this is. hello i'm so tired so that and this is the news hour live from london coming up u.s. president donald trump says he's willing to meet his iranian counterpart has done rouhani at any time and without preconditions a high turnout at zimbabwe's first ever elections without former leader robert mugabe in their publishes a list that effectively strips for money and people of citizenship in the northern states of a sound. and i'm sorry

a small have all the day's sports and look who's arrived in italy portuguese football superstar christiane of an elder begins his new career with the event it. they've been locked in an escalating war of words ever since u.s. president donald trump withdrew from the landmark twenty fifteen nuclear deal but it seems that u.s. president trump has had a change of mind over iran saying he would be willing to meet his iranian counterpart hassen rouhani at any time and without preconditions trump made the surprising remarks during a press conference with italian prime minister become today in washington d.c. it comes just a week after he want to her and not just threaten the u.s. all risk suffering consequences like few suffered in history before. so i believe

in meeting i would certainly meet with a rant if they want to meet i don't know that they're ready yet to have a hard time right now. but i ended the deal it was a ridiculous deal i do believe that they will probably end up wanting to meet and i'm ready to meet any time they want to go into preconditions no they want to meet only any time they want any time they were good for the country good for them good for us and good for the world well we've got reaction from both the united states and iran and i will speak to same in the iranian capital tehran but first let's go to alan fischer who is the white house in washington d.c. alan was a difference a week can make small talk to different rhetoric from what we were hearing just seven days ago. exactly he said at that point that if iran threatened america at any point in the future then it would stuff suffer historical consequences and remember seeing a cartoon just after that and that particular pro-trade iranian leader sitting

round the television watching this saying oh goody we're getting a summit and that is perhaps how they feel that donald trump has done this before that he criticizes regimes very strongly you remember he called the north korean leader a little rocket man and threatened fire and fury if he ever considered attacking the united states he then went to a summit and many people said he got very little out of the summit and that's what critics are now saying donald trump has. had track record of doing this of threatening regimes of then setting up a summit and then walking away without any deal but is a mark of how donald trump believes the world works that he can go and renegotiate a better deal you remember that even since he was candidate trump he hated the iran deal largely because barack obama and his administration helped negotiate it many people of speculated that don't trump has never even read the iran deal but just reflexive leave decided that he didn't like it and said that he would scrap it

as soon as he became president a couple of times because he was asked to by congress and he has to do under u.s. law and then in me this cited that was that the united states was going to breach this international agreement by pulling out of it when he says he's there done away with the around deal of course he hasn't european countries and other international partners signed on with iran and as far as they're concerned it continues for the moment but there are people inside this white house have been very critical of the iranian government very critical of senior figures in the iranian government said it was time for regime change in iran they might not be very keen on the president talking to tehran but the reality is this is don't. white house and if you want to he can push the people who work for him to try and set this up indeed i mean if you save money down that well with the rest of the real republicans and as you say those that he holds close to him what about his own power base in

a wider circle of that i don't know actor him saying is quite happy to talk to the iranians. well i think they'll be ok with it i think they think that if donald trump's think this is something that's a good thing for the united states then they're quite happy to see him go ahead with this it will be interesting to watch the reaction over the next few days because when barack obama was president in the white house he was asked would you ever meet with the iranian president and he said quite simply it's something that i would consider he never said no preconditions anywhere any time he just said it something i would consider and he was pilloried by democrats by republicans and by many right wing commentators many of those right wing commentators are no big fans of donald trump and you remember that when barack obama said he would consider meeting the leader of north korea he was hammered by the people who then went on to say when don't trump was going to meet him that this was a good thing this was a big advantage for the united states and a sign of a diplomat who had

a firm hand on the tiller so it's going to be interesting to watch that over the next couple of days that is of course a question of who brokers this now with north korea there was an obvious broker south korea big ally of the united states could easily lay the groundwork for a big summit because they had contacts with pyongyang who does that here well i think the focus is probably likely to go on to the french because you remember that emanuel mccrone was here before donald trump violated the international deal by pulling out of it are doing him to stay part of the international coalition to what within the framework that had been agreed donald trump ignored that france has traditional links to iran also has reasonable contacts within the iranian government at the moment so they might well lay the groundwork for this we're still a bit away from that but the fact that donald trump stewed up today surprising everyone and saying yes i'll meet them any time any place no preconditions is

a big surprise particularly as you said given what he was seeing just one week ago this is a huge turnaround that alan fischer. at the white house where the president president trump had set up political running let's switch across to the iranian perspective and same bus driver who has the reaction now from teheran i'm guessing it was a little late in the day or indeed the evening's aim for any reaction but it's not the first time he's made such overtures what's the reaction been before to this well that's that's the right question now donald trump has said over and over again that he is america's man to negotiate a better deal with iran and iranian leaders have said over and over again there's no renegotiating this nuclear deal now what they might be looking at in daylight hours is one word the word unconditional that's that's something new that's a departure from the twelve points that u.s.

secretary of state might pompei o gave iran as conditions that would have to be met before any new talks could take place those came across more like points or conditions of surrender then the beginning of new talks so iranian leaders here one in all do do not believe in the fact that they can trust from or anyone from the trumpet ministration it's not so much a trust gap as it is a gorge and we were sitting across from a senior member of the national security establishment just a few days ago and i asked him point blank do you envision a time when yourself or your colleagues were when you could see yourself sitting across from this american president from his administration and talking about absolutely anything and he said quote never interesting is saying if you're saying they don't want to talk to president trump and bin euclidian if still on the table as alan was pointing out what with other partners is what you think it would take

for the iranians to think ok we can sit around with the americans to discuss this for. no we have had a some reaction from a lower level official from the president's office who tweeted just now and the message is basically that if you believe in the negotiating process if you believe in talks then you have to respect the outcome of those talks and a political deputy from the president's office tweeted that the best way forward is for the united states to lessen hostility a lessen its hostile rhetoric towards iran and rejoin the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal and really that's the position that the iranian government is holding to now in the last few months the value of the currency has dropped more than half so that may change minds here in the top levels of leadership but for now at this stage they are sticking to their position that the nuclear deal was

a done deal and it is not going to be renegotiated in the only way forward is for the united states to change its position lower hostility and rejoin that deal we're grateful for your thought says i especially such a late hour and tear on thanks very much for talking to us. it's been a high voter turnout in zimbabwe's first election without longtime leader rather mcgarvey seventy five percent came out to cast their ballots that's higher than the last vote in twenty saying and sixty percent of those eligible to vote this year were under the age of fifty eight opposition candidate nelson chamisa is the main challenger to current president m.s.n. money gaga he said for decades under mag abbate with polls suggesting a tight race. the poem hasn't passed completely without controversy earlier nelson

chamisa criticized the election commission for him paving the vote in certain urban areas they use chief election observer has promised to look into the impact of the long voting delays we have to see that in the election of the station itself which was in all the cases done. so far we could check it until now we have got compared to notes with other the geisha needs to have not an overview but we have two hundred forty people on the ground to visit to between seven and nine hundred electoral. polling stations but we have to see that in some cases i have seen it personally where people have a two to six hours because of bad. organization and to be have to find out whether this is the capability in certain polling stations of the people who target of the local people or just has a certain pattern because we've seen in the especially in neighborhoods that such

things happened and hopefully that was only. in consistencies in such neighborhoods and not a lot of the mechanism and overall in the country. well michael ware pasmore from the poly district in western zimbabwe. this polling station has now closed as have others all across the country after twelve hours of voting now the counting has begun to clear plastic ballot boxes are rented out and first the ballots are counted in the polling stations before that data is forwarded to the provincial tallying centers opposition say they deployed extra agents to observe this process carefully they've complained of a lack of transparency in the process of some it and irregularities but the electoral commission deny that anything untoward is going on meanwhile the chief european union observer said in some parts of the country the voting was very smooth in other parts of the country totally disorganized he said his teams have

witnessed queues of young people waiting for up to six hours leaving in frustration when they were told they were in the wrong queue he said he also heard reports of people being passed from one district to another to vote in polling stations where they're not meant to possibly an electoral now practice but he said he didn't know to what extent these things that happened and if they were widespread or significant or not that's something that will come out when the e.u. write their reports on this election in the days ahead meanwhile it's going to take a few days before we get the results we won't come out till saturday for the longest so zimbabweans now are waiting for them to find out who will be announced as the winner of this presidential election. well for more on this we're joined by zimbabwean journalists georgina goodman thanks very much for coming back and i just wanted to read what the electoral commission chair priscilla chew gum berthoud it is our view that the high voter turnout is indicative of a sound vote for education and publicity conducted on a receptive

a lecturer interesting the way she describes it but in the end who benefits from a high voter turnout oh i think definitely nelson chamisa and i have to say i've been obviously invested in the elections in zimbabwe for a very long time and watched all of them and every single time i've made a prediction about the result i've been wrong and that's because it's very easy when you're in the heart of it to get carried away and you think that everybody feels like you feel really i have to say though tonight looking at that watching my twitter feed watching people posting photographs of ballots that were put out side polling stations i really hope that this time i'm not wrong i think it's looking like he's doing incredibly well of course that doesn't mean there wasn't there were problems with with the zimbabwe electoral commission with the whole way that the vote was run i think. the votes for the m.d.c.

alliance may be. that they overcome even the rigging and on this nelson chamisa questioning whether there was some kind of rigging what about the count can we be sure that the count is being done transparently and fairly there are enough observers to make sure i understand they count in each individual polling station and then feed the results in. that's one of the major concerns many people are warning that after the sun goes down when polling agents and possibly learn a little bit isolated. and the observers are perhaps no longer around that's when it starts going wrong that's why it's been so vitally important for when they post those first results outside the station the people to capture those on video. on their phones and just get those results in so there's some kind of record but i mean there are all sorts of allegations about the voter's roll that was used for voting today was not the voters role that was given to stakeholders beforehand the dates are completely wrong lots of people that turned up to vote couldn't do so i

mean many many problems with this for if there is somebody contesting their vote do you think that they may that may well cause some kind of protest street protest and i think that if people are denied to mocker see i think it will be very hard to to keep calm people have waited so long for this and if if if it's taken away from them in whichever direction i think that it may be unpleasant and what's the timeline now i mean we are thinking that if we could get an absolute decision absolute result if it's over the fifty percent when is that likely to be clear and if not what happens well they're telling us to say but i think that results may come a we'll start seeing definite results some more by wednesday we may actually have something concrete if there is no definite winner if nobody gets fifty one percent or more then we go to a runoff and that will be the eighth of september so this could be hugely

protracted and interesting georgia governor thanks very much for talking to us now around four million residents of a northern indian state are at risk of losing best citizenship the government has published a register of citizens and to be included people must prove they came to india by twenty fourth of march one thousand nine hundred seventy one and two days before bangladesh declared independence which led to hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing to india many of them settling in assam state officials there are telling the newly dubbed foreigners they won't be deported but security has been stepped up to prevent any violence against them all trying to report. india's tightened security across the northern state of awesome which borders bangladesh thousands of bengali speaking muslims are worried about being sent to detention centers or deported. they sent me to jail without even listening to me. the

state's new registry wants to identify people who entered india after the bangladesh pakistan war in one nine hundred seventy one. the names of four million people from the state's thirty two million residents are missing from the new draft of a citizens' registry is the guardian's very high cigar it is it is very surprising it is unbelievable because they are his nose. are you legal infiltrators in our prime minister nuri and remote his government has pledged through move what it calls foreigners from us some state officials say people can appeal to have their names on the list how could you claim every person whose name has not been included in the draft citizens' list will have many opportunities to object to make a claim on those whose names appeared on the revised registry are overjoyed and relieved at santa and felt really good seeing that the names of my family members have been included in the national registry of citizens those whose names are not

on the registry continue to worry they fear if the uncertainty continues they might face deportation or risk becoming stateless culture dirge on al-jazeera. we have plenty more still to come in the news hour including another round of diplomacy and trying to find a solution to syria's seven year war as government forces push into the southwest plus. understand human in the nicaraguan city of the site where the streets are practically empty and where many people are telling us they are terrified. and then stuart former tennis world number one andy murray returns to action for the first time since pulling out of one of them. six people have died and seven are still unaccounted for as wildfires continue to sweep across the u.s. state of california officials say they've managed to contain about seventeen

percent of the car fire in northern california the largest and deadliest of ninety fires currently burning its child an area the size of detroit forcing more than thirty eight thousand people to flee their homes and. joins us now live from shasta county in california gave gives a sense of what you're seeing where you are. yes seems like the worst of this particular fire here in shasta county is over as you mentioned seventeen to twenty percent contained now but boys you can see now people are sifting through the ashes and you can really get a sense of how bad this fire was you see this power pole you see behind me it just shows how strong the winds were but now look at this this really gives you an idea of the devastation that northern california is now facing after this absolutely terrible brutal fire just blew through this part of the state this was once

a home this is all that is left of it now completely burned to the ground absolutely nothing left firefighters say that this this fire they're still working to get the rest of the eighty percent of it under control but they're saying that this was one of the most intense fires they've ever seen through here because the three things the hot conditions it was over forty degrees celsius a time sometimes forty two degrees celsius very dry conditions in the state of california right now and also very very strong winds that were going on that just made this fire very unpredictable and move very very fast so you get a sense of how bad it was this is still in a mandatory evacuation zone even though they're getting a handle on this fire they still don't want people back in this area trying to sift through the remains of their homes because the fire is still very unpredictable

gave obviously scorched earth why you all that but in elsewhere in the state plenty more fire still burning aven come show. the short answer is no they're not for the most part listen there are according to the cow fire the agency that is in charge of monitoring all these fires and trying to put them out there are seventeen what they call major fires just burning in the state of california right now including most of them in northern california there's one about an hour and a half south of where we're at that at actually blew up over the weekend and is now really out of control and they're evacuating a lot of people from that one there's another big one in central california that shut down you know semi national park that's one of the most famous national parks in all of america it receives four million visitors a year there that park hasn't been shut down because of fire since nineteen ninety

so that gives you an idea they're mostly precautionary they say because they want to keep the park shut down because others fires burning around the park listen this is a terrible fire season not only in the state of california but all in the western united states and firefighters are having a hard time getting their hands around it they say as soon as they get this fire here under control they're going to be out of here and moving on to the next fires because while this area has already been burned out destroyed unfortunately there are dozens if not hundreds of other communities throughout california that are near fires or in the or in the path of fires and the firefighters want to get there to get people evacuated and try to get those fires under control as well as finished by saying everybody here says that while the death toll in this fire was only six tragically six people firefighters here say it's a real miracle that more people did not lose their lives the fire season is just in

its early stages right now but already officials here are saying that this will probably be one of the worst fire seasons in decades not only here in the state of california but in the tire western part of the united states he mentioned as firefighters are exhausted as well that's gabriel a liaison to the joining us from california. syrian government forces are pressing ahead with their offensive in southwest syria despite threats from eisel to kill civilian residents syrian state t.v. says they're attacking ice along two fronts close to the southern border with jordan it comes as another round of diplomatic talks to find a solution to syria's seven year civil war begins and the russian city of sochi or the abdel-hamid. it's a time of the year with the beaches of sochi filled with holiday makers many seemingly oblivious that not too far away diplomatic efforts are underway to solve

the bloodiest conflict of the twenty first century. this is the tenth round of the talks sponsored by russia iran and turkey u.n. special envoys to fund the mistura is also here much has changed underground in syria since the last round in mid may the government has made thirty three tauriel gains recently taking control of the border areas with jordan and israel and the escalation zones in their eyes and the homes region heading up to syrian delegation un ambassador bashar is jaafari looks like a guest of honor unlike his usual stomping grounds this is friendly territory talks of removing president assad or of a transitional government are not on the table here these talks are not only about syria but about solving the conflict while protecting the interests of the many different parties involved in this complicated. the battle for the northern province of is looming is where much of the armed opposition absent here in sochi

has been retreating to this is a great concern for turkey which is likely to seek assurances that the fragile cease fire will continue to be respected by the regime and then there's russia it wants to discuss humanitarian issues such as the resettlement of millions of refugees. there are more elements of sapelo t.m.p. poor eager to return home large numbers are living in neighboring countries about one million in jordan more than a million in lebanon and three and a half million in turkey not to mention those in europe it's also in the interest of europe to help their resettlement by creating the conditions for that we understand the process is supposed to be on a volunteer basis but we must not prevent them from returning or part of a message russia is keen to put out the war in syria is coming to an end i think that depends who you are i mean our side for example has also said he is nearing

a victory if you are an officer. group for example if you're a militant groups like islamic states or. hasn't partaken in peace talks or doesn't necessarily need to agree on any post conflict scenario then i think going to see some conflicts down the line even in the event that there is a formal transition between the political parties and i to that are involved in the peace talks behind closed doors delegates are also focusing on finding common ground for constitutional reforms one of the many issues that have been elusive so far we're doing the so-called standard talks or do you and sponsored ones in geneva without that hamid. to nicaragua now and human rights groups say almost four hundred fifty people have been killed since protests against daniel ortega government began in april they're accusing pro-government paramilitary groups in nicaragua of a kidnapping and murdering people to incite fear a lot in america editor lucia newman joins me now from managua so how is that the

government reacting to this increasing international pressure this yr. yes hello so well the president is on a public relations offensive right now is giving interview print interviews particularly to u.s. media outlets his can particularly concerned it seems by the creasing threats from the trumpet ministration to slap sanctions on the ortega government they are he claims that day he is a victim he is the victim of terrorism and of a plot that is being financed from abroad and the subtext of course of this is that he is accusing the united states of again interfering in nicaraguan affairs in the meantime he has also said that the paramilitary groups that have been widely accused of terrorizing the population of arresting people have of going to take people out of their homes at night and who just yesterday in fact picked up

a journalist beat him badly and then threw him out onto the street while he was covering an opposition demonstration in the nearby city of that and now that all of those people he now says are not working for the opposition but rather are quote freelance policeman working for the government so there you have it we know that these these a paramilitary groups that operate in plain daylight are really terrifying the people especially in the city of monov. which became one of the main areas of opposition to the government before these paramilitary groups and the army went in to crush them earlier about two weeks ago rather so this was our report from my size. masaya the nicaraguan city that put up the fiercest resistance during three months of anti-government protests looks almost empty. the only large group on this normally overcrowded street is part of the latest funeral procession it's been nine days since thirty one year old buyout of the hard again

a body characteristics. when we went. the doctor said shot in the head here and here. heavily armed paramilitary operatives continue to comb the streets of the neighborhood relatives of scores of civilians allegedly killed by pro-government forces say they've been threatened with reprisals as they speak out many have left the country hundreds of activists who manned trenches wanted to oust populus president daniel ortega have gone underground alex had none this is one of them. the lists have been distributed to the paramilitaries we turn safe houses every night but it's only temporary they don't understand is that the more they try to intimidate us the more people they killed disappear or imprison the angrier and more determined we become. perhaps but there's also a great deal of fear into american commission of human rights warns that

a third phase of repression is now under way with selective arrests disappearances and the criminalize ation of those who oppose a president whom they see as a dictator. and let's see if cares about this increasing human rights accusations of human rights abuses. he seems to want to me to turn the argument around he's trying to gauge just how much fallout this is going to bring him and his country remember that this is the second poorest country in all of the americas so passed only by haiti in terms of poverty and that is a lot to say this country can ill afford what is happening right now businesses shut down people staying at home for foreign investment of course is being scared off tourism as well so he is trying to gauge that so in the senate as long as the international community keeps accusing nicaragua or rather the nicaraguan

government of these kind of violations he is going to try to offset them by accusing the opposition of being the one that's really causing it all in fact already antiterrorism trials are beginning they've captured two of the main leaders of the messiah revolt and they are being accused of terrorism and of money laundering and worse in very very speedy trials we understand and more people we expect will be also tried in the next week or so good to get your focus in human there live for us. thank you so still to come in the news hour still no answers as investigators report back on the missing malaysia airlines flight m h three seventy. hundreds of hikers made their way off the mountain they've been trapped since an earthquake on sunday and then sports making history in the mountains the south africa motorcyclist who have become the youngest to conquer the trials of the copper fans.

time since pulling out of wimbledon earlier this month the scot is using this week's washington open as a warm up event the thirty one year old hasn't played on hard courts since march last year and is seen as world ranking dropped to eight hundred and thirty two he had hip surgery in january and says it feels though he's starting his career all over again. there's i mean it's. not where i'd want to be ranking wise but. you know the good thing is that when you're up at the top of the game and it's not easy just to move out one spot. like if i win a couple of matches you know about three hundred four hundred spots in a week which is which is nice so hopefully that can get back up there quickly but it sort of feels like i'm kind of starting from scratch again he'll harmon is a former tennis correspondent at the times in daily mail he says it's unlikely we'll see murray return to his old four. it's very difficult i think for him to be

right back where he was when he won the u.s. open the first u.s. open in two thousand and twelve and then followed it up obviously with two two wimbledon titles and getting to number one in the world as you say eight hundred thirty is a long way from one but is and he was quite right and if he does well in these next two or three. months leading up to the u.s. open then he could actually get back to it to a fine level but whether he can actually ever go back to the andy murray of three or four years ago i tend to worry a little bit about that there was there were murmurings wimbledon time as to whether he would he would ever play again let alone be able to compete at the highest level well he's clearly he's playing again as you say he's got a wildcard into washington but it's a long long way back for him to be able to challenge the likes of djokovic in the dollar at the very top of the game well i think whenever you take the very best out of any competition you're going to you're going to struggle in the the supporters won't believe they are seeing the very best in the game that said djokovic is

performance at wimbledon i think showed that he is more than three quarters of the way back to the the great joke of it a couple of years ago when he was coached by boris becker was winning grand slams for fun and that all of his he won paris for the eleventh time six weeks ago so he's he's he's right there and that's something final with talk of wimbledon was it was absolutely two players at their prime federer while he was very close at wimbledon again but just came up a little short and mari back as you say if those four can be at the top of their game if they can challenge together then i still think we've got three or four years of great tennis out of potentially out of all of them at the same time the men's game needs new faces and that's what we're looking for next we want to see the new challenges coming through. italian discus thrower daisy a sock away need surgery to remove an egg shell from her eye after she was salted and a possible racially motivated attack
