called it the four pillars so that in addition to the existing deal there should be more inspections of raney and nuclear military science there should be some agreements on long range missiles ballistic missiles which the iranian regime is developing and the increasing influence and the activities of iran and other countries like in syria like in yemen should be countered so basically the europeans in this agreement's the french the british the germans are trying to put together a kind of package of additional measures to address the concerns of donald trump and. called this a new deal but he was called on by the french press on this i asked him so does that mean you want to scrap the existing deal and have a new agreement and then. clarified that no the existing deal should stay in place but there should be additional measures other agreement or maybe several green. and with iran and also quite interestingly not only russia and china who were part of the existing iran there should be part of this but also turkey as a regional power and donald trump was once again talking about how bad the e

in yemen and the fear is that it will further expand its influence because of the growth of the you raney an economy during this period and this is the of the concerns on top of course of the fact that the iranians are not having basis military proxy in syria there are medium and long range missiles that the and that have been used also in saudi arabia and israel a few years of them to semicircle in jerusalem thanks. days after a historic summit between north and south korea pyongyang now says it is prepared to shut down its underground nuclear test site this according to officials in the south korean capital seoul it's one of the first steps expected to be taken off to north korean leader kim jong un and south korean president muna jain pledged to officially ends the state of war between that country. friday's summit was long on promises and bonding but it was short on specifics about how to achieve the grand goals discussed. goals like the denuclearization of the korean peninsula and quieting the threat of regional war now the first specifics on shutting a nuclear test site in the north

it takes and hopefully takes the side of not only the militants or their problems but also the anti raney inside that it would be of these really interest for example do you find these explanation plausible at all you know i think i think i wish the peace process the geneva diplomatic peace process would have taken hold much earlier i think obama drew a red line and never fulfilled his his threats i suppose are predictions. on the other hand i also don't support trump president trumps you know unilateral actions either but those of us who've worked on this crisis for the last five or more years a very frustrated and more long frustrated long before when the rebel groups in syria had to resort to violence to try to oppose bashar assad's really in you man cruel long time tactics of torture and an ugly behavior as a. dictator in syria and. i think. everyone has a little bit to blame i agree not sure what the united states could have done more you know we haven't done military action directly as we have the last year with president trump maybe we should have done that earlier but i'm in favor

raney their you know a new political initiative that's a very ambitious goal are russia turkey and iran open for example to a new political mission. but the problem is the russians are not on board and they will not be on board on the first cebu future because the assad regime which is supported by russia is on its way to a kind of a military victory in the syrian draw and as long as that happens the russians have no reason to give in and to join any effort to have a political solution in the un circus circular to council is still blocked between the russians and the americans and the conference he is preparing for for the long haul for a solution not inside full for many years to come and there's no change inside in syria and the u.s. is on the other side to be only can participate in a rebuilding and reconstruction of syria if there is a regime change and democratic opposition comes to power and that is not inside for for the for the future bad for her life in brussels at that major donors conference for syria are now back thanks very much. let's now get some of the other stories maki

so far what's come from russian of id today well the israeli air force regularly targets pro raney and pro assad militias in syria but usually they don't comment on it just like they didn't this time around but the timing of this apparent airstrike in syria by the israeli air force is really putting things upside down for everyone. how could this affect the syrian is going on the situation on the ground what impact do you think this will have while again i'm saying that it's turning things upside down because of this buildup things happening in syria in april for a second year in a row could have put the world on the brink of a global called like remember that last year in april allegations of a chemical attack pushed donald trump towards firing tomahawk missiles at syrian troops and then u.s. russia ties were in tatters and the syria peace process was thrown off the tracks but it is april twenty and last saturday we had reports of corn gas being used in duma that is a town besieged by damascus unlike last year there was no military response from the west despite trump obviously saying

that crisis and yet if you look at the number of big gun ships in the seas around syria in the bid to raney and in the red sea there is a very very high concentration of both russian and the american navy there and it has been the case for quite some time for at least several weeks or months and we heard numerous reports of. possible provocations all this time around a large chemical attack that may trigger the united states to hit that country with its crew israeli missiles are other weapons and the russians have already said that if that happens they will retaliate do you think it's all bluff on both sides if you believe that we are not close to anything similar to the cuban missile crisis i don't think they are close to a deliberate clash military clash between united states and the russian federation close to and has been for the past two and a half years is a clash by accident as you say there's so many planes in the small syrian air space just so much weaponry on the ground there's so many navy ships the mediterranean coast of syria that something could happen but not out of choice bu

syria that is something completely sure of that but would he go ahead for example and target somebody raney and personal aide in syria likely israelis did just a couple of days ago that's a possible scenario of some attacks maybe in damascus some. sensitive locations and that's also something which is possible as i said to the juice of the pressures which are piling up on the trumpeter ministration not just to do something but to do something which was more than what he did last year when he launched those tomahawk missiles the world is without a question watching and waiting to see what happens next ali risk expert on middle eastern affairs thank you so much for your time and your unique insight on the situation thank you. a military aircraft has crashed in algeria killing two hundred and fifty seven people that's according to the country's defense ministry these are pictures from the scene the aleutian seventy. six plane came down shortly after takeoff from an air base around thirty kilometers from the country's capital the aircraft had been carrying algerian military personnel and member

syrian army and its russian allies are saying areas and waste in color moon it's a vital interest to raney unbacked hizbollah fight is want to further secure syria's western border but attention is expected to focus on the north where rebels control a big chunk of province that's where rebel fighters have been sent from different regions of syria as part of transfer deals from east in the lead eastern goods and homes some of binge of aid is following the story from gaza into up near the turkey syria border let's focus on the chemical weapons inspectors though p.c. w what's happening to them well they. we know from their official release that they are committed to this job after this strikes that happened yesterday the u.b.c. w the international chemical watchdog saying that the inspectors have arrived in the syrian capital damascus and will be carrying out their work we don't know the specifics of how will they be able to do their job but we've had assurances from the syrian government and their russian their lives that they will be allowed to operate independently but there's been a lot o

raney and government that it can't simply relinquish crimea is called. a. soul quo vadis crimea. it can only be hoped that the people of crimea can decide for themselves what lies ahead think whether we like it or not in my view we have no alternative but to accept that crimea is now and will remain russian light. uplifting even if dorsey you carry the weight of the relationship between russia and ukraine is extremely dynamic. basically even today it has yet to find a definitive form. useful for she's going to at a point in time in the past crimea was handed over to ukraine it passed from the russian to the ukrainian soviet republic within the framework of the soviet union. it's difficult to see that as a justifiable act was the it was a step within the framework of a single state and when one state is suddenly replaced by two independent states it's logical that both will stake a claim. time will pass and the relationship between the two countries will find a form and bounce. but the most important thing is that the voices of the people who live here are heard just to get. in th

over the course of his 28-year raney john paul ii makes the pope an international icon. >> i would challengeone to think of the names of two or three popes before j.p. ii. no pope under any circumstance has ever had the impact that j.p. ii had. >> before john paul ii the papacy is a quiet vestage of an ancient tradition. popes are a figure head atop a hill in in hope. measured for their part in war and justice. >> in the early part part of the last century secular authority wouldn't listen to the papal authority and the pope was insulated. >> the pope seemed far away and didn't seem to be involved in your every day life. >> but karol wojtyla, the john paul ii changes the face of the catholic church forever. >> his mother died when he was 8 years old. his brother died shortly after that. he was raised by his father in a very pius household. his man father was a man of deep prayer and pyati. bts wojtyla referred to his home as his first seminary. >> he prayed every day. there was a kneeler in their living room. he was a deeply spiritual and religious man, even as a young man. >> in 193818-year

you describe the developments today what we saw today and particularly was there any shift in these raneyresponse compared to last week. in the evening when we see the numbers of casualties first of all it's very said in a finger to eight people to close the life and hundreds of people to whom the is a very. bad outcome of this demonstration however if we compare it to list week we see the decline in the number of casualties in a less strict we had twenty two palestinian being killed by live any mission this time it's less than half that so it's better and i think today's an effect on these really really give a minute of the criticism from the international community but also from these early peace not to use. live bullets against civilians against people that are going to the most to demonstrate against the siege of gaza i think that we see a better result it's still a bad very negative i think we can we can handle this demonstration israel can handle this demonstration with a much lower number of casualties casualties but it's better than what we saw last weekend and the difference in t

know some of the some of the activities by iran for example regarding the quantities of known ritu raney and or regarding the advancement of the centrifuges have a have a shelf life of ten years on with someone of the me to fifteen years with the goal of normalizing iran's nuclear program eventually but america wants to change that and changing you can change that without bringing the deal because they are one of the essential pillars which the which the deal is based on however we could see supplements to distil for example issue of sanctions against iran's missile program a presence in syria these one these won't be undermining the deal as long as they don't bring back the sanctions which were removed when the nuclear deal was signed but if mr trump wants to reimpose the oil sanctions the central bank sanctions the swift sanctions or to renegotiate a sunset deal that's basically undermining the deal and that basically means the united states will be walking away from the j.c. pure way if it decides to make such demands and if they did do that do you think any of the other countries tha
