see american warships. somehow time is aiming to replace america and around the world. these guys want to dominate a huge chunk of the planet this sounds like a preparation for our first president george washington said if you want peace prepare for war the coming war on china. the united states i learned that the first amendment is really key to being a freedom the challenge is going to be the men and women for the resources that are available what makes al-jazeera story is that we just don't tell you what the founders of the story want to know the government is not going to do the one thing the demonstrators want apologize for that's what al jazeera does we ask the questions so that we can get closer to the truth.

the only surviving suspect in the twenty fifteen paris attacks is sentenced to twenty years in prison after he's found guilty of attempted murder for the shootout that led to his arrest. to w. watching al-jazeera line from my headquarters here and oh also coming up what do you have i think that there are a few i don't seat the french president's on a mission to watch donald trump to save the iran nuclear deal plus. here we are on the eleventh day and still logs. of protests coming though anger is former president turned prime minister shows no sign of easing. also hurdles you know you face at the top of. takes him paraguayan but his victory

margin is a surprise. in the last the only surviving suspect of the twenty fifteen paris attacks has been found guilty of attempted murder for the shootout in belgium that led to his arrest twenty eight year old seller of the slum has been given a twenty year prison sentence he became europe's most wanted fugitive after the attack that killed one hundred thirty people in several locations across paris will face trial at a later date for his role in those attacks live now to brussels and our correspondent natasha but listen attash it wasn't mandatory that he be in the court today but he must know the verdict by now. now so i solid to slam was not in the court hey in brussels is our verdict was read out the judge gave a sentence of twenty years to solid islam and his codefendant sophia and i every

day it was the maximum sentence of the prosecutor had requested for their role in the shootout in brussels back in march twenty sixth game with belgian police now what the judge said was that this was attempted murder in a terrorist context and she said that it was clear that there was an intention to kill nasa loved islam said that he did not wish to be in the court today those were the words of his lawyer and i was much surprised because during his trial back in february he was present only on the first day he made it very clear that he didn't have any faith in this process at all he said that muslims are very rarely judged fairly that he would remain silent that would be his defense and that he wasn't going to answer any questions so he will be learning about this verdict from his jail cell in france any clarity natascha over when he'll face trial over the paris attacks. or the trial into the paris attacks is expected at some point in twenty nineteen but no date. has been said in the

meantime solid to slime who is the only surviving suspect in those attacks that killed one hundred thirty people back in november twenty fifth he will remain in jail he's in a high security prison just outside the french capital paris he is under twenty four hour watch in solitary confinement and so far he has refused to speak to interrogators many people say that it is unlikely that he will decide to speak now he has been interrogated several times by investigators of course that is very difficult for some of the victims involved many of those families and relatives would like to hear more from solid to slumber judging from this trial here in belgium where he's decided to remain silent so you would imagine that going forward he will do the same natasha thanks very much. the french president is heading for the united states determined to convince donald trump to stick with the iran nuclear deal emanuel says abandoning the agreement could lead to a north korea style standoff at the comments in an interview with fox news in the

states the network of course one of the favorites of the u.s. president just ahead of his three day trip there mr trump has three weeks to decide whether to follow through with repeated threats to walk away from the twenty fifteen deal what do you have a better option i don't see it. what is a what if scenario or your plan b. i don't have any plan b. for nuclear against against iran so that's a question we will discuss but that's why i just want to see on nuclear let's preserve the framework because it's better than a sort of north korean type of situation so again i'm not satisfied with the situation was iran i want to fight against ballastic may find i want to contain their influence in the region so my point is to say don't leave now. as long as you have not a bitter regime for nuclear and let's complete it with benefit me sign an original

containment well the strong rope or between mccraw and trump will be tested on iran as well as other key foreign policy issues can be held from the white house. no european leader enjoys a better bond with u.s. president donald trump than french president emmanuelle. mccraw has carefully cultured their relationship inviting trump to paris for bastille day celebrations playing to trucks of well known admiration for the military the result troubles consulted with matt on the telephone with an any other world leader that ross 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 shifted in 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. 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 trump is vowed to withdraw by mid may unless european allies fix certain aspects of the agreement including improving inspections of iran's nuclear programs so far that hasn't happened trump's recent appointment of john bolton to national security advisor and his nomination of mike pompei oh to be secretary of

state both of whom have criticized the agreement have caused even more concern about the deals 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 macro and angle a merkel pivotal in ensuring whether or not the iran agreement remains intact kimberly help at al-jazeera at the white house. david chase has more now from paris on what the french are expecting out of mr my visit. they're an odd couple both politically and psychologically both men could be described as mavericks now they have common interests of course because of their respective positions but there's little common ground between the two men what's happening here is the beginning of a special relationship why because two reason may the british prime minister is more or less buried by the brakes it negotiations at the moment and the german

chancellor angela merkel has spent six months trying to get together a grand coalition so there's been if you like a vacuum of political leadership in the heart of europe and this is where president macro has seized with alacrity this position now he's in constant telephone contact with president trump but as for any policy changes will have to wait and see the result of this three day state visit now he obviously wants america to stay on board with the the climate pact he's also said that he persuaded the american president to keep troops in the syria conflict and he hopes also that perhaps he can try and persuade him on the iran nuclear deal but the problem here is there are many skeptical voices amongst the analysis here in paris they feel like tony blair he could be getting too close to an american president and the

american president will benefit from the relationship but it could actually scar the new political face of france and president. the number of dead from an airstrike by saudi led forces in yemen has now risen to at least twenty a wedding party was hit it happened in the western province of heart just more than a dozen others were injured if the rebels say another asika earlier on sunday killed six people the u.n. has criticized the saudi led air campaign for killing big numbers of civilians. an eleven successive day of anti-government protest has begun in the armenian capital yet of an up to one hundred thousand rallied on sunday demanding the resignation of the prime minister. the former president is accused of a power grab and corruption three leading opposition politicians are under arrest charged with mass disorder robin for a stay walker is among the protesters in the capital. and this is how the protests the general thousands of demonstrators mostly students many of them from the

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 they really driving this that's been going out into the streets have been calling into question this government president all taken 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

been a diplomatic roller coaster because people enjoy the from in pyongyang there on the world much of what's happened. ordinary people have not been told the cia director came his secretly that their leader is negotiating with the us all that he's planning a face to face meeting with the country's sworn enemy donald trump so when you ask people here about trump they tell you what they've been told repeatedly in the past by the state controlled media from the mine in montreal every korean gets furious when we hear what trump says he threatens to annihilate the entire korean nation is even a human he is a wolf. down by the river they were playing volleyball. my . this is where i met a young medical student. i don't have a. five year old american people but the american government

of paraguayans promising more economic growth and opposition to social change such as same sex marriage and changes to the abortion laws mario abdul benito's will take over in august he comes from the governing colorado party which has dominated politics and paraguayan for more than seventy years than a slum has more now from neighboring argentina. yell come was never in doubt. this is called party has got the parable i thought all but four years since nine hundred forty seven he started his private secretary the long serving dictator of. surprise the margin of victory was not as great as suggested by the opinion polls. he left then one must look at you up on why i hold my dear paraguayan here and i will not bring dishonor i will honor with the transparent honest administration and with the character to confront the

vices that destroy the hope of our nation it doesn't matter who the adversaries of our people are the adversaries of the people are going to be the adversaries of the next president of the republic of korea where. it's not clear which should be. he's referring to paraguayans economy especially agriculture is growing all the 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 by the rest of the world the defeated candidate is hoping to tackle that situation doing that nationally i think it just 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 for that will also different 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 its politicians that invested in democracy after generations of political turmoil followed by a brutal dictatorship. and i would argue 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 candidate's 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
