don't parse you know you better direct mr passion in just as yesterday today you have not convinced me i do not see you as the supreme commander. was it mr passion your late to join the crowd and loot we still buoyant. he'd think if we're talking about negotiations i want to officially say that that may only refer to the political funeral of the republican party mr pushing yen has spearheaded the mass protests that led to the resignation of the veteran leader says suck c.n.n. last month is promising to rid the poor silvy country of corruption and poverty and bring about free and fair elections is now called for a general strike and for the protests you please rise and armenians are ready to return to the streets ahead of another vote expected next week in the who just loves it although by good the sun was set on a few victory anyway we won because we're together now what nichole passion and

says we will do it in get what they wanted today with a vow to continue this bridge was the first was a promise was it was a little bit on the floor it's probably first a look at al-jazeera there over. an eight showing on as an academy associate at the foreign affairs think tank chatham house she explains how the ruling party may respond to the opposition's actions. there are three scenarios which could happen next i think one is that the ruling party might actually be trying to win sometimes and prepare further for the next round of voting for which is going to happen in a week's time so they might actually try to strike some sort of a deal with pushing an. artist in our. bones pushing once again in abeyance to trigger stopped parliamentary elections and if new

elections are held under day or oversight that means that there's a big chance that will result in more of the same they will use the 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 i take that since a bit unlikely. i was twenty seven people have been killed in an attack on a mosque in northeastern nigeria the explosion happened during afternoon prayers and movie in my state many people died in the second blast while attempting to get out of the building and say young man wearing a suicide vest entered the mosque with worshippers. more from the nigerian capital of the ship it happened as people were preparing for their afternoon prayers according to police it was a double bombing need twin bombing committed by two suicide bombers in half in the

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 netanyahu speech is the dates are all missing everything he presented it appears to be related to developing nuclear weapons was longer growers where there is nothing he presented about the war weapons program are there is 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 cup tune fiasco at the u.n. general assembly you can only fool some of the people so many times whatever the 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 zero white house is backing israel's assertion that iran deal was reached under false pretenses will help get us more. 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 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 weren't accurate 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 and israel's parliament has given the prime minister the power to declare war without full government approval politicians approve the change to the law which previously required the entire cabinet to vote on a declaration of war and means prime minister benjamin netanyahu will only need the approval of his defense minister to declare war in extreme situations has one chief awesomeness rollo's warning conflict could break out between who he calls the real backers of the syrian war tension has been rising between hezbollah supporters iran

and israel in recent months tehran has warned that it will respond to what it calls israeli aggression after the bombing of an arms depot in northern syria on sunday that suspected israel was behind that strike which reportedly killed twenty six people mostly iranians. in syria the proxies have been defeated the proxies have failed we are now facing a new stage the war with proxies is almost over however it can start with the real backers today we don't know how israel is behaving in syria. he's leaving syria and the region the same thing applies to america america israel and saudi arabia will not stand still after the project in syria have failed after their project in iraq has failed and after the project of. joining us from washington d.c. is hillary mann leverett c.e.o.'s for change of political risk consultancy she also served in the u.s.

state department and has shared with iran and thank you so much for joining us always appreciate it so clearly the presentation by benjamin netanyahu which those types of presentations are new from him and obviously it's aimed at ripping up the nuclear deal the j. c.p.o. a is it a and it also going to war. in some ways i think it is i think for the israeli there and for prime minister netanyahu i should say in particular who i've seen up close while i served in the u.s. government in the clinton administration when he was first prime minister and in the bush administration too when he came to go the u.s. congress that the u.s. should invade iraq so i've seen his his actions up close from when i worked at the national security council in the white house and in the state department right for prime minister netanyahu i think it is critically important that israel be able to reassert reestablish its absolute military dominance and this is critically

important for them in two areas in the nucular realm because iran cannot possibly have any kind of nuclear project that could check israeli ambitions and in syria they israelis are very concerned that they don't have absolute military dominance in syria because of iran's presence there so i think the israelis are very focused on going to war if necessary to reinstate reestablish their absolute military dominance the problem is that israel really can't do it by itself right now and so they're trying to go the united states to go to war for them. so we talk about syria right and israel is concerned about the iranian influence there and they have been pushing and pushing and pushing iran at some point might iran push back. i think there's a debate in iran i think you have president rouhani and foreign minister zarif are longtime champions of negotiation i sincerely believe having negotiated with the

now foreign minister zarif when he was a lower official in the iranian government after nine eleven i think there is no issue that he thinks you cannot meet with dialogue he is absolutely firmly committed to negotiation and for dialogue as a as a as an important resolution to any problem but there is a debate there are others in iran that think that iran success its effectiveness in surviving the revolution and establishing its own its own destiny is really because of its military its ability to build an independent military program and so for that part of the debate in iran it's extremely important to resist what the israelis are doing resist what the united states is doing and to deter the united states and israel i don't think though that they will do something provocative especially before may twelfth before the elections in iraq the elections on may sixth in lebanon and the deadline for the iran nuclear deal here i think the iranians will lay low until at least may twelfth and even that i don't think

they're going to do something that will any of the international community but they will do something that will tell the israelis and washington that iran is not going to just take this take this lying down when you said that i mean go back to the first point that you made that you thought that you know clearly iran israel rather is trying to get the u.s. on board with them how receptive do you think the u.s. is to that it certainly seems that on some level at least president donald trump is but you know there's a lot of advisor city has it seem to be on different pages there. to me this is the million dollar question there is real divide and a back and forth within the trump administration and who can influence whom in the trump administration is critically important on a range of issues we see this in terms of saudi arabia we see this or you run israel on a range of issues trump himself i don't think has any four principles he on one hand wants to get the united states out of the middle east and so he can then turn

to a more cautious advisers like his defense secretary jim mattis but on the other hand he thinks that using highly militaristic rhetoric and even very provocative militaristic actions helps give him leverage and so in that area he's turning more and more to his new national security adviser john bolton who is extremely militaristic personality very close to prime minister netanyahu and so i think for trump he's he's turning to each of these advisers when he thinks that they can help him but he hasn't chosen one over the other at this point hillary mann leverett all are always great to talk to you thank you very much morocco has ever diplomatic ties with iran accusing to iran of supporting the polisario front hall sario is fighting for independence for western sahara which is under mostly rock and control q. says iran and its lebanese ally has a lot of supporting training and arming its fighters will close its embassy in

tehran a mole expelled the iranian ambassador and reply. the reason behind what we did today is related to a threat to our national security and to the safety of our citizens morocco has obtained strong indications and evidence that hezbollah in coordination with and support from the iranian embassy. has provided all kinds of support to the posts are you to form a military commando and to train the post sorry that they even handed arms to the palace are you in september and november i have handed all this evidence today to my iranian colleague during a visit to tehran. china's foreign minister a set to arrive in north korea for a two day visit the highest ranking chinese official to visit the north and three. relations have been strained over a card in chinese exports to pyongyang as part of sanctions against its nuclear program a comes as north korea's leader kim jong un wants to improve ties with neighboring countries and march he visited beijing in his first overseas trip as a leader joining us from beijing by skype is tongue senior fellow in the nuclear

policy program at the carnegie saying how the center for global policy we appreciate your time so much so what would be the objectives that the key thing to happen for this foreign minister to be making this visit what are the goals. i think it's part of a larger after to be improved the china north korean biological relationship especially given all you promise the hats progress over the few weeks last few weeks the months china increasing the concerned itself might be enough to solve this problem says that china has been intrigued imputing that's running their religion making sure that it's north korea will be that china will be closed he can stop. the breed's by north korea so i think mr wong the foreign minister analysis that comes over he's admitted to agree will receive a detailed degree from most was what the real major results are in turkey in

summary and also i think there are two specific items coming out of that interference i mean meeting dads might concern china one the the what's the next step after can do all your needs wades us presidents don't trump by june there is a mission being about a broadening. both that is into either true or cold will not actually need to impose this and i don't want to make sure that it's in and a full on discussions china will have the seats and the negotiating table there is another nation about which no it's closing down its nuclear test decides. as a result of interpreting some of it i think that has the interest to also be included in this approach that's the nuclear test site it's also very close to the chinese border with let me let me ask you this. and you talked about how china has sort of

been left out of this you know on the one hand and president donald trump in the us a pivot a lot of pressure on china to in terms of pressure on north korea at the same time for the past few weeks few months donald trump has been. you know had this just a lot of tough rhetoric about almost a trade war with china so he's asking for one thing and then kind of pulling them on the other hand at some point isn't he going to need china again for this all to work. i think president where you can give the can the chinese help in the cooperation. it's still important for china to continue implementing the u.n. security council resolutions in terms of imposing sanctions on north korea and implementing those i'm sure and in the comprehensive manner that it will make sure that the pressure will be kept on north korea so people. will seat at the new

negotiating table for as long as possible but another major factor it's also true which is the china u.s. strategic rivalry is growing especially over the positive people minds of so many chinese scholars becoming increasingly warry the u.s. and north korea might reach a deal that the screwed china from this process and also could undermine chinese interests so there is a very same sentiments in the academic community in beijing that china should develop a closer relationship with north korea making sure that u.s. and north korea wouldn't collude together against china in the future ok. tong south thank you very much for joining us from beijing and having the french president is on his first official trip to australia enjoying the prime minister malcolm turnbull and commemorating those who lost their lives in the two world wars

camped outside of the u.s. border crossing in want to you can see these tarps and the tents as the as some rain is starting to fall there have been activists coming by to give many of these individuals food and blankets and toys to some of these kids as a distraction from from that's that stress and anxiety that they may have felt yesterday when that anger when confusion was high over whether or not these individuals would be allowed to make their cases to border officials on the other side now there was also an announcement by the u.s. department of justice saying that eleven individuals have had been apprehended trying to cross the border illegally saying that they were members of this migrant caravan we spoke to those same migrant activists who who say that they denied that those individuals were part of that so-called migrant caravan but we cannot independently verify those claims but we can say is that overwhelmingly the people that we've spoken to that are part of this group of these one hundred thirty that are camped outside of the u.s. border is that they don't want to do anything illegal they want to go through the

existing is silent asylum laws in the united states they want to use the existing asylum laws under international law to plead their cases to border officials and it looks as though the general sense is that that impasse that existed yesterday is over and is now a sense that there will be a slow trickle of people who will have that opportunity to make their way to the u.s. side and plead their asylum cases if that doesn't happen today the sense is that that will happen in the days to come. so ahead on al jazeera locked out of their own homes after playing a battleground the syrian law that could deny people their basic properties. and sporting a tap on a respirator resulted in the suspension i think you are merely. from long flowing on in winds to an enchanting desert breeze you're.

about the fact that this nation is so exceptional and so incredibly blessed and the facts that derive from that are that it also creates a responsibility a duty for america all across the world and i know for certain that america can't can't execute that duty can't achieve its objectives absent you will absence executing america's foreign policy in every corner of the world with incredible vigor and incredible energy a chop lawyer former trump lawyer that is says a special counsel robert muller has raised the possibility the president could be subpoenaed as part of the russian best occasion always looking into moscow's alleged influence on the two thousand and sixteen u.s. election yes media released a list of questions all are reportedly wants to ask trump including whether he obstructed the inquiry. has more from washington. special counsel robert muller

wants to talk to the president as part of his negotiation he allegedly provided some of the questions to donald trump's lawyers that he wants to ask now leaked to the new york times it asks what the president knew about his 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 it asked 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 into 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 lied 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 a crime that never happened witch hunt 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 impeachable offense regardless of what they find in the original investigation 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 asked 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 apart was in fact talking to you. russians about the campaign

that would put it at the very top of the trump campaign that would be very close to mr trump himself this is a high stakes question for the president talk to moeller and why that's a crime or sit down and refuse to answer questions that could have serious political repercussions but either way the clock is ticking he'll soon have to decide what to do. washington millions are privately owned homes could be seized by the government and syria under a new property law syrians have until the middle of next month to present thirteen's of ownership or risk losing their properties said whoa to reports from neighboring beirut. 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 do much to. 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.

just. properties and houses. 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 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 but also i would make the property was the last card the regime is using its punishing the people who betrayed a lot 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 course of the massacres 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 property ownership to the benefit of the syrian government and its supporters it also accused the government . 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.

is dangerous 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 and repopulating areas with the loyalists one thing is clear the government is taking advantage of its growing strength by beginning to shape syria when the war and. a court and. the catholic church is the most senior officials is likely to face two separate trials related to sex offenses george pell is the vatican treasurer and a former archbishop of melbourne the charges relate to his time as a member of the catholic clergy in australia between one thousand seven hundred ninety eight not guilty as expected back and forth in two weeks. and

investigation has uncovered allegations of years of abuse of young former coach and this case comes just months after former sports dr laura nasser admitted to molesting some top athletes in the u.s. john heilemann reports. dozens of brazilian gymnasts have accused a former coach of the national team of sexual abuse among them the pan american games gold medalist but. that psychological pressure on a ten or eleven year old boy he sent for me and when i went to the bathroom and he told me take a bath and relax ok i took the bath and suddenly he entered into the bathroom and got into the bath like if we were two children playing the accusations emerged in a global t.v. news investigation fernando they cover you lopez denies them he's since been fired from his job in the sports community center. to the point of that kind of accusation i have nothing to say they have to prove that. i know that i have my

conscience clean because i never raped anybody i never molested anybody in the way it's been told it comes on the heels of another scandal for me usa team dr larry nasser admitted that he molested some of that country's top gymnasts more than two hundred fifty women and girls say here abuse the the allegations against mr lopez and now being investigated by the public prosecutor's office john homan now does it or the secretary is insisting the british government won't agree to an e.u. proposal which could see northern ireland subject to different customs arrangements the rest of the u.k. david davis says the e.u. has wrongly interpreted an agreement reached in december between london and brussels at pledge to maintain regulatory alignment and ireland north and south after the u.k. leaves the e.u. on order to prevent a hard border on the island. northern ireland we clearly is highly controversial we stand by the words used in the joint report december but we think we don't agree

with the commission's interpretation of that we think what they have proposed is something that in the words of the prime minister nobody could agree to infected a division of the kingdom down down the irish sea and we are still working on our response to that former member of the irish republican army has told al-jazeera that he fears prox it could lead to a resumption of the armed conflict and whether in ireland his comments come as the european union's parks and rec said negotiator was visiting the city of london there or derry as it's also known mr brown is urging the prettiest government to commit to staying in the customs union lawrence lee reports there's a pony a certainly putting the miles in he's been all over all of that here he was to be worthlessness and it was except in a city that source so much violence he had a chance to stress the importance of bricks it's not damaging the piece we're all going to bring you from should we be able to maintain. the very first agreement

or it's done mentions. the city still has two names londonderry for the protestant unionists a with the river derry for catholic irish nationalists who never took down the signs of protest against what they saw as british occupation the ira force on the streets until recently it felt like a long time ago anybody under the age of thirty could have no real idea about just how bad things used to be here but clearly the fact that they built a peace bridge to join up the ones divided communities tells you everything you need to know they had of course assume that the troubles were a thing of the past that they could never happen again but then again they haven't thought about bricks it's. the border with the republic of ireland is just a five minute drive out of the city and as of now you switch countries without any sign but we do have the present when thomas was growing up the road was blocked and
