also ahead. the president not only is that photo watching is that more than much democrats dismiss president trams denial of his offensive comments about some countries which has sparked a global outrage. a new u.n. report claims of regional rivalries between saudi arabia and iran for worsening the war and then plus and somehow worse yet in color blanco well the local is getting ready to host one of the biggest competition in the continent the african nations championship. u.s. president donald trump has extended the landmark iran nuclear deal but said this is the last chance he's want america's european allies that he will withdraw from the two thousand and fifteen agreement of his demands to change it and not met alan fischer has the latest from washington. europe's diplomats met in brussels to urge

the u.s. to continue with the iran nuclear deal saying they believe it improved global security now donald trump has agreed but says he would do it again in a statement issued from the white house he called it his european allies to negotiate a supplemental deal in the next one hundred twenty days which would place a fresh restrictions on iran saying today i am waving the application of certain nuclear sanctions but only in order to secure our european allies agreement to fix the terrible flaws of the iran nuclear deal this is a last chance in the absence of such an agreement the united states will not again we have sanctions in order to stay in the iran nuclear deal and he warned those who for whatever reason choose not to. work with us will be siding with the iranian regime's nuclear ambitions and against the people of iran and the peaceful nations of the world under us law the president has to regularly recertify the deal donald trump has repeatedly called the iran deal the watch he's ever seen and pledged before he became president to scrap it at the end of last year he want he was ready

to step away iran is not living up to the spirit of the deal but one of the deals architects says the deal is working there is no dispute that iran is living up to its obligations which we negotiated with iran and it's like that we should live up to our obligations to that does not mean that we shouldn't address other aspects of iranian behavior which course concern whether it involves aggressive foreign policy its political missile program its human rights record top white house also knows the new round of non-nuclear sanctions targeting groups and individuals it believes have committed human rights abuses and blocked freedom of speech in iran but insists it is outlined to europeanize what it wants to see happen but there's no indication the unit peons are ready to renegotiate a deal in the next one hundred twenty days that took years to craft and put in place alan fischer washington the hairy men leverage as the chief executive officer

at st to get that through a political risk consulting firm she says the u.s. president has a vision for what he wants as an alternative agreement. we've seen i think a lot of disarray within the administration and in part over the summer even the cia director here michael pompei o who himself is a staunch iran hawk a real anti iran advocate when he was in the congress even the cia director pompei all had to admit that he had written a letter to general soleimani the head of the iranian revolutionary guard corps because there is such there is there's such disarray that i think that people in the administration even those that are viscerally anti iran like the head of the cia understand that they need to do something they can't ignore the fact that iran exists and it's an important power in the middle east whether you like it or not so i think you'll continue to see president trump trying to stumble forward with all sorts of negative blustery rhetoric but then i think you may also see people like

the cia director pompei o perhaps even rex tillerson the secretary of state or defense secretary mattis doing some other things to potentially reach out to iran or to at least try to stop the chaos that is caused by by president trans trumps rhetoric. moving on to other news now in the u.s. president has denied using the word shithole to describe haiti el salvador and countries in africa but a democratic senator who was in the meeting when trump allegedly made the comment says that's not true our white house correspondent committee how it has more on the controversy that has spread far beyond the american capital. surrounded by members of the african-american community at a white house ceremony honoring the civil rights icon dr martin luther king donald trump made no apology for his alleged racist comments a day earlier. right in a series of early morning tweets donald trump denied media reports that he had

called haiti el salvador and african countries shitholes during a meeting with senators on immigration but he did admit the language used was tough he also denied saying anything derogatory about haitians other than haiti is obviously a very poor and troubled country. we're here today standing beside the president in the oval office was dr martin luther king jr's nephew later he told al-jazeera he believes trump has much to learn about tolerance but is not hateful i honestly don't think the president trump is a racist i think he's racially uninformed we've got time to do it democratic senator dick durbin was at thursday's white house meeting and says trump made the controversy all comments words he calls vile and racist. hate filled for which it is said there were people. traps comments have stung many in the country

including the tens of thousands of haitians who came to the united states after the devastating twenty ten earthquake it was kind of disturbing you know it was hurtful to my community. mike carey members of the president's own republican party have distanced themselves from trump's comments calling them problematic as politicians try to come to an agreement on immigration and funding to avoid an imminent government shutdown i read those comments later last night so first thing that came to my mind was very unfortunate unhelpful it is incomprehensible that these words came out of the mouth of the president of the united states of america a country that was founded on. being free from discrimination the calls for the president to apologize for his remarks are intensifying inside and outside the

united states but for now it appears that apology is unlikely kimberly helped at al jazeera washington well a short time ago african investors to the united nations issued a joint statement condemning trump's remarks the african group of a to the united nations met in emergency session on twelve. twenty eighteen to consider the remarks made by the president of the united states and is extremely appalled at and strongly condemns the outrageous racist and xenophobic remarks attributed to the president of the united states of america as widely reported in the media demands a retraction and apology now james norton as a republican strategist and trump supporter and he says the president's remarks are

exposing divisions within the party. well i would agree i think the republican party is in big trouble and the republican party is in many ways in the middle of a civil war i think there is multiple parts of the republican party right now many that don't support you know president many that didn't support more for very good reason and i think the reason that doug jones was elected is because a lot of republicans did vote for him and give him money and supported in many different ways and and that's a good thing so you know i think all of these terrible bigotry and things that are being said need to be you know washed away and the republican party needs to quickly as fast as they can and move on from these these types of ideas and things they're thinking so it's very troubling and you know it needs to be dealt with but that's been some of the challenges you know all the way along here again whether it's some sort of tweet we had a tweet two days ago about pfizer legislation that's important here in the u.s. where the president seemed to oppose what was happening on the hill and that came to a surprise to a lot of people and then you know comments like he made that you know apparently

last night in the oval office obviously you're going to set back immigration reform efforts on capitol hill which it seemed like they were going to move forward on on tuesday now or they you know it puts it all in jeopardy so absolutely these things are are very troubling and you know cause a lot of issues and you know democrats seem to be picking up a lot of steam frankly in there could be a big wave for democrats you know come this november here in our midterm elections and so i think that that's you know part of the issue in if you look back part of the reason that trump was elected was because of his message of dysfunction in washington and now that he's been here you know a year he seems to be also part of the dysfunction in washington and those comments are are part of that and so i think that's you know a big challenge. turkey's prime minister iran and russia to rein in the syrian government of the province one of the rebels last strongholds that. could force even more people to be displaced one hundred twenty thousand people have fled in

a separate south yemen it says in the south of the country people displaying the flag of the old country of south yemen and are not loyal to president had the although they're formally under his command it says that president heidi has no longer effective command and control of the military and security forces in the south of yemen it says one of the reasons that there is this lack of stability in yemen is actually the forces that have been built up by the saudi led coalition it says that there are proxy units that they have drawn up but it says that these units will do more to further the fragility of yemen then they will do to hold the state together it says they pose a threat to peace and stability in yemen it is also very critical of the coalition for civilian casualties in yemen it says that it appears that the saudi led coalition has not been following international humanitarian law and it says

it's likely that some of those who are responsible for planning and executing airstrikes fall under the designation of the security council as people who should be subject to sanctions again the another damning part of the report is about the u.n. a part of the coalition in the camps there running inside yemen it says that there has been torture in these camps it talks about beatings electrocution constrain suspension the use of. what it calls the cage which is confinement in a cage in the sunlight and the denial of medical treatment it says working with the government of yemen gives the u.a.e. plausible deniability so it is a possibility are now now given this report by the panel of experts that the security council must consider whether there should be sanctions against members of the coalition and also sanctions against iran because the who these sides are also

criticized it says that there have been military remnants of military equipment and drones that are of iranian origin and were introduced in yemen after the security council adopted an arms embargo still ahead on the button. for violent protests into the area of the government's austerity measures in the one seven hundred people have now been arrested and how israel soldier gaza has caused a waste management crisis. by the skyline of ancient harbor or off the coast of the italian riviera. our almighty was briefly shut down by snow and it's certainly a wintry look to that clouds it's retreating and the next lot is coming in little

insists the rallies are legitimate expressions of frustration over a government they say has betrayed its own people. army units have been deployed in many cities to protect government buildings and prevent it descends into chaos this is a delicate issue for the government if you bet for us all the tax increases the budget deficit will continue to strain the state's finances but if it goes ahead with the austerity measures public anger might lead to further instability. sonus. demonstrations have been taking place in palestine after groups including five and her mass called for a day of rage in response to the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel the palestinian health ministry says at least thirty five people injured israeli forces are still maintaining roadblocks and conducting raids on palestinian villages in the occupied
