every. this is al jazeera. hello i'm adrian for the game this is the news live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes iran announces that it will increase production of low level uranium but also tells the u.s. it will only talk when the time is right. as well as president calls for early elections and the opposition led national assembly. a welcome home of the democratic republic of congo but not everyone's happy to see a popular politician return from exile plus. i'm wayne hay in bangkok with

thailand's lower house of parliament to sit to convene for the 1st time since an election in much but we'll tell you why it's the military that remains in control. iran's president hassan rouhani has said that he favors diplomacy but that the current situation isn't suitable for talks with the u.s. on monday iran announced that it has quadrupled the rate of production of low enriched uranium this comes a week to tehran said that it was ending some of its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal let's go live now to washington d.c. out to serious political hay and is there for us patty it seemed as though the president was sending a new message on iran what will he make of president rouhani is latest comments. well he'll probably take it as some sort of rebuke the president doesn't like to be

told no he tends to get very vocal when it comes to that but you know he had said that it's probably a good thing that the iranians are confused because if there's been one constant here it's been that the white house is just very inconsistent in its messaging this every day it seems there's a different line the intent of the intelligence and that continued in just the last few hours. leaving the white house president donald trump says he's willing to talk to iran's leaders when they are ready well seemingly downplaying a potential threat iran would be making a very big mistake if they did it if they do something it will be met with great force but we have no indication that they will. but his administration just weeks earlier had said it had intelligence that he ran could attack u.s. forces or its allies sending in an aircraft carrier to the gulf earlier than planned along with bombers and missiles even evacuating some of its diplomatic personnel from iraq perhaps in response iran announced monday it's quadrupled its

production of enriched uranium still at a much lower level that could be used for a weapon the capacity of the country's enriched productive through some technical modifications has been increased by nearly 4 times without any new changes or centrifuges the design information related to this has been submitted to the international atomic energy agency and still some analysts say there are signs of a potential diplomatic breakthrough and there is an urgency for diplomacy and maybe the signs in terms of the omani foreign minister traveling today to iran and discussing some regional issues and oman has played a kind of a mediating role between the u.s. and iran in the past so maybe this is a good sign the u.s. president has sent mixed messages on iran but this is a man who prides himself on making deals and so far he's been able to find one in

his foreign policy now saying he's ready to talk if you runs leaders only ask patty calling al-jazeera washington iran is urging the u.n. secretary general to help facilitate a diplomatic dialogue to ease what it called the alarming security situation in the gulf region diplomatic as a james bays is following those developments at the united nations. the less so which. been sent to the current president of the un security council indonesia and to the un secretary general antonio good terrorist talks about the alarming security situation in the gulf it doesn't mention the u.s. by name but it says currently in action is creating a lose lose situation instead it's proposing using a un security council resolution for more than 30 years ago to create a new mechanism for talks between the gulf states and iran the proposal by iranian ambassador tart proviron she is one that shows iran is pursuing

diplomacy is trying to be reasonable at the same time though coming up with a procedure that would cut the u.s. out of any negotiations it has already been welcomed by the russian ambassador but we've put the support of the need to do to give him something good version of the regional security of addiction which would eventually wolf in the larger 4 months but the immediate need to do the birth of a new verb form where to discuss virginal issues ambassador added he thought it was likely the security council would talk about the current tension between iran and the u.s. in the near future earlier this month president rouhani announced iran's partial withdrawal from the nuclear deal saying that it would give an appropriate response to any kind of aggression donald trump responded by suggesting that what iran

should be doing is calling me sitting down we can make a fair deal he says as reports swirled that the u.s. was considering sending 120000 troops to the middle east iran's supreme leader tried to calm tensions saying that iran wouldn't go to war with the u.s. but after washington ordered all non-essential government staff to leave iraq the new head of iran's river. reguard talked of a full scale confrontation with quote the enemy on thursday iran's foreign minister defended teheran's pull out of the nuclear deal saying that it exercised maximum restraint against an acceptable escalation from the u.s. let's talk to jeff stacy he's a former state department official in the a bomb a ministration he's live with us from washington sees d.c. jeff great to have you with us if you think it's highly likely that iran is misperceiving american intentions to these latest statements by president rouhani fit with that. i'm afraid so because of course

a lot of these statements and indeed the movements on enrichment are for domestic consumption at least that's what we hope is hope that this is a bluff because of course iran understandably needs to save some face here they've got hardliners in the is ascendancy and they are getting mixed messages out of washington donald trump ought to really make good on his intentions the latest ones which seem to say he really does actually want to deal and this is a time when iran may underestimate the likelihood of the u.s. striking them so what we've seen in iraq with the firing on the embassy is an example of this and the in richmond could even be a thicker red line that they're crossing right now iran needs to be very careful and really they ought to just call him up because this is the kind of guy who actually will undercut everything to get

a deal so just how dangerous is the situation right now if iran is misperceiving the situation what could the consequences be. i mean everything we're talking about a far more dangerous 2nd phase of this simmering crisis where misperception is rife intentions are basically kind of obscure and not understood by all sides and fact even the communicators are not very good at giving their messages so with the assets that are in theater and the tensions that are high the mobilization that is up we're talking about any kind of mistake or misperception could lead to an exchange or 2 and then rapidly escalate escalate into a full out contentious exchange of warfare that actually would become just that so on the word in full under want circumstances would iran of the u.s. sit down for talks it's obvious from what president rouhani has been saying that

iran is unwilling to sit down with a gun at its head well they need to say that and that's understandable that's for public consumption but privately i believe that they're working hard on actually setting something up and so that's what we see with switzerland and oman and these sorts of things and that the key is really this remember a pump a 0 put out all those demands that iran of course would never meet there's just not a snowball's chance in hell but trump is already completely contradicted that he's basically willing to sit down without any of those terms even being met that's what iran should take advantage of behind the scenes they can do the public displays as they need to but privately they can actually get somewhere and then we can lower tensions for real and with this setting something up that you talk about does iran's appeal to the u.n. secor secretary general of dialogue fit into that. well it does because

pressure from all quarters selves from the congress from the u.s. foreign policy establishment from the media and obviously from the un that's just one more actor saying look let's lower tensions let's talk instead of shoot and that will be helpful but russia has just arrived and well i'm surprised they're a little late so they should you know according to what putin has been up to lately they should have intervened weeks ago but they could still pull this off pull the game entirely away from the u.s. and the west and basically them were really in a you know what kind of show precisely when we have a president here who seems to admire russia when they're playing both sides of the coin russia could steal it from him in an instant and all of a sudden iran is enriching and then the tensions go way up jeffrey could still to many thanks do just say see. talks will continue on tuesday between sudan's military and protest leaders after breaking out for

a 2nd day the issue of who should lead the new governing body remains a key sticking point protesters say that they will keep demonstrating on the streets of khartoum until the civilian led government is installed talks between the 2 sides were halted for 3 days while demonstrators removed roadblocks that they've put up in the capital. good reports from. people in front of the army headquarters in sudan's capital hard to him say that they're disappointed that the opposition coalition is the declaration of freedom and change and the transitional military council could not reach a deal yet again now the 2 sides could not agree on the sovereign presidential council the military council has been saying that it wants to be the one chairing that body and it wants either equal representation or military majority and that presidential council but the opposition coalition are saying that if that happens and if they agree to it then the transitional period will be led by the military and that's not something that they or the protesters in front of the army headquarters are asking for they're saying that it should be led by civilians and

should have a civilian majority so that's one thing the 2 sides could not agree on there's also the issue of the role now the opposition coalition wanted to have a ceremonial role with oversight from the legislative assembly which it will have 2 thirds of the seat but the military council is saying that it wanted to be the one that presidential council to be the one having oversight over the transitional period so that point of contention and the fact that the 2 sides could not reach a deal shows that a once again they have a lot of things to talk about as thousands in front of the army headquarters to continue with this that and they say they've already listened to the military council and that they remove the roadblocks and they've offered some concessions so they want to see what comes next and they also say they're waiting for the opposition coalition to decide what comes next as well and if there should be a next escalation to try to put pressure on the military council or whether they should wait for further talks which may produce results or may not present produce results with the news from a serious thought. on the program. south africa's

a dozen assembly members from the opposition have been stripped of legislative immunity in recent weeks and face charges of treason and subversion representatives of the opposition leader who held talks with the us where future military cooperation was discussed a lesson america at its reports from caracas. president. had said many many times over the last few months that he is willing in fact that he wants to bring forward elections for the national assembly the only institution that he does not control so that in and of itself is not new what's new is the context there have been exploratory talks between the government and the opposition of. the opposition in norway nothing supposedly had come of this but now president says he is willing to quote speak to the devil if that will bring peace now the devil of course that he is referring to is one of the opposition leader but it's not clear

that wants to talk to him at least about that because he has put 3 or maybe 3 demands which he says are not negotiable and that is for to resign for there to be a transition government and for elections to be held but not just for the national assembly but for all of the institutions in the country starting with the presidency so it's not clear at all whether this latest suggestion is really going to fly or the way it whether it will work at all to try to unlock this deadlock south africa's former president jacob zuma appeared in court as he attempts to get pending corruption charges against him dropped despite the severity of the charges he danced in front of supporters outside the courthouse his 90 year presidency ended in $28.00 team he was forced to resign by his ruling african national congress party. i made allegations that he received payments for a warship contract from a french company in the late 1990 s. sad to see us familiar miller reports. jacob zuma as message is

take them where they want to go on a regular basis and all of this happens is those companies have been hit by tariffs the trumpet administration has said on steel and other metals that has cost ford alone about a $1000000000.00 over the past year and to put that in perspective the company is saving about $600000000.00 with the cuts that it is announced on monday that doesn't get you quite to the $1000000000.00 the company has paid in terrorist for importing the metals it needs to make those cars so the tariffs have been bad news on top of a rough year for the automakers the city of chicago is sworn in its 1st african-american female lori lightfoot is also the city's 1st openly gay leda the former federal prosecutor has vowed to fight chicago's high crime rates the city last saw more murders the new york and los angeles combined with 5602 in support of the public safety was no longer a commodity only available to the wealthy. hundreds of u.s.

lawmakers have sent a letter to the white house urging the trumpet ministration not to pull out of syria. a bipartisan plea is that the united states should remain engaged in the conflict sizing deep concerns and threats on regional allies democrats and republicans a bit worried about the administration's foreign policy of the president donald trump decided to pull u.s. troops from syria in december let's talk to john jones about this he's a u.s. foreign policy expert joins us now live from washington d.c. . will it make a blind bit of just difference will the president take any notice definitely adrian this letter was a strike across the bow really sending a message that congress both a bipartisan and by cameral fashion was just about united in stating that there needs to be a clear well defined policy as it pertains to syria there's tremendous

concern across the house and senate and probably within some elements of the administration is well that you have open spaces within syria that can be taken over by the likes of isis hezbollah or factions groups loyal to iran or russia and so what leaders in the house and senate again both republican and democrat are saying is that we have to know exactly what the policy and posture of the united states is going to be in the coming days and months as it pertains to syria the stakes are just too high when you look at the security issues on the ground when you look at u.s. national security interests that have to be protected and of course threats that are present in so far as threats to israel's number one ally in the region israel

so a shot across the bow for the president but what's he likely to do about it. well i think the president at the end of the day is very cognizant of u.s. public opinion u.s. public opinion right now is that look many are wary of additional wars and additional commitments by u.s. troops in the region however there seems to be a message taking hold that. many people don't know what they are not are unaware of what the policy actually is in syria and i think the president is going to be sensitive to that at least those around him and if the policy is not defined in the mission is not the find as well and most importantly the members who lead this letter in the house and the senate they come from the committees of

jurisdiction that provide the authorizing role for u.s. policy in the region so what's that mean that these are the members who will authorize any future funding for u.s. activities in syria as it pertains to military resources and defense cooperative partnerships so it matters and i believe the president will listen to it what he actually does that remains to be seen. what are we to make of the fact that it was a bipartisan an issue to members of the president's. policy signed up to this last. well that demonstrates that. whether. from a republican or democratic perspective. leaders in congress want to know what the goals are in terms of syria right now on the hill of additional attacks by the syrian government and which civilians numerous civilians were injured and were

killed that has really struck a nerve in congress and addition to that it remains unclear what is being done to mitigate the security threat to israel as a pertains to these areas within syria and on top of that as if it wasn't enough members of congress and the senate want to know what is going to be done to deal with the presence of iraq. russia as well as hezbollah. isis and al qaeda who all remain. active in the region generally gets to achieve any thanks indeed for being with us john jones there in washington . ceremonies for the held in bangkok to remove the victims of a military crackdown 9 years ago it comes as members of parliament prepare to meet for the 1st time since the general election and march the election was supposed to

bring an end to military rule but the new parliament will include a senate that's dominated by soldiers going to hear reports. from you what i might do you would think that thailand's history is stained with political violence and what victims say a fruitless search is for justice it's a pass critics say the military wants ties to forget and tries to prevent them remembering their neighbor there's no denying people died here in this temple or it's supposed to be a save zone it's very cruel that authorities don't let relatives more properly pay your visits this buddhist temple in bangkok every year to remember her daughter a nurse who was one of 6 people killed by soldiers 9 years ago. a guard went to the temple to help anti-government protesters looking for safe shelter as soldiers moved to end their rally but the military fired into the temple from an elevated train line 2 weeks ago charges against those soldiers were dropped because of a lack of evidence. the shooting was part of

a crackdown against dissidents orchestrated by general prayuth china who became prime minister after leading a coup in 2014. he's likely to stay in the job after the next government is formed thanks to a system that's designed to keep the military in power. that's despite the country holding its 1st general election for 5 years in march more than a 3rd of the senate is filled with retired military or police offices the wrist are civilians who are also handpicked by military leaders some say many thais have been brainwashed from a young age to believe that the military must have a role in politics and to grow up to have a very simple idea we have a problem because politicians are bad you know and religion. we are not they are the ones who have successfully kept peacefulness the armed forces are entrenched within thai society when men turn 20 they have to report to duty and tens of

a snap election the comedian turned politician said that his 1st priority is to reach a cease fire deal with pro russia separatists in the east of the country joe the whole reports. an event that only months ago seemed unthinkable the inauguration of comedian and actor volodymyr zelinsky as president of ukraine a legitimate zelinsky. with all the neighbors than them agreeing zelinsky has become president before he's character in a popular t.v. series servant of the people is a schoolteacher whose improbable rise to the presidency is built on a campaign against corruption zelinsky his own rise now taking up the role for real was built not on clear policies but on public distrust in fact little is known about his policies instead ukraine is taking a chance on a man with no political experience rejecting a political class that many voters feel has failed them corruption remains rife and
