after the first leg of their champions league semifinal against by munich oryol win it to one in germany to stay on target for third straight title. french president emmanuel urged the u.s. to move away from nationalism and think gauge with the world in a speech to american lawmakers he received a three minute standing ovation as he arrived to address a joint meeting of congress and despite his apparent love in with donald trump over the last few days markram took a at the u.s. president's agenda in his speech which some viewed as a rebuke of trump he said the two countries a very special relationship virtually raised their differences on the environment and warned the u.s. against shutting out the world. let me see we have two possible ways ahead.

we can choose isolationism withdrawal and nationalism this is an option it can be tempting to us as a temporary remember if to our fears but closing the door to the word will not stop the evolution of the word it will not dollars but inflame the fruits of our citizens we have to keep our eyes wide open to the new risks right in front of us by mark and trump has been the around nuclear deal the french president has tried to encourage his u.s. counterpart not to throw out the agreement but improve on it as a white house correspondent kimberly hellcat reports. the president of the french republic. before a joint session of the u.s.

congress french president emmanuel macross argued the united states should remain part of the iran nuclear agreement it is true to say that this agreement. may know the address all concerns and very important concerns this is true but we should not abandon its without having some seen substantial and more substantial than said. a day earlier in meetings that the white house might cross suggested the current deal to limit iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief should be the cornerstone of a new supplemental agreement. and it would address trump's concerns beyond twenty twenty five including limiting iran's influence in the middle east and halting ballistic missile testing we can change and we can be flexible you know in life you have to be flexible so despite criticizing the existing iran agreement repeatedly

for years trump is now signaling he's open to recertify iran's compliance under the terms of the deal but only if his criticisms are addressed with the deadline for donald trump to make his decision just weeks away european leaders are conducting a high level lobbying effort on friday german chancellor angela merkel will be the next to visit the white house she'll work to persuade try to remain in the twenty fifteen iran deal but iran says a u.s. withdrawal will kill it tehran has threatened to respond by pulling out of another agreement the nuclear nonproliferation agreement on weapons. i'm wednesday iran's president question trumps ability to even comprehend the terms of any agreement show more color shift hot seat you don't have any background in politics you don't have any background in law you don't have any background on international treaties how can a tradesmen a merchant someone who builds towers for

a living make judgments about international affairs and well he's currently signaling he's open to the u.s. for maining in the deal negotiated with iran and five other world powers given his impulsive nature there's still time for trump to change his mind and follow through with threats to leave the iran deal kimberly health at al-jazeera at the white house. first two days in washington were characterized numerous backslaps handshakes and kisses with donald trump but what do french voters make of his close relationship with the u.s. president natasha butler reports from paris on the apparent blossoming burma. there was pomp and ceremony and displays of affection and of the words i like him a lot the apparent friendship between the french and american presidents was on full show during emmanuel machall state visit to washington politically the two men

have little in common but the liberal macro is determined to get on with his conservative counterparts we have to make a berth for years in france opinion polls suggest donald trump is unpopular but many people support mike ross approach. what on that they are great friends doesn't matter michael is the french president and he must create strong ties with the u.s. citizens and it's very important for france and for the u.s. and even for europe especially as trump seems to really appreciate president it's a sea chill to have good relations analysts say that macros courting of trump is seen by many french people as a political tactic mcroy is probably really doing of a strategy of trying to show from that he actually does respect him and to value the transatlantic relationship because at the end of the day from a european perspective every might not like the american president but the u.s. will always remain an important partner since micros election he has nurtured his

relationship with trump inviting him as france's guest of honor to last year's bastille day celebrations and talking regularly by phone mike ross says he was able to convince trump to keep u.s. troops in syria some people say that america is close mr trump is a risk because the u.s. president is so unpredictable but others say the french president has much to gain he can try and influence trump on important international matters such as the iran nuclear deal and it may help france's international standing rockwall seems to her very. well thought through diplomatic strategy which is to create the largest amount of flexibility for france by making sure the u.s. is on side micra will leave washington with few promises on a number of issues it's unclear for example whether trumbull impose u.s. trade tariffs on the e.u. or agree to an expanded iran nuclear agreement but if trump changes his mind on

either issue many people in france may feel the two look back slapping and smiles who was it natasha butler al-jazeera paris. or about this with joel rubin who's president of the washington strategy group and a former deputy assistant secretary of state thanks very much for coming on to algis there have just witnessed a masterclass in diplomacy really president lovering up to the president president trump heaping praise on him and then turning up at congress and basically setting out his own agenda and having a day get the u.s. president. yeah president mccrone really did demonstrate how global leaders should be in gauging a foreign power and he came here to washington did what he needed to do to get president trump on his side it's clear that there's a personal bond it's deep and it's deeper than any policy disagreements i believe

will will potentially cause problems with essentially this personal bond is going to be strong but at the same time mccrone also engaged democrats in congress in particular with his language and he really had them curing in on their feet so he got both sides liking him very much and i suppose that one of the questions will be will present micron's was that congress make any difference he was singing to that conversation where it is saying some of getting that the democrats on his side in congress is probably not going to really change the opinions of the republicans and indeed change opinions of the u.s. president. well smart foreign leaders understand that the american system requires engaging both parties not not ever can we really expect one party to dominate all of government and with midterm elections coming up soon it's quite possible the democrats will take one chamber of congress maybe even two so what

mccrone did by engaging president trump was essentially get the republicans on board and the executive branch and by engaging the democrats in this speech today he also showed that he could hear both sides but he did make a real eloquent police for the united states to come back into the global community and staying gauge that was his overarching theme and i do think it got a lot of attention in congress from both sides of the aisle now it used to was that may well of reviver eighty's and in downing street in the u.k. in those two ways with special relationship something that the u.k. has always had it has with the u.s. now front seems to be saying well it's actually as it's called the special relationship is that significant. it's quite clever and france and president mccrone really did lay in to the concept that france was there for the united states for the americans against. an oppressive country britain

clearly at the time was the corneal power and the french they stood with us and by calling out that relationship he is attempting to position himself as the leader and the go between we've seen this before however about a decade ago we saw as with tony blair where he tried to play this intermediary with the bush administration and it is fraught with risk what's a day looks good tomorrow could potentially turn against him tony blair was derided as bush's poodle and really less public how is the media treating his visit hair and they see him as as an equal to president trump. i think that the media is viewing him quite frankly is a breath of fresh air really we've had such a negative political environment in recent months in the last year plus that to have mccrone come in and appeal to president trump bring out the good side of president trump and appeal to congressional democrats really is a reminder to americans and the media and the political community that there are

bigger forces at play that the united states should be engaging in so it was well received across all sides there's hardly any negative commentary maybe i'll start tonight with a friendship joel rubin thanks very much for coming on silence as there. coming up on the news hour an indian guru with millions of followers is sentenced to life in jail for rape we'll look at the link between monday's van attack in toronto and the online subculture that advocates hatred towards women and in sports the former tennis world on the wrong he's struggling to hit the heights on his return from injury. protesters have been back on the streets of the armenian capital after the country's acting prime minister canceled crisis talks with the opposition protest leader nichol passion you can hear is the movement forced on me as former president

many of which he now says giving workers a bad deal. i south africa's one of the most on the countries in the world economically many things haven't changed since apartheid so a message of better wages for workers resonates. because the strikers are growing bigger and bigger as they marched into the city center come here to present their petition and there's a monster three different government departments some of south africa's major historical unions are part of this the people here those unions have failed to

represent. some of the major unions agreed with the government to introduce a minimum wage of just on the three hundred dollars a month people here don't agree and they say well paid union bosses have grown too close to politicians and business owners some of the you know don't care all they care about is to be ready to be deployed in parliament so we asked the spokesman of south africa's congress of unions which negotiated and agreed to the minimum wage. he said it's not ideal but it's a start and it'll help four million out of the lowest paid workers we should not send them for streams with a new color like i was that has to go into seven percent of the population that is unemployed that doesn't have seventeen million people on welfare you can't return to that economy has the star mean and it is also has to give people two of those and five hundred twenty minimum wage is there really to offload in twenty. the

through you can see how hungry they are and the tiredness in their eyes many of them are here with very little to no money a lot of women single mothers with their children who have made it all the way from central america across mexico to arrive here. and i want to give you a sense of what we've seen over the course of the last twenty four hours here take a look. at more than one hundred central american migrants have arrived at the us mexico border for many of these men women and children the journey has been the ultimate test of physical and mental resilience. the most difficult thing has been traveling on the train because the children became seriously ill some of them fainted so you see it's difficult after traveling for a month from honduras carlos and his family are tired hungry and anxious think that it will. be each one of us here has a story and each one of us has a case to make we've traveled all the way here with our families because we all

have something bad that's happened in our lives and. these new arrivals are part of a larger group of migrants seeking asylum in the united states most say they're fleeing violence or persecution in their own countries including hundred all solved or and guatemala. the vast majority who want to get across and seek political asylum some with attorneys that are helping them prepare too but to answer questions when interviewed by u.s. immigration officials in the united states the department of homeland security announced recently that any illegal entries into the country by members of this migrant. will be referred for prosecution unknown and now we want to you silent seekers are being helped by immigration activists and charity volunteers who are providing temporary shelter medical aid and food but their journey doesn't end here . as i said president stuck to the department of homeland security not to let them into the u.s. is pushing them off actually giving themselves in that the border. the president

trying to trumpet ministration has also announced that they will be sending immigration judges and prosecutors to the border but i want to talk about the perception of these migrants this is not a case where hundreds of migrants are storming the u.s. border in fact there are legal advisors who are who have identified somewhere around three hundred fifty individuals mostly women single mothers and their children who may be better qualified to to request asylum from border officials the men that are part of this of this group of migrants have said at least the ones that we've spoken to that they will stay behind that will stay here and mexico they've accompanied the women and the children because there's a sense that there's safety in numbers we're talking about several hundred migrants those who are planning to request asylum will do so by turning themselves in to border authorities and that we begin that legal process of requesting asylum which they have every right to do so under international law good to tell it shame on her

life for us to own a mexico. south korea has unveiled the main meeting room for friday's historic into korean summit it will be the first time in more than a decade that the linkages of north and south korea have held direct talks in the house of peace on the south korean side of the troops footage. and many south koreans are hopeful the meeting will help sentiment the more peaceful atmosphere on the korean peninsula this year especially those living in the four kilometer demilitarized zone between the two koreas cafe novak has been to visit takes on village this is a farming village unlike any other in south korea it's inside the heavily guarded demilitarized zone that separates the two koreas north korea is just over a kilometer in that direction villagers who strayed over the border in the past were arrested by north korean guards so farmers get

a military escort to their rice fields to go. we have to report every time we enter an exit village were farmers so we have to go out just tell our crops but so many restrictions apply to us which makes it very difficult when the nine hundred fifty three armistice ended hostilities in the korean war the two koreas set up a village each inside the d.m.z. as a sort of model of what life is like on either side the south koreans call ketone on the other side a propaganda village they don't believe people really live there when south korea erected a one hundred meter flagpole the north put up a one hundred sixty meter flag pole villagers are close enough to hear propaganda broadcasts from the north but they say they haven't heard any since monday after south korea announced it would stop broadcasting its messages across the border for about two hundred residents evacuation drills and a curfew from midnight to sunrise are a way of life but in exchange because this land is under un command locals don't

pay taxes to the south korean government with about seventeen acres of farming land per family the average incomes are higher than those of other farmers and men are exempt from mandatory military service. the thirty five students at the only school inside the d.m.z. get personalized attention with only about five children per teacher and us soldiers visit to teach english. if you're not a direct descendant of an original resident and want to move here you have to be a woman and marry a local man men don't have that option because the south korean government doesn't want them taking unfair advantage of the military service exemption the u.k. is brecht's it debates and says a new phase on thursday with a vote on borders and customs tourism a is government is trying to avoid defeats but many m.p.'s say even if the u.k. and the if the e.u. must stay in the customs union if it doesn't it could risk economic disaster which

protecting the rights of british fishermen has become eight hotel make issue for many leading breakfasts as they say the u.k. must leave the european free trade area but staying in the european free trade area is crucial for those parts of the fishing industry which need to move their stock quickly to some of the best restaurants in places like france and spain and that's a big problem coinciding which is a local delicacy but not if you live in the post for a week. to make a point about what happens to fish if it gets stuck in a truck for too long and the local m.p. here sent the government minister in charge of bricks it's a traditional fish pie in the post government ministers who support breck's it he says don't understand their own constituency. i believe they're simply choosing to look at the divisions in the tory party they're making the decisions based on politics gnostic economics not the interests of the people in these islands it's

time they looked at the harsh realities of where they got the story. of course it isn't only fish anything perishable or goods reliant on a fast turnaround could be affected disastrously if british trucks are forced to queue for days before entering the continent they were in continue discussions with the u.k. government and scottish government i think the concern is we've had real clarity as to what you can government don't want which is the customs union but real uncertainty still as to what the future does hold. in peterhead they're expanding the ports because they believe their markets will grow. supporters of shore continental europe will fall for a deal on taxes and tariffs because they love to eat british fish the livelihoods of people here may depend on this assumption forestry al-jazeera east and scotland . just coming up.
