you know might my guess is that we talked a little earlier about compartmentalization i think you're going to see some of that out of iran as well i think they're going to be areas where they try to be conciliatory toward europe and others and they're probably going to be areas where they try where they they feel like they can or they need to be fairly provocative and again my hope is that everybody will take a step back from that and try to find ways to prevent an escalation which would be dangerous for all of us well mr blank i can certainly agree to that that we have to leave it there i really appreciate your sharing your perspective with us today and our viewers can keep this conversation going in our social media pages as for me hope to see you again same place same time here and we'll to part of. our.

here as you can see experts forensic experts inspecting the site now the attack took place in the center of pairs just north of the louvre museum let's take a look here the exact area on the map it is an area popular with tourists and is teeming with cafes bars and restaurants leisel says it was behind the attack though the bat claimed her remains unverified you saw early reports now from the scene. it was here that the attack took place late on saturday evening in the very busy offer district of paris people were shouting for the police and we saw a guy lying on the street right on the cross walk with blood on his shirt if i had been run over or maybe. and it took us a little while to figure out he had maybe been stabbed in the course of that attack the police fired shots in order to kill the terrorists and actually we can see some

of the bullet holes in one of the ball windows some news has emerged of the terrorist who carried out that attack he's thought to be a chechnyan who received french citizenship in two thousand and ten and interestingly he was known to police he had been put on a list of people who had known extreme views and that follows a pattern we've seen repeatedly. many instances of people who have carried out terrorist attacks they've been known to police and once they've carried out those attacks it's then emerged later on and we have seen that there have been meetings held by the interior ministry to try to establish more information about the terrorists who carried out that many of those who were present at the time sought refuge in this restaurant day which is a british restaurant and something which many people have seen here in paris many

times before civilians fleeing for safety and ducking into restaurants and bars to get away from danger we were standing in the street looking what was happening and the attacker came down this road here with his hands covered in blood holding a knife. we had three policeman on foot here and he went towards them. they tried to taser him twice didn't work. either managed to isolate one of them and. moved down the street attacking trying to attack him and there were two shots fired and. he was shot dead two meters in front of the restaurant but it comes on the first anniversary of the eve of the first anniversary of the rule of manuel not chrome and that would lead presumably to the same questions that will being asked of mr all the doubts are being raised whether

he could provide security for france's citizens and mr marquand will be hoping he doesn't face the same accusations. all right well over two hundred people in france have lost their lives to terror attacks in two thousand and fifteen the one which had paris in november of that year has been the most deadly so far there have also been many smaller incidents across the country like the latest one on saturday night in many such cases both in france and across europe the perpetrators were actually known to police before hand. it was.

we discussed this with charles shoebridge a security analyst and former counter terrorism intelligence officer he says security services can never be one hundred percent effective at preventing attacks any terror attack getting through is in one way or another a failure of intelligence services because their primary aim is to prevent these attacks but ironically when i want to keep perhaps we should also see that it depending on the circumstances it isn't possible we have to accept that it is possible to keep everybody under surveillance all of the time nor would anybody
12:09 am
want that situation it may be that there are more deserving suspects of surveillance at the moment but that would depend on the facts that were taken it can say to consideration at the time but at the same time there always will be people who will get through especially in a case like this where it doesn't appear to have acquired any proper preparation or indeed any if you like coconspirators that might have reported on him to the ortho it is. well this latest terror attack comes just as the french president is preparing to mark his first year in office in paris thousands have marched against manual micron's pro-business economic reforms the protesters say that the changes represent an assault on workers' rights it is just the latest in a series of rallies across france and recent months the number of which have been marred by violence and clashes with. relations between the u.s. and europe suffered a major blow this week after dahl trump ended u.s. participation in the iran nuclear deal and according to trump's national security

adviser e.u. companies could even face sanctions if they continue doing business with iran is the us going to impose sanctions on european companies that continue to do business with iran i think it would give the answer you see the answer is it's possible it depends on the conduct of other governments or donald trump announced on tuesday that he is pulling the u.s. out of the nuclear agreement with iran sparking anger among the leaders. i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal. 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 and dismantling everything what do we want to be able to be blinded to what americans
12:11 am
tell them if you can if we always say that if we don't like things and we can't achieve for new international order everyone will do what they feel like that's bad news for the world. the deal was signed in two thousand and fifteen after years of difficult talks and sanctions were eased to europe started doing business with iran these are some of the major firms likely to take a hit now that the u.s. is withdrawing from the agreement aviation company air bus faces perhaps the biggest losses it has signed contracts worth more than twenty billion dollars with tehran iranian officials meanwhile have described america's move as unlawful and said tehran is preparing to restart its nuclear program its president has said though that he will speak with the other signatories to the deal first more details now from. off. another statement from trump and we are in for another treat it so juicy you can't help but savor it let's take it from the top we'll see how we do with the rare probably we would do very well with them but that's ok too of course
12:12 am
he probably won't do very well with iran he just we may go on a deal that let the country's economy breathe more freely for the first time in decades and by a chain reaction trump probably won't get along with a bunch of other countries either yes all those nations who decided to stay in the deal reiterating their support for it is deal is not a bilateral treaty it's a un security council resolution and it belongs to the entire words no single country alone and destroyed a deal but can't undo the deal because all the others stay in did trump see this coming the rift with his own allies probably doesn't matter that much after all the america first mantra got trump elected and if you don't get it you're in for a life lesson they've got to. understand. life because i don't think they
12:13 am
do understand like we could as a whole article on american exceptionalism and this tirade could very well at a section to it we get it mr trump you say understand life we here understand how america wants it and roll over and play and here's why according to trump everyone should be on board with his iran decision if you look at what's happening in the middle east with syria with yemen with all of the places there involved it's bedlam and and we can't allow that to happen what a set of arguments apparently it's ok to support saudi arabia and their bombings of yemen a deadly come pain that resulted in the world's worst manmade humanitarian crisis all courtesy of american. weapons american logistical support and american intelligence and with syria i must have missed the moment when iran joined the u.s. in sending money and weapons to jihadist armed groups seeking regime change trump
12:14 am
has laid out a list of demands to iran most notably he called on to iran to drop the quote quest to destroy israel an explicit indicator of who trumps trying to court him and this is how we run feels about trump's move. and the american flag isn't the only thing in tatters now so is the iran nuclear deal which has left europe scrambling for a response it is never good for us to break the laws that we ourselves helped to create why because how can you convince powers that occasionally use force or violence that don't respect international law to follow our example when we don't even follow that example ourselves one thing is clear though they won't be taking

a leaf out of donald's art of the deal whole world trust the united states or enter treaty or negotiate a treaty or a deal with the united states if one president. plaything another president in the gate on that deal he for american trust american credibility on the line and here the american does not on our it's word. clashes erupted in jerusalem earlier as israeli celebrated the anniversary of the nine hundred sixty seven an extension of the eastern part of the holy city the violence comes ahead of what looks set to be iraqi week for the region with the u.s. embassy moving to jerusalem on monday and israel commemorating seventy years since its founding local journalists here.
