over but did the same time it's not as easy as some people predicted to form a coalition is potential. is weakness in the face of indictment so they try to put him under pressure so in the indictment and it's only as big brush on the time you know reality after ten years in power he's a screwless as he was in two thousand and nine what to do with gaza because one thing is obvious there is no military solution for gaza any any effort to actually resolve. these are the west's tore cities or huge killings on these early side there is no military solution that these early voters could buying these illusions that the nathaniel government organ in government underneath them you know is the solution well the reality is the only solution can take place on the negotiation table not on the far thank you very much for sharing your insight with us from regent university here in london.
4:01 am
now at least thirteen people including two children have died in russia after an airplane made an emergency landing in flames the air flight plane had just taken off from sheremetyevo airport north of los it was bound for more months when a fire broke out pilot's hat turn around and make an emergency landing with the plane engulfed in flames russian media say there were seventy eight people on board joining us now via skype is a qualified aerospace engineer who's head of aviation at the university of west london obviously the cause of all of this is unclear there will be an investigation with analysis of the black box flight recorders but what are your observations this stage. and i've just been in the past hour been looking at the some of the light data that we've been able to get from the radar. and it appears that the aircraft
4:02 am
once it took off was climbing asked the normal the speed of the aircraft and the the rate at which it was gaining altitude was pretty good and about seven minutes into the flight when the aircraft had reached about ten thousand feet altitude the aircraft then began to descend so that indicates that the pilots obviously were aware that something was wrong with the aircraft. they knew that they had to get back to the airport the closest airport is obviously the one that they had departed from. the aircraft and took a couple of right turns and obviously waiting for the approach path to be clear the aircraft then made an emergency landing and i think it's clear from the pictures the there was a fire on board. and it appears that once the aircraft arrived our safety on the runway the pilots try to get the aircraft evacuated as quickly as possible.
4:03 am
again if you look at the pictures the aircraft is pretty much from fire it was the back of the aircraft which meant that probably the only doors available for the passengers to evacuate were to as the front of the aircraft and you can see in actually some of the videos the the passengers were evacuating from the front of the aircraft and that would have been a fairly quick process. and usually what happens is that the flight crew other the last ones to evacuate right so many of those seventy eight passengers on board have been evacuated despite a number of fatalities what about the plane itself it was a sukhoi superjet what can you tell us about this particular model. well it's a horse of a jet is a russian manufactured aircraft it's a it's a fairly small aircraft it's got a capacity of less than one hundred passengers and crew is a twin engined aircraft this particular aircraft had been manufactured i think in
4:04 am
two thousand and seventeen and has come into service with air flow in two thousand and eighteen so a relatively new here even the these aircraft had a. kind of a life design life about twenty five thirty years so it's a relatively new aircraft and it's is an aircraft that has clocked up many hours with with about thirteen different operations around the world it's mostly used by ariff a lot and it's also an aircraft that has been certified for years by the european aviation safety agency which demonstrates that yasser and the european union were comfortable with the safety of the aircraft and for that reason certified it thank you very much an empire and pretty shape your thoughts on this joining us. without is there at live from london more still ahead donald trump announces a sharp jump in tariffs on chinese goods saying trade negotiations are going too slowly and then outcry in iraq as the government banned several popular online

4:08 am
a russian aeroflot plane was forced to make an emergency landing in moscow when it caught fire just after taking off. now a volunteer with the white helmets is one of the latest people to be killed in rebel held northwest syria which continues to be bombed by government forces and russian warplanes the syrian civil defense group says the man died in as strike on a village an adlib province which has been under attack for six successive days and on the ground hospital has also been hit by an asteroid and its house of service the upsurge in violence comes despite a russian turkish deal to stave off a government offensive thousands of people have been killed and thousands have fled the bombing. the un's wild food program says it's gained access to vital food aid at the red sea mills in yemen's port city of data a team will now remain at the grain storage site in preparation for the milling and eventual distribution of wheat mission have been delayed for security reasons with the u.n.
4:09 am
agency accusing his the rebels of blocking access to the site fifty one thousand tons of weight have been stored at a warehouse to feed millions of people the mill is situated in the southern part of the data city and that is right next to a front line area which is hose the big challenge to us to gain access we must have unimpeded access to this mill so that we can get this who'd out and get it to the people who need it most and believe that the food assistance that's been provided. last year and continuing this year has been critical in terms of helping to avert a famine and now we are scaling up to twelve million people a month so every bit of green that we can get and support is vitally needed at this time. so our military council says it will publish a comprehensive plan for the country's transition towards democracy on monday it
4:10 am
also says it will continue to negotiate with the opposition of the house and move saddam forward talks between both sides followed weeks of protests lining in the media transition to civilian government meanwhile ousted president a lot of bashir has reportedly been questioned of a suspect in money laundering and tera financing. now u.s. president will trump is stepping up the pressure on china to reach a long sought trade deal announcing he will increase u.s. tariffs on certain chinese goods trumpet previously delayed the tariff increases a year in the year citing productive talks with beijing sunday's announcement caused doubt on expectations that china and the u.s. were closing in on a deal to end a months long trade war that has slowed global growth and disrupted the markets so let's get more now from john hendren in washington what's prompted this latest move john. well merriam it's a rainy sunday afternoon here in washington d.c. reporters at the white house have been told there will be no more official events
4:11 am
so as he often does the president has taken to twitter he's tweeted saying that the special counsel robert mueller should not testify before congress he tweeted one time just to correct the spelling of the word kentucky in a critique of the kentucky derby horse race but he made substantive news when he tweeted about china trade and he said he's going to raise those tariffs as you said from ten percent to twenty five percent on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese goods and he's going to initiate new tariffs on three hundred twenty five billion dollars of goods that aren't taxed right now he says he's doing that because he's in the middle of negotiations with the chinese about ending those tariffs in a larger trade deal and he says it's moving too slowly on your tweet he said the trade deal with china continues but too slowly as they attempt to negotiate this is clearly his effort to shut down the chinese efforts to renegotiate that agreement china's top negotiator will be in washington d.c.
4:12 am
this week hopefully both sides say coming to a deal on this but the president is not happy with that and so this is his effort to pressure the chinese to come to an agreement right but i suppose it could backfire fire off a when you've got these high level negotiations going on in either force an agreement or it could actually do there are of us and the chinese might walk away. that's right donald trump likes to be known as unpredictable in these kinds of negotiations however the white house spokeswoman sara sander says she does believe that they will come to an agreement and that paying of china and trump will come together and sign that agreement between the two of them but trump is trying to make the point that the u.s. is not under a lot of pressure here he says that these tariffs payments are partially. sponsible for our great economic results that's a quote on twitter in fact that's not really how it works it's not the chinese who
4:13 am
pay the tariffs it is the american companies that are importing these chinese goods and using it so general motors for instance paid a billion dollars in tariffs over the past year so most economists would say that a trade war like this is healthier this sooner it can and whether that happens we may know at the end of the week mary thank you very much with the latest from washington john hendren. site kind is now known to have killed more than forty people off the battering first india and then on the dash a huge cleanup operation is underway in india's addition state which was particularly badly hit scott either reports from piri where there's growing concern about what lies ahead for the hundreds of thousands left homeless this. sanyo ronnie part nyuk has lived in putting for thirty years making a living selling souvenirs to tourists visiting this hindu holy city when cycled funny slammed ashore for life changed forever a muslim but good to live because we lost everything we don't have money to build

a teenager recently committed suicide after he was influenced by the game. the other thoughtfully we should clear that up a year when we analyzed the iraqi personality we find that consecutive wars and violence have traumatized and shape that iraqi psychology in general to be more receptive and prone to aggression confrontation and trauma due to these harsh variables and dynamic that is why these games provide a subconscious venting platform. shops are full of the games merchandise school computer businesses are doing a roaring trade for many gamers their own law in life offers an escape from the challenges of growing up in iraq if there is a lot they wish when they play gamers are able to break away from and forget the bad situations they are living in really gauges especially the older ones say the government should be doing more to eradicate the causes of real violence in iraq ali and his friends to say they are old enough to know what's right and what's

4:22 am
see. july twenty fifth i believe was the local scene. after more than a decade of on and off negotiations was reach a nuclear deal with iran together with our allies and partners we reached a historic understanding with iran which it fully implemented will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon and make our country our allies and our world safer the signatories of the joint comprehensive kind of action saw it as an opportunity a deal under which iran agreed to eliminate its stockpile of enriched uranium and reduce centrifuges in return all u.n.
4:23 am
security council and multilateral sanctions were lifted. but not everyone was happy this deal would give an unreformed unrepentant and far richer terrorist regime the capacity to produce many nuclear bombs in fact an entire nuclear arsenal with the means to deliver. what a stunning historic mistake the campaign against the so-called iran nuclear deal succeeded when donald trump moved into the white house i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal iran insists it will remain in the nuclear deal and so did other signatories such as france germany and britain. the white house's classification of iran's revolutionary guards as terrorists there has responded with labeling u.s. troops in the middle east as terrorists but under unilateral u.s. sanctions iran's economy is struggling its influence in the region from syria to
4:24 am
yemen is under the spotlight so how will iran cope with a crisis affecting everyone in the country the iranian foreign minister mohammad javad zarif talks to out of there. let's begin with the latest legislation that has come out. about declaring u.s. forces in the middle east as terrorists describe to us why do you think that is important and what will that achieve. well it's not a measure that we have taken proactively in fact it was a reaction to a decision by the united states by the administration to declare. r r g c the stomach evolutionary court corpse as a terrorist organization as you know destroy organization has been in the forefront of fighting terrorism in iraq and in syria and if understand but unfortunately because of their own interest and because of the fact that
4:25 am
a few in our region and and in the united states want to a state up trouble in this region as you know it netanyahu said in his hebrew tweet that this was on his suggestion that president trump put the d.r.g. on the f.t. old list so this was a decision by the united states handed down in the iranian parliament and before that iran's national security council simply took a measure in response to this action i ask you this question because so far what you have been telling the world is that iran is not looking for confrontation iran does not want to escalate tensions but would measures like this do you think that is coming from a nation which wants to deescalate but certainly iran does not want confrontation and escalation but we have not lived seven thousand years by escaping
4:26 am
from those who want to pull the us we have been very clear that we have no interest in escalation we have been clear that persian gulf and the strait to hold most is our lifeline we depend on them for our livelihood and we want them safe secure and free for navigation of all countries including iran but that also comes when some of the generals have made remarks saying that if iran. meanwhile doesn't pass through state of hormones no one else's well it's up to the united states to make that decision whether it wants to make a positive way that is on our doorsteps unsafe for us we were not allowed to have on made the second the sanctions waiver that the united states had given to oil importing countries who are doing business in iran is expiring the strait of hormuz is going to be
4:27 am
a point of contention what is your plan then we believe that the united states cannot take any coercive measure in the persian gulf or industry to most if it tries to take course of measures it will be reciprocated by iran but that i don't think is in the cards we will continue to sell our oil. and we will see customers and we will always remember those who worked with us during times of difficulty here all production has come down from in two thousand seven hundred two and half million barrels to somewhere between one point seed one point nine million barrels now and it is having an impact on the iranian economy so eighty percent of your exports are from hydrocarbons the sanctions you can call them illegal but are having an impact on iran and that is why we call it economic terrorism because as i have said publicly including secretary pompei though and others they want to put pressure on the iranian people in order to change
4:28 am
a policy that is very the united states has acted for forty years and particularly since president from came to office it was elated a commitment by another us president president obama and international relations you consider a government concentration of the previous government last i heard there was no revolution in the united states people just got i mean the electoral college. pointers president trump as the elected president of the united states so that's all if that's all that happened in the united states what is important is that these sanctions are not only equal and have no legal effect not no economic effect but they also won't have any political effect the success or failure of these sanctions is going to be who buy their on the oil so we are talking about countries such as china and india who are your major oil importers are they going to continue
4:29 am
to buy any no two points first of all these countries have declared that they do not recognize u.s. sanctions for. their private companies may because of u.s. corage and because of the heavy hand that the united states is exercising on these issues may find it just prudent for themselves in the short term and i don't think it's prudent for anybody in the medium and long term to decrease but that doesn't mean that the governments agree and the governments have announced that they do not recognize what is your plan how are you going to make sure that the people of iran don't feel the crunch that the united states wants to well first of all we will continue to engage with our partners we have developed various schemes one of them will be in the long run. to the detriment of the united states and i think that is
4:30 am
becoming increasingly popular and that is not to use dollars for your transactions a second is an instrument that we are developing with the europeans. we have already developed with our neighbors and we have developed them with the chinese and that is not to engage in transfer of money across the borders which is very the united states would step in and try and for would try to twist the arms of people who are engaged in it eagerly and on lawfully i believe the united states is not serving us interests more than the united states it's serving is really interest and unfortunately there are a couple of people in out of reach who have aligned themselves with this really interests this is a capital of a small group which i have called them to between both and bibi netanyahu been ziad and been silent man who are pushing. the united states and president
4:31 am
trump into conflict and into disastrous situations and they will be deferred just to suffer the consequences unfortunately what do you mean they will be the first to suffer the consequences and does that mean that iran is going to retaliate and does that mean there's going to more instability in the region stability in this region is why you thought for us we want to have good relations with all our neighbors. with everybody in the g.c.c. we have proved that through our assistance to qatar when qatar was being strangulated by some of the members of the b. team. and we will stand by our friends in the region we have stood by turkey when they were under could just be stood by iraqi kurdistan where they were being faced with the attack we will always stand for stability in the streets
4:32 am
we love nothing more than having excellent relations with saudi arabia united arab emirates and every other member of the g.c.c. this is our hope our expectation but there are requirements we need to end this bloodshed in yemen before we go into the region let's talk about. what you've described so far it seems to feel that iran is the victim here but there is a consensus amongst many countries in the region and in the united states. that iran is responsible for what is happening the united states insists that it is the nuclear deal which favored iran your neighbors insist that it is meddling in internal affairs of other countries but the ditch they make and the basis for imposing these sanctions and coming out against iran do you not think that there is any credence to those claims first of all there is no consensus to consensus in the
4:33 am
international community is that the united states and those neighbors that you talked about are in fact meddling in the affairs of others look at what's happening in north africa look at what's happening in elsewhere so it's not a any consensus but that is exactly the problem a couple of countries in our region. plus israel did not like the nuclear deal from the very beginning the rest of the international community believe that it is a unique historic achievement for diplomacy of course if you had other intentions if you wanted to securitize iran if you wanted to portray iran as a threat which it wasn't then that would have been different and you did not like the nuclear deal and some in our region where of that nature but just look at history who supported saddam hussein who when it invaded iraq
4:34 am
who supported the taliban when they took over on the stuff. who supported al kut who supported isis who supported nasir who is now interfering in libya who is now interfering in the sudan just look at the realities on the ground is it iran it was iran who killed who tried to suffocate qatar who tried to wage a coup in turkey who dismembered a journalist who beheaded thirty seven individuals and crucified one of them in the street just look at the realities on the ground you don't need to look at the you know and do you know you don't need to look at. allegations just look at the realities on the ground who came to the support of the kuwaitis who came to the support of the qataris when they were being suffocated who went to the support of iraq yes who went to the support of iraq kurds when when isis was
4:35 am
a their doorsteps so look at who is responsible for all the maladies and now we get to israel who is an exciting other countries territories who is developing nuclear weapons who is destroying villages who is on a large scale violating the basic rights of the palestinian people who is the aggressor that has invaded everybody in the region from its attack on iraq nuclear facility in iraq to its daily bombardments of syria jordan palestine lebanon to just look at the history. and they are pushing this war mongering policy on everybody everybody will be a victim of it the united states is not is not going to make any gains president trump said that the united states spent seven trillion dollars in our region and
4:36 am
destroyed our region and got a lot of american blood on its hand because of the fact that the americans died in this region without any reason without any purpose but they say that those americans more than four hundred of them died clear at the hands of g.c. and its affiliates militias another it's a baseless lie they made the same allegations when they wanted to invade iraq the same group the same group of people who made all those allegations and who got the united states and our region into a terrible costly war that has only given rise to terrorism are the ones who are making these allegations these are a bunch of lies that have no basis in reality it is in fact the united states armed forces that have killed the iranians they have shot down an iranian civil killing two hundred ninety passengers they paid compensations for that it shows that even
4:37 am
accepted responsibility for that but is that the threat that now there is ground that is being laid for a military confrontation with iran there are people who are planning for that there are people who are profiting for that so we are those people became you see that they are very worried. to bolton has called for war it's not that i'm inferring from anything he said that he had an article in twenty fifteen to prevent an iran bomb bomb iran that's the title of his article in the new york times only four years ago that. last year he asked the pentagon to develop plans for attacking iran these are realities on the ground if you are saying that this is all that is being planned against iran what is iran's plan that well our plan is to continue to live proudly peacefully and to work for progress and
4:38 am
peace and dialogue in this region i have suggested a regional dialogue for countries in our region need to get together countries in the persian gulf can only rely rely on them says we cannot rely on foreigners we need to rely on on ourselves and iran is ready to sign non-aggression treaty with every single country in the persian gulf every single country let's come to the achievements of iranian forces and or your administration now you can actually hop in a car into iran you could cross over and you would be protected by iranian forces then you cross over into iraq forces which are backed like the house to shabby and funded many of these militias by iran then you cross over into syria again forces which are backed by iran and you go all the way up to hezbollah territory in lebanon are you proud of that achievement i actually am proud of the fact that we
4:39 am
can go to these places without any force. president trump has more forces in any of these countries and iran has ever had and he is entering into one of his garrisons at night and leaving at night i had the opportunity and the privilege of going to iraq going to five cities without any military presence without any serious i mean beyond the normal security arrangements go to the meetings goes to the business centers go to the shrines talk to the people our president went to iraq and went to the cities the other day i was in the mask as i walked in the bus our central bazaar of the massacres as i was going to historic places and to the shrines so what you do have troops in syria the no no we don't have what is what is important is the united states has more people with boots on
4:40 am
the ground in syria in iraq and in lebanon and it does not have the feeling of security it is because it has made the wrong choices it has. connected itself to wrong people mostly to people who violate the rights of the people mostly to people who engage in acts of terrorism i go to air in iraq you kurdistan i go to damascus i go to beirut i go to carrabelle i go to niger i go to various iraqi cities and i feel at home not because we have troops there but because because we have strong ones of friendship and brotherhood with the people there as i feel with the people in doha i feel with the people even in saudi arabia i don't have any trouble walking in the streets of saudi arabia i don't have any trouble walking in the streets of the united arab emirates because we have strong bonds of brotherhood i hope the two governments in saudi arabia and in the united arab emirates come to their senses and understand that we are neighbors forever that the united states
4:41 am
only wants to milk them but you do realize that this is. this is something which makes your neighbors nervous because as you said you would obviously you're won't go into the details of how these militias have been operating and not just the iranian military itself but but groups that it supports have been operating in iraq against eisel with the with the iraqi take against i sadly only charles our government and with the with the syrian group with the syrian government what we are doing in lebanon in syria in iraq elsewhere we work with the government on the invitation of the government this is our principle we help the iraqi kurds against isis or we help the iraqi central government against isis we helped help the syrian government against isis we helped the lebanese government against isis this is our policy which is consistent consistency
4:42 am
is the focus of our policy we run a policy that is for stability that is why we support the government of qatar we reject any a pressure on the government of qatar as we reject any pressure on the government of turkey but that's the same argument that the saudis make for intervening in yemen they are there on the request of the legitimate government which the who these overthrew and who iran supplied last i checked the president the former president of yemen. we drew from this in spite of the request made by many then he was reinstalled by saudi arabia we cannot change history these are facts of history but in yemen since day one we called for a ceasefire you remember our four point peace plan ceasefire. immediate humanitarian assistance and inclusive. among gay minis and an inclusive
4:43 am
government this has been the basis of iran's policy we requested the ceasefire be a ceasefire we used our influence in yemen to get a cease fire unfortunately saudi arabia and the u.a.e. believe that they can make a quick quick tree and for the past almost fourteen months they have used all these huge weapons that they're getting from the united states sixty seven billion dollars worth of weapons were purchased by saudi arabia twenty two billion dollars worth of weapons purchased by the united arab emirates against a group of people who hardly have anything to eat and they haven't been able to succeed it means that trying to impose anybody's veil on the population of another country will not work if it could work if military intervention could do work
4:44 am
it sure worked in yemen it doesn't so if they are accusing us of intervening militarily elsewhere they should see why they are not succeeding in yemen with all the military hardware that they have been all the support that they're getting from it means that they are making a mistake with not intervening militarily anywhere because military intervention is doomed to fade as they are fading in yemen but what about syria i would say is in syria a clear contradiction of or you know that you know we are easy troops don't care if we did not intervene militarily that we were asked to send viruses in order to fight a terrorist organization our planes are not bombing syria. look at the reality we are there fighting alongside the people of syria the government of syria to fight against foreign sponsored terrorist organizations saudi planes
4:45 am
are bombing yemen iraqi planes are bombing q.m. and we ask them as brothers as neighbors this policy will not get them anywhere our arms are open to them we want to have peace with everybody in this region and we want everybody in this region to have peace with each other that is why we rejected pressure on qatar and we called for dialogue we reject pressure on any country we would reject any pressure on saudi arabia for that matter we believe that all our countries in this region should work together our destiny is intertwined we cannot distance ourselves from each other in this region let's come back to iran. you resigned in february saying there were shortcomings what were there and though i resigned in february because pictures were published in certain papers in iran and on television that question the integrity of my office and
4:46 am
question the authority of the foreign minister in conducting foreign policy because i was trying not to be present in an important meeting it was made clear by everybody the following day that that was not intentional and i did not see any reason to continue to insist on my resignation particularly after the president rejected my resignation so the word as clear as it should for the word on the grapevine was that it was because of general hossam silly money bringing in president bashar assad and your office not being involved so clearly my office was involved we were not informed of the exact details of the arrival and that is understandable the only thing that was not understandable was broadcasting pictures without my presence in it and it was it was rectified later and i think we've been working very well and generously money and i have been working very well for the past twenty five years and i don't think this will have any will put any dent in our friendship but you do realize that is something that your critics will take and
4:47 am
say that like i'll quote mike pompei are saying that he called you in in his words quote one of the front men of the car apologist mafia and we know that hyundai makes all final decisions this is what they used to criticize you for saying that it is somebody else who is pulling the strings and this democracy is just part of an american president once the buck stops here in every country somebody makes a final decision but there is a democratic i don't know whether it's a pump a is a very happy with his some of his allies in the region who don't know the meaning of election and who behead individuals and take their heads in a crucified very around the streets. i mean i know i know his definition of democracy and it stinks are you happy so far with the government that you've run your your party has run with president rouhani in the chair have you achieved what you wanted to achieve for the people of iraq we have been under tremendous pressure
4:48 am
from outside. dealing with that so i don't i don't think anybody in the current administration in iran is very happy with the current situation in iraq but we know that we have done our best and we will continue to do our best and we will continue to correct our mistakes finally the next time we meet i mean going to meet jawad zarif the diplomat or are we going to meet a candidate running for president who use muto words only for the purpose of. the foreign minister of the islamic republic of iran thank you very much for talking to others there.

4:52 am
for a return to the relative calm but it prevailed says the end of the last escalation in early april is to understand that the sick this equation will not war if they continue to kill people or they expect people to keep silent or for to keep silence for the crime of israel though i think israel is being the prize and they will understand very clearly that if the target people people will target if it were so there's a reason escalations have been contained thanks in part to un of the gyptian mediation and the revealing sense that neither side really wanted a full descent into war this round though is already more dangerous with israeli civilian casualties on one side and targeted killings of hamas commanders on the other both sides have reasons to fight on as well as step back a force of al-jazeera on the israel gaza border at least thirteen people including two children have died in russia after a plane made an emergency landing in flames the air a flight jet had just taken off from sheremetyevo airport north of moscow was bound
