president on john threatens the landmark international nuclear deal with iran. iran's president heads back at trans peace judge saying it was for a fake accusations but reiterated commitment to the agreement. and i'm chained up and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up opposition protesters defied ban on demonstrations in kenya two are shot dead by police in the west of the country. and a change of guard at the top of the un's cultural body unesco but challenges lie ahead. u.s. president donald trump has laid out an aggressive new strategy on iran he says he won't certify to harangues compliance with the two thousand and fifteen new kid

deal and he's calling on congress to put more pressure on iran's missile program kimberly helka reports from washington d.c. he's often threatened to tear up the landmark deal with iran but in the end u.s. president donald trump stopped short of pulling out of the two thousand and fifteen agreement to limit its nuclear program for now and even though his own administration has twice certified that iran is complying with the deal he now says he won't do it again i am announcing today that we cannot and will not make this certification. we will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence more terror and the very real threat of iran's nuclear breakout that is why i am directing my administration to work closely with congress for months trump has accused his

predecessor barack obama of being myopic in negotiations with iran focusing only on iran's nuclear program but not the financing of groups trump says are causing instability in the region the president has directed the u.s. congress to potentially revamp u.s. law to set up tough new standards. if iran by a late arbitrary trigger point lifted sanctions could be put back in place senate republicans are already drafting legislation supported by top democrats who have always viewed the twenty fifteen deal as somewhat imperfect we're saying if they're not in compliance we're all with together on this where am the administration also has its sights on another ronnie and target the country's revolutionary guard new u.s. treasury sections are being imposed which donald trump says are long overdue critics say these actions put international relations at risk and could spell the end of

the deal painstakingly negotiated over more than a decade this deal was working it was delivering the iranians were living up to it certified eight times in iran was at hearing today deal trump took a perfectly working deal and transformed it into a crisis with the decision that he made today donald trump has shifted u.s. iran policy and he's not entirely ruling out withdrawing from the agreement altogether i may do that the deal is terrible but for all his tough talk against iran donald trump has for now taken little action ceding that responsibility to the u.s. congress to take the next steps or none at all kimberly helped get al-jazeera washington i don't fish or joins us now from washington d.c. what do you think donald trump is up to here al and what does he want. well explained his base there's no doubt about that throughout the election campaign he stood up many many times and said the iran deals

a terrible deal and as soon as i get into office i'm going to scrap it the difficulty of course is between what you promised in the campaign trail and the real politic of governing in side the white house know james mattis who is his defense sector rex tillerson both of them have said recently that iran is in compliance here's the difficulty for donald trump he may well kick this literally don't the road down pennsylvania avenue to congress and say you need to deal with it but they can only not certify the deal with iran if the white house provides evidence of how they are not in compliance with the deal no the deal deals with iran's nuclear program other things that donald trump is talking about funding for hezbollah or things like that they're outside the deal they were never part of the negotiation that is because the p five plus one who negotiated the deal including the united states realized that they went to the iranians and didn't discuss just the nuclear deal they could end up being split and they wanted to make sure they stayed focused on the one thing so donald trump no has to say to congress this is

why they are not in compliance. with the law and agree with me or perhaps introduce a new sanctions big given the sclerotic nature of congress at the moment and with so much to do just on the domestic issues in the united states there is every possibility they will turn around and just say no we're not going to touch this and other then that i mean what do you think is likely to happen next. well congress will look at the what donald trump has asked them to do it will take sixty days they will look at the possibility of doing nothing which seems more than likely at the moment certainly according to people i've been speaking to they may well as they can really help it said in a news report introduced sanctions that can kick in if he really means don't meet certain targets that are arbitrarily put in place by the united states and the united states alone or they could come up with some other deal to go back to other

capitals and say look maybe we should try and renegotiate this deal normally before a big policy shift like this you get the secretary of state and the the foreign office here the state department walking away trying to prepare the growing speaking to other capitals particularly those of the p five plus one and saying look this is what we're going to do you should be on board but what we're hearing is nothing like this has happened in fact rex tillerson we're told has spent the last few hours speaking to some other foreign capitals and saying this is the thinking but he knows there's not a great deal they can do until congress deals with it they've got sixty days to do that donald trump could well walk away at the end of this and say well i tried but congress didn't do the job but he also has the power power to decertify and walk away from the deal but that doesn't kick in immediately so this is still got some time to play before the end of the year all right allan thank you. how chance decision is raising international concern about the future of the nuclear deal mike

hanna reports from the united nations. the security council went about its daily business discussing me and mine a closed session but the abrasive speech by president trump certainly resonated in this building please raise the iran deal was codify it in a security council resolution back in two thousand and fifteen at a time the u.s. and the u.n. had different leaders of what has been agreed. if you like to state and european union or should germany when you write you must be fully implemented it is very important i'm sorry to see what is now happening diplomats of today are sorry to be are concerned by some of the implications of this statement because we stand by the joint conference of plan of action we judge it to be a good deal which helps improve international security and we want to see it

continue to remain a force others argue the u.s. cannot unilaterally amend a security council resolution and it is not a bilateral agreement it does not belong to any single country and it is not up to any single country to terminate it it is a multilateral agreement which was unanimously endorsed by the united nations security council resolution twenty two thirty one and the leaders in germany france and the united kingdom added their concern for the deal formerly known as a joint comprehensive plan of action they say preserving the j.c. p.o.a.'s in our shared national security interest the nuclear deal was a culmination of thirteen years of diplomacy and was a major step towards ensuring that iran's nuclear program is not diverted for military purposes the leaders added that they were worried and willing to act over iran's ballistic missile program and what they described as its regional activities

. iran has sent a formal letter of protest to the u.n. secretary general it says the islamic republic of iran will not be the first to withdraw from the deal but if its rights and interests in the deal are not respected it will stop implementing all its commitments and will resume its peaceful nuclear program without any restrictions the greatest concern that iran itself withdraws from the deal shifting what was an internationally monitored and restrained nuclear process back into the darkness mike hanna al-jazeera united nations at least two people have been shot dead during protests against kenya's electoral commission rallies have taken place despite a government ban police in nairobi dispersed protesters using tear gas opposition supporters took to the streets ahead of a planned a presidential election rerun in two weeks time for me to miller has more from the

capital nairobi. small scale protests have continued in different parts of kenya and that's despite a ban on protests taking place in the central business district of the three main cities the opposition says banning these protests is unconstitutional and they want to continue demanding electoral changes from the electoral body now we understand that at least two people were killed in the bondo town in the western part of kenya when a group of demonstrators tried to storm a police station and that's when police opened fire now the concern is that there could be excessive force by the police in these demonstrations if we look back to demonstrations in the week immediately after the august eighth elections a human rights bodies released a report saying at least thirty seven people were killed at that time and it's only

in all of these cases besides two that police the report indicates and police use excessive force we expect to see more demonstration in the coming days as the electoral commission prepares for a rerun of the presidential of vote on the twenty sixth of october. a former u.n. chief is calling on me and martin. refugees can return to their homes not camps more than half a million have fled rakhine state to neighboring bangladesh august coffee and i head to commission on the crisis has presented his report to the un security council the international community is prepared to engage me him and welcome the roadmap. used in their report to their kind state commissioners to bases and to go for move forward together and gave them on all the range of issues
