and u.s. colleagues to step away from this dangerous line to start solving the contradiction through a civilized dialogue and of course it means stepping away from policies of ultimatums sanctions and blackmail. on monday the un security council was briefed on the results of investigations carried out by iran's accusers the world body condemned the attacks but stopped short of pointing fingers of failing to build a global consensus to blame iran might be one reason for the u.a.e. softening its stance iran has also been undeterred by the allegations warning the united states and neighboring countries of decisive retaliation to any aggression. in their divorce government end of war because of division and plundering nations a very very long history not just 10 or 20 years the most hated of the shows of this government accuse the reigning in nation again so you don't on a daily basis they ring in nation want to be deterred by these insults they write

me a nation won't it's treat the comments by the american official will no doubt be a positive sign to iranian leaders but it may not be enough to undo a cycle of escalation that has been going on for months during the weekly cabinet meeting on wednesday president hassan rouhani said iran does not want war with anyone. now the shooting down of a drone iranian government officials will point to as something that illustrates that iran's border security is a red line for the country and that it is more than able to defend itself now we've just heard in the past hour that iran's deputy foreign minister abbas iraq she has left to her own for vienna he'll be there to meet with remaining signatories to the nuclear deal and what is likely to tell them is that a one way relationship is no relationship at all iran says that it has been patient with the 2050 nuclear deal but if the other countries that signed out

a quarter either unwilling or unable to fulfill their commitments to the nuclear agreement and in a nutshell iran's government says it is simply unfair to expect iran to do so alone zain thank you very much for that to now that same bus ride with all the latest live and head on. and as we mentioned the tension with iran will be a big topic at the g. 20 and japan let's go back to our diplomatic editor james bass who we lost a connection with earlier and james you were saying that you will be looking out to see what comes of those key bilateral meetings that take place on the sidelines of the summit can we expect james any progress on the escalating tensions that we have seen between the u.s. and iran of the last few weeks and months in fact. well certainly you're going to see developments where they're going to see progress i don't know we're going to see developments because you just heard from zain how fast moving how fluid the situation is president trump is going to be meeting with

number of refugees per capita and many blame their presence for its economic crisis so the government is now pressuring syria's syrians to return home by making it harder to stay in a hole that has more from north east of lebanon. ramadans life as a refugee is coming to an end it has been for difficult years in lebanon is taking his family back to syria even though he's not sure what awaits them. pressure is increasing that's why i want to go back they keep taking measures against us like tearing down our homes. lebanese authorities ordered the demolition of anything in refugee camps that could be a permanent home it was the latest measure against refugees criticised by human rights groups they say refugees are living with fear and intimidation and life is becoming intolerable and this international analyzed all of the returns and we found that syrians are being pushed back into syria and that's because of the

combination or through a combination of restrictive government policy is mass fictions to mass arrests to something down businesses or you know preventing syrian refugees from working in certain fields and now there is a campaign by lebanon and patriotic movement headed by foreign minister. encouraging businesses to fire syrian workers not everyone supports the initiative but those behind it argue syria is stay for return. we are doing is not racism our priority is that he believes many refugees are working here illegally they should go back. a crackdown on illegal businesses has begun authorities are closing shops that are hiring non lebanese without work permits official say it is about protecting the economy but see. facing difficulties in op taining and renewing residence visas feels they are being singled out anti refugee sentiment in

locations well what we're going to be seeing is much of the same the big factor here is this cold front that you see across the northern part anywhere to the north of that we're talking about seasonal temperatures anything to the south we're talking about well above temperatures in many locations now that fronts going to dip a little bit more over here towards the southeast but it's really not going to cause too much of a change here across much of the south temperatures are going to remain into the mid thirty's today across many locations into southern parts of france tomorrow we're going to be seeing a little bit of a break over here towards france but they're really not going to last too much there what we are seeing a nice break is up here towards the north east into the northwestern part of russia must go 18 degrees there temps wise in rome we're going to be seeing those temperatures staying at $36.00 dropping a little bit but for paris we're going to be seeing those temperatures come back up . to the west. and ways. across china millions of cameras are watching citizens every move in school their

behavior one i want to investigates china's surveillance crackdown on how does the . al-jazeera. madagascar. a breathtaking tropical paradise. we are protecting. our diverse. as the. risk. on al jazeera.

to have you with us on the al-jazeera news and updating breaking news they has been a suicide bombing in the tennessee and capital in the past hall falla witnesses say the explosion happened in the main street in the center of tunis with the ministry of interior and the french embassy buildings we will bring you more on that breaking news as it becomes available to was. and other news tension between the u.s. and iran is showing no sign of these and with head on saying it's on the verge of breaking the 2050 nuclear deal it follows increasing pressure from washington which has had a senior leaders with financial sanctions and u.s. president donald trump has touched on and japan for

a 2 day summit where there's lots and to be some tends to squash it on trade and has relations with iran trump is already embroiled in a trade war with china and as he left washington he said it was ripe for even more well let's get more on this we're joined now by ross feingold and asia political risk analyst and he's joining us live from taipei in taiwan very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so it's said to be one of the most important meetings of the u.s. this group of countries since the global financial crisis and that is because of the trade war that we're seeing between the world's 2 biggest economies what are you expecting out of the meeting between presidents trump and she their fist and 7 months. well one thing we often see with president trump is that despite the rhetoric he might use when speaking to the media or the content as a serious tweak in his one on one interactions with other leaders and leaders of major countries china they generally have very positive going on what interaction

sporadically we should expect or over the coming days that will hear president from say that he reiterated and held u.s. positions you know as they might be off but he's not going to hit the soldier say asti things about. them or the other readers at the g. 20 as well off but we're definitely going to see some very strong positions on trade issues do you think that we could see president trump and she make another trade true said the summit as they did and when a side is lost. is certainly a possibility and there's probably a need for that from both sides although they both have constituencies that say we should be very positive and not get in concessions or even have another injuries going to go fight over the off politically admirer of leaders but they're not going to have at least another shrews and that would also allow them to tell their constituencies that are arguing for holding the line just to sticking to

a very short positions they say that they haven't conceded anything yet is just an interim truce so again that my more politically for both leaders and given all those political pressures that will be very interesting to see what comes out of that meeting but if we put the trade tensions with china aside what did you make of president trump attacking india vietnam the emus trade practices going into this meeting. we have to keep in mind that donald trump campaigned in 2015 as somebody who's going to take on these trade issues he's going to take on. he believes many american companies will share this belief and many democrats will share this believe as well off our unfair or trading practices by trading partners market access are that do exist and it's not for several this as that these other countries there are companies that are very good access to the u.s. market whether for goods or services to start or server off of their resources constrains whether it's the state department or the u.s.

trade representative department of commerce or president trying to sell so 2017 there are other countries or the e.u. there are those it was a tension obviously throughout a 2800 china. u.s. mexico canada trade agreement if it were front and center on trade but that doesn't mean other trading barbs were not going to eventually catch president trumps attention to the extent that there are policies that he difficult for american companies to sell their goods or services and you know those countries in use are very beauty simple there's significant trade barriers that if they break for free for american companies it's a situation that existed long before trouble became president and eventually if not to president trump's agenda so notwithstanding the otherwise very positive relations that we've seen over the last 2 and a half years between the from the ministration and the government of prime minister motif that doesn't mean that cooperation on security issues for example when it's president drum for bringing up the trade issues in athens finally getting to these

particular countries including india any any is taking this hour as we shouldn't be surprised that and then surely he did get around to identifying trade barriers that exist in india and that's a fine goal that is interesting to get your perspective thank you for the time that's ross fine go live and taipei thank you. to the united states now with the 1st of 2 t.v. debates has been held for the 20 democratic hopefuls to replace donald trump in next year's election the presidential primaries are being held over 2 nights because there are so many candidates and the race and the gallagher has moved from miami florida. it's one of the most crowded and diverse group of candidates in the democratic party's history so packed with the 1st televised debates will run for 2 nights lesser known politicians like hawaii's told seek out politics the 1st hindu

member of the u.s. congress to raise their profile here going forward these debates will have tougher standards to qualify so for some there's little to lose and everything to gain the american people deserve a president who put your interests ahead of the rich and powerful that's not what we have right now massachusetts senator elizabeth warren doesn't have that problem she's doing well in the polls is known to the public and visited a migrant detention center in florida before the debates with a clear message to voters. by saying that we don't know why people for money. when by saying when you turn in iraq people for polenta call errands what you want to the president of the united states is joint here. health care economic disparity and immigration were among the dominant theme is there was some infighting among the candidates over how to implement policies they all broadly agree on the former san antonio there and castro showed

the kind of emotion that may help his campaign very proud that in april i became the 1st candidate to put forward a comprehensive immigration plan and we saw those images thank you watching that image of. his daughter but. it's heartbreaking. it should also piss us all off. outside the debate trump supporters made the voices heard the president too to during the debate was just one would boring the democratic candidates and those looking for someone to take on the president in 2020 it was an exciting start to what will be a long and hard fought process the biggest challenge for many of these candidates is creating a buzz with limited time in a crowded field most performed as expected but over the next few weeks there will be a cold without increasing polling numbers campaign cash will dry up ending their presidential hopes for those that came into these debates with good polling numbers they have a clear advantage now they need to build momentum as that with about to head and go

across his era miami florida. to indonesia now as security has been stepped up in the capital in the head ahead of a vote on the disputed presidential election results thousands of police officers have been deployed in jakarta form a general problem with so called on the court to overturn the april election results citing systematic forward and abuse of power official results to clear and comment daughter that went to the 55 percent of voters florence that we has more from jakarta. the been summarizing the legal argument which is essentially that he believed that bad in systematic fraud and cheating at the polls and if there hadn't been the cheating says he would have won about 52 percent of the vote and therefore been declared the winner so what he's asking the court to do now is to invalidate the results now. which way the court is going to decide but analysts have said it

is extremely difficult for applicants in presidential election results to be able to get a verdict in their favor and many legal experts lawyers and academics who've been watching this case closely say that probably would really has a very slim chance here and so far the arguments he's made they've not been very strong has not been able to provide very strong evidence so a lot of people a lot of legal analysts academics watching this case don't think that he is going to get a decision in his favor but we're still going to have to wait for the judge's formal decision we have to remember that the court's decision is final and cannot be appealed so if the court decides against probable spray then really this is the end for him this is the end of his legal challenge. hong kong's pro-democracy campaigners have turned their attention to police and justice officials they gathered outside the main offices of the justice department held back by lines of police. outside their headquarters in another part of the city protests

is trying to keep up pressure on the government to withdraw a bill that would allow suspects to be extradited to mainland china sara clock has laces from hong kong. this is yet another block guided by protesters and this time the justice department and these rallies are simply to disrupt business and try to pressure on the government to not just be exiting. the spill old together we organize protests against secretary of justice. you know our. request to withdraw the evil so we'll continue to show our good man and continue our strike especially now government has just suspended but we're not sure where we'll come from reactivate it's yet as well as demanding the extradition will be dropped these protesters also want to make that just stick to expanding inside this building work because they want an investigation into what they saw i was excessive force used by the place during the protests last couple of weeks and so far that's

a request the government has your feelings. an airline a has crash landed in russia killing 2 crew and injuring at least 30 passengers the angara airlines flight skidded off the runway at a building and burst into flames that mission they on gask airport and eastern siberia the captain and an engineer of the antonov were killed in the emergency landing after reporting engine failure some of the injured are being treated and hospital. a new flow has been discovered in the computer system of the troubled boeing 737 max the u.s. aviation regulator found a problem with the anti stone software that says the company must address it before the jet can fly again the 737 max was grounded in march after 2 deadly crashes. the u.s. senate has approved a bill to provide 4 and a half $1000000000.00 in emergency funds to deal with asylum seekers on the border

with mexico the approval followed the republican led senate rejecting a sum of the agreed by the house of representatives that had more restrictions on how the trump ministration could use the money. now and on the latest teachers and doctors are protesting nationwide because they say schools and hospitals affording a pot as monologue over ports from san pedro sula demonstrations in the city had to moms and the government to provide emergency funding to stop the collapse of public services. this illam entry school was once considered among the best in the city of some pivotal sula today the classrooms are literally falling apart teachers are on strike and say the hunger and government has abandoned its commitment to public education where as you can see the wood is rotten it's been eaten by semites that's why the roof caved in some 90 percent of public schools in the country are facing a similar infrastructure crisis. last april the hunter and government announced

plans for funding cuts to public schools and hospitals. since then educators and medical professionals have been organizing nationwide demonstrations and the unrest has been growing the call for the 100 president has called for peace but is also deployed military police which are now present at all major public demonstrations protests like these are taking place almost every day across much of honduras where we are right now in some protesters are burning tires to block access to motor vehicles well most of these protests never made great peaceful there have been clashes and there have been a major player reports and instances of authorities there is a excessive force against peaceful demonstrators. many in the medical community say hundreds has public health sector like public education is on the brink of collapse and set up in their way to sync up with the employed but i think with only 5

percent of the national budget goes toward public health the rest is most corruption this is the crisis in the country no money for medicine or medical supplies no money to hire stuff. if i only met you we visited a public hospital in the city outside the emergency room we met 71 year old jose santos who was referred here for prostate surgery but says he was turned away by doctors i mean they told me there aren't enough beds they even said if i was dying they couldn't operate on me because there's no more hospital bed once the sun set the scene appeared even more dire visitors were left sleeping outside on the floor some next to bags of medical waste. we're told there simply aren't enough resources to treat everyone even the patients here say if public services don't improve the unrest in the country will only worsen. some for the. still ahead.
