vision to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else working for it as you know it's very challenging liberally particularly because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are we the people we live to tell the real stories are just mended is to deliver in-depth journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe. the fact. this morning corpus on the planet money could soon be lost. it's an international team of scientists is determined not to let that happen without intervention to give the big i would say to a vast now it's a race against time to try and strain a species like a crisis that's in the majesty plan. extinction tag no zero.

this is al jazeera. hello i'm so robin you're watching the al-jazeera news our live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes america's new secretary of state mike pompei or starts his middle east talk with iran's nuclear deal highly on the agenda. also a so-called million man march in yemen following a sandy led strike that killed two rebel leaders. also a roast it without the host and u.s. president donald trump abandons the white house correspondents dinner for a second year plus. a mentor thomas activists like me but. most of this works have ended up in china but china has now banned recycling products like this

leaving the industry here and elsewhere in the world in. welcome to the news our newly appointed u.s. secretary of state's mike pompei or has arrived in saudi arabia as part of a thieve three day trip to the region now he's held talks with the saudi foreign minister. before having dinner with crown prince mohammed bin salon are expected to discuss the iran nuclear deal following donald trump's threats to pull the united states out of the agreement next month. was sworn in on thursday after his predecessor rex tillerson left office last month for instance salumi has more from washington d.c. . the state department says a strong u.s. saudi partnership is crucial to peace and prosperity in the middle east so perhaps not surprising that mike pompei a would make

a visit to saudi arabia part of his first official trip as secretary of state he also has the fast approaching deadline of may twelfth when president trump must decide whether or not to reimpose sanctions on iran a move that many feel will be the end of the iran nuclear deal mike pompei o is much closer to president trump on this issue than his predecessor rex tillerson was tillerson was sympathetic to the european point of view which is the deal should be strengthened and not abandoned he lost his job essentially over that pale will also no doubt be talking about the situation in syria during this visit president trump has called on gulf countries to do more to stabilize the situation there in terms of troops and funding from saudi arabia pompei o heads to israel and then to jordan room and turned to the role of foreign policy committee publishing he says the

trumpet ministrations approach to diplomacy is likely to change was tone. president trump eventually will. move toward a globalist position what is that a globalist position is one where allies count much more than your campaign promises who did he have come to washington macross he had merkel and he would have to rescind may but to be surveying is not in shape to travel anywhere including europe probably so i think that the global institutions will set in in addition. i have had the opportunity to brief my campaign on the nuclear deal he knows it by heart he doesn't want to kill it he wants to fix it he might come pale wants to utilize the threat of force in order to the thought of not force but withdrawing from the deal as a way of. moving forward on the renegotiation of the deal iran says

no there's no way it will negotiate when i was a diplomat in vienna and stockholm madrid i had the opportunity to learn something about proposal counter-proposal proposal counter-proposal each side then comes up with less than one it and all of a sudden you have a deal but that deal won't last very long so just like the nuclear chord of july august twenty fifth thing is not going to stand something we do something will replace it. pompei is it to saudi arabia comes as iran back to the rebels in yemen fired a new round of missiles into the kingdom now this follows a solidly led coalition air strike that killed two rebel leaders in yemen's capital last week a high ranking rebel commander was killed in a strike thousands gathered in sanaa to honor him victoria gate and the reports. he supposes descend on the center of santa they're protesting against the death of the

most senior official to be killed by the saudi led coalition in yemen's three year war salah the man had died in an airstrike on the coastal holiday to province last week. maurya you will get revenge for the death of the president of the republic. and i have a message for the saudi aggressors you bring invaders here from all over the world we will kill them and we will burn them to move you the leaders and dozens of fighters were killed in another saudi led coalition air strike on saturday saudi state television says the strike targeted a high level meeting at the these interior ministry in santa after three years of fighting and no end to the war in sight analysts say the saudi led coalition is trying something new the saudis are stepping up their game. targeting higher higher level officials and the hope is as well are also are there also to stepping up their game firing more and more ballistic missiles into saudi territory i think the

message is clear that they still believe both parties still believe that they're the only solution is a military solution but it's a risky strategy here the fighters say their mood determined than ever to continue their fight for control of yemen. this protest was made for president saleh osama and we tell him that we will keep going on your path and we will not drift away his death strengthened us and provided us with resistance god willing we will not drift away. it's a conflict that's already killed thousands of people and caused the united nations says is the world's one humanitarian crisis now there are signs of an escalation from both sides saudi arabia says it intercepted for the missiles fired from yemen targeting the city of just then victoria gate and be al jazeera. says intercepted four hits the missiles fired from yemen targeting the southern coastal city of just

on the rebels say they fired as a ballistic rockets aimed at economic assets. now the u.s. president has avoided attending the annual white house correspondents' dinner for the second day running instead he's attending a temp a rally in michigan there last year trump became the first president in thirty six years to skip the event the college scholarship fund raiser celebrates the relationship between the media and the white house press secretary sarah huckabee sold this is taking place one can expect to like grilling from comedian host in the shell was diana's to brooke has more from washington d.c. the president sent a message to the press from michigan he said when he began his speech this evening that he'd much rather be in michigan than in washington attending this correspondents' dinner and you know the message is that he sees the press is an adversary of three months ago he said that the press was an enemy of the american

people which is rather sad statement to make these actually missing an opportunity by not being at this correspondents' dinner president's abuse of this dinner in the past to you know hope fun at the media but also to poke fun at themselves and to a way of humanizing them it helps them connect with the media and it also helps them connect with the public as well so in many ways that this is this is a missed opportunity but again the president has had this very adversarial relationship with the presidency took office and it continues well joining me live from los angeles is peter mathews he's a professor of political science at cypress college on the author of democracy with liberty and justice for some how to reclaim the american dream for all good to have you with us live on al-jazeera i mean the correspondents' dinner with me here just for a second time i mean the message really couldn't be clearer could it. it couldn't

he's doing it intentionally to snub the press because he doesn't really believe that they're very accurate or fair to him and yet the press is so important in democracy it's the call the fourth estate it's the freedom of speech that's in the it's actually in the constitution from the present their own theme of the speech because that way in a democracy when you get information out there and people can rationally choose which is the best path to go that's when you have real freedom of choice but without it when the press is threatened or muzzled in the case of president trump he's always put it down that to create the chilling effect on freedom of speech is very dangerous for the markers is it a huge p.r. mistake not to actually attend because previous presidents who've had a hard time with the press domestically have had their opportunity you might say to take a light hearted approach to the industry and for them to actually perhaps get to know the president a little bit more absolutely a missed opportunity because if he would just go there and engage in the humor even

self-deprecating humor that people of these humility can has a funny bone to him and that he's really willing to listen to other people's viewpoints that would expand his base of support or at least give people an idea that this man is not all just one sided and stubborn willed in one way but he could be more open to different points of view and build up a larger coalition and the press is so important because they report on the media on the ice are the politicians and they really are called the opinion makers and it's very important that he has a good relationship with them but he doesn't care about it nice try to hold on to his thirty three percent of our present base of support that he has as hard core base over to see what lines come out from the dinner but in terms of that rally where the president is let's just change tack slightly because he is talking about trying to meet the leader of north korea over the next three to four weeks how do you actually assess his situation his position the ways handling this situation and selling it to the american public at the moment. it's very unpredictable because

one more he's talking about fire and fury a few weeks ago and now he's talking about how kim jong un is the best on the best leaders around and this is a problem because inconsistency means that we can't trust exactly and neither can the north koreans what he's going to be doing whether we want it what he says what he means so i would be more consistent if i were president trump and try to stick to the idea that you have to work things even with your enemies you have to work things out by not just compromising but by finding common ground and let's face it the north koreans are always afraid the united states will invade them especially after president bush put them on the axis of evil with iraq and iran and then you know then they say you know bush is invading iraq and north korean leader said whoa we've got to make sure we're not going to invaded so we have to build up our armaments especially possibly nuclear arms and that happened even though under president clinton for eight years with the agreed framework and in the negotiation that prince clinton did with the kim jong il the father of kim jong un he was able to keep north korea from getting nuclear arms for years and that worked because the u.s. promised certain things and start delivering them you know heavy heavy fuel oil for

example the north korea could have some energy and two light water reactors which by they were never built in the end that was a problem once clinton left president bush did not follow through and the u.s. didn't deliver on a lot of his promises in that agreement this time present trump has to be sure where the u.s. agree agrees to it has to stick to and the fact is that north korea's once a peace treaty recognizing it is in the sovereign nation and then to work toward denuclearization after that but step by step not overnight osha see what does happen certainly step by step for the math the sense of us joining us from l.a. . the rebel fighters in northern mali have killed at least forty people belonging to the ethnic community the attack took place in the main arca region on the border with the regional governors as al qaeda linked gunman targeted mostly young men in the remote desert villages of our casa and then on friday and saturday mali has been struggling with lawlessness in the north since two rival armed groups the toric rebels and al-qaeda linked fighters sought to take control and six years

ago target rebels declared independence in april twenty twelve just a month after president damage due to a tory was pushed out in a coup three months later they lost ground to dean a group with links to al-qaeda it impose sharia law and publicly destroyed many muslim shrines in the early twenty thirteen front stepped in helping local forces take back the region and two years later molly's government and two are agro balls agreed to a peace deal despite the french military and un peacekeeping presence france says i still in the greatest harbor known as the g.s. has been using northern mali as a haven the kuwaiti is the executive director of the african immigrant caucus he thinks these latest attacks are an attempt to provoke the twa raids into a much larger conflict. the two iranians have hired. conflicts

and disagreements with whichever government has been embalmed uncle ever scenes independence in one thousand nine hundred sixty because their asses separate ethnic groups have always odd doodad they want to separate want their own country that is very hard for them ali has to accept and reality for all of africa to us because it is based on welfare and ethnicity and there are only five percent of the mali and population and they will be landlocked and so they have always argued it did for this as you mentioned as few years back the assigned the most recent. peace deal with the government was so five p. as to be holding why will the terrorist target them it will seem that. they are trying to get dead to arabs to once again pick up pick up the gun and the stab in the eyes the government of mali i think may be the reason why

they are trying to target the two errands and get them fighting again. well plenty more ahead on the al-jazeera news hour including armenians unites behind their protests leader now the ruling party says it will not hold a candle that's why the list of. the world's biggest movie studios unveiled could this be china's answer to hollywood. and it's for tatyana will be here or find out how this newly signed n.f.l. player has just made history. a spokesman for me as ruling party announced that they will not nominate a candidate for prime minister and he says it's an effort to avoid stoking more tension in the region the opposition movement which has attracted tens of thousands of armenians on to the streets and force the resignation of long term president

turned prime minister shares and is demanding the election of nicole and robin forest a walk report on a day of political drama from the northern armenian city of van doesn't. this convoy has all the euphoria of a victory parade one that stretches for kilometers. while the capital takes some rest the opposition movement is traveling to the regions to show the republican party that the whole country is now behind one bad week. on tuesday there will be a crucial vote in parliament to decide on a new prime minister and the crowds know who they want for the job they call passion. and. it. began this movement with a two week walk across all media in april he called medians to join him and reject

the country's unpopular leader said. the former journalist but. critic and served jail time for his activism. that while his faction is only a minority in parliament the simple message has attracted thousands frustrated by the political elite and inspired by his revolutionary line which. i have no power only has been following. the protests in recent days it was based on is somehow different you could feel the excitement i can see he had to see a shot at the house and the expectations on the face you know these people he wants to be smart people movements i don't know he's here we just didn't want to give each other he gives the power to us to the people not just the one person or two people but to everyone that's why we love him so so it is changing all this and i

mean then dignitary only. heard they. saw the outside car update system it's changing. this was the moment mr. passion yan announced to the crowds that the republican party he looked to be fielding a candidate on tuesday was now powered does seem to be with the people of robin first you will. hear a vanity god let's head to asia pacific now where we're getting some breaking news coming out of north korea it has announced that it will open up its nuclear sites for inspection to south korea and international experts let's get more on this from kathy novak fast moving developments in the space of very short time cathy with so much diplomacy going on at the moment what are you hearing about this news. this is

coming from the presidential blue house here in south korea briefing journalists on the outcome of the interview and some of that of course was held on friday between monday and in the north korean leader kim jong un now according to the south korean blue house kim jong un told monday and in that meeting that north korea intends to shut down a nuclear test facility in may and as you say invite international experts and journalists to inspect that facility very interesting because last weekend of course north korea announced that it would stop the testing of nuclear from nuclear test and stop testing missiles and also shut down a nuclear test facility it had been speculated around that time that perhaps that was not a big concession for north korea because experts had speculated that perhaps the test facility how to ready been so compromised because of previous nuclear tests of

course the last test was the most powerful ever north korea claimed that was the test of a hydrogen bomb and some experts had been speculating that that kind of testing had compromised the test facility so much that north korea may not want to use it anymore but now apparently kim jong un told mungy and that there were two tunnels around the test facility that the international community was not even aware of and now he is saying that he will shut down the nuclear test facility and as i say invite inspectors to come and have a look at it in addition we're told that north korea intends to change its time zone again to match the time zone of south korea it changed its time to pyongyang time back in twenty fifteen offsetting it by half an hour compared with seoul at the time i believe it said that that was because the time was set around the time of japanese occupation and that north korea wanted to lay claim basically to its

own time as pyongyang time but. now it is saying that it should keep in standard with the time that is followed here in south korea and that it will set its time zone to match seoul time cuffy this does bode well in terms of these revelations about tunnels in terms of the potential upcoming meeting summits between president trump and kim jong un's absolutely there was a lot that was historic about the intercom and summit a lot that was unprecedented and there was the talk of moving away from the armistice towards a more formal peace treaty the talk of monday and visiting pyongyang in the autumn among other things but one of the things that people have pointed out is that when there was talk of denuclearization it was still quite vague that it was talk about a common goal of denuclearizing the korean peninsula but no concrete steps as to what north korea intended to do because when the international community generally

talked about denuclearization it always talked about complete verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of north korea so in that injury and summit monday and gave credit to north korea for steps already taken at the time it was that announcement that i referred to that it would stop nuclear and missile testing and shut down a nuclear test facility now it seems to be taking that a step further that has been welcomed already by south korea and minging and has briefed the u.s. president donald trump ahead of his planned meeting with kim jong un and the two leaders agreed that these steps towards denuclearization were important and that more concrete measures should be discussed in the meeting between trump and kim of course who will expect global reaction to that in especially from washington d.c. following this very carefully and coming back to you i'm sure kathy through the day thanks very much. well russia's foreign minister has accused the u.s.

of trying to divide syria into parts and i say lavrov made the comments in moscow while meeting as turkish and iranian counterparts to discuss the war in syria the meeting prepares the groundwork for the ninth amount of a stunt talks to be held next month now the three countries believe it's the only way to end the violence in this seven year syrian war. while we have building options to pay some of the other colleagues are trying to destroy the results of our joint constructive efforts not even following the international law like in the recent operation by the u.s. u.k. and france against syria over chalons has more from moscow. this meeting was a way for russia turkey and iran co-sponsors of the standard talks to set the scene for the next round of those negotiations which are in a couple of week's time a the fourteenth and fifteenth the three countries here although they have been pushing these negotiations into their ninth rounds now. do

have disagreements they have disagreements over the future of president bashar al assad's turkey has always thought that he shouldn't be part of syria's future and turkey also disagrees with russia on iran over the recent u.s. u.k. and french airstrikes which were a response to what those three countries said was a chemical weapons attack in duma now turkey supports that view and thinks that the russian perspective that this has set back the political process in syria is not necessarily true. parts the turks do have criticisms of the united states saying that they should give up their ongoing support for the kurds when we do get to the next round of a stand of sorts in a couple weeks we're likely to see. a similar situation to previous times which is that the opposition who are reluctant to come now the route the opposition has

always felt the. talks were essentially a sideshow a distraction from what should be taking place which is the resumption of negotiations in geneva the official u.n. sponsored talks and the opposition has long felt that water started as essentially doing is just hollowing out geneva stripping it of all the main political platforms political points and essentially giving cover for russia and the syrian government forces on the ground to continue pushing home their military advantage. well there are all scholars at least eighteen people have reportedly been killed in syria's largest palestinian refugee camp over the past twenty four hours. the syrian government is trying to retake several neighborhoods in southern damascus from myself falling to activists believe half of the refugee camp in the area has been destroyed in a week of violence the u.n.

a film director on the executive director of filming east festival she says it'll be a major boost to both china's domestic and international film or dreams as a filmmaker myself worked in both the u.k. and china i see wonder what they are doing it's like to show they have the resolve this potential and then bishes to flex it it. still must stick filmmaking as well as international side so there will really produced the chinese film industry and also turn qingdao the very lovely and. this city i still hope for the international film make it to main in chinese film market is huge it's a lot of potential lots of opportunities so to be honest i do feel very

positive about that and also the policy is the friend censorship is different however for the new talents is a completely new war would so feel that energy. and also the new generation of filmmakers from china they've been studying in different places in in the world in western countries so i think in their generation i mean even younger than me it's a time for dom to try to marry western and eastern culture in the filmmaking. now the days of going to the movies and watching on a flat screen all quickly being replaced by what's called a massive film experience says it's on show at the trial back in film festival in new york gabriel this sunday went and had a look. at. taking virtual reality a step further this is the trifecta cinema three sixty twenty seat virtual reality
