12:02 am
august in a semi after a two two draw in madrid. armenian opposition leader nicole passion yan has called on his supporters to launch a nationwide campaign of civil disobedience after the ruling party blocked his bid in parliament to become prime minister passion and declared the party's decision an insult to painful tens of thousands of his supporters have been rallying in the capital yerevan after weeks of protests that saw the resignation of the country's former leader robin for us jay walker has more from here if. this was the result. there you go to. go look at all. the way they are hoping they will probably because the majority.
12:03 am
but the only tell you that to be stuck with eighty nicole plus the republican party has labeled by just the edge of the sweepstakes how to put forward their own candidate they started out today to vote but in the eighty's it was all about that about having it all became the teacher has been there frustrates them and then there's the. irritation that they were the ones being disrespected because you roll over and the times over the races no one's going to do it on the dotted line you think you're going to get a few weeks ago you had no follow ways to move on to only has a few seats and anybody didn't install them again yet maybe that you don't regret anything again it has been demonstrated for the past few days weeks even g.b. have been able to bring tens of thousands of people into the street below just in the capital but around the country but it seems as if the republican party is
12:04 am
looking ready money to do that not with the past and yet the obvious next leader just means that there will be a vote each week next week which is his kind of if you will again be debased it. and it's that failed we can expect you to call the interrelation wealthy like you need it you know i mean you know but the republican party will continue to act. nominally it's controlled and they're fully and that's true changes that the opposition is devolving into a lot go ahead and so that will they will spike it up to the battle here and you know they can tell em look at the we'll tell you hearing from people all agree that it's ok mark leno me i'm not going to get excited maybe it's a little odd that the republican party as we call personality. are probably a precious old telstra possibly being that it stays in the bush that they would kill each of us and victim it is frustrating that they didn't work out today but
12:05 am
the movement the left will leave with this depression like all the people just tell me. well mine and i will live to fight another day. so who is nicole passion am the forty two year old is a former journalist who came to prominence as editor of the popular liberal daily the armenian times a prominent opposition supporter the two thousand and eight presidential election that brought a surge the guess ians of power was jailed after post-election protests led to violent clashes he was released as part of a general in the city formed a new party promising to tackle corruption i was elected to parliament last year. often appears in public and a camouflage t. shirt and cap so he swapped them for a jacket and tie to seek election by parliament prime minister well we can now speak to a male sam young from the institute of armenian studies out the university of southern california parts very much for coming on al-jazeera it's understandable
12:06 am
those people waiting this evening feel cheated indeed if they were watching the republican party in the last few days saying they wouldn't feel the candidate they must have thought that this was a shoo in but despite that how many do you think will get some ball with the call for civil disobedience will it be widespread well it's been stronger person two weeks into suppression is that it's going to continue to be strong is always the man's of this moment have not been met the republican party indications are still ready in principle to approve nicko pushing us candidacy as prime minister so the issue is when rather than whether it's going to happen as a reporter on the ground robin or say walker was just saying there is a chance next week that indeed this could be changed around do you think many more members of the republican party mind defects might decide that they need to support passion. well one surprising part about this vote has been that there's been so few
12:07 am
defections so far basically two members of parliament have defected and hope is that there is going to be more of that happening hope on the part of the supporters we will see i think part of the reason has been that there's not as been as much lobbying of individual members of the republican party faction mr pushing on and part b. you know this is this is all completely new for me as far as the parliamentary democracy this which only occurred in the last couple weeks so everybody is learning as they go both the rule of the party's been in power for over ten years and pushing a movement they are completely new to this parliamentary democracy bashing young refers to them as as elite republican party elite do you feel that they are out of touch with what is happening on the streets. well certainly movement has shown that the republican party is out of touch with what a majority of
12:08 am
a significant portion of the i mean people are citizens want whatever republican party is trying to resist and trying to show its staying power as far as the future of the our new politics and in principle with mr pushing and being elected prime minister with the sort of huge public support it would probably be to benefit to the of the country to have a strong opposition party in parliament we'll see how it exactly works out rather it's gotten heated today because of the frustrations on the part of the opposition and there are some headed rhetoric on the part of the ruling party i hope the course of this as it has been nonviolent has been. very sophisticated almost on the side of the moment will continue even if that expense this week and with the view to the next vote on next tuesday as you say huge public supports a sort of popular wave but can he actually do what he's promising to do especially
12:09 am
with weeding out corruption is it is it possible to do that as one man coming in and carrying that banner. well certainly this kind of looks like prince rescuing a princess from the dragon and it has this sort of fairy tale feeling and i don't think mr pushing it was ready for this couple of weeks ago when he was just starting the protests i hear from other opposition supporters of you know the minimum they were trying to do is just to make sure that what previous president tried to do continue to rule armenia indefinitely as has been the case throughout central asia would not go without public punishment as well as protests so that was the minimum that they were trying to do right now with this sort of huge public support they have to try and try to do more of course there's no ready recipes for battling eradicating corruption of course there are also very clearly things that could be done that have not been done by this government and at least with this new
12:10 am
wave of new generation of armenian politicians there is renewed hope of the armenian world you could say around the around the world the i mean communities around the world that something will be done and that something will be positive versus the. incumbent government that was not inspiring much hope at all we are very grateful for your insight and me a phantom young thanks very much for coming on. twenty seven worshippers have been killed in an attack on a mosque in northeastern nigeria police in movie and adam our state say there was an explosion after noon prayers and many died as they were caught by a second blast while fleeing people say they saw a young man wearing a suicide vest entering the mosque with worshipers no group rask claimed responsibility but many are blaming her own jamal island ogun has more from the nigerian capital abuja it happened as people were preparing for their afternoon

12:16 am
credible. indications of iranian attempts since two thousand and nine to develop nuclear weapons on monday by the netanyahu showed the media and tell of a what he called conclusive proof that the twenty fifty iran nuclear deal was based on lies andrew symonds 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 mir who speech is the dates are all missing everything he presented it appears to be related to developing nuclear weapons was longer growers where there
12:17 am
is nothing he presented about the former weapons program there 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 law as any rain in deception one hundred thousand files right here. prove that their log 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 cartoon fiasco at the u.n. general assembly you can only fool some of the people so many times whatever the
12:18 am
words action 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 other signatories remain steadfastly against the way the us appears to be leaning and drew simmons out zero. on the white house says the iran nuclear deal was reached under false pretenses press secretary sarah sounders tell the news conference as he ran lied to the six world powers it broke of the agreement with back in twenty fifteen. what was said. there are further indications that u.s. president donald trump intends to withdraw from the iran nuclear agreement this time at a white house press briefing with press secretary sarah sanders she admits that the
12:19 am
white house did coordinate in advance of a press conference held by the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and will critics argue there was nothing new in terms of information about iran's nuclear program in that and in that press conference the white house press secretary says it is further proof that iran was not truthful about the extent of its program in advance of signing the iran agreement the deal was made on a completely false pretense iran lied on the front end they were dishonest actors and so the deal that was made was made on things that were inaccurate and we have a big problem with that given the white house contention that the agreement was signed under what the press secretary called false pretenses it is a further indication that the united states is planning to withdraw from that agreement to limit iran's nuclear program the president has until may twelfth to make his decision potentially recertifying iran's compliance under the terms of the deal if he does not do that he may decide at that time to reimpose iran sanctions

reunion colleague during a visit to tehran. at least fourteen 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 duracell salvador guatemala manuel reptile i was in to you are on the mexican side of the border manuel what more can you tell us about this fourteen who are reportedly now being processed and how is the patience of those still outside. well migrant activist did confirm for us today that eight individuals were allowed to cross over to the u.s. side in the inspection facility at the border those eight all women and children and then we heard again today several hours ago confirmation from those same activists saying that an additional six were allowed to pass through to make their pleas for for asylum in the united states we should stress however that just
12:22 am
because they have been allowed to plead their cases to make their case for political asylum does not necessarily mean that they will be granted asylum they're only now being given that opportunity to go about this legal process that could take anywhere from six months to up words of a year before they know whether or not they're going to be granted that asylum i want to give you a sense of of where we are right now we're outside of the u.s. border crossing into a lot of what you see behind me are tents and tarps because this is basically an encampment now as people have been waiting for what is now the third day it was a lot of confusion on the first day as to whether or not folks here would be allowed to turn themselves in to u.s. border authorities now being given food by by charity organizers by volunteers there's been a lot of medical volunteers coming in to check up on on children because a lot of people been out here camped out at night in the cold we've had periods of rain so there have been a few people sneezing and kids that have been coughing so they're getting a lot of that attention and a lot of you hear
12:23 am
a lot of heartbreaking stories just as heartbreaking are other migrants that are not a part of the central american migrants group that are from mexico from other countries that are waiting their turn in line to plead their cases for asylum but it seems as though that impasse that we saw yesterday as to whether or not people would be allowed to play in the recent cases that's over we're now seeing that trickle of people coming in a few at a time and we expect that to be the case over the over the next few days now the u.s. department of justice says eleven of those from the caravan apparently where arrested after trying to cross illegally you know about. that was the announcement by the u.s. department of justice saying that eleven individuals the department just said that those individuals were part of this migrant care are being prosecuted for crossing over illegally we can't confirm that independently we were told by a migrant activist that are here that that they are not members of that migrant caravan we don't know for sure if that's the case what i can tell you is that
12:24 am
overwhelmingly people here have told us there's about one hundred thirty individuals that remain that are waiting their turn in line to plead their cases for asylum they tell us that they don't want to do anything illegal they want to use the existing asylum laws to plead their cases to that the united states but keep in mind at its height this so-called migrant caravan consisted of somewhere around fifteen hundred people so it very may well be the case that some individuals who broke off from the group initially may have tried to cross over the border illegally but we again we can't confirm that independently but overwhelmingly people here are telling us that they want to go about this the legal way they want to use existing asylum laws in the united in the united states existing asylum laws under international law and that involves themselves turning themselves in to u.s. authorities and going about the asylum process the legal way good to talk well on the border with mexico. the homes of millions of syrians could be seen by the government under a new property law syrians have until the middle of next month to present. a ship

or risk losing their purposes and that includes the hundreds of thousands of syrians who used to live in rebel controlled areas but fear which government controlled territory they know how the reports. was forced to flee because of the war now he doesn't just fear permanent exile in his own country but losing his home in too to much. the syrian government is threatening to confiscate the homes of anyone who don't provide land ownership deeds that requires returning to government controlled territory for many that is not an option. assad regime just. hundreds of thousands if not millions of syrians have been forced from their homes many of them left after government forces recaptured opposition territory they fled because they are wanted for opposition activities they could face arrest and some
12:26 am
fear they'll be killed others simply don't want to live under the rule of president bashar assad who they blame for the deaths of so many syrians and also i would make the property was the last card the regime is using its punishing the people who betrayed a law number ten as it is known was published on the syrian state news agencies website the deadline for registration is made the tents and unclaimed land will be sold at auction the government says the law will overhaul the land registry others disagree we've already seen an example of outskirts of damascus and in the new development on what was said. where actually what happened there is that the informal residents of these areas were forced out of their homes they were dispossessed with no compensation and the likelihood of them getting any kind of compensation is almost nonexistent so i think we will see the same scenario play out over and over again. international aid agencies say just nine percent of syrian

refugees and displaced have their property title deeds with them that means millions could be stuck in camps in syria and across the region. this could put pressure on refugee host nations already european countries are voicing concern the german foreign ministry said the legislation could change a property ownership to the benefit of the syrian government and its supporters it also accused the government. of hindering the return of a huge number of syrians. among them he was an opposition media activist and says returning to government controlled territory would be suicide. because it changes that demography which the government is doing in areas under its control the law is unjust the government says the new law is needed to begin the reconstruction of areas damaged by war opponents say it's about demographic changes

12:33 am
campaign team's communications with russians why he fired f.b.i. director james comey and what he knew about hacked democratic e-mails but it also points to a new area of investigation and ask quote what knowledge did you have of any outreach by your campaign including by paul mann afford to russia about potential assistance to the campaign the key word there outreach as in did the campaign actively ask for russia's assistance another question raises new questions it asks after the resignations what efforts were made to reach out to mr flynn about seeking immunity or possible pardon basically when former national security advisor michael flynn resigned did you offer him a pardon to stay quiet potentially that could be a crime of obstructing justice flynn mudd to the f.b.i. about communications he had with russia pled guilty and is cooperating with the investigation trump took to twitter to defend himself writing it would seem very hard to obstruct justice for
12:34 am
a crime that never happened which aren't but that's not how this actually works if investigators are looking into a crime and someone tries to interfere with that investigation that in and of itself is a crime and a potentially teachable offense regardless of what they find in the original invest . he also went on twitter to complain and say in part that it was disgraceful that the questions were leaked to the media no questions on collusion he wrote a couple of problems with that the new york times says the leak came from trump's side and as for no collusion most of the questions are actually about collusion we've already seen plenty of evidence of collusion this is not the first piece but obviously if mr man afore it was in fact talking to russians about the campaign that would put it at the very top of the trunk campaign that would be very close to mr trump himself this is a high stakes question for the president to talk to muller and why that's a crime or sit down and refuse to answer questions that could have serious
12:35 am
political repercussions but either way the clock is ticking he'll soon have to decide what to do. washington one of the catholic church's top officials will face a criminal trial in australia to defend himself against sexual abuse charges going back decades ago to melbourne has decided that is enough evidence against cardinal george pell to be tested in front of a jury andrew thomas reports. cardinal pell arrived at a melbourne course 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
12:36 am
catholic church was writing. the magistrates had barely finished. before he answered very very not guilty they were only words during the hearing. but it's not. illegal 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 catholic during his committal hearing a magistrate tests missed charges where established facts made the accusations impossible all where in 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
12:37 am
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 that i certainly does restore your faith in the system you could say that the judge. went through very very far away the other crimes against the cardinal spoke about the crime and. yes it's. a very historical absolutely historic on wednesday cardinal pell will face 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. well that is code a is the editor of the national catholic reporter and joins me now from kansas city missouri thanks very much for joining us on al-jazeera do you think the fact that such a senior member of the catholic church is now having to face this trial is almost a turning point for those campaigning against the sexual abuse allegations within the catholic church you know i wouldn't call it a turning point but it's certainly
12:38 am
a important marker to show that even up to that level that the reform of the church that has been in process for thirty five years is finally able to reach into those highest highest levels how do you think the trial is being perceived by members of the catholic church and the catholic communities around the world well i think they're they're pretty anxious to see what the outcome is going to be there you know this be going on quite a long time. left the ballot a year ago almost already and there were hearings before that and so there are a lot of anxiety to see where this is going to come come out i mean all eyes are on pope francis for his reaction i suppose whether or not we'll get any especially because of the sort of criticism that was leveled at him with what happened in chile with him having to make an absolute apology for not believing some of the the
12:39 am
people he said that they had been abused there with one of his senior bishops do you think he will make any remark or will just leave this to the the courts to to move forwards. well i mean he is in the past he has said that you know he's warned against but he calls judgment by gossip and he's said that you know the justice system has to do its job and were or were but that he made those statements before he got into trouble with in chile where he was pretty testily confronting some journalists that said you know that we're asking you about abuse allegations against a bishop and he was saying your bring me prove bring me proof and that upset a lot of the community and in fact so much so that he actually sent investigator there to find out what the charges are as you said he admitted to making grave errors in how he handled that situation and so how he's going to handle this is
12:40 am
there some question about as far as a global perception of the catholic church is it important though that these trials do go ahead and you know it seems to be that the judge in this trial is very much that they have this very very catholic not said i believe there is guilt but i believe there are says that should be given this incredibly important trial because of that the i think he had it exactly right the importance of this is that it's going to trial and that is that is extremely important it's not trying to be dealt with under cover it's not being shuffling someone away and you know convicting him under court rules the troops rules that only allow him to live a quiet life a career in meditation things like that but we've seen in the past through some pretty abusive situations as a card to how has to stand before the secular court and prove his innocence there that's extremely important that cannot be overlooked very grateful you know
