of the forty two year old is a former journalist you came to prominence as editor of the popular liberal. daily the army and times a prominent opposition supporter at the two thousand and eight presidential election that brought such sexy on to power question young was jailed after post-election protests led to violent clashes he was released as part of a general amnesty formed any party promising to tackle corruption and was elected to parliament last year and often appears in public in a camouflage t. shirt in cap but that earlier today for a jacket and a tie to see election by parliament as prime minister well as head of the vote he had this message for parliament. passed on iran's new home from armenian people are reviving we are reawakening this awakening as national and its unstoppable zovko have kind of the people have the victory and this victory should be declared today robin foresee a walker sent us this update from yerevan this is not the result of proudly there

you go. in the front there are little old a little research. i've been waiting all day i think of how you think that the republican party didn't have a majority leader the only part of the. book illegal to disagree with that the only value right is being called a theory because. the republican party had little basically says you didn't take out for their own candidate they turned up the day. saturday and this is all about having little things to do to their frustration and the sense of. irritation that they were the ones being guided to just roll over and had over the reins of power. just a few weeks ago had no following who only has a few seats in his backyard. and yet today rabid nanny again as has been

demonstrated for the by. few days weeks even the studio to be able to bring tens of thousands of people to the streets just in the capital but around the country but it seems as if the republican agenda is bulky to look yet ready money i think not with the press and yes. this means that there will be a vote next week which is his kind of that he will again be debated. and a study failed we should expect to the interrelationship not to like to see you know you know media but the republican party will continue to pick. nominally its control and they're foolishly i lead to changes that the opposition has devolved to a lot go ahead and so therefore they will speak you don't hear much other than the they will tell you hearing from people on the job in america they'll be having the

dismantling of the republican party is equal to. the pressure so you feel secure possibly being that it saves enough but it does every possibility of us into this that is frustrated with the if you work out today but the movement the last believe that the past nearly. all the people just somebody that will go on my i will live to fight another day of this but i still just use bumper. on ahead sharon yon asian armenia expert at the foreign fast think tank chatham house and joins me now from your van dyke's very much for taking the time to speak to us so as we've been hearing the call passion and fail to go on that enough votes in the parliament to become prime minister according to the rules of the constitution what happens now. and there are three scenarios which could happen next i think one is that the ruling party might actually be trying to win some times and prepare for her the next round of voting which is going to happen in

a week's time so there might actually try to strike some sort of a deal with pasha yan. de augustine aristo who vote. once again in abeyance to trigger stopped parliamentary elections and if new elections are held under daire overside it means that there's a big chance that will result in more of the same w.s.d. administrative resources and another third option is that they might actually try to come up with their own candidate for an m.p. for the next two weeks for voting that seems a bit unlikely what about the opposition we know that many thousands of people have said. call to protest and be confined by the pitches we see coming to us live from the armenian capital now what about this campaign of civil disobedience will that

go ahead yes that will go ahead today it was actually announced and called for an all nation mobilization and to morrow since early morning of a civil disobedience actions are going to continue and i think people will heed this call and that they have seen what their cap of the and they are not going to stop they will fight till they reach what they want. there's going to be another vote next week on this but it's clear that the ruling party will not support. any circumstances the scenarios that you are describing do you see and election as being more likely or will the ruling party finally come up with their own candidate. i think that the ruling party will have to reckon with protests and districts and these protests have been generating huge pressure on

that but what i think is that they are simply are trying to buy some time it is unclear as to what exactly they're trying to reach they definitely don't want to giving that is a limit be to try to reach some agreement with passion and that would leave them in a in a in in a better situation for one and then term opposition a term government is formed arwa thanks very much appreciate your analysis on head sharing on joining us there from the capital of niña. thank you well now to another story we've been following over the past few hours at least twenty four worshippers have been killed in an attack on a mosque in northeastern nigeria police and movie and other mala states say that was an explosion during afternoon prayers and many died as they were caught a second blast residents say they saw a young man wearing a suicide vest entering the mosque with a question though no group has claimed responsibility many of the group. john

wieland going to has more from the nigerian capital abuja it happened as people were preparing for their afternoon prayers according to police it was a double bombing a twin bombings committed by two suicide bombers it happened in movie a critical town in the north east simply because this was an area controlled by the group in two thousand and fourteen for over a month and even if it was already liberated by then the german army then attacks have not stopped since then in fact last year a similar attack happened in the same area where the book group also eight attacked a mosque which left at least fifty people dead another attack in another group of sibylla civilians was again perpetuated where the group left basically about twenty civilians dead now this comes at a very critical time to date the nigerian army launched its so-called intensified operation that will end the presence of the book group they said in this band

within the next four months it happens also as the united states and the nigerian government in fact we knew its commitment to end the precedence of the group in the north east of nigeria. elsewhere as many as fifteen people have died in an attack in the capital of the central african republic protesters in the capital bungie have marched towards the presidential palace carrying the body of a priest shot dead in the attack people had gathered for a mass when gunmen opened fire and threw grenades at what was in the church at the u.n. has condemned the violence. the united nations mission in the central african republic miska reports that the situation in benghazi is tense and evolving with violence and casualties being reported in the capital's second and third districts. this follows an exchange of fire earlier today between central african internal security forces and the armed criminal gang force which operates in the biggest sunk area of

the challenges that. is how to prevent sophisticated attacks. the latest report from the u.s. special inspector general has more bad news the american military watchdog says the afghan government controls fifty six percent of districts the rest are controlled or contested by opposition groups taleban eisel and other anti-government fighters control twelve percent of the thirty five million population the resilience i saw and resurgent taliban on their spring offensive are facing thirty six thousand fewer afghan security forces this year no reasons being given for the significant fall that recruitment and retention of troops have been a problem for years at ghana's dense human rights commission says more than nine thousand civilians have been killed or wounded this past year up to marks the commission's expecting a higher number of casualties this year alone with a rise in the number of attacks jennifer glass al-jazeera. with the news hour live

south paolo it's not known what caused the fire. so we had the rights away i went up to the temple. every door and. i ran out of the people running to i left it up. to the sixth floor so i could call. everyone was able to get out through the fire and we what's the take over the building joining me now via skype from sao paolo is journalist sam cowie thanks very much for speaking to us so first of all has there been any more information on who was living inside this building and whether we now know that everyone definitely managed to escape. you know what we're not quite sure about that yes i mean since the morning it's been reported that at least one sunnis that died in this fire and at least four or five people all mixing in the presumed dead there

are dogs and rescue teams at the scene now that are just go back from there are many of the survivors a still that there are nations being collected and given now. especially jackets jeans or. sandwiches and food that's being given out we we understand that the fire was started because of a cooking accident which happened when one couple were started fighting and using alcohol to. cook with basically this was reported by the brazilian. global network and they quoted a witness as reporting that there was someone spilled the the burning alcohol on the fifth floor and that was shots of fire and then from that most of the people managed to get out using the stairs because there was no electricity in the building and the the advice has once came so that that's what we know

so far that's what's been reported. the brazilian president michel and up to the scene of the building collapse but what was the reaction because it seems people are very angry. yeah you know as any statesman would preach solidarity with the big seems to himself is a man from sao paolo he's probably saw he turned up but yeah he was not welcome to see people you know who did same they gave him the reports of things being strong would not see him money and it's important to remember that tamar is an incredibly popular president he's approval ratings are something like around i hope around five six to paint the same depending on what poll you read so you know it's always going to be difficult for such an unpopular president to suit to to be welcomed as to say you know such a tragedy quite frankly i mean that's always

a reflective of the mood of you know of the political mood in brazil right now there's a real dissatisfaction with the but it's. really see as being you know about as about a bounce is about as classic an example of the political class as the country is as you can find so yeah i mean it was it was on surprising that he was booed at the scene yeah. thanks very much from sao paulo with the latest on that story sam cali thank you the un's nuclear watchdog has reacted skeptically to the israeli prime minister's latest allegations about iran's nuclear program the i.a.e.a. said there were no credibility cations of iranian attempts since two thousand and one to develop nuclear weapons on monday benjamin netanyahu showed the media in tel aviv what he called conclusive proof that the two thousand and fifteen deal was based on lies anderson as reports. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu may have unveiled secret files and computer disks describing them as

conclusive proof that iran's nuclear program did exist this was an innocent looking compound it looks like a dilapidated warehouse he may have shown a building in iran where he says israeli intelligence agencies had found the evidence but in vienna a former director of analysis for the international atomic energy agency isn't impressed who speech is the dates are all missing everything he presented it appears to be related to developing nuclear weapons is longer growers where there is nothing he presented about the former weapons program arbet was news but netanyahu says the iranian program didn't end in two thousand and three it continued in secret the iran deal the nuclear issue is based on laws it's based on iranian lies any rein in deception one hundred thousand files right here prove that there logs at the white house

donald trump like what he saw and heard 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 iran's foreign minister dismissed the allegations saying in this tweet breaking the boy who can't stop crying wolf is at it again undeterred by cup toon fiasco at the u.n. general assembly you can only fool some of the people so many times whatever the word sanction could come soon trump will announce his decision on the iran deal by the twelfth of this month in a statement the i a e a refers to a twenty fifteen report that found some activities in two thousand and three relevant to the development of a nuclear device but nothing after two thousand and nine britain and france have said the development from israel does not change their view in support of the deal and over signatories remain steadfastly against the way the u.s.

appears to be leaning and drew simmons out. of the white house was forced to correct its response in sci his allegations because of what it called a clerical error in a written statement as press secretary initially said the israeli information shows iran has a robust kind of stymied clear weapons program but shortly after the has it was changed to had the difference matters because if iran's nuclear program was still in place now that would violate the two thousand and fifteen agreement benjamin netanyahu prepared to deliver that presentation israel's parliament voted to give the prime minister the power to declare war politicians voted to amend a law which previously required the entire cabinet to vote on the move it means netanyahu and his defense chief of victor lieberman have the authority to declare in quote extreme situations. rocko has seven diplomatic ties with iran accusing town run of supporting the policy front while the sario is fighting for

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's 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 the site a list of questions that robert little supposedly asked president trump a spot of his russia proud of reportedly been leaked donald trump slammed the disclosure on twitter calling it disgraceful and a witch hunt us media says the list contains at least forty questions for the president including trump's ties to russia and all the questions designed to determine whether he obstructed the inquiry itself special counsel mother is probing russia's alleged interference in the two thousand and sixteen presidential election batty call a knows more from washington. two very interesting questions i found inside this report from the new york times one says that the team special counsel robert muller once to ask president donald trump what he knew about his campaign specifically his once chairman paul metaphor what his outreach was to russian officials first systems within the campaign that we've known that there were russian nationals who reach out to the campaign offering help we didn't know that muller was looking at

the possibility that the trump campaign was actually soliciting it it also asked whether or not there were discussions about immunity or pardons for michael flynn former national security advisor general michael flynn he reached out to the russian ambassador before the inauguration later lied to the investigators about that pled guilty the line is now cooperate a witness so if the president or anyone in his team offered him immunity for his silence that could also be seen as obstruction now of course the president's taking to twitter to defend himself against these allegations he went on to say it seems hard to obstruct justice for a crime that never happened that's not at all how this works it doesn't matter if they're a crime can be proven if you obstruct justice that in itself is a crime in the united states you would under say disgraceful that they were leaked important to point out the new york times as they were leaked from people outside of trump's legal team it wasn't from the special counsel we can see no evidence that they've leaked at all during this investigation and he also went on to say that there were no questions about collusion which is absolutely not the case many

of the questions are looking directly at whether or not the trump campaign colluded with russia to get him to the white house. which is make his say they're prepared to issue a formal summons from to appear before them to answer questions of the facebook data scandal this is the co-founder of whatsapp resigns from facebook which is its parent company and what seen as a blow for privacy advocates in the firm and coom clashed with facebook executives over their attempts to use personal data from the messaging service in order to develop products and target ads facebook bought whatsapp in two thousand and fourteen and nineteen billion dollars. about pay tribute to coom at the facebook app developer conference yesterday young koum the founder of whatsapp announced that he is leaving us and moving on and i just want to take a moment to thank you and because the owner has done an amazing job building what's up his been a tireless advocate for privacy and encryption one of the things that i'm most

proud of is that we have built the largest fully encrypted communication network in the world and this would not have happened without yun and i'm deeply grateful for the work that is done. sharon today is the founder of life his partners an independent digital strategy consultancy and joins me now via skype from that conference in california thanks so much for taking the time to speak to us i know it's been very busy way you are and it feels like there is a very different vibe to this year's conference doesn't it after the scandal around policy and privacy facebook what did zuckerberg say to reassure people there in the room. about how there are a really tricky job to play today he had to balance the needs of people in the room who it's a developer conference so everyone in the room barry's trying to develop apps on facebook and when they've locked out a lot of the trolls in order to weed out access have an impact on people in the room but from a primarily black was talking to people outside the room today politicians regulate

and so on and particularly to advertise as it was a really tricky balance to get right but i think he struck the right right he was apologetic and he explained how they were going to make memes i mean it was going to be light on the product announcements but you touched on it how worried are developers then about restrictions to the access of data it's been a huge problem so that's about the community. because the cable time it's because daniel came about because he developed a misused the data and sold it on they have technical shit. as a result that's had a huge impact on people who want you make their living by looking things on facebook so some of the developer that i work with occasionally have told me that they've got projects they're simply unable to deliver they're unable to take that live requirement because facebook has not backed out of the great news today was that they they made some of that round opening that i think i think that they started to build a men's based looked about community and those outside. is there

a long term concern about how this is likely to play elderly we know that mark zuckerberg and those around him is saying all the right things but is there a feeling that there could be regulation down the line that has a negative impact on developers and and others that try to utilize facebook let's say for their own purposes. absolutely i think there's always a concern that that if facebook don't just manage to control itself it is developed community that regulates stepped in and bought them so i think they're trying to cut off the past by creating that they are able to manage that tell me more about what zuckerberg had to say and anything that because you know there's artificial intelligence there are so many potential pathways in possibilities for facebook to develop but did you hear anything today that made you particularly excited for the future. to think it wasn't a huge he says a big announcement but he did talk

a lot about i think me had two sites it one was how people use facebook to connect with their nearest and dearest so using messenger app to have ones who wants more conversations name that's a whole load of nice features that make that which often copy a lot of their rivals like snapchat that sort of a all of the stop but equally i could see that they would need quite a lot around how you use facebook as a platform to meet people you don't really know if they get them out to dating until today they will say or not says a big sponsor groups feature because they could see how it's so so exciting that so those out there that they've announced have the big announcement which is a bit of a surprise was the launch of the new populist go d r headset they did help to to build relations of people outside the room by announcing we're giving everyone here with a free headsets about what up someone all right they go share in a day thanks so much for joining us there from california thank you. eight asylum seekers from the so-called migrant caravan have been allowed to cross

over from mexico into u.s. territory scores of other latin american migrants have been celebrating the news as they wait their turn to enter the united states it took them a month to travel from honduras el salvador and guatemala the u.s. president has called them a threat to american security. well money. on the mexican side of the border so manny tell us first about these a migrants who reportedly been processed by u.s. officials. migrant activists told us today they confirmed today that eight in the bills were allowed to be processed at the inspection facility on the u.s. side of the border yesterday and we've actually learned in the last hour or so from those same migrant activists that and then an additional six three families were allowed to pass through the mexican side into that inspection facility against it as you can imagine spirits are high among the migrants that are part of the central

american group of migrants that have been camped out here at this point for for what's now three days and i should note that these that that because they're being processed this doesn't this doesn't necessarily mean that they will automatically be granted asylum this means that they're being processed that their claims for asylum are being heard but even if it does go well for them there's still a long road ahead for them in in detention that could last for several weeks up to six months or even even upwards of a year for many of them but i want to give you a sense of what it's like here today what you see is a lot of tents a lot of tarps because this is in many ways become an encampment for for around one hundred thirty or so individuals you see several of these migrants from central america honduras el salvador guatemala being fed by charity volunteers this is been a similar scene over the course of the last week since they arrived at the want to there's a lot of volunteers. that are very friendly towards migrants the city itself is very friendly towards migrants as well as deportees so they're getting

a lot of help from the people of t. who want to but i should note again that there are other asylum seekers behind this group that are members of the central american caravan that are mexican citizens individuals from other countries as well that also want to seek asylum we heard from mexican officials this morning that a group of those individuals not the members of this group of migrants but mexican citizens and individuals from other countries were also allowed to pass through today to plead their cases for asylum so what seemed to be an impasse yesterday is now a slow trickle of individuals that are being given that opportunity to plead their case. he says to border officials what about the eleven of the migrants that reportedly part of that same group who were arrested after attempting to cross the border illegally what he hearing about that. we heard that announcement by the u.s. department of justice alleging that eleven individuals part of the migrant caravan were captured trying to cross over the border illegally about six kilometers from

here were at the border crossing the the official u.s. border crossing into one of those individuals are apprehended approximately six kilometers away from here we can't confirm whether or not they were part of this migrant caravan we heard from activists that i've been traveling with this group from the beginning who have denied that any of those individuals were part of this caravan what i can say is that overwhelmingly people that we've spoken to have said that they do not want to do anything that is outside of the scope of u.s. law they don't want to do anything that's out of the scope of international law they want to use the existing asylum laws and the asylum process too to plead their cases to border officials and many of them are in high spirits because it appears that many of them will have the opportunity to do so now. thank you very much. well people have been taking to the streets around the world to mark may day which celebrates workers in their campaigns for improved labor rights in turkey dozens of people were detained after they tried to march towards istanbul's them all ic main
