thomas and we're recapping the week's top stories now it is being reported the suspect behind a knife attack in paris on saturday was viewed by french intelligence as a possible threat to national security the man who is thought to have been a chechen born french citizen was shot and killed after he killed a passer by in the city's opera district and four others were also injured in the assault two of them seriously this photo was taken from a nearby balcony and appears to show the crime scene and this video has also been circulating in the wake of the incident and shows people fleeing the area and panic and here you can see forensic experts inspecting the site i mean attack took place in the center of paris just north of the louvre museum you can take a look at the exact spot right here on the map it is an area popular with tourists and is teeming with cafes bars and restaurants says it was behind the attack though

that claim remains and verified the sally 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 just been stabbed in the course of 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 of the terrorists who carried out that he's thought to be a chechnyan who received french citizenship in two thousand and ten and interestingly he was node's the police he had been put on the list of people who had known. 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 attack many of those who were present at the time sought refuge in this restaurant lunch 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. he did manage 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 emanuel 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 would be hoping he doesn't face the same accusations well over two hundred people in france have lost their lives to terror attacks in two thousand and fifteen one which hit 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. it was.

we discuss this with charles shoebridge a security analyst and former counter terrorism intelligence officer he says security services can never be one hundred percent effective and 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 i want to clear and i want to keep perhaps we should also say 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 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 save 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 into the or

thought is this the latest a terror attack comes just as the french president is preparing to mark his first year in office. now in paris thousands have marched against the pro-business economic reforms the protesters say the changes represent an assault on workers' rights that is just the latest in a series of values across france in recent months a 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 dollar trump ended u.s. participation in the iran nuclear deal according to trump's national security advisor 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 say the answer is it's possible it depends on the conduct of other governments dollar trump announced on

tuesday that he is pulling the u.s. out of the nuclear agreement with iran sparking anger among e.u. 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 screaming 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 pay blindly to what americans tell them if you can if we always say that if we don't like things and we can't achieve when you 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 as sanctions were eased 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 and company air bus races perhaps because losses

signed contracts worth more than twenty billion dollars with tehran. iranian officials meanwhile have described america's move as unlawful and says tehran is preparing to restart its nuclear program its president has said though that he will speak with the others are going to the deal first more details now from our. 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 red probably we will do very well with them but that's ok too of course 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 world nor single country alone and destroyed it you 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. understand. life because i don't think they do understand like we keep has 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 hear 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. pence 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 jihad is stand groups seeking regime change trump 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 in 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 its word. clashes erupted in
