the french president is heading to the united states determined to tell donald trump to stick with the iran nuclear deal emanuel man is on a three day visit he says abandoning the agreement could lead to a north korea style standoff micro made the comments in an interview with fox seems a favorite network of the u.s. president mr trump pass until may the twelfth to decide whether to follow through with his repeated threats to walk away from the twenty fifteen deal when do you have a bigger option i don't seat. what is the what if scenario or your plan b. i don't have any plan b. for nuclear against iran so that's a question we will discuss but that's why i just want to see on nuclear let's preserve this framework because it's better than a sort of north korean type of situation seven i'm not satisfied with the situation with iran i want to fight against the listing. i want to contain their

influence in the region so my point is to see don't leave now as a g.c. purely as long as you have not a bit of option for nuclear and let's complete it with ballastic myside and original containment. well the strong. trump will be tested on iran as well as other key foreign policy gets used now from the white house. no european leader enjoys a better bond with u.s. president donald trump than french president emmanuelle. mccraw has carefully culture their relationship inviting trump to paris for bastille day celebrations playing to trunks of well known admiration for the military the result troubles consulted with mack on the telephone with an any other world leader that cross says he even managed to convince trump to prolong u.s. involvement in syria. president trump was saying the united states of america had

a duty to disengage from syria i assure you we have convinced him that it is necessary to stay for the long term the white house denies a shift at syria position iterating trump hopes to soon withdraw u.s. forces. arrives in washington on monday for a three day visit which includes tribes first state dinner as president. his influence over the u.s. president will be tested on issues ranging from syria to the future of the iran nuclear deal with iran maintains it's in compliance with the twenty fifteen agreement which the u.s. signed with iran and european allies makarov favors keeping the deal as does german chancellor angela merkel who also visits the white house this week the iran deal was one of the worst and most one sided transactions the united states has ever entered into but troubles vowed to withdraw by mid may unless european allies fix

certain aspects of the agreement including improving inspections of iran's nuclear program so far that hasn't happened trumps recent appointment of john bolton to national security advisor and his nomination of mike pompei o to be separate. state both of whom have criticized the agreement have caused even more concern about the deal's future in less than a month donald trump must decide whether to allow iran sanctions to be put back in place affectively killing the deal that makes the influence of emanuel mccraw and angle of merkel pivotal in ensuring whether or not the iran agreement remains intact kimberly help at al-jazeera at the white house a belgian court is about to give its verdicts in the trial over the shootout that led to the arrest of the last surviving suspect of the twenty fifteen paris attacks twenty eight year old salah up to slump was part of the group of attackers they killed one hundred thirty people in several locations across paris the verdict

silence would be his defense and he refused to answer any questions what happens to him and his co excuse next then. also if you and i hear a will of the said that he is given if he is given a sentence here in belgium meanwhile. remains in jail in france and that is where he will learn of his verdict he is waiting for that trial into the paris attacks that is expected any time next year as he said one hundred thirty people died on november twenty fifth enos all of the slum is the only remaining suspect now he is in jail just outside of paris is a high security jail he's on twenty four hour watch in solitary confinement and will be interesting is to see whether or not he will break his silence and cooperate with fred investigators because so far under interrogation he has always refused to speak natasha you keep us posted i'm sure in the meantime thanks very

changes to the social security system in nicaragua and the payments that people and companies would have to make into that system it comes after five days of protest which have spread not just to the capital but other cities now why did president take a make that announcement well he's come under pressure not just from the united states and the european union but also from the u.n. and the pope they've all expressed concern about events in the country there's been concern also within the country about the heavy handed tactics that people have said the police have used against the protesters there have been multiple deaths including police officers and there are also been many injuries now the question will be if president takers climb down is going to be enough to stop the protests they become about more than just the issue of the social security payments but about the legitimacy of the president himself n.g.o.s and analysts have been saying

for quite some time that the president's been seeking to undermine democratic institutions to hold on for the power not just for himself but also for his family his vice president is also his wife and this student led movement there really driving this that's been going out into the streets have been calling into question this government president all take along with the sort of carrot that he offered in terms of the social security payment also offered a sort of stick saying that if the protests do continue that the police and the authorities will be acting within the law he said to stop these protests he said such things happening in our country this can't carry on. the conservative candidate. says a power acquires governing colorado party has narrowly defeated his opposition in the country's presidential elections the group has dominated the country's political landscape for more than seventy years has more now from neighboring

a more than a quarter of its nearly seven million inhabitants live in poverty and the landlocked country in the heart of south america it is little known by its neighbors and less so but the rest of the world the defeated candidate is hoping to tackle that situation do you think that nationally i think i handle international relations so i know about your concerns you don't need to worry our international relations are in very good hands hands that will also defend human rights you will face the defense of freedom her dog you know me this is not just a speech this is my life testimony i don't trick nor negotiate the outgoing president or i. was prevented from changing the constitution to allow him to stand for reelection by the electorate often suspicious of his. the titians that invest in democracy after generations of political turmoil followed by a brutal dictatorship. but i get that the truth is that the people are very hopeful

about these elections because we are dealing with an exorbitant amount of corruption where the parliamentarians themselves have committed gross acts of corruption in these elections we hope to establish a better future for the country because lately we've been disappointed with the government's economic plan. we are living through total uncertainty we are voting for change for hope although there is complete uncertainty about the candidates proposals let's see what happens the newly elected president known as modi go to his followers takes office in organise his promise to continue driving economic growth while opposing social change such as the legalisation of abortion and same sex marriage i think the majority would like paraguay just the way it is then fly around to see what a silence. was more still to come here on al-jazeera including these two stories the u.s. and north korean leaders are preparing for a summit but most north koreans well they know nothing about it. and will report on

a good recovery in france and look at the weather in spain and portugal given that the weather of the last four days has been more like her and i earlier winter in the algarve and particularly in the data it's an improvement now i said we didn't die madeira of course just off the coast of africa as the canary house and they're going to get a northerly gale in the next couple of days we've given chile i think where we noticed on the show was of morocco itself rebuts for cross the tuesday to me is seventeen degrees not as windy but is going to be cloudy and probably wet it's much better for the east today as you are up to thirty degrees again.

me that would give kim who knows the nuclear issue intimately a big advantage kim jong un is half the age of donald trump but he's already run this country for more than six years and while the trumpet administration's policy on north korea has evolved during more than one year in office the north korean leader has built on the nuclear strategy he inherited from his father and previous grandfather james by al-jazeera pyongyang. an airstrike by saudi led forces has hit a wedding party in yemen the call media reports say at least twenty people were killed it happened in the western province of more than a dozen others were injured if the rebels say another attack earlier on sunday killed six people then the u.n. has criticized the saudi led air campaign for killing big numbers of civilians the syrian government has continued to pummel a suburb of the capital damascus to force beisel fighters now they've agreed to

transport goods most a simply about. food with british roads becoming increasingly congested environmental groups are encouraging more companies to move from wheels toward. today there are more boats on the waterways than there were at the height of the industrial revolution but they tend to be used for leisure purposes for living and for holidays the canals have become a focus for revival so whether used to be kind of a national disgrace they're now the focus for some of the some of the kind of biggest urban regeneration projects across the country shipping emits less carbon than other forms of transport according to government findings the most damaging way of hauling congo is by road for air quality and costly to maintain. so why don't more companies use in the waterways water transport is slow only eight kilometers an hour in

a city canals. but there's an attractive economy of scale the fast growing ports like this some london's river thames are exploiting the rivers being deep into allowed massive tankers closer to the capital. britain's waterways were once the arteries of the industrial revolution were the u.k. now poised to exit the new they could play another vital role in bringing the world's goods to the u.k. and the u.k.'s goods to the rest of the world. during the building of london's olympic park two million tons of building material arrived at construction sites by water helping to deliver one of the greenest games in history. several british supermarkets are now also conducting shipping trials on the country's waterways many of these industrial relics could soon play a role in steering the economy of the future he. landed. on the web site is always there for you al jazeera dot com.
