don't yelchin good to talk to you again. yeah ok thank you thank you. kurdish forces in iraq are reportedly mobilizing after accusing baghdad of sending its forces to two areas near kurdish controlled oil fields close to the city of kirkuk the kurdish regional security council says soldiers have been seen south of the city iraq's government has denied it's planning a military attack on the kurdish controlled region of the country tensions have been rising between the two governments since the kurdish the session referendum last month let's go straight to charles stratford in erbil in northern iraq charlie if they're not planning something military what are they doing. it's very difficult to say i mean according to the kurdish regional government here they are planning a military attack certainly we've been speaking to sources in and around kirkuk

they're telling us that they have indeed seen the iraqi military and a shia militia groups moving into positions in the south in the west of kirkuk within around two to three kilometers of peshmerga positions the k r g government saying that thousands of patients have been moved down to kill cook in anticipation of any potential military action down there now the iraqi paid off their joint military command center is saying that this movement of troops does not represent any great prime minister hydrilla body has said that he doesn't see any military solution to this to this crisis after this very controversial referendum held last month but he also warned that the pace most of the kurdish forces should not interfere with any iraqi military operations in that area of course killed cook

is hugely important to both sides very oil wealthy and it was part of this referendum that was held that controversial referendum despite kirkuk being in disputed areas where the kurds say describe the care cook as being their jerusalem in the peshmerga have not to give it up interestingly the last sort of ten or fifteen minutes to pay. have tweeted all read out what they said the peshmerga must be in the highest state of readiness to defend the people in a land of kurdistan and retaliate against any threats and attacks and we also understand the peshmerga chief of staff saying that top brass top generals are meeting in kirkuk as we speak. so it doesn't matter seemingly what the iraqi government to say according to the k r j this represents an escalation around kirkuk charles to get the sense that the kurdish forces are kind of having to do

this in a little bubble of their own making in a way because there was so much pressure on the region of kurdistan the kurdish region from across the border on one side iran on the other side turkey not to go ahead with the referendum then there was a wholly negative reaction to the result of the referendum. when you speak to kurdish officials here and they feel exactly that they feel completely trapped and they feel very let down by the international community i mean we spoke to the head of foreign relations here at our stuff a couple of days ago and i had to not put it you know to be blunt about it he was angry he said look at the amount of work that we've done in the battle against eisele he says that the k r g the last one thousand seven hundred. fighters in that fight he said that they've been demanding dialogue with baghdad with respect to future independence since two thousand and five since they signed up for the

constitution they feel very let down and they do feel increasingly pressured as you say by surrounding countries those joint military operations between the turks and the iraqi military in turkey a similar scenario in exactly the same scenario across the border in iraq that statement yesterday from president russet type spokes person saying that turkey intended eventually to take control of that northern border in coordination with baghdad and teheran so you begin to understand the kind of pressures and the kind of fears that the kurdish regional government here has at the moment charles thank you. plenty more news still to come for you here on the news hour including these stories we will continue to work toward to our shared goal of a win win win agreement to ensure that the canadian prime minister meets his mexican counterpart with an uncertain future for their free trade agreement with

the u.s. . find out why african filmmakers a dominating at the london film festival. and test cricket is set for some big changes details with our in the sports news in about thirty minutes. the u.s. president on the trump is expected to finally announce whether he'll up whole the iran nuclear deal later on friday under the landmark accord sanctions against iran what he used in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program but president trump has criticized often the deal and has threatened to scrap it in a moment i'll be joined by diplomatic out of the james bays but first mike hanna wraps up with guns from the u.n. in new york. repudiation of the iran deal was a central promise of the trump electoral campaign and i'm disgusted i've never seen anything like it in my life and by the way be careful because we made a rare and

a real power gave one hundred and fifty dollars. now think of it thank you the crowd booed almost certainly unaware that wasn't the case the sum of money released in terms of the deal was in fact iran's own funds that had been frozen by previous sanctions we didn't get anything we got nothing during his first months in office president trump had to acknowledge the fact that iran was complying with its side of the deal formally certifying so on two occasions but the us ambassador to the united nations has apparently been at the forefront of finding a way in which the president could fulfill his campaign promise coming up with the argument that iranian compliance was not the only thing that need be certified we owe it to ourselves to look at every aspect of this deal and understand that this was a flawed deal and understand that this flawed deal has negative consequences as

well this argument that other factors such as u.s. national interest should be taken into account rejected by other signatories to the deal the new agreement is about nuclear nuclear is fulfilled the agreement is the living. made clear to the fact that the u.s. cannot take unilateral action without security council consensus the deal being signed by the five permanent members along with germany known as the p five plus one how many you cannot join with me iran has. all members of the p five plus one stand in line with iran except that one russia china three european countries the holy you and hundreds of countries they are all standing with iran. perhaps the real interest of president trump is not the deal itself but the perceived political and personal need to meet one of his campaign promises if so president tran could pay a long term cost for the short term satisfaction of his right wing support base not

least the dilution of trust in u.s. commitment to international agreements the fracturing of relationships with traditional allies and the possible if not probable repudiation of a security council whose authority would be disdainfully flattered by a thumping member. mike hanna al-jazeera at the united nations ok our diplomatic editor james bays following that story for us here out of the heart today james what are we expecting mr trump to do just over six hours from now we're going to have a speech in the white house what they've already done is release this fact sheet which says it's their new strategy on iran this basically tells us why they're unhappy with iran and the fact that they say iran is destabilizing influence must be stopped particularly its support for terrorism and militants what they going to do we believe is decertify the iran nuclear deal now i should probably explain that

let me take you back to july twenty fifteen in vienna that's when the international community six world powers including the us signed the deal with iran they signed a deal called the joint comprehensive plan of action it wasn't a treaty they didn't use the name treaty because under the u.s. constitution if you have a treaty it needs to be ratified by congress and president obama knew was going to have problems getting this ratified by a republican congress congress was unhappy that it didn't get its say so it put an actor congressional act in place saying we're not happy with this deal we want to monitor it we want you every ninety days to certify it's in america's interest president trump has done that every time every ninety days of his presidency he said yes it's in america's interest now it looks like for the first time he's going to say no this deal is not in america's interest that then means under this act that congress has sixty days now to decide whether to put the sanctions back in

place that are related to iran's nuclear deal and that effectively would pull of america out of the deal or be violating the deal for this is ministration in washington what is the central knob of the problem here because it's not only according to many people a good deal it's the only deal well the problem is they describe it in this fact sheet the myopic focus they say joe. on the nuclear program of president obama they say if you look at the technical details of the deal then iran is complying with the deal and everyone has said that the secretary of state secretary of defense president trump's point is that iran is doing all sorts of bad other things in the region its involvement in yemen they say its involvement in syria they're also very unhappy that that iran's missile program ballistic missile program is not covered under this deal so they're asking congress to look at all those things i think it's worth noting that those around president trump didn't really want to take this course of action and will probably be encouraging congress not to reimpose the

sanctions on the nuclear program they all were in favor of decertifying president trump last time he had to sign the certification said i'm not doing this again i've had enough so they've tried to come up with a strategy that keeps president trump happy and in the end keeps the deal in place interesting you talked about diplomacy they're good diplomacy surely always relies on breaking down big issues into their compas it parts here but this is ministration seems to be conflating all the big issues into one big thing and then mr trump is adopting an attitude to that that's not strictly speaking to do with ballistic missiles nuclear missiles the ambitions to do with that maybe say or what the i.a.e.a. has said eight times now which is iran is doing this within the strictures of the deal and the deal was about iran's nuclear program and it was a simple deal iran suspends its nuclear program in return for the sanctions related to its nuclear program the u.s. sanctions and the international sanctions being lifted it's worth saying that

things like the ballistic missiles they were discussed they did try and get them in the iran deal but any deal like this requires a compromise between both sides iran was not prepared to give on that and in the end those that were sitting around the negotiating table people like the high representative the frederico more greeny in the u.s. secretary of state john kerry decided this was the best deal. they could get james as ever many thanks. it's a specialist on iran and heads the german think tank it's called the center for applied research in partnership with the orient he joins us on skype from sort of atlanta to buy what's your reading of what we think donald trump is about to do in fact this looks very much like a swarm of strategy keeps on president trump happy while not doing any substances harm to the just do in my in amendment in the iran nuclear.

fuel act that don and bob in the future may not have to recertify of the agreement every ninety days so that he keeps his face while the j.c. may remain intact do you have any worries about the deal dying or not given that i see germany has just put out a message to the german government out of berlin saying that we are seeking to maintain unity if the u.s. does decertify the arrangement as it stands today it will all depend on whether iran gets the economic and political benefits out of this it if the europeans and the russians and the chinese and the european union as the international entity nature or that the iranians get their ends of this i don't see where the iranians should walk away and this could survive but at this point i think it's not even going to happen that the u.s. withdrawal so we are not doubt worried at this point so we could end up in theory in six hours time and in a slightly surreal situation where the president of the united states says i'm not

decertifying he will be secure in the knowledge that then has to go to congress and in two months time sixty days congress comes back and says actually mr president the deal stands we won't let you do this. yeah exactly and that makes the whole thing a bit weird so to say politically not very sophisticated but at the same time it gives trump president the trunk of the opportunity to somehow use the stick to his campaign promises he just simply does not want to prove anything the obama administration has has achieved or accomplished in the j.c. q is just one political issue out of many so he can pass the can onto a congress which is then supposed to take action and we are already hearing voices from senior figures in congress there that they want to take where adult measures to to threaten to is there one sense however and it's not to do with iran primarily is there one sense in which this is quite dangerous if he does decertify it puts

more distance between the united states and europe it puts more distance between the u.s. and people that obama would have said we need to be talking to across the middle east absolutely and i think though the most dangerous bit of it is that there is no way to to discuss interest for. any relevant issue with iran in the future or not even if you know they don't they're even was reduced to one very specific issue which was iran's nuclear program and if only agreement over this already enters a crisis with the new u.s. administration any other issue would be iran of the missiles if he wants regional policies they will not there will be no way iran trusts the u.s. or the international community if you the europeans for example also will fall short of this deal alive and that's that's a dangerous thing for a region which really doesn't need any more crises at nantucket or by thank you. we

move on the leaders of canada and mexico have to work on a trade deal that benefits both countries as well as the united states the future of the three countries nafta agreement was one of the focal points during a meeting in mexico city home and has the story. canadian prime minister justin through though arrived in mexico straight from washington d.c. top of the agenda with president enrique pena nieto just as it has been with donald trump nafta the north american free trade agreement which binds the u.s. canada mexico is being renegotiated in the night with the u.s. is increasingly playing hardball with the other two president trump himself has said many times the deal is unfair does threaten to pull out both canada or mexico's leaders say if it's updated it can still work making mexico wants a good agreement but it has to be positive for the three countries you can't just be good for one or the other as we move forward with renegotiations we will

continue to work toward our shared goal of a win win win agreement mexico and canada for the moment presenting a fairly united front but in reality they're into very different positions just last year the united states had a more than sixty billion dollars trade deficit with the mexico in comparison canada and the us have a much more balanced trade relationship. there are concerns in mexico that if negotiations still the two developed countries in the bloc could forge their own deal. i think is playing his cards well presenting himself now as close to mexico in negotiating canada's interests but there's the danger that at some point the canadian prime minister sees that the best thing for his country is a bilateral deal with the u.s. . as u.s. negotiators talk tough for the mexican government was at pains this week to say they too could walk away easier this is if necessary we will leave the treaty

mexico is bigger than nafta the country says it's looking to develop trade with other regions but about eighty percent of its exports head to the u.s. especially cars from the country's booming auto industry. that dependence not the relationship with canada that's mexico's biggest concern john holeman now does it or mexico city. strong winds are hampering firefighting efforts in the u.s. where wildfires have killed at least thirty one people in california hundreds of people are missing after mass evacuations across the state's northern wine country the blazes began on sunday night gale force winds toppled power lines across the region it's thought to be the deadliest wildfire incident in the history of the state. now in a few moments we'll have the very latest world weather for you with richard but also still ahead here on the news how. this amazing gets first time talk to you in five years relieve us a son and his family are freed in pakistan after being kidnapped by taliban linked

parts of the philippines there is going to testify almost a hurrican strength as a typhoon but hurricane strength winds hitting high nine zero g. on monday and northern parts of vietnam zero g. on choose day now as it goes across china and it could just get up to a typhoon status but i think it's going to be the rain which is going to the major problem across much this region right on the outer limits taipei is reporting some very large amounts of rain last twenty four hours northern parts of the philippines as a top ten to lose on that one hundred sixty five millimeters of rain so this system is going to continue to move towards the west the rain intensity is going to continue to increase if anything so as you move through the next twenty four forty hours we're going to see some very nasty weather conditions eventually pushing towards vietnam. the weather sponsored by cats are always. a family business handed down from generation to generation but when this funeral

again you're watching al jazeera live from doha this is the news hour today with me peter davi our top stories a turkish military convoy has crossed into northern syria in a new operation to enforce the so-called deescalation zone there in provinces part of an agreement between turkey iran and russia. kurdish forces have accused iraq of sending its troops to two areas near kurdish controlled oil fields close to kirkuk the kurdish regional security council says troops have been seen south of the city iraq's government has denied is planning a military attack on the kurdish controlled region of the country. the south african president jacob zuma says he's disappointed after the supreme court of appeal held a ruling reinstating hundreds of corruption charges against him and his ations

relate to an arms deal dating back to the early ninety's president and main opposition democratic alliance have been involved in an eighty year legal battle that's cross live now to south africa's judicial capital bloemfontein and our correspondent tanya page joining us on the news so tiny of these allegations that just the allegations that refused to go away. oh absolutely and they go back as you said to the nine hundred ninety s. when it's alleged the president was involved in a multi-million dollar steel corruption linked to that deal of those charges against him were controversially dropped in two thousand and nine by that then he had of the national prosecuting authority when jacob zuma was deputy president on the basis of secretly written recorded phone conversations which the then hid of the n.p.a. the prosecuting authority said indicated political interference now after this long legal battle last year the high court in her toria said that that decision to drop

the charges was a rational that should be reinstated the president and the prosecuting a cut off already came to the supreme court of appeal behind me here to argue against that however the supreme court as we now know has ruled in delivering its judgment less than fifteen minutes that that prosecution case should stand at the high court ruling should stand with me to analyze this a little further legal expert lawyer. from the attorneys here and does this mean president jacob zuma is going to be standing in a dark charged with corruption any time soon turn your thank you for. peculiar question the first thing that we have to consider is the fact that does have to go back you have to consider now that the charges that were indicted in two thousand and nine are going to proceed with him soon hundred eighty three charges but the fact is. i believe that if you take the marriage back and reconsider the case you

should be back in court by next year but definitely not any time soon. because it is a new head of the n.p.a. isn't it so it's new eyes looking at the allegations looking at the evidence and the national party. has already said yes maybe this means that i should be reinstated but our interpretation is that we get to reconsider this and therefore it doesn't necessarily follow that there is an investigation or charges against the president the difficulty that i have with thirty is the fact that if you've got seven hundred thirty seven hundred eighty three charges and i believe if you go through the judgement in itself they state in the documents that the case was tight so if if it means that they now have to go back and reconsider and type case i'm not aware what they're going to be doing from moving on forward i foresee that the da is definitely going to come back and bring in a plea case into court perhaps even contempt proceedings because the da has said this morning that this is the opposition party which has pursued this prosecution

and investigation quite doggedly it's later moved to my mind he has already said we're going to write to the n.p.a. demanding ten days that it responds how likely is it do you think that the n.p.a. is going to respond to that demand i think that is a very good question what we can start off with the history of the case i mean we already know that it dates back to two thousand and nine two thousand and nine that's when the case started and even before that i mean the charges were brought in two thousand and five president zuma now now president zuma but we also have to consider the fact that from the from the onset and the president have been in court up until today but it's the first time in history or in the past two years that the n.p.a. and the president have come jointly to court and every quested that a decision that was made in favor of the president should be kept there to a in a sense of the irrational decision that under full decision should remain as it was

a decision. it was made and it should not be taken further than that and as i said this is huge huge hurdle that we've all come as a country and it's an indication that the courts are not going to be blinded by what is happening in our politics which is money taking over the opportunities of normal individuals to be able to appear in court and to be given a fair trial and i'm hoping that you know this will will result in jacob zuma appearing in court and answering to those seven hundred eighty three allegations if he is innocent and i believe that the country will fall behind him again marty thank you very much for your thoughts and analysis and time here today oh so an important decision by the supreme court of appeal however it is being interpreted differently which means that we may be some many months or years off seeing a president in court if that ever were to happen. thank you. protestors in the

kenyan capital have to fight a government ban on demonstrations in major cities the police in nairobi disperse protesters with tear gas the demonstrators are furious about a court ruling on parliamentary vote which they say favor the president kenyatta for me the mill is in nairobi for us for me to how can they hold the rerun of the election in this kind of atmosphere. despite these tensions and these continuing protests the electoral commission says they will continue with these elections later this month on the twenty sixth they were a number of demands made by the opposition which they haven't seen any agreement to from the electoral commission and this is why the opposition leader raila odinga says he's withdrawn from these elections he says he doesn't believe they'll be free and fair now despite all this the electoral commission says they will continue with him also say they have made some changes for example dealing with the training of election officials that this will be more rigorous to ensure that the elections go

office. lewdly besides the opposition making claims of vote rigging with regard to the elections in august really remember that the the supreme court in kenya had also ruled that had been some irregularities when it came to the telling and counting all of these results so the i b c has faced a lot of criticism and has had to deal with making some reforms of these to some extent but certainly not enough when it comes to some of the demands at the opposition is making. tremendous thanks very much for. me and mostly the young son suchi has called for unity to resolve the crisis in a rare televised address she is under pressure for not condemning the army of alleged abuse of the muslim minority more than half

remember that even for those refugees who managed to escape to flee and come to bangladesh with their entire families the conditions in the camps that they are living in are absolutely appalling there is trash everywhere it is brutally hot and humid it rains often which makes the already unhygenic conditions even more unsanitary everybody that we have spoken with since we have been here covering this story whether they be aid workers or refugees tells us they believe that this crisis is only going to get worse peter. thank you. people in thailand i'm marking one year since the passing of king put me upon his son and the present king on the mourners who gathered in prayer at bangkok's grand palace where the late moment is lying in state it comes ahead of his cremation ceremony later this month which will mark the end of the official mourning period
