area has been closed for now and all the neighborhood is buckled other people are blogs also in restaurants and bars so it's was really a panic scenes there we know that an investigation is now opened by the anti terroristic section in paris we just heard that. islamic state claimed responsibility for this attack our colleagues at our spoke with the young man who was at the scene. but. i was going home belong dear st i saw a crowd had gathered and i thought maybe it was a robbery so i asked what happened and people told me someone stabbed people someone told me that a woman had been attacked with a knife i went to see if i could help but people were already taking care of her a person was taking her pulse and talking to her from what i saw she was stabbed in

the leg someone was applying pressure to her neck people said she had been stabbed in the neck she was awake her eyes were open after that i heard gunshots maybe one hundred to one hundred fifty meters away i went in that direction a policeman arrived wearing body armor we asked him who did the shooting he said the police and at the attacker was neutralized a parking valet told me a crazy insane person did the attack i didn't understand immediately what was happening i thought the attacker was far away so i went to the stabbed person thinking there was no risk anymore when i heard the gunshots they seemed far away so i didn't feel unsafe when i went over there a policeman told me right away the danger was over. french prosecutors say that they are treating the stabbing as terrorism related the latest incident comes despite french president mccraw lifting the state of emergency in the country last october and france has been hit by

already has past years even if he wasn't involved with those of open door policy is allowing anybody to come in not wanting to infringe on privacy is not wanting to offend anybody that's allowed the growth of this so it's going to be hard especially for these nations that so many years not wanting to offend but they've already grown the presence and come into there and now these these leaders who are here now are going to have to say ok we really cannot restrict that many freedoms we can't just take people down because we don't like the way they look even if we think that stross is a very poor for a country i consider that i would just doesn't have enough money to work correctly also has to think about the police we have. with the middle east this is the kind of situation that unfortunately promotes a reason to have tensions in some people who are trying to. decide to action to take benefits of the situation to increase tensions between the french citizens and

habits and so for us. donald trump's decision to pull the u.s. out of the landmark iran nuclear deal has led to an avalanche of criticism from europe that germany's magazine der spiegel summed up the american presidents attitude to washington's allies with an offensive hand gesture europe's leaders meanwhile have committed to fighting for their country's interests and are scrambling to save the pact. and i think it is not right to you know let's really cancel a deal that was agreed upon screening and shouting insulting and bullying that diminishes confidence in the international order systematically destroying dismantling everything what do we want to be. blinded to what american america's withdrawal from the nuclear deal has made the situation even more towns and so we will continue to do business with iran. if we always say that if we don't

like things and we can't achieve then you international order everyone will do what they feel like that's bad news for the world. well days after america made the controversial move the chief inspector of the un's nuclear watchdog announced his resignation is also emerged is that a top nuclear expert at the u.s. state department walked out this week neither gave a reason for their decision pollard boy could take so light hearted look now at the fallout from trump's latest gambit. our u.s. president risking chaos in the middle east and in case you missed it people are surprised again. don't you campaign by saying that he'd pull out of the nuclear deal with iran but now that he's actually followed through with an election promise he's caught everyone off god for some reason the world is shocked and outraged as if don't jump read us that says it's bed time sprinkling fairly dull stool over the middle east and north stirring up storms of their own

just a week or two ago donald trump was being put forward for the nobel peace prize for insulting north korea into talks and new self respecting republican president wants that on his c.v. so twelve years of torture is to play received in the world's most powerful nations a level of complexity rarely seen in global affairs as governments came in when but the negotiations pressed on relentless trump's view of the alarm on the deal was you are horrible on the plus side he didn't say very very horrible which and trump well that more or less a compliment saying that there is wiggle room off to roll the orange one said while tearing off the iran deal that it didn't bring calm it didn't bring peace there and it never will he did not want to read baseball cap when he runs for a second term because one of the message a u.s. president can sell standing with us on i and egg on my face is europe's big freedia is not prone. to and i was there and spent

a lot of political capital trying to keep trump in the deal christ at least one of them kissed him in the end they learned a vital diplomatic left the kids as many sheets as you like but the u.s. is going to do what it down well please the europeans and russia and china say they are dedicated to keeping the middle east nuclear free apart from. you know. everyone techmeme use of terms with drool in their words. to me for me away the european. done. nothing every. iran now says it is ready to restart its nuclear program on an industrial scale in the meantime iran's foreign minister has denounced america's move as unlawful and accuses the u.s. of a long history of violating the accord and the dispute even extends online with iran's

supreme leader appearing to troll president trump by posting a photo of him reading fire and fury inside of the trump white house book details salacious claims about calling his behavior erratic and describes vicious infighting the best seller caused explosively angry reaction from trump and his team. former u.s. deputy corden leader for the iran nuclear deal has told r.t. that the us president's decision shows a disregard for europe he tells sunday's worlds apart how trump is riding roughshod over his allies efforts. after all the bonhomie of the meeting after the supposedly improved atmosphere in the merkel meeting and then he actually treated his intention to make this announcement and sort of telegraphed where it was going while foreign secretary boris johnson was actually in washington trying to convince vice president pence and secretary of state to continue the negotiations it whether

or not he was intending to be rude whether he was trying to send a message this clearly isn't the way allies behave toward one another i think you see the united states disregarding the needs and interests of its allies and europe and other allies are going to have to look at this and decide how to respond in order to protect their own concerns president trump is trying to tear down the accomplishments of his predecessor i think it's pretty clear from his public remarks that he does not understand what was in the way or what is in the g. c.p.o. a it also does undermine the position of the united states in the world we are demonstrating that we cannot take yes for an answer and that makes it very very difficult to make a credible deals with the united states. the swedish authorities could soon bound to public pressure on to conduct a study into whether there is

a connection between increasing migration and crime levels the leaders are still wary about publishing any data that could reveal links between the two citing the current political climate it can now be noted that the demand in the social debate on updated information on the relationship between crimes on the one hand and descent and migration on the other hand is so strong there's all sorts of needs to consider the possibilities again. the last study in sweden on migrants and crime was done in two thousand and five two years ago the police decided to or met a criminal nationalities in official reports the push for this latest study comes after sixty one areas in sweden were labeled no go zones where to start around five thousand known criminals currently live.

in need to make clear shift in direction we cannot continue in this direction ten more years society needs to do more we need to do more we need to focus on the serious. member of the sweden democrats party told my colleague andrew farmer earlier that he thinks leaders are not being honest enough about the impact of immigration immigrants from these countries to create havoc all around europe and you know it's needs you know you need to start this aside sweden the media they need to stop you know protecting them or denying the problems we have with immigration where the

information received them from this how can it be used productively to solve the problem. well i think that once people realize once they dare to i mean you know the causes of the problems from specially some kind of immigrant groups then it's much easier give us an argument to stop immigration from these countries because in the end. our responsibility is to our citizens and i'm quite sure. you know this survey will be yet another one that will show how the media and the left wing liberals have lied for thirty forty years on about the immigration can also say that many people in sweden commit sex crimes too but we don't make an issue of their origin yeah there are of course swedish people who commit six razor crimes in general but it's that the thing is when you have an

immigration you need to know how does that immigration affect your country it's better than us if a swede rapes someone burden us we don't need to import more rapes into the country . the votes are being counted in iraq's first parliamentary election since of the defeat of islamic state last year and there is a lot at stake not just for the iraqi people but for other powers in the region as well as ortiz but our guardian comment depending on whose side you're on these elections can make or break the middle east not because of oil nor riches though that helps neither is it ideology or jihad ists this is all about friends. first of three leading candidates hi the. current prime minister the best word to describe him is neutral syria stay out of it iran vs america stay out

of it yemen stay out he would be buying to iran but neither will he be a poor in america's efforts to isolate iran. candid number two nobody. former prime minister he makes no attempt to hide his affinity for iran imagine if he gave iran bases in iraq allowed troops and tanks to move from iran to syria the israelis the saudis they will like that one bit. candidates number three trumps nightmare. meeting this guy who's an iraqi himself fooled on the side of iran during the iran iraq war enough said

i believe the american administration could be the biggest loser from iraqi election we have three camps fighting to when this election i'm at it can only have one strong ally which is. always. and he is trying to keep that alliance with the united states but whether he is going to win this election i have my own doubts i think that it's that i will have the group that i'll give you are very close to the end and gating a lot of support but i'm not here so i believe they have a hand now so you see the problem here one guy doesn't want to get involved in anything one guy is all buddy buddy with iran and the lust is so poor raney and he'll fight you quite literally and even with the weight steeped in its favor

america says iran is cheating. worrisome evidence that iran is trying to influence using mom the iraqi elections that money is being used to sway candidates to sway votes it's not an insignificant amount of money would believe and we think it's highly and how. it's bad so bad that western states are sending ambassadors to end trying to empower an iraqi cleric who's supporters had been killing american troops back in the times of the us intervention he even warned two years ago that americans are a target all forgiven and forgotten you see he doesn't like iran. any day that iran is military general kasim silliman he looks at the t.v. and is unhappy is a good day for security in the region i'm looking at. those meetings in saudi arabia will make you very unhappy it all depends on who is side you are on america

lost thousands of men in iraq spent a trillion dollars on the war there and to watch it all go to iran that would hurt. almost a year after the opening of the us special council's investigation into donald trump's alleged links to russia vice president mike pence says it's time to wrap up the probe our administrations provided over a million documents we fully cooperated in it and in the interest of the country i think it's time to wrap it up comes ahead of the first hearing in a criminal case a brought by the special counsel against thirteen russian individuals and three entities they stand accused of conspiracy to interfere in the u.s. presidential race it was thought all of them were unlikely to ever appear in court but after one company decided to defend itself it turned out robert muller's team was not quite prepared as artie's jacqueline volvo reports. february saw the first

real result of mahler's investigation finally the russians were being called out directly three companies and thirteen individuals were named and shamed the massive indictment in the robert muller investigation breaking today of thirteen russian special counsel robert muller investigation moeller indicted the russians thirteen russians not only operating overseas operating right here in the united states but given that those targeted are russian nationals with no worries about extradition to the u.s. no one expected the matter to go any further than media headlines but one company named in the indictment concord management and consulting seemingly called mahler's bluff by hiring d.c. attorneys who showed up for the arraignment the plea of not guilty or not you think a molar is office would be happy to finally have their day in court but no they tried to put off the hearing on the grounds that the defendant had been properly served which is amazing as being served is just a way of getting the opposing party to show up to court but given that lawyers for

concord have done exactly that the judge ruled against that argument it seems borderline immoral to indict someone unless you can prove he's guilty of the crime they did it for one reason only muller needed some russian like dressing on a salad to make his investigation look good the defense attorneys also demanded massive amounts of documents related to the probe things that hadn't been made public and there's no way miller's doing that just think about it turning over classified information to the people representing a supposedly kremlin linked company court investigators from miller's office that they would have been thrilled to see all of the defendants show up like that was never going to happen and went on to ask if the attorneys represented a catering company listed in the indictment as well the aim of which was lost even on the judge. ok would you like me to do with now a status hearing on the case is scheduled for may sixteenth and will likely know by then if everyone is ready to put all their chips on the table. the canadian

opposition leaders demanding to know what is being done about dozens of former eisel fighters who have returned to canada comes after one of them admitted to carrying out executions in syria in a new york times podcast. but you can do this you're not going to be held accountable and i just kept looking down at his feet i don't want to look at his head and then. i kept thinking we killed them this individual described how he executed individuals by shooting them in the back of the head he said that the people he was shooting deserved it and he said i know i won't be held accountable he said that a least twice former i saw a fighter who goes by the name of. confessed to taking part in execution style murders of sunni muslim men he said he decided to leave syria after his second killing because i've had originally left canada in two thousand and fourteen to join the extremist group when he was just seventeen he's now back in toronto much to the surprise of canadian lawmakers this guy is apparently in toronto canadians

deserve more answers from this government up so why are they doing something. or canada's public safety minister refused to provide details on the former i still fighters current status but he insists that canadians are safe and the security agencies are doing their job. a contributor to geo political monitor dot com things western governments policies towards syria have radicalized many people. many western governments have taken a very ambiguous line at best and at worst say france united states great britain have to get wrecked lying in antagonizing the syrian regime making it seem like it was ok to go and fight for isis given that they were fighting evil regime of assad so definitely they should not be surprised of blowback but at least sixty such

fighters will come back from fighting in syria rather than putting fighters in jail and the sort of deep breached after this story and has come out in parliament particularly people conservatives it has to do in certain provinces we don't like trudeau will definitely make. this into a bigger story and i'm sure that trudeau will probably price will have to explain for the next election. the growing to tom to between the u.s. and north korea is still on course pyongyang says it wants a journalist from around the world to come witness the dismantling of its nuclear test facility later this month when it comes after america's top diplomat promised the kim regime economic aid for gives up its atomic arsenal to north korea to export action to quickly denuclearize the united states is prepared to work with north korea to achieve prosperity on the par with our south korean friends well the

comments represent a dramatic u.s. policy shift on north korea in the past thirteen years washington has imposed hundreds of trade penalties on the isolated country really half of those were implemented in the last twelve months but sanctions have not been america's only tactic for exerting pressure on people. only the strongest sanctions will enable us to resolve this problem through diplomacy. you know if north korea continues its dangerous path we will continue with further pressure that's called the military option the choice is we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea it will be devastating rocket man should have been handled a long time ago. although relations now appear to be moving in the right direction human rights attorney erik's wrote can told us the u.s. still need to make good on its promises there's

a lot of problems that we face with the credibility of the united states under those circumstances can we make deals whether it's the paris climate deal whether it's the around the nuclear deal what message are we sending to north korea about the durability of an agreement that we enter with them under such circumstances and so chile the united states is sinking further and further from international customary legal norms in references to treaties and agreements and revoking then pulling out of them despite the fact that they've been negotiated by a multitude of countries so trust has to be rebuilt by experience it's not built by words it's not built by sheets of paper. several thousand people protested saturday in the georgian capital tbilisi following overnight anti-drug raids on two clubs. i

was it was yours were arrested to have since been released to the demonstrators say officers used excessive force calling the operation a deliberate provocation they claimed the ministry fabricated evidence the venues are used as major drug trafficking king points and that it is trying to crack down on tbilisi's flourishing clubs in the city's mayor urged demonstrators to talk to the government about how to tackle drug dealing but instead of their demanding the interior minister resign protesters plans to spend the night outside parliament where they've already been making their selves heard. thanks. thanks thanks so much

that does it for me i'll be back with headlines and about thirty two minutes they once. united states can use. its news and its tax on other countries. economic sanctions are just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries a talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. leave the responsibility for the home. and we need to make moves through most of. those without us there would be.

welcome to world a part of the iranian nuclear deal once branded as a major achievement of american diplomacy has now become the poster child for the absence of it don't trans decision to renew going to agreement not only reopens a major international problem but it also calls into question the very means of solving it with allie's betrayed adversaries befuddled how should the world navigate its way forwards well to discuss that and now is joined by jared blank

senior fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace and formerly a us state department. coordinator for ironically implementation mr blank it's so good to talk to you thank you very much for finding time for us thank you now i'm sure you are greatly disappointed by president turns decision to wire walk away from the j.c.b. zero eight but hopefully there is still some room for damage control how much of it do you believe can still be salvaged well i suppose you can call damage control there from the u.s. perspective no good outcomes here one possibility is that the path that we're currently on the successful and that's that immediately after president trumps announcement president rouhani said ok we're going to stay in the deal for a little while and give time for the other participants mainly the three european countries to see what they can offer us to make it worth our while to stay in long term that could succeed it would be good from the perspective that would keep her on the nuclear program.
