zero. and i'm richelle carey this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes trying to save their own nuclear deal the french president proposes reworking the agreement to address concerns about tehran. and the u.n. calls for an investigation into the deaths of anti-government protesters in nicaragua. and of a rare meeting between the leaders of north and south korea the report from both sides of the demilitarized zone. and fighting malaria that a campaign against a disease that kills millions of people most of them in africa. francis proposed negotiating a new deal with iran the bills on the two thousand and fifteen agreement to curb its nuclear program president made the pitch to u.s.

president who is threatening to pull out of that deal across in washington for a three day state visit. and what he called the unbreakable friendship between france and the u.s. at a state dinner at the white house really how could us more from washington d.c. . and a labyrinth military welcome on the south lawn of the white house as u.s. president donald trump greeted france's president in value all wrong. what if here is to be a warm friendship was on full display trump even somewhat oddly perhaps deciding to wipe some dandruff off of a crohn's shoulder we have to make room for years but as the pair of barked on the substance of their bilateral meeting from had a stern warning for iran. they restart their nuclear program they will have bigger problems and they have ever had before his statement underscores the leader's key foreign policy differences truck favors was drawing from the iran nuclear deal as

one of the signatories to it mccraw and wants to preserve the twenty fifteen agreement to limit tehran's nuclear powers before may deadline on whether to pull the u.s. out or not trump wants his concerns addressed those include a plan to stop iran's ballistic missile testing and limit iran's influence in iraq yemen levet on and syria a chronic greed they may need to address those issues to keep the deal alive celia home news on iran we disagree on the j.c. but i believe we can come up with something that can deal with the fundamental issue of the j.c. which is the nuclear issue but also deal with these other three issues that are included. trump again suggested gulf nations need to make a larger financial investment in syria's future stability and security following the defeat of eisel the countries that are there that you all know very

well are immensely wealthy they're going to have to pay for this but the meeting appeared to do little to ease fears of a looming trade war with no sign trump had agreed to exempt the european union from tariffs on steel and aluminum imports set to take effect on may first we have the very first issue on trade which is overcapacity is still in a limb and it doesn't come from europe and not even from france the meeting between u.s. president donald trump and french president emanuel mccraw has highlighted key policy differences between the two leaders their divisions mccraw may address on wednesday before a joint session of the u.s. congress can really help get al-jazeera at the white house. president trump warned tehran of bigger problems if it restarts its nuclear program meanwhile the iranian foreign minister said his country may abandon the deal if the u.s. pulls out you've said that the united states has not lived up to its to its side of

the bargain that is to its commitments to lift certain sanctions not to impede. economic relations between iran and its economic partners it has done all of that it has prevented. basic. threatened companies from engaging with it on so the economic benefits of the of the nuclear have not been delivered that had been promised to parsi joins us on skype from portland maine he is founder and president of the iranian american council thank you very much for joining us so one of the i don't know suggestions is the right word but one of the ideas that been floated that donald trump says that he would like is for part of this a renegotiated deal to include reigning in iran for lack of a better word their involvement in other countries lebanon syria etc is is that a nonstarter is there do you see

a direct line between that and a in this nuclear agreement. the only way the united states would be able to have an additional agreement that would also include a european was another's that would address regional issues which would be syria yemen etc would be to first respect and here to the existing the you by either now or violating the deal or even quitting the deal and then expecting that everyone else would come back to the table to negotiate with the united states again is just profoundly naive and even if trump actually wanted to have an additional agreement i'm not convinced that he does but if he wanted to i'm pretty sure he would realize that this is not the route to go about to get it so you're saying that if possibly there were different tactics maybe there would be a way to open some sort of dialogue look the nuclear deal had the great promise that if all sides and here to it there were plenty of opportunities to be able to

go forward and start negotiating and having a dialogue about other issues but in s.s. it taitz first respecting the initial deal they initially deal is what creates the confidence in the trust that is needed between the different parties to be able to men than to are there in some cases tougher issues but if the united states is pulling out of the deal and currently is by admitting it is not creating any confidence not creating the basis that is needed in order to be able to address these other issues so considering the their rhetoric that comes from donald trump about this deal and now it seems like that iran might be taking it as is well do you think that someone like mandela macron can be some sort of mediator to tamp some of this down. potentially but it's very critical that any add on the truly is an add on deal meaning that the first deal needs to be respected and fully implemented before any out on can actually be put into effect and secondly it needs

to be deal linked from the preexisting deals so that we're not in a situation in which if the negotiations for an add on sales the dow would cause the failure of the existing deal because that would give donald trump the incentives and the opportunity to kill two deals in one by simply saw the targeting the negotiations on the add on it would be able to also kill the existing deal so there needs to be a clear and the linking of these two so the devil is really in the details here all about how macron is putting this forward right and may twelfth is the day will find out are the deadline for us to find out what donald trump's decision is trita parsi thanks for joining us appreciate it always thank you for having me play more head of the news hour including armenia members mass killings are on hold for one with this year's commemorations taking on new significance plus. is no. good the pharma descents or the center rather of the face big data scandal defends

monday this is now become about something more they are protesting against the president himself the minute the minute that's when they make it that their final seconds this protest is bigger than all the rest because people have grown tired people are worn out from the violation of rights rights of the people the violation of the constitution this was the vote that knocked over the glass as they say the president or take is now on his third consecutive term and has been accused of nepotism his wife is the vice president and for undermining democratic institutions to tighten his grip on power. his critics will now add to that list repression police have used heavy handed tactics in dealing with protesters close to thirty people have been killed among them offices themselves. others have been the timing of these relatives saying outside

a police station as they called for their loved ones to be released. what the president originally bullish in his response to the protests had on sunday struck a slightly more conciliatory tone let me turn the symbol to the incidents of violence that have happened i regret about we express solidarity with all the families whose loved ones have died from the violence. and then as you did i saw in the footage but after that address police rushed to university campus that has become the bastion of the protests the students occupying it fought back at least one was killed the man i am but i'm interacting the army afterwards they promise to carry on what they need is the backing of the country's powerful business community and the rest of the population. the president will be hoping his concessions are enough to dampen the anger. john home an. innocent woman as a c.e.o. . treat a political split

a cool risk consultancy pardon me she joins us from washington d.c. so vanessa let's let's first talk about what sparked this war was pushed back against these reforms to pensions is there some sort of reform needed in the pension system that will talk about how it's handled later but is there a place there that's or something that needs to be fixed. yes i mean nicaragua is not really doing well economically unfortunately this is a this is a combination of a number of factors and it does they do need to they need to they need to fix it the problem is from the perspective of the protesters is what caused it to last how it's being handled so they are seeking to it's over burn and there's too much poverty and the private sector feels that it's overburdened and it needs a bit of relief to what has happened is that the nicaraguan government has very

much but in cahoots with certain business leaders who have turned a blind eye to daniel ortega has increasingly dictatorial ways and and been striking deals and laws that benefit them and that benefit business so the latest was this was this pension reform that they wanted to cut back the amount of pension people get and also cut back the benefits that they get so the ratio is much worse for the poor and so the poor felt that this was a really negative of the deal on them that makes sense yeah absolutely absolutely so is there a way to put a lid back on this because it seems like the protesters almost feel unleashed is the guy in our story said it was what tipped the glass over. i think that's correct i think your reporter was absolutely correct that's that's exactly what has happened is that this is sort of the final bit of evidence of the poor which is most of me that they are being that the system is stacked against them that this

legislation that this was yet one more legislation that was in cahoots between a dictatorship in the business community and was was and is robbing that they had sort of allowed a seeding of governance rights in exchange for being taken care of and now they're not being taken care of and now everything has on the you know the control of the national assembly the supreme court the nepotism that his wife is the is the vice president the elimination of presidential terms and now they just want all of it out they want to kick out the system syllabus so to that point there's a lot of similarities about what's happening here what with it's happening at the venezuelan there were all obviously really fierce protests there but nicolas maduro hasn't gone anywhere he is still there what do you think is going to happen is these protests continue and nicaragua. i'm glad you brought up front to swallow

because i actually am from venus well and have spent two decades analyzing what has been happening in venezuela you know with first with chavis and then with my little you are exactly right that this is a proud and that's not by coincidence they are allies they are friends they were part of the alba system that was heavily funded by going to saw so when they got out were received a lot of money and funding and then just to cool support from the us what we've done as well as collapse that has gone down since one of the things putting the strain on the but the playbook of repression everything is the same the problem is the guy was not going to swallow you don't have you know all the oil deposits you don't have the great support of china you do have china and russia also well but not to the same extent you do in a swell and you don't have you know the international financial community propping it up through either the oil bonds or the or the sovereign bonds or other types of deals so they don't have the relief the economic relief valves that up until now

venice well has had also been it's what i is far more under the control of the cuban intelligence services and also the russian intelligence services even the so there were oppression machine is far more effective than nests thank you very much but i want to talk to ed and would like to add one thing if daniel ortega good if they succeed in getting him out i would watch for this going throughout the region that might make one to swallow for instance flare up again because what you're going to start seeing is a bit almost like an arab spring kind of dynamic in the region so i would keep an eye on that this won't be over absolutely well that's a good last for vanessa newman joining us from washington d.c. thank you. supporters of armenia's opposition are calling for more protests after a planned talks with the ruling party were canceled many want a transitional government and new elections after a prime minister resigned

a sense of thousands marched for a different course on tuesday to commemorate the mass killing of armenians from world war one auburn forestay walker has more from the. armenians were back on the streets of the capital. this time to commemorate the immediate victims of mass killings in one hundred fifteen by the ottoman turks it's an annual occasion but after weeks of street protests ending with monday's dramatic resignation of prime minister said assad and his cabinet the pilgrimage this year feels different if show for all the people more excited today's commemoration has an added level of significance. this is something completely different it's like people broke free of their chains. today armenians have gathered as they do every year to remember their past but for the last two weeks they have been gathering by the thousands for political change change which may finally have

a arrived. the leader of the opposition looted which forced from power joyed with the people to pay his respects or tuesday they called is the hero of this self-styled velvet revolution he says the movement now has a popular bad dates to form a transitional government and he has made those demands to such yards governing party the only only king for you. can be peaceful. and full transition of power. and that's. so the republican party still dominates the politics really it's willing to accept that our beads desire change in that revolution is set to be tape its movement to root for a sea walker or that. three suicide bombers have attacked the pakistani city of

demilitarized zone from the north it takes over two hours to drive from the north korean capital pyongyang through the countryside to the d.m.z. the demilitarized zone the road is bumpy but very quiet it's also in places extremely wide one pyongyang resident speculated to me this was so craft could land with reinforcements in the event of conflict once we reached the d.m.z. security was tight we were not permitted to film in certain areas. our guide was a north korean army captain he showed us the layout of this frontline zone this is not an international border the korean war officially never ended it was simply paused with an armistice or truce. is it possible for you to show us where the meeting on the twenty seventh will be taking place between field-marshal kim and

the president of south korea. if you know it's the peace house on the southern side so this is the first time any of your leaders garma cross to the southern side to him is that. yes we continued on the route that the north korean leader will take for his historic meeting on friday past the building owner of the one nine hundred fifty three armistice was negotiated and the hall where it was signed by the north koreans and by us general on behalf of his country and their allies fighting under the u.n. flag it's estimated that in just three years up to three million people were killed as a professional soldier how hard is it going to be with your field marshal sitting down with those that have been your enemy to going into what i want is a key if dear supreme marshal is with us surely all the problems will be solved peacefully and that's what we firmly believe and we were taken on to

a taller building and up some stairs where you could view the line that separates communist north korea from democratic south korea. from the north we have this vantage point of the demarcation line the blue hot stone there where in the past military officials from this country have met the other side and just over that building is where the historic summit is supposed to take place. this is also being suggested as a place where kim jong un could meet donald trump no venue for that planned meeting has yet been formally announced the leaders of countries whose forces have been facing off against each other for decades will soon be meeting face to face james bays out zero on the north korean side of the de-militarized zone and we're often reminded that the two koreas remain technically at war an armistice not

a peace treaty ended hostilities in one thousand nine hundred fifty three and it was signed here at the joint security area at panmunjom the two sides agreed then to establish the four kilometer buffer zone between north and south known as the demilitarized zone or d.m.z. it's still heavily guarded on both sides and has been the site of tensions over the years north korean soldiers killed two u.s. army officers in one nine hundred seventy six landmines injured south korean soldiers and twenty fifteen and late last year a north korean defector what's shot by fellow north korean troops as he ran across the border not far from where i'm standing. this year as relations improved between the two koreas this village has once again been used as a venue for high level talks within the d.m.z. the military demarcation line marks the actual border between north and south in this room when i walk over to this side of the table i'm crossing into north korea so it was significant when earlier this year

a delegation from the north stepped over the border for talks after two years in which there had been no official communication between the two countries and when north korean leader kim jong un meets south korea's president at the end of the month the meeting will be held in peace house on the southern side it will be the first time a north korean leader steps on south korean soil since the korean war. rights groups say thousands of factories in bangladesh are still unsafe five years after its worst industrial disaster more than eleven hundred people mostly female garment workers died in the two thousand and thirteen rana plaza collapse or before it's. been described as the worst industrial disaster in bangladesh is history when they pull the 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

facebook cambridge analytical data breach scandal first of all speaking to a parliamentary committee dr alexander kogan he's the man who produced the app that was used to harvest the data of some eighty seven million facebook users and then illegibly pass it on to cambridge analytical for use in influencing the donald trump campaign and following that swiftly it was a press conference given by cambridge analytical defending or dealing with what it described as ill informed and inaccurate speculation about the company well alexander kogan insists as he has done before that he did nothing wrong back in two thousand and fourteen both sides he said knew precisely what was going on what he was doing no one raised any objections then he says he's being made a scapegoat by facebook that describes him as a liar and a fraud his product as a scam and cambridge analytical that says the data he produced was in effect will take a listen to this exchange from the briefing in which the committee suggests that his motivation may in the end have been commercial gain essentially the payments on

a very clever prosecutor dealing with the all talk clever mosquitoes that develop resistance to all chemicals insects and that we develop but over the last twenty years we have seen the number of cases drastically drop in africa while the number of malaria cases have dropped by as much as seventy percent in some places in kenya the world health organizations twenty seventeen malaria report says last year there were about five million more cases of malaria globally compared to the year before and that more than four hundred twenty thousand people globally died of the disease that year ninety percent of those cases occurred in africa is now hope that a successful rollout of the vaccine across three african countries will mean fewer deaths for me to malone al-jazeera kisumu county kenya. so ahead. and sports. the stars liverpool for five in their champions league semifinal.

u.s. judges ruled against the trump administration's decision to end a program that protects some young immigrants from deportation the program known as doc as shields hundreds of thousands of immigrants often called dreamers from deportation and gives their work permits judge john bates cancelling the program is unlawful and has ordered that it be restarted. meanwhile as elephants are facing a new threat from poachers are now being hunted for their skin conservationists say

the scans are ground been used in medicine and are sold as jewelry mainly in china they're warning the asian elephant could become extinct if the problem escalates so the threat is bigger than ivory poaching because all elephants are targeted not just those with tusks so there is thought to be about two thousand asian elephants in the wild in me and maher there are less of a target for ivory poachers than the larger african varieties only the males have tusks but government figures show fifty nine elephant carcasses were found in myanmar last year and that's a sharp increase from just four in two thousand and ten and two thousand and fourteen researchers began fitting g.p.s. collars to elephants in myanmar to track the population within three years the butcher carcasses of five adult males were found two more stopped transmitting at the same time conservationists have noticed a market increase in online advertising and sales of elephant scan products especially in china the key cox is the conservation director for the world wildlife

fund and me and mark he says only elephants in myanmar are being poached for their skin. like in africa and across asia elephants have been poached for many many years but i think that the situation in manama especially due to decades of conflict and civil unrest have created the conditions that have allowed some of the criminal networks that are involved in all kinds of illegal crime including our life crimes it to take advantage of the. fact that lauren foresman has been quite weak and elephants are found in areas that aren't protected areas has made it relatively easy for poor and the poachers to take advantage and it's unique in mammals that whilst elephants being poached across the countries in asia we're only seeing this skinning phenomenon here in our government have been tracking.

numbers over the last few years but it was only really in two thousand and fifteen sixteen that it became obvious that this was this was serious and particularly last year as you reported at least one elephant poached every week in the wild for the trade now. whilst the conservation community has reacted and we launched a public awareness campaign really to bring this to the attention of the government and to raise awareness and to call for action to to address the trade and to close down the open markets that are selling products including elephant skin and ivory and other wildlife as well. they're also looking at how to reduce the demand and particularly the demand for elephant skin used in traditional chinese medicine and we all know that it takes a long time to change behavior and consumer practices and that's not going to

happen overnight so in the meantime we need the agencies to get boots on the ground research protect elephants and the while time for sport now with andy. thank you very much well liverpool have beaten roma five two in the first leg of their champions league semifinal at anfield mohammed silent was once again front and center for liverpool he scored twice in the first half to take his tally for the season up to forty three little pull when five up after the break but two late goals for roma have given them something to take back for the return leg in italy next week our correspondent lee wellings was at the game. so roma don't have that glimmer of hope having scored the two like go by did it to barcelona by winning by three goals when they needed to they could conceivably do it again but it's unlikely this was liverpool's now and it was marcella's know it was always going to be the case with a man who came from rome with liverpool forwards i was fifty million dollars he's

been worth so many more times that with an incredible season the statistics are incredible thirty one premier league goals he was expected to score anywhere near that and it was a record i'm forty three goals overall in this season after that so brilliant finishes against right where he really was so much where there's no doubt about that the fancy actually of moscow you are most solid the world on my soul or anyone else i believe of all. my salary your four most solid best in the world ok to talk well then i will go on and the likes of them a messy when you use more shit better than them all and your considering what we paid for them we stole them or that our own believe that's all i can say but most are on believable by you so he's perfectly summed up what everyone here thinks about myself i'm around world football he is the king in a pretty tight little hole the white champions league police are investigating what they're describing as the serious assault of a man outside the stadium before kick off the work clashes between supporters
