sure exactly what will happen but from everyone we've spoken to the palestinians are determined to come out in huge numbers stephanie decker al jazeera east gaza. two days after israel blamed iranian forces in syria for firing missiles into the golan heights iran's foreign ministry has denied israel's account of the incident and tommy a senior cleric joined the chorus of condemnation coming from tehran but from what he said in his friday sermon israel is not the only thing iran's leaders are worried about zain the reports the in perhaps the harshest words. so far a senior iranian cleric said israeli cities face destruction if that country continues to act quote foolishly the during a friday sermon a to her own university ayatollah cut to me had this warning after strikes on what israel says were iranian targets in syria that in august said we will expand our
12:06 am
missile capabilities despite western pressure to kid it to let israel know that if it acts foolishly tell of even hate for will be totally destroyed ca to me is part of the council of experts an eighty eight member body that elects iran's supreme leader he's also a political hard liner and has been a harsh critic of the two thousand and fifteen iran nuclear deal he gave his views on the u.s. pullout from that agreement empty because i don't think america cannot do a damn thing they have always been after toppling of iran's regime and they segs it is in line with that these european signatories also cannot be trusted iran's enemies cannot be trusted not on these comments come as a ronnie and foreign minister job ads or if prepares to embark on a diplomatic tour meeting the remaining signatories of the nuclear agreement his
12:07 am
job to try to preserve the deal has no doubt become more difficult. i if they actually want to continue with the deal they have to adopt toss diplomacy with the europeans the europeans have to come up with mechanisms to protect european companies in european banks that want to invest and do trade with iran and an escalation of violence at syria's border seems linked to the u.s. pullout from the nuclear deal well i think the israelis are trying really hard to completely kill off the deal by rising tensions in the region they're essentially going to make it even very difficult for iran to even work with the europeans and i think all. ultimately what they're trying to do is to put you on the confrontational path with the west and i mean that's the reason why they were against the deal from the beginning the. iranian leaders know the nuclear deal is on borrowed time and there is mounting public pressure at home as well as deep
12:08 am
internal divisions among the rance political heavyweights all this could mean that an international agreement here is in the making not something that represented a hard one to pull a magic victory for iran is now beyond repair hardliners in iran have been emboldened by the events of the last few days and the moderates the government of president hosni rouhani are not only in a fight to save the nuclear deal abroad but also to maintain their own political futures here at home zain bus ravi old a zero to her on germany france and britain are desperate to keep the nuclear deal alive some of europe's biggest companies have billions of dollars on the line in france airbus agreed a twenty five billion dollars deal to supply more than one hundred aircraft to iraq oil john total was set to invest five billion dollars in southpaws the world's largest gas field and the carmakers renna in persia made deals worth around five hundred million dollars each has more from paris. or french government ministers
12:09 am
have been working very hard on a plan to try and reduce minimize or even get rid of the impact of u.s. sanctions on french companies working in iran there's a sense of urgency here certainly a sense of frustration we heard from the french foreign minister a bit earlier saying europeans should not be made to pay for the fact that the united states has decided to pull out of the iran deal now we have a host of french multinationals that have been working with iran ever since sanctions were lifted in twenty sixteen we're talking about companies like carmakers renaud citron drug companies son of the and of course energy giant hotel that has invested very heavily in gas fields in iran french finance minister bruno lemaire has been very busy trying to rally people around he says europe needs to step up and do more and he says france is going to try and present some measures to block these sanctions the impact of them on french companies to the european
12:10 am
commission in the next few days. so it's high time for your group to move from words to actions in terms of economic sovereignty it's high time it developed the same instruments the united states has to defend its economic interests. well only on friday we heard from one iranian minister who said that the european plane maker airbus is going to give a decision in the coming days on whether or not it will continue with its deal with iran and now basically air bus signed a deal with iran air back in twenty sixteen to deliver one hundred planes it was a deal worth billions of dollars but in this climate of uncertainty nobody knows what is going to happen next. well for more on what's next for the nuclear deal let's speak to bess my money she's a professor at waterloo university in canada where she specializes in foreign policy related to the middle east she joins us from our washington studio good to
12:11 am
see you so these european powers that were key to concluding the nuclear deal in the first place along with the u.s. of course france germany and the u.k. are very keen to preserve trade and economic ties with iran to continue the sanctions waiver so that these big deals continue continue to go through presumably partially in their own interests of course but in the interests of preserving iran's adherents to the deal how possible is that given the u.s. stance given the new sanctions instituted or rather the waivers lifted by the u.s. . it's going to be difficult without a doubt you know i think as you said the european countries have a lot of vested interest in this i mean these are large contracts and in very high value added sectors it's jobs and of course without a doubt like all the countries throughout the world the europe in particular i mean globe growth the global growth today is served by
12:12 am
a slightly sluggish so we all need sort of these kinds of economic and financial wins but you know there are some obstacles at play here perhaps the most being the financial ones you know companies may eventually get waivers they may in fact be insulated and protected by let's say the you and some sort of legal measure to allow them to continue to operate but how are they to get their money out of iran and this is the biggest challenge for many companies left will they be able to get their money out through credit swaps through the say their central banks that's an option but the international financial system is so american dominated that it's really difficult to get their money out using american banks and their affiliates and even international ones because they have so many global operations in the united states and beyond they're just not willing to incur the potential sanctions that come with it is there pressure then for measure mechanisms that might allow a way of avoiding these u.s. sanctions. well you know i mean maybe if you are referring to cuba right i mean
12:13 am
europe and canada for example they had continued to trade with cuba despite sort of the sanctions that the americans tried to have particular secondary or tertiary sanctions i think that's a great example you know there's going to be i think a lot of creative attempts to find ways to continue operating in iran and don't forget here i think at the end of the day the fact that the americans pulled out will allow the european countries to say look this is not a breach of an agreement that the iranians did this is basically american pulling out why should our companies have to suffer but then they frankly it's all going to be up to lawyers in the legal system to basically arbitrate this which as we all know one really doesn't know how it's going to go on these international forums to other nations involved in drafting the deal of course russia and china where does this leave them well you know frankly if the europeans pull out or arse are scared off from continuing their investments in iran they're going to be the
12:14 am
greatest beneficiaries you know both china and russia have said that they're going to continue to do business on the russian side obviously they're under american sanctions already so you know they don't care of and the secondary sanctions are going to come on them and the chinese are not really well integrated them international banking system so they don't care so they're going to benefit enormously and i think that's going to have to be explained to donald trump in many ways that you know if the sanctions are re-imposed and become heavy handed on the european companies these are two competitors that are really going to benefit and that's not in the long term american interest either just from a one of the three fairly gloomy prospects for the iran nuclear deal thanks for your time. think questions are being raised in kenya about whether a dam which burst and killed at least fifty people on wednesday had the necessary permits the water resources or storage he says the patel dams operators did not
12:15 am
have the permission required but the interior ministry told al jazeera the operation was entirely legal hope has now faded of finding any more survivors and recent reports with no hope of finding survivors the sense of urgency had gone it was apparent finding bodies over a large expanse of ground deep set by the flood water many of those found dead have been children. i may be alive but my mom is gone my son is gone i'm not lucky i feel so bad because the place has grown so much but now we have nothing again i will never have a good life again at the local mortuary there's an attempt at helping the bereaved a counselling service this man whose wife is dead express his gratitude that his daughter somehow survived the. massacre they were able to rescue my child after the water subsided she had hung on to a tree branch and was tired but i thank god she is ok. most of us gauged in one
12:16 am
of three actions identifying the dead trying to settle in and makeshift camps for the displaced or recovering what's left of their lives and their homes it's a familiar grim picture in so many parts of kenya in this flood crisis even so there are those who feel they're lucky. we thank god that we're alive even though we've lost everything i'm grateful for my life and that my family was spared. all over the area there was a controlled release of water from other downs but local people still feel uneasy about risks kenya's director of public prosecutions has ordered the chief of police to open an investigation local media are reporting that the patel dam was investigated by the national water resources or or any follow up by the or forty
12:17 am
aside from questions over this there are seven other similar dams in the area all of them used for irrigating the crops from the air it's clear to see the consequences of such a dam burst but an interior ministry spokesman on the ground told our zira that no laws have been broken by the farm owners some people are claiming the number of missing could be larger than the national disaster team is saying because many bodies have been recovered why do you know that we've heard on the radio that forty three people are missing i'm a local i just don't believe it we know it's a bit two hundred people that are missing. and so whatever the cause whatever the numbers the people of this rural district have to cope with their losses and somehow live in these grim conditions andrew symonds al-jazeera there is a county in kenya and there's much more to come here on the news hour. malaysia's

king agrees to prague jailed opposition leader on y e bridge paving the way for him to become prime minister. how the briggs's vote was seen a growing culture of racism in the u.k. . and in sports rafael nadal's unbeaten run comes to an end with those details a little later. south korea wants u.s. troops to stay in their country saying their removal these non-negotiable and should not be on the table in any denuclearization talks with north korea the south's foreign minister kan killing why are as made that clear on her visit to washington d.c. to meet the new secretary of state mike pompei or for the first time well heidi jo castro has been following events for us in washington and joins us live from there
12:19 am
now following that press conference heidi it seems the key incentive being offered in those talks to come with north korea in return for their denuclearization is help rebuilding the economy rather than the removal of u.s. troops is not even on the table but isn't that the one key thing that kim jong il really wants in return for his compliance. well joe you're right i mean his country has only been asking for that very demand for the last sixty five years and it wasn't until just last month that there was any indication that kim jong un would be willing to drop that in there and according to south korea's president north korea's leader of so that he would no longer demand the withdrawal of u.s. troops from the korean peninsula as a precondition to opening these direct talks with the u.s. there are twenty eight thousand u.s. troops currently stationed in south korea and as you mentioned the foreign minister of south korea meeting with my pump aoe today has said that those u.s.
12:20 am
troops provide a crucial deterrence in the peninsula and that any change in size of u.s. forces should be off the table in this upcoming summit between kim and trump however it is difficult to imagine a world where north korea with suddenly change its mind and no longer feel that the u.s. troops along its borders are a threat as a show of good faith though in the recent military exercises held jointly between the u.s. and south korea kim jong il was silent typically in the past his country has all hallways very vocally denounced those exercises but again it is difficult to imagine that come june twelfth when the two countries' leaders meet that this would not be an issue that north korea would want the u.s. to address well the u.s. is asking for complete very far irreversible denuclearize ation of north korea.
12:21 am
to come out of those talks is it clear that this means precisely the same thing to both the u.s. and south korea in the run up to the talk. that's a great question because it at this point it isn't clear at all that there's an agreement on the definition on the definition of denuclearization for the us that would mean not only ending weapons testing and development but getting rid of the weapons and the materials that currently exist now north korean officials have said some things publicly that have to question whether they also view nuclearization the same terms they've indicated that they already have the nuclear weapons that they need and while they will close these nuclear testing sites those sites themselves are already old and maybe not may not be worth much for much longer and the question is what will north korea do with its current arsenal of weapons that it already has and which we've seen the country parade through the streets of north
12:22 am
korea on many occasions they are a symbol not only of national security in north korea but also kim jong un's power to his people so it is very again a very big question as to what north korea would be willing to do with its current nuclear weapons jonah. live for us in washington thanks heidi hundreds of people have taken part in protests across yemen to demand the united arab emirates withdraw soldiers from the island of so called. the demonstrators are calling it an occupation and demanding the soldiers leave so-called dryland is a world heritage site located about three hundred fifty kilometers from the southern coast of yemen the u.s. deployed a military force there last week without prior coordination with the yemeni government . malaysia's new prime minister excuse me. to mohamed says the king has agreed to pardon the former deputy prime minister ibrahim was jailed while he was opposition leader on charges he says were politically motivated but he's now
12:23 am
in coalition with mahathir after wednesday's election when hate reports from kuala lumpur. think that as the prospect of a pardon sent family supporters and media scrambling to a hospital in kuala lumpur inside and why abraham is recovering from shoulder surgery under a prison guard while he serves a five year jail term earlier the new prime minister mahathir mohamad said the malaysian king had agreed to pardon and while immediately it is going to be a full five there was means that he should not really be if i did it should be released immediately when it is. up there that you could be. but this speech really both ways which are remarkable woods to hear from who was grooming and want to take over in the one nine hundred ninety s. during his first tenure as prime minister but he sect him as his deputy in one nine
12:24 am
hundred ninety eight when unproven allegations of sodomy emerged and then oversaw his jailing for six years on corruption charges the following year in two thousand and fourteen he was convicted on separate sodomy charges and sentenced to five years now in events that not long ago would have seemed unthinkable and was wife one as he stands alongside as malaysia's first female deputy prime minister i didn't hear i had dreamt it could come this far twenty years it's quite some time i didn't cheat but it's a start of the new dawn a new era a new time formalise and i think it's a better future for all of us the prime minister now says he was wrong to fire and water twenty years ago and he'll hand power to him within two years even when anwar ibrahim is pardons and released it may be a long time before he can be elevated to the position of prime minister he would have to go through a by election in a seat somewhere in malaysia and then an internal vote so he can become
12:25 am
a party president all of that has to happen before he can become prime minister. the supporters who have been. with him during a long fight may not believe it until it actually happens given that mahathir mohamad has promised this transition before wayne hay al-jazeera kuala lumpur. a united nations envoy has condemned what she describes as a growing culture of racism in the united kingdom which is worsened since the vote to leave the european union tendai house call on the u.k. to repeal some of its immigration laws lawrence lee reports. people all over the u.k. like the bits of multiculturalism that make their lives nicer like for instance for food but nowadays it seems foreign people are not anything like as popular. pieces lived in the u.k. for twelve years in regards himself just as much british as polish but recently he took his kids to the park where they were given a stark reminder of how some in this country view outsiders one boy which was
12:26 am
probably some of the nine or ten years of english on wheels up to the book he was very very roots and the children is a nine year old boy yeah yeah and i think it came from his parents officials it istic from the british government show a steady rise in racial or religious the aggravated offenses over the last five years showing peaks for instance of the shirley abdo shootings in paris they didn't over three thousand incidents a month but between april two thousand and sixteen when the bricks and referendum campaign began and july twenty sixth seen just after the u.k. voted to leave incidents shot up peaking at over five and a half thousand a month. the abuse that some europeans goss' immediately after the referendum results made headlines at the time but the link wasn't made between those hate crimes and an official government policy of targeting illegal immigrants to go home now the united nations whose rapporteurs just finished a fact finding tour of the u.k.
12:27 am
suggested the bricks votes and political groups campaigning for combined some accommodates a growing culture of racism i think that the environment leading up to the referendum the environment during the referendum in the environment asked the west end and has made racial and ethnic minorities laws honorable to racial discrimination intolerance many on the right of british politics have condemned her visit saying the u.n. must have better things to do the victims of racism would not agree of course the votes to leave the european union followed on hard from a stated government policy of trying to create a so-called hostile environment for immigrants many supporters of blacks and say it's not europeans but the european union as an institution that their objective to but increasingly it seems to be europeans and others suffering the consequences the real issue is that while politicians say they make distinctions between illegal immigrants and people in the u.k. lawfully it doesn't follow that the public will see the difference several thousand incidents a month reported to the police shortly speaks to

12:35 am
month he told congress she is my enemy you get rid of her or i will so he's made it very clear that he wants to get rid of checks and balances people who stand in his way and he is intent on consolidating power we see throughout the world there's an axis of autocrats whether it's hungary or turkey or the philippines where we assumed that there were certain social and political norms that might be self reinforcing somehow that they would you know protect these democracies but we're learning that unless there is an active civil society and politicians willing to uphold those norms they're fairly easy to chip away at and we're also seeing that increasingly here in the united states as well now the chief justice of course was no fan of well to me but also of his pretty violent drug policy what outlook now for he's so cool drug war. it is definitely continuing the police however are no longer as eager to display dead bodies it used
12:36 am
to be in the past that they would gladly show journalists what you know this is the lesson they wanted to send out to the world and to other filipinos but because of international criticism they're starting to be more discreet about how they kill and how they dispose with the bodies but the finitely the killings are continuing by some estimates there have been more than twenty thousand people killed in his nearly two years in office other estimates put it in the lower twelve thousand range but roughly speaking about one person per hour since deterred days that an office has been killed that's traditionally more than one person per hour the philippines of course was known to take the ship in the past and in the past it's democracy has been healthy enough to rise up and fight against it eventually is there enough life in philippine democracy now to begin somehow to push back. it's on life support but the philippines has overthrown dictators in the past the
12:37 am
president marcos was a good example of that it was an ngo powerhouse with a vibrant civil society but we see that we take these things for granted it's hard to stand up against autocrats who are willing to go lower than anyone had predicted violate all conventions and norms and to to set the bar ever ever lower so this is the threat that we're seeing not just in the philippines but other countries as well that these these norms don't uphold themselves and we'll see very soon whether or not the philippines has the capacity to be resilient this time around ok well we will indeed we'll have to leave this on a tree director of drug policy the drug policy project at the institute for policy studies many thanks for your time thank you the world health organization says it's preparing for the worst case scenario after confirming two cases of ebola and thirty two probable or suspected cases in democratic republic of congo at least seventeen people have died since people in the village of because of began showing
