place in toronto have reassured the public that there is no threat to national security after a suspect drove a van into a crowded sidewalk police say at least ten people had been killed and fifteen more injured although the suspects motive is still unknown police say his actions appear to be deliberate this happened i want to the city's main streets he just went on the sidewalk he just started shooting everybody man he had every single person on the sidewalk anybody in israel you would hit the bus stop everything was shot or there's a lady in there that i saw i just stopped and then looked annoyed when after to general crumbling up one by one one by one i assume the stroller i didn't see the baby i saw on stronger. just then and i seen i seen people the most gruesome scene i seen was a young an interest on woman's leg and leg was all months home. it was really bad. tranches mayor says the situation is under control and is asking people to stay

away from that area this is a time when this community should come together these are not the kinds of things that we expect to happen in this city we hope they don't happen anywhere in the world but we especially don't expect them to happen in toronto but things are as they are and beyond supporting our first responders as they continue to do their work and you'll hear more about the task that lies in front of them investigating this terrible tragedy i hope that we will as a city remind ourselves of the fact that we are admired around the world for being inclusive and free and for being accepting and understanding and considerate al-jazeera stana lakas live for us and toronto so daniel just within the last hour on there was another press conference another update what officials have to say. that's right richelle so we had quite a group of people talking to the city obviously it's a time when people need to see their officials their politicians in action and we had a and a ray of them in the police chief spoke up first of all and gave details of well

the suspect basically he named him as twenty five year old alec maher son ian who is said to live north of toronto and has no criminal record investigators are looking into his home his background and his social media profile and that sort of thing we also heard from the mayor we saw a little bit of what he had to say earlier he said more or less the same thing but perhaps the most interesting piece came from canada's minister for public safety and national security ralph goodale let's just listen to what he had to say on the basis of all of the a little information at the present time there would appear to be no national security connection to this particular incident. the the events that happened on the street behind us are horrendous but they do not appear to be connected in any way to national security based on the information available just. they also have been reporting the mayor is asking people obviously to to avoid this

area as they try to sort out what happened tell us more about this area. this is a very very busy part of town where where various modes of transport come together people go to university in one direction a college in another many places to work there are many places to live and a lot of places to shop so this was a gorgeous spring day in toronto after a long horrible winter and people were out on the streets doing what they do and that's when the van struck at midday so that area is now completely quiet it's a crime scene it extends for a kilometer down one of the main streets of the city and that will stay closed now for a couple of days no transport not much going on but the fact that they've established that they have a suspect they know where the suspect lives and they don't think it's linked to national security or some sort of larger organized plot will point them in other directions and people in toronto are hoping to get more answers soon as to morrow

but certainly in the weeks ahead to find out just why so many people had to be affected by this horrendous act and daniel lak live for us in toronto thank you. and secretary general has condemned an airstrike that hit a wedding party in yemen more than thirty people were killed in the attack a saudi led forces in the western province of ha it tells her emerging of another saudi air strike last week which killed a senior who they later by kana has more from the united nations. the wedding bowl 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

a prompt effective and transparent investigation and during the day details emerged off another saudi led air strike the political council head. was killed in an apparent missile attack last thursday he barely. 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 feel 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 herself faris a senior consulting fellow for the middle east and north africa program at the

think tank chatham house he says some odd 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 sensible. 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 who these 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 leader of the hoofy movement some odd came from the group's political wing. half brother muhammad 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 ali abdullah saleh the former president who himself was killed last december by the who fees so what we're really seeing is 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 chinese police say a fire that killed eighteen people was most likely started deliberately the fire through a three story building in the southern chinese city of king on state media reporting the building was used as a karaoke round. but more head of the news hour including donald trump's pick for

president arrived a few hours earlier with a warm greeting but a clear agenda we will need you to discuss a lot of bilateral issues and to discuss about her security about trade and a lot of milk you know generally issues very important for all countries and beyond our two countries are the white house he was welcomed for the first official state visit of the trump presidency donald trump get so well with a monument but in the talks that have to follow the french president wants to convince him to stay inside the iran nuclear deal not to abandon it and to also think again about possible trade thomas on european goods. the white house press secretary seemed to indicate there was little chance of change on iran from the president's been extremely clear that he thinks it's a bad deal that certainly has not changed and speaking in canada become acting u.s. secretary of state claims the nuclear deal is at risk because of iran's actions the

united states has significant concerns with iran with its blistering mick did ballistic missiles program it's destabilizing malign influence in the region in yemen in syria and elsewhere iran's foreign minister is carrying out his own tutor in the u.s. international inspectors see iran is in through compliance but he warns the us collapsing the deal could have consequences politically it would be difficult for donald trump not to abandon the iran nuclear deal given his previous statements the first chance for president mccrone to raise the issue was of my very own and george washington at a private dinner for the two men and their wives he will hold one german chancellor angela merkel arise to visit in the coming days donald trump might have something positive to see alan fischer al-jazeera at the white house the way mann leverett a senior strategic political risk consultancy and a former state department official for trying to us from washington d.c.

and thank you as always so. many on and donald trump have very different positions on a lot of really significant things said somehow it seems as though they have a good relationship why do you think that is how. i think it really is a deliberate it was a deliberate decision by france's president to build an effective and successful relationship with president were girlish of what it would take that he would do whatever he could to honor and perhaps even appease president trump and so he invites president trying to be the man of honor for a steel day in france france's most important day to have a front row seat at a military parade there and to wine and dine president trump and his wife at the eiffel tower these things were very important to trump in terms of building a personal relationship and president has followed it up with near weekly telephone conversations with president trump so this wasn't

a one time thing in july when trump went to paris this is something that has been near weekly discussion between the two leaders and now president is seeking to return that honor by hosting president mccrone here in perhaps the most prestigious way that he has since he took office considering president trump has rubbed a lot of leaders the wrong way and does not have a close relationship with german chancellor angela merkel as president obama did. not going to have the weight of the you on his shoulders when it comes to building these bridges with donald trump. i think he clearly i think does not really have an interest in a good relationship with chancellor merkel in germany in some ways unfortunately i think he sees chancellor merkel as an ally of former president obama and trump has really made it almost a personal crusade to differentiate himself from president obama in every way possible but given that i think that mcallen has worked very carefully with

chancellor merkel merkel in germany with with prime minister may in the united kingdom and even with latin reputed in russia to work with each of these countries in order to have a better relationship with president trump and he is perhaps the only person on the international stage who is willing to go so far in building an effective and really successful relationship with the u.s. president who otherwise is under so much fire around the world mccrone has said that he had success and in convincing donald trump not to pull a u.s. presence out of syria the white house pushed back against that a little bit but nevertheless if that is the case do you think that will have any success convincing trump that in spite of the rhetoric he's had that he should stick with the iran nuclear deal. i think it depends what president mccrone has to offer i think the importance of their meeting both tonight the private dinner that they're having at mount vernon which is

a true honor that very few presidents have both stowed on foreign leaders as well as the one on one meeting that president mccrone will have with trump tomorrow these are important opportunities for president mccollum to present his case to show what the negotiators have done in clear terms of why this is important for for france in terms of its national security and why it benefits the united states i think it will depend very much on the case that mccollum presents to trump i'm not sure that trump has made a final decision on the iran nuclear deal and even if he has he doesn't have to act on it immediately if he's looking at it in terms of political his political calculation here in the united states that really doesn't become an issue in till november with the midterm elections trump does not have to act on it now and he could return the favor to mccrone to not embarrass him so quickly after a trip to not pull out of the deal entirely at this point but i think it will very much depend on what president mccraw and house to present to president trump

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 it 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 that you tube 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 cruz 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. tens and thousands of armenians are celebrating the resignation of the prime minister search sarkies in a stepping down after almost two weeks of anti-government protests parents had accused him of a power grab problem forestay walker reports in the capital year of on. the tension turns to celebration after eleven days of street protests. against prime minister. it was a humiliating to say. the band who has clung to power in the for the soviet republic for a decade on monday he was to preserve the peace he said just hours after. joining the crowds. we know that the country has been suffering specifically under the rule of the. mandates of the president with absolute lack of institutional freedom

so be it the judicial be it the the dia police 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. 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 point 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

the fall of the soviet union since then going through all sorts of ups ups and downs and just going through all sorts of disappointment that disenchantment after a long time now that if you don't empower on the country and began to leave greece tonight the question now is what's next i think you will have a transition government in which the opposition leader will play a major role and its primary task will be to organize the parliamentary elections that's going to be very critical during this past decade to decade i will say one of the stuck between armenia was the trust in the government we had legitimacy of problem because of our last election and it would be extremely important that we conduct reimplanted election so that people will have trust in the next government

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 oh our. you know 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 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 is the council member that administers them. in all resolutions there's a view very clear passage where it says. these sanctions are not meant to have adverse negative effects on the people of deep. 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 jas by al-jazeera pyongyang. jordan is home

maintain interest in funding these very important programs but the reality is on the ground there we've seen increasing vulnerability use of the most of children educating children is seen as a long term economic investment in jordan and at the centers all nationalities are coming together and learning to get along natasha getting al-jazeera on. at least ten people have been injured in more than one hundred detained on the break island of lesbos after fighting broke out between locals and migrants riot police had to intervene to separate the two sides earlier local set bans on fire during a demonstration against two hundred asylum seekers camped out on the island's main square. writers and musicians in south sudan are struggling with the absence of copyright laws in the country and that's forced many to produce their material abroad even more going to ports in juba.
