effect with no smoking gun critics are questioning his timing. thanks for your company everyone i leyla herat what we start with breaking developments out of armenia where the country's political crisis has just deepened this evening the country's parliament has rejected opposition leader and he called for a prime minister after the ruling party refused to back him it was the only candidate for the job he led days of protests that prompted the previous prime minister search to resign last month while pasha earlier warned that lawmakers of what he called a quote political tsunami if they fail to elect him saying the ongoing protests could turn violent even tens of thousands of his supporters are gathered outside the building where. they have been waiting all day for

a decision all right we can get you the latest start right now from a colleague who is at the scene and nick a very dramatic developments in the parliament at this past hour what more can you tell us. so we had been expecting more or less foregone conclusion that the republican party that's been in power here for almost two decades had said going into this that they would support to me is after all the only candidate and now. session of parliament ended up taking hours now is longer than had been promised had been expected they came out with a shock announcement that all through all they don't think he's up to the job of prime minister and won't support him say before we got to the vote before m.p.'s go to chelles but we heard from them that they would support him and as such he would be made interim prime minister tonight yes and as you have been reporting earlier this has been dragging on for some time so the writing was on the wall as this information trickle down to where you are to the people gathered behind you.

people here all being glued to their phones the tablets there's a big screen on the square where the. transmission all the session in parliament and you could hear the groans almost as that information went through interesting enough those people are now leaving the republic square some say they're going to come back they're just going home to housing to eat some say they're just tired they've been this since the morning so it's still a very strange how this is going to go on but question you know supporters for that part say that they are not about to leave in a hurry and this is not the end of the game even if but tonight it looks very unlikely that he will get those votes in parliament and become interim prime minister right and as you have been reporting of people have been following this in that real time i mean this was supposed to be armenia's water shed a moment. well that's obviously what the activists out in the square many of the very young were hoping for they say this is about ending the

chapter of i mean is post soviet history which been dominated by cronyism corruption and lost immigration of young people especially to russia but also to western countries they say they want to stab at getting a fairer of a fairer a level playing field to build their lives here for now it looks like the old guard is going to give up without a fight having said that i was rather surprise morning how confident how relaxed of all and seem they seem to think this was a formality but as it turns out the republican party isn't about to give up power without putting some spine is in the works right now these protests as you've been that reporting all this week have been ongoing for weeks on how tone deaf is the ruling party or do they have legitimate grounds not to endorse this particular candidate and that brings me to my next question why haven't they put forth their own candidate if they knew they were going to endorse him.

so in the fall out after the sounds rather unexpected and sudden resignation somehow they didn't seem to get round it was have a figure we stay thought could attract popular support and they spent the next few days letting people and letting people live under the expectation they would support him obviously they have a majority in parliament which gives them the constitutional rights to not vote for him having said that lots of passion and supporters would say that those elections were deeply flawed that give them that majority that people would govern but on the press a vote for the ruling party that's the whole system favors the incumbent. on paper they have the right to do so going on from here now if they don't make him from his style which they won't we'll have another election next week if another candidate isn't put forward and isn't elected next week we'll have a snap elections ok you have snap elections at that my last question to you nick. i mean we've heard we've heard the opposition leader and the only candidate say earlier that if he isn't supported there will be a declan this will be

a declaration of war on the armenian people i don't really see hostility behind you i mean are his supporters relatively confident that he will be finally elected maybe later maybe next week. it's a very confused scene here this news has only just arrived in the last hour having said that he was able to in recent days bring yerevan and other places in i mean it's a standstill occupy roads large scale civil disobedience so he's proven they have that ability to really get people out on the streets for him so far this course to be very peaceful we've seen people bring their pets their kids their elderly relatives to these protests but there is a huge disappointment here having having have this expectation that things were now basically sorted and that he's election was a formality that has now been very suddenly very rudely disappointed and we're going to have to see how he's able to rally his supporters in the house only inside he's going to respond to the republican party nick calmly reporting from the

armenian capital yerevan thank you for you continue coverage. all right want to bring you now some of the other stories making news around the world. police in nigeria say at least twenty four people have been killed by suicide bombers in the northeastern city of movie the two bombers detonated their explosives at a mosque the attacks bear all the hallmarks of the islamist militant group boko herat. an abandoned high rise building in south pollo brazil has collapsed following huge lakes least one person was killed the twenty six story building was frequently occupied by squatters and this fear there may be more casualties. and australian court has ruled that vatican treasurer cardinal george pell must stand trial on multiple charges of sexual abuse that date back decades is the most

senior catholic official to be tried on such charges the seventy six year old has pleaded not guilty. in the capital of the philippines manila thousands of demonstrators have burned in effigy that depicted president. as a demon protest was part of may day marches they were protesting butera days the failure to keep mccain campaign promise to get rid of short term employment contracts. 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 said show iran lied 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. while the earlier i

spoke to iran expert and then they and i asked him which side is coming out on top those countries who think tehran is it hearing to the nuclear agreement or those that think iran has been deceiving the international community for many years. well we have an internationally recognized the 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 it rather quietly think that the foreign minister she has basically ridiculed the statements of benjamin netanyahu well last night that was to be expected that there are no real serious reactions to that and that they are

belittling his presentation so the shrugging it off at the moment was is the power point presentation that unfolded yesterday mr netanyahu who's collin powell moment that moment a former secretary of state that is notorious and widely discredited presentation to the u.n. in the run up to the second iraq war. well there isn't 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 clear or at least to to bring to bring it at risk to slee can lead to have two or three other 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 already seen some form of actual confrontation in the syrian theater and it can escalate further there is always the chance of unintended. incidence here and they're invested ange are at it but i think for the moment we're 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 considerably in the mideast it's increasing our ground presence this cause of cancer 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 to terence 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. really all right they're up against real madrid in the second leg of their champions league semifinal ryall won the first leg and go into the game as their clear favorites but their coach isn't letting that go to his head we're talking of course about by and you nick. me to turn this tie on its head stop players failed to dazzle in the first leg and now re 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. 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 four hundred 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. their stars talent and their coaches confidence also remain unchanged. oh look at the now 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 that's our goal you not to speculate not to overthink not to step back and do strange things 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're aware of that when he's the most. certainly high praise but

by now face the difficult task of living up to their opponents' expectations. of course are emerging that former manchester city and term milan coach roberto mancini has agreed to take over the italian national team left a three year old who is currently coaching a russian side senate at st petersburg is expected to take the reins after the final round of russian championship on may the thirteenth the absolute he has been without a ball since november when. ventura was sacked for failing. to reach this year's world cup. all right before i let you go and remind you of our main headline right now. our media's ruling party has blocked nicole partially on this from becoming prime minister partially on the lead a wave of protests that unseated the country's previous leader he said the move was a declaration of war on the armenian public thousands of whom demonstrating outside

the parliament. we'll keep monitoring of that story for you but to the face all of it is up next with your business headlines and i'll be back at the top of the hour hope to see that. you. can. learn german with w. . any time any place. with or with jo jo and her friends. i need to step into the next door neighbor musician criticisms which should.
