'Hillary Clinton has to go to jail': Donald Trump goes into full attack mode after Clinton’s scorching speech

Donald Trump hit back at Hillary Clinton at a rally in San Jose Thursday evening, declaring that the Democratic frontrunner “has to go to jail” and is “guilty as hell."
“Hillary Clinton has to go to jail. Alright I said it. She has to go to jail,” he said.
“The fact that they even allow her to participate in this race is a disgrace to the United States, is a disgrace to our nation."
Trump’s shots at Clinton came after a fiery foreign policy speech she gave earlier the same day, during which she denounced Trump’s policy proposals as “as a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies" and declared that electing him would be a “historic mistake."
While Trump didn’t go into detail about the arguments Clinton made in her speech, he called it "phony" and a "Donald Trump hit job," and lambasted her for her ongoing email scandal.
He also suggested Clinton only supports President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran because she’s worried about facing jail time.
He said he's confident the FBI will indict her, and said if he wins the presidency, his attorney general will "take a very good look into it."
“The only reason she’s behaving like this, and the only reason she’s been dragged so far left, believe me, is she doesn’t want to go to jail over the emails."

Inside Kim Jong-un's pleasure squad which includes virgin schoolgirls chosen to serve North Korea's elite

According to new reports, North Korea's Kim Jong-un's secret "Pleasure Squad" includes schoolgirls as young as 13. The girls are allegedly picked at random by soldiers, sometimes the teenagers are picked from their own school and forced to serve a small military circle of North Korea's top social elite. These teenage girls are part of what is known as the leader’s Gippeumjo, or Pleasure Squad.

Their medical histories are monitored by the regime and routine checkups are performed to make sure their virginity is intact.
The claims were made by a couple of defectors that managed to escape the tyrannical country.

One of the escapees told her story to Marie Claire in 2010 after she escaped to South Korea. She said she was 15 years old when guards took her from her classroom without warning and asked her if she had ever had sex with a boy, when she said  No, they took her away.
She spent a full decade servicing Kim Jong-il, the father of Kim Jong-un, who never called on her for sex, but she believes he would have if she had stayed longer.

Other femaless have spoken of wild sex parties where men would shave their heads and women would have their pubic area shaved. It is believed Kim disbanded the group who entertained his father Kim Jong-Il when he came to power in 2011.

But now Kim, who is married to singer Ri Sol-ju and has a daughter, has renewed the tradition and sent out his officials to recruit "tall and beautiful" young women for the pleasure of the elite in his circle of friends.

One source told Chosun Ilbo that the women are currently staying at the centerpiece Koryo Hotel in Pyongyang undergoing security training.

Kim Jong-un allegedly decided to resurrect the tradition when he was being treated for gout last year and was waited on by a lot of tall, beautiful women.

1500-Year-Old Bible Confirms That Jesus Christ Was Not Crucified – Vatican In Awe

Much to the dismay of the Vatican, an approx. 1500-2000 year old bible was found in Turkey, in the Ethnography Museum of Ankara.
Discovered and kept secret in the year 2000, the book contains the Gospel of Barnabas – a disciple of Christ – which shows that Jesus was not crucified, nor was he the son of God, but a Prophet.  The book also calls Apostle Paul “The Impostor”.  The book also claims that Jesus ascended to heaven alive, and that Judas Iscariot was crucified in his place.

A report by The National Turk says that the Bible was seized from a gang of smugglers in a Mediterranean-area operation. The report states the gang was charged with smuggling antiquities, illegal excavations, and the possession of explosives.  The books itself is valued as high as 40 Million Turkish Liras (approx. 28 mil. Dollars).  Man, where is the Thieves Guild, when you need them?

Authenticity

According to reports, experts and religious authorities in Tehram insist that the book is original.  The book itself is written with gold lettering, onto loosely-tied leather in Aramaic, the language of Jesus Christ.The text maintains a vision similar to Islam, contradicting the New Testament’s teachings of Christianity.  Jesus also foresees the coming of the Prophet Muhammad, who would found Islam 700 years later.

It is believed that, during the Council of Nicea, the Catholic Church hand-picked the gospels that form the Bible as we know it today; omitting the Gospel of Barnabas (among many others) in favor of the four canonical gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.  Many biblical texts have begun to surface over time, including those of the Dead Sea and Gnostic Gospels; but this book especially, seems to worry the Vatican.

The Catholic Church wants in

What does this mean to Christian-derived religions and their followers?  Quite a tight spot.  The Vatican has asked Turkish authorities to let them examine the contents of the bookwithin the Church.  Now that the book has been found, will they come to accept the it and its evidence?  Will they deny it altogether?  Call it a “Muslim lie”, as did the “Truth” Magazine, in 2000?

To many, this book is a beacon of hope, that believers soon realize that the object of their adoration is arbitrary; and that all text, especially religious text, is subject to interpretation.

What does this mean to atheists/agnostics/secular thinkers?  Is the text real?  Fake?  Does it matter?  Hopefully, this news inspires the religious to ask questions, instead of pointing fingers or believing anything blindly.

Please, don’t go poking fun or tossing around the “I told you so!”s.  The biggest danger of faith is when people believe what they want to believe, defending against any and all evidence; especially when that evidence revolutionizes their foundation from the ground up.  And the biggest culprit to that danger is the ego trap: rejecting/criticizing others, for being unlike you.

For centuries, the “defense” of blind faith has driven nations to war, violence, discrimination, slavery and to become the society of automatons that we are today; and for just as long, it has been justified with lies.  If you know better, act like it.

194,000 Nigerian refugees in Cameroon, Niger face eviction

Shettima: Borno IDPs consume 1,800 bags of rice daily

No fewer than 194,000 Nigerians who are seeking refuge in Cameroon and Niger as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have been served eviction notice by the neighbouring governments. Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima, made the disclosure in Abuja yesterday.

There are 56,000 Nigerian IDPs in Cameroon who ran away from Borno State in the wake of insurgency that has left many dead and millions homeless. The IDPs, according to Shettima, are those from Bama and Gwoza local government areas of the state alone.

The governor, who said the Cameroonian authorities have indicated that they could no longer take care of the Nigerian IDPs, said another 138,000 Nigerien IDPs in Niger Republic also face the same fate. Speaking at the 1st Annual Dialogue on Rebuilding Borno with the theme: Rebuilding Peace in Borno: Thought Leadership Laboratory, the governor lamented that the state is faced with serious food crisis, aftermath of the insurgency.

Besides the IDPs, who he said are in 17 camps across the state, he said the state government also has to cater for 1.7 million people in Maiduguri and 70,000 people living in Gwoza community.

“The real support we need is for the 1.7 million people within Maiduguri, the 70,000 people living in host community in Gwoza and several other locations. Even our people that are in Cameroon have been given eviction notice. “The Cameroonian authorities are no longer keen in taking care of them.

They are 56,000 Nigerians, largely from Gwoza and Bama local governments. We have about 138,000 Nigerians in Niger Republic, they also face eviction. We really have food crisis and we need the support of all and sundry,” he said.

While emphasising on the food crisis, which he noted is the greatest challenge facing the state; the governor said the successes recorded by the military over the Boko Haram insurgents have led to the exodus of IDPs from once trapped communities to the established emergency camps. His words: “As we speak, we are battling with a crisis of feeding mass of humanity in Borno.

The military has succeeded in rescuing communities that were trapped due to the presence of Boko Haram insurgents on certain routes. “This cheering rescue has led to mass exodus of internally displaced persons from these trapped communities to emergency camps we had to establish.

In Borno today, about 1,800 bags of 50 kilograms of rice which constitutes three trailers of 600 bags each, is required daily to cater for IDPs across the state and this does not include ingredients like tomatoes, vegetable oil, beans to balance carbohydrate, onions, salt and other elements. “For our regular camps, a total of 984 bags of rice is consumed daily based on a Data Tracking Matrix of the International Organisation on Migration working with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and the Borno State Emergency Management Agency.

“This figure of 978 bags is for the camps in Maiduguri and Jere, Dikwa, Bama and Damboa. For Maiduguri and Jere, 787 bags of rice are consumed daily for the 152,000 displaced persons in 17 camps and two relief points at Madinatu and Muna Garrage where distribution of food items are made to IDPs living outside camps in Maiduguri. For Dikwa, which has 75,000 displaced persons, 101 bags are required daily.

“Bama requires 50 bags daily for 32,000 displaced persons while Damboa requires 40 bags daily. These are as per the Data Tracking Matrix of the International Organisation on Migration” Shettima, however,solicited the support of the world powers such as Germany, France and China to come to the aid of his state, noting that the US and British governments have significantly assisted Borno State.

He also hinted that efforts are being made in collaboration with the authorities of the Nigerian Customs Service to evacuate contraband rice donated to the state by Federal Government to where they are needed. “I had a very fruitful discussion with the Nigerian Customs Service on how to evacuate the contraband rice that were donated to us. Our real problem is how to feed the people.

And I want to make it clear that those in need are not confined to the IDPs camps alone,” he said While lamenting that little or no assistance came from the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan to the state as Borno was tagged ‘distant cousin’, Shettima wondered what would have happened to the people of the state if President Muhammadu Buhari had not won the 2016 general elections. “The previous federal administration branded us as distant cousins, we were left to our fate except with negligible intervention.

It was after the emergence of President Buhari that the National Emergency Management Agency fully took over in supplying the main food items which is rice, while we provide the condiments,” the governor noted. While speaking on the efforts to rebuild Borno State and losses incurred as a result of insurgency, Governor Shettima said the losses incurred by the state as a result of the insurgency “have been colossal.”

Trump, Clinton close in on presidential nominations with New York wins

 

 

 

 

 

© Spencer Platt / Getty Images North America / AFP | Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton walks on stage after winning the highly contested New York primary on April 19, 2016.

Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton both took major steps towards winning their parties’ respective presidential nominations with commanding victories in the New York state primary on Tuesday.

The billionaire businessman’s huge victory in his home state put Trump in position to win nearly all of the state’s 95 delegates, edging closer to the 1,237 delegates needed to win his party’s presidential nomination and avoid a contested national convention in July.

Clinton’s dominating double-digit primary election win in New York, which she once represented in the US Senate, snapped Democratic rival Bernie Sanders’s winning streak and made it nearly impossible for him to overtake her delegate lead.

Trump captured about 60 percent of the vote, easily beating Ohio Governor John Kasich, who got 25 percent, and US Senator Ted Cruzof Texas, who had 15 percent, with 95 percent of the votes counted. For Trump, it was enough to win all 14 statewide delegates and most of the delegates from each of New York’s congressional districts.

“We don’t have much of a race anymore based on what I’m seeing on television,” Trump, 69, told cheering supporters at a victory party at his Trump Tower in Manhattan. “We are really, really rocking."

He said the Republican Party establishment forces that have tried to keep him from a first-ballot victory at the convention are “in trouble” and repeated his criticism of a “crooked” system that has allowed Cruz to outmanoeuvre him and win delegates in a series of recent state conventions.

Trump looks to wrap up nomination before convention

Trump entered the New York contest with 756 delegates, while Cruz had 559 and Kasich had 144, according to an Associated Press count. The count includes endorsements from several delegates who are free to support the candidate of their choice.

Trump said his New York win would make it almost mathematically impossible for Cruz to win the nomination on the first ballot at the party’s national convention in July.

His resounding victory was a significant, though not unexpected, blow to Cruz’s campaign.

The Texas Senator, who has projected himself as the only Republican capable of beating Trump, is widely disliked across the state for insulting New York's supposedly non-conservative values earlier in the campaign.

The 45-year-old gave his primary night speech in Philadelphia, where he was already focused on running in Pennsylvania. He called on Republicans to unite around his candidacy.

Cruz is trying to stay close enough in the delegate count to push the Republican race to a contested convention.

If Trump cannot secure enough delegates to win the nomination on the first ballot at the July 18-21 conclave in Cleveland, delegates would be allowed to switch to other candidates.

Cruz's campaign feels confident that it has mastered the complicated process of lining up individual delegates who could shift their support to the Texas senator if the convention vote goes to a second round.

“There’s only two issues left for Republicans: Will Trump get 50 percent of the delegates prior to Cleveland, and if not, how close will he be? New York gives him a nice boost, but it will take weeks before we know the answer,” said Ari Fleischer, who was White House press secretary under President George W Bush.

Clinton: ‘Victory is in sight’

Clinton’s New York victory followed some of the most heated personal exchanges of her political duel with Sanders, a US Senator from Vermont and Brooklyn native who had won seven of the last eight state-by-state nominating contests.

“The race for the Democratic nomination is in the home stretch, and victory is in sight,” Clinton, 68, told a cheering, chanting crowd at a victory speech at a Manhattan hotel, noting that she had gained more than 10 million votes and won in every region of the country.

"New York is a place for dreaming big. But New Yorkers also like to get things done." —Hillarypic.

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton)20 April 2016

“Today you proved there is no place like home,” added the former New York senator and first lady.

She reached out to Sanders supporters in what has become an increasingly antagonistic campaign. “There is much more that unites us than divides us,” she said.

But Clinton also could not resist a dig at her rival, repeating language she has used recently to criticise the 74-year-old for offering vague policy ideas without a concrete explanation of how he would achieve them.

“In the bright lights of New York we have seen it’s not enough to diagnose problems; you have to explain how you actually solve them,” she said.

Clinton won 57.9 percent of the vote in New York to 42.1 for Sanders, CNN said based on more than 90 percent of precincts.

With 247 delegates at stake, Clinton will pick up at least 135. Sanders will win at least 104. Eight remain to be allocated pending final vote tallies.

Based on primaries and caucuses to date, Clinton now has 1,893 delegates and superdelegates to Sanders's 1,149, according to an Associated Press tally, with 2,383 needed to win.

Sanders needs to win 71 percent of the remaining delegates and uncommitted superdelegates if he still hopes to win the nomination.

A top adviser to Bernie Sanders says the senator still has a path to the Democratic presidential nomination but will need to perform well in primary contests next week.

A senior adviser to Sanders, Tad Devine, said the senator was still in the race despite Clinton’s New York victory.

Sanders "never counted on winning New York - this is her home state”, he told the Associated Press.

There are "still a pretty good number of delegates left. We have to win most of the states. We have to win enough delegates to make up the difference”, he added.

British Weapons Are 'Sold On Facebook' In Libya

British guns are being advertised for sale on Facebook in Libya, where thousands of Islamic State fighters are believed to be active.

Rifles, light machine guns and revolvers are among the firearms listed in secret trading groups on the social network, even though Facebook has a strict policy against such transactions.
Once a buyer finds a weapon, deals are negotiated through private messages and phone calls - with some sub-machine guns being sold for as little as £400.
The Times said photographs and detailed descriptions of the guns were discovered by Armanent Research Services (ARES), which provides intelligence to governments on the use of arms and munitions.
Among the guns it reported being for sale were a Bren light machine gun, which was standard issue for British forces in World War Two, and a Sterling sub-machine gun which was used by the British Army from the 1950s to the 1990s.
Nic Jenzen-Jones, a director of ARES, told the newspaper that the British weapons being sold could have been exported directly to the Libyan government before the rise of Muammar Gaddafi.
British handguns are also among those being sold on Facebook, it is claimed - and David Dyson, an independent firearms expert, believes some of those weapons may have been left behind in North Africa by British troops after the conflict ended.
Facebook has said sales pages which violate its rules have been removed in light of the group's findings.
A report released by the Small Arms Survey suggested that sales of weapons on the black market in Libya are a new development - as the internet only became widely available in the country following the fall of the Gaddafi regime in 2011.
The Geneva-based research organisation said arms traders had "quickly realised the viability of social media for expanding their access to potential customers".
Facebook said: "It's against Facebook's community standards to co-ordinate private sales of firearms, and we remove any such content as soon as we become aware of it.
"We encourage people to use the reporting links found across our site so that our team can review content swiftly."

Over 100 People Dead As Fire Hits Temple In India

A huge fire has torn through a temple in the southern Indian state of Kerala, killing more than 100 people who had gathered for a fireworks display.

The building was crowded with thousands of devotees celebrating the Hindu new year when an explosion happened at around 3.30am local time.
One part of the Puttingal temple in the village of Paravoor, near the city of Kollam, is reported to have collapsed, trapping people underneath, as the blaze swept through the complex.
Nearly 400 others were injured in scenes described by one witness as "complete chaos".

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the injured in hospital

Television footage showed images of huge clouds of white smoke billowing from the temple, as fireworks were still going off in the night sky.
Successive explosions sent huge chunks of concrete flying as far as half a mile, eyewitnesses said.

Resident Krishna Das said: "People were screaming in the dark ... no one knew how to find their way out."
According to reports, the blaze is thought to have been caused by a firecracker that fell on a shed where fireworks were stored for the festivities.
The air force and navy were called in to evacuate the most critically hurt and medics have been flown in from the capital New Delhi.
Kerala home minister Ramesh Chennithala said firefighters and police worked through the night to douse the fire and take the injured to hospital.
"Now the situation is under control... the police are on the spot," he said.
State health authorities said many of the injured had been driven to the state capital Thiruvananthapuram as hospitals in Kollam were stretched.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the site and a hospital where some of those wounded in the blast were being treated.
Every year, the Paravoor temple holds a competitive fireworks display, with groups putting on light shows for thousands of devotees gathered for the last day of a seven-day festival honouring the Hindu goddess Bhadrakali.
This year's competition was happening without permission after the state's High Court banned competitive light shows at temples.
State Labour minister Shibu Baby John said incident would be investigated.

Bus Crash Kills 24 People In Zambia

A bus and a minibus crashed head-on in Zambia on Saturday, killing 24 people, police said.

The accident in the northern area of Kapiri Mposhi, around 210 kilometres (130 miles) north of Lusaka, came after the driver of the bus failed to keep to his lane and hit a minibus coming the other way, police spokeswoman Charity Munganga said.

“All the passengers who were in the minibus including the driver died on the spot. They were 24 in total,” Chanda said, adding that the number of injured was not yet clear.

Deadly traffic accidents are common in Zambia due to the poor state of the roads and bad driving.

Somalia Car Bomb Blast, Atleast Three Dead

Somali soldiers patrol near the scene of explosion outside a restaurant in Mogadishu on April 9, 2016 . Mohamed Abdiwahab (AFP)

At least three people including a child were killed Saturday in a car bomb blast outside a restaurant in the capital Mogadishu, officials and witnesses said.

“There was an explosion against a restaurant in the Beyhani district. Three civilians were killed and five others injured,” said Abdifatah Halane, a spokesman for the Banadir province which includes the capital.

Witnesses told AFP that the car, packed with explosives, was parked just outside the restaurant, and produced a massive blast.

“The explosion was enormous… I saw several corpses, including one of a child,” said one witness, Farhan Mohamed.

Several sources told AFP that the restaurant, which is in the northern part of the city, was regularly used by Somali security forces, although it was unclear if any were there at the time.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but the Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab jihadist group regularly mounts car bomb attacks and assassinations on government targets.

They have also stepped up deadly attacks in recent months on restaurants and some of Mogadishu’s most high-profile hotels.

Shebab leaders have vowed to bring down the Somali government, which is supported by the international community and defended by the African Union’s 22,000-strong AMISOM mission.

Confronted with AMISOM’s superior fire power, deployed from 2007, Shebab militants were chased out of Mogadishu in August 2011.

The group subsequently lost its main strongholds, although it still controls vast rural areas from which it mounts guerilla operations and suicide attacks, often targeting the capital.

Mandela’s ex-wife loses court bid to claim his home

Nelson Mandela’s former wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela on Thursday lost a court bid to claim ownership of his rural home, in a ruling welcomed by his family after a bitter legal dispute.

The Eastern Cape High Court dismissed the case in which Madikizela-Mandela said she was the rightful owner of the property in Qunu, in the Eastern Cape province.

Nelson Mandela spent much of his childhood in Qunu after being born nearby, and he returned there regularly after his retirement.

He was buried in Qunu in 2013.

In his will, the anti-apartheid icon left the house to his family trust, but Madikizela-Mandela claimed it belonged to her under customary law because it was bought in 1989 while they were still married.

The couple were wed in 1956 and divorced in 1996.

“The family is grateful that this saga has now come to a close and trusts that Winnie will makes peace with the judgement,” the Mandela family said in a statement.

“It is deeply regrettable that this challenge to his final wishes should have come from someone of her stature and proximity to the family.”

Mandela was arrested in 1962 and spent 27 years in jail before becoming South Africa’s first black president in the post-apartheid elections of 1994.

On his death, he left his assets to family members, personal staff, schools and the ruling African National Congress party.

Mandela’s will, which did not mention Madikizela-Mandela, said that he wanted the Qunu homestead to “be used by my family in perpetuity in order to preserve the unity of the Mandela family”.

Mandela married his third wife Graca Machel, the widow of Mozambique president Samora Machel, in 1998.

Pope Francis About To Visit Lesbos

Pope Francis is to visit the Greek island of Lesbos - the centre of the migration crisis - to meet with refugees.

The trip has been scheduled to take place on 16 April, the Vatican said, in a show of support for the hundreds of thousands that have made the perilous journey to Europe.
Many of those, including women and children, have fled the civil war in Syria.

Migrants are not allowed out of the detention camp once they reach Lesbos

The Pontiff, the son of Italian immigrants to Argentina, has urged Roman Catholic churches across Europe to take in migrant families.
He has also spoken of Europe's moral obligation to welcome refugees.

A visit to a camp may embarrass EU leaders already under fire from human rights groups.
Around 70 extra staff have been sent to a detention camp on the island by the European Asylum Support Office to speed up the processing of asylum applications.
Aid workers have said conditions at Moria are poor, with food limited and women and children being forced to sleep outdoors.
Thursday's announcement comes as the first deportations from Greece to Turkey got under way this week as part of an EU deal to deport those who have failed to gain asylum.
Several hundred migrants and refugees have been transported back across the Aegean Sea from the Greek islands of Lesbos and Chios.
The first boats started arriving at Dikili on the Turkish coast on Monday amid protests.
For each migrant sent back to Turkey, officials have said a legitimate refugee will be resettled in Europe.
Europe's politicians are hoping the expulsions will deter people from boarding smugglers boats, but already there are signs it is not working.
Migrants are continuing to arrive in Lesbos, despite the threat of being sent back.
Aid workers who are being allowed inside Moria told Sky News some Syrians have threatened to jump overboard if they are put on ships back to Turkey.
However, the reality is many thousands in Greece are likely to be returned in the coming weeks.

Barack Obama "Nuclear terrorist attack would 'change our world',

The threat from terrorists trying to launch a nuclear attack that would "change our world" is real, President Barack Obama has said.

The world has taken "concrete" steps to prevent nuclear terrorism, he told the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington.
But the so-called Islamic State (IS) obtaining a nuclear weapon is "one of the greatest threats to global security," he added.
More than 50 nations were represented at the summit.
World leaders convening in Washington for the summit expressed concern about North Korea's nuclear weapons programme and Russia's lack of attendance.
Mr Obama expressed concern that Russia has been building up its military at the expense of nuclear arms reductions.
Russian President Vladimir Putin refused to attend the summit, and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of Pakistan cancelled his trip after the deadly bombing in Lahore. Both countries are nuclear-armed.

Image caption Russia declined to the attend the summit in Washington

As the summit closed, the leaders reaffirmed their commitment to fight proliferation.
Mr Obama cited progress in making large parts of the world free of nuclear materials. South America had already achieved this, and Central Europe and South East Asia were expected to do so later this year.
"Together, we have removed the world's most deadly materials from nuclear facilities around the world," he said.
Despite these gains, Mr Obama said the Indian subcontinent and the Korean peninsula were areas where more could be done to combat proliferation.
Mr Obama said the world cannot be "complacent" and must build on its progress in slowing the stockpiling of nuclear weapons.
IS has already used chemical weapons in Syria.
"There is no doubt that if these mad men ever got their hands on a nuclear bomb or nuclear material, they would certainly use it to kill as many people as possible," he said.
"The single most effective defence against nuclear terrorism is fully securing this material so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands in the first place."
Could Islamic State make a 'dirty bomb'?
Mr Obama hailed his own nuclear agreement with Iran, which has been criticised by Republicans and other groups for the sanctions relief it provides. He called it a "substantial success".
"This is a success of diplomacy that hopefully we will be able to copy in the future," he said.
Mr Obama said Iran has so far followed the letter of the agreement. He urged patience as the country becomes re-integrated into the global economy.
"So long as Iran is carrying out its end of the bargain, we think it's important for the world community to carry out our end," he said.
At the summit, Mr Obama was asked about recent comments by presidential hopeful Donald Trump.
The Republican front-runner had floated the idea that Japan and South Korea should have nuclear weapons, a dramatic departure from decades of US foreign policy.
"The person who made the statement doesn't know much about foreign policy, nuclear policy, the Korean peninsula or the world generally," Mr Obama said.

Malaysian reps to S Africa in MH370 hunt

Malaysia has sent representatives to Mozambique and South Africa to organise a more thorough search for plane debris, after the discovery of several pieces presumed to be from a crashed airliner, a minister says.
During the past two months plane parts suspected to be from missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370 have been found in both countries.
"We have sent our team to Mozambique and South Africa to discuss the complete program to search for debris on the sea shores of these two countries," Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai told reporters on Thursday at the headquarters of the Malaysia Chinese Association, an ethnic-Chinese political party aligned with the ruling coalition.
The Beijing-bound flight MH370, with 239 people aboard - mostly Chinese - disappeared nearly an hour after it took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
At present Australian experts are examining two pieces of debris which were found in Mozambique and were said to be "almost certainly" from the plane.
Meanwhile, two other suspected plane parts recovered from South Africa were to be transported to Malaysia for initial analysis.
A wing part confirmed to be from the missing flight was recovered on French Reunion Island last year.
The Australian-led international search team scouring the ocean floor has yet to locate the main body of the missing airliner, which is thought to have crashed in the southern Indian Ocean.

India overpass collapse kills 21

At least 21 people have been killed, 60 injured and many others feared trapped after a highway overpass collapsed in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata.
"Twelve dead bodies have been handed over to their families and three are awaiting final documentation. Six bodies are still unidentified," said AITC, the ruling party in the state of West Bengal, of which Kolkata is the capital.
About 80 metres of the overpass, which was under construction, collapsed on Thursday morning in a congested part of the central Burrabazar district, trapping vehicles and people underneath it.
"There was a deafening noise and there was dust all around, it went down in seconds," Mahesh Sarkar, a witness to the collapse, said.
Rescue operations continued into the night, with the army, police and disaster relief force cutting and sifting through mangled metal and concrete debris to find those still trapped.
"One girder seems to have fallen and then another collapsed," said KP Rao, spokesman for IVRCL, the construction company responsible for the overpass.
"This is a very serious incident," said Mamata Banerjee, chief minister of West Bengal state.
"But our first priority is to rescue the trapped, treat the injured in hospital and console the families of those who have died," Banerjee said.
Six units of the National Disaster Response Force were rushed to the site and cranes were being used to lift debris. News footage showed mangled, half-burnt cars being lifted out from the rubble.
Many people had head and neck injuries, and several suffered burns when their vehicles caught fire, police said.
At least 30 engineers were working at the site.
"At least two of our engineers are missing," Rao said from IVRCL headquarters in Hyderabad.
The army has also been called in to help, said Banerjee, who called off an election rally to visit the site in the state capital. Around 400 army personnel including engineers and medical personnel were deployed, reports said.
Residents formed a human chain to keep onlookers back from rescue operations, reports said.
"Shocked and saddened by collapse of under construction flyover in Kolkata," Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted on Twitter.
Construction on the overpass started in 2008 but had stopped and started several times amid apparent financial trouble suffered by IVCRL, according to an India Today report.

Seven Police Killed In Car Bomb In Turkey

A car bomb has killed seven police officers and wounded more than two dozen other people in Turkey's Diyarbakir, a day before the prime minister was due to visit the biggest city in the largely Kurdish southeast.
A parked car laden with explosives was detonated by remote control on Thursday as a minibus carrying the police officers turned a corner on a busy street, security sources said, adding that civilians were among the wounded.
President Tayyip Erdogan, who is on a visit to Washington for a nuclear security summit, denounced the attack, saying it showed the "ugly face" of militants "as they are cornered".
"This shows terrorism's ugly face again. The determination of our security forces will, God willing, put an end" to it, Erdogan said in a speech to the Brookings Institute.
He said 27 people had also been wounded in the attack.
The southeast has been scorched by violence since a ceasefire between the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the government collapsed last July.
The government has said it has killed thousands of militants since then, while more than 350 members of the security forces have been killed in the fighting.
Round-the-clock curfews have been instituted in parts of the southeast, where the economy also been devastated by the fighting.
One of the hardest hit areas has been Diyarbakir's historic Sur district, which is encircled by UNESCO-listed, Roman-era walls.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bomb attack. A PKK offshoot has claimed two car bomb attacks this year in the capital Ankara.
The first, on February 17, targeted a military bus and killed 29 people, mostly soldiers. The second, just under a month later, killed 37 in a crowded transport hub.
