a small have all the day's sport including two of england's greatest football rivals are facing off right now liverpool are hosting manchester united at anfield we'll have all the details coming up later this hour. we begin in syria where u.s. bank forces and the government are reporting advances against syrian state t.v. says government troops and allies have retaken the town of dean one of the remaining pockets of ice or territory inside syria you can see it here on our map that's the area that's outlined in black for you now the u.s. backed forces say they have begun the final battle to defeat the group in iraq or its former self proclaimed capital you can see it there well north of damascus and the n.t. eisel coalition's victories pushed i saw into regions much further off to the west

of the country. is following developments from on the turkey syria border hashim when they retake graca how many people ordinary people will they find still within the confines of those areas they've been fighting over. very few for the simple reason is that now the fighting is concerned traitors around fewer blocks in the center of. how we don't know exactly about the number of civilians who are still trapped there but with different top military commanders from the kurdish factions i have been trying to negotiate a deal that would pave the way for some of the. fighters and their families to leave the area. free passage that there's been some differences between the different components of the deal about what's next it seems that the international coalition is against any movement in the granting in a free pass to foreign fighters who are still operating inside that we're talking

about different sources now from these kurdish factions that say this is just going to be a matter of few hours before they declare that it is under their control. which is going to be a major setback for ice in syria and as the fighting intensifies in different parts of the of the country particularly in the east thousands are still trapped in the fighting and thousands more fully. traumatized with nowhere to go they have no option but to wait for humanitarian aid. and moment civilians have been waiting for years they are being evacuated from fighting iraq staying home was unsafe strikes have killed hundreds. in neighboring they also work thousands of syrians flee their homes as fighting intensifies i still

fighters have regrouped in a mayor dean a city on the border with iraq before an expected push by syrian kurdish factions known as the s.d.f. took up each other city. north of rock was built to accommodate the internally displaced it's struggling with a growing number of refugees who have nowhere to go such as. well has just arrived from the us. we left home because of the farting in there it was a long journey before we got to the camp we spent a long sleepless nights and many days with nothing to eat and they're buried and my daughter is sick and she needs treatment we have been suffering since the start of war in syria kurdish factions control the very few aid organizations manage to reach the area the camp lacks basic infrastructure services.

a situation that is likely to worsen during the winter. time and. look at the tents they gave me in this camp i have nothing no cover sheets nothing i'm a widow and i cannot look after my children on my own they told us go to the camp and you will get help i got nothing from them. many here have lost hope they'll ever be able to return home to their villages the battles to recover to rock and dealers or have destroyed entire areas defeating i still may not be the end of war in syria as the s.d.f. advances the syrian army is on the move both competing to control more territory. if war is over in is this a year that's far from being the and for the worse for thousands of people there because what is happening right now is that why the syrian democratic forces which

are the main kurdish faction is moving from north towards the east there is also a push by the government syrian government from the south to word this potential for the syrian army to class with the syrian military has been insistent that it will retake every single territory that it has lost to i still the rebels and the kurds which means that for the thousands of people still trapped there they might have no other way out but to move towards the border with turkey peter question thanks very much for joining us now from skegness in the u.k. as matthew glanville matthew is formerly a british soldier and was also a special advisor to the governor of iraq's anbar province matthew glanville this will clearly be a huge blow to your soul but does this mean i still is dead and buried no it doesn't doesn't certainly i think go so we'll go back to what it was created major advances in twenty thirty newcomer a terrorist organization that runs

a low level insurgency brutally in the eastern city areas of syria and the west and sunni areas of iraq they've been saying that i saw was about to be toppled in this particular theater of conflict way back at the end of august why has it taken so long. because of rajiv reasons that the militant foreign fighters who refused to be captured hold out to the lost in areas that they've had two or three years to fortify networks of i.d.'s and snipers but it's also because this is the this is the danger with isis that it feeds on her sunni resentment in iraq that's meditated against the shia government in baghdad and in syria because they see an ally regime that presses them and that isis feeds off this resentment so i suspect even now there is still some probably pockets of political support that isis can draw on and so syrian fighters who are left rocker will probably

merge into other gee how do you or in tate groups and we see islamic state entirely disappear what are the chances it might fall back to a stronghold along the euphrates valley and have the time if you will to regroup or has it gone beyond a tipping point of not being able to resource that kind of regrouping that it's gone through before. i think it's very likely that it will regroup and we saw a very similar pattern in period twenty ten twenty eleven in iraq where isis is pretty useless or organization al qaeda in iraq was heavily heavily but the problem was that the politics meant that the pressure wasn't maintained and the key issue for the syria credit forces for the american forces is to make sure that the pressure is kept up in both iraq and syria particularly as you say an area around the euphrates along the border because otherwise isis will regroup and we will see

an i says two point zero as the americans called it they continue to feed off the sense of city resentment so whilst the military solution is coming is apparent we need to make sure there's also political and economic solutions of the problems in those areas or address the the sense of resentment that isis feeds off can be dealt with one particular point just just before you wrap it up what's your reading of this these reports that we're getting saying i saw fighters and civilians and their families have been bussed out of iraq up but foreign fighters who allegedly it was claimed would be used to carry out suicide attacks they're being kept in the area what's the logic behind that i think it's actually quite sensible that we we have to recognize that isis came out of local political conditions and then we see it in the u.k. and the west as a trans national you how do you but actually the foreign fighters are a minority within the group and the fact that they have no stake either in

a syrian or a future iraqi society means they're likely to be that much more suicidal so they're much more likely to volunteer for martyrdom operations so i think actually it's a sensible thing to try and disengage syrians who may have supported isis for local political reasons and against the regime from transnational jihadi elements ok matthew glanville many thanks. austrian voters go to the polls on sunday on a snap election that could see the far right freedom party entering government as part of a coalition with the conservative people's party the election is being held a year early after the break up of a coalition government of the social democrats and the people's party david chaytor covering that story for us in vienna david horse of the big issues here. surprising thing is peter that there's really only been one set of issues and it's about the islamophobia card being played here they've been playing it very strongly and that has been gaining votes both for the the far right freedom party and of

course for the people's party of the people's party are ahead at the moment they look like the winners as far as the polls are concerned they're up in the thirty odd thirty three percent and so that'll be the the biggest party. the leader. has managed to do that by actually pinching if you like some of the radical right wing ideas from his main opponents and that is extraordinary few months ago the hinds christian straka was definitely far ahead but now his policies have been ripped from underneath his feet and taken up by this thirty one year old man who's going to be probably the most likely the next chancellor and it's all concentrated on issues of immigration issues of refugees issues of islamization here in vienna and across australia and it's not surprising if you look at the size of the population here just over a million or so in the capital terms the amount of immigration has been into

austria is higher than any other country that's not a well known fact but they definitely feel the working class population here definitely feel isolated and alienated and that their society is changing and that's why the these right wing policies have really gained a grip on the selection selection has century been about the center right and the extreme right is just between those two poles it really has moved towards the extremes work the numbers for us david how does this chime with the electorate. well the electorate essential that the social democrats. and the the people's party have been a grand coalition for so long they've been part of sensually of the old style and old approach of politics here in austria and we've seen in so many cases that the old politicians have lost touch with their electorate have been rejected especially

in the united states and the election of a president the same sort of thing is bubbling in the underneath the surface here that they don't quite trust their politicians they want something new they want something radical and sebastian kurtz and in some extraordinary sort of political party broadcast showing him climbing the mountains reaching the summit and looking across the landscape he's been saying that he wants a new vision for australia it's the most beautiful country in the world and the people deserve the best now that is he's very short on years as you know thirty one years younger than man your macro and the president of france but he's long ambitions and long on ego and so that has meant that the real choices you know which extreme gets hold of the of the parliament and at the moment it looks like there is going to be a right wing coalition including of course christian who has

a neo nazi past of course said that was in his years he was wrong and naive in this way behind him but nevertheless we are going to see some pretty extreme policies being imposed policies like like the fact that they're worried about kindergarten cyr private muslim kindergarten schools which have been accused by many in the political right of creating parallel societies here in australia so these are the issues that have clouded the whole of the election these are the main points that the electorate here in want to vote for and the. it into their government david thank you. east african foreign ministers are in south sudan today in a bid to help to revive the country's peace agreements the deal between president salva kiir and he sang deputy. was signed in twenty fifteen but the fighting resumes soon after that had been morgan now reports from the capital. the ministers arriving in south sudan no idea of got

a tough task ahead of them to breathe new life into a peace deal time between president salva kiir and opposition leader rick my chair in august twenty fifteen a deal which failed soon after the two men put pen to paper in our mission. is that. implementation of the requests for television process decided by our heads of states joining us about on something different artists or peace agreement. so far. all the prophecies of the. fighting broke out in south sudan in twenty thirteen less than three years after the country's independence from sudan the greenman signed in august twenty fifteen was intended to end the war but less than a year later fighting broke out in the capital juba forcing much our who had returned as first vice president to make and since then the conflict has brought them to governmental authority for development also known as i guess one thousand

and two the violence south sudan's government has expressed its readiness for the process but it has concerns we think that we should move forward with giving no proposal we've got is going to respond to some of the points. that very technical questions which is why i'm just going to insist because this will be national both military has noticed political forces. millions have been displaced after the fighting in the capital last year a famine was declared early twenty seventeen in parts of the country more than six million people have of the population are facing food insecurity and the country's economy is hard hit by the war missing all the sides involved in the conflict is just the first step in revitalizing the peace deal the next step would be bringing them around to negotiating table and that's that may prove more difficult as more armed groups have emerged and they very much were signed. the government has made

it clear that it isn't going to start a new peace process to include new groups there is a limit to what i get can do. would have. to bring peace to their own country nobody can make them the only thing that and any other international party. is the facilitator and bring them together. various groups who are in disagreement so that there are disagreements those disagreements have caused the lives of countless hours to the nice people i guess the magic effort is intended to end the suffering but ultimately it's up to the working fashions to pull taken down and whoever joins us live from juba how is this process different to what's gone before. well like they've been there for and minister said peter to me is that this is not a peace process it's just simply a reversal is a sham process an attempt to revive the august twenty fifteen peace agreement that was signed between president salva kiir and armed opposition leader rick my char

now that peace agreement was supposed to give a transitional period of fourteen months twenty six of which has already passed and four months are left to go by the end of the peace agreement period there was supposed to be an election there is supposed to be an election which the government said it would go for but so many of the articles of this agreement has not had been implemented the transitional constitution has not been decided some of the some of the articles of the agreement itself is supposed to be incorporated into constitution and that is still ongoing there was supposed to be a formation of a hybrid court to try those who were accused of war crimes during the period of war before chinese fifteen and that has also not yet happened so a lot remains of that peace agreement that was signed in twenty fifteen that is yet to be implemented so what i got is trying to do at the moment is that they're trying to bring the different factions they've met in south africa with opposition leader rick my char they've met in khartoum and they've met in ethiopia to try to bring on bringing all these groups together but the ultimate thing that they have to do is to try to put them on

a round table to discuss their issues they said that there is a two month deadline they're trying to finish just by december before the end of the transitional period it's not clear yet if that summit with include will include all the other armed groups many of them have emerged after the agreement was signed after the july fighting in the capital juba last year with a different grievances different political aims so it's hard to see how these groups will come together and try to negotiate a way forward before the end of the transitional period ok we'll leave it there many thanks. plenty more still to come for you here on the news hour including tensions remain high in iraq as military and allied militia advance towards kurdish peshmerga positions near kirkuk. 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. and in sports

houston dominate the yankees in game one of their playoff series we'll tell you from start on the night. there has been worldwide condemnation of a decision by the u.s. president donald trump to decertify a deal on iran's nuclear program mr trump says tehran has not lived up to the twenty fifteen agreements which restricts iran's nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of sanctions the iranian president hassan rouhani has responded to the speech from mr trump he called it a pile of delusional allegations and the leaders of france germany and the u.k. want the u.s. against undermining the accord can be helped now from washington 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 two thousand and 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 and make sure 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. well as we've been hearing the iranian president is insisting his country will remain committed to the nuclear deal as long as it's in tehran's interests to do so and without any added that added the speech was full of insults and fake accusations chaumont it's about bit 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 let's gauge u.s. reaction my colleagues she had her sons he is in washington for us here on the news how are they talking about it where you are. two main areas of discussion here in washington and in the us amongst the media class and the pundit on the talk received neither of them really about iran the first one donald trump why is he doing this what's he up to that's the usual question that we have does he really mean all this is he really prepared to take severe steps against iran and and risk international stability or is he simply doing this to appear strong against the foreign policy establishment in the u.s. to his base perhaps more importantly to three of his biggest donors three of his biggest donors sheldon adelson bernard marcus paul sing a staunch ally against the iranian nuclear treaty these are perhaps campaign promises that he made the he would rip up the or he's seemed to rip up this deal

child labels and others often talk about nuking iran after all and is it is this really a substantial action by him or is this as kimberly was suggesting a way of pushing this on to congress and congress doesn't that simply say look you say congress is so ineffective we'll do all trump then take further actions as as he might as he could against iran it's still very very unclear at the second part of the discussion there is a lot of philosophical musing among the foreign policy establishment about the standing of the united states in the world and here i'm afraid there is a bit of gallows humor to be had here it's as if a lot of the foreign establishment i mean there's a lack of self-awareness generally in the u.s. foreign policy establishment this isn't the first time potentially that the u.s. would have abrogated the international treaty or not lived up to a un resolution or international law for that matter but a lot of foreign policy establishment people are saying oh well maybe the world will never believe us again i saw the former us ambassador to iraq under george w. bush you know muse about this so obviously george w. bush illegally invaded iraq so there's all this sort of debate underway as well we

should also remember that a lot of what donald trump to say was said in his speech to the what rouhani called the insults and so on and that's just a common currency here and the u.s. he's reflecting what everyone in the political class a lot of people of the political class say democrats and republicans say all the time that iran needs to be curtailed hillary clinton. on the campaign trail expressed skepticism with iran nuclear deal said more action would have to be taken to curtail iran weird muse about. the annihilation of iran on the campaign trail so many ways trump is just reflecting a lot of what goes on in the sort of the common language used here in washington d.c. i guess the difference is though the way he uses it people take notice and perhaps do a bit of fact checking thank you let's get more now on the international concerns about the future of the nuclear deal with mike hanna who's at the u.n. 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 what has been agreed. if you like to state and european union . with iraq you must be fully implemented it is very important. i'm sorry to see you when you have. diplomats of today 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 the joint comprehensive plan of action they say preserving the j c p o is 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 un 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. let's talk to most of our horse church me he's a political analyst and professor at the foreign media faculty of journalism at the applied sciences university in tehran must have a horse will iran stake and stand by this deal. well hello thanks for having me well as a matter of fact iran has always a stress that it has a number of options available and it's going to stay in the deal as long as its

interests are met and that this is a very important point because a major part of its you know meeting its interests depends on the decisions to be taken by the europeans so iran of course it's very good to see the europeans are supporting iran fully and also supporting the deal but there needs to be more done by the europeans to convince iran that its interests would be met to some extent in future if the u.s. withdraws from the deal back in here in tehran the hawkish policies of the in out of the states president has caused. an unprecedented unity among the people government i.r.g.c. personally speaking i never remember any other time when the president president rouhani mama job was there if the foreign minister many are there is have thrown their way to fully behind the i.r.g.c. and this is

a very important moment because when there are those can i just interrupt you for. me one interrupt to get to one key point when you talk there about unity across the board chipping slightly disingenuous surely because curiously what donald trump said almost twenty four hours ago now it puts him in exactly the same place as hardliners within iran within the hierarchy in iran because they never wanted the deal in the first place. well the iranian critics they knew right from the beginning that the deal would not work because they knew that the united states engagement policy is not meant to resolve the differences but was meant to wear off the components of power of iran that include nuclear to terence missile power and regional clout therefore they were warning the government and mr zarif and others of the repercussions of this engagement policy with the united states now they have proved to be right and mr zarif and mr rouhani and

others have accept that that all those assessments done by these critics were true and correct that's why they have shifted their policies if you just pay attention to the inaugural speech of president rouhani at the beginning of the second term they shift the started when he said that we have an area of options against mr truong but this unity is not just with regard to the deal when the hawkish policy and the use of you know arabian gulf was done by the u.s. president this misnaming brought many people who are not political people or people who are up in the opposition of these longer public even abroad they all have come to can then trump because they are very sensitive about that so trump is paying just the costs of this wrong policy he has done a number of wrong policies so far one of them was this that the misnaming of the waterway that has brought iranians closer to each other to stand against the u.s.

president would result in i'm going to just because we are going to run out of satellite time but listen i'm so glad i'm very grateful for your contribution to this debate we'll have to wait and see how it plays out in the next sixty days thank you. tensions do remain high around kirkuk after iraqi military and allied militia advance towards kurdish peshmerga positions iraqi soldiers and iranian backed shia fighters a gathering to the south and the west of the city now to baghdad has taken steps to isolate the autonomous kurdish region since a vote for secession last month kurdish peshmerga forces took control of kirkuk oil fields in twenty fourteen when the iraqi military presence collapsed when i saw the rived in that area charles stratford is live for us this hour it west of kirkuk charles it seems like a really combustible situation as of just the past couple of days. it certainly does i'll tell you exactly where we are we are at the western most peshmerga position from kirkuk and the tension here is frankly palpable ask ali to zoom

out behind me there you'll be able to see the smoke on the background those are shia militia tanks kicking up that dust the peshmerga commander here says that around fifty tanks in that area you might ever see vehicles with flags on as well those. armored vehicles again shia militia armored vehicles those vehicles have moved up that road one would think around about one hundred yards in the last few minutes and as i say the peshmerga here all very nervous indeed they're also telling us that the pressure sorry the shia militias have approached from another direction on this position i mean as we've been reporting as the k r g has said around six thousand at least six thousand forces have been deployed to they say area and the area south of care cook these guys are basically would not be

surprised if there was an attack at any time there has been afraid as well from one of the fact the main shia militia group the badr brigades now they said that the peshmerga have to withdrawal from certain areas west and south of cuba cook by two a.m. tomorrow morning we've got a peshmerga come out of here the leader of the western front how serious he's taking that kind of threats and he says that because it's a shia militia group no matter how powerful it is it hasn't been signed off officially by the baghdad government we've also heard reports of clashes last night minor skirmishes around certain village not far from here that come out of telling us indeed those clashes did happen and there were some minor injuries we believe peshmerga injuries and injuries amongst the shia. but as i say i mean you can see in the distance there are those vehicles those tanks which hold the tanks at least

moving in this direction more than forty eight hours around forty eight hours into this crisis there is a lot of tension here. it's all the sea important to again reiterate just how important this area is around kirkuk this area was taken by the peshmerga taking control of by the peshmerga in two thousand and fourteen when the iraqi military fled and i still a fence of these peshmerga here the commander we've just spoken to says this is purely a defensive position but they are not going to with rule any further any further back and bear in mind that this area that you can see here only until last week was actually occupied by eisel fighters and both the peshmerga and the shia militias that you can see they were effectively working together in that battle against isis so it just shows you how compatible. this conflict has become all certainly this crisis has become and with no real sense of any real face to face dialogue

happening between baghdad and the k r g it's perfectly conceivable that the crisis could escalate even further charles thank you. time for the weather is tough looking today at south america page take where there's been a huge hail storm in fact if we take a look at the chart you can see this law in and that's been with us for a good while now and for five days ago we saw a significant hailstorm in the northern parts of argentina that made rather large dents in cars and also smashed some wind screens but that one seemed to take place in a rural area the latest one well it's over bolivia and you can see from the satellite picture the cloud really got going there and that's what gave us our very intense hail storm these all images from the city of sukkur and you can see the hail that we've got there already on the ground a lot of it mixed in with some very very heavy rain and this is a city that would normally only expect around forty millimeters of rain in the entire month clearly

a major problem was seen there particularly because hails quite heavy so it really weighs down on some of the rustic out homes that we've got there and that can cause some buildings to collapse and over the next day or so we are expecting more in the way of from the storms but gradually they are losing their intensity well that is over parts of bolivia further north you can see the darker blues there on our chart that indicates where the heavier downpours also they're working their way northward through the western parts of brazil a very very heavy downpours are expected to have a further south generally a lot quieter and the temperatures are actually behaving in a function for a change up at twenty six peter. thanks very much see you later still to come here on the news are. refugees plan their exodus to give the appearance of ethnic cleansing yes says a government minister in ian. and it's a big bottle of tricky encounter away details coming up later with far.

what are you seen like a minute. people of all faiths fell victim to suicide. or in manchester but if the bomb was indiscriminate was the placing of blame this is nothing to do with us this is about an individual who psycho you know nobody could do this unless they were completely unhinged how much just as muslims responded to challenging questions in the aftermath of a. people in power manchester united at this time. when the news breaks that. break. the streak. and the story builds steam jobs much better marketing than building when people need to be heard they thought they were american until they broke the law now they're deported to cambodia al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring you model

and award winning documentaries and live news on air and online. you're watching al-jazeera welcome if you just joining us these are your headlines the west bank syrian forces their convoy carrying civilians and usually people see center the city of raka as part of the agreement with local tribal leaders the kurdish led syrian democratic forces have launched the final battle to push by seoul from its self declared capital they say the battle could last hours or days. foreign ministers from african countries are in south sudan to try and revive efforts to stop four years of fighting there a peace agreement between the president salva kiir and his sacked deputy rick

mashallah was signed two years ago but the fighting resumed soon after that. world leaders criticizing donald trump's decision to decertify the nuclear development deal with iran iran's president hassan rouhani says trump is making a pile of delusional allegations. let's get more on that aspect of the u.s. presidency for you donald trump promised to scrap a number of international agreements if he became president so as he followed through in june he announced the u.s. was pulling out of the paris climate accord treaty signed by nearly two hundred countries he said he was looking for a fairer deal that would not disadvantage u.s. business in his first week in office he withdrew support for what would have been the world's largest trade deal the trans-pacific partnership it would have been responsible for forty percent of world trade and then there's the north american free trade agreement nafta between the us mexico and canada mr trump's warned that if talks to reform nafta fail he'll consider

a us canada trade pact excluding mexico and then of course this time yesterday we were talking about the iran deal al jazeera senior political analyst marwan bush era is in our london bureau now and welcome back to the news or is this a new doctrine the trump doctrine that the doctrine of withdrawal. yes the american think tanks and analysts have been trying to dissect the statements coming out of the trump administration with brede and the letter call razor and yet they haven't really there's no consensus if there's a doctor not one from the council on foreign relations mentioned the withdrawal of the doctor and indeed the president had withdrawn from all those that you just mentioned in addition to. the deal with cobra apparently withdrawal from unesco and so on and so forth so is he walking away from the world is he walking

away from the obama legacy because this is seems to be a president that is led by merrily with a certain instincts about how he sees himself and the world doesn't want to be seen as. impotent he doesn't mind if you call him insensitive or indecent or incompetent but he minded if you call him. impotent and certainly what he's trying to do is by saying america first america first not only in america but there so the world and that translates in terms of guideline a strategy in one particular image peter and i don't know if you remember and i hope you and the rest of all who viewers around the world during member for me the entire trump doctrine is of materialized when he shoved that prime minister of that small state of wanting to go at the net of summit that said america shoves others in order to get to the lead. that's hardly
