somewhere in this new jersey apartment police hope to find answers about the man who carried out the deadliest attack new york has seen since nine eleven. all my gun. i don't. love my gun okay. it was right here. a man drove rented pick up truck onto a bike path on the lower west side of manhattan. he struck over a dozen people as he intentionally plowed into cyclists and pedestrians and then crashed into a school bus near stuyvesant high school. police apprehended the suspect shown here after an exchange of gunfire. they identified him as a fellow say part of a twenty nine year old man from u uzbekisn who move to the u. s. and twenty ten. it appears that mr say pop had been planning this for a number of weeks. he did this in the name of isis. he appears to have followed. home almost exactly to a te. the instructions that isis has put out. and its social media channels before.

one thousand five argentinians and two americans were killed six of them came from other nations here. they're here because the city is a a beacon. to people all over the world a place. that every kind of person comes to and is respected. and that won't change. meanwhile donald trump blame democrats for bringing what he called europe's problems to the u. s.. he took aim at the u. s. green card lottery program originally signed into law by republican george hw bus. i am to day starting the prococess of terminating. te diverse very. lottery. program. diverse jury. and diversity lottery. diversity lottery sounds nice it's not nice. trump also said that he has ordered more robust extreme vetting on people entering the united states.

more on this story we can go across to washington and bring in our correspondent phillip krauser philip. you just heard in that report the u. s. president donald trump seems to be blaming the diversity lottery program in the united state. for tuesday's attack in new york what else is the white house been saying today. yeah well that's the big one getting rid of the and will try and cannot pronounce it properly the diverse city lottery program also known as the. green card lottery program that's really what the president has set his sights on it today now just twenty hours also. after this attack in fact even earlier with early morning tweets and then at what he said before a cabinet meeting in the white house he wants to get rid of the program all together. now that allows around twenty and fifty thousand people rather to enter the united states each year from all sorts of countries. pretty much all. around the globe and he wants to get rid of that. all together now he says but it would be up to the president himself to do that

he says it'll hapappen straigight away in fact this will have to go through congress and it was congres. who okayed this? now quite a long time ago this was signed into law by president hw bush. back in the day at all so the u. s. president says he wants to see more extreme vexing in the united states in a very early tweet last night's already after the attack. he said he had told the department of homeland security here in the united states to increase extreme bebetting. now what exactly that means is not really clear because there is no documental memo that he has prepared and sent to the department. it just means making sure that fewer people get into the united states and that they are vetted a lot to more closely meaning that. immigration to

the united states that the l prison camp and if he wants to send in that he would do so as an enemy combatants the suspect would be treaead as an enemy combabatant. that's also a v very controversial move if indeed it has to happen for now the us president just saying. he would like to look at that option. now philip is the u. s. president making immigration a focus on once again essentially politicizing. tuesday's attack in new yor. well that's the big debate here right now is this a case of politicizing of the attack and die i think the odds are pretty clearly. is yes because the u. s. president has come out pretty much straight away and said in response to that to this attack he wants a change. in the immigration laws now what tends to happen after a terror attack of things are different of coursese nowadayss. is there tends to be twenty four hours of reflection thoughts and prayers and a little bit

of calm in policy and that politics. clearly not the case this time around with donald trump. add very much. moving this pull forward as quickly as possible he wants immigration reform and wants to get rid of this. visa program the visa lottery program. all together and he has blamed democrat chuck schumer the minority leader in the senate for passing that law in the first place in other words. we've got. political fights going on already chuck schumer has responded to this by the way and says that the us president shouldn't be this divisive. i just a few hours after a terror attack and of course it's worth a comparing this in a lot of people are comparing this right now here in washingto. to what happened after the last vegas. attack that killed fifty people all together that was exactly a month ago back then the president said it was not the time and the cru

very much for the update philip reporting that from washington. in other news two policemen were wounded in the tunisian capital they softer knife attack by suspected islamist militant. the assailant was unknown to to it sorties and said i he considered police to be tyrants. according to tunisia's interior ministry the suspect confessed to attacking the officers. now france's new anti terror law has taken effective today it comes off of the state of emergency which lasted two years and was extended six times came to an end. the bill sailed through parliament last month but civil liberty groups say the new law keeps france in a permanent state of emergency. police searches at anytime of the day or night without legal authorization. as was the key element to francis state of emergency. then you anti terrorism bill

has caused an ends to police searches. instead it has legalize police visits. the only difference being that offices must now gets the green light from a judge. the french prime minister says the threat is still high and that authorities must remain a lot. a fair. security is not just the responsibility of the police gendarmerie. terry it's everyone's business. if we want to e ensure calm but effective respoponse too this a a permanent threat don't neeeethe mobililizatin of law enforcemement withh s we need the legalal meansnsm and we need vigil. from our entire society genital demeanor juridique. a foot visuals that also that assist you. a a police presence will continue its advance teams to terrorist targets. football matches and concert halls. the new law allows authorities to shut down places of worship if they believe they posed a threat of extremist ideas. this can be for a maximum duration of six months. the interior ministry can

also play a suspected extremists under a loose form of house arrest without the approval of a judge. under the new rules suspects are no longer confined to their homes but to their towns. the number of times suspects must check in at the local police station has been reduced from four to one. critics say the new little cubs civil liberties an independent authority issued a responsible for restricting the basic freedoms of an individual who has committed a kind of. sure this is not the case. during the state of emergency french police raided more than four thousand three hundred buildings. according to lin mom's newspaper only twenty three cases led to tara related prosecutions. the russian president is in tehran vladimir putin in the city for trilateral talks with iran and azerbaijan. the talks are intended to focus on regional matters including security and terrorism. who can offer his support for the irann a nuclear deal the same deal

the u. s. president donald trump has refused to recertify? russia and iran to find themselves on the same page on a range of issues i including their support of the syrian president bashar. al assad but what's driving the relationship look shego finds out. what noise behind the smile and a handshake? russia and the browns relationship goes back a long way and it hasn't always been so cordele. however both nations are increasingly fronted with one thing detroit's both. the opportunities thahat might result from donald trump succession t to power in the united states. already the us president has ruffled feathers in his opposition to the iran nuclear deal. it's terrance the sanctions lifted for backing down either aspects of its domestic nuclear program. russian involvement in iran's atomic sector goes back to the ship problems widgets refurbished. bringing o one react on strm already. what's more russian firms s stand to gain from n

opening up of iran's econom. to say nothing of both nations traditional antagonism towards washington. else whether geopolitics gets a look at. russia and iran are both involved on the ground in syria locking the assad regime economically militarily. that puts them against much of the west mendez west in fact peace talks stagnate.. it givives them an agent taking a parallel approach like the talks between syrian rebel groups and regime and catholic capitalist anon. whether or not those negotiations lead to any more than their initials access. it seems certain for now is that moscow and tehran find the interests very much aligned. however momentarily that maybe. now for more on the story we can bring and jelly caulfield researcher at iris the french institute for international and strategic bears good evening thank you very much your being with u. on the program not tehran and moscow are on the same side regarding the war in syria. but they also see eye to eye on a range of issues

why so. i think it's a very pragmatic your relationship as you said they're on the same side on on syria. there are some differences for improved you know say as important for iran youku diversion ship which is below which is very important for hero. doesn't difference butler as you said you know they out against the what the question extremism they don't once and extremism truck any ground in the region. the day out there is just as you said the window your own report under the reservists. opposite tradition she was tense relationship usa. doubts so economic relationship which i starte. russia's become one of the main economy partners already into phone sixteen of of iran ports and. so iraq as well as you said russia is very portland for evolves dave up and a civilian. nuclear program. russia wants to have some contracted vis iran also that. as you said you know if youou look back at histoy does not always been france but here are no obvious different issues there is a

very pragmatic accused of a strategy. network is used is you know is coming on are. the same side for syria and i think they also benefiting from the absence of real strategy from the west that's wide new no doubt. i think did they feel some strengths in you know the future as it was said that future negotiations for the. future of syria i don't i think didn't just sit. to gather that thou stronger and deceit as a really. strength for future negotiations now ergotaminee election last year. no i think the main issue as is the watch is a congress is going to do you know now the voters in the end of the contest i think that sixty days to lose. it's what. i think. you know trump could dive. yourself city was not such a thing to do diffract that's my and is it that is given

to board the congress. is the fact that. this you know around the desk to some people not of people telling me no don't do that that if you die in of people in the u. s. say they don't interest answered and then. that would be really stupid for the us not certified as you visit what did that tentatively see. something we do we're going to see what what we we grow wheat in the congress. i think the the rational would be for the u. s. what i see that you know that against iran for the. belly stick program yeah against reruns of a job i think that death no interest to to really not certified to declarative so. now i iran's supreme leader today said that iran and russia could work together to isolate the united states what does he really want don't know i think it's it's a formula and. then you know that you will get a quick poll were. you roy stealing another beginning but what what you want to say is. you know at what is putting pressure on
