4:01 pm
this is al jazeera. hello i'm daryn jordan this is the al-jazeera news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes the iran nuclear deal is expected to be top of the agenda when the french president meets donald trump at the white house shortly and iran's leader sends a warning. an attack all i'm telling those in the white house that if they did not leave out today commitments iranian government will react firmly. a senior who three political leader with a twenty million dollars bounty on his head is killed in a saudi that airstrike in yemen plus. he just started getting everybody man here every single person on the sidewalk anybody in israel you would at least in toronto search for a motive after a driver plows into a crowd of pedestrians killing at least ten people. and going back to school
4:02 pm
thousands of syrian children displaced by war find new classrooms in jordan. we begin this news in iraq where president hassan rouhani has warned the united states of severe consequences if it withdraws from the twenty fifteen nuclear agreement rouhani was speaking to crowds during a live t.v. address to mock national army day he said iran was prepared for all scenarios as the may twelve deadline approaches for donald trump to decide whether to keep the deal. an attack on a i'm telling those in the white house that if they did not leave out today commitments iran. will react firmly if anyone betrays the deal base should know that they would face severe consequences meanwhile the french president i'm on your mark was doing his best to persuade trump not to withdraw he's on a three day state visit to the u.s. where talks are expected to center on the obama era agreement helen fisher reports
4:03 pm
from the white house. before getting don't to work as a politician and a statesman emanuel mccrone decided to be taking the opportunity of a sunny spring day in washington to walk to the lincoln memorial the french president arrived a few hours earlier with a warm greeting but a clear agenda we will have your board needed to discuss a lot of bilateral issues and to discuss about our security about trade. and a lot of. very important for our countries and beyond our two countries at the white house he was welcomed for the first official state visit of the trump presidency donald trump gets on well with the man you're mccraw 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 tariffs on european goods the white house press secretary seemed to indicate there was little chance of change on iran front that the president's been extremely clear
4:04 pm
that he thinks it's a bad deal that certainly has not changed and speaking in canada become acting u.s. secretary of state things the nuclear deal is at risk because of iran's actions the united states has significant concerns with iran with its bliss and did ballistic missiles program its 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 isn't thought compliance but he warns the u.s. 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 most vernon george washington's home 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. when the
4:05 pm
tasha butler is standing by for us in paris will speak to her in just a bit but first let's cross to kimberly how tos at the white house kimberly so donald trump's under growing pressure to keep the iran deal alive is him on your microlight to convince him to stick with it. well certainly there are many not just in the united states but around the world that are hoping that emmanuel macron the french president will be successful when he meets for this visit certainly preparing for a rival ceremony on the south lawn of the white house as we speak this is essential e a bit of a rescue mission if you will because well there is a very warm relationship between the two men that has been extensively documented what we've seen and alan fischer discussed in his report there is this trump administration essentially laying the groundwork to leave the j c p o n a we've seen the recent addition of the new national security advisor john bolton as well
4:06 pm
as mike pump to be the next secretary of state both men have been very staunch critics of the deal believing that it needs to be in some way repaired or fixed so there's an awful lot of hope right now with regard to the european negotiations that are taking place that the european leaders may be able to extract some concessions from iran but certainly those chances are slim in advance of that mid may deadline that the trumpet may ministrations put in place so what we expect is that emanuel macron derren will stress the importance of staying in this twenty fifteen agreement but you've got to remember too there's a lot of ego at play here donald trump campaigned extensively saying that this was a flawed deal that this needs to be repaired that what his predecessor barack obama put in place has really hurt the united states so there is a certain aspect that emanuel mitt macro may not be able to overcome and that is this sort of ego aspect that donald trump feels he needs to leave simply because he said he would do it but again emanuel mccraw likely to tell donald trump there is
4:07 pm
no plan b. if this agreement does not stay in place argument as we speak and you are seeing live pictures there from the front of the white house various dignitaries arriving and shaking hands with u.s. vice president mike pence i guess awaiting the arrival now. let's cross over natasha buckley who is live for us in paris natasha so how is the model month trip to the u.s. being seen there in france. well people are certainly watching it very closely you know those pictures of the tricolor draped across washington we see the two presidential couples on our television screens here but you know in france opinion polls suggest that donald trump is one of the most unpopular american leaders for the french you know a former reality t.v. star former real estate tycoon it is really the antithesis to what most french people consider as presidential so the relationship this so-called special
4:08 pm
relationship between trump and mike ross something of a curiosity thing they both came to be presidents as political outsiders so to speak but they can be more poles apart i mean a man omar calls a form a socialist he's a centrist he's pro europe he likes to take a multilateral approach to things donald trump's a conservative he's a protectionist and he wants to put america first so there are those in france are that are very concerned or worried about perhaps about omak or being too close to the trumpet ministration on the other hand you have many people who see him out on my course simply being pragmatic they believe the french president when he says it is important to have a good relationship between france and the u.s. they are traditional allies and it's much better to have friends rather than enemies and there are others there are there's a section of course of french society that would agree with some of trump's policies on tightening up immigration controls and protectionism so i think really
4:09 pm
we have divided opinion here and people really be waiting to see what comes out of some of those later meetings between trump and macro or an attach a bottle of in person tasha thank you let's talk now to jacques rely on he's a senior research fellow with the global policy institute he joins us via skype from law in france emmanuel micro has a huge task on his hands to convince donald trump to stick with the iran nuclear deal this is a bold move by the french president asad likely to play out for micron do you think . from a call come in great to that's what you wanted already by him being driven in fishery of the first state visit in trump's mandate means that france has now a key role in world affairs in international affairs and already is appears as the new european leader devoiced before it used to be and get america or now that get america and terrorism
4:10 pm
a traditional british ally have been sidelined because it breaks it down because of the length of negotiation for forming government macaws says a new approach in e.g. to implement the vision of due world that he has you know is that we live in a very difficult and it is a den shuras where there were is no longer do you need. twentieth century when america rules to show now we live in america to put a world where conflicts can about it we see it done so is very keen on talking to everyone and we've seen these two going to trump but you know first is already talked to. she being. a c c and my cold isn't judge intern rafa's of countries you're only interested in audi interact. it's a national seat let me ask you. john what what sort of relationship do the two men
4:11 pm
have i mean both trump and might draw a mavericks i guess in a way but does trump respect not going up to listen to him on iran. i think it respects him as a person as a president as in my view. they're going to but he would have thought that these two guys who had never been elected before would become to prison of their respective countries or there's a respect and mccool respects the united states if you do you know just a. general vision of the world that he has this vision cannot be implemented without a fully involved. united state to be involved from you know the trouble is in addition he is going to try to convince it i don't think we have much of an impact but already we've seen something. it is certain way some decisions we've seen him over syria where the bombings. want you to. drop.
4:12 pm
all kinds of me sighs and we see the destruction very limited just one side we don't really know where the. on the twenty. may. decide whether they put us out of the deal of iran and john guys we're talking to you we're watching live pictures here on our screens arrival of the french president and his wife at the white house being met by donald trump and the first lady michael has clearly taken the lead as you say from other european leaders on the iran issue so will his european colleagues like to raise them a like angle or merkel feel they've been sidelined with micron being seen by many perhaps as the new european leader in a way. yes it probably feels even the. same germany has now become a diplomatic and the jury or voice in europe today is imminent michael mccaul
4:13 pm
he's wants to be a honus broker of dissent and defend european interests one of the d's. that one of the things you have to convince where you might be big more lucky is on the issue of trade barriers we know that america wanted to impose trade very on steves and that you mean young coming from europe has already managed to postpone it but we know in defense of in a few days time with. the trump. down because what mccall is trying to tell trump is that it's very crucial you don't have trade wars with allies as you said and do waste as important. as. to defend you know the deeper world with very tough leaders and it is absolutely crucial. america doesn't become too is your issue is his leadership and that's why for example. on the fact that. you're not just said shouldn't put out of syria and
4:14 pm
leave to. the hands of russia iran israel and saudi arabia you talk about other foreign policy issues aren't like the trade barriers the steel tariffs but there are other things syria africa do you think microns in france is likely to become clearer going forward on those topics. think of the issue of. africa both countries see eye to eye and it's always been the case in a case of this head it was already the case with or and then obama america appreciating lady the role that durai france played and francis is taken seriously by america for one reason is that it's full of sheer reasons member of the security council as a nominee which is if she's ready to use the president in france doesn't need donna materia prudence why didn't need
4:15 pm
a parliament your poor father strikes on syria or on the need of interior prove or you know the two really true react in ninety and that is something that every can you appreciate and that's what contributes to making france do key diplomatic in europe talk along thank you very much for talking to us as well. now it's a conflict that's already killed more than ten thousand people in the past three years and cause what the united nations says is the world's worst humanitarian crisis but now there are signs of an escalation in the war in yemen more than thirty people were killed in a saudi air strike on a wedding party in the western province of hushing on sunday and another airstrike on tuesday killed nine people at a gas station elsewhere in the same province well the saudis released footage of an airstrike from last week that killed a who the second in command sala are some of saudi arabia had placed a twenty million dollars bounty on his head with his in turn have intensified attacks on saudi territory firing an average of one ballistic missile
4:16 pm
a day over the last ten days and the latest attack on monday targeted and around oil facility michaela 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 aftermath of the airstrikes 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 aftermath. 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 hospital they have no mercy towards children they've been killed without any remorse says this man. a spokesman for the
4:17 pm
saudi led coalition says it will carry out a full investigation the u.n. has said 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 strike huth the political council head. was killed in an apparent missile attack last thursday he barely. with sorrow and
4:18 pm
sadness i mooned to our yemeni people the did martyr president. he was killed on the nineteenth of april with six of his companions he was targeted in her day to province on his way back from a meeting with local leaders by three airstrikes launched by the warplanes of the us saudi aggression 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 well but our own is a yemen project coordinator for the international human rights group or previous also a former member of yemen's national dialogue and joins us via skype from london but on this seems to be a clear escalation in violence in the war in yemen let's talk first about the killing of the hoof the political leader sol out summat how much of a blow is this to the who thing is another who if he is then likely to react much
4:19 pm
more aggressively do you think. yes i think the sunnis will tries to to to escalate and it's worth mentioning that a lot of them are himself had vowed i think ten days ago that he that they are going to acquire a ballistic missile every. day so i think. there will be and there will be and there will be an escalation however this is definitely a big hit to the to those who see the movement and it is a big hits because there who sees it quite quite crucial to their movement is that they regulate the flow of information no one knows how their leadership quite quite moved so they depend on the information being circulated within a very close close circle so i think this indicates that there have been compromised the highest to the highest level and then the fact the movements of the rest of their leadership and it comes in
4:20 pm
a pattern that they have been and many field commanders. affiliated to that who seem to have been killed have been killed lately however assad has some ideas the most senior to be suited to have been killed from that he sees until today and as you say received this articulation in the technology of a number of missiles being fired by the who seems towards saudi arabia and this is a worrying increase in the violence isn't it. yes i think. he has he's well tries to fire more more more more missile as they want to they want to ensure that this incident does not affect some or all of their men on the on the on the battle fronts also in it's important to know that saddam has some odd was killed in her day that he was there to meet with the locals to ensure that there are more to boost their moral and ensure that's actually a headache that does not fall next to the hands of the of the of the governments government forces on the on the on the coalition so this could also mean an
4:21 pm
indication that the on her day there could be could be could be next and as always by rights the civilians who are paying the highest price for the warming of the last few days dozens have been killed in coalition airstrikes despite reminders from the u.n. to all sides about their obligations to protect civilian life people are still dying. yes indeed i mean they did itself have witness is just that because this is the is the overshadowing of the many incidents happening at the same time many people have been been noticing what a day itself have witnessed many civilian casualties over the past just over the past two weeks and unfortunately i think an escalation this big means that there are going to be more civilian civilian casualties and no one know when it's going to when it's going to end and the incident yesterday was condemned by many by by many sides but that doesn't mean that the war is going to end all the airstrikes are going to stop anytime soon all right thank you very much indeed. bunch more
4:22 pm
ahead on the news hour including. now that protest as a force. on the part of the fabric we look at what's changing bangladesh's garment industry. and an emotional victory for the police in the n.h.l. playoff series against the boston bruins details coming up in the sports a little bit later. now the police in toronto are questioning a suspect after a van was driven onto a crowded sidewalk killing ten people and injuring fifteen others officers say it appears to have been a deliberate attack but so far there's no link to any organization or a wider plot than your lack reports. bystanders watched in horror as a rented van was driven at speed from a busy street onto a sidewalk full of people shoppers commuters students and residents were among the

4:24 pm
this particular point in time there's nothing. that doesn't affect the national security footprint we are looking very strong to what the exact motive motivation was for this particular incident to take place and at the end of the day we will have a. count as to what the conclusion of this is police say the suspect is a twenty five year old student called alex from north of toronto he has no criminal record and it's not believed he's part of any larger plot involving national security toronto's mayor is calling for unity and healing i hope that we will as a city remind ourselves of the fact around the world for being inclusive and for being accepting and understanding and considerate. united in standing in solidarity especially with those who have fallen victim to this terrible tragedy today a huge police investigation involving national security officials and other government agencies has begun a clearer picture of this attack may emerge soon but for now this is

4:38 pm
from jonah holly joins us live from london journal so what more do we know about alexander code and what's he been saying to the committee. well it was interesting testimony from him he's the man of course who built the app that was used to harvest the data of hundreds of thousands of users of facebook but at the time in two thousand and fourteen he was also allowed to harvest the data from all of their friends and that gave him a magnificent dataset of some eighty seven million people which was then passed on allegedly to cambridge analytical to help them build their their micro targeted models to help influence voters principally in the u.s. election while i was on a cogen insists that he did nothing wrong that everybody knew what he was doing no one complained he says he didn't breach any terms of service of facebook he claims even that the work it was doing would have been of no use for building microtargeting models or whatsoever and therefore of no use in influencing the election and he says he's being scapegoated facebook under pressure and my own
4:39 pm
cambridge analytical of course facebook calls him a liar and a fraud his own colleagues at cambridge university say he was only in it for the money at cambridge analytic contradicting their whistleblower christopher wiley and others say they never took any data from him in the first place but the committee delving a little deeper looking at mystic opens potential motivations and methodology suggested that he possibly was motivated by commercial interests not necessarily in having been paid in money at least but having been paid by keeping the data he was able to collect and that of course had massive commercial value later on or might have done to take a listen to this exchange. the sense of the payments. apart from the soon to be thirty thousand for your role in this was to keep the data exactly much you could then use who in your academic life or perhaps that was part of the deal that mean that was the deal i was rewarded with data ok you say you have to say that you got
4:40 pm
some. university ethics approvals for all your academic work yes or. did you have university approval for for the deal for the commercial it's not yours so there's no real now commision for a company to go out and seek out this approval for a commercial deal of the university over say is over the negativity is this side of the event question about the methodology specifically the extent to which people who use the app that he built were made aware that their data might be used for purposes other than research possibly even for politics and the influencing of political elections and he accepted that perhaps some missed that misleading language or rather as he called it extremely broad language built into the app but he said that at the time in two thousand and fourteen it was widely accepted in silicon valley and elsewhere that this was the nature of data collected that it could be used freely for all sorts of different purposes and was being done so by
4:41 pm
in numerable companies he said he felt that people were aware that data was being used that they didn't mind or didn't care he says he now accept that that is not the case john up thank you well another social media platform that has been under pressure to change its policies to safeguard its users has published a report today you tube says it's deleted eight million extreme video clips in the last three months of twenty seventeen well this was a promise made in december to give its users more transparency into how the online video sharing website handles abuse and decides what uploads will be removed you tube has been struggling for years to police extreme content. every minute about three hundred hours of video is uploaded to you tube now uses and abuse algorithm that flags any content containing extremism. or spam.
