citizens and permanent residents held in iran. with this we will impose tough sanctions on the regime and we do that for its corruption, for its attacks on innocent americans and its attacks on >> iran sanctions bill, one of the six bills the house debated earlier this afternoon

they said they're 100% iran is working toward a bomb. inhis case, 100% iran has the goals in sight, and with you, mikella, with the ballistic missile program and what they've been able to develop and what they've been able to calibrate and make better since the jcpoa, do you see walking away from the jcpoa, eliminating any of that? >> no, not really. i think it's very interesting that you can use the ballistic missile program and one of the litmus tests of the iranian intentions because you would not be spending so much political technology and money capital on a ballistic missile program if you were not thinking about putting payload on the top of that missile. so the fact that we were told that somehow jcpoa will make dealing with the ballistic missile program easier and needs to be done separately as opposed to comprehensively in the context of the deal, we are now seeing that that has not come into fruition. there is nothing easy about negotiating the iranian ballistic missile program partly because the deal does not change underlying i

in washington. see some optimism on the ballistic missile program it's not that hard for iran and others in the region to agree on a limit for the range of missiles iran doesn't need and has said it has no interest in intercontinental ballistic missiles long range missiles it doesn't produce them it can agree not to not having nuclear weapons forever iran is a signatory to the n.p.t. it can literally just recapping that language into a new agreement the sticking point which people are really minimizing in some ways is how to deal with iran's role in the region here in washington there's really no sense of how to deal with iran's continue rising influence it seems no matter what the united states does in syria and iraq in yemen iran is the one that benefits and so there's real puzzlement i think a especially in the white house how to deal with iran's influence and here my colleague in tehran perhaps could point to this more their foreign foreign minister mohammad of a jury has an idea he has an idea for a regional security mechanism to have a dialogue on all of these issues i'm not sure that will work

and i guess is also in a conundrum because trump has been very kate doesn't want the data but iran says if you touch that there's no deal and then we will tell you in some ways and old this part is all parts of the of the data and also russia and china and and turkey may want to sit on the table because your opinion so on these deal has been negotiated for years and now we have to get into into new negotiations resoled is as and among them and trunk and yet you still have to please all the parties if you want some sort of stability in the middle east well you know that's just what we think but i mean we don't even we don't even know that and clear the president he said today that he wants to negotiate a new deal to go with the existing one is that even feasible if it doesn't include the iranians. yeah well macross visit really is a critical moment for the survival of the iran deal that was agreed in twenty fifteen to guarantee stop its development to restrict its development of nuclear weapons in terms of a new deal micron proposed working on a new agreement that might address some of t

the current deal there's not a single word about iran's missile program in the deal now regarding what iran will do i do not think that as a final decision has been made i think iran is still waiting to actually see what own trump will do and then after that i think there are probably three likely scenarios from the iranian perspective either that iran continues with the d.o. although it might decide to you know not implement some aspects of the deal so maybe somewhere in between the second scenario would be to withdraw from the deal because the united states has withdrawn and right now actually there is this talk of maybe even withdrawing from the n.p.t. so one of those three scenarios but i think iran has essentially no choice but to respond in a way if donald trump decides to withdraw from the deal ok hillary if iran does decide to withdraw from the deal. what are we looking at. well president trump you know gave his heightened rhetoric yesterday here in washington that if iran does withdraw from the deal and. restart in his terms restart this nuclear pro

in bahrain. iran even under the jcpoa. they have these goals in sight. , with the ballistic missile the program and what they have been able to develop and calibrate and make them walking awayu see from any of that? no, not really. i think it is interesting that you can use the ballistic missile program as one of the tests of iranian intention. you would not spend so much -- on tophis program of the missile. the fact that we were told that make dealing will with this ballistic missile in the context of the deal, we are now seeing that it did not come into fruition and there is nothing easy about negotiating the ballistic missile program because the deal does not change their attentions why they want to have a nuclear weapon. weaponmeans to deliver a is a critical component in the iranian strategy utilizing outlined,missiles as the evidence is well aware of ,he importance of this program and it was one of the conditions that the president wanted to see fixed in the context of congressional law, negotiations with iran, and th

, and in the context ofa powers and irand in the context of a demanding dialogue with iran, we shall cover all issues. first of all, the post 2025 situation of iran in the nuclear sector. second, dealing with the ballistic activities of iran in the region. next, containing the influence of iran in the region, in yemen, lebanon, iraq and syria. and these three subjects would add to the existing jcpla. and yesterday at the press c0 nfe re nce , existing jcpla. and yesterday at the press conference, as you existing jcpla. and yesterday at the press conference, as you have existing jcpla. and yesterday at the press conference, as you have seen, press conference, as you have seen, no matter the decision to be taken by the united states on 12 may, we shall act jointly by the united states on 12 may, we shall actjointly in the region in order to find a broader agreement and ajoint order to find a broader agreement and a joint strategic framework to talk to iran, to coverfour topics. the three i just talk to iran, to coverfour topic

iran has to come clean. so in december 2015, the iea published its final assessment of what it called the military aspects of iran's nuclear program. this is the report. this was iran's chance to fully come clean to the iea. they could tell the truth. they could say we had this program, this secret program. it's over, we shelved it, it doesn't exist, we destroyed the material. here's what iran actually told the iea. it said iran denied the existence of a coordinated program into the development of a nuclear explosive device and specifically denied -- get this -- specifically denied the existence of the amad plan. the material proves otherwise, that iran authorized, initiated and funded project amad, a coordinated program aimed at the development of a nuclear explosive device. here's another document from the archive. this is a master plan of project amad. iran said to the iea, no work has been conducted with mul multi-point initiation. the scientific terminology is something necessary to understand the production

slightly more optimistic on the iran deal or climate change. that is more in the realm of damaged limitation at this stage. >> could we see an agreement with president trump on the iran nuclear convince him to stay? part of the week's conversations, whether trump and europeans can agree on additional measures and provide constraints on iran. they have done a much tougher deal with iran than the obama administration has a i think the european administration can agree with some. i think they can agree on missiles, but they are really are not in agreement with the u.s. on constraining iran's ability to have a nuclear program. i think that is why it seems likely at this stage that there won't be agreement on the iran deal. >> president macron will address congress over here. at the head ofed the night states president and make an appeal on iran? >> i think macron would not describe it that way but he would send a different message to congress as he does to president trump. when he arrived, his declaration for the u.s. media in english contain some statements that

and in fact, this is exactly what iran proceeded to do. it has continued the work in a series of organizations over the years, and today in 2010 and 2018 this work is carried out by supon. that is an organization inside of the iranian defense ministry and you will not be surprised to learn it is led by the same doctor fak iriza d eh. iran planned in the highest levels to continue work related to nuclear weapons under the different guises and use the same personnel. i want to give you another example of iran's nuclear weapon's related activities that continued after project amad. you remember the fordo facility? it was a secret enrichment facility underground that the iranians built under a mountain. you don't put thousands of centrifuges under a mountain to produce medical iotonights. you put them one reason. enrichment of nuclear weapons. but fordow was designed for nuclear prospects as project amad. this is an original iranian blue print much fordow and iran continued to build years after project amaddeneded and this is what it looks like

warning of consequences in the region iran holds cards in iraq in the united states is in iraq in the united states wants to stay in iraq at the end of the day and there isn't an easy partnership so are we going to see an indirect confrontation there ok joining us live from beirut thanks very much saying or to come back here in the coming hours ahead. ok it's just gone six d. and you're watching our rolling coverage of a u.s. strikes in syria in the past few hours five hours to be exact the united states france and the u.k. have taken military action against syria in response and last saturday's alleged chemical attack in duma of the targets president assad's chemical weapons production facilities the strikes came at night while those in the syrian capital slept alan fisher has more from washington d.c. a response had been promised predicted a no delivered or fellow americans a short time ago are you order the united states armed forces to launch precision strikes or targets associated. with the chemical weapons capabilities o

iran has to come clean. so in december of 2015, the iea published the final assessment of what it called the military aspects of iran's nuclear program. this is the report. this was iran's chance to fully come clean to the iaea. they could have said it does not exist, we destroy the material. here is what iran told the iaea. it said, "iran denied the existence of they program aimed at the development of a nuclear explosive devise. they specifically denied" -- get this -- they specifically denied the existence of the plan. the material proves otherwise. authorized, initiated, and funded project amad. here is another document from the archives. this is a master plan of project amad. iaea this isthe multipoint -- you have to forgive me. the scientific terminology is something that is necessary to understand the nuclear weapons for here is what they said. no work has been conducted with avi technology in hemispherical geometry. again the archives shows this is a complete fabrication. iran said to the agency that it co

iran has five permanent air bases in syria. it's hard to say that, a, what we're doing is working if iran is increasing its maligned -- its malign influence in the region, and i'm having a hard time understanding what specifically we are doing to push back against iran's progress. amb. satterfield: we are working on iran's proliferation, the sources of that proliferation, its ability to conduct the physical movements of material throughout the region and not just in syria or lebanon. and in all of this, we are partnered very closely with the government of israel, as we are with other governments. rep. schneider: so but when the president of the united states says a couple weeks ago, within six months, u.s. troops are going to be out of iran -- out of syria, rather, we're washing our hands, what signal does that send to all our allies in the region? and as i noted from the headlines, israel is increasingly concerned that they're going to be left alone syria's influence on its borders. amb. satterfield: the president has made clea

i think there is a recognition in europe and among our allies that the problem of iran is growing in scale, specifically the ballistic missile problem, the problem of iran's malign influenza cross the region, even in the period since jcpoa was brokered. the scale on which iran is exerting its influenza cross the region has increased considerably. i think there's also a recognition that this is a set of problems for which europe should take increased responsibility. that's a message that i hear on a regular basis in our bureau's interaction with ore initials from major u.s. allies and europe. snaud snaud [ no audio ] [ no audio ] >> are we ready to walk away from our allies and we are still talking about part of that agreement is china and russia and given what's going on with them right now so that we are virtually dividing the signatories of the jcpoa. so you say we will cake it up at that time, but this was a multi-lateral agreement that from what i'm getting everyone says iran has not violated and at the same time we're in about the process of negotiating an agreement with north ko

in iran responsible for carrying out small than hoff of the world's known executions last year that's according to amnesty international's latest because in dozens of those cases that meant public execution in iran drug trafficking and blasphemy are among those crimes punishable by death at least five people were executed in iran. when they were still on. the. just four countries responsible for eighty four percent of all recorded executions last year iran saudi arabia iraq and pakistan but the country suspected of being the world's leading executioner is china. it's thought to have put thousands to death last year more than the rest of the world put together the because data on the death penalty that is a state secrets exactly how many is a matter of speculation. but not counting china twenty seven thousand so the total number of executions worldwide fall by four percent from the previous year. m misty international says that reaffirms a global trend towards a pollution of the death penalty last year a further two countries guinea and mongolia joined the one hundred four who have now

iran has five permanent airbases in syria. is hard to say that what we are doing is working if iran is increasing the influence in the region and i'm having a hard time understanding what specifically we are doing to push back against iran's process. >> we are working on iran's proliferation. the sources of the proliferation, the ability to conduct the physical movements of material throughout the region and not just in syria or in lebanon. and in all of this reported very closely with the government of israel as we are with other governments. >> when the president united states has a couple of weeks ago within six months us troops will be out of iran for out of syria rather, we are washing our hands. what signals that send to all of our allies in the region? and are they noted in some of the headlines israel's increasingly concerned they will be left alone to push back against iran's line influence on the borders. >> the president has made clear secretary james mattis and the chairman has made clear that the primary purpose o

in. the greater danger of the nuclear deal. iran will not simply need to violate to get to a bomb, but get to a bomb by keeping the deal. and in a few years, they can enrich as much uranium as they want. and they are defining the missile and what he shows today. they had an advanced weapon's program. and we do nothing and pretend that everything is fine, iran will be a nuclear weapon state. this is the sponsor of terrorism in the world. it pays their way to an entire nuclear arsenal. >> bret: and supporters of the deal say israel is safer now because the deal is in place. is that true? >> it is totally not true. and the prime minister of israel and masoud doesn't believe it and senior and intelligence officials don't believe it. when this deal was done in addition to the problems on the nuclear side. it paved it and it freed iran from the sanctions and money poured in iranian coffers. you can see enriched iran in syria and yemen and they are aggressive and much more dangerous. >> bret: iran got the benefits on the front side and the

well tonight i'm here to tell you one thing iran lart big time after signing the nuclear deal in the two thousand and fifteen iran intensified its efforts to hide its secret nuclear files in two thousand and seventeen iran moved its nuclear weapons files to a highly secret location into iran this is the shore about district in southern turkey on. this is where they kept the atomic archives right here few radians knew where it was very few and also a few israelis now from the outside this was an innocent looking compound it looks like a dilapidated warehouse but from the inside it contained iran secret atomic archives locked in massive files actually the little bigger than this. a few weeks ago in a great intelligence achievement israel obtained half a ton of the material inside these vaults and here's what we got. to five thousand pages. another fifty five thousand files and one hundred eighty three c.d.'s everything you're about to see is an exact copy of the original iranian material you may want to know where the originals well i can say they're now in a very safe place here's what

to make a decision between now and may 12 as to whether or not he's going to keep united states in the iranand his closest ally benjamin netanyahu saying setting the stage with the president potentially pull out of that deal and in a life address the israeli prime minister said he has proof that iran is lying about nuclear program and its nuclear ambitions. president trump city watch some of that speech. afterwards he entered the rose garden with his counterpart from nigeria. the president essentially said on iran told you so but he didn't reveal exact weight but he has decided to do. >> that is just not an acceptable situation and i've been saying this, haven't i? they are setting off missiles which they say are for television purposes. i don't think so so we'll see what happens. i'm not telling you what i'm doing but a lot of people think they know. >> from one a. threat to the next the president made it clear that he's down to two locations to meet with kim jong-un, singapore and the dmz. that of course the neutral site along the north and south border. >> i threw it out today some ideas

well tonight i'm here to tell you one thing iran lied big time after signing the nuclear deal in two thousand and fifteen iran intensified its efforts to hide its secret nuclear files in two thousand and seventeen iran moved its nuclear weapons files to a highly secret location in tehran this is the shore about district in southern toronto. this was where they kept the atomic archives right here few arabian's knew where it was. very few and also a few israelis now from the outside this was an innocent looking compound it looks like a dilapidated warehouse but from the inside it contains iran secret atomic archives locked in massive files actually the little bigger than. a few weeks ago in a great intelligence achievement israel obtained half a ton of the material inside these walls. and here's what we've got. fifty five thousand pages. another fifty five thousand files and one hundred eighty three c.d.'s of. everything you're about to see. is an exact copy of the original iranian material. you may want to know where the originals. while i can say they are now in a very safe place. her

nuclear ambitions and that was the intention of the deal but for other ambitions that iran might have in the region you know the iran deal wasn't intended or designed to curb those emissions and that brings up so that you're watching i'll say it was good to have you company tonight or don't forget we got plenty stories for you today on a social media pages and you can check. it. out. at other. building. in july twenty seventh team on an attempt to freelance journalist watching without militant shelling in syria. the owner of his sacrifice quality has established a holiday memorial they will recognize war reporters who often risk the sake of the truth and through that peace you can submit to your published works in a video or written form to along doughty dot com into now. los angeles the sony of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the street. the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. this man's bone his own response to the problem and co

. 22015, iran intensified its efforts to hide its secret nuclearfile. inran moved its nuclear weapons files to a highly secret location in iran. this is the district in teheran. this is where they kept the archives, right here. few iranians knew where it was. very few. also a few israelis. now, from the outside, this was an innocent looking compound. it looks like a dilapidated warehouse. but from the inside, it contained iran is sigrid files, locked in massive six. a few weeks ago in a great intelligence achievement, israel obtained half a tonne of the material inside these faults. let us return to that vote in the house of lords which voted overwhelmingly to give parliament a decisive say on the outcome of the brexit negotiations including in the event of a no deal. brexit minister has given this reaction. we are disappointed that the house of lords has chosen to vote for this amendment despite the assurances that we have given. what the stores is hand unprecedented constitutional powers to parliament to direct the government in these negotiations and to

in the region. these efforts to contain iran in the region. we will continue to work to that effect within the u.n. security council to make sure that humanitarian law, the prohibition of chemical weapons, are fully complied with and we'll continue to shoulder our responsibilities to that effect. but we are to work with our partners to build a stable and political solution, an inclusive one that will include germany and once again will prevent feeding terrorism in the future. we also talked about the climate, and here also, we know where we stand. we need to work on major peace, including the global impact for the environment, but i think i can say our economy, our businesses, our researchers can continue to work in the field, and we are both attached to that. now on trade, you mentioned it, and i hear what you said when you called upon fair and critical trade. when we look at national trade, today we have some common challenges. there are some civic capacities in some sectors that are well known, and we shall work together to make sure this d

how would you rate his performance, especially when you factor in the iran equation? m not in the business of judging the president's work. i will say he has -- i think there is a strategy in place with china. i think there are some pieces missing from it. the president governance by instinct, to a large degree. he believes in his get that -- come inut that china is his words, stealing from us. they are stealing intellectual properties from our companies, and jobs from our country. tohas got a broad strategy close when he sees as an unfair trade deficit. i don't know if that is realistic. that's part of his strategy. and to stop some specific chinese practices that he considers unfair, including intellectual property transfers. i actually don't think he has got the tactics to accomplish all this things. shery: we are now seeing president trump and the nigerian president, hamed buhari, walking in. they are getting set for their first press conference. let's listen in. today, i'm honored to host president buhari of marriage area -- as nigeria at the white house right her

and the fourth one is to generate the conditions in the sin to contain iran in the region, yemen, and syria. on this topic, i constantly said that we needed to find the framework so that together and with the region and with the iranian leaders, and manage to find a deal. i'd therefore like to commit to that effect in the weeks and months to come. this is the only way to bring about stability. .. translator: we have brought about and before our allies we want to take responsibility in the discussions we have had together make it possible to open the way to pave the way for a new agreement in which we will work and we would like to have regional peace and iran and turkey. within this framework as a matter of fact together we can find a lesson. in syria we are together engaged within the national and against the terrorists and we will work till victory. that being said, in the long run we need to win peace and make sure that syria does not fall into tyranny in the region. the approach means that we can work on all the situations in the region. with these efforts to contain iran in the r

other words the influence that iran has in places like yemen in lebanon in syria and also that there would be a mechanism within some new agreement that would allow for the stopping of ballistic missile testing by iran something that has also of been of grave concern for the trumpet ministration so this was the highlight of this meeting so far that does continue but as well there was also an addressing of something that seems to be of concern and that is sort of linking the regional in lack of security in syria to these iran agreement you heard in the sound bite there donald trump kind of mentioning though that he feels there's a need for some of the regional players wealthy players that he did not name specifically but that there needs to be some funding for it so that the united states could eventually withdraw in terms of its military presence in syria and kimberly what i've traded mack home get what he came for. doesn't look like it looks like there's still some work to do there and that might be the one point where emanuel mccraw is going to be open to some criticism

post-2025 l, the situation of iran in the nuclear sector, second dealing with iran in the region. iran in the region lebanon, iraq and syria and this will add to the existing jcpoa. no matter the decision to be taken by the united states on the 12th of may, we shall act jointly in the region in order to find a broader agreement and strategic framework to talk to . an, to cover four topics president trump was open to that prospect and to the idea of having more comprehensive agreement and more securing one that will unable us to cover and answer the concerns that existed concerning iran's activities. this will not happen overnight, but i think it is given so far the american president needs to express his rejection of the jcpoa. with -- without discussion of any possibility of building -- the fact that we are going in that direction is a good thing for the stability of the region which remains our main objective and like i say, the responsibility to do everything in order to eradicate and defeat the terrorist groups in the region but also to guarantee the stability of the region and

in the u.s. she didn't return to iran for another decade these photos are her response to the country's altered cultural landscape they're in big us they can be interpreted in many different ways. i remember before my father died that i was just doing the woman of allah photographs and i showed him some of the in this is and i said look i'm making money with this photographs i am and i have actually a career people want to show my work and i travel i speak about is there and so i am not just a designer i am because that time in his life artists were not considered very serious and i remember he was so proud i made. that he didn't expect me. to succeed as a as an individual as a woman and he just assumed that i would also like the two sisters with get married although he really wanted us to get educated. surely mission and had a middle class upbringing and went to a catholic boarding school in tehran she knew early on that she wanted to be an artist and went to the u.s. to study at age seventeen. at that time the western backed shah was still in power but in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine he was o

first of all, the post 2025 situation of iran in the nuclear sector. second, dealing with the ballistic activities of iran in the region. next, containing the influence of iran in the region in yemen, lebanon, iraq and syria. and these three subjects will add to the existing jcpoa. and yesterday on the press conference, as you've seen, no matter the decision to be taken by the united states on the 12th of may, we shall act jointly in the region in order to find a broader agreement and a strategic -- joint strategic framework to talk to iran. to cover full topics, joint expansion and the existing jcpoa. president trump was open to that prospect and to the idea of having a more comprehensive agreement and more structuring one that would enable us to cover and to answer the concerns that exist regarding iran's activities. this will not happen overnight. but i think it is an important step given that so far the american president on to the floor to express his rejexz of the jcpoa. without any discussing any possibility of building alternative. so the fact t

will be that that is israel's foreign intelligence service they have been engaged deeply in trying to combat iran's ambitions in all sorts of fields and so obviously the interpretation is that that mossad was involved in this in this mission he says that the archive was transferred in two thousand and seventeen to this building that he that he put on the map behind him and presumably the fact they knew that suggests how they say at least they managed to get the information thank you say where there's inside stories. ratcheting up the rhetoric against iran the newly appointed u.s. secretary of state says the iranians are threats and urges more sanctions but what kind of threats is iran to the u.s. and the region and kind of iranian influence be contains this is the inside story. of the welcome to inside story on lorica the newly installed u.s. secretary of state has wraps up his three country tour of the middle east in jordan where he met the foreign minister and king abdullah might pump underscore the importance of the jordanian role in helping solve conflicts in neighboring countries in particular

at least five people were executed in iran for acts committed when they were still under eighteen. so that. just four countries responsible for eighty four percent of all recorded executions last year iran saudi arabia iraq and pakistan but the country suspected of being the world's leading executioner is china. it's thought to have put thousands to death last year more than the rest of the world put together the because data on the death penalty that is a state secrets exactly how many is a matter of speculation. but not counting china twenty seven thousand so the total number of executions worldwide fall by four percent from the previous year. m misty international says that reaffirms a global trend towards a pollution of the death penalty last year a further two countries guinea and mongolia join the one hundred four who have now abolished capital punishment for a second year in a row the us did not feature among the top five global execution is slipping from position seven to eight this is due in part to ongoing legal challenges of the use of lethal injection. but as litigation

end to the illegal activities in iran, in the region.he conditions, political solicitation in iran, yemen, syria, iraq, and lebanon. on these topics, i do not change. i constantly said we needed to find the framework so that together, and with the powers of the region and with iranian leaders, we managed to define a deal. i would like us to commit to that effect in the weeks and months to come. this is the only way to bring about stability. when it comes to iran, we have a lot of respect for these iranian people, through their history, it has always shown -- we don't make the mistakes of the past. it's time to laterally replace sovereignty of the people, we've brought about some more -- we want sustainable stability. the discussions we've had make it possible to open the way, to pave the way for a new agreement, on which we will work and beyond our european partners, we would like a regional partnership.

the middle east it may also addressed iran's ballistic missile tests which have been conducted in violation of a un resolution and as a manual makram proposes any agreement should also regulate iran's nuclear program after the current one expires bios the french president and i'm going to merkel appear to have changed their stance on the iran deal after meeting donald trump the isn't there and we believe it's better to have this agreement even if it's not perfect and have no agreement. thank you. the iran view it is not sufficient to see that iran's ambitions are curbed and contained it is most important to recognize that iran through its ballistic missile program is trying to exert geopolitical influence in syria and lebanon. solid or blockbuster verifiable agreements that guarantees that iran will not acquire nuclear weapons to denounce it without proposing anything else would be a serious mistake not respecting it would be irresponsible longly france thank you . and we should acknowledge that the current agreement doesn't allow us to address all of the issues among the things n
