this is al-jazeera. and i welcome to the al-jazeera news hour on live from my headquarters in doha with the prophet coming up in the next sixty minutes polls close in lebanon's first parliamentary elections and nine years botched the turn else down with official results expected on monday. iran wants the u.s. against pulling out of the nuclear deal as european lobbying of washington intensifies just days before the deadline. and al-jazeera investigation reveals how experimental regulated medical devices were used in mexico on patients undergoing brain operations and in sport barcelona's on beta non-continuous but the spanish champions had to settle for a draw with real madrid in

a fiery el classico contest. counting is underway in lebanon's first parliamentary elections in line in years three point six million people who are eligible to vote bought turnout was down on last time a new system of proportional representation was used in the election but it's unlikely to upset the overall balance of power as they now hold the reports from beirut. judd phone is among the eight hundred thousand voters who are eligible to cast their ballot for the first time lebanon hasn't had an election in nine years political wrangling and disagreements over a new alec torah law were to blame now this twenty three year old hopes his vote will make a difference. for people who don't have any money or a sense of the money we need. more and more voices are calling for

change and it's not just the young lebanese are concerned about the growing level of poverty and unemployment in the country. and the youth. we want change we want to new generation of leaders who know what the youth meet with but. this is the first time where so many independent candidates joined the electoral battle the new law which is based on proportional representation opens the door for these candidates to try to break the political elites hold on power but they acknowledge they can only make a small difference. and i think we know we will win all the one hundred twenty seats but even if we get eight ten or twelve seats we are satisfied because we know we will be able to expand our presence later on they are up against a political establishment that has been in power for years if not decades some even since the days of the civil war in the one nine hundred eighty s. if those politicians are not running their sons or grandsons are and they have been

accused of using their office for electoral gains. there are people who vote for candidates who help them this is wrong with that is how it has always been . those are the so-called traditional voters who not only benefit from a politician or party but are often loyal to their sect before the nation lebanon's parties are sectarian among them the iranian backed shia armed group hezbollah. hezbollah in the in the one death and the fall destroyed. has been. a wonderful today hezbollah and its allies are expected to win the most seats in parliament further strengthening their power which has been growing in recent years. a lot has happened since the last election in two thousand and nine there was political instability the post presidency was vacant for two years until late two thousand and sixteen when lebanon's political rivals reached a compromise

a president was elected a national unity government was formed headed by prime minister sadat how do you do that included members of hezbollah. prime minister how do you want to secure enough votes to ensure his leadership of the sunni community and ensure his return to the premiership he has exchanged harsh words with hezbollah during campaigning but that is an expected part of the election rhetoric in lebanon both sides know they need to work together if they want national unity and this divided nation. has morphed from they were. preliminary results are starting to trickle in hezbollah says it is making gains in the southern part of the country and the big valley both areas i consider to be. hezbollah strongholds now the hezbollah zweibel which is the future movement led by prime minister saddle how duties it has again so far. seven seats eleven but they're expecting

that number to increase these are preliminary results of future movement is expected to gain something like twenty five seats or more than that the other main establishment political parties say that they have also made some gains and the civil society candidate said that the managed to see that this is quite significant these were some sort of emerge from almost nowhere and trying to save the political future of the countries have been very aggressive over the last few months. they have been building up the momentum across the country so so far we're getting first indications that just in that the establishment political parties are likely to maintain the results they made back in two thousand and nine. if they want to other news now the united states has less than one week to decide whether it will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal on sunday iranian president hassan rouhani

warned washington about the consequences of withdrawing while european leaders continue to press donald trump to stay in it dynasty brooke has more from washington. with the may twelfth deadline just days away president donald trump's new legal advisor offered this assessment of the iran nuclear deal to a gathering of iranian dissidents in washington what do you think is going to happen to that agreement. that nuclear agreement. was president trump a longtime critic of the pact is threatening to pull out of the deal by saturday unless it can be improved on sunday iranian president hassan rouhani offered a stern warning this solves mommy and energy i tell me if america leads to nuclear accord it will soon see that this will entail historic remorse for it china the united states along with four other countries and the european union signed the joint comprehensive plan of action with iran in twenty fifteen. under the j. c.p.o.

way iran agreed not to pursue nuclear weapons in exchange for the easing of sanctions president trump says the deal was flawed from the start in part because it allows some nuclear provisions to sunset in two thousand and twenty five. he's also blasted iran for its use of ballistic missiles in the region and has accused iran of supporting terrorism european allies have been pressing the u.s. president not to scrap the deal u.k. media say british foreign minister boris johnson is traveling to washington to meet with senior administration officials on the issue so it is really that visit followed similar meetings in washington last month with french president emmanuel mccrone and german chancellor angela merkel who both agree the pact isn't perfect but think it can be improved in an interview on sunday britain's ambassador to the u.s. expressed optimism about keeping the u.s. in the deal all those issues we have ideas we think that we can you can find some

language produce much and that meets the president's concerns there are reports that former secretary of state john kerry who helped negotiate the j.c. under president barack obama is also meeting with foreign leaders to save the deal some republicans in congress say they aren't opposed to scrapping it but advised the president to be careful you need to have a clear idea about next steps if when you are going to pull out president trump maintains he still hasn't made up his mind what he'll do but time is running out dion estabrook al-jazeera washington and for the view from iran saying reports from pat on. president hassan rouhani is preparing his people for a worst case scenario the resumption of u.s. sanctions and they return to the economic isolation of the past but this is not the same iran that signed the nuclear deal in two thousand and fifteen. ronnie's

message to his people is that iran has a more robust economy one able to withstand any aggression by the united states iran is also strategically stronger in the region than it was when it signed the deal with close ties to countries it is helped in open conflict including syria iraq lebanon yemen and in recent years to iran has strengthened one to one trade and diplomatic ties with dozens of countries these are things are wrong the leaders are pointing to is positive steps taken during the current administration and there stood the tone of the iranian president's remarks about the united states it was like we've got a domestic audience. running mary herself to the success of the nuclear deal and as it begins to fall apart he finds himself defending his government's decision to enter into talks in the first place if the united states pulls out of the nuclear agreement many people say that it could bolster hardline lawmakers and the military hawks here in iran or it could work out in president rouhani favor giving his

government the moral high ground to say to western powers that we try to go away and now we will go back to making policy on our own terms let's get more on this knowledge on by another hashmi director of the center for meddling studies at the university of denver is join us live via skype from colorado very good to have you with us on al-jazeera as always before we get to what might happen if the u.s. does pull out what changes does president trump want maint to the deal in order to stay n.-s. i mean is that something that he's even specified. he's vaguely talked about. rewriting and renegotiating the deal to prevent iran number one from benefiting from what's called a sunset clause where restrictions will be lifted from iran's ability to enrich uranium he wants to extend those deadlines he's also talked about iran's missile

program including that as part of the deal and also iran's regional intervention across the middle east is things that he wants to potentially negotiate isn't sunset coal is up for renewal a long time from now though and something like twenty thirty or twenty thirty five so short of getting everyone to commit to never having a nuclear program and completely changing its foreign policy. is there anything more specific than that because of course that's i mean how can a ron even respond to that well i think the key point here that shouldn't be missed is that why would iran agree to renegotiate the terms of the nuclear agreement that donald trump is now threatening to withdraw from based on a commitment that america's word under the leadership of john will trump to be honored i mean if donald trump can pull out of the current agreement why would the

iranian regime trust donald trump to adhere to a radio sheet agreement so i think this is a a deeply you know problematic position and i don't think fundamentally from my reading donald trump is really interested in renegotiating anything i think he's committed to pulling out of the dream and into confronting iran politically economically and possibly terribly and if the us does pull out on the twelfth of may what happens to the data because it's of course not just between the u.s. and iran but a number of other countries too. well we're we're in uncharted territory here no one knows exactly what would happen next. what's clear is that the iranian government will have to respond to donald trump's drawl from the nuclear agreement and what we've been hearing from iran senior leaders is that they will likely declare that they are no longer committed to the agreement because one of the key parties has torn up and i suspect you will then begin to

restart its nuclear program in some form or some fashion allowing hardliners in iran to really declare a victory over president rouhani and reformist forces who you know are very strongly in favor of this gas agreement and that one think of its own internal repercussions within the context of what's domestic politics so you think iran would restart its nuclear program at the expense of its economy and the sanctions being reimposed the sanctions which had such a debilitating effect on the country's economy. what the it's not it's unknown exactly what will happen but clearly if you follow the internal debate within iraq you know hard line elements close to the supreme leader you know believe in this policy of self-sufficiency believe in this policy to run on you know can tighten its economic belt and can really withstand and further pressure from the west in fact that was their argument leading up to the negotiations. for this nuclear

agreement they lost out based on i think more compelling arguments that reformist forces were articulating but i think that's fundamentally what's going to happen hardliners will say look you know we just can't trust the word of the west the united states in particular they committed themselves to agreement now they're not honoring it and we have no other. option except to to dig in to rally around the flag to invest in our military and to try and stand up to western bullying and intimidation tactics even if it comes at the price of economic sanctions is the hashmi it's going to get your thoughts as always that's not the hashmi joining us live from denver thank you. now north korea has denied it was forced into giving up nuclear weapons by american med and to national factions a foreign ministry spokesman for the us is misleading public opinion by claiming the sanctions works they also want washington against deliberately provoking the

north why deploying military assets and south korea the north korean and u.s. leaders kim jong un and donald trump and meet in the coming week. the israeli military says it killed two palestinians who tried to cross into israel from the gaza strip israel says the men were trying to damage security infrastructure more than forty palestinians have been killed and thousands injured by israeli forces along the border since march when weekly protests against land confiscation began. and hamas has vowed revenge against israel after an explosion killed six of its fighters on saturday in gaza well thousands of palestinians turned out to pay their respects to the fighters who were part of the organizations military wing the brigades amassed says they were killed while dismantling spying equipment planted by israel the israeli military has denied any involvement. and u.s. president donald trump is expected to ask israel to withdraw from four neighborhoods in occupied east jerusalem israeli media reports that trump's request

as part of the so-called u.s. peace plan which is still under development it comes less than two weeks before the u.s. embassy moves to jerusalem from tel aviv stephanie decker has more now from west jerusalem. reports in the israeli media that the trumpet ministration will israel to hand over cede control of four palestinian neighborhoods in occupied east drew some drug or free of course is incredibly important it is everything when it comes to resolving this conflict three of those neighborhoods one of them is are ready outside the separation wall two of them very close to the other one being talked about or fought is one that is right next to west jerusalem many people will tell you that it will be incredibly difficult to see how israel will allow to hand over control of that the bigger picture here is what's important and also no one has yet spoken about the future of the old city the old city of course home to the al aqsa mosque compound it is holy to muslims it is holy to jews many people will

tell you the palestinians won't accept anything when it comes to the core of the issue i think it's all about concessions we have heard from the israeli defense minister avigdor lieberman in these early media as well saturday night saying there is no such thing as a free lunch of course referring to the transfer of the american embassy here to druce and we expect that on the fourteenth of may concessions will have to be made by both sides the trumpet ministration of course donald trump will be incredibly keen to be seen as the man who's been able to resolve the impossible he's calling what we are expecting to hear a new plan that their administrations been working on the deal of the century i think however no one is holding their breath the palestinians increasingly skeptical of the americans as honest brokers following that move however other was will tell you that perhaps the trump administration will be using the move to twist israel to twist this administration into giving concessions that otherwise it will not make again we're going to have to wait and see what exactly the specifics of

this deal will be we're expecting that to be announced a little after that move of the embassy to jerusalem the fourteenth. on the news hour. expect after the earthquake. and attack believed to be. the ocean. to mexico now where over fourteen years almost five hundred people were subjected to a treatment at the country's flagship state your logical institute where operations for brain conditions used to devise invented by the head of the institution but the

method was never approved by mexican authorities and a number of doctors believe it had serious flaws in the second part of his investigation john heilemann explains the consequences for those affected. over fourteen years almost five hundred patients were fitted with an experimental unapproved device a top public neurological institute you learned the good at it was among them it was done without her or her husband's knowledge. they asked us to sign a bit of paper but never that it was going to be a valve or a tube that was part of an experiment they never told us anything about that. three doctors working at the institute at the time told how does it or that the same is true for other patients who received the implant it was designed to treat hydrocephalus that's excess fluid in the brain by draining it down through a chub into the stomach area. this man invented the device and patented it.

he was also the director of the same national neurology and neurosurgery institute where it was pressed into use despite never being approved by medical authorities that we could mean that there was a recommendation i would see a demand that you had to recognize the brilliant idea of. the institute the health ministry and the to saltillo himself or refused to talk to out to zero he's always maintained that studies show his device was effective. neither he nor the national institute has ever been sanctioned for its unauthorized use despite a commission of medical arbitrage clearly stating that malpractise occurred in your landers case. dr egg natal who still works at the national institute has one word for it all. impunity impunity at every level he says. meanwhile your land and one man oil had to sell their flat to pay medical bills

their claims for compensation have fallen on deaf ears mexico's attorney general's office kept them waiting for eight years only to tell them it wouldn't take any action all the time you learned his health is worsening although it's unclear if that has any connection to the device. i'm frightened of dying as leaving my daughter i'm just so tired there are days in which i just think it would be better if i died. against the backdrop of silence a congresswoman and n.g.o.s have taken the case to the into american human rights commission. it's unlikely to succeed but it is a fresh attempt to get justice for the hundreds of people treated as guinea pigs over fourteen years. john holeman how does it or mexico city. a bomb blast at a mosque in the eastern province of colston of has killed thirteen people please

suspect the mosque may have been targeted because it was being used as a voter registration center for. election. ports. these are the latest victims a mortar pays to be a series of attacks on voter registration centers where afghans go to pick up their identification cards the elections in october. at the mosque when a huge blast occurred i don't know what happened next police say a bomb was planted in the mosque in host province which was doubling up as a voter registration center two weeks ago when i saw a bombing killed around sixty people in the afghan capital kabul the scent is open three weeks ago as part of the long process to get voters properly registered president ashraf ghani has condemned the attack that many afghans blame the government of failing to provide the centers with adequate security but.

unfortunately we witnessed a strong explosion in coast city more than ten people were killed and more than thirty were injured in this explosion we have women and children among the victims . allegations of fraud have long plagued elections in afghanistan the registration process is designed to guard against that the independent election commission says it hopes as many as fifty million people will register for the parliamentary and district council elections but the election commission admits turnout so far is already low this latest blast will do little to reassure people signing up to vote is worth the risk victoria gate and be al-jazeera. the pakistani interior minister's been shot in what police say is an attempted assassination. on the army after a rally in punjab province the voices news agency says the twenty one year old suspect is affiliated with a. party that focuses on highlighting and fighting blasphemy the party's leader has joined want spread condemnation of the attack which comes ahead of elections in

a state of emergency is in effect on the big island but our correspondent rob bernal's is in the states which is the community at the heart of the lava eruptions and he has just been into part of the area which is being evacuated rob what did you see there. well elizabeth we saw some pretty amazing sights team was able to get into the area which is normally blocked off by road blocks such as these and along the main street in les lani estates there is a huge huge black smoking and smoldering about this high and in the in the background behind that we could all easily see houses that were in flames burning from the intense heat of the magma the heat was quite strong even you know several standing several meters away and as

a matter of fact you know speaking of those burning buildings i'd like to show you a camera man brian can show you that cloud that's. the result of the eruption and some of that material that you see there is smoke from burning houses burning buildings cars forests and so on as we were driving in there were large vents in the roadway with a white coming out of them and then we could also see. other streets that were blocked off and the intense smell of sulfur dioxide which is a toxic gas made us think that it was probably a good idea not to stay there for too long but we managed to get some pictures and we will be sending those pictures in to the news center in doha just as soon as we possibly can but right now the official toll of houses burned stands at nine no one

has been killed or seriously injured so far as you know we do know from talking to neighbors that some people insisted on staying inside leyla estates which again from the burning view that we could all feel seems like a very poor idea but the these are their homes after all and. we've been we know now that some of the residents who were evacuated some of the nearly two thousand people who were forced to flee with the very little notice were allowed briefly to go back in earlier today that was a real sore spot a lot of people were demanding access to get their medications their papers take care of pets and so on so so that it's happened but the eruption is ongoing scientists have no idea when it will stop and for the people who lived in this

really beautiful tropical paradise that is now turned into a disaster and away in a wasteland there's no telling when or if they'll ever be able to return to their home so what is their plan then bob because as you mentioned there's no indication of when the of options will actually stall. well it's very hard to plan for this to mean there are some precedents back in the one nine hundred sixty s. and in the one nine hundred fifty s. communities were in the path of lava flows and there was nothing that anyone could do there's no engineering there's no you know dam building or dikes or anything like that that can stop molten lava on its course so if the if the eruption continues if the vents continue to open up and spew out this lava for amount kill away if there's very very little anyone can do except maybe salvage some of their possessions and move on and i'll say also. the hawaii has this

reputation around the world as being this glamorous paradise full of wealthy people and golf courses and beaches and all that this is one of the poorest areas in the entire state of while out of people here live below the poverty level and a lot of people have health problems as well so for them it's a it's a particularly harsh blow if they are to lose their homes which are pretty much the only assets they have a little bit thank you very much for that finale that's. the very latest live from donny estates thank you. there have been more protests and against president daniel ortega demonstrations that demanded justice adoptions of people killed in opposition protests and recent weeks of protests began in the day full of the plans to change the social security system including cutting state pensions or to take a has now said that those reforms will not go ahead. the turkish president has

rates which have become a burden for to turkey citizens due to increasing living prices also don't mention. northern syria until turkish borders are total security by the fire troops one more thing that was true in this manifesto was that turkey should become a self-sufficient come three in defense industry and he mentioned more plans that turkey would be. producing actually and now everybody is curious after stating that there will be a new page how turkey will be implementing those freedom and prosperity a methodology while the state of emergency is still under way. more than four hundred fifty people have been rescued by spain's match on service off to fifteen boats attempting to cross the mediterranean sea from african shoals separately

june reports. for tunisia which is considered not just the birthplace of the arab spring but also its only success story this is a significant step. for citizens heading to the polls to vote in the first ever democratically free local elections. it's seen as another milestone on the long and difficult road to becoming a full fledged democracy. more than fifty seven thousand candidates are running for office in three hundred fifty municipalities forty nine percent are women and more than half are under the age of thirty five but one officials have called for a large turnout observers don't expect many to come out citing an electorate demoralized by high unemployment a weak economy and years of austerity a lack of trust in politicians especially by young people is but one more challenge to the general population and we have already begun. we progress and.

you know. the reason. is that you need. not. worry in the daily lives i mean there are going to be issues. that. need to weigh. frustration with the economy and anger arising from the government's austerity measures led to protests in january analysts say low voter turnout in these municipal polls could be dangerous to the future of democracy in tunisia that it would call into question the legitimacy of those elected who are there in our and they won't have any support around them that think they. do and they will not be able to. make a. more objective really good life in the country the elections were meant to be

a way of giving more power to municipal councils throughout the country while it's still far too early to tell what these polls mean for the future the results are expected to be a sign of the political direction tunisia may be going into ahead of presidential and legislative elections next year. human rights watch has strongly criticized saudi arabia's crown prince muhammad bin sour man for what it calls a dramatic increase in arbitrary detentions the group says at least two thousand three hundred people have been detained for more than six months without trial or some have been in custody for more than a decade human rights watch says the cell the justice system only seems to be getting worse well the latest numbers are a marked increase from two thousand and fourteen when the group found less than three hundred people held without trial for more than six months human rights watch says one saudi's citizen has been held without conviction since september two

thousand and thirteen another has been detained while under investigation since to december two thousand and six two hundred fifty one people have been imprisoned for more than three years without cases coming before the courts the report is based on data published by the saudi interior ministry now adam kugel is a middle east researcher at human rights watch and he says ending the detentions should be a priority under the reforms announced by saudi arabia. saudi authorities have been promising justice reforms for more than ten years and they've poured millions and millions of dollars into it yet for all these reforms we still find these massive numbers of people held for many many months and even years without trial and that's just one part of the problem once people get to trial they also face other issues including convictions based on what they say are career scores confessions as well as an inability of defendants to adequately defend themselves before saudi courts some cases in which no defense was presented that end up with the death penalty so

you know i think while the certainly the crown prince maybe more time to institute full scale justice reforms. they certainly have not a made a lot of progress so far and i should also say in a recent interview with the washington post the crown prince when asked about the detentions and unfair trials of human rights activists seem to indicate that he did not think that the system was broken what we did was we took the data from it all second and we just analyzed how many people have been under investigation or with a case that is that is not indicative of a conviction or being brought before trial and we said how many of them are invitation how long have they been in detention i also should say that in january of this year we sent a letter to the saudi attorney general and to the saudi foreign ministry requesting information or information about the data as presented by the almight portal but we received no response it's difficult for investors to invest where they don't have

confidence in the justice system it's difficult for ordinary saudis to feel like you know they can go through life and receive fair treatment when they know that the justice system isn't working so it is a really critical it should be a critical component to mohammed been some balance modernization efforts. the united arab emirates has its role on the strategic yemeni on and off the court is going to still hold that thought for yemeni promise to criticize the air for sending troops. so the island forces landed on the island last week and took control of the airport and harbor the u.a.e. is part of the saudi led coalition fighting the rebels and yemen the ties between the emirates and yemen's government have become strange and recent months. has been two decades since the start of the war between ethiopia and eritrea or tens of thousands of people were killed when fighting began in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight near a disputed border town but the conference room remained largely unresolved shiela balance reports twenty years ago today the eritrean military and ethiopian police

patrols exchanged fire near the town of bad me bad me isn't a disputed border area but at that time it was under the control of ethiopia within a week it is still a suit eritrea since soldiers and tanks to attack the town and over the next two years the two nations fought a war along their entire one thousand kilometers about entry it in did in december two thousand with the algiers agreement a commission was established to decide blame and claims for the war each country presented its position ethiopia charge that eritrea attacked military and police units as well as civilians it says era trader killed and injured its people by shelling mines and murder detention and abduction eritrea says it was acting in self-defense as ethiopia was unlawfully occupying its territory because commission

concluded that eritrea was to blame for starting the war and had invaded ethiopia in may one thousand nine hundred ninety eight but it also found that bad may was indeed eritrean territory and ethiopia had to give it back to this day bad make the small town that started the war is disputed and skirmishes continue as are a mains under the control of ethiopia. i mean in our palm and six specter to elect opposition leader in a cult as the country's new prime minister on tuesday it follows a wave of protests in which students have played a major role as the going to reports from the. many armenians are saying their so-called velvet revolution succeeded because people finally shed their political apathy and were inspired to act. has been leading protests since twenty sixteen for several weeks he's rallied
