iran lied. big time. after signing the deal, iran intensified efforts to hide its secret nuclear files. in 2017, iran moved its nuclear weapons files to a highly secret location in southern tehran. orabad district. this is where they kept the archives. right here. few iranians knew where it was. very few. and also a few israelis. from the outside, this was an innocent looking compound. it looks like a dilapidated warehouse. but from the inside, it contained iran's secret archives locked in massive files. actually, they are bigger than this. a few weeks ago, in a great intelligence achievement, israel obtained half a ton of the material inside these vaults. here is what we got -- 55,000 pages. another 55,000 files on 183 cd's. everything you are about to see is an exact copy of the iranian material. you may want to see the originals. they are in a very safe place. here is what we found -- incriminating charts, incriminating presentations, incriminating blueprints, incriminating photos, incriminating videos

who's on iran we disagree on the j.c. but i believe we can come up with something that can deal with the fundamental issue of the j.c. a which is the nuclear issue but also deal with these other three issues that are included. trump again suggested gulf nations need to make a larger financial investment in syria's future stability as security following the defeat of eisel the countries that. are there that you all know very well are immensely wealthy they're going to have to pay for this but the meeting appeared to do little to ease fears of a looming trade war with no sign trump had agreed to exempt the european union from tariffs on steel and aluminum imports set to take effect on may first we have a very first issue on trade which is overcapacity is still in a limb in him it doesn't come from europe and not even from friends can really help it al jazeera at the white house with the u.s. and france trying to resolve their differences there is no disagreement over iran's next news as we mentioned earlier its foreign mini

iran was required by the i.a.e.a. to come clean by the nuclear deal to come clean to the international atomic energy agency about its nuclear program this was an explicit condition for implementing the nuclear deal iran has to come clean so in december two thousand and fifteen the i.a.e.a. 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 i.a.e.a. they could tell the truth they could say that we had this program the secret program it's over and we showed that it doesn't exist we destroyed the material here's what iran actually told the. it said. iran denied the existence of a coordinated program aimed at the development of a nuclear explosive device and specifically denied that this specifically denied the existence of the amount planned. the material proves otherwise that iran authorized initiated and funded project ahmad a coordinated program aimed at the development of a nuclear explosive device here's

iran said to the i.a.e.a. . no work has been conducted with multipoint an issue this is multi-point initiation you've got to forgive this jargon the scientific terminology is something that is necessary to understand the production of nuclear weapons but here's what they say no work has been conducted with m.p.i. technology and hemispherical geometry but again the archives shows that this is a complete fabrication iran conducted extensive work with n.p.r. technology in hemispherical geometry is an example hundreds of more documents prove that iran said. to the agency that it did not conducted metallurgical work specifically designed for a nuclear device but the files again show that this is a lie iran conducted extensive metallurgical work specifically designed for a nuclear device it was an original winning photo plenty more in the in the archive so what i've shown you tonight. is just a fraction of the total material that we have but even from this sample. you can draw four main conclusions first iran lied abo

camps and iran. hezbollah possesses approximately 150,000 missiles. hezbollah provides the construction facilities near israel to produce more of these munitions. in that context, the former secretary of state described hezbollah as part of the political process in lebanon. i think we would be fools to disregard that but i just wonder if there's any concern from state that this tends to legitimize a violent theological extremist group who stated goal is to destroy israel? >> in no way do we intend to legitimize hezbollah. in no way do we distinguish between hezbollah's terrorist activities, its so-called military wing, from its so-called political wing. that's a distinction many in the world make. it is one we reject completely and have done historically. the same. >> i want to make sure that there's a bright line. >> there is. >> and i appreciate that. let me ask you this and maybe this for you, dr. mitchell. i'm sorry if i got that wrong. the eu seems to resist designating hezbollah in its entirety

iran lied. big time. , i ranigning the deal intensified efforts to hide it see clear -- secret nuclear files. iran moved its nuclear weapons files to a highly secret location. kept thehere they archives. right here. if you knew where it was. very few. a few israelis. from the outside this was an innocent looking compound. it looks like a dilapidated warehouse. containedide it archives locked in massive files. ago in a great intelligence achievement israel obtained half a ton of the material inside these vaults. here is what we got. pages. files on 183 cds. seeything you are about to is an exact copy of the iranian material. incriminating presentations. incriminating blueprints. -- criminalize it incriminating photos. incriminating videos, and more. we have shared this with the united states. united states can vouch for its authenticity. we will also share it with other countries and the international .tomic energy we have known for years i ran a secret nuclear weapons program. it was aove compre

with respect to iran in syria. we certainly identify and threatened to challenge, not just israel but to the reason as a whole. we have identified those concerns not only an hour dialogue with israel and the israeli security -- >> i apologize, i do not wish to had a fewut i just questions. the first one is, does the united states rely on russia to influence iran and the reason -- region? >> we have made clear to moscow that we have seen no region -- reason, even by action or inaction, what russia is doing in syria is a threat. >> if russia is unable to provide assurance that the syrian regime, or other iranian forces will cease violence in these areas, what is the next option for the united states? what do we do then? >> with respect to russia i will defer to my colleague. athave a variety of means our disposal which are under constant and active consideration to try to bring about the kinds of mitigation of harm and risk that we are all seeking in syria. those decisions lie in many cases with the president himself

who's on iran we disagree on the j.c. but i believe we can come up with something that can deal with the fundamental issue of the j.c. which is the nuclear issue but also deal with these other three issues that aren't included. trump again suggested gulf nations need to make a larger financial investment in syria's future stability and security following the defeat of eisel the countries that. are there that you all know very well are immensely wealthy they're going to have to pay for this but the meeting appeared to do little to ease fears of a looming trade war with no sign trump had agreed to exempt the european union from tariffs on steel of aluminum imports set to take effect on may first we have the very first issue on trade which is overcapacity is still in a limb in him it doesn't come from europe and not even from friends can really help it al-jazeera at the white house with the u.s. and france trying to resolve their differences there is no disagreement over iran's next news as we mentioned earlier its foreign m

iran is also fueling the humanitarian disaster in yemen with its houtis.of thei the iran nuclear deal has serious falls -- serious flaws. this committee has closely examined them. the administration is rightly working to address iran's ballistic missiles, to strengthen inspections and to fix the deal's sunset problem. the british, the french and the germans need to stand with us. the list of the region's other challenges is long. our relationship with turkey's strained as never before. it's military offensive against the kurds in syria has benefited isis. the kurdish syrian democratic forces we back now have to dever at -- now have to diverge their attention from the offenses they against isis to defense of action, defending from turkish military attack. turkey's increasing engagement with russia and iran is very concerning. in libya, radical jihadists remain strong. egypt is a critical partner in the fight against isis and should be supported, but its suppression of civil society risks backfiring. and hamas terrorists are inciting violence in gaza. as tempting as it is to say, enough

that the iran deal was to be preserved. now you are talking about a new deal with iran. why did you change your mind? did you join the stronger approach suggested by president trump? is it because he could not convince him and in addition, to think those that signed the agreement deal will follow you? [speaking french] >> i say there's no plan b, regarding iran, i've always been coherent. you can go back to what i say, the u.n. in september, always saying we needed to add until 2025, the ballistic deal in the region. i do not know what president trump will be but with his responsibility, the pillar of the framework, i'm not sayinm one deal to another, i am saying it's one aspect of the problem. i've never been critical of the deal that president trump has because i believe we can usefully add to it but no matter the decision that president trump will take, i would like to work on the duty, including what is already covered by the deal. ongoing -- the current nuclear activities, the long-term activities, ballistic activitie activities. over the past few weeks and for exam

iran lied. big time. after signing the nuclear deal in 2015, iran intensified its efforts to hide the secret nuclear files. in 2017, iran moved its nuclear weapon's filed to a highly secret district in southern teheran. this is where they kept the atomic archives right here. few iranians knew where it was. very few. and also few israelis. now from the outside, this was an innocent lookingly compound and looks like a dilapidated warehouse. but from the inside it contained the iranian atomic archives and look bigger than this. and in a great intelligence achievement a few weeks ago, israel obtained half a ton of the material inside of these vault and this is what we got. 55000 pages, another 55000 files on 183 cd's. everything you are about to see, is an exact copy of the original iranian material. you may want to know where are the originals? they are now in a very safe place. this is what the files included. incriminating documents, incriminating charts. incriminating presentation and blue printing. incri

iran quibbled with that. what iran's nuke deal is looking at an assessment.

iran lied. after signing the nuclear deal in 2015, iran intensified its efforts to hide its secret files. moved the weapons to a highly secret location. this is where they kept the atomic bombs. right here. few iranians knew where it was. very few. and also few israelis. outside, this was an innocent looking compound. it looks like a dilapidated warehouse. from the inside, it contains iran's secret archives, locked in massive files. they are a little bigger than this. a greateks ago, in intelligence achievement, israel obtained half a ton of the materials inside these halls. here is what we got. pages. files and 183 cds. seeything you are about to is an exact copy of the original material. you may want to know where are the originals? i can say they are now in a very safe place. these are what the files included. charts,s, incriminating incriminating presentations, incriminating blueprints, incriminating videos, and more. we share this material with the united states. the united states can vouch

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 t

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 existing deal is and we'll see what happens and we don't know what's going to happen but it didn't sound like donald trump has been swayed by mccraw in the talks no mr crow by by don't jump into a just as you said that it was interesting that especially when we left the press conference mr trump tied up syria with the iran deal saying the rich regional powers will he said will not only pay but put soldiers on the ground. yeah. very often when mr trump makes these statements it's very difficult to see what he actually means so which countries are these saudi arabia maybe which is the big regional arrival of iran i'm not so sure if putting saudi soldiers on the ground that might at some point face of directly with iranian militia or soldiers is such a good idea because that could be the first step towards a major war in the region there. which other countries he was

is that iran just simply can't be trusted. and he used information intelligence information that while new, in terms of what we're seeing on the screen today was publicly known. iran has denied in the past its nuclear program. that's not news to anyone. we've heard that for decades now. but the fact that they have complied so far with this agreement is sort of the central question right now. but prime minister netanyahu laid out the argument that iran can't be trusted, that they lied in the past and they are continuing to lie. have a listen. >> even after, iran continued to sprefrb and expand its nuclear weapons for future use. why would a terrorist regime hide and meticulously catalog its secret nuclear files if not to use them in a later date? >> reporter: so one of the important things here is to keep in mind that he didn't actually say that iran has reconstituted its nuclear program. essentially he said that the program has been put on the shelf that the files have been saved, that they've been lying about this program for

because the iran deal -- again, one has to remind people, iran has no nuclear weapons. this is a deal which freezes their program 20 years before north korea is, in a sense. >> i disagree with my friend elliot. look, i think the president has tweeted himself into a corner. first, if he tears up the iran deal on may 12th, as everyone expects, it does send a terrible message to kim jong-un, we are not worth the agreements we sign. and that's going to make it more difficult to negotiate something with kim. second, in calling it repeatedly a terrible deal, the worst deal in history, trump has set the bar very high for himself in any negotiation with north korea. is he going to be able to get the north koreans like he did with iran to actually dismantle the bulk of their program? is he going to be able to get the most intrusive inspections regime in the history of any arms control agreement? that's the bar he set for himself. we should be dreaming about getting an iran-like deal with north korea. that would make us infinitely more secure than we are now. i think that's a ver

news on iran we disagree on the j.c. but i believe we can come up with something that can deal with the fundamental issue of the j.c. which is the nuclear issue but also deal with these other three issues that are included. trump again suggested gulf nations need to make a larger financial investment in syria's future stability as security following the defeat of eisel the countries that are there that you all know very well are immensely wealthy they're going to have to pay for this but the meeting appeared to do little to ease fears of a looming trade war with no sign trump had agreed to exempt the european union from tariffs and steel. live a little bit of imports set to take effect on may first we have the very first issue on trade which is overcapacity is still in a limb in him it doesn't come from europe and not even from friends can really help it al-jazeera at the white house with the u.s. and france trying to resolve their differences there is no disagreement over iran's next news as we mentioned earlier its for

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 the files included incriminating documents incriminating charts incriminating presentations incriminating blueprints incriminating photos incriminating videos and more we've shared this material with th

but it was more to do with the planet than with iran i confirmed there is no plan for iran if you followed. the driver that. said. the un had ordered the general assembly last september. to be completed by five additional pillars ballistix regional influence instability i don't know the position the president will take on the g c p a and it's his responsibility to g.c. is the first pillar of this agreement that i've just as. i've just talked about i haven't said that one doesn't go from one agreement and another is one aspect of the aspects of republic have not been as critical as present i believe we can add to it. whatever the decision by president tran of the future and if it was it decided to come out of it i wish that as of now we can have i knew agreement over the four pillars what is today treated by the g.c.c. the current nuclear activity and after twenty twenty five the region situation and the ballistic activity there is no change at all. there is consistency but we're able over the last few weeks and most specifically to the end of a discussion which is vital only situation in t

iran. -- has sought to assure us that it sees this cooperation as a necessary steppingstone towards process -- progress and the geneva process. the ease with which -- to facilitate the operation olive branch, arrangements to which america was not privy, was greatly concerning. theas agreed to purchase russian missile system which could potentially lead to sanctions and adversely impact turkey's participation in the f-35 program. it is in the american national interest to see turkey remain aligned with the west. our policy has been to combine close engagement with clear messaging, that the united states will actively defend our interests. we haveontext of syria, engaged in high-level interagency discussions, to -- and avoid inadvertent collisions between our forces. these conversations are ongoing. moving forward, our aim is to enlist turkey as a more active ally. the defeat of isis and stabilization of syria, as well as a long-term factor in thwarting the expansion of russia and iran. let u

we therefore shall, together with the regional powers and iran, and in the context ofa powers and iran, and 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 t

those backers are iran and russia. the administration has said on multiple occasions that russia and iran are complicit in assad's chemical weapons attacks. so i just ask another question here. does the administration support imposing costs on the russians and the iranians for their role in the assad regime's war crimes against its own people? >> mr. chairman, the administration has taken steps with respect to both iran, iranian supported proxy forces, notably hezbollah, and with respect to russia for engagement variously in the kind of proliferation, criminal behaviors, and actions both in syria and outside syria that you reference. and we will continue to act aggressively to use the authorities available to us to that end. >> one area that i think is, if i could just close here, i hope that the senate, with a lot of pressure from the administration and us, will move quickly on the seizure civilian protection act, the seizure syrian civilian protection act, in order to put this into law. and i think that that will hel

they say that iran can't be trusted because in the 1990s and two thousands iran lied about the nuclear program. and it is a estimate that iran is cataloging the past nuclear program. >> even after the deal, iran continued to preserve and expand the nuclear weapons for future use. why would a terrorist regime hide and meticulously cat log its secret nuclear files if not to use them at a later date. >> reporter: while netanyahu implied it. he did not lay out a case of iran starting the nuclear program. the secretary praised the overall deal. >> it is written with the assumption that iran would try to cheat. so the verification much what is in there is pretty robust. >> reporter: iran's foreign minister mocked netanyahu for the speech writing on twitter. the boy who can't stop crying wolf is at it again. undeterred by the cartoon fiasco. you can only fool some of the people some of the times. >> the debate over the nuclear agreement comes as tensions are heating up between syria and israel and iran. israeli jets struck at iranian targets inside of syria. >> bret: thank you. president trum

iran -- it is always there. and we're not going to allow certain things to happen that are happening. and the iran deal is a disaster. they're testing missiles. what is that all about? you look at the ballistic missiles that they're going and testing, what kind of a deal is it where you're allowed to test missiles, all over the place. what kind of a deal is it when you don't talk about yemen and you don't talk about all of the other problems that we have with respect to iran, especially look at what they're doing in iraq. you just take a look at what is happening in any -- virtually any place in the middle east, iran is behind it. so what kind of a deal is this? where it wasn't even discussed? and i know john kerry made the statement that he didn't want to discuss other things while he was making the deal, despite all of the money that we gave them, he didn't want to discuss it because it was too complicated. that's not the way to do it. because it was too complicated. we made this terrible deal, but we'll be di

bank of iran? how does that impact everything that we talked about from -- i'll leave that to you. how does that impact everything we talked about. the adventurism, ballistic missile technology? >> it's a potential game changer. truly. when we look at right before the jcpoa, one of the tragedies of the nuclear deal was the increasing amount of leverage the united states had over iran and it was increasing rapidly. the iranians wanted to talk. they wanted a deal. they wanted sanctions relief fast. the combination of the central bank sanctions which include the oil reductions along with going after insurance and reinsurance and the tankers of iran down th exchange reserves overseas, they were having a balance of payment crisis, and all their banks had been disconnected including the central bank in the swift disconnection in europe, those two together got their attention very fast, very fast, and combined with the existence of a credible military threat, especially at the time from israel, they were

president will decide the fate of the iran nuclear deal iran says that israel is crying wolf also coming up deadly blast in afghanistan coordinated suicide bombings leave a trail of bloodshed wreaking havoc in the capital kabul in a separate sacking to sell the eleven children have been killed. it's good to have you with us we begin tonight with israel and what it calls an intelligence coup israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu went on prime time t.v. to present what he says is proof that iran has always lied about its nuclear weapons program tehran immediately issuing a clear rejection saying the israeli prime minister is doing nothing but crying wolf well here in europe germany is defending the nuclear deal and has called for an immediate investigation into netanyahu is claims and here is part of what the israeli prime minister said earlier today 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 got. fifty five thousand pages. another fifty five thousand files and one hundred eighty three c.d.'s in

first topic is iran. you said once again in front of the press with your position was during the campaign and as well as president of the united states. it's not a mystery, we did not have the same starting positions stances, and neither you nor i have a habit of changing our stances or going with the wind. that being said i can say that we have had very frank discussions, discussion on, just the two of us. you considered the iranian deal the jcpoa, the one negotiated in 2015 with iran is a bad deal. for a number of months i say it is not a sufficient deal but it enables at least until 2025, to have some control over their nuclear activities. we therefore wish from now on to work on a new deals with what we need and i believe that on that, our discussions allowed us to shed light on our convergence is that we need to cover four topics. the first one is to block any nuclear activity of iran until 2025. this was feasible thanks to the jcpoa. the second is to make sure in the long run there is nuclear irania

the region and iran's ambition to dominate the middle east the remains of people thought that iran's aggression would be moderated as a result of signing to do the opposite has happened and iran is trying to gobble up one country after the other both men welcome the u.s. embassy move from tel aviv to jerusalem for the fourteenth of may the day the israeli state was declared seventy years ago on maintain that final boundaries within jerusalem were up for negotiation that the us was committed to a lasting peace between israel and the palestinians there was no mention though of the recent demonstrations along the gaza border fence where israeli snipers have shot unarmed protesters killing dozens and injuring hundreds my pompei was a different proposition from his predecessor rex tillerson who spent most of his tenure as secretary of state in a state of at best semi detachment from the white house on pay it was seen as very close to president trump in particular on the issue of iran and so that gives his words extra weight even perhaps especially when they mirror one of to listens freque

getting in eliminating an enemy of iran and then getting out and leave iran actually we are not going to do this in syria so after defeat the defeat we are not going to allow iran to take control in this part of the world so it was clear to me from that time that the united states will be doing something in order to do to reach that containing iran so by striking now at the installations might by having this and at least like i think that was somehow. a message also sent to iran that we will not accept any sort of iranian military presence in syria there is an easy read. dyess air base last week was also another message that will not allow any sort of iranian military presence in syria so iran is the key objective right now just some was dropping from iran's revolutionary guard let's just use events will certainly not be in america's interest that's from the fars news agency and of course iran has an influence in that it's keeping its american involvement both in syria and in iraq there's involvement in the northeast of syria and also advisors in iraq you know this has to be a concern

if we are going to counter iran's abuses, iran's terrorism, iran's threats to our troops and our national security interests, we must work with our partners around the globe. we will stand together against repression and the violation of human rights. we will stand together against religious persecution. we will stand together for the rule of law and democratic values, and taking hostages and violating the most fundamental values that cut to the core of our dignity as human beings is unacceptable to this congress and to members of the international community. i urge all of my colleagues to stand up to iran's rogue regime, to stand up for human rights and for the people of iran, to stand with the levinsons and the other families whose loved ones are missing from their lives, and to fight for their return home by supporting this bill. please support h.r. 4744, and together we will stand for basic human rights. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentleman from california. mr. royce: i yield three minutes to the gentlelady from florida, ileana ros

he was talking about iran there. that's pretty good because we know his mission while macron was here was to keep the united states staying in the iran deal. those prospects seemed very dim in the last hour, but there the president seemed very open to that suggestion. they said they wanted a better deal. just yesterday sarah sanders was saying she believes the president is the best negotiator to have at a table for something like that. but the question is where they're going to end up where they leave. now they're at the business part, kate. >> i feel like i just need to end this by saying, but wait, there's more. we're looking inside the white house where the president and president macron will be holding a joint press conference any minute now. stay tuned. we'll be back with more after this. have laser drilled holes. they release medicine fast, for fast pain relief. tylenol® almost $800 when we switched our auto and home insurance. with liberty, we could afford a real babysitter instead of your brother. hey! oh, t

president will be tested on issues ranging from syria to the future of the iran nuclear deal with iran maintains it's in compliance with the twenty fifteen agreement which the u.s. signed with iran and european allies back favors keeping the deal as does german chancellor angela merkel who also visits the white house this week the deal was one of the worst and most one sided transactions the united states has ever entered into but troubles vowed to withdraw by mid may unless european allies fix certain aspects of the agreement including improving inspections of iran's nuclear programs so far that hasn't happened trumps recent appointment of john bolton to national security advisor and his nomination of mike pompei oh to be secretary of state both of whom have criticized the agreement have caused even more concern about the deals future in less. donald trump must decide whether to allow iran sanctions to be put back in place effectively killing the deal that makes the influence of emanuel mccraw and angola merkel pivotal. whether or not the iran agreement remain intact kimberly help at

yet to write a lesson from the nuclear the nuclear crisis between iran and the west iran and the war continued for twelve years when they decided specifically president obama decided to engage constructively me to have peaceful negotiation to have mutual respect then they could settle one of them the most important and critical issues between iran and the west practically after lucian one hundred seventy nine now president maccaroni saying we should keep the deal and we will be fighting iran in the region the lesson from disappearing. there is if you were in gauge constructively with iran you would be able also to help to resolve the regional crisis would cooperate for peaceful management of the regional crisis but if you are going to fight with iran in the region in detention the animosity between on and the west would increase and the finitely sooner or related we will witness the death of nuclear lives in nicaragua president daniel ortega says he will withdraw the proposed pension reforms that sparked a wave of protests that killed twenty six people dozens of shops in the capital

can you give us the two of you on iran. can you give usa the two of you on iran. can you give us a sense the two of you on iran. can you give us a sense of what that might be hand are you confident you will have assurances from president trump that the european union will be excluded from tariffs on steel and aluminium? as for the second question, ijust wa nt as for the second question, ijust want to be clear on the trade issue. when you look at the trade issue between our two countries, they are balance. there is no unbalanced literature. second, we are following and respecting stability of rules because we are the one who contributed to the creation of the union and it makes sense to respect the rules we decided to create. in life that is a good method. third, because i do believe that we have a very serious issues, which is ove rca pacity very serious issues, which is overcapacity in steel and aluminium, and it's good to work together, and especially when you work so closely together on security issues like iran and syria. so i'm confident about the future of t

rather than climate iran. now regarding iran. i've always been coherent and you can go back to what i said at the u.n. general assembly in september. i always say that there was the jcpoa but we needed to add three pillars. through 2025, the ballistic and the regional influence. i do not know what president trump will decide regarding the jcpoa. it's his responsibility. the jcpoa is the first pillar of this framework i described. so i'm not saying that we're moving from one deal to another. i'm saying it is one aspect of the problem. i've never been critical of the jcpoa as president trump has because i believe we can usefully add to it. but no matter the decision that president trump will take, i would like us to work on a new deal with four pillars, including what is already covered by the jcpoa, that is the ongoing -- i mean, the current nuclear activity, the other activities, the ballistic activities and the regional influence. so this is constant. but over the past few weeks and today, we've been attempting to very much talk

iran lied. big time. after signing the nuclear deal in 2015, iran intensified its efforts to hide its secret nuclear weapons. in 2015, iran moved its nuclear file to a secretly contained area in iran. this is where they kept the atomic archives. right here. few iranians 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 didlapidated warehouse. on the inside, it contains nuclear weapons in massive files. they're a little bigger than this. 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 got. 55,000 pages, another 55,000 files on 183 cds. everything you're about to see is an exact copy of the original uranium material. you may want to know where are the originals? well, i can say they're now in a very safe place. here's what the files included. incriminating documents, incriminating charts, incriminating presentations, incriminating blueprint

first is iran. you said once again in front of the press what your position was during the campaign as well as the president of the united states. it is not a mystery -- [inaudible] and neither you nor i have a habit of tending our expenses are going with the wind. that being said, i can say that we had a very different discussion on not just the two of us. you consider that the iranian deal, the one negotiated in 2015 is a bad deal. for a number of months, i've been saying that this was not the best deal, but at least until 2025 to have some control over the activities. we therefore reach to work on a new deal with iran. [speaking in french] >> translator: what we need, and i believe the discussions allowed to shed light and we need to govern for topics. the first one is to block any nuclear activity of iran until 2025. the second is to make sure in the long run there's no nuclear or her brain and neck cavity. the third topic is to be able to put an end to the ballistic activities of iran in the re

in iran were critical of it they were saying that iran has given too many confession but ultimately when the iranians decided to sign those critics and those who supported the agreement they all agreed that you're on must abide by its commitments over the last couple of years more than two years the iranians have been abiding by their side of the border bargain and the americans haven't. a leg conversation has revealed the u.s. democratic party's leadership pressured a candidate for a house seat in colorado to drop out of the race he would like to get. i know your fund raising. you guys are selling money. i'm. someone and then i read primary. you report that. the vitamin had been focusing his campaign on clean elections skull that in climate change and improving the health care system in the u.s. he was endorsed by the state senator last night that was later asked to drop out of the race the house minority leader has defended the move. i don't see anything inappropriate let. mr hoyer was engaged in a conversation about the realities of life in a race as to who can win the general electio

we will talk about more of iran ina progress. we will talk about more of iran in a moment. michael? we talk about the north korea pictures. thursday we would have been talking about the dandruff picture. things change, move very quickly. the meeting is as much about economic issues as anything. i do not think anyone is under any illusion as to whose voice donald trump listened to on iran. they are domestic political things happening, whispering in his earandi things happening, whispering in his earand i think things happening, whispering in his ear and i think an emotional inclination to distrust the irani regime. what they are worried about are the tariffs as actions against russia and this morning, for example, one of the things that is critical to germany is the price of aluminium. russia provides a tremendous amount of the aluminium that goes into holding at bus planes and this morning the oligarch who is under sanction by the us and made importing and purchasing the stuff more difficult has stepped aside. he is leaving the company. these sorts of things, when you read them afte

and for iran's female weightlifter us all together. marry me did i want to date i think it what men can do women can do to in the first five or six months since we started weightlifting we've already broken more than half of the women's weightlifting records that's glorious while i was up with only if they caught it at glory they plan to continue at this week's tournaments and beyond confident well prepared and determined to show the world how strong iranian women can be. well there is a us back story to this development for iranian women weightlifters to talk about that i'm joined tonight by ursula garza she is the president of usa weightlifting and vice president of the international weightlifting federation she's the first woman to hold both of these positions she joins me tonight from austin texas welcome to the day you were also if i understand correctly the first woman to coach a man in weightlifting competition in iran and that happened just this year back in . talk about what that would talk to me about what that was like and h

and saudi arabia say such missiles come from iran or command that took it and we also think that iran should be dealt with by imposing further sanctions further violations of international laws relating to ballistic missiles. iranian missiles are a chief concern of israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu his focus on the risk of being fired from iranian bases in syria and by hezbollah from lebanon with his talk of a u.s. pullout from the iran deal and new sanctions against tehran pompei as language was almost into changeable with netanyahu we remain deeply concerned about iran's dangerous escalation of threats to israel in the region and iran's ambition to dominate the middle east remains that people thought that iran's aggression would be moderated as a result of signing the do the opposite has happened and iran is trying to gobble up one country after the other both men welcome the u.s. embassy move from tel aviv to jerusalem for the fourteenth of may the day the israeli state was declared seventy years ago maintained that final boundaries within jerusalem were up for negotiation

nuclear situation now and the iran nuclear situation in the future, iran's ballistic missiles and regional peace and security and that's something of interest to the president and worth pursuing. but in terms specifically of the nuclear deal, there's no decision on that yet. chris: but i guess what i'm asking is does he feel that the deal itself is fatally flawed or does he think if you address some of the other concerns like ballistic missiles, like the sunset clause, like the regional actions as bad actor around the world that he -- you could fix the deal? >> well -- chris: fixable is really the question. >> implies that the other steps wouldn't really address that concern, look, it's possible in the discussions with european allies that we will be able to see some possibility there. he would make the decision when it's appropriate to make the decision and that's be up to may 12th. chris: finally, we have been colleagues and gotten along but you are a controversial figure in washington and i want to talk briefly about that, former secretary powell said of ewe publicly, he's absolutely br

another guarantor is iran. they have a serious implication in the chemical attack and yes we should homed russia accountable. how do we go about doing that. we need to build a coalition. turkey, israel and other countries in the area, iraq and all of those countries have a stake of what happens in syria. we need a strategy buildum. and we need alliance with europe and nato. and one other thing, the people that were talking here. walid was going in laying out part of the problem that exists. clearly the obama administration fame would in its attempt to deal with the syrian situation. they did have a strategy and it did not work. they were unable to identify an organization or subsets of the resistance to work with. and turned out most of them were bad actors and so yes, that was a serious problem and a failure of the obama administration. we don't need another failure here. it is it pretty clear going forward we'll have to deal with assad sometime in the future. how can we do that? >> all right. thank you. >> th

i think it is against interests of thought iran that we don't have any ambitions to the store iran. what we need is security, time come and possibility to develop our economy, science, technology. israel is a third world nation. with and have ambitions to come back to gaza, syria. please, forget about us. >> let's turn to the situation on the gaza border, which he spoke about earlier in your remarks. we are in the run-up to may 15. we have seen various levels of border conflicts. what do you expect? do you think there will be an entirely new level of conflict? how would you evaluate your own response to dealing with the conflict over the last number of weeks? >> first of all, i hope a new conflict with the people in gaza -- as i mentioned, we don't have any ambitions to come back to the gaza strip. not to establish new settlements, nothing. you have your gaza strip, please concentrate on your efforts to build you society, new entity. it is not our business. but, if they tried to provoke us and to launch missiles, to damage our sovereignty, to penetrate to israel, we will do everythi

that the current iran deal is not sufficient but that that controls some of iran's nuclear activities until twenty twenty five and then the press that's the french president is ready to work on the new deal so his strategy here seems to be to tell mr trump let's stick to the current deal please do not pull out of it and while we are working to try to achieve a better deal a deal that would be addressing other problems like iran's activities in places like yemen and syria and iran missile program and alexander we know that this is a week of european lobbying in washington very german chancellor she's expected in washington on friday will i'm going to merkel is she going to get such a warm welcoming reception the way mr macro got today at the white house. i don't think so at the visits are totally different the german chancellor is coming to the white house on friday as you said it will be a working so there are going to be a few meetings in the white house and a joint press conference no there are no military will come ceremony and we have to say that the german chancellor has been mor

special report on weight lifting muscles and raising the bar on women's rights in iran. what men can do women can do to we've already broken more than half of the women to weightlifting records that's glory and say. oh we begin the day asking how much influence does the french president. really have over us president dogwood truong mccrone is in washington on his first state visit since truck took office and both men have referred to the u.s. france relationship as special but even more so they say their personal relationship is something special although they began with trunk telling reporters that the iran. nuclear deal is insanity tough talk but nothing new there well then trump and went into private talks and when they emerged while the plan b. which macron had said does not exist suddenly appear trump sounded as if he is willing to let the iran deal stand as long as a new deal is negotiated to add on to the existing one now that left a lot of unanswered questions but it did expand on one burning topic in paris washington and even here in berlin that budding bromance

iran. we will talk about the latest. then we look at the increasing number of women who have suffered a miscarriage and are then forced by their catholic health care provider to bury the fetal remains. >> i want you to know that my daughter was re-traumatized. she was already devastated by the miscarriage, in that had to be re-traumatized by this coercion of how the provider shows, not how my daughter shows, but how the provider chose to dispose of the fetal remains. amy: plus, we will go to tucson to speak with immigrant rights and reproductive justice activist alejandra pablos who has just been released from 40 days in ice detention. >> we're goingng to ask the governor to do the rigight thing and to pardon me and let me stay here without f fear. i'm tired of feeling scared. i'm tired of being persecuted for just defending my life. amy: all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. a fefederal judge hahas ruled te trum

a legitimized iran and it flooded iran with cash. those are some of the objections of president trump had in one of the major problems that i have had and many critics of the iran deal have had is we never got to the bottom of the military dimension of the military program and that's what the prime minister is pointing to. they have been lying and you cannot trust the regime that has been lying about the dimensions of its nuclear program to begin with. david: there are two sides to this debate. please the french and the german trying to convince us to stay in the deal and today we saw our israeli allies tried to convince us to get out of the deal. how do we balance those two allies with their various approaches to this? >> the reason that israel care so much as israel is the one with the giant target on his back. it's one of our closest if not our closest allies and they are the ones that are being targeted by iran. david: we should also mention they are targeting iranians working in syria. it's not only the nukes if the iranian agen
