this is live from berlin iran's president says its nuclear agreement is non-negotiable this as new u.s. secretary of state might come pompei open meets with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and says the u.s. is willing to walk away from that deal if it isn't changed also coming up north korean leader kim jong il and offers a step forward for deescalation on the korean peninsula in pledges to just mantel its nuclear weapons testing site and allow foreign media and experts to observe.

and. i met her welcome to the program iranian president hassan rouhani says the nuclear deal that his country reached with international powers three years ago is non-negotiable this comes as u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o two aim at that agreement on his first tour of the middle east since becoming the top u.s. diplomat now his latest stop is israel where he was warmly welcomed by prime minister benjamin netanyahu those two share a disdain for the deal it was intended to stop iran's international isolation in exchange for a verifiable end to its nuclear weapons program. a little bit of a handshake and a hug that's it now says he's proud the new secretary of state has made israel part of his first officials who are in their press conference they seem to be on the

same page especially on one of the it's a nose favorite topics iran and pulling out of the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal . presents a really good deal is a very he's director of mysteries. and i guess that these are. very straightforward. to run deal has been hailed as a landmark agreement. observers have declared it is working and iran has stopped developing nuclear bombs. but netanyahu has long maintained that this is about the more than iran's nuclear activities the trump administration agrees with him. i'm pretty sure the president's and your position on stopping the wrong question to you about aggression is a goal but before deciding to bring your own people your longer duration can be volatile. as a result of science to do the opposite. to be wrong to try to go one country will

be over the wrong one pissed off. iran also funds and supports several non-state actors in the region this includes hezbollah which is based in lebanon and fighting in syria and is committed to israel's destruction. we remain deeply concerned about iran's dangerous places the rest is rule of the region and iran's vision to dominate the middle east the way. the united states is with israel in this fight. the around deal as it stands to gain years of delicate negotiations trump must decide whether to renew the deal or renew sanctions by may twelfth. all right for more let's go to a correspondent in jerusalem now mike pompei oh says that the u.s. is going to quit this iran nuclear deal if it's not fixed what exact problems does he have with this deal. you know well there are

a few issues here at stake one the shoe that both the israelis and americans have been talking about a lot is the a ring and missile program and they're talking about only long range missiles but also medium air range missiles they say that these kinds of missiles they can they can strike israel and they can carry. their weapons of mass destruction and the deal is flawed because these missile program is not inside the new curity so that is one issue the other issue is a concerning tiger supervision they're asking for a system a type to regime that would give the u.n. inspectors to be to to go into military bases and other suspected areas in short notice and another issue at stake is it what they like to talk about is the sunset

the provision they're saying that this is the deal and that will end in two thousand and twenty five and we want to have something that will be open ended and we don't want something that will expire because once this will end the end he remains will immediately jump up there for oprah so these are the main issues a lot of these issues are not new netanyahu as long want to do us to take a more confrontational stance on iran now with pump a zero in charge it looks like he's going to get it what kinds of steps can we expect. well i think in israel at least everyone is waiting for the ring in response to an israeli air strike in syria if you remember earlier this month israel struck in a base in in syria four uranian were killed and we are waiting for their response and depending on the rain response will be the israeli response now i would imagine

that this current administration would support any israeli response to the iranian response and this of course could escalate a lot of responses pompei oh chose the middle east trip saudi arabia israel jordan for his first official tour does that mean the region is going to take center stage for the u.s. foreign policy well as you mentioned the various states you did not mention the palestinians so as we see the palestinians are outside of this equation and. even though today the policy of the palestinian authority is not to engage with the americans because of their position these are the drucilla they still have mentioned that the americans did not even attempt to reach out on this trip does he know it tends towards the palestinian authority to have any kind of the meet the two themes that the current administration has kind of like it's

really palestinian on the free without process and is now pushing more than iraq ok sunny sokol thank you very much for joining us from jerusalem. well days after historic summit between north and south korea pyongyang now says it's prepared to shut down its underground nuclear test site according to officials in the south korean capital seoul it's one of the first steps expected to be taken after north korean leader kim jong horn and south korean president in pledge to officially end the state of war between their two countries. it was a historic meeting between the two koreas where promises of peace and reconciliation were plenty but the steps on how to achieve those goals well they weren't so clear this question is key points the denuclearization of the korean peninsula and pointing the threats of regional war so far so good officials and so announce the north korean leader kim jong il shuts
