as the iran nuclear deal is going this national security adviser his new national security advisor john bolton was on the morning talk shows today and says as far as the around deal is concerned there is no decision at this point he said that the white house is considering those four pillars that french president emmanuel mccrone laid out last week while he was here in washington which meant keeping the deal staying in the deal but expanding it and of course when angela merkel was here later in the week she also reinforced that position but the clock is ticking the president has until may twelfth to make a decision whether the u.s. is going to stay in that deal or scrap it it's less than two weeks away the president has made no secret of the fact that he's never liked the deal so it remains to be seen what is going to happen but again the clock is ticking as less than two weeks to decide. and. has already shown himself as secretary of state is keen to move swiftly how does his approach compared to his predecessor rights to listen. well he's much different he's much more hawkish than rex

front wanted to replace him is proposing a controversial amnesty for some suspects from mexico city john home and reports. a country suffering record levels of violence governed by a president who many believe has run out of answers that's mexico where murders have risen to the highest point in two decades. but in a couple of months a new leader will be elected the first presidential debate was the chance for candidates to say exactly how they'll stop the killing the country was looking on it may have been disappointed bullets were brandished graphs were held aloft but beneath the posturing analysts said that fresh ideas were lacking the one brand new one this is the more. we need to chop the hands of any public servants who steal it's not a bad thing even the moderates was dumb. i would explain to me but if a lot of the proposals were less extreme but very general more and better trained police a truly independent attorney general and the increase in intelligence gathering capacities to deal with organized crime it's all been heard before and there was little details of why it will work

john how many is monitoring developments from mexico city. it was a surprise announcement president daniel ortega coming out to say that he was canceling changes to the social security system in nicaragua and the payments that people and companies would have to make into the system it comes after five days of protest which have spread not just to the capital but other cities now why did president take a make that announcement well he's come under pressure not just from the united states and the european union but also from the u.n. and the pope they've all expressed concern about events in the country there's been concern also within the country about the heavy handed tactics that people have said the police have used against the protesters there have been multiple deaths including police officers and there are also been many injuries now the question will be if president takers climbdown is going to be enough to stop the protests they've become about more than just the issue of the social security payments but about the legitimacy of the pre

john harmon has been following this story for us from mexico city so john this would appear to be a change in tone and from the from the nicaraguan president. it certainly is it's a climbdown it's difficult call it anything different from that but also what's important and interesting isn't just what he said but who was around him when he said it yesterday president came out to give quite an uncompromising speech and he was flanked by his police chief and also by military personnel this time around he came out a couple of hours ago and he was flanked instead by business leaders and that may be a sign not just of the softening of approach but that the president and his government need to find some allies in this the business community which is powerful in the could arguably usually been on the same page as him but there's been a bit of a rupture since yesterday in which they began to side with the protesters and saying that they wouldn't dialogue with the government until they stop the heavy handed tactics so this might be an attempt to get them back on side yet to see if it will succeed th

and john these protests they are just about this time i. know you're exactly right it's not just about social security although that may be how it started off it started off actually when the government decided that among other things it would have to take five percent of people's pensions away from them and put it towards other things like medical expenses and that was what got people riled but since it's begun it's really exposed the underlying political tensions in nicaragua this is a country in which many people think the president or take has been undermining democratic institutions to try and hang on to power and also turning it into a little bit of a family business his vice president for example is his wife or a saudi and what do you owe those tensions continue in the country and of course it's a protests have begun we're talking about as you said approximately twenty people dead according to human rights organizations in the country so that's just left movings one of the dead is a journalist who was filming on facebook life of what

says ten people have been killed in four days of protests rights groups put the death toll much higher john home and has more on what's behind the rest. president will take to finally came out and address the country after a full days of protest in nicaragua and what he said wasn't that conciliatory towards the protesters became outflanked not just by his cabinet but also by military and police figures which in itself tells a story of what he had to say was that the protesters might have shadowy political figures to hide them so that didn't really seem an address. attempting to reach out to the protesters to try and find some sort of dialogue and these are protests the aren't just happening in the capital minard work but also in several other cities in the country the spark that really lit them seem to have been about changes to the social security structure mechanisms in the country but also there's been tension in this country before then president will take is seen by n.g.o.s and also by analysts have been undermining democratic institutions in the country in the bid to hang on to power
