i was the global for us and i'm like and the others to that rewind continues with children of conflict we'd love some peace in this war especially. children do not have any rights here rewind on al-jazeera. one of the really special things about working for al-jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else. it's very challenging to believe particularly because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are we the people believe that tell the real stories are just mended is to deliver in-depth journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe.

armenia's opposition leader calls for a nationwide strike off the parliament votes against him becoming the new prime minister. hello i'm adrian for the get this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up two suicide blasts in northeastern nigeria target worshipers of a mosque killing at least twenty seven people. as mourners bury the dead in kabul after monday's bombings a new u.s. report paints a bleak picture about afghanistan's security situation. at a warning that brags it could jeopardize peace in northern ireland. the armenian opposition leader called posh india and has called for a nationwide campaign of civil disobedience after failing to be elected prime

minister although he was the sole candidate bush indian couldn't secure the necessary fifty three votes in parliament. for us to walk reports. this was the moment of collective disappointment for fans republic square off the. p.s. from the ruling republican party used their parliament tree majority to block the so-called people's candidate selection to prime minister by forty five votes to fifty five despite him being the only candidate. a huge gathering of supporters expected the vote would reflect the will of the armenian people they followed the debate from the square or on radios and smartphones but republican m.p.'s spent knowing hours questioning nicko passion younes right to govern or his competence in a military crisis to the crowds cheers the. i

don't see young birds direct mr passion in just as yesterday today you have not convinced me i do not see you as the supreme commander i. was but mr lay to join the crowd elude we still buoyant. heat 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 yon has spearheaded the mass protests that led to the resignation of the veteran leader says sucks yan last month is promising to rid the pool x.l.v.i. country of corruption and poverty and bring about free and fair elections he has now called for a general strike and further protests you could hear her and i mean ian's are ready to return to the streets ahead of another vote expected next week you know who just loves you know no good the system is set on a few victory anyway we won because we're together now what nicole passion and says

we will do it in get what they wanted to say but they vowed to continue this but it was the first was a promise was it was a little bit of before it's probably first a look at al-jazeera there of a. 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 ruby and adam our state many people died in a second blast while attempting to get out of the building witnesses reported seeing a young man wearing a suicide vest entering the mosque with worshipers more now from other serious dogon is in nigeria's capital abuja. it happened as people were preparing for their afternoon prayers according to police it was a double bombing a twin bombing committed by two suicide bombers it happened in movie a critical town in the northeast simply because this was an area controlled by the

book 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 or a 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 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 has rubbished his allegations as under simmons 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 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 do the nuclear issue is based on laws it's based on iranian law as any reunion 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 cartoon 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 drew simmons out zero but as you heard the white house appears to be backing israel's assertion that the iran deal was reached under false pretenses can really help get reports. 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 were inaccurate 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 israel

and hizbollah backa iran the people he calls the true backers of the syrian war tehran has warned that it will respond to what he called israeli aggression. the bombing of an alms 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 iranian well hillary mann leverett is has served in the u.s. state department to negotiating with iran she says that israel is trying to carve out a 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 are you ron israel on a range of issues trump himself i don't think has any core principles here 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 advisor 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 but israel's poll about just given the prime minister the power to declare war without full government approval politicians approve to change the law which previously required the whole cabinet to vote on a declaration of war now means the prime minister benjamin netanyahu will need only the approval of his defense minister. from says president obama called. is on his first official trip to australia across is expected to discuss the iran nuclear deal and china's growing influence in the south pacific during his three day visit at a press conference with the straightest private as a malcolm turnbull account defended the international agreement struck with iran in twenty fifteen. first's d.c. 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 important was negotiated by all countries i mean us was involved and obviously france that's why first as we negotiated we signed it it's good to respect it and that for me the good beginning. a weather update thanks to on al-jazeera then we'll take you to brazil where we report on sexual abuse the allegations of sexual abuse against young gymnasts by a former coach. and celebrations in mexico the first so-called migrant caravan crosses the border into the u.s. . how i once again still got a few shallow scattered around the middle east but nothing too much to speak of

he said was proof that the iranians had lied before signing the nuclear agreement three years ago. before the lawyer for donald trump says that special counsel robert mueller has raised the possibility that the u.s. president could face a subpoena to force him to answer questions as part of the russia investigation well as examining moscow's alleged meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. election which brought trump to power patty culhane reports 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 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 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 up 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 to talk to muller 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 political hand al-jazeera washington. fourteen asylum seekers

from the so-called migrant care of and been allowed to cross from mexico into the u.s. territory migrants from other latin american countries have been celebrating produce they wait their turn to the united states it took them a months travel from honduras el salvador and guatemala one hour from what apollo listen to on a on the mexican side of the border. spirits are high among members of the migrant group here at the u.s. border after migrant activists announced that eight individuals were allowed to pass through the u.s. processing center to begin the a sound process in the late hours of last night another six were allowed to cross in earlier today there are no other one hundred thirty or so individuals still camped outside of the u.s. border crossing into one of you can see these tarps and the tents as the as some rain is starting to fall there 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 that 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 a silent asylum part 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 they are 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 weave their asylum cases if that doesn't happen today the sense is that that will happen in the days to come. ferals have been held for victims of monday's suicide bombings in the afghan capital kabul meanwhile the u.s. military report says the afghan government is losing ground to the taliban i saw jennifer glass reports from kabul. special prayers for the dead this morning continues for the twenty five people killed in monday's twin bombing i saw attackers this is a scene being repeated in mosques all across the afghan capital on a hillside on the outskirts of the city sean mariah is being laid to rest one of nine journalists deliberately targeted in the attack especially the mullah leading the burial prayers says bloodshed is everywhere in afghanistan every day young people are being killed and afghans are tired of the ongoing conflict in all ten

the challenges that we all have is how to prevent sophisticated attacks that out of the latest report from the us 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 resilient eisel 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 afghanistan's human rights commission says more than nine thousand civilians have been killed or wounded this past year up some arts organizations expecting a higher number of casualties this year along with a rise in the number of attacks jennifer glass al-jazeera. and investigation in brazil as uncovered allegations of he is of abuse of young gymnasts by

a former coach who denies the accusations to hold them boards. dozens of brazilian gymnasts have accused the 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 told me to take a bath or 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 doctor

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 south pole public prosecutor's office john homan now does it or the u.k.'s breaks it secretary is insisting that the british government won't agree to an e.u. plan which could see northern ireland subject to different customs arrangements to the rest of the u.k. david davis says the e.u. has misinterpreted an agreement reached in december between london dublin and brussels the plan allows for the republic of ireland northern ireland which is in the u.k. to keep the same e.u. customs and trading regulations after briggs's and maintain the open border between the two. northern ireland we clearly it's highly controversial we stand by the words used in the joint report in 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 a former member of the irish republican army has told al-jazeera that he fears briggs it could lead to a resumption of the armed conflict in northern ireland his comments came as the european union's briggs's negotiator was visiting the city of dariel londonderry as it's also know michel barnier is urging the british government to commit to staying in the customs union lawrence lee reports it's a pony a certainly putting the miles in he's been all over ireland and here he was to be more 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 piece we're all going great need for should we be able to maintain. the belfast agreement

or dimensions. 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 these 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 piece 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 where we lived in 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 would reinforce those protests and on the island of us starts really want a break for the fight. the physical manifestation of it the face of the vision. plays in the face of our going avoid the 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 agreements of the me 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 border as an opportunity oh i think so yes you know because i think they're failing to to shoot yeah yeah yeah because at the moment the hank. no i don't have

any time for them to be on majority and i think they're saying that for a hard to actually. stand up with a local operations but if they're certain the border they don't have to operate from the north who they could sit in the field and just fire and ice the problem and i think i don't think our people have annoyed but they will be capable of it and they will be sorely tempted to do it. commentators often say that bret's 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 who cause enormous disruption to border communities which already have historical suspicion the brits and rex's in england talk all the time about taking back control of the people here it would be economically and socially designed stress and it is not an exaggeration to say it could lead to violence. al-jazeera.
