if the regime continues its nuclear aspirations it will have bigger problems than it has ever had before. to ted on of the poles the u.s. . nuclear deal. and welcome to al-jazeera live from our headquarters in doha with the problem also ahead. a swift reaction from iran to remain committed to the last month do you call in the u.s. withdrawal on acceptable. setting the stage the us secretary of state heads to north korea and preparation for donald trump's historic meeting with kim jong un plus i. pray for the so-called people movement in our media

a leader is elected prime minister. again with the u.s. president's decision to pull out of the iran nuclear deal donald trump defied last diplomatic efforts by his european allies to stick by it will follow in his announcement there's been swift international reaction with more criticism than support first to react was iran's president who said the u.s. does not respect its commitments on rouhani said he's ordered the atomic energy organization to be ready to start off the and richmond off uranium the signatories to the two thousand and fifteen the including france germany and the u.k. have said they regret trops decision but they'll remain parties to the pact the european union's top diplomat federica malvinas had the e.u. will preserve it to the u.n. secretary general antonio tears his. don remaining parties to abide by the iran deal the president trump did get support from the united arab emirates saudi arabia

and israel promised to benjamin netanyahu has praised the u.s. president for taking what he called a bold decision to pull out of a quote disastrous deal a white house correspondent can really help it reports. after much anticipation u.s. president donald trump made good on a signature campaign promise solidifying his america first agenda i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal this was a horrible one sided deal that should have never ever been made. the u.s. negotiated the agreement with iran in twenty fifteen along with the united kingdom france germany china and russia to limit iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief with the announcement the united states now bria poses tough economic sanctions on iran's oil and banking sectors that had been lifted arguing

iran did not live up to its end of the agreement we have definitive proof that this arabian promise was a lie. even though u.s. intelligence the united nations and european allies maintain iran has been compliant under the agreement trump cited a recent israeli report that iran had not been truthful about its activities before entering into the deal trouble also argues the agreement should have dealt with iran's military pursuits in the region and its ballistic missile program. capitol hill the top senate democrat disagrees and to me the right thing to do would have been to try and come up with our allies with an agreement on those issues and let the nuclear part of this continue as is because it's not being violated in any way trumps predecessor barack obama the man who oversaw the deal called trump's

decision a serious mistake in a statement obama said without the agreement the united states could eventually be left with a losing choice between a nuclear armed iran or another war in the middle east. deed former democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders believes the united states is already on that path the road to the war in iraq did not simply begin in two thousand and three it was laid down brick by brick over a number of years ironically as the president tore up the nuclear deal with iran secretary of state mike pompei it was on his way to north korea laying the groundwork for a nuclear deal with p.r. nyang president indicated the united states is willing to negotiate a new deal with iran but he says his decision also signals the united states will no longer make were trying calls empty threats. kimberly how al-jazeera at the

white house. let's go live to washington d.c. now our cost spondon she has her times he is joining us from there and as we've mentioned shihab among those who criticize trump's move is. to tell us more about you know why he thinks this is such a big mistake wow this is president obama's way he was very methodical in his statements against donald trump's decision he raised six different points beginning with the fact that this is a multi that true deal this isn't simply a deal between the u.s. and iran this was between the united nations security council it was unanimously voted for anyone security council and germany and and iran so that's number one number two the fact that it's working that iran has to draw a bold back its nuclear program further that the inspection regime is one is the most stringent we've ever seen for an international inspection regime and for that iran is actually complying with the the the deal as we've heard from both all the intelligence agencies in the u.s. quite recently in fact fearfully there's no expiration we keep hearing about sunset

clauses but there is no sunset clause on iran's right to have a nuclear weapon not that iran necessarily wants a nuclear weapon according to again the intelligence agency's own estimates here in the u.s. but there is no sunset clause on whether iran will ever have a nuclear weapon so that's false and then six this is an interesting point person obama concedes some of the neo cons main talking points it seems that president obama agrees with the near calls that iran is a force of instability in the middle east but president obama's all of human is far more unstable iran as a as a power if they're a nuclear power than if the nose of the neo cons have had their way she hops away too from here on how they and how this administration is going to deal with iran. and this is what's frightening people as kimberly suggested at the end of her report that it does seem like we're on that incremental policy once again inevitably to military action i was a single someone from the state department

a few hours ago there and he was sticking to the line look we're just trying to force them to the table again for a much more expansive deal and they'll come to their senses once these financial sanctions hits but what the u.s. is all doing for what it's all scheme for is impossible really for any nation to accept a loss of complete geographical sovereignty allowing inspectors anywhere in the country and a complete lack of strategic so flinty not have been able to make any foreign policy decisions of their own as far as i can tell from the sort of demands we're hearing from washington's about does it lead to that question are we on some plan for regime change donald trump says he doesn't want any more entanglements in the middle east those around him however do and we know about john bolton john bolton in particular national security advisor has long called for bombing iran and so we're getting this picture off a joined up strategy in the in the administration if not from the old trump himself of entirely remaking the middle east on behalf of saudi arabia and israel and their allies against iran and anyone who stands in their way will be discarded not known

to be the palestinians perhaps a jar a cushion a group ground deal and so on this is about remaking the middle east so there are all these fears of this is going to lead to some attempted regime change all bombing john bolton was all specifically will this lead point to boots on the ground. speech earlier in the white house and bolton replied that those people who feel that way would be badly mistaken but boots on the ground isn't necessarily what john bolton's always advocated he's always advocated bombs from the sky so there are great fears that were once again that incremental road to war she had thank you very much for that is she happy tante live and washington d.c. . and iran's president hassan rouhani is has his country has fulfilled all its commitments to the deal he wants to stops investment. they've done nothing except put empty signatures on pieces of paper without doing anything about it the iranian mission on the other hand has agreed to everything

and accomplished all its responsibilities we had some duties based on that agreement and we have delivered all of them but today we can see which is the country that doesn't respect international agreements we have done nothing wrong is not acceptable that the us is pulling out. the same bus route he has more from ted on. if there are any hopes of iranians benefiting from this deal or this deal staying alive now in whatever form it may that's really in the hands of the foreign minister of iran jawad zarif who helped negotiate that deal after president hassan rouhani spoke the foreign minister sent out a tweet in and he said in response to u.s. persistent violations and unlawful withdrawal from the nuclear deal as instructed by president rouhani i'll spearhead a diplomatic effort to examine whether remaining j c p a way participants can ensure its full benefits for iran outcome will determine our response that really does signal that this deal in the same way that it was

a major policy initiative of the obama administration was also a major success at the time for the administration of president hassan rouhani he championed the deal that was what helped propel him in his last presidential campaign and win reelection and so it's an important part of their foreign policy initiative and it's something despite the fact that it is now very much hampered with the u.s. pullout it's not something that they're willing to let go without a fight hard line critics military hawks here in iran were very much against negotiating with the with the united states and its allies over any sort of nuclear agreement the supreme leader himself saying that he was fairly certain it would not work out because as he said years ago the united states was not a reliable negotiating partner something which rouhani has said that it is now been proven once again. and our diplomatic as james bay is has more now on the action

from around the world to the u.s. decision sanctions. president trump's speech in the diplomatic reception room of the white house put the u.s. in breach of one of the most important diplomatic agreements in recent history a deal that helped to negotiate the diplomatic reception around the world dismay if not surprise in recent weeks the french president emmanuel mccraw and the german chancellor angela merkel came to washington to lobby trunking the u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson even went on the cable t.v. show the u.s. president is known to watch over breakfast all these efforts failed and the u.s. has three closest european allies issued this statement it is with regret and concern that we the leaders of france germany and the united kingdom take note of president trump's decision to withdraw the united states of america from the joint comprehensive plan of action together we emphasize our continuing commitment to the

j c p a way this agreement remains important for our shared security. the european union pledged to stay in the deal and make it work without trump the european union is the thurmont to act in accordance with its security interests and to protect its economic investments but there is a major problem ahead trump's new ambassador to germany rick grinnell has already tweeted that german companies should wind up their operations in iran could companies from europe and elsewhere now face secondary u.s. sanctions causing major strains between washington and its allies iranian president hassan rouhani said his government will wait a matter of weeks while it seeks guarantees from the europeans that the deal will still benefit them even those pushing for the deal survival know there's a risk of it dying a slow death and that diplomacy could be replaced with

a slide towards further conflict in the middle east james pays zero at the united nations still ahead on the bulletin of the world malaysia's prime minister cling on to power in an election by and by scandal and biggest competition and kim jong un via firms north korea's commitment to denuclearization during a seaside stroll with chinese president xi jinping. from dusky sunset so if it's proving savannah. to sunrise atop an asian metropolis hello there we've got yet more rain developing over parts of china the latest system is finally cleared away from the south coast but now we're seeing this area of wet weather that's developing over the northern parts of it now and stretching up over chong ching lots of heavy rain on that and that system sticks around as we head into thursday as well only slowly edging its way

watching closely they want this second chance of democracy to work but they also want an improvement in their everyday lives natasha going to name old zira year of on our media. donald trump's chief diplomat has arrived in north korea to prepare for a summit with kim jong on my pump a i met kim in the north korean capital last fall and before he was sworn in as secretary of state both washington and pyongyang have agreed on a date and location of the meeting thought a further details have been released let's go now to our correspondent kathy novak who is joining us live from the south korean capital seoul so what's expected off this visit cathy. well my pump a.o. says he's going to be meeting senior leaders and of course the last time he was there he met with the leader kim jong un it's unclear if he will meet with kim again this time but the topic up for discussion with whoever is representing the

north korean government will be the details of that expected meeting between kim jong un and donald trump says that when he was last there then as the head of the cia he laid the groundwork for that expected meeting and this time it's expected they will hammer out some of the details donald trump says that the date and location have been set though he hasn't revealed the details of publicly so that's the issues we expect to come up as well as the agenda items you the united states wants to make clear that the u.s. wants to see real denuclearization of the korean peninsula that means the complete verifiable winding back of north korea's nuclear program so one would expect that my wants to make sure that the north koreans understand that that is what donald trump will be wanting to discuss when he meets kim jong il and if that meeting does indeed go ahead the other topic for discussion is the fate of the three americans who remain detained in north korea donald trump had foreshadowed that the public

should stay tuned for an imminent announcement on the potential release of those three americans but that has still not been confirmed elizabeth catlett the irony of donald trump's chief diplomat arriving in north korea to discuss a nuclear deal and what them on the same day that the president pulls the u.s. out of a historic deal with iran isn't lost on anyone so how is that decision likely to play into negotiations over north korea's nuclear program do you think. well one would expect that north korea would certainly be watching we often talk about what a closed society north korea and north korea is but as of when it comes to the leader kim jong un and his government they are very aware of what is happening in the outside world and would be paying attention as the united states pulls out of a nuclear deal it only made in the past few years north korea has often been

distrustful of the united states making references to the case of libya where it gave up its nuclear weapons and the ultimate fate of the leader gadhafi at the time it does not want to see something similar happening to the government in north korea it has said often that it needs its nuclear weapons for defensive purposes so what donald trump seems to be saying is that he as a person as president keeps his promises he promised to pull out of the iran nuclear deal and that is indeed what he has done but from north korea's perspective it has had the same leadership since the foundation of its country the same family the kim family running the show and making all of the decisions whereas it knows that in the case of the united states or indeed in south korea where there is democracy that one government may make a decision and it is the prerogative of government that follows to go back on that so one would expect that may be something that the north koreans take into account

as they go into this expected meeting with the united states cathy thank you very much for that is kathy novak joining us live from seoul thank you. and kim jong un has pledged his continued commitment to denuclearize ation in a meeting with chinese president xi jinping that's come second visit his country's only ally this here china correspondent adrian brown has more. kim jong un's second secretive visit to china was confirmed on state t.v. s main evening news bulletins in a seven minute report this time kim was welcomed by president xi jinping in the northeastern city of dolly on close to the border with north korea and it's not clear if kim asked to come or was invited but it happened just a few weeks before the north korean leader's planned talks with u.s. president donald trump kim appeared to suggest the prospect of that get together was being undermined by trump what he said if the relative country stop their

hostile attitudes and threats then there's no need for north korea to have nuclear weapons like kim's powerful sister kim jong accompanied her brother her international profile continues to grow well the chinese side had thought hard about the backdrop they wanted for this visit and beyond these waters the korean peninsula direly and offering a picturesque setting. as the north only ally chinese leaders want to ensure they're not sidelined in the future diplomacy over north korea after a long strain in relations because of the north's misawa nuclear bomb tests the two sides are hugging again president xi has accepted an invitation to visit north korea possibly next month so possibly before kim shadrack meeting with trump in china didn't have

a seat at the recent historic summit between leaders of the two koreas and it won't be present at the kim from summit either so president xi wants to ensure that kim's priorities align with his adrian brown al-jazeera beijing. polls have just opened in malaysia in what's being billed as the country's tightest ever election let's take a look at the main candidates and what's at stake prime minister najib razak and his ruling party have been in power for more than six decades but allegations of his links to a corruption scandal involving the station had best been found may affect his party's performance competing against like us has one time mentor and former prime minister mahathir mohamad and ninety two year old quit his old party and gave the country's opposition a huge boost for his fortune and lions but then it does x. coalition is still expected to win the vote but a significant loss of seats to marty could leave the prime minister open to a leadership challenge with then has on party well discontent over the rising cost

of living among voters may also sway the vote self let's get more on this now we're joined by correspondent rob mcbride who is live for us in kuala lumpur so what are the issues on voters' minds as they head to the polls. that's right elizabeth there is very much a test of the credibility of prime minister najib depending on how close this vote is it may well be a test also with his political survivability as you mentioned there he is plagued by this ongoing scandal the one scandal of the saga over this massive government run investment fund that saw hundreds of millions of dollars misappropriated a lot of the blame for the whole debacle has fallen at the door of no g. allegations that he has always denied but certainly those allegations still persist as people go to the polls but there are other bread and butter issues that are concerning people as they vote today we are at

a polling station in central kuala lumpur it is half an hour after the polls have opened i live is already seeing very brisk business here a lot of the issues people are talking about are things like the cost of living an issue a grievance that hasn't been helped by a very unpopular government. service packs which is coming in the last couple of years for their part the ruling combination coalition which is dominated by on that has been in power since the birth of modern malaysia. in its election campaigning has been reminding people that a lot of the prosperity they enjoy now has been built up in the recent decades by its policies and it is time to stay with those tried and tested policies of course for many people here in malaysia and for everyone in the opposition after sixty one years of unbroken rule it is very much time for change a little bit and just rob just very quickly apart from the issues this is seen very much as a personal battle between two former allies and now bitter fires that's

right it's analogy of on the one side and as you mention them i had here mohammed at the age of ninety two coming out of retirement making it his personal quest to try to unseat najib accusing him of corruption but one of the problems facing the opposition here and the the margin has been closing as people have gotten closer to polling day is what they believe is a certain amount of gerrymandering of the political boundaries here the constituency where in here a used to be a strong opposition seat but now because of alleged moving of the boundary to include thousands of pro-government supporters is now very much a marginal seat the concern for the opposition here is that they may win the popular vote but the government stays in power because they win more seats elizabeth rob thank you very much for that that is a rather than i was joining us live from kuala lumpur thank you.
