sporting. golden state warriors after clinching. welcome to the program the only surviving suspect of the twenty fifteen pounds attacks has been found guilty of attempted murder for the shootout in belgium that led to his arrest twenty eight year old. has been given a twenty year prison he became europe's most wanted fugitive after the attack that killed one hundred thirty people in several locations across the french capital he will face trial at a later date for his role in those attacks let's get more from. she's been following the case and joins us live from brussels natasha so what more detail is going to tell us about the verdict itself. well the judge handed out this verdict after reading an eighty eight page document the judge said that these

twenty year sentences for both men were because it was attempted murder in a terrorist context and that these two men had the intent to kill now this relates to an incident which happened two years ago march twenty sixth when belgian police were involved in a shootout with sophia and i. and a third suspect who was consequently killed now it was only a few days later that belgian police actually arrested not far from the home where he had actually grown up with not far from where this shooting incident had taken place now was not in the court he had chosen not to be here his lawyer said and to be honest that's not really a surprise because in february when he was on trial he decided only to attend the first day he said that the trial for him was something of a farce that he didn't expect a fair trial because muslims are judged unfairly he said he also said that silence was going to be his defense and that he would refuse to answer any questions he still faces another trial for his role in those pirate attacks doesnt it.

yes that's right so loved islam will have learned all of this verdict from his cell in a french jail because that is where he is he's in a prison just outside of paris a high security prison under twenty four hour watch in solitary confinement and he is waiting for the trial into the paris attack which is expected at some point next year if he is the only surviving suspect of those attacks which killed one hundred thirty people in november twenty fifth it's not clear whether or not he will speak during that trial he has not spoken to french investigators doing multiple interrogations i'm just a note to add on this trial his lawyer here in belgium says that may still appeal the verdict here so of course he has a more legal process and head of in. paris natasha thank you now the foreign ministers of russia and china have pledged to block any attempts to

sabotage the iran nuclear deal u.s. president donald trump up until may twelve to decide whether to keep the twenty fifteen agreement he's previously called that one of america's worst ever deals the un's also urging trump to stick to the agreement the secretary general remains convinced that the joint comprehensive plan of action continues to be the best way to ensure the exclusively peaceful nature of iran's nuclear program and to realize the promised tangible economic benefits for the iranian people we hope that all of its participants remain fully commit church to its implementation and long term preserve ration well that of people follows another one from french president emanuel my craw ahead of a state visit to the u.s. for talks with donald trump what do you have a better option i don't see it. 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 al-jazeera as david has more from paris than what the french are expecting out of 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 in 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. two more palestinians have died from wounds by israeli gunfire during protests at the gaza border at least thirty nine palestinians have now been killed in the four weeks of demonstrations against israeli blockade palestinians are calling for a u.n. investigation into israel's tactics of shooting unarmed demonstrators. well aid workers in gaza say palestinian protesters shot by israeli soldiers have suffered a devastating injuries the charity doctors without borders says it's treated more patients this month than all of twenty fourteen when israel launches last war in gaza bernard smith reports to this after injury their food become young innes very heavily schema that he called

a tele fire you may run out of luck last week he says he's been a regular protester at the border fence between gaza and israel before an israeli sniper shot him after injury the fate of six hours after injury can be the sea of the limb an excellent missile after six hours and get ition is very high it is for you. to save his leg within that short time eighteen year old attala needed specialist treatment in the occupied west bank israel said no because he'd been protesting. in a neighboring ward use of all crowns a nineteen year old freelance photographer waited two weeks for permission to leave for surgery only an order from israel supremes court open the gates from gaza the health ministry says there have been seventeen amputations so far and most of those could have been avoided if the victims have been allowed to travel to the occupied west bank but only three patients have been allowed to leave gaza. for all of them

including use the it was too late to avoid amputation now in ramallah use of other wounded leg will likely be saved for. those wearing a bullet proof vest with a press logo i was seven hundred fifty metres from the fence taking pictures as i headed away i got shot i tried to stand using the tripod and then another bullet hit me doctors in the occupied west bank say they've been shocked by the severity of the gunshot wounds. nor it seems the snipers deliberately shot to paralyze most of the injuries or under the knees difficult to reconnect destroyed nerves. when we go back to seattle after his amputation he seems perhaps surprisingly on phased one my wounds i will go back to the border and become from where i ended if he does he knows the risks israel says anyone closer than three hundred metres to the fence is a security threat and risks being shot bernard smith al-jazeera gaza city

where this is going to go. i think. the government and the opposition will be pressing watched very closely to see. how to do for the opposition more the resignation of the prime minister he has made it very clear that he has no intention of stepping down so it doesn't seem like there's any move it does but the opposition think it can become a level of truth to most even if the opposition. ordinary media is still very very strongly that it's hard to change. the lead. needed simply to impede the position of the police been very boy very close to. succeeding on the street. of the capital today so far all right robin far so walk a day in the armenian cabin you're about robin thank you. plenty more still to come

here on the news hour including the hunt for two killers malaysian police released sketches of suspects in the murder of a member of. the british. diplomatic editor james bays gives us a rare look at the sentiment inside north korea. and. gets a big boost ahead of his team. this week. now the death toll after an airstrike on a wedding party by saudi led forces in yemen has risen to at least twenty happened in the western province of haifa more than a dozen others were injured who the rebels say another attack earlier on sunday killed six people the u.n. is criticized the campaign for killing large numbers of civilians. afghan military

chief described these two men as being of about one hundred eighty centimeters tall fair skinned and most likely a middle eastern or they police say they believe them to be of middle eastern or european descent now police say they're not sure whether these men are still in the country so what they've done is they've distributed these pictures to various exit points in the country in the hopes of stopping these men should they try and leave the country now the post-mortem on his body has now been completed forensics team have recovered fourteen bullets these bullets will now be sent for ballistics analysis to try and determine what sort of weapon was used and police say they've also been able to narrow down the motorbike model that the two suspects are believed to have left on a high powered motorbike they also distributed images of these of these two models at a press conference on monday and the police chief did not say who he believed might have been behind the killing but just a couple of days ago on saturday the same day that she was killed the deputy prime

minister who's also the home affairs minister said he believed the suspects have links to a foreign intelligence agency. i mean israel has the night any involvement but how significant is this killing. well it's not an easy question to answer this point in time now hamas has admitted or has said that is an important member of the organization that they have described him as a scientist who's made important contributions without specifying what those contributions are and he's been described as someone who participated in international forums on energy they haven't said much more beyond that so it's difficult to know what sort of role he played in hamas and his biography says he had a ph d. in electrical engineering and is areas of research include power converters and renewable energy now we also know that a morning tend in the gaza strip for our advantage describing him as

a member of hamas is military wing but hamas hasn't yet said what sort of role or what sort of. a designation he had in the organization now they have however accused israeli intelligence agency mossad of being behind the killing israel has denied any involvement in the killing with the defense minister even suggesting that it could have been killed because of an internal palestinian dispute now having said that this will be the first time that israel has been accused of killing hamas members abroad in december two thousand and sixteen a tunisian jones an aviation expert was shot dead in tunisia with hamas claiming the killing on israel florence thank you. south korea says it stopped propaganda broadcasts across its border with the north ahead of this week's into korean summit it's an effort to reduce tensions on the peninsula and create a peaceful atmosphere for friday's talks you know that possible. for more than two

years south korea has used loudspeakers at the border to play messages about democracy news and even k. pop music into north korea the propaganda campaign has angered the government of kim jong un which tightly controls the information it allows its citizens to access north korean soldiers have even shot at the speakers in the past south korea has used them on and off after south korean soldiers were injured in the landmine incident at the border in twenty fifteen and again in twenty sixteen after north korea's fourth nuclear test well now in the latest sign of easing tensions south korea says it will stop broadcasting propaganda into north korea ahead of the historic summit between president mungy and kim jong un on friday south korea welcomed news over the weekend that north korea would stop its nuclear and missile tests and shut down a nuclear test site south korea hopes that the meeting on friday will lay the groundwork for a summit between u.s.

president donald trump and kim jong un well after initially welcoming north korea's announcement donald trump now has tweeted a more cautious message saying we are a long way from a conclusion on north korea maybe things will work out and maybe they won't only time will tell well al-jazeera has been given rare access to north korea's capital pyongyang our diplomatic editor james bays has been speaking to north koreans about what they think of trump and the summit he's supposed to hold with their leader kim jong. il. this is one way north koreans relax at the weekend. the last few days had been a diplomatic roller coaster but its people enjoy the fun fair in pyongyang they're unaware of 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 palmyra mandrel every korean gets furious when we hear what trump says he threatens her dilate the entire korean nation is even human he is a wolf. down by the river they were playing volleyball. this is where i met a young medical student. i don't have a. five year old american people but the american government i hate american imperial. imperial i don't like why. all the korean people. at the prison. no date venue has yet been set for the meeting between supreme leader kim jong il on and president trump

one report says the u.s. leader would like to meet him alone with only interpreters diplomats here have told 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 the one year in office the north korean leader has built on the nuclear strategy he inherited from his father and from his grandfather james berry's al-jazeera pyongyang. the former new york mayor michael bloomberg says he will write a check covering this year's u.s. commitment to the paris climate agreement the billionaire businessman says he'll contribute for a half million dollars last year president from pull the u.s. out of the pat making it the only country opposed to it bloomberg who is

a democrat says he'll continue to provide money if the u.s. doesn't rejoin the agreement. now environmentalist and politicians are joining forces to try and save rainforests in the asia pacific a summit is being held in nature where delegates all over the world will try to build on the commitments made in the paris climate accord on the agenda would be the rapid rate of deforestation and papa new guinea thomas reports from telia this machine should not be operating these logs should still be standing as trees most of this land should still be forest in twenty sixteen papua new guinea supreme court ruled that the special agricultural business lease or a.b.l. which allowed logging in this part of the east sipek region was invalid and illegal logging did stop for a few months but it's restarted since the same is true across the country. according to some there isn't the political will to enforce logging bans after s.a.b.

elsewhere made illegal new types of licenses were issued for the same areas instead in rural areas many say logging companies have more sway than the government does over police and officials basically paralyze the public service system so that those public service systems so a very rather than the interest of the nation or its people people here in a remote part of east new breton island say representatives of logging companies trick to them into signing away the rights to log their land giving very little in return you know there was no proper clearance for the local communities at all people weren't aware of what was going to happen to the forests and the land local say deforestation has taken away a source of food and traditional medicine they say that the local weather has changed and that the logos leave a barren often burned landscape in their wake the logging doesn't just change the way this landscape looks it completely changes the way it feels as well it's cool in their hearts out here just two years ago this entire area was covered with

virgin rainforest. now where i've been walking marks the dividing line between that forests and the devastation all around of broader consequences what the rapid deforestation means for southeast asia as a whole is the on and off part is third largest forest bloke on the planet and to see nature regulate off the climate in this sort of specific but it's where would write so with the loss of forest we have a negative impact on the climate the malaysian company operating here. or r.h. accuses the tractor's of trying to stifle p. n. g.'s economic growth it says here in east new britain it funds infrastructure upgrades and provide significant support for education services and health logging companies in papua new guinea are certainly a powerful economic force also own shopping centers hotels and businesses in i.t.

and media when al-jazeera first ran reports on communities looking in the street in january the country's main national newspaper ran an article accusing us of being biased and politically motivated the article did not mention that the newspaper it appeared in is also owned by andrew thomas al jazeera papa new guinea let's talk to will mcgoldrick is director of climate strategy at the nature conservancy he joins us live from your carter in the major via skype well so how much progress in the forest conservation has been made in the two years since the last a.p.r.'s and when i and the signing of the paris climate accord. well thanks for having me the paris climate accord certainly has driven a huge up leave international attention on on all sources of greenhouse gas emissions and it's also turned the spotlight on on forests and on the land sector as a whole which we estimate could contribute around thirty seven percent of the total abatement that required to achieve the paris goal so i guess there's

a tension that that's being lifted there's a huge amount of effort going on in a lot of countries to try and i guess get on top of the problem but sadly at this point in time we're not seeing that translate into a shift in the global trend the global trend is still one of net loss of forests globally so sadly we can't claim any sort of victory just at this point but but it is encouraging to see increased attention and just talk us through one of the greatest threats to our rainforests today well one of the greatest threats is agriculture expansion so increased demand for oil and other agricultural commodities drives encroachment into forests which is a major driver illegal logging as we heard in your report continues to be a problem in some countries although it is increasing progress in some countries as well to try and make improve or address that issue which is which is good forest fires are a major problem as well and in some foreign parts of the world there's continued

encroachments through people lobbying for fuel would for the for their own purposes and in terms of taking names which countries are making the most progress in conservation which countries are lagging behind well there's no heroes yet unfortunately and you see some steps forward so brazil a few years ago make some good progress that sort of question marks around that at the moment indonesia has made good progress on governance but it's right at the first station is still not not improving yet up a new guinea as we as we heard as good a long way to go unfortunately i can't i can't do any hearers but i can assure you that there's a lot of attention being given to this issue and governments are trying to get on top of it well mcgoldrick thanks very much for your time. thank you. in a few moments we'll have the weather with rob but still ahead here on al-jazeera. mexico's rising prime right dominates the first presidential debate plus.

london turns to its rivers it searches for new ways to move goods and save the environment. and find out which an actual team silence this colorado crowd did just kind of later going to last. by the springtime flowers of a mountain lake. to the first snowfall on a winter's day. spring arrived late but with a big burst in many countries and japan is the exception it happened this weekend and this is for heat haze vision the temperatures throughout hong sure were surprisingly high didn't quite break records in turkey but came quite close in fact only just cooling down now the temperature on sunday in turkey was twenty eight is nineteen we saw over thirty and a good part of honshu and that is on saturday broke a lot of records well there are a tumble anymore because forcing

a change these changes always happen is just a little bit more extreme the moment the cloud coming through is an active from it's given in the korean peninsula typically seventy to ninety minutes or right it could do exactly the same as it pushes in as he's doing now so at home i'm sure it's mostly on ship and it's significant rain of course it'll bring the tensions back nearest a normal so low twenty's or even the teens this is a change of course to spring we're all about the same live longer to the change going into or two for australia also been delayed somewhat we've had another heat wave in adelaide thirty one in melbourne twenty eight was much enjoyed by many you can you see the heat or is it looking the heat haze this is looking at melbourne this to last is a cold front on its way through so temperatures will come down or basis will do what with more slowly. the weather sponsored by cattle and race. if you were in beijing looking out the pacific ocean you'd see american warships

when mess was that somehow time is aiming to replace america and around the world full of chinese are not that stupid 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 part one on a just. when the news breaks. on the mailman city and the story builds to be forced to leave the interest. when people need to be heard women and girls are being bought and given away in refugee camps al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring you the winning documentaries and live news on al-jazeera i got to commend you all i'm hearing is good journalism on air and on.

welcome back a command of our top stories this hour hundreds of soldiers are now supporting anti-government protests in the armenians capital yet other than to model the resignation of a minister so sarkisyan was accused of a power grab and corruption the defense minister has promised to take harsh measures against the soldiers. the only surviving suspect of the twenty fifteen pounds the tax man found guilty of attempted murder for the shootout in belgium that led to his arrest sallah up islam has been given a twenty year prison sentence he will face trial at a later date for his role in the attack that killed one hundred thirty people in several locations across paris and the restaurant by. forces in yemen has killed twenty people attending a wedding party happened in the western province of punjab more than

a dozen others were injured. now at least twenty five muslim clerics have been murdered in southern yemen in the past two years most of those killed are said to be supporters of the exiled president of the rebel months or hardy and his allies the points to growing rivalries between us but on groups and hardy's forces in the south they're in a honda reports. cleric. death provoked an outpouring of grief in the southern city of aden he's one of at least twenty five clerics preaches and religious scholars killed in the south of yemen in just over two years most of them in just the last six months. what is the crime what is the peckish and we call on all of those who have to do something no one has claimed responsibility for the killings twelve political parties have said they believe the killers targeted clerics who supported yemen's excelled president of the drive to months or

hardy and many reportedly had links to the party the yemeni branch of the muslim brotherhood and had these leading ally in the south i think it's obvious. that the religious belief and quite possibly because they're linked many of them to the islam. it's not clear shoes doing the talking although there are a widely held belief on the ground. by the u.a.e. act. the killings focus attention on a new layer of complexity developing in yemen civil war the her things control this area in the north including the capital sana and are supported by iran they are fighting forces loyal to exiled president hadi whose power base is here in the self and includes aden al-qaeda controls these areas and. lek three years ago the saudi led coalition stepped in to back hetty's forces

a coalition that includes the united arab emirates from that time the u.a.e. has concentrated on growing its influence in the south and large part by funding and training to yemeni groups each with different agendas and which appears to be at all those with the saudi led coalition one of them is the shabani elite forces there a mix of hardline groups since a session ists who want the south to break away from the rest of yemen completely something saudi arabia is opposed to another is the security belt forces in aden they've been openly fighting had these forces the very group the saudi led coalition stepped in to support the forces don't necessarily want the same thing and it's quite possible that the governments of u.a.e. and saudi. likely different outcomes in yemen the level below containing iranian influence the killings have prompted dozens of religious leaders to abandon their

mosques and seek refuge elsewhere. it's the latest twist in the three year long civil war which has killed thousands and three hundred femen for millions of yemenis medium the hond al-jazeera. somali troops have taken over a military base in the capital mogadishu run by the united arab emirates the order to end military cooperation between the countries follows the closure of a u.s. funded hospital mom in the no reports from mogadishu. somalia military off source one or two of the u.a.e. base and nobody they say they play mentoring a government order to despondent in what are similar through training programs what i want to do like we have taken over everything at this base from now on the government will fund the training and equip the soldiers train to. hours earlier you were a military trainers how did they left the base with almost everything they could moving military hardware and other material to the port to be shipped back home

that follows the u.a.e. suspending treatment a few days ago of the ship's side hospital which it funded and operated in mogadishu a sign of the gate reminds patients that the hospital remains closed security's tight staff or called in on saturday paid their final deal use and told more time for the past three years this facility has offered free medical treatment to many the poor displaced here in mogadishu those who've had that shit was disrupted by something closure are now forced to seek help house where. most of them end up here the turkish run at dawn hospital staff say they've seen an increasing number of patients in the past week the somali ministry of health says it's keen to take over reopen the hospital earth our plan was to reopen the hospital immediately if them are already said they are out completely which leaves our people in limbo so they should quickly make up their minds. between mogadishu and i would have been frosty

since june last year when somali government leaders desist that pressure from the u.a.e. and saudi arabia to cut ties and join the brocade important qatar. last month the u.a.e. shipping company dubai ports world was barred from doing business in somalia somali leaders condemned the u.a.e. agreement with your pm the breakaway and clip of some island to manage the portal barbara and two weeks ago somali police intercepted a plane chartered by u.a.e. diplomats almost ten million dollars in cash was confiscated while the intended purpose of the funds was investigated as tension continues to rise it seems neither side is willing to back down mohammed at all just who wishes somalis. syria's government has continued to bombard a suburb of the capital damascus to force out eisel fighters they've agreed to leave the southern on clay but are yet to surrender the area they occupied which includes the young the palestinian refugee camp is one of the last near the capital

it has been falling to pro government forces and fighters from one of the districts back in government control have arrived in aleppo in northern syria the rebels from kalamunda left under one of several evacuation deals brokered by syria's ally russia many of them belong to the armed group josh al islam reports. it's been a long journey for these syrians rebel fighters and their families were forced from their homes in eastern. and sent on buses to northern syria the rebels had no choice though to surrender or face seeds and bombardment. color moon in mountainous area near the capital damascus was once a rebel stronghold but government troops have recently managed to recapture most of the area following a military offensive. we have not lost we remain strong we will return to our

homes we have been oppressed for fifty years when we rose up against the government we did it in a peaceful way what we wanted was political reform. we agreed to the evacuation deal to protect civilians so we headed over control of our town to the government in exchange rebel fighters were forced to leave behind their heavy weapons armored vehicles and tanks. it's seven years since the syrian opposition was gaining territory and advancing towards the capital. now the syrian army backed by a russia is on the offensive. tat tree under rebel control is shrinking and government troops have the upper hand if you weeks earlier the army recaptured the rebels last stronghold on the outskirts of damascus thousands of fighters from islam survived and. and were evacuated along with their families to the north.

jason islam was one of the most organized armed groups in syria it was tasked with securing the capital for the opposition to defeat president bashar assad and his forces. in the current president daniel ortega has withdrawn the proposed pension reforms that sparked a wave of violent protests killing twenty six people dozens of shops in the capital managua were looted as a protest and to their fifth day police have been criticized for their heavy handed response including the use of live ammunition a journalist was among those killed in clashes and held the owner was shot dead while reporting live on facebook one of his colleagues blames a government sniper. now the race to be the next president of mexico is heating up with the first of the three debates before election day in july the drugs was a major concern for voters president and they get pena nieto is retiring in the front wanted to replace him is proposing

a controversial amnesty for some suspects from mexico city john home and reports. a country suffering record levels of violence governed by a president who many believe has run out of answers that's mexico where murders have risen to the highest point in two decades. but in a couple of months a new leader will be elected the first presidential debate was the chance for candidates to say exactly how they'll stop the killing the country was looking on it may have been disappointed bullets were brandished graphs were held aloft but beneath the posturing analysts said that fresh ideas were lacking the one brand new one this is the more. we need to chop the hands of any public servants who steal it's not a bad thing even the moderates was dumb. i would explain to me but if a lot of the proposals were less extreme but very general more and better trained

police a truly independent attorney general and the increase in intelligence gathering capacities to deal with organized crime it's all been heard before and there was little details of why it will work this time we did see most of the presidential candidates agree on the fact that the current strategy isn't working which is smart given that we're seeing such record levels of violence in mexico but none of them really came to the table with any new ideas or any substantial concepts that they're going to introduce if they win the election. from running andres manuel lopez obrador had said something new on the campaign trail that he might consider amnesty for some criminals he was repeatedly asked to elaborate on that he didn't see. my words have been twisted saying that i intend to free all criminals from jail what i think is that we have to deal with the root causes of the violence above all combating poverty. he's far ahead in the opinion polls and comparable

bleyer fool to dodge questions but the other candidates have two months to show that they have a better plan to beat mix goes on going and still growing problem john home and. scarcity now the ruling party candidate has won paragliders presidential election. from the colorado party took more than forty six percent of the vote but the result was closer than expected with his main rival winning close to forty three percent but he tells us pledge to support the pro-business policies of the outgoing president this. the cia director michael payer faces a crucial vote on monday to become the next u.s. secretary of state more than half of the senate foreign relations committee is refusing to support president trump's pick for the job helen fisher reports. might compete with these protesters at his confirmation hearing in front of the senate foreign relations committee we was trying to sell himself as america's next top

diplomat. but no senators are suggesting he may not be right for the job cia director easily won the nomination for that role but secretary of state is a bigger job with a broader responsibility a lot of democrats who are seeking to find common ground we're trying to figure out some ways they could demonstrate some bipartisanship and i think that reservoir of potential goodwill that trump had won in january twenty seventeen with senate democrats has dissipated significantly since then a former kansas congressman a former u.s. army officer some senators have been unsettled by pompey was past positions you pose as the iran nuclear deal has criticized gay marriage and his claim that muslims are a threat to america you see there's a hawk someone who promotes and aggressive foreign policy. there's no one as you just heard what i described there's no one but someone who served in uniform who understands the value of this pharmacy and the terror and tragedy that is war like

someone who served in uniform it's the last resort it must always be so god bless you all your computer was picked for the job of secretary of state after rex tillerson was unceremoniously sacked by tweet in march from people recently made news by holding secret talks with north korean leader kim jong un giving the way for a summit in the coming weeks president will trump visiting a yes on his pick you know i think my comment. you know one of the great series is that is republican senator rand paul has already said he will oppose the nomination and democrats don't think you'll do enough to stand up to the president we didn't hear any evidence at that hearing for a director that he was willing to do so no committee vote or is crucial for donald trump it would be really bad for donald trump with a republican senate failed to achieve confirmation of his chosen secretary of state donald trump thinks that might pump it will be a better fit for the job as his top diplomat someone he knows someone he believes

he can trust thinks like the president and will echo his view on important issues on the global stage senators on the foreign relations committee have to decide if that's something they want i want fish or al-jazeera washington now the roads in britain becoming increasingly clogged with traffic businesses are looking to revive a lost and forgotten transport network two hundred year old ten hours the bulk of reports. life of britain's waterways moves at an unhurried pace. rows upon its pilots pleasure boats reaching its canal in london these wants to collecting backwaters of attracting new life. before i worked on the waterways i was close to leaving london i think there's something about the community around the water is something about water in itself that's quite call me to think that you can do down here this is a small section of

a three thousand kilometer network of canals and navigable rivers in the u.k. many built in the early nineteenth century joining britain's industrial revolution to move heavy goods such as ion and coal today only five percent are used to transport goods most a simply about done. with british roads becoming increasingly congested environmental groups are encouraging more companies to move from wheels to water 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 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 on london's river thames are exploiting. the river has been deepened to allow the massive tankers closer to the capital. britain's waterways were once the arteries of the industrial revolution and with the u.k. now poised to exit the e.u. 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. london.
