with the smell of these. birds or the bad the up the bad ones. so it's much worse than the garbage because all of the smell is coming from the dead bodies so that's it. you. know where you. are you. know how. i mean it was difficult not to say that whether someone is going or someone is very rich but there's meddling in nature and i think it's how you approach an individual and i think it is a certain way of doing it you can't just. inject a story in fly out.

this is al jazeera. hello and welcome i'm peter w. watching the news live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. the winds of change thousands of armenians gathered outside the parliament ahead of a vote to elect the new prime minister. tonight i'm here to tell you one thing. iran large. israel's prime minister says he has secret files which prove iran covertly pursued nuclear weapons. at least one person is dead after a massive fire causes a building to collapse in brazil now rescue workers are scrambling to find survivors. and i'm fond of commerce and we'll have all of the day's sporting. the

boston celtics beat philadelphia in the n.b.a. playoff series opener and a decade long title in. a propaganda show a pack of lies that was the reaction from iran to allegations from the israeli prime minister about the iranian nuclear weapons benjamin netanyahu showed reporters in tel aviv what he called conclusive proof that tehran had at one point a weapons program u.s. diplomats say they believe netanyahu and the e.u. and germany are investigating those israeli accusations patty cohen with more now from washington. it was an inauspicious start a technical glitch with the audio meant a brief delay describing a highly sophisticated intelligence operation this was an innocent looking compound it looks like a dilapidated warehouse but from the inside israeli prime minister binyamin

netanyahu says his intelligence agents tracked the paperwork from an iranian nuclear weapons program to this building and that they were able to take this. proudly displaying paperwork and disks he says were from iran according to his own visuals the program ended in two thousand and three but he alleged it continued in secret using these visuals and television performance to send the message the iran deal the nuclear issue is based on lies it's based on iranian lies any rain in the separation one hundred thousand files right here. at their log at the white house it was clear the u.s. president was impressed by what he saw i think of anything what's happening today and what's happened over the last little while and what we've learned. has really shown that i've been one hundred percent right that matters because by may twelfth

the president will decide if the u.s. sanctions will continue to be waved under the iran nuclear deal negotiated between the u.s. iran and five other countries around foreign minister dismissed the new allegations tweeting breaking the boy you can't stop crying wolf is at it again undeterred by cartoon fiasco at unga you can only fool some of the people so many times the president has said nobody knows what he's going to do perhaps trying to build suspense but there seems a lot less of that after what he saw on his t.v. pedicle hain al-jazeera washington. well the white house says a clerical error forced it to correct its response to netanyahu is allegations in a written statement its press secretary initially mentioned that the israeli information shows iran has a robust clandestine nuclear weapons program shortly after that the sentence was modified to say iran had such a program alan fisher has been following the reaction in washington alan how

closely are they watching this where you are. well obviously they're very interested might compere the new u.s. secretary of state who was in jerusalem just a few days ago says that the state department is going through all the documents that the israelis have provided and the initial analysis suggests that these documents are true. says it proves that iran built their nuclear program on the deal on lies and therefore there should be a reconsideration of it by the international community that's important because my pump here was brought in as a new voice for donald trump particularly as rex tillerson also suggested that when he was u.s. secretary of state that iran was very much in compliance with the iran nuclear deal and therefore the u.s. should stay inside it james mattis who is the defense secretary has also queried what the plan b. would be and said at the moment if the walk away from the deal then that makes iran

getting nuclear weapons even more likely and so the whole decision is left with donald trump as you heard from article here and he's still got a decision to make that decision is being framed by the u.s. media as fix or next and he's building up the suspense in the way that donald trump loves to do by seeing people in washington think they know what he's going to do but he hasn't made that final decision but everything he's said over the last two years would suggest that donald trump is very keen that the united states walk away from the iran nuclear deal and is the trump white house content for iran to walk away because that's what iran is on record as saying they've said look if donald trump walks away we walk away and analysts are all saying the same thing look at least now. is within the the diplomatic circle of a conversation a place it wasn't say fifteen years ago. well you have to remember that just in the last week in washington we've seen president emanuel mccraw from france and

chancellor angela merkel from germany come to washington and mccraw support to a joint session of congress and there he said with iran's nuclear deal there is no plan b. and he donald trump quite forcibly to stay within the deal and angle americal repeated that as well you know donald trump will listen to all these voices but he's also listening to benjamin netanyahu is listening to the saudis and it's interesting that many people are framing benjamin netanyahu presentation on monday as very much for an audience of one this was in sawley donald trump the sea because look he came out he spoke mainly in english it was all about a presentation with slides making it easy for donald trump to understand this was all about putting pressure on the u.s. president to live to deliver to benjamin netanyahu a big political win and there's another thing that drives donald trump through all of this is that he likes to be the anti barack obama he sees barack obama he sees

the iran nuclear deal is a big diplomatic win for him and he would like to unpick that to see that he has been right all along as he did in the rose garden of the white house on monday alan thank you very much in the armenian capital here of an thousands of people have gathered outside the parliament which is set to vote for its new prime minister the opposition leader nicole partially on has led weeks of protests that forced the longtime leader. to resign after a round of questions pressure can either be voted in or the parliament can call for snap elections. let's talk to our correspondent robin for us to walk or joining us live from outside the parliament building there in europe and robin they've been at it for a long time what are they talking about. yeah he's been facing a grilling from the m.p.'s in particular or rather i should say exclusively

a grilling from those m.p.'s the blockheads up until now is very reluctant it seems to want to vote in support of him as pm and that is the governing republican party and they've been wanting to it seems slow down the process as well lots of speeches are going on at the moment lots of great weeks all the while people on the square around us just patiently waiting with the excitement is palpable whether they be listening on their radios or watching on their phones or on the big screen which you could probably see behind me they call passion the end is really hard to tough questioning from the republicans about how he would lead this country in the event of a military crisis for example as many of us may know the new go to karabakh conflict is still ongoing it's it's a disputed territory that the army i mean its whole bit as if by job books back and they say richie be able as a military can to lead the country and to make tough decisions in the event of

another conflict and they also say to things like you know what about your movement isn't it supported by foreigners as it beats about site includes all the while question here and it's been quite clear and calm and collected in his responses and he maintains that this is very much an armenian grassroots movement that's something certainly the russians as well have been saying and other diplomatic. heads have also been following the events here so right now we've gone to this vote coming up the big question is whether the republican gov. party that has become such a market is hard given support of the opposition movement and why they have drawn so beautiful out onto the streets the question is whether they are going to argue knowledge the tide has turned against them that power for them now resides legally in the parliament but on the street politically the movement the momentum belongs

to the opposition and if they say no we're not going to support mikko president again yes there are the avenues they could be another vote next week. and there would be a veggie snap elections but the opposition movement wants control of the government now to enable a free and fair elections which they don't believe the governing party can deliver on and so we could see a whole political abbess over the next few weeks and a lot of disappointment a lot of the idea from an opposition that has been remarkably elected and well organized these well up until now sort of awful lot resting on the outcome of that vote that is due to take place shortly so he's got to get six republicans saying yes we will back him but might lose because of not because of him per se but because of something that circassian did before him everyone said look he aligned the republican party with the oligarchs and the country is not a wealthy country it needs that money it needs those wealthy businessmen to stay

there and start putting money back into the economy. where you know those are the guards are a very wealthy. elite suddenly they are very unpopular are the ones that are associated with the regime. but they're not necessarily with regards to a stable or media as the opposition is saying what the opposition wants it is to start a clean slate let's say and encourage all those on medians who left the country the brain drain it's been happening here to come back and in fact i can see them. it's coming back with us for these movements encouraged by the winds of change and also we have the diaspora of the armenian communities approved perhaps three times as many cuts as many as five million armenians overseas he said buddy here currently we're spending money here on important projects that in some ways making up for the

mismanagement. and the lost opportunities of twenty years worth of discovery parties i think the people down in that part about those republican m.p.c. not going to make a decision they say that their decision decision will be unanimous there may still be some who would be because we saw it didn't succeed susan said but they are fighting for their political survival either they believe that it's time for a change to allow this new jersey police unit to see young people who want to change so badly that they want to let that happen or they choose to to take it over because they fear that they will lose everything if they if they give up to these are the challenges that nicole passion has faced and will continue to face even if he does get elected to certain people here as to whether he's ready and waiting to celebrate robin will come back just in as there are any developments but in the meantime thanks very much. another alarms been sounded about the war in afghanistan

finalist will you know later on tuesday will have all the build up coming up in the sports israel the great meet by munich. a roman catholic cardinal is to stand trial in australia for sexual abuse thirty years ago cardinal george pell pleaded guilty after a dozen not guilty after dozens of witnesses gave evidence at a month long committal hearing the former archbishop of melbourne in the one nine hundred ninety s. rose to become the vatican treasurer and aide to pope francis is under thomas. cardinal pell arrived at a melbourne court hoping this would be his final appearance. it would be george pell was until recently the catholic church's treasurer arguably the third most important person of the vatican inside here a magistrate told him he will face a criminal trial accused of historic sexual offenses police formed

a barrier to help clear his path out a large crowd of media and people who say they were abused by priests in the catholic church was writing. the magistrates had barely finished. before he answered very very not guilty they were only words during the hearing he's been granted bail but he's not allowed to leave australia a legal suppression order bans the reporting yet of exactly what will stand trial for it also prevents the reporting of how many accusations have now been dismissed and what they were as a priest in the state of victoria and later archbishop of melbourne and sydney cardinal pell became australia's most senior flick during his committal hearing a magistrate tested the credibility of pelts accusers and the strength of his defense she said her job was to decide whether a jury could convict not whether it would she only dismissed charges where

established facts made the accusations impossible or where an accuser's credibility was so poor their attitude to giving evidence so cavalier that a jury couldn't possibly trust what they said on that basis the magistrate decided there was sufficient evidence for about the charges she examined to go to trial victims of sexual abuse by other people in the catholic church say they are delighted to die surely does restore your faith in the system you could say that the judge. went through very very far away the crimes against the cardinal spoke about climates and arm. yes it's. a very historical absolutely historic on wednesday cardinal pell place another court that will be a first hearing to determine where and when no longer just whether he'll stand trial under thomas al-jazeera meldon it's all from giving the e.u. canada and mexico a thirty day reprieve on paying your tariffs on steel and other minium exports the

u.s. presidents also reported to have reached agreement in principle with argentina australia and brazil and south korea might also be exempt despite fears of a trade war the us terrorists were due to be implemented on the first of may germany is among countries hoping for a compromise the will is the only interim government has acknowledged the decision of the us president i am firmly convinced that in interest of jobs in germany in europe and in the us we need long term provisions then that raising tariffs is the wrong way we need fewer not more duties in the global trade we need open multilateral and fair world trade. the dominican republic is breaking ties with taiwan to establish diplomatic relations with china the caribbean country is the latest to abandon taiwan leaving it with just nineteen diplomatic allies worldwide china split with the island after the civil war in one nine hundred forty nine while taiwan sees itself as a sovereign state it's never formally declared independence from beijing. well

the dummy can republic may be a small country but its decision to sever ties with taipei and recognize beijing still amounts nevertheless to a major diplomatic loss for taiwan it's just ten months since another small country panama also sever ties with taipei just nineteen countries now have diplomatic relations with taiwan and it seems that china's strategy is simply wants to isolate taiwan as much as possible and also to exclude it to prevent its participation in a number of international organizations well in the past taipei has accused beijing of playing a diplomatic money game and says it's a game it's no longer prepared to pay now beijing of course regards taiwan as part of its territory and is deeply suspicious and occasionally very antagonistic towards taiwan's independence leaning president zaya in when and they have warned

in the past that if any time unease leader were to declare independence then china would seize back the island republic by force the u.s. president says he likes the idea of meeting the north korean leader at the place of last week's historic summit with the south koreans in the latest move towards reconciliation south korea has now begun dismantling huge load speakers that used to play anti north broadcasts on the border in over reports from seoul. during times of heightened tensions here on the korean peninsula north and south korea have used the loudspeakers to broadcast propaganda messages across the border south korea's messages have included news weather and k. pop music it often provoked an angry response from north korea which tightly controls the information it allows its citizens to access but relations between the two countries have been improving south korean k. pop artists were even welcome to pyongyang recently for a performance and the leader kim jong un was in the audience and as part of the

declaration signed between him and south korean president on friday the two koreas agreed the propaganda campaigns would stop south korea begin dismantling its speakers on choose day in the north reportedly did the same and after that historic summit between the two koreas there is now the possibility that a meeting between u.s. president donald trump and kim jong un could take place at the same border village the date and location have not been confirmed yet but donald trump says he likes the idea of having the meeting at the demilitarized zone because he says if things work out there's a great celebration to be had on this site. join us now on skype from seoul is a great he's a junk fellow asia institute and they also world's most korea divergent. welcome to the news which venue do you think they will ultimately go for. well it's extremely difficult to say right now just a couple of days ago all the talk was about singapore lumber toward mongolia as the

two front runners both make sense fairly neutral have good relations with everybody else in the region and could be a decent platform for ongoing talks that would have to take place after the summit but a single tweet by donald trump and then the world has to revolve around it and very quickly reports are coming out that the north koreans would also be happy to go back to punjab the site of the moon kim summit and donald trump has that in his sights now as well so i guess now that's the front runner clearly mr trump and mr kim they both like a good photo op we're looking at you're talking to us pictures of the north korean leader meeting the south korean leader across that line of demarcation because not formally a border because they're not formally at peace but the headline grabbing sequences the front pages of course for both leaders would be huge if it was there inside the

d.m.z. yeah i think the initial sense was maybe it wasn't a grand enough venue but i think the optics of that moon came from the summit were very good and really the south koreans put on a good show and i'm sure that caught the eye of the president as well who if nothing else is very concerned about optics and how he's perceived by key stakeholders and is in his government how do you think they will try to buff up those optics between now and when the summit is show jule to take place i mean presumably we will not have anyone being called a little rocket man between now and when they actually shake hands. sure and really in the last few weeks as the south korea north korea summit began to take shape you you have noticed the rhetoric out of both chung and washington get toned down a little bit certainly trump is talking about hopes that he has or prospects for

a breakthrough. pale in an interview just yesterday seemed to step back a little bit or at least rephrase in a more careful way things that he'd said about the regime in pyongyang at a meeting in aspen last year and so both sides recognize that they need a period of rhetorical calm before they me and you're seeing that in action now really they're talking about if if it's going to be in it could be at the end of may and so this really just two three weeks of preparation time left to go potentially do you think behind the scenes because there's always back channel communication when this kind of thing is on the horizon do you think they're actually making peace on the ng feel good about what or how pyongyang wants to be perceived clearly kim jong un wants to be perceived as look i'm part of the nuclear club too you have to treat me as an equal not just some dangerous upstart.

yeah well i think kim acquitted himself quite well on the world stage just this week or last week rather he at times seemed a little nervous or uncomfortable is clearly outside the normal way is images controlled and presented to people and the world but it was a whole day of events and he came across as the leader of a state which indeed is and. i expect with each summit because trump is unlikely to be the last summit that kim jong un has in the coming months but talking about xi jinping going to going out. putin in our have suggested they might be ready for a meeting with kim as well and i think we're going to see this as a period of kim's emergence on the world stage whatever happens with the nuclear negotiations ok great to talk to you andrea ryan thanks very much a company here on news. and in the philippines capital manila thousands of union

workers have marked labor day with protests they're angry over the president would refer to turkey's failure to on a one of his main campaign promises union groups expected mr tertius to sign an executive to create a head of labor day to strengthen the employment rights of temporary workers. similar process to be taking place in the uneasy in capital jakarta people gathered outside the presidential palace calling for an increase to the minimum wage and better working conditions. if you weather your stuff or we have a look at the us now we're because there's going to be a really big tornado outbreak it looks like over the next few days so here's what we're seeing at the moment then plenty of cloud in the western parts but it's certainly been a very dry and barren april so far forcing nebraska and of the farmers till this so oil then this is what happened we had a dust storm and the visibility was reduced to nearly zero in places it caused quite a few accidents there there's another problem on the cards over the next day or so

in the form of this weather system that's marching its way eastwards because this one is likely to give us quite a significant tornado outbreak as i say so nebraska also kansas into iowa that's where there's the greatest risk during the day today and then as we head through into wednesday that will slip further southwards and this time working its way into texas and oklahoma as well and this would be the first tornado that we saw in oklahoma if indeed it does come off so it looks like we're going to have some very significant weather and most likely is around four pm afterwards that's when we are most likely to see these severe storms but not only tornadoes we could also see some large hail maybe even some flooding downpours as well so as that system then gradually works its way southwards ahead of it it's very different the winds are all feeding up from the south and dragging in some very mild air so the temperatures are rising look at new york twenty three twenty seven as we head into wednesday and then on thursday will be up at twenty nine that's eighty four quite tasty. thanks very much still to come here on the internet freedom tens of

thousands of people took to the streets of moscow. and we'll have more on the international crisis. the tennis stars taking to the waves in portugal. until now the coverage of most of the world was covering todd's tragedies. and that was it but not how people feel how they how they think and that's what we do we go anyway five and a half months out demanding an end to an education system that was introduced. to fill a void that needed to be filled. what were you hearing what. horrendous

things you misunderstood. or if you join us on the sag a lot of the major countries in the commonwealth have far bigger fish to fry and ship steet this is a dialogue. about. perhaps everyone has a voice what happens when the robots themselves are making to. join the. you're watching al-jazeera news hour live from doha let's just have a quick skim through our top stories for today thousands of people rallying in support of the opposition. as the armenian parliament ministers in the vote on his

bid to become prime minister he became the sole candidate for the post after a deadline passed on monday with other candidates coming forward it is the culmination of two weeks of protests saw the longtime leader. being ousted. iran is accusing the israeli prime minister of a propaganda show by revealing documents he says proves the twenty fifteen nuclear agreement was based on lies who showed reporters what he said was an archive of stolen iranian nuclear plans eleven days before the us president must decide whether or not to stick with the deal or to pull out of it. a massive fire in brazil has caused the collapse of a tower block there killing at least one person it's feared other victims may be trapped under the rubble of the former police headquarters in sao paolo rescue workers are trying to put out the fire before their search for casualties can continue more than one hundred firefighters back. the players throughout the night

two hundred people did manage to escape. it was really quick there was just time to grab some things in to get out and call on the next door neighbors the building collapsing really quickly. day two of the palestine national council's first official meeting in twenty two years this rare assembly is discussing critical issues although several key factions have decided not to attend the top of the list is whether or not to suspend the palestinians recognition of israel perry forsett recaps day one for us now from ramallah more than six hundred surviving members of the palestine liberation organizations main representative body arrived for its first full meeting in twenty two years an attempt to revitalize an aging organization according to some to democratise it to the palestinian president mahmoud abbas hand-picking new members how democratic could it really be it's a step in the direction of again the demise of the vitalizing our institutions i think we should strengthen the p.l.o.

not weaken it i believe we should take this is but then into the interim phase that it and put them into the. challenges we're facing including the so-called. this opening session was dominated by the palestinian president's freewheeling near two hour speech heavy on history light on policy the emphasis was on the vital importance of the pianos role in the face of israeli aggression and in advance of the publication of donald trump's peace plan. and if this council is harmed then the palestinian dream me seriously harmed therefore we were very determined to create the session we were hoping that everybody who wanted the future of palestine and the palestinian people we wish them to be here but they don't fortunately prefer to be abroad. but this meeting is as much about process as policy putting the right people in place transferring powers from this national council to a smaller body more closely aligned with our boss then port and thing is that

a delegation for city from the national council to center county so if anything happens to a woman if he wants to quit if something happens there is this central council who can actually act as the is the editor of the door and can elect and you'll put one challenge to such legitimacy the continued split with hamas in gaza in the midst of the bloody protests the recent weeks of us recommended children be kept away from the gaza border and israeli sniper fire near the beginning of mahmoud abbas the speech was a declaration that there could be no palestinian state without gaza being part of it but efforts to reconcile his fatah faction with hamas which controls gaza have folded so badly that to call them efforts really does stretch a point at this stage and there is no hamas representation here at this meeting from gaza hamas as leader delivered a preemptive denunciation of the p. and c.

meeting led me to be shocked when i met a mass confirms that any council that doesn't carry the unification idea of a palestinian ranks is a council that never expresses the whole of the palestinians it is a council hits the unity of our people and it's the organization and its legitimacy as representation over all palestinians. the real work of this meeting begins now as man one of us tries to solidify his power and ensure continued backing for his policies are a force that al-jazeera ramallah. now restrictions on internet freedom provoked a protest by ten thousand russians the kremlin ordered the blocking of the popular messaging app called telegram after the company refused to hand over the keys to its data encryption system mr and help. in moscow they demanded the government block the popular instant messaging app telegram the company had refused an official order to hand over the data encryption keys that

keep messages sent on telegrams private. to. russia's federal security service the f.s.b. says that privacy is a shelter for criminal and terrorist groups but telegram users see it as an attack on free speech it's probably just about their freedom within russia and it's a beginning it's a way to start. censorship to examine the symbol why do you think it is because the want for free internet in the world telegrams logo depicts a paper plane and hundreds were launched as demonstrators shouted anti putin slogans but opposition leader alexina valmy was there ensuring the authorities would not overlook this demonstration i was sure you could you know i have my rights and i don't care about these bands i do what i want what i need to do whatever i'm allowed to do under the constitution russia is not the only country in

which telegram has fallen foul of the oil storage fees on monday iran's judiciary sidelined the reformist government by announcing a ban on the app also citing threats to national security the clerics said telegram had been used to organize anti-government protests that swept the country in january it's a combination of something like what twitter that you might have here in the united kingdom so it's nice to platforms combined iranians. so it's very important and if you look back to previous elections kind of correlate the victories of those that won the most seats and harlem and or your own heinie very kind of see how they were so yes especially very well it ramps and all that was supporting so telegram you see. as a threat by those opposed to reform in iran and protesters in russia would say the same thing the apps found a russian entrepreneur is fighting back he's promised to fund anyone developing

proxy platforms online able to dodge the ban jonah al-jazeera. ok let's return to one of our headlining stories what's going on in the armenian capital the thousands of people arriving in support of the opposition leader nicole paasschen yon he is on the verge of becoming the next prime minister susanna petro sun is the associate director u.s.c. institute of armenian studies she joins us live now from about susanna petra sun welcome to the new is there a plan b. if the guy who wants to be prime minister doesn't get those six republican votes what happens then. up her i mean us constitution within seven days of the national assembly needs to hold another election from the prime minister and the second round of elections now then the parliament his songs and they need to be a parliamentary like sense of appointing next month. and is mr passion you know and

he's been on his feet for a long time is he in effect saying to members of parliament look i am not the old politics of this country i can be and i am the new politics of this country. that i am what i'm sorry is he saying to them i am the future of this country i am the new politics of this country. well he's basically saying i'm not here to politics in the country i think that the people and the politics of the country i mean there's been so much distrust of my government support that gave them one hundred so you think the people have spoken the street has spoken. in the country and go forward he belongs now to the people and to the people the candidate for prime minister. or to those people those supporters around you outside the parliament what do they want him to achieve.

well right now we're in. get advancer public square where tens of thousands have gathered to watch a live broadcast of the special session inside the national assembly where. members that guinea's are speaking there's a q. any way and they want their chanting his name to become prime minister they want you are like toral kurds and they want the parliamentary elections with hopes that will ensure free and fair elections toward degree is this being driven of course they want political social and economic reforms understood told me for interrupting you there i'm interested to know to what degree do you think this might be driven by a younger generation because there is now a younger generation who do not remember and they don't rate what the old u.s.s.r. stood for that's the history that's the past to them and they're very much looking

forward. of course the younger generation especially the students have played a huge part in this movement organizing their own students drags their own round encouraging their peers to come out of the question and it has broad support all across the lines of pa so she'll. look at goal i mean demographic to a graphic minority makes me. want to round in this republic so there you see signs from her towns villages from i.b.m. from all parts of the country. if mr passion is just about to become prime minister does he also have to change the electoral system because that system was changed not so very long ago and critics of the republican party said look it favors the republican party because of certain aspects that were built into it and that some fair and it damages democracy. of course yes actually

that's one of his first and main objectives he has said if he does become prime minute. sir today says that he will work with the majority republican party i'd change some of the sure that the likes. of the. monitoring. that i have a problem with. ok will leave you this is an impetuous sunday and yet have been great to talk to you thank you so much for joining us. the news chief breaks it a go see it was calling for a deal to preserve the so-called invisible border between northern ireland possibly u.k. and the republic of ireland michel barnier was in the irish republic on monday as laurence leamer reports he took a hard line on the issue of a so-called soft border if anyone needed proof of how the european union's chief breaks in the go is viewed in islands and the welcome from the irish prime minister
