a shot no details about who that man is just yet nothing official there's lots of speculation and no idea whatsoever yet what the motive might be what the nature of the attack was canada's national security minister has said he has not he has not raised national security threat levels and officials are saying that people should feel safe they should go out on the street well avoiding the area while this necessarily large and very very sweeping investigation takes place much more remains to be learned about this horrific incident. there secretary general has condemned an airstrike that had a wedding party and yemen more than thirty people were killed in the attack by saudi forces in the western province of hotshot details are emerging of another saudi airstrike last week which killed a senior who's the leader mike hanna has more from the united nations. the wedding hall which was to have been the scene of joyous celebration was turned into a death trap this video which al-jazeera cannot independently verify shows the off

to math of the strikes believed to being carried out by the saudi led coalition local officials said the first missile detonated in the men's section of the wedding party moments later a second one hit the side on which the females were gathered this footage released by the rebels shows the horrific off the mats. a young boy screaming and crying next to what appears to be the lifeless body of his father dozens of people were treated in the nearby hospitals and they have no mercy towards children they've been killed without any remorse says this man a spokesman for the saudi led coalition says it will carry out a full investigation the u.n. has set that off the estimated ten thousand menes that have so far lost their lives in the conflict some sixty percent have been killed in strikes. there's been no formal response from the security council as yet its members have just returned from a weekend retreat in sweden but the office of the secretary general has issued

a statement on his behalf condemning the attack it reads in part the secretary general reminds all parties of the obligations under international humanitarian law concerning the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure during armed conflicts he calls for a prompt effective and transparent investigation and during the day details emerged off another saudi led air strike political council here. was killed in an apparent missile attack last thursday the burnable. with sorrow and sadness i mooned to our yemeni people that did martyr president saleh. he was killed on the nineteenth of april with six of his companions he was targeted in her data province on his way back from a meeting with local leaders by three airstrikes launched by the warplanes of the

us saudi aggression sunday our summit is the most senior who three leader to have been killed since the western backed saudi led coalition intervened in yemen just over three years ago mike hanna al-jazeera united nations or south korea's a senior consulting fellow for the middle east and north africa program at the think tank chatham house was symbolically important to the hooty movement. some odd was the head of the supreme political council that was formed in august of two thousand and sixteen and he was a sensibly a figure who filled the role of president in controlled areas but in terms of his decision making power on a day to day basis he was increasingly more of a figurehead than a major figure he came from the political wing and as the war continued the military wing and the more extreme wing of the movement really took over the overall decision maker for the who these are the monocle hoofy who is generally

recognized as the the leader of the who the movement some odd came from the group's political wing. half brother mohamad is affectively sort of the the ruler of the who controlled areas of yemen from son and his full brother the holic oversees security and some on the ground a lot of the country so realistically when you look at the structure of the group he was a political figure a figurehead who was overseeing an organization which was meant to bring the who these together with the g.p.c. the party of value to the sala the former president himself was killed last december by the who he is so what we're really seeing is a we're doing out of many political figures an increasing consolidation within the movement of military hardliners so it so again he's someone who had some significance he was symbolically important to the movement this will be

a blow to them but overall it makes very little difference to the movement overall . france's president mandela has arrived in the u.s. for three days state visit he said he'll try to persuade donald trump to stick with the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal with iran u.s. president has until may twelfth to decide whether to remain in the pact between tehran and six world powers foreign ministers of russia and china say they'll block any attempts by the u.s. to sabotage the deal alan fischer joins us live from washington d.c. so alan. has said that he had success convincing donald trump not to pull the u.s. out of syria u.s. had pushed back a bit on that but that's what he said so is there any reason to think that he may have some success getting donald trump not to pull out of the iran nuclear deal. always know the two men do get on very well together there's a long as stablish relationship between the two countries a moment mark warner has said that the nuclear deal is working when it deals with

just nuclear which was where there was meant to set up to do. iran in full compliance but donald trump since he was candidate donald trump has said that he hates the around deal and one of the first things he said he was going to do in office was to scrap it no that didn't happen but he did renew a couple of times as he's meant to do under u.s. law but the last time it came up for renewal he said that was it no more he wasn't going to do it again it had to be renegotiated and that is why there is this tension and since then he's appointed john bolton this is national security advisor here is on the record this saying that he would like to see regime change in tehran and it looks as if donald trump is also going to get his u.s. secretary of state mike palm piro who also is very much against iran deal so you would suspect that it's unlikely that donald trump will do a political u. turn but here is the very small caviar and all donald trump also heated the transpacific partnership a trade deal for the pacific he said he was going to scrap it as soon as he walked

in the white house and he did essentially pulled out of it but since then in office he's seen the economic power of china he wants something to counterbalance that he suggested some sort of pact in the pacific area until someone pointed out wait a minute we used to have one of those i know they are talking the donald trump white house the administration donald trump himself talking about possibly getting back into the t p p if there can be some negotiation so while it seems highly unlikely the donald trump will do this u. turn on the around deal because you know flexibly dislikes anything that involves iran still a very small glimmer of hope and it is that that. is working on this this that what else is on the agenda for these two gentlemen for this. well there's a lot to get through you remember that france was one of the three countries that was involved in the air strikes in syria earlier in april that was a joint u.s.

u.k. and france operation and mccall said at the time that he wanted to talk about a multi national effort to try and bring some sort of stability to syria that was mentioned in the read of the call between the two the morning after the attacks he'd like to see some sort of extended peace process and once the u.s. helped with that who to talk about trade donald trump has said that he doesn't like the country deals and so he may well put a tariff a trade tariff on some european goods because going to see that that's a bad idea and will explain why and then there's climate changes well you remember the donald trump called america out of the paris clément agreement and president mccall sees it as a very big deal for not just france and the united states but for the world so they will talk about climate change as well so there's a lot of growing to cover and although there's a see the two men do have this special relationship there are a lot of differences in the political positions of both of them ok alan fischer

live for us in washington d.c. thank you. a u.s. senate panel has narrowly voted to recommend cia director mike pump a.o.'s secretary of state republican rand paul changed his vote after earlier saying he would oppose the nomination. the eleven votes needed from the twenty one member panel for his nomination to advance to a full senate vote jordan has more from washington d.c. . the cia director mike palm peo is now one step closer to becoming the next u.s. secretary of state this comes after a business meeting on monday in which the meeting ended in a tie ten ten if the confirmation vote had gone forward just that way that would have meant a negative recommendation from the senate foreign relations committee that was a signal that the chairman bob corker of tennessee did not want to send it's very rare for a senate committee to not recommend that a president's nominee for

a cabinet post be confirmed so after a bit of negotiating one of the democratic senators who had first voted no or had voted against mike on peo change his vote chris coons was then thanked for his statements like the attitude part of the reason why this vote came up the way it did is because one of the members on the republican side was away for a funeral and so mr coons changed his vote in part so that senators wouldn't have to work late into the night waiting for that senator to show up to cast his vote in person still had on al jazeera. more precious in iraq where despite the president scrapping the forms that sparked the unrest. and like shri under sanctions an exclusive look at how north korea is reacting to international trade restrictions.

the rule of the. mandates of the president with absolute lack of institutional freedom so be it the judicial be it the the police me or be it the. the health or culture or even the religious of the fact that they really took the initiative on individual individual basis to come to the street shows that ultimately institutions are formed by human beings and human minds and intentions. surrogacy stepped down after the release of the leader of the opposition his arrest the day before had only served to crowds her was president since two thousand and eight his second term in office had ended but the pliant parliament formed off the constitutional changes he presided over swiftly appointed him prime minister with enhanced powers stripped from the presidency the peaceful protests had focused largely on high level corruption and persistent poverty in

both bring people from various social backgrounds and the second these were classical nonviolent civil disobedience acts basically and so many other countries in the post to treat them with these changes have been very upsetting for moscow many would think that russia would be very unhappy with this there was no absolutely no geopolitical geopolitical element in this and actually russia refrained from interfering because i think it's perhaps i'm just too didn't want doesn't want to tie a reputation with an unpopular leader anti-government protesters and nicaragua refusing to back down with thousands marching in the capital that's despite the president's scrapping controversial pension reform proposal social security overhaul sparked days of violent protests leaving at least twenty six people dead

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 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 sanctions 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 brand. yeah. yet not yet not ok but
