for many of the country's economic problems the president and romney has been criticized for not handling the economy well and he said that quote according to the supreme leader the president is the commander of this economic war and the other 2 branches of government the parliament and the judiciary 'd must help the president's office he also said that the independence of each branch of government in the country does not necessarily mean that they have to be confrontational that they can cooperate and he said that my administration extends a hand of brotherhood towards the new parliament now his tone was very positive but you look if you look at the context of the relationship between the presidency and the parliament in the previous years if you look at the political context of what has happened to president hassan rouhani especially since the collapse of the 2015 nuclear deal then you can understand that perhaps the content of his message the words he used could be seen as defensive this is a president who the previous parliament made 10 attempts to impeach ministers in
10:21 am
his cabinet and they succeeded in impeaching 3 of his ministerial cabinets this is the previous parliament that did this that was relatively more reformist leaning than the current parliament and if there are 2 more impeachments if you lose 2 more minister. then this presidency will have to go back to the parliament to achieve a vote of confidence to continue and finish out this last year in power now experts suggest that that is not going to happen that the government all branches all leaders want to see president rouhani complete this and have a smooth transition into the next presidency but we have seen the readout from the supreme leader a message from him to this new parliament also said that it is the parliament's job to investigate the other branches of government thank you zain for that. there in tehran. decision is expected in the coming hours on whether genocide suspects will be handed over to u.n.

international court also likely he would be transferred to the hague and then transferred to i was shot to face trial but it is still possible that our divided ety of the restaurant would be a challenge and that the court would accept that argument it's unclear how one of the world's most wanted men was able to evade justice for so long it could be the das face trial it may provide some answers it might do so shed light on the extent to which the who wanted genocide was planned and officer vive as a sense that after so many years justice is finally being served and such about al-jazeera paris. the f.b.i. is investigating the death of a black man in police custody in the u.s. city of minneapolis demonstrators are demanding justice for the man just to warn you john hendren report contains images some people may find distressing.
