hello a group of us democrats have just sent donald trump a letter urging him to let america remain a part of the iranian nuclear deal the president is expected to announce his decision on whether to withdraw on tuesday america's allies of also been trying to convince trump to preserve the international agreement which has limited iran's nuclear capabilities kimberly halkett has more from the white house. after months of diplomacy and high level meetings at the white house between the us president and his counterparts in france germany and a monday the foreign secretary of the u.k. donald trump announced he had finally made his decision trump tweeted he would make his decision public on tuesday or whether to withdraw the united states from the iran nuclear agreement. with the announcement follows a last minute effort by u.k.

foreign secretary boris johnson to persuade try to keep the u.s. within the deal even with top trump administrators including secretary of state mike pump aoe but not donald trump in the absence of a presidential meeting johnson penned an editorial in the new york times newspaper and has been appearing on multiple u.s. t.v. networks urging trump to remain in the agreement he will be tougher on iran but not throw away that the heart of the deal which is all about stopping them getting nuclear weapons the deal was negotiated in twenty fifty and under the administration of u.s. president barack obama and included other european countries as well as russia and china it's designed to contain iran's nuclear program for civilian use only. trouble was to get out of the deal unless it's fixed to address iran's missile program

a tehran's other military activities in the region on monday on twitter he called the deal a mess and criticized the man who helped negotiate it former secretary of state john kerry along with the president trump advisor rudolph giuliani is also criticizing kerry and what they call his shattered diplomacy this follows media reports kerry recently met with the iranian foreign minister job as a wreath at the united nations i don't think that we would take advice from somebody who created what the president sees to be one of the worst deals ever made is the labor. signal u.s. president donald trump is preparing to withdraw from the iran deal still france britain and germany have indicated they'll remain in the agreement regardless of the u.s. decision kimberly health at al-jazeera at the white house the iranian president says he's committed to the d.-o. as long as iran's interests are protected your own chim our doubt about it.

regarding the nuclear agreement if our interests and objectives are protected by other parties to the agreement except america and we will be committed to it if america leaves the agreement it will not mean anything actually it will mean that the agreement got rid of evil that used to live inside it however if our objectives and interests are not protected we will choose our way if america's goal is to weaken iran we confirm that we will face that forcefully and with no hesitation or going back any american mistake or miscalculation will be met with a strong response that will make it regret it and feel like he is committed a strategic mistake. and he gallagher joining us now live from washington d.c. in what we've seen as a last ditch effort by some democratic senators urging trump not to withdraw from that deal and the what more did the letter they sent so i have to say. well this is really an eleventh hour appeal from the democrats and no surprise we know that this deal was put together in twenty fifteen by the democratic party under president

obama they think this is the best deal possible they think reneging on this deal and about imposing sanctions on iran again could destabilize the region but let me just read you one part of the letter it reads if the united states unilaterally withdraw from the g c p a way iran could either remain in the agreement and seek to isolate the united states from our closest partners or resume its nuclear activities either scenario would be detrimental to our national security interests it's not just the democrats here in the united states that are up are appealing to president trump over the last few weeks he's met with various leaders including chancellor merkel of germany and president micron of france and britain's foreign secretary boris johnson was here in washington d.c. on monday he didn't get to meet the president in person he met with mike pompei o who is very much against this deal but boris johnson made sure he got on all the channels that president trump watches very carefully and basically told president

trump look we're still is far from perfect but please don't throw out the baby with the bathwater war. and he has signaled in recent months that he is willing to take a much harder line when it comes to iran are there any chances at all that he will stay in the deal. i mean with this president there is always a chance that he will do the thing that you don't expect but remember as candidate trump he really hasn't changed his tune as candor trampy said this is a horrible deal the united states gets nothing from it i will end it if i become president and he's continued to say that throughout his presidency president mcraney told a group of reporters that he thinks president trump will pull out of the deal for domestic reasons in other words it's one of his campaign promises and he's trying to deliver his best account things like this and building a war with mexico so it really leaves people wondering what will happen on tuesday afternoon when president trump comes to the podium and tells the world what he will

do with the iran nuclear deal but one of the key questions is if the european people or european countries in this deal decide to stay in it not impose sanctions on iran where does that leave a relationship with the united states clearly president trump knows that the various leaders in europe want to keep the deal in place but will he penalize them if they do that it's just not known at the moment you've got these eleventh hour appeals coming from democrats you've got world leaders gathering around telling president trump not to do not to pull out of this deal but ultimately president trump will do what he wants to do to deliver promises to his base and gallagher thank you. sahadi is set to continue as lebanon's prime minister under the sectarian power sharing system despite his party's poor showing in sunday's polls how do you he says his future movement appears to have lost a third if it seats and preliminary results show the shah party hezbollah and its

allies winning more than half the seats in parliament xenophon that has more from beirut. there was a clear winner and lebanon's election. hezbollah and its political allies won the majority of seats in parliament it's being seen by some as a victory for iran the shiite group is backed by iran it's the only lebanese party that has an armed wing and its editorial gains further empowers it politically hezbollah's leader called for cooperation. and bad can all be for the poli stressed that there is a reality in lebanon and that is that no one can eliminate the other even if we have disagreements we want political stability we need to cooperate. the general elections was a loss for lebanon's prime minister saddle had no longer heads the largest bloc in the legislature but he still retains the majority of seats allocated to seventy muslims how did he faced opposition from within his own community some accused him

of being too lenient with hezbollah which is fighting in neighboring syria when asked if he plans to change that approach the prime minister said the focus should be on development and improving the lebanese economy. i disagree with them on many issues and will continue to disagree with them but what do i told the lebanese people will be struck working on services like electricity water roads and instead focus on political challenge lebanon can handle political crises. how did he clearly indicated his willingness to continue working with his political rivals he has led to a national unity government since late two thousand and sixteen a cabinet that includes members of hezbollah. and the last election in two thousand and nine it was the pro western approach saudi alliance headed by saddle that won the majority of seats in parliament since then iran's influence has been growing not just here in lebanon but across the region and it has been at the expense of

saudi arabia. saudi arabia used to play a role in lebanese politics. was busy with other conflicts in the region like yemen the war there is a priority for riyadh. saudi arabia was aware that there are laws in lebanon where normal good united and they couldn't be a force. but. the ground for iran. for now however there is little indication that lebanon is heading towards political instability lebanese politicians are talking about putting their differences aside and now that the election is over. new york's attorney general eric schneiderman has resigned following. physically abused four women schneiderman had positioned himself as
