Education emergency we look at why indonesias report card is so bad. Irans Supreme Leader says not reaching a deal on Irans Nuclear program is better than making a bad deal. The ayatollah is referring to a Framework Agreement signed between iran and world powers in switzerland last month. President rouhanis warning that his country will not sign a final accord unless its accompanied by the lifting of sanctions. We will not sign any agreement unless all economic sanctions are lifted at once, on the very first day of the implementation of the agreement. A political analyst and journalist speaking from tehran said the comments from the leaders reflect their mistrust of the west. At the end of the day we want a way out of the current deadlock and we are not happy to see the standoff going on forever with the west. We are suffering. We are paying a heavy price for our program but now we want an end to this hostility and we want it ended right now. If there is a deal, they have to lift the sanctions today. Irans leader said that i support the continuation of talks, i just want to make sure that i am not making a mistake but at the end of the day the west is not trustworthy. If this is going to be the case, we have nothing to lose anymore we will attempted to our program and continue business as usual so they stand to lose, we also stand to lose, but the leader said that we will continue to hold talks even though they know they are not going to stick to their end of the bargain. I think he made it absolutely clear that we are here to do one thing, to prove to the International Community that the west cannot be trusted, they are not honest, they are here only to wage war. Iranian war ships have arrived in the gulf of aden. Iran said it is part of an anti piracy operation. U. S. Secretary of state john kerry is accusing iran of providing support to the houthi rebels. There have been, there are obviously supplies that have been coming from iran. There are flights every single week flying in. We traced those flights and know this. Were well aware of the support iran has been giving in yemen. Iran needs to recognize that the United States is not going to stand by while the region is destabilized or while people engage in overt warfare against our countries. Fighting has been taking place in aden where rockets have reportedly landed on houses. The World Health Organization said 643 people have died and more than 2200 injured since march 19. The first medical supplies have started arriving. Doctors without borders said aid that made it to some of the hospitals in aden. We are joined now by a former advisor to the last three yemeni Prime Ministers. I want to ask you first of all about secretary of state kerrys statements about iranian involvement and where things go from here. They are very much involved. They had two war ships arriving in the arabian sea. They are trying to show their muscles, but i think their caught wrong footed and overplaying their cards since they are very much not happy with the situation aggravated that nobody gave them yemen. If they think they were going to grab yemen on this deal, they were mistaken. Now they are saying the west is not trustworthy and trust only in waging war. Who is not trustworthy . We have been dealing with the houthis, they have signed five or six agreements and every time they negate on this. They are not trustworthy their allies are not trustworthy, they are only interested in waging war. What they are saying is their position. We are three weeks now into this saudiled campaign. What evidence is there at this point that the campaign is having any impact on the houthis on the ground and their positions there . Well, this is very much evident with the position, iranians are calling for, you know a ceasefire trying to push the russian position. They are withdrawing. They are caught in aden and have no option. The only option is to give up and to come back to the negotiates table. Thats the only option. How long can we expect this operation to last . I think the operation will last as long as objectives are not yet completely implemented. I think the objectives are clear, yemen has got to go back to the negotiation table and the other side will not retreat unless you say that is the end game. That is the position. We have been talking for nearly two years. We had a long, 10 months long dialogue conference and we came to counts that are really historical and could have reached a situation to make all happy. Now everyone is armed killing civilians, getting their militias in the streets. Civilians can be targeted. Perhaps they are targeted now civilians in aden. I want to talk more about the humanitarian situation. Its quite a desperate one as we reported hundreds of people have been killed. The longer this goes on, thats only going to get worse isnt it . Yes but there is a decision made by the arab allied forces that can easily get all of those, the neat help and could reach the civilians. We have spoken yesterday that we have agreed that aid could be chan he would through. Baddie. There is an agreement between the foreign Foreign Ministers in the these countries. If the needed aid reaches to. Baddie, it can easily be shipped to the aden port, the west side and east side of it and reach the people who need it will eventually get the help. Thanks very much. Foreign nationals have been fleeing yemen and returning to their homes but few have escaped the violence and some who have find themselves facing more problems. We have this report. They escaped the war in yemen only to get arrested in saudi arabia. These yemenese were picked up by Saudi Security forces after they managed to smuggle themselves across the border. If i could have entered legally, i would. I am simply trying to escape the war in yemen. I came here to find a job to feed my family. The war has destroyed everything in yemen. These Border Guards are called the mujahedeen, secondary to the army and report to the saudi minister of the interior, but their job is crucial. We are considered the second line of defense after the Border Guards. Ouring task is to prevent smuggling activity. The mujahedeen unit has been around since the establishment of saudi arabia. Many follow the foot steps of their forefathers. You can track a smuggler, but they are usually deeper and more spaced out. So far there hasnt been an exodus of yemenis trying to escape into saudi arabia, but if a ground offensive is launched or the wars continue, those patrolling this border could find themselves dealing with an in flux of refugees. Al jazeera. The parliament in pakistan is debating whether or not to send forces back to the saudi led cam lane in yemen. Irans foreign minister met with pakistans Prime Minister on thursday calling for peace talks. We have more from islamabad. The iranian Foreign Ministers into islamabad have created a perception that perhaps a diplomatic way could diffuse the crisis in yemen all this happening when parliament was continuing with its debate on the yemen crisis. That parliamentary session likely to last until friday evening, but the important thank that has come out of the meetings between the pakistani and iranians i also the fact that there is now some hope or perhaps a glimmer of hope to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis in yemen. Parliament is divided the opposition is warning it could pay a price and lead to a bigger conflagration. Lets see what the chairman of the Senate Committee had to say on the floor of parliament. Yemen is like a quick sand. There will be no winners in this conflict. We should ask our chinese friends in the u. N. Security council for a ceasefire. They should ask for dialogue and negotiations and they should ask for National Reconciliation in yemen leading to elections again in yemen. Pakistan and turkey should jointly cohost and we should invite the from of saudi arabia and foreign minister of iran either in istanbul or in jalalabad. The International Committee of the red cross and United Nations have called for immediate access to the yarmouk camp in syria to deliver muchneeded humanitarian aid. Thousands of syrian and Palestinian Refugees have been trapped there since isil fighters stormed the camp in damascus. At the moment, food, water and medication are scarce. They continue to inflict unimaginable pain and suffering to the 18,000 palestinian and syrian men women and children trapped inside yarmouk who survive under constant threat of armed violence and remain unable to access water food and basic health care. Calling for a pause in hostilities, humanitarian aid for civilians who needed assistance and safe evacuation of those who want to leaf yarmouk. A verdict is delivered in one of indias biggest court for fraud cases. Im at the checkpoint in garissa. Ill look into why kenyan somalis feel alienated by the government. The top stories on al jazeera, irans Supreme Leader says not reach a deal on the countrys Nuclear Program is better than making a bad deal. President rouhani warns that his country will not sign a final accord unless its accompanied by the lifting of sanctions. He also calls for a halt to the saudiled airstrikes in yemen. He said countries in the region should help bring yemenis to the negotiating table. Iranian war ships arrived in the duffel of aden. Iran said it is part of an anti piracy operation. Russia is hosting talks with the Syrian Government and some opposition physician of the ongoing conflict in syria. Sergey lavrov said they are moving closer to talks with bashar al assad. We are turning to our top story, the Iran Nuclear Deal and the new comments by that the countrys Supreme Leader. For more only, lets talk to an iranian author and journalist based in london. Thank you for being with us. We have now the comments coming from irans two main leaders the Supreme Leader saying that a bad deal is something that they would just walk away from, better than no deal at all and then we have the president saying sanctions have to be lifted as soon as the agreement is signed. Is this a sign, then, of iran trying to posture here and perhaps a negotiating ploy . I think what we are hearing both from the United States, as well as iran has got two purposes number one to calm the situation number two position themselves for as you have negotiations that will come at the end of june. I think we should expect the comments to be heard of. I am supporting the negotiators but there is no way to congratulate me at this stage because we have nothing concrete therefore be i think he is just reflecting the reality as it is, but president rouhani of course said we are interested in negotiations, we continue to do so, this is part of the first part of our attempt to open to the world and negotiate with everybody especially on yemen. He was very, very constructive saying there is a negotiated settlement for this purpose. How is this playing with the iranian public . I mean theres a sense isnt there, that the iranian leadership has to tread a fine line here, because the reactions from many iranians, we saw celebration in the streets at the news of a Framework Agreement, many of them obviously want this deal to happen but at the same time, many people in the hard line leadership there want to put on a strong face. Well, the people who came into the streets and celebrated, reflecting the general majority of sentiment in iran who want a better Economic Life and they want better relations with the world and thats something that president rouhani promised during his election campaign, therefore it wasnt surprising. I think the key factor is at the moment i think ayatollah and some of the hardliners is talking about is this overenthusiasm give the west the impression that iran is going to accept any deal that is offered. Therefore, we have to see everything in that context. If there is a deal by the end of june and that is still a big if at this point to what extent does that change the dynamic in the middle east as a whole . I think it changes the dynamic quite drastically. I think number one iran has achieved two things. Number one i mean first is that they have achieved a better relations with the west. Number two it has been recognized as a negotiating partner, and number three would be the economy really. The economy with the kind of powerhouse in the middle east, because iran has got a population of some 80 Million People who home run educated and have Economic Resources therefore its going to change the whole situation as far as iran is concerned. Above all i think considering the fact that iran is in an area full of tension no doubt the west would like to see how iran could be part of the solution for all these problems, or the problem itself. Good to speak to you, thank you. Now British Counter Terrorism Police are investigating the murder of a syrian born man in london. He was a well known critic of president bashar al assad. The father of six was found shot dead in a car. His community described him as a peaceful man. Greece has paid a 501 million loan installment to the International Monetary fund as per bailout agreement. On wednesday the greek Prime Minister less as i say tsipras signed a deal of Economic Cooperation with russia. Barnaby phillips is live for us in athens. They got their first payment out of the way but there is much more hardship for greece to come isnt there . Yes. It does appear that the greek government is living an increasingly hand to mouth existence, scraping money together when it needs it to repay to the i. M. F. , to repay interest to the central bank and to pay pensions and salaries here at home. The outlook is not clear. There is still serious agreement between greece and the European Union and greases various creditors. Until those are resolved, greece will not get its hands on 7 billion worth of money it is excited to under the existing old bailout agreement. Has the climate really changed at this point between greece and its creditors because we were led to believe at least Alexis Tsipras promised the greek people things would be different this time around, but it does seem as if there is much more difficult times ahead for people there. Theres now a lot of distrust between greece and its creditors. A lot of mutual suspicion. Certainly irritation over mr. Tsiprass trip to moscow and the fact that while he was there, he repeated the greek government position that it disagrees with the European Union sanctions against russia over its alleged interference in eastern ukraine. Then the house being this acrimonious row between greece and germany over the question of germany repaying reparations to greece because of the nazi occupation during the second world war. Those sorts of disagreements are poisoning the atmosphere and making a resolution on these tricky Economic Issues all the more difficult. Barnaby phillips reporting to us live from athens. Now the founder of a leading indians Software Company has been sentenced to seven years in prison for one of the largest frauds in the countrys corporate history. He his brother and eight others were convicted for a massive accounting fraud. We have more on the verdict from new delhi. Its taken six years for this case to come to some kind of end, and the man is expected to go to jail for seven years the big question Going Forward is how this sentence will actually be served and whether or not the around three years that he has already done in judicial be custody will count toward the seven. Various reactions across india and around the world as we go forward with this verdict and sentencing. There was expectations that he would be given the maximum 14 years in jail that was expected, or this kind of case can carry however, hes been given half of that. On the other side, there will just be a great sense of relief that this case has come to an end, that there is a definitive judgment in what is often described as indias biggest fraud case. It drew attention to the way the practices work in india and the way business is done in one of the worlds most promising emerging markets. There have been about that changes in terms of regulations put in by the securities and Exchange Board of india from 2009 and thats been some years. The question though is what kind of confidence will this bring back to Foreign Investors its a particularly stagnant time tutor indian economy. There will be hope that this boosts confidence in one of the Worlds Largest markets. Indonesias Education Minister said the schools there face emergency. Less than half the teachers were proper qualifications and schools core the lowest in the world in mathematics reading and science. We went to discover why. A few hours from the capitol and schools are in a deplorable state, holes in the roof, buildings half finished, putting children at risk. They decided to build their own school after the government refused to provide one. Money ran out before they could even finish it. This dropout from school is one of the teachers. I dont understand the learning material. Its very hard for me to explain things to the children. The schools principal said only once a School Inspector visited the village but never any funding was provided. Why do i keep trying although my means are limited . The reason is i really want to help these children. They are also indonesians. We have been living in an independent country for many years, but still children are learning and living like this. The government should really pay attention. To reach the school, the principal walks every day more than two hours. A road has yet to be built. The school testimony has been in crisis for many years and this is the reality. Due to a lack of Proper School buildings and professional school teachers, the workforce is among the least he had indicated in the region.

He wants to train 1. 7 million teachers in the next five years facing what he calls and emergency, he asked parents and Business Leaders to help. I would like to call pop the Business Community to jump in and help us. The Business Community is the recipients of our education product. The graduates of our schools are going to the private sectors so were calling the private sectors to jump in. Education activists say the government should do more to tackle this emergency asking the president to step in. Our School System is facing an emergency and something needs to be done fast, so the government talking about an emergency, what concrete steps do they want to take . We need to huge emergency room to fix this. It cant be done sporadically anymore. We need a facingwide effort. Many teachers are only paid 100 to 200 a month, like this teacher in west java, the government said more money has been paid for the salaries, but teachers need to improve the quality to. The future of the School Children is in their hands. In northeast kenya an uneasy relationship between locals and government officials has made it difficult to fatal shabab in the region.
