powers to lash out at dog trumps attempt to dismantle the landmark nuclear deal. i'm sam is a band this is out there zero live from doha also coming up. of the subsequent rape of my wife not as a lone action by one guard but the trauma of a family held hostage by armed groups in pakistan for five years. it's viewed as a test of the presidency of the glassman duro opposition anger at the controversial move ahead of sunday's venezuelan election plus i the stars return to a.z. is biggest film festival for a political scandal threatens its future. we

begin with a world wide criticism of a decision by u.s. president donald trump to decertify a deal on iran's nuclear program trump says tehran has not lived up to the two thousand and fifteen agreement which restricts iran's nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of sanctions iran's president has a rouhani it's responded to trump speech he called it a pile of delusional allegations and the leaders of france germany and britain the warning the u.s. against undermining the accord kimberly how he reports now from washington d.c. he's often threatened to tear out the landmark deal with iran but in the end u.s. president donald trump stopped short of pulling out of the twenty fifteen agreement to limit its nuclear program for now and even though his own administration has twice certify 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 i 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 the i.a.e.a. certified eight times in iran was at hearing today a 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 . iran's president insists his country will remain committed to the nuclear deal as long as it's into her aunt's interest to do so has the right honey i did that transfer which was full of insults and fake accusations chaumont it's what are you worried about iranian missiles what about those weapons you give every day to aggressor countries i know targeting of the oppressed people of yemen with planes and bombs that you built yourself you don't have any protest about those weapons and that aggression and you targeted our oil platforms you are always the aggressor in this region our weapons our missiles of defending ourselves we have always been determined and today we are more determined to defend ourselves more an international concern about the future of that nuclear deal mike hanna is at the

u.n. for us. 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 did 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 to you i'm sorry to see what is now happening with 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 in 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. and home in there as a whole arms others the international relations director of the amount of news agency in iran joins me now from taft rand via skype good to have you with us so what do you make of this you think iran will continue to abide by the accord. actually the main point was mentioned by personal pointed last night each the

interest of you want is met in the new deal if they remain in place because not on that point i could jump in with i mean practically speaking if the u.s. doesn't comply if it pulls out it's going to be very difficult for iran to reap any benefits from this deal so practically speaking iran won't be rarely benefiting from this deal if the u.s. isn't playing grimes. practically speaking iran has not benefited from it economically actually you know the main reason and the main benefit it all is supposed to gain from the nuclear deal was economy a perforation and flourishing of economy but seems not it's have put pressure and sanctions on bank transactions systems it has not actually made any impact on iran's carny and if there are enough to really any real change in the economy because we don't have any. banking

a relation to transactions because other investors many investors came to iran for the last two years after the nuclear deal but nothing has happened actually on the ground practically as you said so it is going to continue the same way with more pressure and more sanctions by the american side for sure there won't be any any. in any benefits for iran so it won't be put out out of it ok what happens on a situation you're saying already iran is not benefiting from this deal the white house says it is not going to certify what if other european countries and other other powers continue to abide by it. that's the point you know nuclear deal is not a bilateral a deal between iran and the united states is multilateral an international issue and through guilt by the united nations so as miss my granny mentioned last night

it is not something that the american president can and all it it will remove it. but the point is that the signs especially and on so china and russia need to be a more active players in that in the situation here what's present trump is doing is to undermine the other players and undermine international organizations doesn't panther's this this cancer that he created is a core in climate change chiquita unesco yesterday and he's trying to undermine not only international loans nations but also other players in the war maybe to achieve his own vision when you get so european side especially should take their own role and play a more active role and here in the situation to make it more and more let's say. revived the nuclear deal actually soledad it is that is in place is going to have

its roster i'm certain it's less big leather do what they really want to do that president trump is trying to isolate himself on the united states front the international relations and international politics but if you look outside especially. say after the nuclear the there are still grounds so that iran can benefit fund that most of the arms and economic trays that iran wants to have mined in a very it was really european sites so if they stay to it and they really believe that in action then nuclear they can a stain there is only putting aside the american side. let's see how it develops from here thanks so much. on the family freed after being held hostage for five years have returned to canada from pakistan joshua boyle and his american wife

caitlin coleman was seized by the taliban linked capaldi group while hiking in afghanistan spoken of their ordeal. i was in afghanistan helping the most neglected minority group in the world those ordinary villagers who live deep inside taliban controlled afghanistan where no ngo no aid worker and no government has ever successfully been able to bring the necessary help. the stupidity and the evil of the haqqani network kidnapping of a pilgrim and his heavily pregnant wife engaged in helping ordinary villagers in taliban controlled regions of afghanistan was eclipsed only by the stupidity and evil of authorizing the murder of my infant daughter martyr boil as retaliation for my repeated refusal to accept an offer that the criminal miscreants of the haqqani network. had made. to me.

down the line now the u.k.'s ambassador to the un spoke out against what he calls ethnic cleansing i think we have all been appalled by the scale of this manmade tragedy that began with the despicable attacks by the ira countering a salvation army on the twenty fifth of august and we've all been second by the massive and disproportionate response from the burmese security authorizes which is left countless dead and over half a million homeless. it's hard to deny that this targeted violence is anything other than ethnic cleansing of the breaking of muslim from rakhine state still ahead on al-jazeera rescue workers focus on a mobile home park in the search for survivors of a u.s. wildfire. and forget the health benefits of jogging tell you why running through the streets of sierra leone could land you in strife.

oh welcome back now as we take a look at europe's weather we've got an area of high pressure sitting across central and southern areas we've got this low pressure digging down in the east and lots of frontal systems trying to push in from the west across the western parts of the u.k. and it's going to be really interesting over next forty eight hours as this area just on the edge of your screen there begins to push up towards our and that's the remnants of what was hurricane ophelia is going to have some very stormy weather across our and north western parts of the u.k. but fine weather conditions prevailing across much of france and down through austria down towards mediterranean look at night some temperature there in moscow six degrees as a high autumn well and truly here on the other side of the mediterranean we've still got the wind coming in from the sea so along the coast of libya we could well see a few showers developing here otherwise for karo should be draw and fine temperature

you're watching out is there a time to recap a headlines world leaders are criticizing a decision by the u.s. president to decertify a deal on iran's nuclear program. has not been living up to the two thousand and fifteen agreement the family freed after being held hostage in pakistan for five years has returned to canada joshua boyle and his wife caitlin coleman was seized by the taliban linked the group while hiking in afghanistan. former u.n. chief kofi annan is calling on me and now to ensuring the refugees can safely

return home on half a million are in neighboring bangladesh to escape a military crackdown. and heads a commission appointed by me and last year to look into problems. more turkish troops event in syria's northern province after a cross border deployment began two days ago about twenty armored vehicles across the border to join troops already inside syria they were inspected by turkey's top general before moving in to take part in enforcing so-called deescalation zones. is following developments from near the turkish syrian border and we have an interesting development where groups who are opposed to turkey and are clashing amongst themselves what's going on. so basically at the moment the turkish army took positions. and which is on the border with the province. where the kurdish faction has been stationed for quite some

time now there's also a presence of heia to herself fighters in the area and the free syrian army but to clear the factions which are backed by turkey and then there was some exchange of gunfire between the rebels on one hand and the kurdish factions on the other hand this could be an indication that what it what we are likely to see in the near future is a fight between the rebels and between the kurdish factions the kurds say that it depresses any military or armed presence in the area is going to be seen by them as an invasion and therefore they are vowing to fight to the death i have to hear the sound the free syrian army have always been very critical of the kurdish faction saying that basically they have never been helpful for the syrian uprising of that they have sided with the government in different areas so we're talking about a very explosive situation now with those areas where the potential for

a confrontation between the rebels and the kurds or between the kurds and the turkish military is really high because if you see and look at what is happening right now it seems that the turkish military is trying to block the kurds from any movement or any advance towards the north but some parts of syria. the same time we shouldn't forget there is a bit of a humanitarian situation developing in the law tell us about what's going on there too. you're absolutely right this is a story which has been overlooked for quite some time by international organizations i think because of the latest developments on the border with turkey but also in damascus and what is happening is there is a ceasefire which is intensifying in. and out of the kurdish factions say that is just about out of time before they take control of the whole of the province of the syrian army on the other hand is moving towards where the fighting and i was concentrated particularly in the city which is on the border with iraq there are

thousands of people still caught in the fighting and thousands more are fleeing those areas the problem is because of the fighting because a very dangerous area international aid organizations haven't been able to get to those areas and the thousands of people who have fled their homes live in very very very difficult situations. all right. thanks for that the rescue workers are worried about the number of people still missing in the u.s. state of california wildfires that have killed at least thirty two people it's believed to be the deadliest series of blazes in the state's history thousands of homes have been destroyed emergency service workers are focusing on the destroyed mobile home park for survivors venezuelans will vote in regional elections on sunday after months of violent crime to government protest the opposition is expected to win most seats poll is being seen as

a test of president nicolas maduro his popularity there is about reports. opposition leaders in venezuela are crying foul they've just been told that more than two hundred voting stations for sunday's local elections have just been. there closing many voting centers around twelve percent of the people in this state have to go somewhere else and they were only just notified the center was open until last night the voting machines were here. now it's closed. and. this is part of a strategy to discourage people in the state of media that has traditionally voted for the opposition to head to the told on sunday. these elections are long overdue they should have taken place in december last year. has been taken to the streets to demand elections accusing the government of dismantling venezuelan institutions to hold on to power. government rejects the accusations it's told international

observers that everything is on track for the vote. relocating voting centers it's completely constitutional nobody is breaking the law it was announced by the electoral council decided is that in the places where there were incidents in the past. and that is legal precedent has said that the governor selected on sunday will have to be sworn in and subordinate themselves to the constitutional assembly a five hundred member legislative body that was elected almost three months ago he also said that those who are face to acknowledge it could face dismissal but. that . is illegal because it's election with field with irregularities. for the opposition b.c. elections are a chance to win some governorships and test the ground. scheduled for next year.

the government is aware the world will be watching that. they're using them to. there are elections this is not a dictatorship and there is no hunger here when. the government insists the election will be free and fair. the opposition will be hoping for some big wins any doubts over the way people with his run and demonstrators will likely take to the streets again. government is bad. groups saying it promotes disorderly and criminal behavior the opposition sees the move though as a way to clamp down on its activities ahead of the march two thousand and eighteen presidential election. jockeying together on the beach it's an act of defiance for presidential candidate mohamed and his supporters.

running in groups saying it's an activity that leads to unrest and vandalism. or destroys. you know. supporters of the alliance democratic party believe the directive is politically motivated to prevent members of the opposition and their candidate from campaigning ahead of the presidential election into their party headquarters that was set alight. believes the ruling party is behind the fire from political internation with some form of political unrest meant. to allow people to speak up. and peaceful ways the government deny any wrongdoing saying it is promoting

democracy. in such a large group. for us. as a nation the reason why we continue to be the most peaceful country in west africa it is because the citizens all of us are called to bit into that in times of compliance because of the history we had with the conflict in the ninety's the decade long civil war that left fifty thousand dead in the one nine hundred ninety s. still haunts here leone the police are taking extreme measures to avoid violence it is possible to run in groups it requires the prior permission from the inspector general of police he says this isn't a political decision but want to guarantee public safety human rights organizations are not convinced with this argument some lawyers are now challenging this ban. says it's unconstitutional he believes running or gathering in groups are fundamental rights there is a need for people to express themselves he says in order to avoid mistakes of the

past. afraid of instability but that doesn't mean people don't want to express themselves i think over the years and then as i become very experts perceive society where they try to vent out their anger and just the media and talk about things that they don't like about their government president has been the country's president for a decade and will not be standing for reelection you candidates are emerging wanting to run for office and setting the pace for what will be a hotly contested election because hawke al-jazeera freetown. asia's biggest film festival has opened in south korea a year after a political scandal almost threatened its future former president park geun hye blacklisted artists critical of the government and some filmmakers boycotted last year's event in protest over the park in page out of the office stars are returning to the red carpet reports from.

on the red carpet there was stars and glitz and up on dozens but the opening was still a little time. this is the first busan film festival since the full extent of the so-called blacklist contrive a c. was revealed. movie makers are still coming to terms with it. i believe no matter what happens the freedom of expression should not be controlled late last year it emerged then president park geun hye was operating a blacklist against artists she saw as hostile to her government a number of them in the film industry they religiously denied public funding and showing their work was discouraged. an investigation of the scandal has led to ministers and senior officials being prosecuted while parker's self is behind bars . the control of the arts was a historical regression the least impacted the creative reel of the filmmakers and

undermined artistic freedom. one of the highest profile victims was this documentary about the say well ferry tragedy that killed more than three hundred passengers most of them schoolchildren in twenty forty the film laid a lot of the blame on government negligence supporters of president try to stop the documentary being shown that here when it was shown its plane the first of all budget was cut for the punishment leaving some filmmakers to boycott this event of what they say with government think the player of. the festival has begun to recover helped by a new government in power and like any good plot the organizers see this as a life changing episode which makes it strong. like that at the festival or suffered scars and difficulties but in overcoming them we can take pride from not

succumbing to political oppression we have pulled the festival together and move forward. hoping to emerge the hero and the happy ending macbride al-jazeera busan south korea. and it's time to take you through some of the headlines here in al-jazeera now world leaders are criticizing a decision by the u.s. president to decertify a deal on iran's nuclear program trump says tehran has not been living up to the two thousand and fifteen accord runs for has responded to donald trump's decision calling it a pile of delusional allegations the leaders of france germany and britain are warning the u.s. against undermining the deal family freed after being held hostage in pakistan for five years has returned to canada joshua boyle and his wife was seized by the
