12:03 pm
teeth saying they were only doing this in the interests of national civility not because they supported him and not because they believed in his agenda after a week of uncertainty things end up going over all the fuss it was all started slap bang on time just two hours before they ruffle through their speeches. being very clear to set out a detailed policy agenda or off to criticism advance of this that he was very large on the detail and big on the emotive words and now we expect him to move to public square just a few kilometers down the road from where i am now to meet his supporters. and this has been called it has been classified as a peaceful revolution the way that he has risen to power what message does his victory send not only to neighboring countries but also to the people of armenia. this is the interesting thing sara i mean there is a country of three million people there are more i mean is living outside the country in the diaspora than inside the country is not a country you hear reported from often but this is
12:04 pm
a region of great tensions geopolitical tensions of economic tensions and it's a story that's being really watched very closely in the other countries the former soviet union if you can russia yes they without it putin's inauguration there were protesters out with the armenian flag with posters saying that what the armenians can do we can do to so this if it proves possible to change power from a policy that would be in control for a long time and to move to a more inclusive system that is able to bring in the younger generation that suffered under this post soviet stagnation and that will be a very strong single to neighboring countries not traditionally russia has been very hostile to street protests will remember georgia and ukraine so far they're showing themselves quite restrained they haven't tried to come in on our side and say this is an internal i mean you might say but that will be the real test to see if moscow with its military bases in extensive economic ties to armenia really allows passion to get down to the job without advancing some kind of demands and
12:05 pm
we're looking at pictures there i mean you can just see the sense of jubilation supporters of his that are gathered on the streets with only celebrating making noise and i want to talk about because you talked a bit about you know how this is being received internationally but also domestically and what are his chances of consolidating power within the country because we know that he was voted in by a party that was not behind him up until now came here for a lie on them to back him in the future. short answer is no they made very clear that they were giving into the demands of the street now to prevent some sort of further destabilize the situation but they wouldn't give him blind allegiance they didn't give him all their votes on the ten of the gypsies gave them their votes to allow him to get in but they said that they will prevent him passing laws they don't agree with they say he has dangerous populistic tendencies and they weren't supported so this is only the beginning of the road for nickel but a very impressive and very unexpected group. as so many questions still yet to be
12:06 pm
answered but nicholas connelly walking us through all of it live from the armenian capital yerevan we appreciate it. well now we're going to head to hungary where viktor orbán is set to be reelected in parliament for his third consecutive term as prime minister his nationalist party won a decisive victory back in april securing him a two thirds super majority that's being contested by protesters who are challenging the electoral laws and the government's legitimacy critics gathered outside of parliament to oppose the supermajority which will give orbán a free hand to alter the constitution he campaigned on an anti immigrant platform and has vowed to safeguard hungry christian culture. to some other news now in u.s. president donald trump is expected to announce his decision on the future of the iran nuclear deal later today trump has repeatedly said that iran is violating the
12:07 pm
terms of the agreement meant to curb tehran suspected nuclear weapons program has resisted pressure from european partners who want to save the deal he insists that the agreement must be changed for the u.s. to stay on board slamming the nuclear deal with iran has been one of donald trump's fiery inst mottos this for and after taking office. the iran deal was one of the worst and most one sided drives actions 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 every negotiation is not clear under to twenty fifteen agreement iran was to limit its nuclear program specifically its
12:08 pm
uranium enrichment in exchange for relief from international economic sanctions the deal struck under the obama administration united global powers as well as the u.s. china russia germany france the u.k. and the european union put their name to it now pressure is piling up on washington to say india court has an offer for the from the we remain convinced that this agreement will make the world a safer place we are afraid that failure will lead to escalations and that we will retreat into the years before twenty thirteen something which no one is interested in doing if the united states. the door on it to put it mildly the united states will be in material breach all with agreement that had been indorsed unanimously by the u.n. security council. on monday the u.k.
12:09 pm
foreign secretary boris johnson arrived in washington in the last minute diplomatic efforts to deter the u.s. administration from scrapping the deal. we think we can fix all that working with our european friends because it will be tough on iran but not throw away that the the heart of the deal which is all about stopping them getting a nuclear weapon with european leaders say they're open to finding compromise but the existing framework must remain untouched but in spite of europe's promises to address tromso complaints many fear the u.s. president has made up his mind. and for more let's bring in now oliver meyer an international security expert from the german institute for international security affairs we thank you so much for joining us this afternoon we know that your work it focuses on the control of weapons of mass destruction and nuclear weapons so i'd just like to first and foremost ask you of your assessment of how big a threat iran was before the deal and how big
12:10 pm
a threat now that it's in place or before the deal was concluded in twenty fifteen iran was terrifically expanding its nuclear program we did have some control is in the country but it could have broken out of these control is fairly easy to know after the you do you know iran has become the strictest controllers non-nuclear weapon state in the world the i.a.e.a. the international atomic energy agency. possibilities to to control many of these facilities in short notice some of them have been dismantled and the whole idea is to establish confidence in the peaceful nature of iran still clear program so it sounds as if and please correct me if i'm wrong it sounds as if you're saying that in your assessment the deal has been a success and if that is the case i would like to ask you what particular aspect of this deal is donald trump i'm happy with and is that a fair criticism well the deal has worked iran has rolled back its nuclear program is strictly curtailed many of its critical activities it's under strict control of the international atomic energy agency has certified that repeatedly. donald trump
12:11 pm
is have been unhappy with three aspects maybe one the deal is not strict enough he wants to have stricter controls inspections then he says it's not broad enough there should be limits on misawa on iran's regional activities and then there's the third aspect that he's not happy with this deal because obama concluded it and obama had this idea of engaging with iran and the whole trumpet ministration is unhappy with this idea of working with iran to to tell you know this nuclear program so these three things come together. you could have had a broader. more strict agreement but that was not in the cards iran was not happy to accept it at the time so in the sense this is the outcome that we had in twenty fifteen and at the time it was endorsed by the un i did nations security council unanimously so the international community as a whole stood behind the steel i think and that's at stake no i think so i mean how do you then see this potential move from the u.s. president is that a bit like kind of throwing the baby out with the bathwater
12:12 pm
a little a little self-defeating here and and does it potentially. put the threat open to iran resume a nuclear proliferation could it backfire it could backfire and there's a high risk that it could backfire trumpet ministration hopes that he can can coerce iran into complying with stricter controls the europeans disagree and they want to continue talking with iran about possibilities to add on to this agreement and that's really the strategy that europeans are trying to pursue. to get here between the united states and europe. regardless of how the decision tonight would be this would not be the end of transatlantic dialogue on this issue just briefly before we go i would like to ask you because of course this is a big slap in the face for the europeans who are signatories on this deal they're trying to work for a compromise you think we'll see it i don't think we'll see a compromise but maybe an agreement to continue working on
12:13 pm
a compromise that may be the best solution we can see tonight and we want to thank you very much all of our meyer as we mentioned international security expert from the german institute for international and security affairs we appreciate it. well let's get a quick check now of some other stories that have making news around the world agree court has found five volunteers who rescued syrian migrants from the not guilty of people smuggling prosecutors had charged the defendants with illegally bringing migrants to the island of lesbos the accused claims that the authorities had put them on trial to discourage migration figure out. nigeria's military says that it has helped rescue more than one thousand people held by the islamist militant group boko haram the hostages were rescued from villages in the northeastern state of borno most of them are women and children as well as young men forced to fight for the group. as the conflict in syria and has its seven p. year of the vast hall of human life keeps mounting children are particularly

a backyard. and here's a hint of definitely not the backyard right monica. stand out we're going from the grounds now to the air borne german flagship kariya good news there sara more passengers will coddle more profits than ever before twenty seventeen was a bump a year. see for has plenty of good news he can share with the carry a shareholder today at the annual need to aviation experts say that the challenge for germany kerio will be to keep the good times rolling beyond the end of the year . look terms is flying high on the back of its twenty seventeen a new report germany's leading airline carried more passengers than ever before and it defended its position as europe's largest carrier thanks to higher income in its cargo logistics and maintenance units is looking at the most profitable year in its
12:20 pm
history the bottom line is that lufthansa saw net profits jump by a third to almost two point four billion euros and its free cash flow which allows the airline to maintain its fleet and pay for new yorkers asians almost doubled to two point two billion euros. and that's cash left terms and needs thanks to millions in additional costs associated with acquiring parts of defunct air berlin look tensors numbers were also bolstered by lower than normal write offs last year that situation will likely change the airline is also likely to face turbulence in the form of increased competition in its long haul services and an image problem at its u.s. alliance partner united airlines. of more love tons and the aviation sector i'm joined now by aviation expert yes flo who is the annual shareholder meeting in france good to have you with us so what's the main message you're hearing there.
12:21 pm
but obviously the main my space are just very upbeat given the figures that you've just discussed but there were also there was also a lot of talk about constraints constraints to growth not enough pilots it's even harder to get it's hard to get new flight attendants enough aircraft there was a there was a lot of complaints about frankfurt airport the main hub a full of times because of increasing delays the quality of service c.e.o. costs what was talking about transferring more the flights from frankfurt to other hops in zurich and vienna and munich so it's not all good it's very successful obviously but the success brings problems that haven't been anticipated to that extent so what exactly. what those problems the other anything on the scale that. struck in european competitors like f. scale m.
12:22 pm
have to deal with. no no no i mean this these are the problems that come with success and that's a big difference if you look at half price historically there were three big legacy carriers in the us and europe british airways no international iran's group. scale and the fans are a group. of these three two were very successful r u g and loved ones of course alfonso is in deep deep trouble following the union and employee votes just earlier this week it's a rejection of the paper pozole made to management so in that sense is it a great spot very successful but it has to deal with the constraints of infrastructure employing employees and aircraft and i believe that look to answer is interested in expanding there's rumors that it might be interested in buying alitalia anything to that. you know i mean basically looked on the
12:23 pm
established your wings as a platform which will buy carriers in the future but i don't believe alitalia is going to be. targets anytime soon there's there's been an expression of interest. saying that they would look at al italia but not in the current stage it has to be restructured and there has to be a government in place in italy that can make a decision and none of that has happened so far ok so no immediate plans do you. expect at the time to annual shareholder meeting in frankfurt thank you so much. thank you. and the doors have also opened at the command spunky annual meeting shareholders in germany second biggest lender to choose an entirely new supervisory board as its head closed miller steps down off the hof a century with the bank commits bank hopes to put a raft of problems behind it it's still reeling from the global financial crisis
12:24 pm
whether it's was saved by a government bailout to the german government still holds a stake but one plans to start paying a dividend again this year despite slumping earnings in a bid to boost its share price. all right u.s. president all the trump card to be pleased about this but since he took office in january last year china has sold considerably more goods to the united states than was the despite of the hefty tariffs trump plans to impose on chinese imports and the gap appears to be growing just look at our two shopping carts as they move in in the first four months of twenty eight hundred china's trade surplus grew to more than eighty billion dollars that's around nine billion more than the same period last year so i guess we can expect a tweet or two about this anytime soon though there are other even more dangerous ways to let off steam sarah i think what you're alluding to monica is some volcanic activity literally in the united states going to turn to that now because
12:25 pm
researchers in the u.s. say that it is impossible to predict when a volcano in hawaii will stop erupting the killer way a volcano on hawaii's big island started spewing lava last thursday and since then some thirty five buildings have been destroyed and more than seven hundred people evacuated police have also warned other residents that they need to be ready to leave at a moments notice. why. where when why resident keith brought crittenton his home on sunday he was not expecting to see this in his backyard. like others in his neighborhood he was allowed to go back briefly to pick up belongings up to being evacuated last week. he later said the sound was as loud as one hundred trains and that the ground was bouncing up and down beneath his feet.
12:26 pm
this most recent activity of hawaii's kilauea way who've ok no began last week. a new fish opened up and began spewing hot lava and poisonous gases. scientists say that i'm able to predict how long the current eruption will go on well i think what we can say is this is not over. the seismicity continues. they're still back within the river song and so i think in the foreseeable future this eruption is likely to continue. the site of lava moving slowly down the street makes a curiously compelling viewing. this speeded up video shows a car being almost entirely in gulf. but it's also a disaster in the making of. the eruption and the flows of lava a confined to the small area of hawaii's big island
