President donald trump has laid out an aggressive new strategy on iran he says he wants certified tehrans compliance with the twenty fifty nuclear deal and is calling on congress to put more pressure on irans Missile Program can be held at reports from washington d. C. Hes often threatened to tear up the landmark deal with iran but in the end u. S. President donald trump stopped short of pulling out of the two thousand and fifteen agreement to limit its Nuclear Program for now and even though his own administration has twice certify that iran is complying with the deal he now says he wont do it again i am announcing today that we cannot and will not make this certification. We will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence more terror and the very real threat of Irans Nuclear breakout that is why i am directing my administration to work closely with congress for months trump has accused his predecessor barack obama of being myopic in negotiations with iran focusing only on irans Nuclear Program but not the financing of groups trump says are causing instability in the region the president has directed the u. S. Congress to potentially revamp u. S. Law to set up tough new standards. If iran by a late arbitrary trigger point lifted sanctions could be put back in place Senate Republicans are already drafting legislation supported by Top Democrats who have always viewed the twenty fifteen deal as somewhat imperfect were saying if theyre not in compliance were all with together on this where i am the administration also has its sights on another ronnie and target the countrys revolutionary guard new u. S. Treasury sanctions are being imposed which donald trump says are long overdue critics say these actions put International Relations at risk and could spell the end of the deal painstakingly negotiated over more than a decade this deal was working it was delivering the iranians were living up to it the i. A. E. A. Certified eight times in iran was at hearing today a deal trump took a perfectly working deal and transformed it into a crisis with the decision that he made today donald trump has shifted u. S. Iran policy and hes not entirely ruling out with drawing from the agreement all together and make sure that the deal is terrible but for all his tough talk against iran donald trump has for now taken little action ceding that responsibility to the u. S. Congress to take the next steps or none at all kimberly helped get aljazeera washington. When irans president says his country will commit to the nuclear deal as long as its in terrazas interest to do so Hassan Rouhani added the trump speech was full of insults and fake accusations chaumont s. What are you worried about iranian missiles what about those weapons you give every day to aggressor countries i know targeting of the oppressed people of yemen with planes and bombs that you built yourself you dont have any protest about those weapons and thats aggression and you targeted our Oil Platforms you are always the aggressor in this region our weapons our missiles of defending ourselves we have always been determined and today we are more determined to defend ourselves. Decision is raising International Concerns about the future of the nuclear deal as it was my kind of reports from the United Nations. The Security Council went about its daily business discussing me and mine a closed session but the abrasive speech by president certainly resonated in this building please raise the iran deal was codify did a Security Council resolution back in two thousand and fifteen at a time the u. S. And the u. N. Had different leaders of what has been agreed. If you like to state and European Union or certainly when you write you must be fully implemented it is so very important to you im sorry to see what you see now happening diplomats of today are sorry to be are concerned by some of the implications of this statement because we stand by the joint conference of plan of action we judge it to be a good deal which helps improve International Security and we want to see it continue to remain in force. Others argue the u. S. Cannot unilaterally amend a Security Council resolution and it is not a Bilateral Agreement it does not belong to any single country and it is not up to any single country to terminate it it is a multilateral agreement which was unanimously endorsed by the United Nations Security Council resolution twenty two thirty one and the leaders in germany france and the United Kingdom added their concern for the deal formally known as a joint comprehensive plan of action they say preserving the j. C. P. O. A. s in our shared National Security interest the nuclear deal was a culmination of thirteen years of diplomacy and was a major step towards ensuring that irans Nuclear Program is not diverted for military purposes the leaders added that they were worried and willing to act over irans ballistic Missile Program and what they described as its regional activities iran has sent a formal letter of protest to the un secretary general it says the Islamic Republic of iran will not be the first to withdraw from the deal but if its rights and interests in the deal are not respected it will stop implementing all its commitments and will resume its peaceful Nuclear Program without any restrictions the greatest concern that iran itself withdraws from the deal shifting what was an internationally monitored and restrained nuclear process back into the darkness mike hanna aljazeera United Nations a fathers revealed what his family and jew had while held hostage in pakistan for five years joshua born on his american wife Caitlin Coleman had just returned to canada they were seized by the taliban linked to carney group while hiking in afghanistan the couple had three children while in captivity. I was in afghanistan helping the most neglected Minority Group in the world those ordinary villagers who live deep inside taliban controlled afghanistan where no ngo no aid worker and no government has ever successfully been able to bring the necessary help. The stupidity and the evil of the Haqqani Network kidnapping of a pilgrim and his heavily pregnant wife engaged in helping ordinary villagers in taliban controlled regions of afghanistan was eclipsed only by the stupidity and evil of authorizing the murder of my infant daughter martyr boil as retaliation for my repeated refusal to accept an offer that the criminal miscreants of the Haqqani Network. Had made. To me the parents of coleman ive also spoken of their relief at her return it was incredible ive been waiting to hear that voice for so long and didnt hear her voice.

Its maybe supplies medical equipment he had high hopes for his business when the bag agreement was signed by a rival politicians in december two thousand and fifteen but the deal never got over the ground. Because of not implementing this agreement banks have stopped giving us credit weve become unable to do transactions and consequently unable to meet the demands of the market also prices have gone up and a libyan has lost value. This weekend committees from libyas house of representatives and the High State Council will meet in tunisia in a bid to find Common Ground and a revised agreement that politicians could accept but on the streets theres not a great deal of optimism of a breakthrough the clothes because the people in front of the banks every morning its so crowded you know hopeful its even worse than before he really knows what whatever amendments they will do to the agreement will not get us anywhere because the politicians are striving not to improve peoples Living Conditions but to guarantee their own political gains and interests.

I believe no matter what happens the freedom of expression should not be controlled late last year it emerged then President Park geun hay was operating a blacklist against artists she saw as hostile to her government a number of them in the Film Industry they were allegedly denied public funding and showing their work was discouraged. An investigation of the scandal has led to ministers and senior officials being prosecuted while parkers self is behind bars. The control of the arts was a historical regression that impacted the creative real of the filmmakers and undermined artistic freedom. One of the highest profile victims was this documentary about the saywell ferry tragedy that killed more than three hundred passengers most of them schoolchildren in twenty fourteen the film laid a lot of the blame on government negligence supporters of president try to stop the documentary being shown here when. Its playing the festival budget was the punishment. Filmmakers to this event they say with government think the pay of.
