this is. allow i marry on the mozzie this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes. the theory entire anova donald trump's decision to pull out of the iranian nuclear deal but you are the valves to stand by the agree. malaysia's formally the military one hundred wins a shock election victory ending the sixty year reign of the ruling party and three americans released by north korea head home with the u.s. secretary of state might on paper. in sports huddersfield get the point they need against chelsea to avoid relegation from the english premier league a one one draw severely dealt tensing chelsea's chances of course following the

next season's champions league. iran's supreme leader says donald trump's decision to pull the united states out of the two thousand and fifty nuclear deal is silly and superficial he accused the us president of lying and has threatened to quit the landmark agreement if the remaining wild powers cannot offer a trade guarantees is a bus driving reports from tehran. the day after the united states tore up the nuclear deal iran set it on fire members of parliament into one burned a printout of the international pact and the american flag a show of anger and disappointment over what they say is a mistake by washington i thought all right all your more him if europe an important countries like russia and china fill this international vacuum perhaps there will be a way to continue otherwise the islamic republic of iran will bring the us to its

senses with its nuclear actions they have to know that under such circumstances iran has no. determined to remain in the nuclear position it was in before. iranians woke up to headlines that highlight the country's internal divisions moderates who are currently in government want the deal to go on without trump hardliner stress the united states cannot be trusted and the agreement should be completely scrapped but both sides are bracing for an economic impact social division and the withdrawal means more pressure will be exerted on the people and the country will go back to the days of resorting to smuggling to bring in goods and bypass sanctions. on wednesday iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei drew a line in the sand should need beaut. it is sure to go hard for you all heard last night the cheap and impudent remarks of the us president there were maybe more than ten lies moti says he threesome both the establishment and the iranian nation that he will do this and that and i will tell him on behalf of the iranian people mr

trump like hell you will. while there is a sliver of hope for the deal to survive the company said he knows iran is asking the remaining signatories for the impossible to stand by iran and ignore the global financial threat posed by the united states has. now said that the agreement will stay in place with participation of the three european countries i do not trust these three countries. while the full impact of renewed sanctions have yet to materialize on iranian streets traditional chants of death to america are getting louder once again perhaps the clearest sign of iran's anger was a message from the supreme leader to the american president in it he said that many u.s. presidents have died in their boat so decomposed and the trump two will return to dust and become food for worms but the islamic republic company says it will remain

standing the same bus ravi old is here at the wrong. well as a cabinet meeting a few hours ago trump want iran against the searing its nuclear ambitions i would advise iran not to start their nuclear program i would advise them very strongly if they do there will be very severe consequence ok trump is also threatened sanctions against any other country with links to iran and that can dash hopes for the remaining symmetries as they try to salvage the new deal and it's likely to mean a multi-billion dollar trade dispute between the u.s. and some of its allies as paul brennan reports from. any nation that helps around in its quest for nuclear weapons could also be strongly sanctioned by the united states the message was clear america is out and the other signatories had better

follow but they're not going without a fight. for it it is you know this makes the united states the world's economic police and i think that's not an acceptable situation but. we will look at the implications that the withdrawal of the us has for european companies and how the europeans can respond together. france germany the e.u. in the u.k. china and russia want to maintain the twenty fifteen agreement and iran has expressed its willing to but all sides understand the trade is the critical issue iran's acceptance of the nuclear restrictions was always dependent on the other signatories ability to deliver economic benefits to tehran without economic benefits is frankly nothing in it for the iranians and so if president trumps sanctions force the signatories to cease trading with iran then the deal is surely dead. since the twenty fifteen deal numerous international companies have promised

billions of dollars of investment in iran among the biggest the aerospace giants boeing and airbus have signed deals reportedly worth seventeen billion dollars and ten billion dollars respectively the french oil giant total has contracts worth four point eight billion dollars and the automotive group persia has invested four hundred seventy five million dollars back when the original iranian nuclear agreement was signed part of that package was airplane sales that we sites were initial deals with iran air which included both seven thirty seven s. and triple seven s. all of that is subject to u.s. licensing and as it has been throughout the process we continue to stay completely inside the u.s. government process here. and that we're going to continue to do that going forward can europe really protect a globalized companies from the threats of u.s. sanctions what we do with both sides. being

a war company because we should know so. at the end what we thought from the american role and it's no applicable law here in europe and it's no it would go more here in germany there is no basis for what he is doing the iran nuclear deal enable trade between iran and the e.u. to double to almost twelve billion dollars for the first half of twenty seventeen and china exported nearly eight billion dollars of goods to iran in the second half of last year a twenty two percent increase to defend that business france is preparing to launch a complaint against america with the world trade organization and the european union is examining so-called blocking legislation there will be frantic shuttle diplomacy at the highest level in the coming days paul brennan al-jazeera belin. american johnny is a senior resident fellow at the u.s.

think tank atlantic council joins me live now from new york and so european companies with assets in the united states would be potentially penalized for importing iranian oil for doing any kind of business or trade with iran do you anticipate that these secondary sanctions will be enforced to the fullest extent stiffle to say currently president trump has obviously pulled the u.s. out of the deal the treasury department has given guidelines and they've given a number of instructive instructions rather ninety day wind on one hundred eighty day wind down they clearly want to see european businesses that have global businesses that have exposure to the u.s. market to cut back their trade with iran. how that's going to be enforced is an open question because this will be the first time. really over the last fifteen

sixteen years where there's been a divide in the transatlantic alliance on their approach to iran usually europe the e.u. and the u.s. would go in lockstep with each other in their approach to iran this this fissure if you will leaves a lot of open questions that are that are going to be interesting to see other are going to be resolved if washington refuses to even consider any sort of exemptions for european businesses what can he or pain governments do then to safeguard their companies from paying fines as a result of these sanctions well that. look at the economies of scale i mean the u.s. economy is eighteen trillion dollar economy in iran's four hundred eighty billion dollars. europe and the united states have a symbiotic relationship all the major european banks all the major european

companies have huge presence the united states europe can give political rhetoric and political cover to their companies and their banks but they can't force these companies and banks to have public shareholders have boards of directors they can't impose them to go and do business in iran and in fact over the last two years you have seen minimal european investment and trade with iran most of that they've done is purchased iran's oil. the prime banks none of them the empty party bud torture bank h.s.b.c. standard chartered u.b.s. critters none of come in to make substantial investments in iran or or offer trade financing to iran so why i don't see how that will change given now that they're going to have the the sort of damocles of u.s. treasury sanctions on their necks it's difficult you can't force public companies

do business that they don't want to do because they're afraid they're going to lose a bigger business the united states and you're absolutely right these are decisions that are going to be made in the boardrooms and even if brussels says the right thing you can't force the companies to necessarily want to do business or to engage in trade but do you think that now that you have this sort of balance of power potentially this fracturing alliance between europe and the us perhaps europe having to speak out about the sort of lack of reliability of the us as a partner in this in the fact that they do want this deal to what that it might encourage them to be more forceful. to see if it goes beyond the rhetoric i mean the rhetoric a certainly they are the will is there the question is how is that going to be effectuated by actions of european companies and banks in the ninety's when this happened after the iran libya

sanctions act there was a threat by the e.u. to take the us to the w t o the clip administration at the time and the e.u. worked it out and clinton mr shashi waivers but that was a different time in a different political climate it's a much more heated much more divisive climate now when it comes to iran and you know i'll give you a prime example very of an air bus is probably the largest european export or hasn't delivered a plane to iran in about a year a new plane in about a year why hasn't it because over you know fourteen percent of our buses parts on any given plane are as u.s. technology and that would be a violation of u.s. sanctions so you know what a good place to start would be to be able to deliver a european made plane to iran they can't do that i don't see that changing unless they're able to work something out on the sidelines in a bilateral fashion between the united states from new york and their hand johnny

thank you very much for your perspective on this. when i move into all the top story this hour malaysia's ninety two year old former prime minister has made a triumphant return to power winning enough seats in wednesday's elections to form the next government to mohamed was once the mentor to his rival i'm innocent but is now managed to shatter his party sixty year hold on power pride has more from. kuala lumpur supports is that the opposition alliance gathered as counting began not knowing what the night would bring more well there's only official results donte to come in the growing anticipation of a major political upset. then on a crackly video link an appearance by the de facto leader of this opposition movement the full of prime minister mahathir mohamad. shows. that.

and likelihood is that they will not be on me their government the day began with malaysia's embattled prime minister najib razak voting in an election seen as a test of his credibility he was confident of victory. i believe the people would give a new mandate to paris and national we cannot vote based on slanderous edition because the elections are not about that. he has been plagued by the scandal over the government's one m. d. b. investment fund that had hundreds of millions of dollars allegedly misappropriated now jeep denies any wrongdoing but the controversy brought the return of into the political fray accusing his form a protege of corruption ninety two he remains a potent political force able to draw away supporters from the traditional molay

base that has kept the governing party in power for six decades malaysia is now in uncharted territory and sure it seems even how power is meant to be passed on from one party to another as mirrors began to sing again about what was happening that i like to council around the country so the crowd in this park has swelled the mood turned into one of you. the the expectation that sixty one years of continuous rule by the same party could be coming to an end on this one extraordinary night tonight is a great day that i had i mean that people always want. everybody. but it is a fantastic the moment that you know for good. and now prepares to be sworn back into office a ninety two year old leader taking his country on

citizens imprisoned in north korea were freed and are heading back home in a move seen as a goodwill gesture ahead of the summit kathy novak has more from seoul the release of the americans is another sign of the thawing relationship between pyongyang and washington and improves the climate for the proposed summit between donald trump and kim jong un the u.s. president has pushed the case for months saying there's been constant pressure like was fighting very diligently to get the three merkin citizens back. reports that the three had been moved from a labor camp to a hotel in the capital was followed closely in south korea there they received better food and medical treatment this is what we know about the three men kim jong il is a south korean born u.s. citizen who worked as a religious minister in his early sixty's he was detained in twenty fifteen on spying charges a year later he was sentenced to ten years hard labor at a government arranged news conference he apparently confessed to stealing military

secrets while working with south korea a claim rejected by seoul two of the men have been detained since donald trump became president kim hawke song was detained on suspicion of hostile acts in may twenty seventeen believed to be an ethnic korean born in china he emigrated to the us in the one nine hundred ninety s. he worked at pyongyang university of science and technology. who goes by tony kim was arrested in april twenty seventeen he also worked at the university and was accused of hostile acts trungpa had been suggesting that unless the north koreans take real denuclearization steps that he wouldn't go to the summit well the north koreans have given him something else very easy for them to give and now the summit will absolutely go ahead donald trump used to call the north korean leader a little rocket man and warned of a hostile reaction to further threats of attack from their west korea best not make any more threats to the united states. they will be met with fire of fury.

like the world has never seen that in march there was a dramatic turnaround when president trump announced summit plans after a visit by a south korean delegation to the white house the man who is now u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o followed up with visits to north korea to lay the groundwork for talks with president trump as three americans celebrate their release the family of student auto war india will be thinking of what could have been arrested in north korea and held for seventeen months he returned to the u.s. in a vegetative state and died days later one because parents have lodged a wrongful death suit against the north korean government kathy novak al jazeera soul. joe castro joins me now from washington so the three prison is american prisoners have been freed from north korea we know they're on their way back to the states with the secretary of state home pay oh where are they now. here mary and what we know is that they are in flight they are expected to land here at

andrews air force base in about nine hours time they are accompanied by the secretary of state and according to president donald trump's tweet they are appear to be in good health trump himself has said that he will be present on the tarmac at two am local time here to greet the return of these three americans certainly moment where he will be celebrating this victory for his administration the photo ops of him welcoming these three men back home a victory not only for his platform but also the removal of a significant obstacle as that would have been in the way of this summit between the two countries' leaders what would we know about my latest visit to north korea to how he is laying the groundwork for that historic summit between trump and kim. well you know that this latest visit by palm pale was very brief but that yesterday while in north korea he met with senior north korean officials and was welcomed

with a celebration a lot and pompei o giving a toast at that lunch said that he wants north korea to have all the opportunity opportunities that its people so richly deserve those words being interpreted as an all of branch extended to kim jong un who has says before that his country would give up its nuclear ambitions only if washington made it feel secure enough to focus on economic recovery but there was another point during this meeting between the senior north korean officials and pompei o yesterday in which a north korean official said that his country coming to the table now to talk about denuclearization was not a result of outside saying sions that was an apparent rebuff trumps claims that it's his policy of maximum pressure as he calls it that brought the north koreans to the table all right thank you very much for the latest from washington heidi

castro that well and other developments donald trump's controversial nominee for cia director has testified before a senate committee gina hospital spent thirty three years working for the cia most of it on the cover but it's the work she did interrogating suspects that has some questioning whether she should be leading a spy agency. wraps up the hearing from washington. you knew there were going to be proved to us. is controversial she was in charge of the secret prison in thailand when. he was tortured but republicans on the committee across the board said that was actually ok with them it's very easy to sit back and criticize the work of the agency with the benefit of hindsight housefull says she wouldn't torture people now the democrats were not convinced is easy answer yes or no do you believe in hindsight. that those techniques were immoral senator what i believe sitting here today is that i support the higher

moral standard we have decided to hold ourselves to answer the question and i think i've answered the question if not she went on to say that she doesn't believe torture works but with a caveat she never said what she supervised waterboarding was torture we got valuable information from debriefing of al qaeda detainees and i don't i don't think it's noble whether interrogation techniques played a role in that she had to answer for another controversial move she sent the order demanding ninety two videotapes of people being tortured destroyed she blamed her boss and republican seemed convinced of her innocence we're holding you responsible for drafting a cable at your boss's direction make any more sense than holding a senate speechwriter responsible for the boring speeches senators given the senate floor senator all deferred to you. some of war and giving her the job would send the message that the u.s.

russian president. speaking off to those talks he said he did not believe russia would try to limit israel's military actions in syria it follows reports of an israeli strike on an iranian military facility near damascus israel is concerned about russia's growing closeness to iran and involvement in syria but russia has its own interests in the middle east as rory channels reports from moscow. all his meetings with readymade putin are important said benyamin netanyahu before flying to moscow on wednesday but this one is particularly so for israel's prime minister arriving for russia's victory day military parade was an astute courtesy call the holiday celebrates the soviet role in defeating naziism and vladimir putin believes the world isn't grateful enough for russia's sacrifice a. special you. today some try to face from history the feet of a nation but save europe and the world from slavery from extermination from the

horrors of the holocaust. they try to distort the events leading to the true heroes of the gotten and by history will be written. we will never allow this to happen. but netanyahu wasn't here to walk you about history he was here to talk about what's happening now in syria one of netanyahu concerns is russia's intentions to send the syrians the s. three hundred air defense system the previous generation of interceptor missiles he watched drive past him when moscow more importantly he wants to know whether putin is still listening to his worries about iran. it's difficult to believe that seventy years after the holocaust in the middle east there's a country that wants to eliminate israel it's a good occasion to discuss this problem with the russia's military intervention in syria has succeeded in making it a relevant power that governments in the middle eastern region have to talk to now but most goes finding that its partnership with tehran is testing the limits of
