says we will do it in get what they wanted to say but they vowed to continue this where it was the focus was. well it's a way to little bit of good for it's probably first a look at al-jazeera. at least twenty seven people have been killed in a double bomb attack on a mosque in northeastern nigeria the first explosion went off during afternoon prayers in luby in adam our state many people died in a second blast one attempting to get out of the building witnesses reported seeing a young man wearing a suicide vest entering the mosque with has gone out from under a serious journal and dog and is in nigeria's capital of. 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 northeast simply because this was an area controlled by the

boko haram group in two thousand and fourteen for over a month and even if it was already liberated by the nature and 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 governments in fact we knew its commitment to end depressants of the group in the north east of nigeria the un's nuclear watchdog is skeptical about the israeli prime minister's latest allegations regarding iran's nuclear program the i.a.e.a.

says that there were no credible indications of iranian attempts to develop nuclear weapons since two thousand and nine on monday benjamin netanyahu presented what he called conclusive proof that the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal was based on lies to iran as rubbish his allegations of zeros under some in support. 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 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 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 deal is based on laws it's based on iranian law as any remaining deception one hundred thousand files right here prove that their 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 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 u.s. appears to be leaning and to simmons' out zero one as you had there the white house appears to be backing israel sessions at the iran deal was reached under false pretenses smore from can really help out in washington. 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 i am 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 has been a leader hassan nasrallah is warning that conflict could break out between who he

calls the real back because of the war in syria tensions been rising between has been a supporter iran and israel in recent months tehran has warned that it will respond to what it called israeli aggression off of the bombing of an arms depo in northern syria on sunday it's widely suspected that israel was behind the strike which reportedly killed twenty six people most of them iranians will hillary mann leverett served in the u.s. state department in the go seated with iran she says that israel is trying to carve out greater influence in the region but needs u.s. backing to do so. 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 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 there is a 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 iran israel on a range of issues trump himself i don't think has any core principles he on one hand wants to get the united states out of the middle east and so he can then turn to more cautious advisors like his defense secretary jim mattis but on the other hand he thinks that using highly militaristic rhetoric and even very provocative 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 israel's parliament given the prime minister the power to declare war without full government approval politicians approved a change in the mall which previously recorded the whole cabinet on a declaration of war now means that from mr benjamin netanyahu will need only the approval of his defense minister. i weather update next year on al-jazeera then. fifty years of the one nine hundred sixty eight uprising may day protests turned violent in france during a new spring of discontent. celebrations in mexico as the first of the so-called migrant caravan crosses the border into the us.

president re impose sanctions on iran and in effect that deal with iran and if so what would happen next they did they think that iran was sticking to its side of the arrangement now neither the president nor australia's prime minister would speculate on what might happen off the may the twelfth know what they engage in whether or not iran was sticking to its side of the deal but both president and prime minister said that what they wanted it was the deal to continue in some way now president micro was very clear that he doesn't think that the current deal is sufficient he thinks it needs to be brought a bigger with a tighter inspection regime in iran but what he said is that rather than throw away this deal he hopes that it can be built on it would be a lot easier to build on what's there already he told me than to throw it away and start again from scratch here's a little of what president micro said. have to say on my job is not to speculate as well because we're pretty much of the same. first. it was absolutely

was a very important negotiation and isn't based with the money towards the current nuclear activity of the iranian government the iranian regime and i think this is important was negotiated by all countries both i mean us was involved and i'm just the friends that's why first as we negotiated we signed it it's good to respect it and that for me it good beginning. so president bush in australia andrew for what three days what else is he going to be doing yeah he's here to day wednesday he'll travel to new caledonia in the pacific a french territory on thursday because that territory has the independence referendum. on president mackerel in a personal capacity once you caledonia the state french he says as president he's neutral that came up in the press conference as well power in the pacific the growing role of china in the pacific president and prime minister both said that

that wasn't something to be feted but it was something to be managed there was an important balance of power to be maintained trade as well australia really wants a free trade deal with the european union that's a priority for prime minister tumbled australia has just bought fifty billion dollars worth of submarines from france and present prime minister thinks that that could be a take it seems afraid to try to deal with the e.u. they also talked a lot about climate change president michael made the point that in times of exclusive economic zone not vasa land mass will save us i should say across the pacific this is where france has its greatest territory and climate change issues related to the environment are crucial there and then of course there were the usual pleasantries president mackerel thanking prime minister for this visit he spoke in pretty full english throughout the press conference but right at the end he said he thanked the prime minister and his quote delicious wife lucy i think you

meant the light full head should many thanks indeed and you told us there live in sydney. china's foreign minister is due to arrive in north korea for a two day visit wang is the highest ranking chinese official to visit the north in three years relations have been strained over a cut in chinese exports to pyongyang as part of sanctions against its nuclear program it comes as north korea's leader kim jong un works to improve ties with the south taking part in that historic summit last week it march he visited beijing in his first overseas trip as leader more now from others here is adrian brown in beijing. well one year now becomes the first chinese foreign minister to visit north korea in almost eleven years in fact the last time a senior chinese government official was in north korea was almost three years ago that i think is a reflection of the strain immolations that's existed between these two cold war era allies this time a year ago for instance china and north korea simply weren't on speaking terms if

there was a hotline between p. and young in beijing it simply wasn't working i think president xi jinping was both humiliated and enraged by conjunctions refusal to desist from his missile and nuclear tests his defiance of the international community and of course he wasn't just define the international community he was also defying china it's one ally well things started to in change i think at the end of march when kim jong un came to beijing either summoned or invited here by president xi jinping and of course that came shortly after it emerged that kim jong un and president from were going to hold face to face talks talks that are due to happen sometime in late may or early june so there is now a flurry of diplomatic activity and china doesn't want to be on the sidelines i think it is talks in pyongyang the chinese foreign minister is going to be pushing the idea of china being involved in four party talks involving the united states

china as well as leaders of the two koreas and of course next week in tokyo we will have talks involving the japanese prime minister the south korean president as well as china's premier league a chunk. fourteen asylum seekers from the so-called migrant caravan have been allowed to cross from mexico into u.s. territory migrants from other latin american countries been celebrating many years 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.k.'s brags it secretary is insisting that the british government won't agree to an e.u. proposal which could see northern ireland subject to different customs arrangements to the rest of the u.k. david davis says that the e.u. has wrongly interpreted an agreement reached in december between london dublin and brussels the plan allows for the republic of ireland and northern ireland which is in the u.k. to keep the same e.u. customs and trading regulations after briggs it preserving the current open border

between the two. northern ireland we clearly is highly controversial we stand by the words used in the joint 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 that division of the kingdom down down the irish sea and we are still working on. response to that a former member of the irish republican army has told al jazeera that he fears briggs it could lead to a resumption of armed conflict in northern ireland his comments came as the european union's brigs at the go see it was visiting the city of derry or londonderry as it's also known as the body is urging the british government to commit to staying in the customs union lawrence lee replied it's. just a pony a certainly putting the miles in he's been all over i

a little here here last to be business owners except in a city that source so much violence he had a chance to stress the importance of bricks it's not damaging the peace we're all going to any solution we'll be able to maintain. the belfast agreement in all directions. the city still has two names londonderry for the process and unionists a with the river dairy 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 the british forces were everywhere for republicans it was a constant reminder of a divided dial and just like a hard border would be off the bricks it had reinforces protests and on the island of us starts really what it was great for the support. the physical manifestation of it the face of the vision because face the face of avoiding avoid the great good friday agreement before their deal with the british government. you know the won't respect the agreements that they make under national unison to make the only way to go is to get or don't get away from us and the only way we can do that here is for a near. term it's friendly i'm right he drives a taxi now but he used to be an ira member and was in prison for fifteen. so do you

reckon there are dissident republicans who might regards the reemergence of the whole board as an opportunity oh i think so yes you know because i think they're fighting to to shoot yeah yeah yeah because at the moment that i had. and i don't have any time for them to balance out the. fine that for the hard he actually. set up with a recall operations but a for certain the border they don't have to operate from the north. and just fire and that's the problem and i think i don't like or keep all of it now but they will be capable of it and they will be sorely tempted to do commentators often say that bracks it could destabilize the peace agreement in ireland but don't explain how in reality it means that every single country lane on the border would be heavily policed and would cause enormous disruption to border communities which already have historical suspicion of britain rex's in england talk all the time

about taking back control people here it would be economically and socially disastrous and it is not an exaggeration to say it could lead to violence. al-jazeera and. many people took to the streets around the world to mark may day they were celebrating workers and their campaigns for improved labor rights. in the u.s. more than fifty organizations including labor unions immigrant rights and other advocacy groups marched in los angeles have also been protesting against president on trump's immigration policies it was violence however in the puerto rican capital san juan where riot police fired tear gas and rubber bullets a protesters thousands of people demonstrated against government budget cuts including pensions and education funding. demonstrations in the french capital also violence after violent rather after protests to set fire to a car and smashed in the windows of a doll's restaurant this year's protests took on an added significance to two
