6:00 pm
in the lead up to the historic twenty eight feet the real summit. al-jazeera looks at life in the normal. join me for a series of special reports from north korea. here on al-jazeera. stories generate thousands of headlines. with different angles from different perspectives. this is the only evidence that russia was responsible for this separate the spin from the facts that's why on. the misinformation from the journalism the issues here go far beyond one data mining company and one election with the listening post on al-jazeera.
6:01 pm
this is al-jazeera live from studio fourteen here at al-jazeera headquarters in doha. welcome to the people on the streets of after eleven days of protests culminating in soldiers joining them and president and prime minister. has resigned in the capital. movements a big win also on the grid the iran nuclear deal and french president emanuel is using his visit to the united states to try to stop the us and he's got the backing of china and russia as the big three player there is still support for the deal and more from inside korea with north korea without diplomatic. this time he is finding out what life really like under international sanctions and in pyongyang at least the picture is perhaps different. and i'm ahead of mohamed and ever complained
6:02 pm
about being delayed at the airport well we had the story of one syrian refugee has been stuck at kuala lumpur airport for more than a month packed with us throughout the show isn't a hash tag. you with the news grid live on air and streaming online through you tube facebook live in a town to see redock on the power of the people in armenia has deposed the prime minister so resigned following days of mass protests in the capital yerevan which a few hours ago attracted the support of hundreds of soldiers such as ian who recently stepped down after ten years as president was accused of a power grab and corruption in his resignation they say he said the opposition was right i was wrong and the pictures we've seen coming in from yerevan have been quite extraordinary throughout the day and we say it was when the soldiers joined
6:03 pm
hundreds of soldiers join the march it was clear that something more was afoot and eventually we had the resignation from the prime minister confirmed by his office the flags out on the street the people celebrating as we say a major win for people power now we're hoping to connect with robin foresty walker who's our correspondent covering things and you're of on we having some technical difficulties of the problems over at the moment so we're going to come back to him i do want to point you in the direction of a couple of things us and background if you want to understand the story a bit more about them is one of our writers that al-jazeera calm wrote this article on why armenians well it says are protesting but this was of course were protesting this in the new prime and it's in the think just section so you can either search for armenian protests or you can look at kathy his name cathy a b o h d a and to read her articles and there's a link there also vis an opinion piece by professor. at stonehill college in massachusetts on what's. she called a very potent protest movement emerging in
6:04 pm
a mania that is in the opinion section and as i say you'll easily find a link to that from any of the armenian stories of the story today is that as we say the prime minister has resigned after eleven days of protests against him remember he was the president for ten years prior to that accused of corruption he has now been forced from office. now i'm getting a word from a technical team that hopefully we will have room for a steelworker with us in a moment as the and we've got a motto to let me just check for as you walk it can you hear me all right. yes i can hear you tell us about today. it's been an extraordinary day and i can tell you that yeah we stay here. i'm sorry we are as you can probably tell we've been having a good technical difficulties. when we are up and like the running so well so
6:05 pm
working and so yes i mean the atmosphere here on the square is absolutely electric and i'm surrounded by. media as you are just. beyond belief really how they feel because they're afraid after this eleventh they have resulted in the capitulation of the government really needs by second c.n.n.'s rula amin here for the past ten years and no. i don't i can look forward to a different armenia and it's really not yet how it's going to turn out but you greatly maybe not so much about eight minutes or so it's about celebrating what they have achieved or not exactly what they're doing here now where i can hear the popping of champagne bottles the crowds ecstatic and it's it's an extraordinary experience to be here series because this is really a very very historic first time in. this country that has been
6:06 pm
really struggling with its economy and its wars with azerbaijan are going to care about reason and it's really been a soldier in for many many years because people here spell that they couldn't really. change through the ballot box. elections that we've heard you know here have. previously been considered. and actually back in two thousand and eight when presidents and sexy and it was then came to power there were demonstrations that resulted in ten people being killed on this. treaty research very violent end to that and the democratic sort of movement and you've got a movement with crowds but this was the culmination of through all those years we've had drink protests in the past but nothing like this. unfolding events have been just really extraordinary rich with the prime minister the president.
6:07 pm
to laugh a good history we still free on the streets we salute children we saw their parents young and old coming out to show you really that i mean it was actually you know even one thing to be changing the vast majority of people or at least history and that's what they are a president. prime minister. role and that is what you can lead in the statement he made in which he said because question your life the opposition leader of these protests really was right and he got it wrong recently what actions on the table when he was are prepared to go down that route presumably he was talking about using force like was used back in two thousand and eight again this time he wasn't prepared to do that so he has taken a noble step and step down and now we're at a real crossroads for this country. that is a live report from robin forrester walk thank you so much that i had to say i know
6:08 pm
you had technical problems but it was great to be able to hear from you there and see the masses of people out there celebrating the stepping down of the prime minister in armenia he's got thoughts on that story do send them in to us i've already heard from kate on facebook life he said teamwork can achieve anything and george who said no more the guts for a four hour media what an electric ambience there is and he saw that with robin's life there and some of the ins and outs of live television as well as we try to get those links right so let's move on to our next story and that is the french president heading to the united states to term and to tell donald trump to stick with the iran nuclear deal emanuel micron is on a three day visit he says abandoning the remit could lead to a north korea style standoff as he tries to make those comments among others on a platform which the u.s. president is known to be a fan of fox news. what do you have as a bit there option i don't see it what is the what if scenario all your plan b.
6:09 pm
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 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 listed myside i want to contain their influence in the region so my point is to see 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 mccrone and trump have a strong record definitely but this will be tested on iran and probably on a number of other foreign policy issues kimberly harcourt's been looking at all of . 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
6:10 pm
playing to transend well known admiration for the military the result troubles consulted with matters on the telephone with an any other world leader that process 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
6:11 pm
agreement which the u.s. signed with iran and european allies back favors keeping the deal as does german chancellor angela merkel who also visits the white house this week. 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 programs so far that hasn't happened trumps 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 eh. less than a month donald trump must decide whether to allow iran sanctions to be put back in place effectively killing the deal that makes the influence of emanuel mccraw and angle a merkel pivotal in ensuring whether or not the iran agreement remains intact
6:12 pm
kimberly help at al-jazeera at the white house here is shihab rattansi following developments for us from washington d.c. oh we're really still in preview mode because i believe the official trip only starts later on today what how much significance do you think we can place on emanuel mccrone himself i hear these talks that he's the trump whisper that he can he can get through said donald trump or something like that i mean it's he that important to play a potentially. and he said he presents himself as the trump whisperer he's given several interviews now to various american out the other saying that he has this personal connection with donald trump although i've yet to see i we've yet to see really any evidence that he is able to change don't trump's mind on anything although we often hear the trump does base foreign policy decisions on personal relationships not necessarily the briefing materials he receives from the state department having said that this is
6:13 pm
a real moment of bluff calling for macron and there is a great deal of international concern international chatter this morning about the iranian nuclear deal ahead of that meeting the iranian foreign minister tweeted there is no plan b. on nuclear deal with powers it is either all or nothing repeating the same sentiment we heard from micron on fox news a german minister said european leaders to warn trump that situation would quite significantly deteriorate if u.s. pulls out of iranian nuclear deal as kimberly mentioned angler muckle will be at the white house on friday adams interfax news agency the russian news agency says mccraw held a conversation with adam a putin where they both agreed that the nuclear deal should be continued so this is the the preamble as you suggest to this meeting now we have to see what the macro in his own words is the sort of person who can push trump to change his mind on a deal which he trying himself says is a terrible one what else should we be keeping an eye on on this trip not so much the events that happened but the things to be discussed i'm thinking maybe climate
6:14 pm
could be one other thing with with mr macro. right and again the that's an issue in which the macro has yet to convince donald trump to resign back on to the paris climate change accord there also the issue of syria there was a rather weird vaguely embarrassing moment with claims to have changed donald trump's mind on a plan and during president's in syria the white house then walked out back and said no we want to get out as quickly as possible that's what trump has been been saying interestingly it's also reported that france is leading the charge to weaken u.s. sanctions on russia they're having that is they're saying that the current sanctions against russia by the u.s. are having a really damaging effect on european manufacturing particularly in the aerospace and call manufacturing industries which rely a great deal on russian steel and i mean your brother russian aluminum so there is also a push to actually weaken sanctions on russia being led by. the several major issues here but i think right now we're looking at iran because we can actually see what
6:15 pm
the effects might be all we want least we'll know who how effective maclin is been within a matter of weeks without may the twelfth deadline comes up and trump has to decide whether to reimpose sanctions or not we do see a potential out mike pompei or who came and. just a moment ago he did say that congressional hearings that perhaps they'd ministration would stay in in the deal if the european powers were close to some sort of agreement to fixing it we know that there are negotiations underway with the state department and european delegations for some kind of side deals on the ballistic missiles on more inspections by the by the comic energy agency and so on so there is that hope that the pompei or the europeans could come to some sort of agree with all the state ministration and the in the europeans can come to some sort of agreement which will give the americans are trying to say ok what we're close or we'll stay we'll stay in nonetheless even if nothing has been agreed upon more to come in the next few days from the trump micro visit she has. so is france
6:16 pm
reinventing itself as a kingmaker in the middle east is a question posed down to zero. recently outlining all the things president micron appears to be doing to position france as a diplomatic path is also that video embedded there that mccrone being described as a hyper president you can find out what that means and read the rest of the article at al-jazeera dot com as the search for france kingmaker. so want to focus a little more on iran here in trump's plan to scuttle the iran nuclear deal is also facing opposition from russia the foreign minister sergey lavrov is saying china is on the same page as moscow and will block any move to sabotage the agreement with us. we have a united position with china this document was approved by the highest body responsible for maintaining global security the united nations security council and to reconsider such agreements is not acceptable to do so would be an attempt to revise one of the greatest achievements of international diplomacy in recent times we and the people's republic of china will do all we can to counteract this so as
6:17 pm
not to allow a similar extremely dangerous development of the event and as you have mentioned iran's foreign minister mohammad zarif is building up the pressure as well on european leaders he tweeted as we heard there is no plan b. for the agreements and they must influence trump to or not washington's commitments there is also threatening terror on would restart its nuclear program should trump carry out his threat we have put a number of options for ourselves and those options are ready including options that would involve. resuming at a much greater speed. nuclear activities. and those are all. envisage within the dea and those options ready to be implemented and we would make the necessary decision. when we see fit.
6:18 pm
how many columns are there with us now specialist on u.s. policies towards the middle east currently at the met or news agency in iran and we thank you for joining us what are your thoughts on how much influence. president micron might be able to have with president trump over the iran deal do you think you can get through to him as some people are saying. thank you very much for having me actually to answer the question we should look at the realities on the ground and what we have on one side you want which has gone on the flexibilities to accept what have or whatever has been going in going on for the last two years or more after the nuclear idea and you don't has not benefited anything actually in reality and on the ground from the nuclear deal saw it is not going to be any more flexible so any changes in your way or any talks of a fair or negotiations or changes on such things are for sure rejected by iran so
6:19 pm
this is on this side on the other hand. it is important to consider that person trump has been trying to turn america into and has no money again and he is trying to be the only speaker in the ward and being to the only power in the ward he's trying to in downgrade the united nations international organizations unesco on international treaties just as it was mentioned like the paris and agreement with climate angry and and so he stepped away from them and he's trying to be this sort of player and sort of power in the ward as he wishes i think today i don't even know. how many there is a do you think there's a somewhere where they can meet in the middle where the u.s. would hold its ground on what it's saying but but also meet the europeans russia trying to sort of meet them halfway. the point is that the europeans want would
6:20 pm
not accept such a position and so what is going to happen is that i do believe that president trump is not going to step away and put his son put it this time and put it away from the nuclear deal but on the other hand the europeans are going to give some bonuses to him by putting more pressure on iran on pretext under the pretext of for example so-called human rights violations or support for terrorism and social teens or meet on program of iran which has been a really controversial for the last couple of years and they are trying to trying to. force president trump and the united states to stay in the nuclear deal and in actually in return they would put more pressure on iran and as president mccrone said in his interview and you just replayed the issue is that they are trying to. cut the influence of iran in the region they don't
6:21 pm
want iran to turn into a regional power however i do believe that iran has already turned into a regional power and is influencing to in its own wants and down the region the threat or sort of a threat from the foreign minister of saying well if this happens then we will restart our nuclear program i mean that just takes us down the same path we were down before. earth said iran has been for that civil enough and it's not going to be more flexible and there is actually not nothing more to give it from the iranian side iran has given everything it has destroyed iraq heavy reactor they why the reactor iran has limited its image enrichment iran has limited these and nuclear power plants in the towns for doing other places and it has nothing more to give it to you so. any changes any fair jurist to the united states want to take would lead you want to be a resume actually has nuclear power
6:22 pm
a nuclear program because iran has no other choice actually even has to step away and if they ever way iran should react and the only thing that it can do is to resume its nuclear program and return to i think this twenty percent enrichment and other things that have been stop so for so that is a true and real position. from foreign minister zarif has taken and they have actually he and present rouhani have on sort of retreated the position for several times coming to columns are joining us from teheran we thank you for your time. now just days until the first top level summit between the leaders of north and south korea in here down to zero we finally been getting a look inside the north one of the world's most reclusive countries out diplomatic editor james bays is been bringing new multi-part series this is his third report
6:23 pm
now taking a look firsthand whether international sanctions have been having any impact at all . north korea has been targeted with tougher and tougher sanctions by the u.s. and the international community of a what persuaded the country's leadership to pursue a diplomatic course and what effect to the having on ordinary people in this isolated country. we've been taken to a department store in the center of pyongyang despite the international sanctions the shelves here are full we managed to visit a number of shops in the city center all were up marketplaces catering to the elite we found no shortages and luxury items like chocolates and bottles of alcohol that were clearly smuggled in in defiance of the sanctions the official line is that foreign imports have been replaced by increase domestic production. do you believe
6:24 pm
i don't know why others around us are starving us dear reporter when we return please tell them we are indomitable no matter what thank sions are upon us. the only medical facility we were taken to was a gleaming new hospital most of the equipment here was imported clearly a problem in the future when spare parts become needed we were shown the eyeglasses which is subsidized for north korean citizens you know what it will mean yes what's the name of the north korean brown. yellow yet not yet not ok but a recent u.n. report says the humanitarian situation particularly in rural areas outside the capital is poor before traveling to north korea i spoke to the un's top humanitarian official in new york. their. nutrition problem also malnourished children especially there are too many women having
6:25 pm
a really hard time to often dying in childbirth it's the u.n. security council that voted in the international sanctions and the netherlands as the council. that administers them. in all resolutions does a view very clear passage where it says. these sanctions are not meant to have adverse negative effects on the people of the period. that's the official line privately even western diplomats will tell you there's a stigma to denature humanitarian aid to north korea for example an important program by the n.g.o.s the global fund to fight malaria and tuberculosis was caught earlier this year sanctions are having an effect in north korea but perhaps not the one the international community wanted james plays out of his era. and you really do need to see all of the reports in james series it goes without saying that this is not the kind of reporting you see every day if you just look at the section north korean news that al jazeera dot com there's the report you just saw the
6:26 pm
effect of sanctions on north korea there's also trump is he even human. and that one as well the self reliance philosophy north korean news that al-jazeera dot com and of course you should follow james on twitter as well he is at bay on the road here we are at the live wall and if you're wondering why we're looking at a doorway here that is a hospital in london where a royal baby has been born today the fifth in line to the throne it is a baby boy and all the cameras and media are trained on that door waiting to see either the mother or the new baby come along let's go little further down the road in london to our first in the shot and here is judy mcdonald with some more international news for us hi judy. hi kemal thank you now the only surviving suspect from the twenty fifteen paris attacks. has been sentenced to twenty years in prison for his role in a gunfight which led to his arrest in brussels as it was convicted of attempted

issues which people have. yes of course well so it's no secret to anybody who studies that in america i know i'm from the us well originally by the way so i've spent you know a couple of decades studying this they have a very strong relationship or if they and what was chavez and his now mother little and they're very much a launch through the and they have these free trade and these financing agreements as dennis was collapsing it can no longer finance its friends like daniel ortega who has lost a lot of money coming in from the us well and but they use the same playbook there's a lot of you know control of the electoral commission control of the national assembly control of the supreme court and even the way that the repression unfolded was very much the playbook men on motorcycles and that kind of intimidation is exactly what we have seen in the protests i'm going to swell in two thousand and fourteen in two thousand and seventeen and the difference is these protesters at
6:44 pm
least got the government to reverse something so how far is they have those political complaints how far is done you'll take it into his current term i'm just wondering you know when he would have to face the voters anyways having to folks you know face him in a very different way at the moment. yeah well that's another thing eliminated term limits he came in in two thousand and seven after you know he was he was there in the eighty's during the civil war with the sandinistas and all that. and then when the laws were changed and he was able to win with a simple majority came in in two thousand and seven so no i don't i mean i think he has to face the electorate maybe next year next year another couple years or the year after that other two thousand and nineteen or twenty twenty but he's eliminated term limits and one of the things that the protesters want is like we had among us well again another similarity is it want to recall referendum that's
6:45 pm
supposed to be granted to them. and they're not allowing they're not allowing even that recall referendum to be considered a recall referendum would be for for him to end his presidency early that isn't even wonderful to talk to you knows thank you so much for your time today i do appreciate it is. the gates runs from zero to come on last in america this was her most recent piece where one of the protesters told her in this reflects what vanessa just said we need to shut down the country to solve this in the face of killings and violence being generated on all sides of the protests so that's in the general news section but if you search for her there is well. little refreshing a second. you can read that and the rest of her contributions to our to zero dot com. if you were to use a taxi at. lift with the religion of the driver who came to pick you up matter of course it shouldn't but it has been. is you tell us about all the controversy

6:52 pm
professionals in his first season with the club the former chelsea and run the player has scored thirty one goals in thirty three the games it was always in my mind i want success here i didn't have my chance to chelsea so. it was radically to in my mind i would turn it back to the premier league and i will show you what my for the book song i'm very happy about that i would i'm very happy for my team mates for what we are doing the premier league on or so in the champions league and you know we have to carry on because it's to lose some games to go hello mo if you see that then you have obviously won the trophy nubile whatever concrete you lation. it's really rampal that you win. as an individual as an individual trophy because it's a team game but in these team lives from personalities from characters from players
6:53 pm
and i'm really happy that i had over two hundred. to be your manager well since his fifty million dollars move from its side run a summer school forty one goals in all competitions for liverpool this season those goals have been paid to the club's champions league run liverpool play solace form a team roma in the first leg of the semifinals on choose day and he's also helped egypt qualify for their first world cup since one thousand nine hundred ninety let's turn now to mark dunn sports reporter for the you can use piped the daily express matt great to have you on we saw him struggle a little bit with chelsea when he was in the premier league a couple of years ago how surprised if you being by his level of performance. well i won't pretend to be otherwise the same as everybody else but it does take some players a certain number of years to get their cells established in the premier way we've seen that with harry cane who took a while to get going and then suddenly it just some something seems to click and off they go how good you think he can be well i mean that's the measure now because
6:54 pm
in the same way as we have we insisted that harry cain had a second say and then a third season we need to make sure he's not other michu don't think for a second years and they can do it again once manages have had a summer to think about how they can stop him but you know all the signs are there the he's going to take some stopping and obviously liverpool into the champions league semifinals what they have got there without him do you think no nothing that's part the reason behind this award i mean a lot of sympathy for kevin to broaden his out a fantastic season so much to say it's a but there are incredible saying that said liverpool have gone further than them in europe and it's been largely down to their unexpected goals of. in a season that could have been difficult for them losing could senior. and just give us give us an idea about his style of play he's been compared to a little messy perhaps in the way you way runs a little bit quite slow center of gravity what's impressed you about the waste pipe
6:55 pm
this season where he's breaking records helped by robbie fowler a little poll fernando torres but he's not a striker is he speed is close the closest of his control is iran's and defenders just don't seem to have been able to work him out or even be a once the first set of goals strain strain no one seems to be out to get a grip of him and i like to say is that low center of gravity it's just a ball seem stuck to his foot at the moment and any shiny shoes very early. and that's i think the secret behind wrong footing goalkeepers and finding the net so consistently i just want to get your take on this matter what you think about individual prizes in football do the found the place they really care about and you think. carries you know i think next week will still be talking about who the player year was but this week we are and now we are and i think fans love it is a debate it's another chance to chat about things talk about football have an
