Some foreign fighter affiliated with still taking a position different buildings putting some very stiff resistance fighters advance there is some talk of people being evacuated on board buses who are they and where are they going. It is still a very debatable issue people are talking about some deals that were struck between the s. D. F. And that would pave the way for syrians and their families. To leave the area as syrian fighters would be handed over to Security Forces there would be checked and all that stuff and they would look into their backgrounds but they that is a big question mark about the foreign fighters that have different sources affiliated with the u.

Has been worldwide condemnation of a decision by the us President Donald Trump to decertify a deal on Irans Nuclear program mr trump says tehran has not lived up to the twenty fifteen agreement which restricts Irans Nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of sanctions the iranian president Hassan Rouhani has responded to the speech from donald trump he called it a pile of delusional allegations and the leaders of france germany and the u. K. All warning the u. S. Against undermining the accord in a moment well have more reaction from tehran but first heres our White House Correspondent kimberly help that. 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 certified 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 sections 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 i may do 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 step or not at all cant really help that aljazeera washington. Or the iranian president is insisting his country will remain committed to the nuclear deal as long as its in tehrans interests to do so howson rouhani added that the speech was full of insults and quote fake accusations chaumont its what are you worried about irena 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 as invest ravi has been following reaction from the capital tehran. Irans government no doubt waking up this morning congratulating itself for a Job Well Done their pivot to europe paying off the e. U. Reaffirming their commitment to the nuclear deal swiftly after the speech by u. S. President donald trump this in bold and irans government president rouhani speaking shortly after the e. U. Address saying that the Trump Administration speech illustrated that the u. S. President needed list lessons and history and geography the foreign minister tweeted shortly after president rouhani speech last night saying that iranian people will not be intimidated by false allegations against them and just to remind you of how president rouhani ended his speech he said that he didnt expect anything better from President Trump and in the future would not expect anything from him all these comments are designed to isolate the United States when it comes to the nuclear deal and any future negotiations or policies of the iranian government in the region and no doubt internationally and the idea of that is the iranian government wanted to use this crisis in it as an opportunity to to isolate the United States. How are regular iranian people reacting to this well those that weve spoken to have said that they know that iran is not a political or a social utopia they know their country has problems but those problems are irans problems to solve by itself and no doubt at the trumpet ministration speech will be serving to unify iranian people behind their government in the face of external criticism. Ok lets take more on that story for you joining us live here in the studio is my job where he is associate professor in contemporary history at the of the middle east at cat Art University when you listen to the speech was there anything good in there at all i think if we want to understand the speech of we have to go back a little bit and to remind viewers that. Highly he wanted the speech where he can demand eyes that iran denies that evolutionary guard and weve returned them to being a rogue state. Now the speech is very its very obvious that the speech the wording was speech has been influenced by third party i do believe that the stablish meant the parliament of state may have been going to see i have their intervention on how to put the speech together simply because of two things one this this deal is not by lets bilateral deal its not by washington and tehran number two the effect of washington will be less comparing with the other with the weight of other five countries who are signing the deal so they wanted to be balanced about the speech so then the influence the position of the United States he seemed to stop short in one particular area if hed referred to the revolutionary guard as a quote terrorist organization that would have taken the debate into a whole different area surely this is not the first time with the department where the white house or the department of state or the cia actually spoke about the division of the god whats interesting about this he wanted to label them and other than a zation there was a lot of sanction imposed under guard Individuals Companies related to the revolutionary guard so this is not the first time weve got to be brought to the story and you know aim or targeted so i dont think so what is doing will be different from just tried to give this you know in more of illusionary guard remembering that they have a role in syria they have a lot in iraq and he wanted to remind his alliance of the night is the around the america is in is really keen to fight iran where it is actually influence his stability and security whats he driven by here i mean clearly hes driven by his loyalty to his Political Base domestically thats issue number one is he also driven by this anti iran sentiment regularly expressed by the saudis and the israelis here for once by three things one his own speech when he was campaigning for the elections where he. Consider iran as the main threat to the region and he considered as one of the his goals to face number one hes also influenced by the israelis rhetoric about iran thirdly about whats whats been said in the region especially from saudi arabia horizon. And other countries basically who have a problem with iran hes influenced by all of this but more important actually hes influenced by his own base in Washington Republicans who always historically they have a major problem with iraq ok whos more isolated today what is eighteen hours since the speech whos more isolated the United States or iraq i think the United States will be suffering because of this speech and will be questioned a lot ok we have to leave it as ever thank you very much my pleasure. Plenty more still to come on the news here for you including these stories colombias Vice President tries to ease tensions in the country southwest where farmers were killed by the police last week.

I was in afghanistan helping the most neglected Minority Group in the world is 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 initial results in the elections in liberia sure the former football star george weah is in the lead at least one third of the votes of not being counted we has almost forty percent while his nearest challenger the Vice President joseph waka is on thirty one percent is likely there will be a runoff next month because the women must hit fifty percent.

S. Safety limit some children havent been tested so there are no official figures of how many are sick but Community Leaders say they know decades of mining lead and zinc have left a toxic legacy. Very stringent for instance. Its quite poor. Very very hard to believe.

Now the government in sierra leone is banning joking in groups saying it promotes disorderly and criminal behavior but the opposition sees the move as a way to clamp down on its activities before the next president ial election in march. Jogging together on the beach its an act of defiance for president ial candidate mohamed months all right and his supporters. Running in groups saying its an activity that leads to unrest and vandalism. And. You know. Supporters of the Alliance Democratic party believe the directive is politically motivated to prevent members of the opposition and their candidate from campaigning ahead of the president ial election into their Party Headquarters it was set alight. Believes the ruling party is behind the fire. Political intimidation with some form of political. And i democrats say we need to allow people to speak up. And peaceful ways the government deny any wrongdoing saying it is promoting democracy. In such a logical. The reason why we continue to be the most peaceful country in west africa it is because the citizens all of us to get into that in terms of compliance because of the history weve had with the conflict in the ninetys the decade long civil war that left fifty thousand dead in the one nine hundred ninety s.

Says its unconstitutional he believes that running or gathering in groups are fundamental rights there is a need for people to express themselves he says in order to avoid mistakes of the past. Afraid of instability but that doesnt mean people dont want to express themselves i think over the years and then as i become very experts perceive society where they try to vent out their anger on just a media and talk about things that they dont like about their government president koroma has been the countrys president for a decade and will not be standing for reelection you candidates are emerging wanting to run for office and setting the pace for what will be a hotly contested election because hawke aljazeera freetown.

The u. S. Defense secretary james mattis is urging iraqi and Kurdish Peshmerga forces to remain focused on defeating ice on the Kurdish Regional government has accused iraqi forces of preparing to seize kurdish Held Oil Fields near kirkuk Charles Stratford has more now from erbil in Northern Iraq the Kurdish Regional government ok ology says Iraqi Government troops and shia militia forces have moved closer to their peshmerga positions the peshmerga have controlled kirkuk and surrounding area since two thousand and fourteen off to defending it against eisele when the iraqi army fled. But kirkuk one of iraqs two main Oil Producing regions is disputed the peshmerga say they will not withdraw and will defend the city and its oil at any cost. Large numbers of Popular Mobilisation forces and other iraqi forces arrived in this area south of coke this is dangerous and threatens war we did not come here to fight the iraqi army but if any forces try to overcome our front lines we will stand up to them that. The iraqi Prime Minister hydrilla body denies his forces have moved into the area to take control of the oil fields from the peshmerga our armed forces cannot and will not attack our citizens whether or kurd he said its been more than two weeks since the kurds celebrated the referendum on secession from iraq since then turkey says it will gradually take control of its land border neighboring iran has made similar threats. The federal government has banned International Flights to and from the kurdish region of iraq and a federal court has issued arrest warrants for members of the kayla g. s Electoral Commission and now the k r g says it is under straight from the same forces it worked with to defeat eisel in Northern Iraq. The peshmerga say they have voluntarily withdraw from an area south of. Tension with iraq it government forces. Being deployed to kirkuk and neither the k r g over the baghdad government willing to talk face to face unconditionally about the results of the controversial referendum there are. Potential new conflict in Northern Iraq. Bill well the shells are saying there of course that all feeds into the debate the very hot debate going on in the kurdish region in iraq following on from the session referendum less a little bit more deeply into that stuff is the head of the department of Foreign Relations with the kurdistan Regional Government he joins us now from moustapha kurdistan clearly does not see itself as part of iraq do you not though have a serious problem you are part of iraq and you will stay part of iraq. While in fact we are disappointed the overreaction of the International Community and baghdad what baghdad does is exactly collective punishment of the people of color to stand for something that we have done very peacefully and democratically we have committed ourselves to iraq and we will until we went to baghdad in two thousand and three to build a new federal democratic and pluralistic iraq but unfortunately it did not work and when we decided to go on a referendum we said that it does not mean that you need laterally we will declare independence the day after and this does not mean that we will define the borders of kurdistan region with all due respect the statements coming from baghdad this is not true there are not telling the truth because baghdad is behind the movement of the troops the deployment of the troops the build up and also the mobilization baghdad is the aggressor and if anything happens baghdad first and foremost will be accountable responsible for the consequences we have stayed where. We are and we have told baghdad that struck we have not committed a crime and we have not violated any law there very constitution that they mentioned they have violated more than fifty five times or in fifty five articles of that constitution therefore when the budget of course the star region was cut under fully and constitutionally and february twenty fourth what did baghdad do what did the religious and political establishment do what did the International Community do nobody came forward to stress or pressure like that i just need to interrupt you there because. Really relevant and of course it is put it slightly too far back into the backstory on this if mr allopathy in baghdad had reacted differently was there Something Else that he could have done or could have said that you would have felt more comfortable with that you could have accepted. Well in fact mr adie did not do anything that Prime Minister maliki did before because the budget was cut it was the police and there are body the peshmerga are denied their rights they did not get anything at there are body there for us we thought that we do not have any future in this country and thats why we say lets sit down and talk to each other but for baghdad to criminalize the referendum and to collectively punish the people of course the stand were not expecting anything in the horizon back that should act realistically and baghdad should not resort to the neighbors to interfere in the right direction while we are disappointed at the International Community and also in baghdad because baghdads parliament but thats parliament really if they send out their message it was a declaration of war are you not suggesting that highly amusing to see a dialogue with the can you have two issues as well that work against what you want to get kirkuk lies outside of your area the region that you would want to become kurdistan and on top of that Rex Tillerson some people are saying this Rex Tillerson has the. And crucially to tehran because there is a kurdish minority inside iran Rex Tillerson a signal to post baghdad and tehran guys you can do whatever you want here within reason. Well its back in fact as far as cook is concerned has always been part of kurdistan the fact that our forces were standing in a line in two thousand and three that the dog be that that has never been the boundaries of course the standard yes we actually. Saw it as a key. Fact that mr mustapha the key thing here is the. Problem is that. Absolutely not because the problem is that you always try to portray it as if its outside care g. Area but it has not been outside of court to stand region thats why we accepted article one forty so that we will determine the future status of that even today we have not done anything in order to bring that back we said that we will negotiate that with baghdad and we will reach a lasting solution yes indeed secretary of state unfortunately it has given my kind of a green light to baghdad to iran and others to hand the kurds and this was very unfortunate because we have been through friends allies and partners with the United States we have been together we have been partners in the fight against isis we have been together to share and care for the refugees and i. D. P. s in this region to provide protection for the national and religious minorities in fact instead of the people of course they stand to be rewarded and the world that we have been punished by back that the neighboring countries and the International Community but i would like i want to get one final point mr mr for as we have said on the areas there is talk of a summit at some point in the immediate near future would you accept and would you accept russian involvement in that summit given that theres been a lot of russian money pumped into those. Oilfields in kirkuk so if russia comes to the table and starts negotiating starts getting people to talk to other people theres a russian interest in there that you would have to accept if only financially because of the wealth thats literally coming out the ground. For as it is important to start the dialogue we are not for this collation we are not propose for provocation and we do not want to see any confrontation we have had a very painful and tragic past we want to have a Better Future so that it would be a summit put out of baghdad to sit down together and discuss these issues this is what we want we will not be rejected because at the end of the day the future for people is the most important thing for us we have to leave it there follow mustapha thank you so much for joining us from erbil we do appreciate your time here on aljazeera.

Impacted the creative reel 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 tried to stop the documentary being shown that here when it was shown its plane the festival budget was cut as a punishment leading some filmmakers to boycott this event of what they say with government interference.
