3:03 pm
a revolution that has lots of symbols hand gestures songs we also what it meant they said it was just about a bit of fun so there's a big big release today off these weeks of tension uncertainty that now actually. got the votes from the opposition from the republican party come prime minister in terms of where we go from here while he still doesn't have a majority in parliament he says his priority is to change the voting system to make it fair and to fight corruption so that mean you can have fresh elections fair elections he would put it and presumably he will be going for his own mandate is a religious but mandate as directly elected prime minister through the ballot box and not just through the streets and this rise to power that we have witnessed in the past couple of weeks nicholas it has been called the peaceful revolution what message does it send to neighboring countries what message does that send to the people of armenia. well that's exactly it's there isn't it i mean it's not a country that sees many international jenna's coming here on a regular basis you hear
3:04 pm
a lot from iran this is after all and they just three million people but it sits at the heart of a crucially strategic region where the former soviet union meets the middle east it's a region with neighbor has by john georgia that have seen a lot of economic stagnation since the end of communism and even in russia this is being watched very closely in the protests yesterday that accompanied president putin's inauguration people were out on the streets of moscow with armenia flags with post saying if the armenians can do it we can to do this example of pretty spontaneous mass protests this country three million with seven hundred thousand people out in the street this degree of asian. he's infectious and it's something that's. very closely russia's sort of he's very scared and it's very this kind of people power but so far they've said they would get involved and they think this is just. playful here and lots of uncertainty but a lot of goodwill i'm sorry nicholas for interrupting you there but i just want to talk. for consolidating power going forward you know he was voted in by
3:05 pm
a party that was not behind him up until now can he rely on the fact that they will back him in the future. they said as they vote they were voting for him basically through which is in spite of its budget themselves they didn't necessarily like his policies but they were doing this to believe the country and they said that they wouldn't let him get away with legislation with effort that they don't support but that they would all support him for the sake of stability so you house to basically go back to the country get his own judgment mandate through new elections when we don't. confuse their people they're very. this development very noisy in fact nic thank you so much for your reporting. i've got a quick check now of some other stories that have been making news around the world north korean leader kim jong un and chinese president xi jinping have held
3:06 pm
a two day meeting in the northern chinese city of dalia it is the allies second such meeting in recent weeks she reportedly voiced support for a plan to some of between kim and u.s. president donald trump that summit is expected to focus on north korea's nuclear program. agree court has found five volunteers who rescued syrian migrants from the sea not guilty of people smuggling prosecutors have charged the defendants with illegally bringing migrants to the island of lesbos the accused claimed that the authorities had put them on trial to discourage migration to europe. 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 terms of the agreement meant to curb tehran suspected nuclear weapons program trump has resisted pressure from european partners who want to save the deal he insists that the agreement must be changed for the u.s.
3:07 pm
to stay on board slamming the nuclear deal with iran has been one of donald trump's fiery asst mottos before and after taking office here and you know was one of the worst and most one sided transactions the united states has ever entered and 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 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.
3:08 pm
and the european union put their name to it now the pressure is piling up on washington to say india court is an offer for different 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 when agreement that had been indorsed unanimously by the un security council on monday the u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson arrived in washington in last minute diplomatic efforts to deter the us administration from scrapping the deal. we think we can fix all that working with our european friends because it will be tougher on iran but
3:09 pm
not throw away that the the heart of the deal which is all about stopping them getting a nuclear weapon 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 trumps complaints many feared the u.s. president has made up his mind. and. cut off today with ahmed nouri pour a lawmaker from germany's green party for his take on the potential fallout from president trump's decision on the iran nuclear deal have a listen. i mean new report what does that stake today with the decision of donald trump. deal with iran is the only obstacle against a nuclear nation of the middle east it's obvious that iran's getting a fast track to the bomb without inspections and inspections are part of this deal so we need a deal to prevent iran from getting the bomb to get a bomb but of course after iran we know that there are
3:10 pm
a couple of other countries in the region who would try to get a bomb too if trump would say no what many expect today what would that mean is there still an option to renegotiate the deal or is there an option to change the american position in the future of course it's about the congress to congress could prevent the americans leaving libya but if they do not. if they do not stay in the deal and keep the deal it's our job as europeans and as signatories to try everything we can to keep the deal together with a with the chinese in the in the rushes this is one of the bad side effects of that what trump is doing pushing us into the arms of the chinese and the russians and this is not a good option why is the deal so important for germany and particularly no deal means no inspections no inspections or. best way for iran to get a bomb in a fast track and iran getting the bomb means
3:11 pm
a nuclear nation of the neighbor region for europe this is the core of our national and continental interests to keep the deal and if the us president it's reckless enough to ignore our interests we have to to care for ourselves and actually was in washington monument call you wrote a letter to mr trump does he nor all these arguments i'm not sure if it's only europe been ignored by trump i think everybody has but trump is ignoring a trump but it's about the core of foreign national interest and national security interests so it's about us now to do everything we can to prevent a nuclear station off the massive conflicts we already have in the middle east. thanks a lot. and that was german politician ahmed nouri speaking a short while ago for more analysis and background on the iran nuclear deal head to g.w. dot com and we will of course be covering trump's announcement live
3:12 pm
