Trump Refuses to Certify Iran Nuclear Deal Despite EU Criticism

US President Donald Trump announced he will not certify Tehran’s compliance with the Iran nuclear deal.

This means the US Congress now has 60 days to decide whether to re-impose sanctions against Iran and come up with new legislation to try and amend the deal.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani responded to Trump, saying it’s not up to any individual leader to make decisions about a global agreement.

Inside Story - What Is Next for the Iran Nuclear Deal?

US President Donald Trump is refusing to endorse the-two year old agreement between Tehran and world powers.

After months of bold talk and threats against Iran, the US president is laying out a new strategy to challenge the leadership in Tehran.

Donald Trump is refusing to certify the major nuclear deal signed with Iran two years ago. The Obama administration and six world powers agreed to lift long-running sanctions in return for Iranian promises to limit development of nuclear weapons. Trump says Iran is not meeting the conditions of the agreement. But he stopped short of completely withdrawing from it. Instead, he is asking Congress to consider new sanctions on Iran. Iran says Trump's allegations are delusional and world leaders have also been quick to condemn the US president.

Is Trump Slashing Healthcare Subsidies for the Poor to Decimate Obamacare & Cut Taxes for the Rich?

As President Trump moves to dismantle the Affordable Care Act in an executive order, and the White House announces it will stop paying billions of dollars in federal subsidies to insurance companies to help cover low-income people’s healthcare plans, we get response from Congress member Luis Gutiérrez, who says Trump’s dismantling of the ACA is an attempt to balance the budget. “It’s no coincidence that their next move is to give a tax break to the wealthiest in this nation,” Gutiérrez notes.

Assessing Trump: Is the President Fit for Office? – UpFront | Special Discussion

From pundits to US Senators and former officials, many have expressed concern that US President Donald Trump is mentally unfit for office. But the profession most capable of making this judgement—psychiatric and mental health experts and practitioners— have remained largely silent.

Mental health professionals usually abide by an ethical norm called the "Goldwater Rule", which states that "it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion [on a public figure] unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorisation for such a statement."

President Trump, however, is prompting some psychiatrists to speak out, arguing that his mental unfitness for office is apparent and uniquely dangerous.

"The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" is a new book that offers a collection of essays from 27 psychiatrists and mental health experts, all offering a bleak assessment of the president’s mental state. But is it even possible to diagnose Trump from afar in this way?

Bandy Lee, an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine and the editor of this new book, and Betty Teng, a trauma therapist and one of the contributors to it, join us to discuss their views and why they believe the US president is a danger to the world.

Editor’s note: Bandy Lee's assessments are her own views and do not represent those of Yale University.

Women in Saudi Arabia – The Secret Revolution | DW Documentary

Saudi Arabia was the only country in the world where women were not permitted to drive – until now.

King Salman’s has issued a decree to lift the ban. It is a victory for women’s rights, though many other restrictions remain. A new generation is pushing for change.

This film presents some of the pioneers who are seeking to improve the lot of Saudi women and reshape Saudi society. In December 2015, women were allowed to vote and to run as candidates in municipal elections for the first time. Rasha Hefzi was elected as a city councillor in Jeddah. When conservative men on the council said she should not sit in the chamber with them, she refused to play along. Hefzi belongs to a new generation of independent-minded Saudi women who are staking claims in the professions, business and, now, politics, and who are not afraid to voice criticism of Saudi society. Two female film makers from Germany spent several weeks in Saudi Arabia making this film about such exceptional women.

Asma al-Assad – The Beautiful Face of the Syrian Dictatorship | DW Documentary

Asma al-Assad, the First Lady of Syria and wife of president Bashar al-Assad, was initially a beacon of hope. Today, she is regarded as the dictator’s accomplice.

She grew up in London, went to elite schools and had a promising career. The former ambassador of the European Union to Syria, Frank Hesske, still gets a sparkle in his eyes when he talks about Asma al-Assad. She was ‘a darling’, and comparable to Princess Diana - and not just because of her British roots: ‘We diplomats,’ the former ambassador now reveals with surprising honesty, ‘let ourselves be seduced’. Many of the diplomats, politicians and journalists from the West who met the presidential couple during the 11 years after Assad took power and before the civil war broke out shared that fate: they let themselves be duped. Torture, arrests and threats were unleashed on all those who got in the way of the regime - just as under Assad’s father. There’s the famous opposition activist Riad Seif, whose daughter talks about the regime’s humiliations and the constant fear that her family could be taken by the secret police and her father killed. While the country remains as dark as ever, this film looks at Asma al-Assad’s international role as the face of the dictatorship, the woman from London who for a long time managed to make the Assads socially acceptable.

'Illegal' and 'irresponsible'. Those are the words of the Spanish Deputy Prime Minister who condemned Catalonia's leaders for Sunday's controversial secession referendum. Tens of thousands of Catalans turned out to vote. That led to violent scenes in some parts of Barcelona, when Spanish national police - sent from outside the region - tried to shut down polling stations and confiscate ballots.

In Madrid, the central government said police acted with 'professionalism' and in a 'proportionate way'. So, what does the future hold for Catalonia and Spain?

As Trump Struggles to Pronounce "Namibia," Meet One of the Country's Best-Known Journalists

The African nation of Namibia found itself in the news last week after President Trump mispronounced its name during a speech at the United Nations. Trump’s reference to the nonexistent Nambia left many observers confused as to whether he was referring to the Gambia or Zambia or Namibia. White House officials later clarified to say Trump meant to say Namibia. During that same speech, Trump congratulated African leaders for helping make his friends rich. We find out more from one of Namibia’s best-known journalists, Gwen Lister, who is in Paris to speak today at UNESCO. She is the founding editor of the independent newspaper The Namibian, which reported critically on the apartheid South African regime. During the 1980s, she was jailed twice, and her newspaper’s office was destroyed by arson. The building was later firebombed in the 1990s after Namibia became independent. Gwen Lister has since become a leading advocate for press freedom. She is a founding member of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which gained fame for publishing the Panama Papers, which exposed how the world’s rich used tax havens to hide their wealth. Gwen Lister is speaking today here at UNESCO to mark the International Day for the Universal Access to Information.

While Macron won in a landslide, opinion polls show most French voters now oppose how he has governed. On Saturday, leftist opposition leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon led up to 150,000 people in a protest against Macron and his attempt to rewrite France’s labor law. Meanwhile, human rights groups are criticizing Macron for pushing a new anti-terror law that would make permanent key parts of France’s state of emergency, which went into effect after the 2015 Paris attacks.

But will the royal go-ahead accelerate existing tensions in the Kingdom? And is it a major step towards gender equality in the male dominated society?
