to the terms of the agreement meant to curb tehran suspected nuclear weapons program the us leader has signaled he may pull out a less european backers agree to rebuys the deal. slamming the nuclear deal with iran has been one of donald trump's fiery asst mottos before and after taking office here and there was one of the worst and most one sided transactions the united states has ever entered into frankly that deal is an embarrassment to the united states and i don't think you've heard the last of it believe me on monday the u.s. president announced on twitter he was ready to deliver his verdict whether he will call for the end of the deal or push for a renegotiation is not clear under to twenty fifteen agreement iran was to limit its nuclear program specifically its uranium enrichment in exchange for relief from

10:04 am

activity causes new fissures to open almost two thousand people have been evacuated officials say the garden's area is off limits to visitors now due to deadly all and think gases. after nearly a month of political crisis armenia may today have a new prime minister mass protests that erupted across the border across the former soviet bloc forced longtime leader sayers soccer to resign last week now protest leader nicole posh in yun has emerged as the top candidate to lead the government passion jaan made his second attempt today for the job he came up eight votes short last week after the ruling republican party have blocked his bid for office d.w. correspondent nick connolly is following the story for us in the capital. i see he's been at the forefront of omni news political on breath
10:08 am
leading mass protests across the capital yeah. even forcing the country's prime minister to resign. last week nick called push in ian was expecting to be appointed to the top job but he was close by the ruling party it up with. his supporters were furious. and devastated. one day later an apparent u. turn it seemed the way had been cleared for him to become prime minister after all . there was a meeting of the republican party they said that in the coming elections they would support the people's candidate. i. pushing in the so-called people's candidate cooled off the demonstrations demonstrations that have
10:09 am
proved yet van to a complete standstill. if parliament does choose his prime minister later today he'll have to do all he can to unite this country and get it moving to get the. date of his nichol is standing by for us in the armenian capital you're a bun joins us now nic parliament has walked nichol prussian from becoming prime minister once before will it clear a path to power for him today. good morning terry well that is the expectation here the ruling republican party has said they will guarantee him the necessary votes become acting prime minister they haven't said yet whether they'll vote as a block. or whether they'll just make sure he gets those crucial last few votes he needs last week and in recent days we've seen quite considerable efforts by them sort of hold their nose and make it clear that he is not someone they would have
10:10 am
preferred but that they are willing for the sake of stability to let him pass if he fails to get those crucial fifty eight votes today then we will see snap elections which also wouldn't really be in the interest of the ruling party given how much how much frustration that would cause among the public who've already twice been promised that he would become acting prime minister and you mentioned. acting acting prime minister does that mean that even if pasha is elected today he's likely to simply be a transitional figure. it's not an assertion of transfigured but he's he wouldn't have his own mandate so this is a question of getting more legitimacy having achieved the one thing that he says is crucial and that is reform of the electoral system an electoral system which he says currently gives big advantages to the incumbent parties he wants to shake that up make it simpler and fairer and then hold new elections based on those new rules
10:11 am
and we're all expecting that he would then stand for election to get his own mandate the current situation will have him as acting prime minister but dependent on the ruling republicans as he won't have as a majority in parliament so there will be scope for them to put the spanner in the works as. well so how much cooperation. expect to get assuming he does get elected today how much cooperation can he expect to get from the old guard when it gets down to tackling those reforms you just described. well exactly and he will need all three each illegal each new law for each new attempt to reform he will need those votes that he's relying on today to pass them given that he doesn't have his own majority in parliament and so that gives them effectively a very strong instrument with which to dampen down any too radical reform that might threaten their interests having said that the alternative seems to be worse for them snap elections which given the amount of. displeasure of the public that
10:12 am
sort of last minute change of tune would provoke that seems like having him as promised but with those certain dampness brakes on his ability to change things that would seem to be the most attractive option for the ruling party at the moment he says that he only wants that to him the real priority is changing these early these election laws and then to hold new elections. thank you so much that connolly there in the armenian capital yerevan of course we'll be bringing you updates on that story throughout the day thanks nick. you are watching the news still to come we'll get you geared up for war more racing may not have the glitz and glamour of formula one but it's still all the thing is. there is there a big shareholder meetings here in germany but we get one of which is lost tons of
10:13 am
get to that in a moment and the other one is. the doors have opened at the annual meeting shareholders in germany second biggest lender are said to choose an end tiredly new supervisory board as its head to klaus peter miller steps down after half a century with the bank commands bank hopes to put a raft of problems behind it it's still reeling from the global financial crisis when he was saved by a government bailout the german government is still hold to stake but the canal spun plans to start paying a dividend again this year despite slumping earnings in a bid to boost its share price. or we talk about share price we also talk to daniel stand by for us in frankfurt the stock exchange down your comments bunch of the meeting there probably taking center stage where you are what's to be expected from it. well with today's annual meeting this is certainly also the start of the new
10:14 am
era at comcast one when close to general is leaving his job as the chairman of the supervisory board the new man in charge is most likely going to be. found he has been with spawn since two thousand and eight and until two thousand and fifteen worked as the head of the risk management investors will be very excited about further comments on which direction he wants to navigate the lender there have been lots of rumors about potential buyers in the past. for example unit of credit and also even daughter bank were always potential candidates but so far this has not worked out also investors most likely will want to know how the share price is going to develop in the last three months it has been dropping by more than fifteen percent all right so you keep an eye on that shareholder meeting for us but there's some news that got me excited when i when i read about it a mega deal between two giants in the pharma sector one's called. from japan
10:15 am
and then the london misted shi'ah both not that well known names but really giants in the industry what can you tell us about that. yes indeed those are giants another mega deal in the pharmaceutical world there have been also rumors about this potential marriage between the two companies in the past and now we are learning that kidda farmer sought to kill agree to buy the london listed shire company for forty five point three billion u.s. dollars this is happening after the japanese company will raise the amount of cash in the offer to a level of over thirty dollars to secure a recommendation the deal of course if it wins the backing off shareholders will be the largest overseas acquisition by a japanese company that's most likely going to propel turkey into the top ranks i guess we can really say that off the global drug makers investors are a little bit worried that the deal could be maybe a little bit too big the shares of share were traded this morning below the agreed
10:16 am
price indicating so shareholders still have some reservations monica ok and i believe it was sixty two billion dollars and forty eight billion pounds the london listed figure was probably confused there just just to sell but it's a lot of money a lot of money daniel called they're in for a lot of. thank you so much. and another japanese company can make a nisse on the plans to start to phase out the diesel sales in europe the car company said it would slowly withdraw from the market as dimanche rings and it will concentrate on electric cars since the fox wagon missions cheating scandal diesel has become a dirty word in europe many countries have announced rolling bans higher taxes and other restrictions on diesel vehicles. well more passengers more and more profits than ever before twenty seventeen was a bumpy year for a c.e.o.
