hurt iran at all i'm looking to have iran say no nuclear weapons we have enough problems in this world right now with nuclear weapons no nuclear weapons for and i think will make a deal i think iran again i think iran has tremendous economic potential it was a softer tone from trump after weeks of increasing tension following the reimposition of sanctions on iran because of its nuclear development. japan's prime minister is considering a trip to tehran next month and has offered to mediate in the dispute donald trump didn't publicly respond to that office specifically but supports the idea of going to iran pushing this visit has been all about relationship building but given that donald trump can sometimes be an unpredictable president he may well be nervous that a lot of his hard work could be easily undone particularly on the key issues of trade and security. with no significant announcement on trade there will inevitably be

more tension over the large trade deficit the united states has with japan and the 2 leaders have different opinions on north korea's 2 missile tests earlier this month donald trump says he wasn't concerned by them while shinzo are best says they violated united nations security council resolutions. but they agreed to work together on the issue of japanese people abducted by north korea in the 1970 s. and eighty's as they met their relatives there are many still unaccounted. before and prime minister said getting them back is a priority it's going to be up to the how do we summit trump brought to the up took issue with north korean leader kid and told him my thoughts president trump is making diplomatic efforts and mine with you. wants to be directly involved in that diplomacy by meeting the north korean leader donald trump says he supports the initiative wain hey al jazeera tokyo iran's deputy foreign minister has been

speaking about the tensions with the u.s. while visiting a gulf neighbor and same bus driver tells us to her on. during his visit with senior leaders iran's deputy foreign minister abbas iraq he said the countries in the middle east are all connected and so us sanctions on iran are bad for everyone because they put the security of the entire region at risk he also reiterated an idea that iran's foreign ministry has been pitching for some time now a regional non-aggression pact between iran and its arab neighbors that would strengthen regional trust and diminish the role of the united states in the middle east iraq his comments came as u.s. president donald trump said he remains open to talks with iran to make some kind of a fresh deal but iranian leaders are likely to see the softer rhetoric from trump as insincere pointing to aggressive economic sanctions and a military buildup in the region as the true measures of american intentions towards iraq experts say in the absence of any real goals talking with the united

states would be just for the sake of talking so as long as a reduction of sanctions remains highly unlikely iranian leaders are expected to maintain the policy of not negotiating with the trump white house one former commander of the islamic revolutionary guard corps said there is a slim chance that a u.s. return to the 2050 nuclear deal could bring iran back to the negotiating table but for the moment iranian leaders are focusing their diplomatic. energy on reaching out to regional partners to try to strike up some kind of security cooperation that endeavors to elbow out the united states for years a foreign hammon have forced millions to the brink of famine and their crisis is becoming increasingly desperate victoria again the reports. this yemeni mother has 10 children to feed and this is where they live in a makeshift camp for internally displaced people in the room 8 had to provence in

earlier this month is fading. this fighting on the outskirts raising concerns of the deepening humanitarian crisis growing even worse the war isn't tense acquiring in many parts of the country where every day we have stories of people. from right . there tell us that they're hungry and they're worried. things won't get any better this is a bad they've never had it families such as should feel because a struggling to survive and the chances of aid agencies reaching their remote mountain camps appeared to be fading victoria gate and be al jazeera. the united arab emirates is showing its support for the head of sudan's military council. visited crown prince mohammed bin and. his trip follows a meeting with egypt's president on saturday and that angry protesters back home in sudan who are worried about foreign interference in the transition to civilian rule

let's speak to dr. de she's a sudanese american political activist and a member of the sudanese american physicians association she's joining us via skype from washington thanks very much for being with us on al jazeera so other protesters right to be angry and to be worried about foreign interference in the transition to civilian rule as they once. yes actually thanks for hosting it 1st of all and i believe the sudanese are bill usually just who are right now we're just in front of the water and all over the country and trying to recall trying to call for the empty seats 130 to civilians i believe the m.d.c. at this point is trying to get some sort of international support and the 1st to jump into these situations and show some sort of support where the city and iraqi and egyptians. i mean resent even their governments and they don't have their own

agenda there are interest in supporting the m.d.c. and remain and you know keeping the sudanese color in the house. when you say they have their own agenda what do you think about it because we know that. and his deputy the galo already have ties to gulf states and like saudi arabia on the way because of participation in the yemen war. yes they had their toadies as military members but not the sudanese government and this is then you seem they are trying to market in the region that they do represent the sudanese government which is not true basically they are just trying to steal the ground that has been distilled a government from this equally in support that has been really gaining ground since last december and i believe having this talk with the saudi and yemeni beating both in the cover in the war in yemen the sudanese government is much more

influential important for them being part of that is a military as well and they are afraid of you know having someone in the government who is going to take that or 30 and also send his military to withdraw from yemen which is something they don't really like to happen and the reason an ongoing and growing you know refusal to the sudanese involvement in the yemeni war we did experience or in the boston experience famine and have been. the longest war in recent history. that put us in a situation where it's really unacceptable for any us who they need from its equal point of view to participate in what's what's happening now in yemen which is the crisis you were reporting on you minutes ago let me show you the. saudi arabia and the u.a.e. did pledge $3000000000.00 to shore up sudan's economy which some people say could really be a lifeline for the country that's been suffering from an economic crisis and you

seem to be insinuating though that there are strings attached well honestly speaking the economic crisis is very well and the deeply rooted problem and i believe this is my own opinion that what has taken the shared out is not just the public the insurrection in the street but also the economic crisis and the putting you know couple of 100 of millions dollars in the bucket of the m.t.c. would not solve a deeply rooted problem like the economic crisis that we have but at the same time to give them some sort of support and who will make them are you know confidence that the reason ongoing support will be coming from the gulf countries and egypt in exchange of course some of you know of playing that role in the war in yemen and you know other agenda that they. align is might be interested in what i'm saying that this or 30 will help to some extent you know. the farm the

the formula that we see really as we're trying to create in the on the ground and it's going to affect the balance on the negotiation table between the s.b.a. and the freedom the and the collaboration alliance and the m.d.c. on the other side it will affect that balance and list and i believe that's something crucial unless we we assume that mr people stand together in the next you know phase of our duty stations who are moving to the public a strike starting tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and this is going to be you know rising again because for us. let's be clear here are meant literally government as well got a apologies but we'll have to leave it there thank you very much for speaking to us from washington. now dozens of passengers are missing or fear drowned after a crowded boat sank in the democratic republic of congo at least $45.00 people died in the mind around $180.00 survived the disaster on saturday night the mayor said

the vessel should have only been carrying 100 passengers but it's thought it was actually ferrying as many as 400 and some were teachers travelling to collect their salaries malcolm webb is monitoring developments from kampala in neighboring uganda . dozens of bodies have been pulled from the water dozens more still missing and it's unlikely at this stage that survivors will still be found in the water more than 24 hours after the boat sank survivors say it was overloaded with cargo and with people and that's common for boats on congo's many waterways on the rivers and the lakes which are crucial for connecting up the interior of the country there's little infrastructure many of the roads are only possible on a motorbike and it gets even difficult to pass them after heavy rains so the waterways a crucial also there's a lot of poverty so overloading from the point of view of boat crews is a way to get a little extra desperately needed income and to the point of view of passengers is just the only means to get around to carry out their business and in the case of

many of the passengers on this boat they were teachers going to collect their monthly salary which is essential of course for their survival as well when the boat sank soldiers who were posted around the lake went to try and rescue some of those who had survived they didn't have any proper military boats they're using small wooden boats the same kind that are used by the fishermen in the villages that live around the lake itself. lake mind also prone to choppy waters big waves and heavy tropical storms so even losing engine power on that lake for a few minutes in an overloaded boat can cause with substantial risk. these kinds of accidents aunt on common so ahead on the al-jazeera news hour why it's becoming increasingly difficult for foreign born u.s. military recruits to become citizens of the country based serve plus. i'm up

again the top stories on al-jazeera voter and some dealt a blow to mainstream centrist politicians in the european parliamentary elections the populist for rights all storage and support but the liberals on the greens also added more seats but the deputy head of sudan's military council lost out a protester saying the opposition is only interested in power meanwhile our times crown prince has expressed his support for 3 dons military council press hastur as they were worried about for. foreign interference. donald trump says the united states is not seeking regime change in iran the u.s. president reiterated his willingness to talk with iranian leaders and have a deal on nuclear weapons during his 4 day visit to japan where he's also discussed

trade with prime minister. well jeff kingston is a professor for asian studies at the temple university in tokyo and he says looking to make the most of his personal relationship with. certainly prime minister a hoax i mean he is president trump's closest friend among world leaders he had trump and invested a lot in his relationship. there's a little bit of daylight between. trump on north korea and trunk you know reacted to the missile salvo from north korea say no big deal here in tokyo people do think it is a big deal so you know there are problems there and i think the prime minister abbott is particularly worried about yes collating trade war with china which could have significant collateral damage on the japanese economy summits are really about symbolism not so much on substance so i think you know the warm relationship

the selfie on the golf or is he not easy because. the meeting with the new emperor the 1st day you asked all of this pomp and ceremony you know this is what trump rebels and so some people think that perhaps you know op is gone overboard in slimy maybe he probably thinks it is best bet in dealing with is a radical partner is to stroke is he you know as much as possible so we'll see how it works out i'm skeptical that you know trump is going to you know suddenly make big concessions because of their blooming romance more now on our top story the european elections we spoke to had a new man who's been elected to europe's parliament for the greens in germany she laid out their top priorities. it is a new situation in the european parliament that the best and then the p.p. will not be strong enough to form a coalition of its own so we will have

a say in that and that's a good thing we will not so much focus on the personal we will be very strong on our content positions which is fighting climate change strengthening a social europe and strengthening basic europe in values and democracy democracy in europe so this will be our main focus and then we will have to discuss with everyone and see how much we can get what this for sure that we will focus on the spits and counted out so we are strongly saying that it's the european parliament that has a say and only someone who was running a suspects in country in the whole process will have the chance to become a commission of from our side we have to be very strong with the guts especially to pricing carbon dioxide so the carbon dioxid tax but the money shouldn't stay with the governments over that you can commission it has to go back to the people to make it a social program and so basically everything that we tax on products for carbon emissions and all the money that is coming to the commission then has to be given

back to the people so everybody was saving carbon dioxide and was saving on his or her emissions gets money back whereas people who are very strongly in their consumption of carbon dioxid they have to pay extra so this is how we can balance it and. the climate crisis in a socially responsible way sources have told al jazeera that armed men abducted and killed at least 7 people in the northeastern nigerian city of my degree boko haram is thought to be responsible for my degree here is. the attackers came in the dead of the night or as they have ripped tim's were preparing to go for the late midnight prayers during the ramadan abducted 7 people took them from the dollar store to any of my degree to the outskirts of the city and cut them down using machine jews i thought only the attackers were trying to avoid going. tension on themselves and that's why according to security forces the one not using guns now the killing came hours after the nigerian army denied reports of an earlier
