4:02 pm
i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program. u.s. president dull 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's nuclear weapons program now trump has resisted pressure from european partners who want to save the deal she 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 asst mottos before and after taking office urantia 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
4:03 pm
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. and the european union put their name to it now the pressure is piling up on washington to say india court if the united states. the door on it to put it mildly the united states will be in material breach. oh when agreement that had been endorsed unanimously by the un security council
4:04 pm
on monday the u.k.'s 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 or working with our european friends because it would be tough on iran but not throw away that the whole of the deal which is all about stopping them getting nuclear weapons 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 complains many feared the us president has made up his mind. so what exactly has the twenty fifteen nuclear deal achieved let's have a look tehran cut its existing uranium stockpile a material that when enrich can be used to produce nuclear weapons it also dramatically cut its number of centrifuges which are used in the investment process
4:05 pm
in return the united states the u.k. germany france china russia they all lifted international sanctions which have been crippling the iranian economy the un's nuclear watchdog the i.a.e.a. says that iran is complying with its side of the deal but the us president still isn't happy is particularly critical of the fact that some of the restrictions placed on iran's nuclear program can be lifted in twenty twenty five also he says that it fails to deter iran from developing a list six missiles so let's get more on this now we're going to bring in i've nonce about to buy he's an iranian expert who is joining us this afternoon from welcome to you and i'd like to begin by first and foremost asking you how big a threat iran really was before this deal was reached and how did the deal change that. in fact what the what the deal did was to
4:06 pm
increase the. mechanisms as you say the transparency of iran's nuclear program while at the same time reducing the scope of it sold the words making the world a safer place with regards to the possibility of the wrong. and i think this has been the key incentive of the of the partners to sign this deal with iran we heard about those concerns and you know coming in twenty twenty five when the deal expires how big do you see it the threat that iran could have nuclear proliferation is that a valid credible criticism of the deal. look if you if you want to enter the. arena of speculations that everything is possible unsinkable particularly in this volatile part of the of the world in this group of all those region with is that you have verification measures that would not stop altogether up to the agreement iran has signed it is no protocol of the of the n.p.t.
4:07 pm
therefore you in fact have the continuation of control measures which reduce the threat posed by. i want to talk a little bit more about that on the diplomatic front because we know that the europeans for their part they have been lobbying trump not to abandon the deal they've been talking about a possible compromise do you think that there's a chance we could see a compromise today. i actually think one of the trump strategy might be another in-between solution so he may not waive the sanctions you supposed to to wave but not also with the say i'm withdrawing from the agreement in the that to the procedures that are then to follow i think his strategy of keeping everyone in there both will continue because that strategy has proved to be. effective and the europeans have not managed to to bring him back on track with regards to the us and if he does not keep the situation and limbaugh saying he
4:08 pm
takes it one step further toward you know potential withdrawal here say that he reinstates sanctions or he allows them allow them to go through against iran how do you see that playing out. in fact with iran will do is to complain about us noncompliance to the joint commission which is the political level of service of observer observer in disagreement and then we have a thirty forty days period in which talks on the highest political levels in the parties of the removed will take place and depending on how that will play out whether iran feels it is isolated in the corner or backed by the remaining. signatories to the agreement you want to vent think about in fact responding to u.s. withdrawal by for example starting in richmond to high levels that is allowed to but that will very much depend on how the europeans the russians do this my niece reacts to a possible u.s. withdrawal i've done by iran expert joining us thank you
4:09 pm
for. and we have more background and analysis on the iran nuclear deal you can head to our web site t w dot com we will also be covering trump's announcement live this evening but first we'd like to turn to some other news because the conflict in syria recently entered its eighth year the united nations estimates that more than four hundred thousand people have been killed children are particularly vulnerable to bombs falling on residential areas thousands have been killed in government airstrikes and many others left with permanent disability our reporter yulia han met one young victim in the city of ghazi untapped in southern turkey now this ten year old lost her right leg after an airstrike in eastern aleppo and she has since learned to walk but every day has become a struggle. moggi does stays start very early. and they're exhausting. in front of

4:19 pm
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 acquisitions 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 love turns his 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. last month germany moved to ban on exports to countries involved in the yemen rule but existing deals won't be affected like the six submarines to some clips still plans to deliver it to turkey despite being a potential threat not just to yemen but to the entire region meanwhile protests

4:22 pm
more severe we have been inundated with phone calls. regardless of how good business is the boss doesn't believe that digging your own well is the solution to the water crisis using the ball wisely means done more to your garden six hours or ten hours a day forget to leave the pump on and think i'll switch it off tomorrow something not that use it are new for me it's the city's. one company that has a long history in the water business is jo-jo tanks its tanks can be found all over south africa and at its plant and western employees are working around the clock to meet demand. a single job like this really challenges speedboats thinking about how they live how they use wood and it does pay off that unity challenge be a bit like putting a play shall we spinning all sorts of or deciding to us the cycling and it does

4:25 pm
this eruption is likely to continue. the side of love a 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 confined to the small area of hawaii's big island a place where homes are relatively cheap because of that closeness to the volcano and now the people who live there stands to lose all they own as a lawyer consumes everything in its path. flow. you're watching news still to come on the program have we just seen a peaceful revolution and are many out there. we'll get the latest from the capital you're about where crowds are celebrating the election of opposition leader. as

4:29 pm
a cia backed overthrow of iran's prime minister back in one nine hundred fifty three and the u.s. embassy hostage crisis after the one nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution but efforts in recent years to reach a nuclear deal produced something of a far. research group or travel to tehran to find out how people there view the u.s. today. down with usa it's hard for anyone passing through this busy square in tehran to miss this message it's not only here that slogans denouncing the united states are on display but this is the most famous spot. these moros has been among visit us favorite spots for sneaky selfies for decades but what's really interesting is what lies behind them it's one of the most coveted buildings in all of iran and the one place you need to see to understand the deeply rooted mistrust many iranians have in the u.s. so come on follow me inside. hidden behind this wall is what used to be the
4:30 pm
american embassy in tehran dubbed the den of espionage by the uranian government it's the site where a major international hostage crisis took place today the building is a museum run by the revolutionary guards one of the guides takes us around but he doesn't want to show his face on television on display buying equipment and this bug proof room the cia used back in the one nine hundred fifty s. when the u.s. toppled iran's democratically elected prime minister mohammad most a deck something the guide says iranians will never forgive the american government for or. at the us and being pockets of the vista and country this is the problem for the rainy people for the. us and for each and any of us the king should be.
4:31 pm
not to be selected and powered by divison countries as i'm sure you know about interventions the biggest one was the one nine hundred fifty three. having empowered. with that fee old have problems with these interventions. to prevent another one iranian students storm this building after the islamic revolution and held the embassy staff hostage for four hundred forty four days that marked the end of the two countries friendship once and for all. when the tourism over we pass posters depicting the us as a great satan but we're not allowed to film them. their views presented inside the museum extreme but how many iranians share them after all that was almost forty years ago so how much influence does all of that still have on politics public to find out let's leave this place just
4:32 pm
a few hundred meters away is what's known here as the artist park a totally different world here young iranians enjoy the trappings of the so-called great satan burgers coca-cola and cigarettes their views are more balanced. and i accept that america is an advanced country and i think our country should have a closer relationship and be able to exchange ideas in the field of technology for example but one can't predict the policies of countries. in my opinion america is a country that's breaking apart piece and i think this is all happening because of mr trump. this is a view shared by more and more young iranians these days but that's not because of history but rather current politics one political analyst tells us what is making. the people see the show. and.
4:33 pm
see the problem between us and. right now the down with usa signs don't get much attention here in toronto but if trump scraps the nuclear deal that might soon change. or maybe as parliament has elected opposition. young as prime minister it was the second vote in as many weeks supporters gathered outside parliament in the capital last week he came up eight votes short after the republican party failed to. support his candidacy the legend comes after weeks of peaceful protest forcing the country's longtime leader to resign. from correspondent nick connelly who is in the armenian capital caravan thanks so much for joining us nic there have been protests now for over a month as we've just heard what has the reaction been like there on the streets now that there has been this new prime minister elected.
4:34 pm
you know off new sarah well the reaction has been pretty ecstatic that's been slightly dampened by the deluge you might get see behind me we had tens of thousand people out a little bit square in the last few hours and then suddenly a sort of hurricane like winds came up and the whole thing got very wet very fast and most people were left dodging for cover running to restaurants but we still have people driving across honking their horns and there is dictation that perhaps this evening with there will still be some kind of celebration called so all the public square you know fans because square with the compassion coming to speak to support space so far so very fluid here but the mood is extremely genteel and what we know about are many of us knew outside our prime minister and accomplishing our . he's a journalist by trade he's someone who got into a lot of complications with the powers that be here for his investigative journalism he was even present a short while after he was involved in protests ten years ago when there was
4:35 pm
disputed election he has being on the inside he's not just amount of street he's being in parliament for the last five or six years will be a very small party didn't have much to say and so this has taken over by surprise this man who was a voice of criticism but outside a voice of paula has been able in the space of a few weeks to really turn this country on its head and beginning with small marches with only a couple dozen supporters bringing tens if not hundreds of thousand people out into the streets and become prime minister and has been so dramatic and what has this political drama meant for our man and what are the implications for the wider region what you say. that's the crucial thing here i mean i mean this is a country that gets too much is national attention truly a country of three million inhabitants but it's in a crucial region where the former soviet union states meet the middle east it's a region where lots of countries have seen decades of stagnation have really been
4:36 pm
able to make that transition off into communism and it's a process of over evolutions they won't watch very closely in moscow in ukraine in neighboring countries there were demonstrates on streets mostly to say we don't mean in flags opposed to saying if the armenians can do it we can too so this is definitely that has a wider ramifications not just from yours three million people nicolas connelly with the latest from there a van in armenia thank you nic. let's get a quick check now some other stories that have been making news around the world north korean leader kim jong un and the chinese president xi jinping have held a two day meeting in the northern chinese city of yangon is the allies second such meeting in recent weeks she reported they employ support for a plan to summit between kim and u.s. president donald trump that summit is expected to focus on north korea's nuclear program. police in india's jharkhand state have arrested fifteen people in connection with two separate rape cases both teenage girls one of the victims died

4:40 pm
is trying to say what they believe the key message is here's one user for example who says that he believes that what's childish and you know is trying to talk about is how easily we forget about the shootings and tragedies and to get distracted by silly dances mean and viral videos he says the video to him was very powerful here's a sociologist from the u.s. she says this is the second day of thinking about this is america i find it interesting that so many said they watched it forty thousand times the fact that the masses have the appetite to watch black people being ironically murdered again and again is itself a devastating commentary on this country so this is the discussion that we are seeing right now on social media ok so a lot of criticism there but you know some other people also calling this a pop music masterpiece what are they saying. absolutely there praising of the
