the iran nuclear deal is expected to be top of the agenda as the french president meets donald trump at the white house iran's leader has already sent a warning. and a tell all i'm telling those in the white house that if they did not live up today commitments the iranian government will react firmly. follow on down jordan this is our jazeera live from doha also coming up dozens die in separate saudi led airstrikes in yemen while details emerge about the most senior rebel killed so far. you just start hearing everybody man here every single person on the sidewalk anybody in israel you would it toronto police search for a motive after a driver plows into a crowd of protesters killing at least ten people.

welcome to the program the official welcoming ceremony has just finished at the white house for the french president emanuel macro is on a three day state visit to the u.s. the first of any foreign leaders since donald trump took office well the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal is expected to dominate talks urging the u.s. president not to pull out of the obama era agreement ahead of his deadline on may twelfth to decide well earlier on tuesday iran's president warned the u.s. dire consequences if it withdraws from a twenty fifteen nuclear accord. an attack on i'm telling those in the white house that if they did not leave out today commitments the iranian government will react firmly if anyone betrays the deal they should know that they would face of the consequences al-jazeera is kimberly halkett joins us live now from washington d.c. kimberly so a rousing reception for the french president at the white house talk us through just how significant this trip is. this is critically important

for both countries and it was really underscored by the fact that the united states and the trumps of particular have really stopped it as spared no expense and sort of honoring that relationship that spanned some two centuries stare and we just heard from the french president as well as the u.s. president in the south lawn of the white house there were cannons there are hundreds of militaries members doing sort of the military welcome on the lawn of the white house but then things got rather serious when we saw an enormous number of war moments between the two leaders and their wives certainly beyond some of the underscoring of shared bonds because of their shared history emanuel mccraw especially got to some of the meat of what he wants to talk with donald trump about during this visit in fact the two leaders have gone into the white house now we're expecting them to pop up in the oval office at any time where they will begin their

bilateral meeting and their number of key issues that will be discussed we certainly here in al-jazeera talked at length about how in many ways emanuel mccraw is on a bit of a rescue mission in terms of trying to encourage the united states to remain in the j.c. p.o. way or of the deal that was negotiated amongst the united states six world powers to limit iran's nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of sanctions so he certainly talked about that encouraging and underscoring the importance of that linking it almost to the negotiations that are coming in the future with regard to donald trump meeting with the north korean leader kim jong un but there were other moments too that were almost surprisingly awkward in terms of the fact that emanuel really sort of turned a bit of a blind eye to all of the pageantry around him to drill down on some of the deeper differences in the sort of relationship between the two leaders for example talking about. importance of making sure that the united states is here to some of the

global deals pointing to the fact that the united states has pulled out of the paris climate change agreement and then also sort of saying that there is a need to battle aggressive nationalism which was certainly the foundation of donald trump's presidential campaign and particularly some of his policies in the early days of his presidency so certainly there has been a lot of pomp and pageantry but now things seem to be getting serious among the two world leaders can be away from iran nuclear deal what else will the french president be doing on this trip. well certainly what we have right now is the bilateral meeting that will take place then the leaders along with their wives will be having a joint press availability that happens at fifteen g.m.t. so certainly will be watching for that because that is where we are going to get the most of stance of information in terms of what is being discussed right now between the two nations but then things turn and get a little bit fun again around twenty three g.m.t.

there is going to be the first state dinner here at the white house being held by the trumps and then this is certainly an highly anticipated event in the united states not only do celebrities often attend but this is an opportunity for malani a trump as first lady to showcase some of her skills as a hostess certainly this is something that we talked about for days to come around the world to china that she selected the menu those sorts of things so the visit will and much like it started on a very high note a very regal note but certainly as it stands right now things are substantial and we're certainly going to watch to see what agreements the two leaders might be able to strike in the meetings that are taking place in the oval office right now kimberly thank you. now it's a conflict this already killed more than ten thousand people in the past three years and caused 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 led airstrikes on

a wedding party in the western province of hush on sunday and another airstrike on tuesday killed nine people at a gas station elsewhere in the same province where the saudis released footage of an air strike from last week that killed the who the second in command saw al sunna on saudi arabia had placed a twenty million dollars bounty on his head on the hoof he's in turn have intensified their attacks on saudi territory firing an average of one ballistic missile a day over the last ten days well its attack on monday targeted and iran co all facility al jazeera is 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 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 off the math. 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 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 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 saudi led air strike political council here. was killed in an apparent missile attack last thursday the burly. with sorrow and sadness i mooned to our yemeni people that did martyr president. 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 theall 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 syrian government forces

and their allies on the ground have intensified their operation in south damascus the army is trying to regain all the ground in the capital its campaign there began last week after we took his computer i still controls one of the pockets being targeted by the army next to another held by rebel factions rebels and two other on the plates northeast of damascus surrendered in recent days. of buses transferring fighters and their families from one of the enclaves have begun arriving in northern syria they were displaced from the color moon region and moved to opposition territory under a deal with the government. well the u.n. special envoy for syria says the recent government gains won't bring the country and it closer to peace staffan de mistura told the e.u. donor conference that the northern italy province where many of those rebels are being bussed to could become the new aleppo we have seen in the last few weeks days . we have seen it with our eyes that made it three games territorial

gauge military escalation just not to bring a political solution have not brought any change on the political on the contrary we are going through a very difficult moment the truth is that everyone has the political solution and that is what we need to work on any time for a high diploma shellfish. commission a general of the united nations relief and works agency joins us via skype from brussels the u.n. has called on all sides to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure how feasible is this given the intensity of the fighting at the moment well it's very clearly the biggest problem that the entire world faces with the syrian conflict is that there has been such high disregard and disrespect for the protection of civilians in general as we speak one of the neighborhoods where elliston refugee has historically lived in the camp of the cells of damascus is under fire again

heavy bombing and fighting affecting once again about the population inside the camp that has and you would use that siege but also presence of armed groups at least i says in the camp so we are extremely concerned for the remaining salute the one thousand people of the original one hundred sixty thousand people and palestine refugees who used to inhabit the camp before the war and there is talk of humanitarian assistance for those who have stayed behind in syria what about the psychological treatment and trauma support for those people. well you know one of the things that is for me the most extraordinary symbol of this conflict but also of younger itself is that we have nine hundred boys and girls in brusque unions who every single day crossed over the past two years a checkpoint known as the checkpoint of death just simply to reach the school on the other side because they were not prepared to give up on their education

education is probably one of the most important things to preserve it precisely in relation to psycho social and psychological trauma as there is no other wiggle absorbant them to protect the spaces for schools education and the preservation of some form of hope and dignity in the middle of such a devastated that lands that young is and they use your work as a symbol for what palestinian refugees and of course millions of syrians have been and are enduring in this merciless conflict appeared just talk us through some of the major challenges that your agency is facing on the ground. well you know one of the biggest is of course the preservation of the focus on palestine refugees because of their unique situation inside syria what i mean with this is we're dealing with another generation of palestinians that are going through the trauma of displacement of loss of relatives friends neighborhoods and livelihoods and you know that this sits burning deeply in the history of this community since one thousand four hundred sixty seven years and yet another traumatic event in chapter

in their existence the other one is of course security because in order to reach people that roughly four hundred forty thousand remaining palestine refugees in syria of course it requires a lot of perseverance but also taking risks we have the last eighteen staff members since the beginning of the war we have twenty five missing in syria they are palestine refugees themselves and i think the world last will recognize in years that we cannot take that type of commitment for granted and then at the same time face funding shortfalls that we do time and time again and this is really something that's very important for me to crumble thank you for talking to al jazeera was the go well also to come and al-jazeera including we'll tell you why a backtrack on pension changes isn't enough for protest as in the current one. part of the fabric we look at what's changing bangladesh's garment industry five years on from a factor disaster on that. welcome

back we've got some fairly heavy rain affecting parts of central and western china at the moment chain do see some heavy rain that rains clear from brighton additions here and is fine all along the east coast now the heavy showers also extending across parts of vietnam through into laos and some of that to be quite heavy and come in quite a large area neuer will see showers on thursday to elsewhere maybe the rain returning towards han so let's head then into south asia where here main feature is the heat we've seen a disturbance move through over the last few days that's cleared and then temperatures started to rise once again so across many parts of northern india and he's been a case of trying to keep as cool as possible as temperatures are coming at the wrong side of forty degrees celsius and that certainly looks to be the case once

again delhi there forty one my poor forty one and all crosses northern swathe forty about the order of the day as we head into thursday and see not a great deal of change the heat very much in place elsewhere just not side chance of a shower effect in sri lanka let's move across into raby in peninsular not quite as high up here but indeed more cloud around during the course of wednesday process one or two shows across the arabia probably rather cloudy at times for dough but dry with highs of thirty. the scene for us when they're on line once is american sign in yemen that peace is always possible about it not what happens not because the situation is complicated but because no one cares or if you join us on sat there are people that there are choosing between buying medication and eating basis is a dialogue i want to get in one more comment because this is someone who's an activist and has posted

a story join the global conversation at this time on al-jazeera. welcome back a quick reminder of the top stories this hour u.s. president donald trump has officially welcomed his french counterpart in money to the white house. three day state visit where talks are expected to center on the obama era nuclear agreement with iran earlier iran's president warned of severe consequences if trump cancel the deal. the u.n. secretary general has condemned an airstrike on a wedding party in yemen more than thirty people were killed in the attack by saudi forces in the western province of on sunday and in another airstrike last week the

second in command of the infield rebels was killed. syrian government forces and their allies on the ground of intensified their operation in south damascus the army is trying to retake all the ground near the capital eisel controls one of the pockets being targeted by the army next to another held by rebel factions. the man suspected of killing ten people and wounding fifteen in toronto off the van was driven through a busy sidewalk is expected to appear in court any minute twenty five year old was arrested after a standoff with canadian police officer to say the incident appeared to be deliberate well done a lot joins us live now from toronto down there just bring us up to date on the police investigation of what the suspect is being charged with. jaron we're just outside the courtroom where the suspect twenty five year old alec has just appeared in front of the justice of the peace this just happened less than twenty four hours ago this incident so this was a pretty hastily arranged court appearance just to get him charged and detained so

the crown attorney here the prosecutor announced that he was going to be charged with ten counts of first degree murder that's pretty much the strongest murder charge here in canada each one would carry a life sentence and the attempted murder charges so far thirteen laid against him now this was just in front of the justice of the peace as the legal procedures the for maladies get up and running the suspect doesn't even have his own lawyer yet there were just prosecutors in there in the justice of the peace ordered him detained for a video hearing on may tenth next month what we don't know yet is any detail of what may have motivated this attack there's been no police information basically given since last night about any of that any of that kind of detail in fact a couple of kilometers just to the east of me is the crime scene it's more than a kilometer long it's one of the largest ever in toronto and police have closed down a big chunk of the area there and they're investigating to see what they can find

and meanwhile of course lots of medical work lots of trauma counseling going on for the many victims of this as the city wakes up on the day after the worst mass attack like this in its history i don't know how is this incident playing out with older people there in toronto and the media. it's you know there was a certain strange calmness and counter-intuitive calmness about the whole thing especially since the police officer who made the arrest of the suspect and everyone there are many people have seen the video basically had a gun trained on the suspect who seem to be holding a gun him self at least on the video the cell phone video that was shot but managed to arrest him get him handcuffed with very little violence or brutality no shots quite a quite a sight people have been mourning there have been all sorts of tributes paid memorials have been set up around the site but you know the city is getting up today traumatized for sure shocked probably not taking it all in yet but people

seem to be getting on with it and heeding the calls of the mayor the prime minister justin trudeau and others to carry on with life to mourn and support the victims in every way they can but to feel safe because as we keep hearing from the federal government here this doesn't seem to have a connection to what they call national security and they're saying that the suspect himself doesn't seem to have a criminal record or any links into any larger plots conspiracy or any sort of online radicalization as they put it in one of the news conferences last night but it is early days there's a lot of information to come out a lot of forensic diving into online activity and things like that and what's going on in his home and his schooling and so on so we have to find out a great deal more before we can actually give the detail i'm sure people want to hear daniel thank you. cambridge university academic connected to the facebook data misuse scandal has appeared before a british parliamentary committee alexander linked to the u.k. based cambridge analytic on its accused of improperly accessing the information of

nineteen million users through facebook that jonah hall has more from london. well xander kogan is the sort of missing link if you like the middleman between facebook and the cambridge analytic of the cambridge psychology academic who produced the app that was used to extract all of this data and information from facebook users crucially not just the users who downloaded the app for the exchange of a couple of dollars each but also all of their friends accumulating this vast data set of information which he then passed on in a separate arrangement to cambridge analytical which they used to develop their psychographic models allegedly effective in perhaps weighing the u.s. presidential election well alexander kogan insists he did nothing wrong he's being targeted he says scapegoated by both facebook and cambridge and a little girl who claim that they weren't entirely aware of how the information was

gathered and b what it use it was eventually going to be put to the denies all of that and the committee probing his motivation and methodology looking at his perhaps commercial interests or motivations he had a couple of companies that he'd set up to use personal data for commercial purposes he was paid indeed for this app not in money but by being allowed to keep the data essentially to be able to use it in future for commercial purposes and then also his methodology the committee suggesting he wasn't entirely honest and open with users of the after the misrepresented its purpose by not making it specific that it was going to have political uses later on he said well looking back i should have perhaps been more critical about the way that the app was presented the way it was all set up but his essential defense here is that for years and years across the lagoon valley and all the social media platforms it was widely accepted that data was once collected free for use in

a variety of spheres be it academic commercial or political that he said was business as usual normal practice which is what he assumed was going on at the time this is back in two thousand and fourteen or so. a french billion is being questioned by police in paris in connection with corruption allegations in africa investment company chief executive vincent both ways is detained along with several employees the french media says investigators are focusing on suspicious shipping terminal deals in togo and guinea. egypt's former anticorruption chief has been sentenced to five years in prison by a military court on charges of insulting the armed forces has some going in was arrested in february for saying in a t.v. interview that presidential candidate general sami annan had documents that incriminated the state's leaders and it was fired by president abdel fatah sisi in twenty sixteen after claiming corruption cost egypt up to seventy five billion dollars his lawyers say they'll appeal against sentence anti-government protesters

. it's been described as the worst industrial disaster in bangladesh is history on april twenty fourth two thousand and thirteen more than eleven hundred people were crushed to death in two thousand injured when an eight story building collapsed in an industrial suburb of the capital dhaka. the majority of the victims were women working in garment factories in the run applause a building. they were making clothes for a well known brands including bennett's and and primal an investigation found the workers had complained about the cracks in the walls despite warnings the building was unsafe survivors say they were forced to work regardless of their five years on and family members of some of the victims gathered at the disaster site demanding justice hannah begun says her daughter's body was never found it wasn't like let my daughter never returned from work i keep looking for her but

i have no idea where her body is she used to be the main earner in the family i don't have a son to this day there is no justice. no around eighty percent of the seventy five million garment workers worldwide a women's rights groups say they often have no chance of negotiation wages are abused exploited and forced to work in safe conditions. the tragedy in dhaka led to an agreement between some clothing brands and unions designed to better protect the bunga dishy workers since then around two thousand factories have been inspected and nearly three million workers trained in fire safety with a monthly minimum wage of around sixty five dollars. remains well below the world bank's global poverty line of eighty five dollars a report by a u.s. based rights organization concludes that files thems of garment factories in bangladesh remain a dangerous places to work at the n.y.u.
