range of the guns the protesters remain defiant the crackdown has been widely anticipated and the crowds are fully aware of the dangers they face down or. we the public are only protesting peacefully and now the military has come to crackdown they're just here to give us trouble we want peace we have nothing but still they come to crack down on us. we want to protect our people because the police aren't doing that they're attacking us instead as you know the jointer is doing illegal actions so the citizens need to protect themselves the campaign of civil disobedience has been widely observed against the military coup on febrile the 1st in many areas people block the roads with obstacles and cars the progress of the police hindered as they tried to clear a path in some places the protesters tried to take the stand throwing projectiles a molotov cocktails at the police. but it seems a futile effort as they attempt to stop

a military government prepared to use lethal force against its own people tony al jazeera when earlier we spoke to a protester in young gone who's been demonstrating almost every day this month didn't want to be identified she says the military is misrepresenting the protest movement for. most of the information that is from the military's perspective is from states hand such as melody and my t.v. and the way that they present the narrative even with what happened today late this evening we received a news report from their perspective they were sending police to take care of the mobs that were in the street so they were fired as bad as mobs of people who are just trapped seeing the pieces of the state which is the complete opposite of what the truth is so for us those are ways in which they're manipulating the narrative of what our experience is that we protect there's we are civilians who

care about the future of this country who have and for many of us this is not our 1st school i know for our other generation this is the 4th crew that they experience and. the school is bringing up all of these memories and this trauma of the military believing that they're above the law that their desires are hierarchy and that we civilians are collateral damage efforts to revive the 2050 nuclear deal between iran and major powers of store the white house says it's disappointed that iran is not ready to hold informal talks along with its european allies iran's foreign ministry says it's too early to be back at the negotiating table to iran wants the u.s. to lift unilateral sanctions 1st gabrielle is on though has more now from washington d.c. . this is the initial stages of posturing when it comes to diplomacy and

negotiations and this was a meeting that was face to face meeting that was proposed by the european union it would have been the 1st preliminary meeting between tehran and washington and this is what tehran and said no to at least for now but the door still remains very much open especially here in washington the white house spokesperson a white house post person giving a statement out jazeera basically saying that they are disappointed in the decision by iran but we remain ready to engage in meaningful diplomacy to achieve a mutual return to the compliance with the j c p o a the white house indicating now that they'll go back to the p 5 plus one the 5 permanent members of the security council of course united states france the u.k. . china and russia add the other being germany to see where they go from here bottom line is though is that. tehran wants sanction relief

before discussing anything the biden ministration has said nope we'll discuss it but we 1st got to meet and that's that is where the real roadblock is right now are james pattison is a former u.s. diplomat he says the biden administration should not back down against iran. americans were told that during joe biden was elected president that he was bringing an expert team into the ministration especially on foreign policy because that's the area east nationalized in over 50 years and want in the senate. this revived in his next words look very foolish right now in the eyes of the world because they can't get there they are there in the process of trying to meet the demands of. the iranians and they're just making america look very weak in the world and questioning whether mr vireo party plans to

take on or again you know last we keep our rainy and malicious sites in syria and in retaliation now it seems there are aliens are bombed as readily because that ship in the gulf of oman and. the israelis are saying that they are very heavy price there so the situation is escalating it's very it's tense and it's an escalating and it's not the time for the by straight in and here's a great team of our experts our own a renowned at the state department to back down they've got to insist that they're not meeting and they're not taking in the sanctions not now and in fact at the end they put but they could put more on so they've got to pull they've got to bargain for a position of strength for us president donald trump has hinted he may run for the white house again in 2024 but has no plans to start his own party from speaking on the final day of the conservative political action conference in florida that was

his 1st public speech since leaving office he also repeated his baseless claims of election fraud biden is failed in his number one duty as chief executive it's forcing america's loss. god this alone should be reason enough for democrats to suffer withering losses in the midterms and to lose the white house actually as you know they just lost the white house but it's one of those. who have. who you know i may even decide to beat them for a 3rd time ok. john hendren joins us live now from orlando florida john so this was a speech that was highly anticipated by trump's supporters not surprisingly as you heard there he attacks president biden how did the speech go down.

well there and it was well received by a crowd that was prepared to receive it well and here most everybody is left as you can see behind me it's all over but the merchandising those t. shirts stands you see behind me are the last of a number that were here earlier people camped out early in the day in order to try to see the president come in those who weren't lucky enough to have tickets in there and he began with a very focused critique as you mentioned of joe biden criticizing his immigration policy is economic policies everything it really done to reverse trump's policies and that includes joining the world health organization again that includes joining the paris climate treaty again and he went on to say that the republican party was unified but he made it clear he meant it was unified behind him he said it was unified all except a few political hacks those are presumably the people who voted to impeach the president on the republican side and that used to be the mainstream of the

republican party but here it see back this is really a crowd that is largely suporn of of the president and by largely i mean the stage was in the shape of the number 45 which is in honor of the 45th president president trumpeting one day to give a kind of a rambling speech one of those classic kitchen sinkers that trump gives about the election and about all the things he thought was wrong about it and what he thinks needs to be done in the future he says he wants one election day he wants people to be required to have i.d.'s and he wants you to have a reason to have mail and all of those things he feels contributed to his loss in this presidential election but one thing he did that he hasn't done a lot lately and that is referred to the new administration is the by good ministration acknowledging that he did indeed lose in 2020 don't despise what trump said i mean this conference does on the line the divisions in the republican pot to do the speech given the clues as to the future direction of the g.o.p. . that's right there are really 2 republican parties

there is the party that wants to move on to approach it to a post trump era those are the people now being called the moderates used to be called mainstream and then who are the pro trump. republicans and it must be said that in most polls a majority of republicans still favors donald trump which is why he hinted that he beat the democrats twice that is him including the 2020 election despite what 60 courts have said and then he offered a tantalizing hints republican saying maybe i'll even beat them a 3rd time which is the motivation for the flags people are carrying here that say trump 2024 john thank you. niger and officials say they're close to rescuing $317.00 girls abducted from a boarding school in the northwest and site of some far it's given their families hope after the raid in the early hours of friday but it just traveled to the school

a brewing border crisis for bided all of this activity of brain the migrants in on buses and processing them in the border patrol centers that had come to a halt under former president donald trump but now the u.s. has resumed accepting asylum applications from people who are now brit being brought into the country for that purpose and for some of the families we spoke with today they said that this is something that could not have come soon enough. they waited 2 years for this moment the 1st steps of freedom in the united states. it was just this morning these families woke up in a squalid camp across the border and matamoros mexico under former president donald trump they'd been forced to wait there for a chance to apply for asylum in the u.s. . the problems on the other side of finally over
