Has more now from. A historic three months long cease fire now over and in the worst way as the rebels resumed attacks in. Many hope for an extension of a truce which the violations have been considered a success. But on wednesday colombias last active rebel group perpetrated four attacks wounding two colombian marines and effecting an Important Oil pipeline colombian president Juan Manuel Santos spoke forcefully against them. Laura the government deplored the airlines decision to restart its terrorist attacks on the general public the armed forces and on parts of the National Infrastructure we were always i repeat always ready to extend the ceasefire with the airline and negotiate very quickly a new cycle of talks even will she have an illness. Inexplicably not only rejected this process but chose to restart their terrorist attacks on the very day that they were obliged to initiate the new round of negotiations. From quito where peace talks had been expected to resume elaine leaders said they were hopeful the talks could restart but then explain the reasoning behind the attacks made the lugosi writing table was making progress during the cease fire so we maintain the decision to give continuity to what we achieved what we need in a new ceasefire that overcomes the difficulties of the first one. President immediately recalled to the recently appointed negotiators for consultations experts say the failure to extend the ceasefire shows deep divisions among the leadership. We. Will win. The match. Is not only the probably what will happen with this cease fire is what will happen with the table and the general process between the government and.

This is going to be really tough theyre in a difficult situation from a strategic standpoint i kind of can understand why that yellen decided to take this right so the ceasefire was over technically and so they could have been attacked they could have very easily been attacked themselves and so i think they kind of sent the signal that were serious were not you know were not a defeated force were here were going to fight were willing to fight if you dont meet us seriously at the negotiating table and so i think the colombian government is going to have to save face and are most likely going to have to respond militarily but i hope and i you know i think over the long term for the for the short term its going to be a significant escalation of violence but hopefully over the long term you know everyone kind of saves face comes back to the negotiating table and cooler heads can prevail the violence has flared again between police and protesters in five tennessee and cities including the capital after a fourth day of demonstrations more than two hundred thirty people have been arrested in the wave of until austerity rallies demonstrators are angry over the governments plan price and tax hikes the opposition is calling for the twenty eight hundred budget to be scrapped the Prime Minister is saying the economy will improve this year what happened was that he said.

President to confirm every ninety days that irans up holding its part of the agreement trumps recertified the deal several times so far but things could be about to change last october he announced a new iran policy iran is not living up to the spirit of the deal i am announcing a new strategy to address the full range of irans destructive actions its a strategy many iranians believe is motivated simply by trumps growing support for israel i think on the tram u. S. And israeli interests are closely aligned and i think thomas main problem but iran is that a class of for that simple reason so for that reason i would also add that should iran and israels relationship. Which is not on the horizon any time soon you would see major changes in the wrong with. Trumps refusing to recertify the deal until Congress Amends it hes called for sanctions on irans revolutionary guard which he described as a corrupt personal terror force of irans leader he also wants to extend time limits on the countrys Nuclear Research and could tell its Missile Program but as congress didnt draw up the deal its not down to them to change it any alterations it makes to the president would be in breach of the International Agreement it leaves donald trump with two choices recertify the deal and keep it alive reject the deal violate the agreement and almost inevitably trigger an International Crisis neave aljazeera.
