yes and i think iran has tremendous economic potential and i look forward to letting them get back to the stage where they can show that i think iran i know so many people from iran these are great people it has a chance to be a great country with the same leadership we're not looking for regime change i just want to make that clear there is wayne he has more now from tokyo. it was a wide ranging media conference given by the u.s. president donald trump and japanese prime minister shinzo talking about north korea trade and iran in fact donald trump compared north korea to iran he has spoken several times in the past about the economic potential he believes that north korea has he said the same thing in that media conference about iran he said that the u.s. is not looking for regime change what they are looking for in iran is a country without nuclear weapons he says that he thinks that iran wants to talk and if they do want to talk then the united states is willing to do so the japanese
6:01 pm
prime minister shinzo are they also spoke about this issue japan and iran traditionally relatively close we had the iranian foreign minister in tokyo less than 2 weeks ago and shinzo is considering a trip to tehran sometime in the middle of june in the bilateral meeting with donald trump the u.s. president said that he supported that prospect and we've also had in the past the japanese prime minister offering to mediate in this dispute there was no specific mention of that during this media conference all the bilateral meeting as far as we understand other issues discussed not surprisingly there was no significant announcement regarding a trade deal between the united states and japan north korea despite the discussed at length especially the issue of abductees japanese citizens taken by north korea and the 1970 s. and eighty's it's an issue that shinzo abbay wants resolved he's willing to meet north korean leader kim jong il and to get that issue resolved something that
6:02 pm
donald trump says he supports and values here is a mess romney is monitoring iran's reaction from tehran. but what iranian leaders are likely to say is that yes perhaps president donald trump's rhetoric is softening but that may only be until his next tweet his next form of some kind of aggressive policy towards the country and many iranian leaders have seen previous comments previous overtures that may have been an extension of the hand as a largely insincere because they say the united states actions and maneuvers on the ground in the region its economic sanctions towards iran its military footing towards iran these are all actions that are under by the softening of rhetoric like we've seen earlier today now there have been many calls for mediation many countries in the middle east in asia that have friendly ties with both iran and the united states have offered to mediate deescalation of tensions between these 2 countries but iranian leadership the iranian government has. tentatively painted
6:03 pm
itself into a kind of tight corner by saying there will be don't direct talks or indirect talks with the united states and one expert we spoke to today about president trump's comments said that the decision to go to war or to declare peace is up to the supreme leader and he is the one who will who will in the end decide what to do next so that so the language that is being used is still very aggressive language on the part of iran which really goes to show how much of a trust deficit there continues to be between iran and the united states still ahead on al-jazeera why dealing with corruption scandals in argentina has not been playing face. we've got plenty of showers across southeast asia as per usual some of them very lively actually at the borneo for example indonesia is

6:47 pm
a unique journey into what it means to be human the things we keep a witness documentary on al-jazeera business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places together.
6:48 pm
business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places together in the philippines the black market for gold is worth hundreds of millions but not everyone is reaping the rewards of paying the ultimate price when i want to investigate why people are dying for gold. this is. live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. a tilt to the right nationalist parties make gains in european elections. the results.
6:49 pm
of the snap election off to his party's defeat. we're not looking for regime change i just want to make that clear u.s. president changes again on iran trade and security. and i'm leah harding with your sports as manchester city's chairman hits back at criticism . some rivals have been jealous. people make decisions they've got to live by them . we've managed ourselves well. and we will be touched by. a lot of voters across europe have dealt a blow to traditional centrist politicians while smaller parties on the left and right made gains the european parliamentary elections in many countries saw high
6:50 pm
turnouts that saw the greens and the far right make gains the populist far right seeing a surge in support but the liberals and greens also added more seats in france one of the most well known faces of the anti immigrant and n.t.e.u. parties perino lappin came out just ahead of president emanuel mccrone party mccraw represented the pro e.u. center in the election italy's deputy prime minister emma teo salvini secured the largest win for the far right his lead party became the biggest in the country and in the u.k. nigel farage is new breaks the party won the most seats but pro remain parties combined around combined got the same level of support showing britain remains deeply divided on leaving the european union. away covering the results and what they mean from across the european union in a few moments we'll be getting the view from paris and brussels but 1st let's speak
6:51 pm
to lawrence lead who is live in london for us so long as they break the party led by nigel farage the clear winner there was this another u.k. vote on another referendum breaks it up. well yes and i mean obviously i was taking everything to do with politics here but as usual the brics it's a deeply confusing outcome because both the lever's and the remain as are both claiming victory. as you said his single issue brecht's that party won overwhelmingly the biggest share getting 31 percent so he says they won but at the same time if you add up the combined votes of the 5 parties which all have a stated position of either just abandoning breakfast or at least having another referendum one reading of that is that they got a just over 40 percent so they're claiming that they won as well but there is one thing in the fallout of all this confusion that the brics it party and those other
6:52 pm
part of the liberals in the greens in the s.n.p. and all the others have in common which is they're all demanding electoral reform because that sue major party is the conservatives and labor which which are at war with themselves alone each other got completely stuck and all these parties are now saying this should be a much more pro a more european way of voting proportional representation so that people's views are better expressed in national elections which might have to follow a little earlier i spoke to a new newly elected liberal democrats m.e.p. this is what she had to say. and i think that the. people were discontented in many ways and that's. one thing that no one's really point is that people. you know many people in this country have lived in. their whole lives so it's not just about the economic imbalances in the country there are political enfranchise. and we think that. it's important that we
6:53 pm
have reform because we saw last night actually when we make a level playing field. like pause confab much better in a fairer system. so where we are now is in the self is demanding a seat at the table if there is to be any renegotiation of britain's exit from the european union in the same time all those procure appear in policies are demanding a 2nd referendum and of course they all have their way and so at least traditional politics here is in is in complete meltdown over the course of the next few months and in short order the conservatives and labor need to decide which way they're going to jump. and lawrence where does this leave did the 2 main parties then. well they need to make a decision as i say i mean at the moment that the assumption is that the conservative party which can face even behind the greens is likely to lurch more
6:54 pm
towards a brick sits but there's no majority in parliament for that there's no majority in the country equally the labor party were it's a come out in favor of a 2nd referendum actually tipped the balance i think squarely in favor of all of remain but they don't want to do that because because they're divided as well time's running out the european has given the u.k. until the end of october to decide what it wants to do the summer recess is a policy of others only 22 parliamentary days. for october 31st so there's not much time left all right lawrence lee live for us there in london let's turn now to natasha butler who is live for us in paris on a tasha marine le pen's national rally party there making some gains at the expense of president emanuel across party. yeah i think if you want to put some perspective on this it was indeed
6:55 pm
a victory for marine le pen's a far right party but a very small one and it was a defeat for the party of the french president tomorrow my car but a very small one it was that was only there was less than a percentage point in it now for marine le pen she ended up with a result which was very similar to the result the party had in the last election in 2014 and i think what that really shows is that even though the far right in france has a very core a supporter base and they are able to widen their appeal and many people expected marine le pen to capitalize on the fact that the french presence amount or mark or has had such a challenging few months but in fact her party failed to do so now for him and all my cars i said he has had the yellow vest crisis over social inequality his popularity his promises over the past few months because many people say that he is a favoring the rich over the poor yet even with all of that speed high and him his
6:56 pm
party still managed to do very well a small faction a small percentage point less than a percentage point i should say behind marine le pen so in fact it was still a very strong showing for a man or marcos party much better than i imagine that the government even expected and i think the main theme of this result really is showing how in france we have now seen really the demise of those establishment parties the conservatives in the socialist and what we are seeing is the far right are the main opposition party in power at the moment you have of course a centrist party of a matter mark continuing to be in charge what we have also seen there is a trend that was reflected across europe and that is the rise of the greens the greens and france coming 3rd. or international thanks for that in paris for so david chaytor is live for us in brussels to get a big picture on all of this so david we have the winners. and loses one of the the overall conclusions from these results. yes taking

a look at the long nights we can see that the center right and center left lost ground but there was also a lot of gains by the greens and of course a tilt towards the right and that's the interesting thing so i have with me to discuss that aspect of the results of dr rosa balfour from the german marshall fund think tank here now what do you think it's actually going to do is only a talk to the right it wasn't the tsunami that many people were predicting so was it really a victory for them well they like to say that it was a victory the reality is that we have different pictures in different countries so initially the lego did very well picks up a lot of votes in france mohun depended well but she actually lost 2 seats on the basis of to this morning's. projections and in other countries they did say they performed less well than expected especially if compared to their recent successes

at national level i'm thinking of germany for instance which did rather well in the elections national elections in 2017 but has lost some support since then so it's a this is a mixed picture but certainly the far right will have more seats in the next european parliament than question to see is whether they will manage to form a united group or how influential they will be because they are pretty hopelessly divided. let me go on that point what what do expect is the tactics the political tactics the so-called insurgent parties are going to take within the european union well the key question the these parties what they share is a fairly anti you agenda but there's some for instance i'm thinking a few deaths in hungary or law and justice in poland who both of which have done rather well they're not euro skeptic they want to stay in the u. they just don't want further integration in furtherance they don't want russell set

further powers whereas some of these far right parties want to take powers away from brussels so they are 2 quite different positions there that's the 1st point the 2nd point is because they don't have the numbers to shape decision making in parliament the key question will be to what extent they manage to influence other political parties now we have seen that the center rights has at times flirted with the far right and it hasn't really been very successful they've chased the far right in order to secure votes but then we look at australia and the far right the government collapse in space in france the one in spain actually all said the center right party did not do well in the national elections and in the european parliament elections in britain in in france in italy the center right has been decimated by the far right so basically europeans of that inclination of that and

to stablish meant far right inclination prefer the populace to their imitators to the copycats so we need to see whether the sensorites what sort of how it will position itself will it take distance from the far right in the next european parliament maybe seeks to form majorities with other parties or will it. continue chasing the right dr buffer thank you very much for that analysis as always europe and european politics are proving to be very complicated wait and see how they develop in the coming weeks. all right david cheetah live for us there in brussels thanks david or greece looks headed for snap elections are to the ruling party there suffered some big losses in the european parliament vote prime minister alexis tsipras saying he will now request the early dissolution of parliament after the regional elections on june the 2nd his left wing cities a party which has been in power for 4 years now lost to the conservative new democracy.
