1:02 pm
which saw iran shell of its disputed nuclear program in exchange for the easing of international sanctions trump accused iran of violating the spirit of the agreement but stopped short of casting the deal instead he has called on u.s. lawmakers and international partners to fix its flaws now every ninety days the u.s. president has to certify to congress that iran is complying with the agreement trump had done that twice before now rather but now has refused to sign ahead of a sunday deadline. congress must decide whether to reimpose sanctions and scrapped the deal here's some more of what trump had to say importantly iran is not living up to the spirit of the deal so today in recognition of the increasing menace posed by iran and after extensive consultations with our allies i am announcing
1:03 pm
a new strategy to address the full range of iran's destructive actions i am announcing today that we cannot and will not make this certification we will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence more terror and the very real threat of iran's nuclear breakout israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu welcome trump's announcement congratulating the u.s. president for what he called a quote courageous step the response from other world leaders has been much less enthusiastic the deal took more than a decade to negotiate between the united states china russia great britain france germany and iran it was finally signed in twenty fifteen. there was dancing in the streets of the iranian capital tehran when the agreement was finally reached after the massive effort that went into securing the deal to control iran's

nuclear program those who'd been instrumental in the negotiations reacted strongly to trump's announcement more than two years ago exactly in july twenty fifteen the entire international community welcomed the result of twelve years of intense negotiations on the iranian nuclear program one hundred and four pages full of technical details. the joint compressive action. it is not a bilateral agreement it does not belong to any single country and it is not up to any single country to terminate it german foreign minister gabriele said scrapping the treaty would send a quote dangerous signal shouted in the next few weeks we'll do everything in our power to persuade u.s. congress to uphold the agreement and to discuss how we can change iran's behavior
1:05 pm
in other areas of middle east politics we believe the agreement must be preserved as the. iranian president hassan rouhani said his country will continue to respect the nuclear deal in spite of trump's quote insults in a speech on state television rouhani said the agreement was much stronger than trump thinks. we will continue to cooperate with the international atomic energy agency in the framework of international treaties but if someday our interests are not realized and other parties want to violate their commitments they should be aware that iran will not hesitate a moment and will respond to them. that they want to. whether congress will make the changes trump wants remains to be seem it would seem that much of his bluster is for domestic consumption after weeks of divisions within the republican party and infighting among his aides the president is trying
1:06 pm
to reassert his campaign priorities and play to his support base. well for more on this i'm joined now by our correspondent arrest the tropper who has covered many stories from iran thanks for being with us so we just heard iran's president hassan rouhani is saying that he still wants to stick to this deal is there any chance that iran might change its mind not right now iranians see it from speech as a major violation of the deal but he hasn't said anything that's completely unacceptable for them he did to decertify that agreement but he didn't pull out he announced sanctions against the revolutionary guards but didn't officially label them as a terror organization which would have been a red line for tehran so for now the agreement stands but that might change if congress decides to pull out and violate it by a reimposing think since they were part of the deal right now trump has drawn criticism from all sides because of this stance and it's not just abroad but at
1:07 pm
home as well let's listen to democrat minority leader in the house of representatives nancy pelosi the iran nuclear agreement was the best way to prevent iran from becoming a nuclear armed state president trump through fuser to recertify is a grave mistake that threatens america's security and our credibility at a very critical time. so we're hearing what fellow americans are saying but what about europeans do they have any leverage to pressure congress into staying in this deal they have to try if that's what iran expects them to do now it expects them to take a stand and defend the nuclear agreement and not only with words like we've just heard but also with actions so that might include trying to find a way to talk to iran about its behavior in middle eastern politics which was not a part of the deal at all but it's now widely criticized by the u.s. that way they could show that there's room for improvement even without canceling the deal but it's important to remember the deal was not only signed by the u.s.
1:08 pm
but by five other countries as well and they all want to keep it so the five plus one was signed the deal with iran has now have turned into a five against one and that one is the united states now and trampy saying that he can personally cancel this do at any time what will iran do if the u.s. does actually meet could be true its threats one thing is certain they will not renegotiate because the iranians have long been skeptical of whether washington can be trusted when it comes to agreements and if trump's now trying now pulls out of the deal although iran complies with that then he approves them bright and that would weaken president rouhani stance who was the strongest supporter of the deal inside iran and it would strengthen the hardliners because there except of limitations on their nuclear program just because they got sanctions relief in return and if that now is gone they will end those limitations and probably invest more than ever before into the nuclear program terrorists a transfer thank you for your insight. time now for some of the other stories

parliament she has to clear out her desk like many of her female colleagues that's partly because her c.d.u. party did so badly and partly because women lost out in their own party rankings. men now men want to protect the privileges they have there is no reason for them to support new regulations so if they get implemented by then the men will be reducing their own chances of making a political career as long as women go along with that as long as society doesn't protest things will not change women's participation in the german parliament is truly not a success story for three decades less than ten percent of parliament was women it was the arrival of the green party in the early eighty's and later the left parties entry into the bundestag that changed the dynamics until recently some thirty seven percent of german m.p.'s were women. under forty i think that in society and in the media there was this idea that everything is ok now one third of the members of

parliament are female and we have ministers we have a female chancellor but this is misleading because the percentage of women in parliament does not reflect women's share of society which is over half of the population. and after september's national elections in the c.d.u. only forty nine seats are going to women and one hundred ninety seven will be held by men the f.d.p. and f.d.r. also male dominated but forty percent of the s.p.d. seats are held by women and in the green and left parties women are the majority these three parties all have quotas to include a minimum number of female lawmakers. helga lucas she wants germany to have a lot like what many other european countries already have in place she's optimistic that there will be parity regulations one day. but that's too late for cloudy looking me his who can only hope that future generations of female
