despite coming in third in national elections in other world news u.s. president donald trump says he will not recertify the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal the multilateral agreement calls for iran to shelve its just voted nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief now trump accused tehran of violating the spirit of the agreement but he stopped short of canceling the entire deal steps instead he's calling u.s. lawmakers and international partners to fix its flaws the greenman stipulates that the u.s. president must certify to congress that iran is complying with that agreement every ninety days trumps on it twice before but this time he refused to sign the head of sunday's deadline now congress is left with a decision about whether to reimpose sanctions scrap the deal completely here's a bit 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 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 well israel welcome that announcement prime minister benjamin netanyahu congratulated the u.s. president for what he called a courageous step of response from other world leaders have been slightly less enthusiastic iran deal took more than a decade to negotiate between the u.s. britain france and germany along china and russia and it wasn't signed until twenty fifty. there was dancing in the streets of the iranian capital tehran

when the agreement was finally reached after the mess of 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. well then 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 club in action which is appealing 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 in the show to vote 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 in other areas of middle east politics we believe the agreement must be preserved. for 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 more you know if 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. hard that they want to hot whether congress will make the changes trump wants remains to be seen 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 to reassert his campaign priorities and play to his support base. stay in the u.s. for a minute in the state of california rising winds are fanning wildfires that killed at least thirty five people thousands have been forced to flee their homes and the blazes have been burning for a week now and they are still. the wind makes fighting the flames even more difficult fire crews have been working tirelessly to bring the blazes under control but many of the biggest finds have not yet been contained authorities say high winds and dry conditions mean residents should remain on high alert through i really want to impress upon people's please stay out of the axioms stand of the burned areas it still looks really dangerous. most of the victims have been out of the residence who did not evacuate in time in sonoma county one of the hardest hit

regions authorities are still searching for those missing. are high probability or it will be a bedroom so if we got to apply the bedrooms first will search as bedrooms and then a work away out towards the house about ninety thousand hectares of land of being consumed by the flames since last sunday among the ashes the remains of this winery and sent to rosa so we lost pretty much the whole entire twenty seven thousand vintage of more than five thousand seven hundred houses have also been destroyed leaving many homeless but just heartbreaking it's just with happened so fast and there's nothing you could do and it may know if the f.b.i. was a full cost as a predicting high temperatures and strong winds in the coming days. well chancellor angela merkel has been the face of germany for more than a decade now but one woman at the top does not mean gender equality for all after last month's national elections the percentage of female lawmakers in the next

german parliament has hit a nineteen year low now there are calls for parity quotas to include more women in government. for claudia looking mischa it's over after four years as member of 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 and men now men want to protect the privileges they have there is no reason for them to support new regulations 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 not a success story for three decades less than ten percent of parliament where 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 female. 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 if they are 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 requiring a minimum number of female lawmakers. helga lucas shot once germany to have a law similar to what many other european countries already have she's optimistic

that there will be parity regulations one day. but that's too late for cloudy and a few who can only hope that future generations of female politicians will find a more level playing field. speaking of fields for going to sports now and it's been a successful day for byron munich and their new coach opined yes his fourth term which began in fine style with a five nil win over freiburg it was no surprise fiber have never won against byron in their entire history and byron were also boosted by rivals dortmund losing for the first time this season going down three two at home to our real life elsewhere and saturday's games hoffenheim were held by all shall go one away to herit to mind speed hamburg three two and frankfurt got the better of head over late on on sunday workers and host both travel to bremen should eat bottom side cologne on friday so what does all that mean for the bonus like a table now well let's take
