6:03 pm
often drags on this was meant to be all over by now he was meant to be temporary prime minister some hours ago and yet the speeches in parliament just keep on going public and boss deputies criticizing him time time again and not yet saying whether they will give him that support the had been promised people saying here that they're worried that that that this will be taken from the last minute having seemed like a foregone conclusion just this morning all right in a sea of people gathered where you are we're looking at a footage shot right now of the crowd they gathered all the support for bush on it looks massive they're out in force what do they hope he can do for them. change is what people say talking telling him that what they want what they want is freedom of that's pretty difficult to pin down i think another thing that you would hear from people here is a sense that they want to let level playing field a level playing field without corruption without cronyism they say at the moment
6:04 pm
you're not related to someone in power by blood or by marriage your chances of having a business or political career in this country are pretty slim and indeed lots of people lots of means are immigration because the economic situation is very difficult we spoke to some people out in the square earlier today let's have a listen to what they had to say. that is new and we have taken to the streets for our country for freedom for our people for ourselves not all do done us i don't worship him the most important thing to us is freedom in our country so people can live freely and happily without fear you already overworked while bodacious you are semi bias and that there is the gnashing our biggest hope is that our country will now be gallant honest people since the breakup of the sub union we only had thieves kleptocrats and murderers and power and that strategy don't hide the forney guys not going to have a good deed see krisna go about doing it honestly two weeks ago i wouldn't have
6:05 pm
thought we would see something on the scale that the people would all rise up i knew that many were dissatisfied but i was unaware of the scale just a lot riding on this one man a nikka now the million dollar question when can we expect a result. that's obviously something no one here in this square behind me can give an answer to we're all watching we all glued to awesome our phones people crowded around cause with their radios on listening to every word being said in parliament but as the even goes on people leave work more and more people streaming here into the center of yerevan square they're all hoping for a resolution by end of the tonight and say i've told us that should you not become prime minister by the end of the day they will stay out on the square and stay there till he gets about right nick calio recording from the armenian capital here of on thank you. are entering up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. police in nigeria say at least twenty four people have been

6:07 pm
australia has ordered the country's highest ranking catholic cardinal george pell to stand trial on multiple charges of sexual abuse hell is the most senior member of the catholic church to be tried on such charges all details about the allegations haven't yet been made public but police say there are they are historical sexual assault charges dating back several decades pal has pleaded not guilty and a date for the trial has yet to be sent. well with me in the studio now is ever your own religious affairs correspondent martin martin good to see you. that is treasure to face trial how damaging is this for the catholic church well it is clearly you know it's a stain on the vatican at least in terms of sort of public appearance but at the very same time i mean it's sort of the fact that there was released to the australian authorities are released to defend his name in a court of. shows and is actually willing to put very very high ranking people.
6:08 pm
in front of national authorities oh unprecedented is this put this into context it is absolutely unprecedented for somebody of this disruption to be facing national authorities furthermore the church has been systematically reluctant to present documents or to present evidence to national authorities prosecuting prosecuting sexual abuse or cover up charges however the. does not mean that they have not done it they have not done it willingly once again for somebody at this stage of his career ia this rank is actually something really quite remarkable and more than refresh my recollection who is cardinal pell and what is exactly being accused of bill was the highest ranking figure off those trillion church he became one of the most important conservative cardinals within the cardinal school and he is. an ambiguous figure in relation to this pope i mean he's somebody that was very close
6:09 pm
to the nerd circle that minister to the inner circle but he took actually a very open position against the pope reforms and in fact he actually supported people directly criticise a pope within that within the cardinal school i mean including including some very very very conservative voices it is not really completely clear as to whether putting this man to go back to australia is something that the pope would see. it's a political problem much of the country this could also be read as an opportunity for the pope to farther he said to reforming the cardinal and so the core of the catholic church or this could also be the vatican leaving this cardinal out to dry very much so indeed this is so disappointing the point is that in fact this is somebody that in many ways is sort of part of the brand so it's something that he's looks like you know central attacking somebody very much in the core but at the very same time it's somebody that it's very closely associated with groups you know
6:10 pm
wanted to essentially preserve a study of schools so this is not necessarily a. you know moment for this purpose in. religious affairs expert thank you so very much thanks my pleasure. and now the news the international atomic energy agency says there is no credible evidence to suggest that iran is currently working to gain nuclear weapons or that it's had any such program in recent years all this comes after israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu unveiled documents yesterday which he says show a wrong light about its nuclear intentions in the past and is still pursuing its weapons program today the u.s. is backing israel u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o says israel's information shows the international nuclear deal with iran was quote built on lies. and then by to talk about today it is iran expert who joins us now from a disorder for mr debate of a there are two dueling narratives
6:11 pm
a dominating the headlines at the moment the one that iran is deceptive not comply and then there are those who are keeping the nuclear deal on life support by saying iran is it hearing to their terms who's come out on top. well we have an internationally recognized watchdog of the nuclear agreement which is the i.a.e.a. the international atomic energy agency they have issued ten reports that are saying iran is fulfilling its commitments so there shouldn't really be a question about this i think so how is iran reacted to that presentation. for now rather quietly i think that if the foreign minister he has basically ridiculed the statements of benjamin netanyahu of last night that was to be expected that there are no real serious reactions to that and that they are belittling his presentation so that shrugging it off is notorious and widely
6:12 pm
discredited a presentation to the u.n. in the run up to the second iraq war. well there's been and you know didn't really call for a military invasion of iran but the danger here is that this approach to to kill them a clear deal or at least to to agree to bring it at risk to sleep can leads to a two or throw or escalation in what we're already seeing in syria so that you cut off any form of diplomatic channels you basically destroy a molten actually written agreement that has to do with nonproliferation this can lead up to war and the analogy i think is a fair one but we also have to see the differences they are quite distinct there seems to be growing rivalry between israel and iran how high are tensions there is there a threat of imminent conflict or is this all rhetoric. well i think obviously we are already seeing some form of actual confrontation in the syrian theater and it
6:13 pm
can escalate further there is always the chance of unintended. incidents here and there and that's the danger of it but i think for the moment we are still seeing mainly a war of words all right a war of words so that's unfolding on the international stage and now you already alluded to it syria iran iranian influence is growing a considerably in the middle east it's increasing our ground presence is cause of concern not just for the israelis but the gulf states are also wary of tehran's intentions do they have reason to be worried i think the main issue here is that for the uranium regional strategy this is about the tyrants and defense on the ground outside of tehran this is obviously not seen as such but rather as aggressive expansion now unless people are mature enough to sit together to speak about security concerns this spiral act spiral of accusations will continue and we will unfortunately see further diplomatic standoff as we have seen for example also between iran and saudi arabia and then talk about how they iran expert thank you.
6:14 pm
you claim. are you watching the news with a lot more to tell you about including in sports see you pecos and his by munich side face one of their toughest tasks of the season so far they're in madrid ahead of their champions league clash against wear yellow and need to turn around a first like deficit in order to keep their travel hopes alive. but first to germany is losing patience with washington street brinkmanship. the german economy minister is not happy about this he says the raising metal tariffs is the wrong way it hurt job's in germany europe and the u.s. but peter says putting off the decision is donald trump just hours before the midnight deadline is a big problem because of the persistent uncertainty it's causing businesses. that's die of relief for the european steel industry at least for now the next four weeks
6:15 pm
the e.u. can continue to sell steel and aluminum to the u.s. with that additional tyrants. back in march donald trump signed off on plans to impose tariffs of twenty five percent on steel imports and ten percent on r.u. minium two weeks later he granted the e.u. and several countries a temporary waiver that exemption ended on may first washington kisses the e.u. with unfair trade practices trump says if no deal is reached within the next four weeks tariffs will be back on the table analysts say now is the time for the european union to take decisive action. that i sent out of the e.u. should do three things first it has to admit that there's a problem and i think it's important to be honest second it needs to send a clear signal that it's not going to run away from a trade conflict in other words the americans a statement the third thing is to offer a concrete proposal at light would be a smart one the german government said simply that it had duly noted the extension
6:16 pm
that it expects a permanent exemption from the tariffs. on the money but i would have preferred to have received a definite permanent way for with immediate effect this didn't happen so now we should use every opportunity to reach a reasonable agreement. but getting both sides to agree on what's reasonable won't be any easy task. proffered sword by seventy one percent in the first quarter compared to a year ago beat analysts expectations a surge following a rise in oil prices and production positive showing for the british oil major is in line with its shell and chevron sector is benefiting from a massive rally brant crude has shot up to above seventy dollars a barrel from below thirty dollars last year. experts say three quarters of fish stocks in a new waters being overfished that spot strict new quotas which is great for the
6:17 pm
fish but bad news for local fisherman. it's nearly six in the morning and the sun is rising over the western baltic sea fisherman on previous look and his colleagues have been on the water for three hours they barely notice the sky instead they're busy heaving nets full of herring up on board it's back breaking work because main fishing ground is the bay of grouse followed the herring returned here in the spring to spawn. here again of course we're going to leave this catch area now because the herring have finished boning we can see from the dirty anchor that their work here is done the area is full of roll and built more move so look ahead to ten minutes further east to cast his nets out the european union has lowered this year's catch quota by thirty nine percent that means that fishermen will earn over a third less income from their core business today look it has caught around two
6:18 pm
tonnes of herring that's around nine hundred euros in revenue he's almost reached his seventy ton limit so he can only fish for herring one more time this year. for most of my knowledge before god have to return to the old colt one hundred seventy tons to be able to earn a half decent income we're pushing everything to the limit or paint the bolt and clean it and the water only what's absolutely essential we have to save where we can to try and balance the books but they will not on the. but there's little chance of raising catch limits for herring right now in fact the tuna an institute for baltic fishing is considering further curtailments instead temperatures are rising in the baltic making life tough for the fish. until the mid one nine hundred ninety s. reproduction rates were very good but since then there's been a continual decline the only factor involved is water temperature which is
6:19 pm
affecting various areas. but unless limits increase litka and his fellow fisherman will have to hang up their nets soon they'll be no point catching herring they'll shut up shop like a thousand others in the region before them. back to lay the and signs of change on the korean border have salute me some confidence building measures unfolding there north and south korea have begun taking concrete steps to improve relations as outlined at a summit between the two countries leaders last week so has asked the united nations to oversee the month last balling of a nuclear test site used by pyongyang both sides meanwhile have started taking down speakers that blare propaganda across the border as a first step that could signal a longterm thaw on that divided peninsula. for years south korean loudspeakers have blasted propaganda and pop music at north korean border regions
6:20 pm
now they're being permanently removed north korea is reportedly doing the same with their own south facing speakers. since two thousand and fifteen the clocks of north and south korea were out of sync by half an hour after north korea created its own time zone later this week the north will reset its clocks to match seoul time according to a government decree these measures of reconciliation are the first signs that last week's into korean summit was more than just words. in the coming weeks the enter korean border could again become the side of historic talks u.s. president donald trump suggested the so-called peace house as a possible location to meet with north korean leader kim jong un. there's something that i like about it because you're there you're actually there where if things work out there's a great celebration to be had on the site not in
6:21 pm
a third party country i will say this the good news everybody watches it has the chance to be a big event. it is likely that trump will not offer him any concessions unless kim agrees to dismantle north korea's nuclear weapons arsenal while disarmament remains a distant goal kim has already promised to scrap his country's main nuclear test site. south korea ever skeptical of north korea's promises has asked the united nations to oversee the shutdown. moon said the u.n. support would be important not only for the improvement of inner korean relations but also for the success of the upcoming us north korea summit. the first steps toward peace on the korean peninsula have been significant but largely symbolic the real work of ending seven decades of hostilities is still ahead. byron munich face an uphill battle tonight they're up against real madrid in the
6:22 pm
second leg of their champions league semifinal we all of won the first leg and go into the game as clear favorites but their coach isn't letting that go to his head . me to turn this tie on its head star players failed to dazzle in the first leg and now ray out of the home advantage still even just put three past them here in the quarter final and hikers is heartened by the memory. not ready because that game showed that madrid are vulnerable at home and that they aren't as solid as they look. but right now did make it through against you venters as they did in the quarter final last year i get spy and fight because though there is a big difference this time around. why wasn't the coach back then and on tuesday it will be a different team than the one which played last year. the opponents however are the same this stars talent and their coaches confidence also remain unchanged.
6:23 pm
oh look at the no most important thing for us is to think about winning the match and nothing else. to come onto the pitch and to win the match you that's our goal you not to speculate not to overthink not to step back and do strange things sit down does have the upper hand but he knows not to underestimate his opposition. by and will not be worried at all and will come to play a great match they're a great club and a great team and we are aware of that and what is the most. certainly high praise but by our now face the difficult task of living up to their opponents' expectations. already to me is the power of folly ileus is outside real madrid's the stadium where it's all going to go down later on pablo just a few hours until kick off how confident are rigid fans of reaching the final.
6:24 pm
where you're speaking to one player and we're incredibly confident and i've been speaking to and many ramadan fans today and they're feeling like they're going to come out with a victory of course this is a stadium that is notoriously difficult for. any visiting side saying that though there's a lot of talk here in the press and even among sometimes we're going to be feel a little bit unrealistic at the moment and graham would have informed incredibly well particularly the domestic league i'm in this because this season and even in the champions league let's not forget that in the last friend they actually lost their last game against juventus but they went away of course on that i can get so there is a feeling of confidence because that's just the way their mother in the states but in many other ways they know that it's going to be a very very tough match against byron you know all right and still up for grabs the very last at home as you alluded to but they still have a chance what are their fans saying about the game. tonight well that's it's a burn unit finds a troubled over here to spain to soak up some sunshine just like in germany of
6:25 pm
course i know i've seen plenty of the mat milling about here and so the sun telling them now they'll just be the big group of them actually coming down in an hour or so and i've seen loads of later hosing in madrid which is something you don't often see a lot and of course if people are feeling very confident that's not forget as well that you can't just say the last time bahrain actually won the treble and it was under your kind is back in twenty thirty and in fact by munich beach remedied here at the something i will get my mail back in twenty twelve and also this could be his last tour racquets of course he's leaving as manager of the barn unique in the summer so farm uniforms are feeling super confident it's going to be one of those big european nights of football that everyone really enjoys right amazing and publicly alias is there to bring it all for us thank you so very much trouble enjoy the game for later on. thanks a lot. i reports are emerging that former manchester city and inter milan coach roberto mancini has agreed to take over the italian national team the fifty three
