i'm missing the six least episode of slavery a twenty first century medieval on al-jazeera jail that should never be a country club and anyone who spent time in our facilities will tell you we are just so this thing from a country and we know our approach is more incarcerated and at the mercy of a sheriff's controversial approach to punishment and reform sheriffs holding a credible amount of power and are allowed to run the jails in the way that they see that and we see a lot of abuses american sheriff al-jazeera that will be a shock to me to go to jihad and it's impossible to underestimate the size and scale of the economic crisis it's not just about the billion. dollars of debt it's not just about the banks it's not just about the government to real people.

this isn't time us president donald trump says he's ready to announce what he'll do about the iran nuclear deal. all of them are a candle this is a live from doha also coming up thousands of armenians a gathering outside parliament where they hope that mass protest leader will be named prime minister. saad hariri likely to hang on as lebanon's leader despite suffering big election losses. also more lava shoots from a volcano in hawaii destroying homes and cars. is present donald trump with and out later on choose they where they will pull

america out of the iran nuclear deal all stay in and work with european allies who insist it's functioning well iran's president has declared his country will stand on his own feet regardless of what trump does. this government's plan from day one has been based on having honest good constructive and effective interactions with the world as we consider this a win win situation useful for others and for us as well well it may result that in some exceptional situations from time to time someone may take power in a country and cause an exceptional situation these kinds of things happen on the world stage and we will get past it we may have problems for two or three months but anyway we will get past the problem our basic policy of having constructive interactions is working with the worlds. more from tehran in just a moment but first here's a white house correspondent kimberly hall. after months of diplomacy and high level

meetings at the white house between the u.s. 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. 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's going to be tougher on iran but not throw away that the 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 al-jazeera at the white house. joins us now live from baghdad ron so say the iranian president sounding somewhat buoyant head of this announcement from. yes absolutely he visited today the twenty third annual iranian oil and gas exhibition he was there meeting with ministers in his cabinet as well as senior leaders in different oil companies and people who have organized that exhibition and he was even cracking jokes and this is this sort of jovial mr that he's trying to create is very much about pandering to a domestic audience i think iranian leaders understand that the fate of the nuclear deal is now out of their hands and they have to defend having negotiated the deal in the first place against criticism from people here at home who said they never

should have gotten into it in the first place but iranian leaders are saying that the country's economy is stronger now than it's been in the past and there are things that they've developed in terms of for instance the oil and gas industry that he talked about a great life that can help them weather the storm going forward the oil industry something that helped iran navigate decades of economic isolation in this one of the largest oil producing nations in the world and iranian leaders here hope that that is something that they can do again. from this fairground it's difficult to tell that iran is going through a diplomatic crisis. iran's leaders are highlighting the merits of the country's century old oil industry and they're looking for foreign investment to the tune of two hundred billion dollars. all right i have a recommendation for foreign companies that are here if these companies want to

have an important role in the market of iran in the region they should try to cooperate with iranian companies and do their job as they have chosen iran as a partner iran is not a country one could overlook in the global market and energy sector they may delay or development but relying on enormous domestic potential god willing we will continue our plans. but in the face of us sanctions it's a hard sell the fate of the joint comprehensive plan of action more commonly known as the twenty fifteen nuclear deal has become the most important factor for doing business with iran but the issue is so provocative no one was willing to speak about it on camera there are many european countries represented here but the moves are smaller than they were in previous years especially right after the nuclear deal was signed many of the exhibitors we spoke to say they like doing business with iranians and see an enormous potential in iran's market but for now no big deals are being signed and no one is making any real money it would seem that scare tactics by washington are having the desired effect. iranian companies

here are worried about more bad economic weather but say this is just the storm before the calm beneath the. international companies to come to iraq but the absence of them stated we can not solve the trade or existing facilities but developed or it just feeds. companies like this one operated by the iranian revolutionary guard corps will no doubt continue to play an important part in the country's economic strategies have a ruse mr. horny that every day americans make a new excuse they want to conclude every year in a way to benefit themselves so should we give up no we are a powerful country with great resources in the world for example in all in gas we rank first and this is also true about other resources iran's growth potential makes it

a difficult market for investors to ignore so there is some optimism one businessman told us there is always a light at the end of the tunnel but the burning of bridges between washington and to her own is only making that tunnel longer. say the how does iran intend to deal with sanctions if they get real. well you saw there that iran is hoping to double down on its oil and gas industry expanding infrastructure projects hoping to export more is as well as it can if sanctions return but the other thing that the supreme leader said was the theme of two thousand and eighteen and something that president rouhani has pushed on his tour of other parts of the country in rural communities and someone in almost every speech that any leader makes is. is developing both domestic production and consumption of goods and services to that and the president has also pushed for

more domestic tourism to help keep money in the country and there's this focus on becoming self-reliant in a real and meaningful way so as to once again weather the storm it's an old policy that they will bring back if sanctions are turned ok many thanks for joining us that from tehran. manias parliament is meeting to elect a new trial minister the ruling republican party will reportedly provide the additional votes needed to appoint opposition leader nicola passion and who is the only nominee in that massive anti-government rallies leading to the resignation of the former prime minister said robin forrester walk a course on how passing on has become so popular. with the band performs this song to tens of thousands of armenians on tuesday the crowd would know how to sing. has become the anthem for a revolution. to.

africa's largest travel trade show is being held and all the world's fastest growing tourist destinations south africa is especially popular with visitors on safari but some animal parks are in conflict with another major industry gold diamond and coal mining as mark and webb reports plan to expand an open cast mine a threatening to drive animals away. it's the first time the medic easily family has visited a wildlife park the first louis in follows the park's a few hours drive from their home in south africa it's the continent's oldest reserve famous for its leopard experience to see these things lie been seen them in television the parks wildlife and vast stretches of untouched wilderness attract tens of thousands of visitors from all over the world every yeah most of the surrounding countryside is also pristine but not all of it just four kilometers

from the park is there. an open cast call mine has been here for more than ten years and the company that runs it's now wants to expand right up to the park boundary. people living around here complain of the frequent blasting and cold i asked and then the park the manager says if the mine comes into its buffer zone it'll be disastrous. if caught elephants are sensitive to sounds of good crocodiles so if those disturbance elephants cannot communicate this disappearance and explosive crocodiles finding their nests and so forth this well in this area once it's gone. it's never recovered the managers of the mining company called him deli say they're looking into using digging machines instead of blasting and they say they employ more than a thousand people from the community and more expand. the tourism creates thousands of jobs in the surrounding area selling services and goods such as ham craft as

well as the sixteen hundred people employed in the park itself jobs that conservationists say on the threat if the mining expands the municipal med doesn't agree he backs the expansion if forty two percent of all of our youth is unemployed it's a time ticking bomb if some time in are out. there just because it is. because you want to see them getting a job opportunities putting food on the table or ten bellies coal mines one of many cases in south africa and across the continent where mining conflicts with conservation and the tourism it brings extractive industries make up about thirty percent of africa's g.d.p. four times as much as tourism but campaigners say the sectors blighted by corruption and benefits far fewer people. back in the park people working here with the mining won't drive the wildlife away and with it the tourists and their jobs.

malcolm went out to zero. south africa. picked a target as director general of south africa tourism and he joins us from durban good to have you with us how much of a problem does this pose because the play the pace the place in malcolm's piece is not the only area in south africa where we're seeing mining and tourism coming into conflict. if indeed it is not the only side with it but i've said what we should just look at is how does it come up that we've got these existing fellow initiatives that are not quite in our money with each. and what that becomes the role of the switch. just making sure that we are in a position to get. some of these development activities to be in

line with sustainability principles. now in the county what we have a system of regulation that allows for all development activities to go through environmental impact assess. how these environmental impact assessments are able to ascertain whether their particular initiatives should proceed or it should not proceed such licenses once they've been issued in some instances they would even if conditions which environmental for it just would be so there would always be a need to. grow that element that takes place in a country that is developing legs of africa and of course the case is the same for most other african countries now if you look at the fact that. broadly south africa's development strategy under the leadership of president abbas. we are

focusing on how we are focusing on manufacturing we are focusing on turkeys and this is one of the big sectors that we are focusing on manufacturing focusing. on i grow processing these are these are all mining is one of those i want to stake a mining is one of. them he's saying this jumps in and ask if you've got a big wide open spaces cut not so because native animals on a tracks a lot of tourism. it also has underground perhaps gold diamonds or oil which industry would take preference. it's not it's not a straight forward is that so one can't necessarily say that you're going to choose this particular industry over this one without all the facts actually put before

the people that must make such decisions this is why we say when you have to concede a particular development opportunity you've got to look at the unintended consequences of that particular choice you want to make and if you saw me that you're going to end up with something that will have an impact on the environment there will be a requirement that it has to be assessed and whether that is going to be a permanent damage that may never be rehabilitated which may not even be ugly to buy the all forty trees because the sussman that is done the peoples of that particular suspect is for us to be able to ascertain whether there will be permanent damage to that particular environment or not however when you look at turkeys we all know that it is a strategy of choice in many cases because the footprint at that locality ok thank you we will have to leave. the jumping and. thank you very much for joining us from
