conference final for a fourth straight time. now armenia's opposition leader nicole pasha neon has been elected by the parliament as new prime minister after weeks of anti-government protests the demonstrations were sponsored by the decision to appoint the former president's surge surrogate seann as the prime minister well the outcry for circassians resignation last month and the protests is didn't leave seeking the appointment of their lead. as prime minister we can go live now to jerez and ask first one and robin first and robin it just seems to be a c.e.o. of a pretty euphoric people behind you says pleased they at the news. just

to experience it and you could feel that. you could probably hear that they broke. because this is a constant this is a. party that's taking place in the center of the public square and everybody waiting. to appear on stage as you address the. parliament i just a few minutes ago when we. got the majority that he was looking for. the republican party that is approved being here for the past to get. to sleep. the other week. and. now the republican party has.

the power. it was expected that they would they would accept the will of the people of the that but they decided to leave the. real life. with a good. example for the people. and has received the votes they need but it's going to be pretty hard. to bring about. the right thing that will of. course. to make big changes is going right through. the bailout of the free and fair elections about the middle of all economic and republican m.p. you still have that majority of the ball here that if you can read the whole pretty fair election we don't know where it will be. and he's going to have to deliver all

that and grow with this all those pledges that he's made to the army to be able to rid this country of the option to get rid of the only women. if you want to. educate. the growing middle class but the problem with the media is that. many people have left that there is a huge problem with break training so. crazy according to bring people back to our being a right now we think a lot of our media already come to see this revolution happen and they will be leaving just upset. with rigid think about it. and of course you'll end up being a mini critic of the. region

with a capital a few weeks ago when there was a handful of the builders with a pickle that it was going to. get. without the. rules of. the republican party with the most maturity but it will be to be able to connect with him with his message they were ready when they. go from this obscure politician to now on the right minister of the. country and. the poor. very very few countries. which used to have something. to credit. the

police to the security forces the. very. thing. the government. was going to expect that there was maybe you know. detroit. but every. movement. which is they've come up with new tactics and they just had the people. with the.

resolution. ok thank you very much robyn for a. correspondent there in the heart of these extraordinary scenes taking place in the armenian capital get a robin will come back. nicole. comes out to address the crowd in the meantime though we're going to look at some some other news that we will as i say go back to these remarkable scenes in media now donald trump is just hours away from announcing whether the u.s. will stay in the iran nuclear deal the u.s. president. it on monday that he'll be making a declaration at the white house days ahead of the deadline for him to extend a waiver of sanctions against iran now ahead of that much awaited decision iran's president said tehran will stand on its own feet regardless of whether it faces new sanctions and some u.s. democratic policy center says they've written to president drum in

a last ditch attempt to stop him from walking away from the deal and it follows a flurry of high level meetings in washington between u.s. officials and european allies who fear that the president will make a mistake well we'll be speaking with in the iranian capital in just a moment but first here is this report from our white house correspondent can believe it. 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 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 trumpet ministers including secretary of state mike

pompei oh 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 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 china it's designed to contain. iran's nuclear program for civilian use only. trump wants 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 relief 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 health at al-jazeera at the white house right now let's go live to tehran the iranian capital through to our correspondent there is a as the world awaits this announcement to come from the white house what is the sense in tehran we've seen the president looking pretty bullish pretty confident. absolutely i think

iranian leaders are well aware that at this stage the fate of the nuclear deal is out of their hands and so the rouhani administration the government that championed this deal is in kind of damage control a lot of the defiant tone you're hearing he was even cracking jokes today when he was attending an oil and gas exhibition here into iran a lot of the jovial mood a defiant mood is meant to address the concerns of a domestic audience here there was a great deal of criticism by hard line clerics military hawks that said that negotiating this deal with western powers in the first place was a fool's errand to the supreme leader himself even said he didn't think that it would work out and so what the rouhani administration now wants its people here to know what it wants the iranian people to know are two things that it went into this deal as an honest broker that the blame rests squarely on america shoulders for the deal falling apart and number two that this isn't the iran that negotiated the deal

this is a very different iran it is strategically more influential and it is economically more capable and president rouhani is pointing to the oil and gas exhibit that he attended today as one of the key industries that will help iran push forward in the future the oil industry of course despite difficulties to export oil in the past during previous sanctions being one of the largest oil producing nations helped iran navigate decades of economic isolation and leaders in iran as well as oil industry experts that we spoke to hope that that can happen once again. from this fairground it's difficult to tell that iran is going through a diplomatic crisis or 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. i mean 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 cod 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 goods 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 in 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. had a ruse miss an on going about horny than you are every day americans make a new excuse they want to conclude every year in a way to benefit themselves so should we give up you know we are a powerful country with great resources in the world for example in oil and 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. and saying so as your reporter illustrated the fact that oil and gas is pretty much an economic lifeline for iran but if donald trump decides to walk away from this nuclear deal and reimpose sanctions paths even go further than before it is that economic lifeline that will be targeted is there a plan b. and iran. exactly you're absolutely right it is the oil and gas industry that would would suffer most both exports insuring businesses that operate in and out of iran dealing with iran all of these things would come under attack and it is the threat of sanctions against iran and

secondary sanctions against companies that would do business or countries that would do business with iran that is keeping a lot of investors away and while iran is hopeful that many of its relation efforts over the last few years will pan out that they will enjoy support in a one to one relationship with many countries they're not banking on it they're taking practical steps to once again become self-reliant iranian leaders as well as regular iranian people that we've spoken to in recent weeks have said that sanctions by the united states is nothing new that they're accustomed to it and president rouhani even today in his meetings with ministers and leaders at the oil exhibition said that self-reliance is the key to moving forward with iran's future whether there are sanctions or not he was keen on leading his country forward to becoming more focused on domestic production and consumption of both goods and services all right zain thank you for that zain bez ravi as our correspondent in the iranian capital tehran. well this deal this iran nuclear deal it's

a dense web of written agreements and deadlines that make up the overall agreement and it took years to actually agree the deal was finally signed off by iran in twenty fifteen with the pa five permanent security council members as well as germany and the e.u. and a week later it was indorsed by a un security council resolution which made it international law iran agreed to reduce the number of centrifuge machines from around twenty thousand to five thousand for ten years centrifuges and needed to enrich uranium and that's of course is a material that can be used to make nuclear bombs iran also probably has to enrich a maximum of three point six seven percent of its uranium for fifteen years additional limits were put on its research and development of advance centrifuges iran also removes the core of its main heavy water reactor and filled it with cement is not allowed to build any new reactors for fifteen years to be sure iran

is complying inspectors from the international atomic energy agency they have access to its nuclear sites and in exchange for all of this the us e.u. and un agreed to ease sanctions but those sanctions can be reimposed again if iran is found to be in violation of the deal let's now swing to adnan who is iran analyst and c.e.o. of the center for applied research in partnership with the orient and has advised european policymakers on iran he's joining us via skype from bone as it stands at the moment the europeans seem to be thinking that they might be able to go it alone if donald trump walks away from the deal do you do you think the europeans will be able to maintain the twenty fifteen agreement with iran without the americans. that's going to be very difficult and i'm saying this because the past weeks have not been too promising a lot of political capital has been invested into keeping trump compliant to the

agreement but i'm afraid the messaging towards iran was not sufficient for the iranian side to accept what made you left of the juice if you a without the u.s. and i'm afraid that the economic political and security dividends the iranians. cannot be provided by the europeans so easily and the problem seems to be very much that the deal itself covers only iran's nuclear activity and iran by all accounts is in compliance with the deal it seems very much as though donald trump has taken exception to iran's other activities its activities in the region and indeed its missile program look if you can it could be sealed only because it was focused on just that and there has been statements from the iranians that if they security implementation goes smoothly other deals can be negotiated so that be sure your reality is that without securing the implementation of what you have

achieved you are longing for something else and and fred this will not work now we've heard a lot from the europeans who are very middling in favor of maintaining the deal and what about the other two veto wilting members of the security council of the permanent five obviously i'm talking about russia and china what is their view on this. the connection was a bit disrupted i hope i got your question right i think that the russians and the chinese can in fact maybe live with both scenarios if the j.c. that you see a survives iran will be politically economically elevated to potentially higher levels which the russians and chinese have objects into but they may also prefer a scenario or like the scenarios that the security falls apart which would made iran war dependent on them so i guess with my limited knowledge on these two actors there is kind of the win win for them all right adnan tabata by thank you very much really interesting to talk to you my pleasure. and we've got

a lot more to come on this out here news hour including. taking a closer look at donald trump's pick to head the cia who is gina housefull and why she's best known for torture. and we visit a wildlife park in south africa where a mining project is threatening conservation until risen. and hockey stanley cup champions the pittsburgh penguins are dumped out of the playoffs details will come up with jack inspired. that in nigeria where the army has confirmed the rescue of more than a thousand block of her arm hostages they were mainly women and children and they were released from several villages in borno state along with some young men who say the group forced them to fight. governors from chad and cameroon

not sure if he or his family will get any help this year. i'm getting older and the young ones can go to fish because of fear of attacks but poke around with no work and no income many of them have now joined the fight is something governments in the region want to stop this is a recent spike in violence requires a look beyond providing aid something they want to address in a regional meeting in nigeria we need a holistic approach that looks at the short term human tyranny its but also tries to start supporting those medium along with a low record real development that are so critical to find the solution to this crisis. the lectured region is one of the poorest in the world despite its vast agricultural and water resources i doubt by boko haram have made the situation worse thousand stanley employed in a region already struggling with poverty and lack of jobs this company produces

a substantial threat from what we've seen in the past few months or so what outsiders were able to launch attacks on targets that include civilian and military targets and then also invaded places of worship killing hundreds of warship was over the past one year or so now they may have been chased out of the towns and cities but they continue to pose a significant threats not only to lives and property but also food security in the region for example the make chive is a very very potential area for fisherman farmers and cattle herders now when no activity can go on in that particular please also the military has launched substation raids on both coram targets which is continued by the way that launched another operation earlier this month on the first of this month which is entirely told or titled operation last hold which is aimed at finally uprooting book water but this particular operation is targeted mainly i book or a function that is

a lie to myself in west africa now the other book water is on the other side of borno state operating deep into cameroon attack in places like china and asia and also continue to remain a substantial threat we've seen in the last two weeks how they attempted to come into the city of my degree a fortress of some sort for the nigerian government that denied the slightest access to the city but they continue to make incursions they continue to attempt to come in just to prove a point all right finalmente thank you armitage is live in my doesn't mean bonus stays in northeastern nigeria thanking. rob we'll have the weather in just a moment and also coming up on this al-jazeera news hour iraq is prepared to choose a new government one they hope will clamp down on corruption new york's attorney general quits following accusations he physically abused several women. and in sport the french cup final could be one of the biggest mismatches ever as the richest club in the world faces a team fighting

a third division relegation battle. from the neo knights of asia. to the city that never sleeps. now the recent rains in china be moving around like a snake all the way from shanghai down towards hong kong and the latest phase of daily thunderstorms been pretty big along the south coast as you can see in fact you could collect about one hundred millimeters he says in twenty four hours which is the collection period but some of this fell within an hour or two as a result we've seen some significant flooding in southern china this is young man and you can see waist deep of course it wasn't just food john that was affected it went all the way down to ground almost to you know the kasia only getting this sort of flooding interrupting morning rush hour hardly rush as you can see that these

things do tend to clear away but you get repeats so if the rain moves around is probably a good thing you don't get the repeat in the same place and the latest heavy rain in six hours is further north and west and i think over the next twenty four hours exactly where the rain is going to fall it might still catch hong kong but isn't it comes back through here and up towards sichuan as john does twenty degrees right on the edge of it now what it stay here i think for two days he probably will stay where it is moved back again because this is spring rain time and it will be for shanghai westwards or hong kong westwood's but the moment it can't decide exactly where. the weather sponsored by the time place. al jazeera is investigative units reveals tactics used by and she must remove nations to instigate a fear of islam all regular universities here are the photos over the place where they're recruiting this stuff is toxic he's a poison salesman we saw

time to take a look at the top stories here on the news hour and within the past hour also manias parliament has elected the opposition leader nicole. he is now the new prime minister just about see him there on those big screens he's addressing the tens of thousands of euphoric supporters of his who have turned out in republic square to greet the new prime minister that is the scene live in the armenian capital. and the face of the iran nuclear deal hangs in the balance with donald trump about to announce whether or not the u.s. will pull out. the iranian president says iran will stand on its own feet regardless of what the u.s. president does. nigeria's army has confirmed it's rescued more than a thousand baka captives the hostages were rescued from several villages in borno state they're mainly women and children and some young men who were forced to

become fighters for the armed group. saudi arabia says it's trying to resolve the disagreement over a yemeni island which is occupied by troops from the united arab emirates protests is also in the arabian sea a demanding. they arrived last wednesday forcing out yemeni soldiers. that's eleven and where saad hariri is likely to keep his job as the prime minister there despite his party's poor showing in sunday's election hariri says his sunni backed future movement appears to have lost a third of its seats while preliminary results show big gains for the sheer movement has baller and its allies that are harder 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 group is backed by iran it's the only lebanese party that has an armed wing and its electoral games further empowers it politically hezbollah's leader called for cooperation. and i. stress 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 a longer heads the largest block in the legislature but he still retains the majority of seats allocated to suddenly muslims how did he faced opposition. in 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 working on services like electricity water roads and instead focus on political challenge levanon can't 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 major role in lebanese politics. for the better. or 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 lies in lebanon where no longer united and they couldn't be a force to confront hezbollah 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. beirut. nine fighters loyal to libya's renegade general. have been killed near the sensitive have to us forces have laid siege to for the last two years they've been trying to force out a coalition known as the mujahideen. if you have you with us i announce that the victory hour for liberation has been reached and that your forces are not targeting the hideouts of their terrorists and their own or this is after we gave instructions to avoid civilian casualties and to protect civilians securing their safety and respecting the rules of engagement and international humanitarian law.

the anticorruption going to iraq says three hundred twenty billion dollars has gone missing in the past fifteen years because of government corruption so it's a major concern for iraq is who voted for a new palm and on saturday iran call reports from the capital baghdad. these warplanes should have cost iraq less than a million dollars each instead they cost thirteen million dollars apiece brought him there are g.e. is a member of the parliamentary transparency commission which looks at deals done by iraq's government and any allegations of corruption he says it's one of many examples of corrupt deal making. our financial experts estimate from two thousand and three until now more than three hundred twenty billion u.s. dollars went missing and is untraceable most of this money went through corrupt contracts one example is a check warplanes steal the price tag for each jet is nine hundred seventy five

thousand u.s. dollars but the iraqi government purchased them for thirteen million u.s. dollars for each one the reason for the corruption he says are simple and i don't with one there are no investigative institutions that hold accountable those corrupt iraqis have a saying that goes much unprotected money encourages theft it's not just the major cases of corruption that concern iraq is cronyism and nepotism permeates all levels of society and you don't have to go far in baghdad to hear those stories. business owners have long complained that the system favors those who pay bribes and have contacts. corruption is serious in iraq one simple example is that import of goods and groceries the dent of from kuwait saudi arabia u.a.e. on the rest of the region our government does not encourage national products or support iraqi farmers this is where corruption is apparent government officials

make money from those contracts with those countries and it's always to me if at least my wife has graduated from that. she still got a government job due to. political analysts who research corruption cases in iraq say it's too late to get the stolen money back. no one can eradicate corruption it runs deep in the iraqi institutions but whoever the new prime minister is could make a fresh start that could prevent any more corruption but what has been done in the past cannot be compensated eradicated overboard against anymore in two thousand and seventeen two thousand arrest warrants were issued in iraq on corruption charges two hundred ninety people have been arrested and so far cases are going through the courts but the still anger from many in iraq over corruption allegations and politicians are regularly criticized on social media for serving only their own interests fighting that perception will be a challenge iran can how does their baghdad. sure lanka's parliament is sitting for

the first time since it was suspended by the president last month my three palace city center made the move after cracks appeared in his ruling coalition it suffered major losses in local elections in february which was seen as a referendum only alliance and then in march prime minister randall wickramasinghe survived a no confidence mission in palm and he's from the un p.c. that sirius and his coalition partner but the two have been caught in a power struggle over the economy after the mission some members of city centers freedom party resigned their portfolios and they'll now sit with the opposition but now fernandez has more now from the capital colombo. politically there will be some things to watch the group of ministers that were from the president's party and voted for the no confidence motion against a prime minister choosing to cross the will of the house to the opposition this say

they will see it as a separate group not to join the in the rajapaksa group and the joint opposition but sit as a separate group and support present my policy to say. the government those left over have sort of regrouped there's been a cabinet reshuffle to distribute some of the portfolios that were headed by that group that has left the government and very much to be seen how the government maps out its way forward the infighting is something that it will have to get over the president taking everybody again by surprise at a political rally yesterday saying that contrary to what many people feel that he would retire in twenty twenty to say that he still has a lot of political life left in him so a lot of things to see over the coming months the president trumps low money for cia director gina haskell is expected to face tough questioning during her confirmation hearing on capitol hill the spy agency veteran is donald trump's choice to replace mike home pay oh who's now of course secretary of state but there

are major questions about hospitals role in the torture of prisoners as heidi joe castro reports now from washington who is gina housefull the intelligence veteran endorsed by six former cia heads to become the agency's next to rector she is not only a highly respected nominee. but she is among the most qualified that will ever serve in that role or as critics have called her the head cheerleader for waterboarding it sends a signal to the rest of the world that we do not value human rights and the people who engage in even the worst acts of torture or supervise people who do so can end up becoming cia director and serve at the highest levels of government house who ran a secret cia prison in thailand after the nine eleven attack under her watch at least one terrorism suspect was water boarded and has pulled later ordered videotapes

showing enhanced interrogation sessions to be destroyed a senate report labeled those techniques torture it's very concerning because those of us that worked on the torture report know some things that are classified and. that this is an important part of this woman's career the cia has selectively declassified some details on how schools thirty three years working for the agency from an undercover agent in africa and eurasia the chief of station in several overseas postings to deputy director but last week haskell reportedly offered to withdraw her nomination to lead the agency telling the white house she didn't want to have a confirmation hearing that may potentially damage the cia's reputation president trump pushed back monday tweeting my highly respected nominee for cia director gina haskell has come under fire because she was too tough on terrorists haskell's test
