iran on track the meeting between the foreign ministers of the three european union nations which signed it and their rainy and counterpart comes ahead of a decision in washington on reapplying sanctions the deal is working it is their living on its main goal which means he thinks the iranian nuclear program in check and i'm going to close the survey against the i.a.e.a. has confirmed in nine hundred more to see that iran is fully complying with the commitments made under the agreement u.s. president donald trump has repeatedly threatened to tear up the agreement which he's called the worst deal ever it was signed at a time of heightened tensions across the region some of iran's neighbors have been talking about a possible military strike against the country. to her rounds made no secret of its arsenal of ballistic missiles but some countries including israel claimed it also had an active nuclear weapons program iran insisted its nuclear agenda was purely

civilian but under the deal it agreed to end research in return for the partial lifting of sanctions allowing it to access global financial markets and crucially sell its oil. last summer president trump agreed to waive sanctions on iran's oil industry but things could be about to change in 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 iran's destructive actions trump's called for sanctions on iran's revolutionary guard and he also wants to extend time limits on the country's nuclear research and curtail its missile program he's refusing to recertify the deal unless congress passes legislation amending it but democrats say they won't back any changes not supported by european allies who insist any alterations would be in breach of the international agreement it leaves donald trump with two choices rectify the deal and keep it alive or reject it and

trigger an international crisis we are discussing with the american american allies and friends that we should separate two things from each other first we want to preserve the jesup usa the nuclear deal with iran because it's in our all in our interest not to develop to see that nuclear weapons are developed in the iran given the strength of feeling here in europe and warnings in the us itself it's likely president trunk will in fact refrain from reapplying those oil sanctions on iran but that certainly doesn't mean he's going to give up trying to change the terms of the nuclear deal and so the uncertainty over the future of iran's nuclear program goes on nadine barber al-jazeera brussels well bassam alga saying as a political analyst with the truman national security project she says a failure to uphold iran deal would have consequences for years to come. it really in the long term undermines american credibility that the united states presidents

aren't necessarily going to honor international agreements and if our credibility is undermined our influence will likely also be undermined and so it is important that these agreements are honored i think that there are some very legitimate concerns when it comes to iran so for example one of the things that critics of the deal don't like is that the country is still able to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile system as long as it is a conventional system because iran deal really just focuses on. weapons of mass destruction on nuclear weapons and not on conventional weapons i think that's a very legitimate concern however i don't think that this strategy is cracked i think what we could do is show the iranians that we're honoring a deal in the nuclear space and then that would create an incentive for them to come to the table to potentially come up with a second deal to talk about the threat intercontinental ballistic missiles and i think that's really

a broader regional concern and that's an opportunity that's potentially going to be passed by. the united nations says syrian forces have stepped up fighting in the rebel enclaves warning these deliberate attacks on civilians could be considered a war crime speaking on his first visit to syria the un's humanitarian chief says he's deeply worried about civilians and east and more than eighty five civilians have been killed since the beginning of the year and a hoax as more. this has become the norm in eastern good. day to civilian casualties as the syrian government steps up its attacks and flushing out rebels in the damascus. was this is the last rebel held and clay and regime forces backed by russian strikes have been intensifying attacks there in recent months russia has rejected accusations it's been targeting civilians.

products into european markets and be treated as european origin because when you have eighty over eighty percent of your trade with europe in effect you're tied to those economies. but the europeans have not stepped up to vote kind of challenges in a way that i think would be most helpful and if you think about it the real danger to. the situation in tunisia continuing to be so unsettled is that if you have waves of tunisian immigrants coming across the mediterranean they're going to enter these european countries and the europeans just look they should look at a map tunisia's even closer than libya is and you consider the kind of problems they've had in african migration coming from libya the father of a six year old pakistani girl who was raped and murdered as accuse police of not acting fast enough when his daughter went missing last week xenophon saw his body
