try civic on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. hello and welcome i'm peter told me you're watching the news live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes just a week after warning iran about threatening the u.s. donald trump says he's willing to meet the iranian president without preconditions . i'm ready to meet any time they want to do no preconditions no they want to meet only any time they want. a high turnout for zimbabwe's presidential election but opposition parties crying foul despite being indorsed by robert mugabe. by pro-government paramilitaries in nicaragua are using the threat of kidnap and

murder to quash protests against the president. also ahead left in legal limbo four million people in the state of maine lose their indian citizenship because they can't prove they arrived before nine hundred seventy one. u.s. president donald trump has surprised everyone by saying he'd be willing to meet the iranian president hassan rouhani at any time without preconditions the two men have been locked in an escalating war of words ever since mr trump withdrew the u.s. in the landmark twenty fifty nuclear deal alan fischer from washington. the u.s. president's surprise offer came during a news conference at the white house with italy's prime minister no preconditions no they want to meet only any time they want. anytime they want the u.s. spy elated the deal is signed with iran and its international partners when

president trump announced in may the u.s. was pulling out even though there was no indication iran was in breach this was a horrible one sided deal that should have never ever been made he dug it for months it was a terrible deal and vote to scrap it when he became president his offer to talk with iran's president well threw up many more questions and local conditions means that he's ready to sign on the dotted line so to speak with the iranians so will that be acceptable to the region to the powers in the region to the g.c.c. specifically saudi arabia and the us. i doubt that we've been here before they will be met with fire and fury donald trump very north korea and its leader before agreeing to a meeting and earlier this month he met russian president vladimir putin in all sinking at a top level summit will be interesting to watch the reaction to donald trump's offer when barack obama was in the white house and said he'd be willing to meet the iranian president he was heavily criticized by republicans democrats and by many

right wing commentators who know largely support donald trump. one additional problem might be who would broker a summit with iran or south korea pave the way for the meeting with kim jong il in france might be an option president emanuel mccraw had arjun donald trump not to walk away from the iran deal during a state visit to washington is links with tehran and that might open up the necessary diplomatic channels that are voices senior people in this white house have been very critical of the iranian government and called for it to remove all but this is donald trump's white house if you want something to happen then it could and soon alan fischer al-jazeera at the white house well staying with this has more from tehran. donald trump has said over and over again that he's america's man to negotiate a better deal with iran iranians have repeatedly said there is no ready to go shooting a nuclear deal that they signed three years ago and that is the point it was

reiterated by a political deputy a lower level official in the president's office in a tweet tonight in which he basically made the point that if donald trump believes in talks if you believe the negotiations then he has to appreciate the process of negotiations as well and respect the outcome that's already happened his suggestion to move forward on what he called was a rocky path was for the united states to stop all of its hostile rhetoric towards iran and rejoin the twenty fifteen nuclear deal to join comprehensive plan of action now in daylight hours iranian leaders are expected to take a look at this term unconditional it's very different from the twelve points that was put out by the u.s. secretary of state might prompt a zero in may in which preconditions were laid out for any talks to restart with iran and here it was viewed as tantamount to conditions of surrender so that is something very different and in terms of the north korea model the trump is trying to push there are a few reasons why it is unlikely to work with iran iran is

a regional powerhouse and it is right now on the upswing with military successes in iraq and in syria and we can't forget that iran is it one of the largest oil producing nations in the world so it's not in the same position as north korea and it's also unlikely to see a photo opportunity with the united states with president trump as beneficial for itself domestically. ok let's. see he's the president of the national iranian american council he joins us from washington welcome back to the news do you think this meeting will actually take place. i doubt it but i think it's a shame i think it would be quite a much better situation if the iranians and the americans didn't talk on conditionally but i am afraid at the iranians are not going to take trump's offer here particularly seriously particular michael of the fact that pompey will contradict the trump just about an hour later and gave a very different statement that made it very clear that the united states still has

preconditions so these confused. signals from washington are contradictory signals i think renders wrong quite skeptical about this offer is there a chance here that this is donald trump speaking kind of up the pecking order if you will and this did not come from the state department or do you get the sense that it's very much from the state department and he simply delivering it no i mean when it comes to these things trump is only trumped by i don't think he necessarily even considers having a state department he is the driver of policy but it's nevertheless a problem because the iranians are going to be very skeptical about someone like john bolton in trump's team as well as tom peel and others were today if you look at around the people around trump right now there's hardly anyone that actually has been are on the record favoring diplomacy with iran and particularly not diplomacy that is coming without preconditions on that idea of diplomacy if it is

a pivot towards more diplomacy from a standing start of zero diplomacy it's a big pivot. it is a particular significant hit but i doubt that he's going to be able to be successful with it iran is not north korea you don't have allies of the united states that favor diplomacy with iran said and while they did so with north korea iran has politics plays in north korea does it not to say that they don't have problems at all but they have a one man ruler and it's very difficult for factions to exist and challenge him iran is quite different the iranian president is on instantly under attack both from the left and the brides so it's a very different entity and with a very different history with the united states which makes this period very very difficult what does it tell us about donald trump that he in the past six months has been kind of magnetized towards tough guys let me a puts and he loves me kim jong il and he loves me. he loves me clearly her son rouhani has distinct

lines in the sand and there are tough issues there but donald trump is going all guns blazing towards this relationship he is but i think again one big difference between the iranians and many of the others if you could presence compared to the europeans it didn't carry a particularly high cost to the europeans stroke comes ego and let him have a victory or let him pretend that he had a victory for the iranians it's quite the opposite one of the most difficult things for them is to allow the united states to look good and that is one thing that trump really is seeking and it's something that the iranians have a very hard time giving tree to passy in washington thanks very much. now the media in the philippines is reporting a bombing in lima tan city in the south of the country at least seven people have died in what's believed to be a car bomb we'll have more from our correspondent a little later in the program the dog i'm sure bring us

a bureau in manila jamila get us right up to date what do we know well daryn what we're getting is that the number initial reports came in that six people have died including several members of the philippine army that number is expected to rise we were told today that a bomber was inside the van at a checkpoint just outside. the line when it exploded it's an improvised explosive device and as we speak several members of the philippine army are also on their way there there are still no claims of responsibility but as you know let me pan specifically this area but see that is the birthplace of the. group. together with several outlying islands in the southern philippines have been held back by fighting between. several and the philippine military but over the last few years there has been relative peace in brazil and alone so this is something that is of

a development basically after years of relative peace in the scene and we'll get more on that later daryn when we speak to our sources on the ground general thanks very much. lots more still to come for you here on al-jazeera we live in northern california where wildfires continue to cause havoc. another round of diplomatic talks to end the war in syria as bashar al assad steps up the offensive against isis. and look who's arrived in italy portuguese football superstar for schiano ronaldo begins his new career with events as the story coming up in about thirty minutes. at least six people have died and seven remain unaccounted for as wildfires continue to sweep across northern california officials say they have managed to contain almost twenty percent of the largest blaze the fires have charred an area

the size of detroit destroying hundreds of homes and displacing thousands of families gabriel elizondo joins us live now from reading california gabriel give us a sense of that area we're saying it's the size of detroit but for those of us outside the u.s. it still sounds very very big. it is very big and i want to start by just saying give me the latest information we have that just came in doubt his era that we've confirmed that about one hundred eighty firefighters from australia are expected to come here to california to assist in these firefighting efforts we think they're leaving australia on friday so this is quickly becoming an international effort to fight these fires then going to your question now we are in a neighborhood a subdivision in reading you can kind of get a sense here now of how bad it the destruction is how bad this fire really is here it's moving it moves so fast here and it was just so destructive in its nature and

it's a big fire it's a very big fire and officials say that it is now twenty percent contained but boy you look at this scenes of destruction here this used to be somebody is home here behind me completely gone it's been. basically it is now just only ashes this is still a mandatory evacuation zone here that's why you don't see any people here gives you an idea of how fast even though this they're starting to get containment on this fire how it is still very unpredictable this is one of many fires burning throughout the western united states and also gets the next interesting aspects of this breaking that it will be you've got tens of thousands of people who are living on the event when they are allowed to return home there is nothing to return home too. there is nothing and that's why this is going to be a long recovery process you don't simply rebuild this in

a matter of days weeks or even months the federal government has offered a lot of assistance the governor of the state of california is offering as much assistance as well but listen there are hundreds if not thousands of people that are going to be homeless and a lot of people the good news is this is a very tight knit community so a lot of people that lost their homes are living with friends or family in the meantime but a lot of people have just left this area completely as you can see it's very dark here and that's because the sun is still up it's setting now that the smoke is still so heavy over this region that you don't really see much sun throughout the entire day so even people that have not lost their own a lot of them are leaving this area of reading they say we just need to get out of here because we just don't want to keep breathing this smoke and i'll just conclude by saying again this is one of many fires burning there are seven major fires burning right now just in the state of california including a big one in central california that still has closed the yosemite national park

a national park that usually has four million visitors a year and there are dozens more fires burning throughout the western united states firefighters are saying this probably will be one of the worst fire seasons on record in the western united states in decades gabriel think you know millions of people in the northeastern indian states of are at risk of losing the citizenship the government wants people to prove they came to india before most of the twenty fourth one nine hundred seventy one and that's two days before separate system of bangladesh declared independence from pakistan and some states officials are telling the four million newly stateless people they will be deported but security has been stepped up as a precaution has pulled to judge again. india's tightened security across the northern state of which borders bangladesh. thousands of bengali speaking muslims are worried about being sent to detention centers or deported when will. they send

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 syrian state t.v. is reporting government forces are attacking a soul on two fronts in the yarmouk basin region close to the southern border with jordan they're pressing ahead with the offensive despite threats from eisel to kill civilians on weapons to eisele fighters killed dozens of people and abducted round eighteen more and attacks in so wait a province the armed group is not restricted to a few pockets of territory in the southwest all this comes as another round of diplomatic talks to find a solution to syria's seven year long civil war began in the russian city of sochi what a dolphin meat is that. it's a time of the year when the beaches of sochi are filled with holiday makers many seemingly oblivious that not too far away diplomatic efforts are underway to solve

province of it is looming it's 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 a living in neighboring countries about one million in jordan more than a million in lebanon 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 for. part of a message russia is keen to point out the war in syria is coming to an end i think that depends who you are i mean assad for example has also said he is nearing

a victory if you are an opposition group for example if you or a militant group 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 actors that are involved in the streets 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 where do during the so-called standard talks or do you and sponsored ones in geneva without that help meet sochi. the taliban say their official secretly met a senior u.s. diplomat in council last week to discuss peace initiatives in afghanistan the official described the meeting with alice wells america's top diplomat for south asia as a useful u.s.

donald trump says he's willing to meet the iranian president hassan rouhani at any time without preconditions the two men have been locked in an escalating war of words ever since trump withdrew the u.s. in a landmark twenty fifty nuclear deal. philippines media is reporting a bombing in limited city in the south of the country at least six people have died it was believed to be a car bomb soldiers at a checkpoint were among the dead. and there's been a massive turnout of voters in zimbabwe's first election without a longtime leader robert mugabe seventy five percent of voters cast their ballots that's higher than the last poll in twenty thirty opposition candidate nelson chamisa is the main challenger to the current president emerson the. military level talks are being held right now with the north and south korea the two sides are meeting in the truce spillage panmunjom inside the demilitarized zone they're likely to discuss the disarmament of the border zone and withdrawing troops from the area of mcbride joins us live from the south korean capital so so rob they'll

be trying to put flesh on the bones of what they're discussing. that's absolutely right peter these talks have begun we understand within the past hour or so as you mentioned there it is the second round of high level military talks trying to put in place some of the things that they agreed in this landmark into korean summit back in april the leader of the south korean delegation expressed optimism before taking the south korean delegation into these talks they'll be looking at various ways of easing tensions now along the d.m.z. and in particular the kind of troop levels that we have along the d.m.z. at these outposts the face off against each other between north and south that have been there for decades with troops there and various levels of armaments just the way that they can reduce the levels of troops and also the amount of armory that they have on both sides also looking at the kind of soldiers who face off against each other famously at the true spillage itself staring at each other between the

blue huts and it's one of the most obvious signs of the animosity that is existed between north and south and really in this feeling of good will could and should according to both sides should be reduced in more practical terms peter they'll also be looking at the western end of the d.m.z. and the disputed sea border between north and south which has been the scene of various flashpoints of clashes between north and south the north doesn't recognize the line that separates north and south in the seas between north and south korea so that's one of the other areas they'll be looking at peter and this comes roberts caskets containing the remains of u.s. soldiers killed in the war that that there's a jew to be returned to the u.s. is there a likelihood here of more initiatives goodwill initiatives. it certainly is that that's one of the other things they will be considering there the d.m.z. of course was the final battle fronts between the two sides back in one nine hundred

fifty three when fighting finally stopped and of course with the tensions along the border it's thought that the remains of many soldiers from both sides remain buried along the d.m.z. but be given the tensions there it's just been impossible to try to do any kind of excavation work so it is hoped that they can also agree on possibly excavations there and it comes as you say as the caskets which were returned last week are now in south korea and are being prepared to be sent to hawaii to be returned to the u.s. for forensic examination and also identification which is one of the hopeful signs but it has to be said peter that many observers here will point out the kinds of things that the two sides are looking at are very much the deliverables the things that are relatively easy to achieve the goodwill gestures the whole question of denuclearization when that exactly will start will take place that remains very

much to be decided and the united states as far as they have said is that these sanctions until the denuclearized nation has taken place until it's verifiable those sanctions remain in place peter rob thanks very much. hundreds of hikers in the indonesian island of lombok are making their way done a mountain where they've been trapped since an earthquake on sunday the magnitude six point four quake killed at least sixteen people and destroyed more than a thousand homes on this tourist island step bassam joins us live from on lombok step how did these people end up trapped up the mountain in the first place. well it's the peak season here and i mount jan it's one of the main tourist destinations in indonesia and more than thirteen hundred climbers were on the mountain when the earthquake a very powerful earthquake struck so they basically were very much afraid of course it was a lot of rocks and stones falling down there were some landslides so they basically

waited for everything to become more safe because the world a lot of aftershocks as well by now all the climbers more than thirteen hundred have come down safely most of them came down by themselves out of have been rescued the last three have now been flown in by helicopter because they were so scared they didn't dare to walk down the south anymore one died a young indonesian student who was also climbing in the mountain he died because of falling rocks but imagine more than thirteen hundred on the mountain during the quake and one died so a lot of them have been very very lucky as well so you know step a little basically ok in themselves. so i couldn't really hear your question but at the moment of course rescue is still in full swing here as you probably can see behind me the military is trying to make a situation more safe because a lot of houses are sort of hardly destroyed so it's very dangerous

a lot of people still go in there to get their valuables out so the military is trying to make the situation more safe here that much is very sporadic there are houses there are completely fine but then there are these pockets and their houses are completely destroyed this house for example eighteen climbers were in that house sleeping together with family and children and when it's collapsed a lot of them got fact one malaysia interest has died here unfortunately the others could be rescued or could run outside the thing that they need most here at the moment is water and drinking water they don't have any drinking water and so far fruit and other supplies are coming in but more and more is needed as well step thank you. a rare process to second place china's health ministry to demand action on fake vaccines they're angry that hundreds of thousands of children may have been given the low quality medication it was revealed last week that a drug maker forged data and sole substandard vaccines interim brownlow from

beijing where protests like this are rare but not necessarily unusual in china it seems these protesters were not directly criticizing the leadership or indeed china's communist party we can't verify these images or indeed say when they were taken but according to reports from chinese social media this protest seems to have taken place outside beijing's health ministry on monday morning the protesters were carrying placards one called for basically a complete overhaul of china's pharmaceutical industry another said that there needs to be new legislation to tighten up existing laws governing pharmaceuticals in china another said that those responsible for this latest vaccine scandal have to be punished also on monday the authorities confirmed that fifteen members of staff of the company at the center of the scandal including its chairwoman were now

when f.b.i. agents searched his homes they took inventory of these luxury items thousand dollar suits a twenty one thousand dollars watch and now according to documents filed by the special counsel's office they plan to use this as evidence in his trial arguing in order to pay for them he used secret overseas bank accounts and filed false tax returns the government also says that it will call five yet to be named people to testify and granted immunity in court to force them to talk a somewhat unusual move you could draw that conclusion saying that their evidence without the immunity was so weak and fragile they needed to have something more so they had to give immunity that otherwise. without it wouldn't provide it with there would not be enough evidence on their own to convict because remember the standard in a criminal case is proof beyond a reasonable doubt this will be the first time the special counsel presents evidence in a courtroom in a case related to
