foreign secretary boris johnson to persuade trying to keep the u.s. within. the deal meeting 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 and 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 reef 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 latest signal us 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 help at al-jazeera at the white house the iranian president says he's committed to the duo as long as iran's interests are protected. your own chair marked down about a john me haul him regarding the nuclear agreement if our interests and objectives

are protected by other parties to the agreement except america then 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 it is committed a strategic mistake the french and german foreign ministers of also made a last ditch plea to the u.s. president. we are fully committed to saving this agreement because it protects us from nuclear proliferation and is the right way to prevent iran from getting access to nuclear weapons. first. we fear that our failure to real lead to an escalation we must avoid

a return to the period before two thousand and thirteen it's in the nobody's interest and gallagher has more on us democrats last plea to the president as well . well this is the letter from some of the democratic party's leading lights it is essentially an eleventh hour appeal to president donald trump for him not to pull out of this a run nuclear deal they say it's perhaps not a perfect agreement but it is working in their views and they're not the only ones that are appealing to president trump over the last few weeks he's met with people like angela merkel from germany president maicon of france and britain's foreign secretary boris johnson who is in washington d.c. on monday all of them telling him look this is not a perfect deal but it's the best we can do at the moment boris johnson didn't actually meet with president trump but he wrote an op ed in one of the big newspapers here went on all the news channels to make sure he got his message across which was basically mr president please don't throw out the baby with the

bathwater of course donald trump has never hidden his hatred for this deal as candidate trump and he said it was a horrible deal he says the same thing as president and it's one of his central promises that he will do away with this deal president told reporters that he thinks that for domestic reasons the president will pull out of the iran nuclear deal but the big question is where does that leave his european allies because it seems they are going to stay in this deal does that mean the united states will penalize them somehow but it certainly seems clear that president knows what the other world leaders involved in this want to do but ultimately president trump will do what he wants to do for himself and ultimately for his base well that nuclear agreement was one of barack obama's signature foreign policy achievements but donald trump is calling it one of the worst deals in history it was signed by the five permanent members of the u.n. security council germany the e.u. and iran in july twenty fifteen a week later it was endorsed by a u.n.

security council resolution iran agreed to reduce the number of centrifuge machines from twenty thousand to about five thousand for ten years centrifuges are needed to enrich uranium a material that can be used to make a nuclear. bomb and iran pledged to enrich a maximum three point six to seven percent of its uranium for fifteen years additional limits were put on its research and development of advanced centrifuges iran also removed the core of its main heavy water reactor and filled it with cement it's not allowed to build any new reactors for fifteen years and to be sure iran is complying inspectors and the international atomic energy agency have access to its nuclear sites in exchange for all of this the us in you and un agreed to lift sanctions but they can be imposed again if iran is found to be violating the deal. mashes the national security and foreign policy analyst he says trump would

be taking a huge risk if he pulls out of the agreement without a plan b. it was but was not a perfect it is not perfect has a lot of flaws it's imperfect but again without a good replacement and also without a global more tea party agreement that includes all the p five p. five p. five plus one iran and the united states any idea railing of this agreement will be disastrous and it's just going to embolden the hardliners in iran to do what they do and again as i said nothing. we do doesn't mean that iran eight years ago is just this particular issue president from risk making. without having a good backup plan that. runs germany and britain france so forth. sada how did he is set to continue is lebanon's prime minister under the sectarian power sharing system despite his party's core showing in sunday's polls how did he

says his future movement appears to have lost a third if it seats and preliminary results show the shop part of hezbollah and its allies winning more than half the seats in parliament zana 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. all before the poll i 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 have 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. clearly indicating his willingness to continue working with his political rivals he has led 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. for the better. i would be arabia 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 no longer united and they couldn't be a force to confront his blog 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 uniting now that the election is over. beirut nigeria's army has confirmed it has rescued more than
