this is a w. news live from the world the way it startled trumps the station of the iran nuclear deal never ever ever in my life have i seen any transaction so incompetently negotiated as that deal with iran in american presidents has long said he plans to scrap the deal nuclear program that decision is due in hours also on the program. from prime minister two from protest leader to prime minister call question young that led demonstrations to force the

resignation of on obvious prime minister two weeks ago now crowds are celebrating his parliament elected to the top. if you know the edge of a volcano people in hawaii have lava fountains in their backyards and scientists say there is no way to predict when the eruptions will stop. until gale welcome to the program u.s. president donald trump is expected to announce later whether he has decided to withdraw the united states from the iran nuclear deal with the trump has repeatedly criticized it as being one sided and too lenient on iran accusing the islamic republic of violating its terms don't formally ask the joint comprehensive plan of action it was signed in two thousand and fifteen and is meant to type iran's nuclear weapons program president trump has resisted pressure from european partners who want to save the deal insisting that it 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 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 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 pressure in spiling up on washington to say in the court 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 endorsed unanimously by the u.n. security council. on monday the u.k.'s 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 you can be tougher on iran but 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 strom's complains many fear the us president has made up his mind. so what has they twenty fifty nuclear deal achieved well to cut its stockpiles of uranium a material that when enrich can be used to produce nuclear weapons it also reduces difficultly the number of its centri fuses used in the enrichment process in return the united states the u.k. germany france china and russia lifted international sanctions which had been crippling the iranian economy the u.s. nuclear watchdog the i.a.e.a. says he ran is complying with its side of the deal but the us president is still scathing being particularly critical of the fact that some of the restrictions placed on iran's nuclear program could be lifted in twenty twenty five he says it fails to deter iran from developing ballistic missiles as well so let's get more on

this from d.w. correspondents custom phenomena in washington and betty riegert in brussels so welcome both custer phenomena in washington was will start with you if mr trump does pull america out of the deal does that necessarily mean it will fall after all there are eight signatures to it. you know that's a big question and depends on what donald trump is going to say exactly i mean you never know with on a trump so it still could be that he's announcing he will be announcing another diplomatic initiative or that he would announce the deal but not immediately pull out of it but clearly that is very unlikely everybody expects donald trump to announce that he would not extend the sanction relieve that iran has enjoyed under the existing iran nuclear deal and that would mean that the u.s. in this case would be violating the agreement because iran is hearing to the deal

effectively do you would pull out of the deal now as you said there are other signatories states so it doesn't have to unravel iran would have an excuse to restart its nuclear program but they have also been some. statements from iran saying well we might stay in but the americans believe that the iranians or the critics of the trump alleve that the iranians will use this to drive a wedge between the europeans and the americans and maybe still. stay in the deal but only for more concessions from the europeans but rigorous in brussels european countries have been meeting today to underline their support for this deal what's their plan if mr trump pulls out. the e.u. three great britain france and germany have actually met today with iranian officials here in brussels just to reassure them that they will not pull out of the treaty the so far that the treaty is working and that the european union will stick

it to all conditions of the agreement as long as the iranians do the same and the three says very clearly the way donald trump is now officially choosing to throw away the whole deal is the wrong way there are mechanisms and ways and means to amend or to alter the deal if need be and the you doesn't have a political plan b. but an economic plan b. is. being hammered out currently because the european companies who are invested in iran they should be protected from sanctions if they kick in especially european bangs could could suffer if trumpery news that his sanctions cause a fall nabhan we all know that this was a big trump pledge when he was campaigning for the presidency but is that a strategy beyond get out. not really as you

said this was one of the themes of his election campaign and he clearly wants to deliver on that campaign a promise he also seems to believe that he can after tearing up the existing deal renegotiate with the iranians to get a better deal a deal that would also address the issue of iran's ballistic missile program and also its support for groups like hezbollah or its interference in other countries in the middle east such as yemen or syria but the question of course is why should iran come back to the negotiation table after the americans haven't even stuck to the existing deal and as his critics of mr trump also on capitol hill from the democratic party has pointed out the americans will have much less leverage now even if they impose tougher sanctions on iran because this would be if you need a letter or a sanctions and before that there were a multilateral international sanctions in place the u.s. might not have the leverage anymore to force iran back to the negotiation table

because of phenomena in washington banter regas in brussels thank you. and you'll find more analysis and background on the iran nuclear deal how website that's a d w dot com and of course will come out mr trump's announcement to life this evening here on the topic has turned to the news armenia's pollens has elected opposition leader nicole as prime minister the second vote in as many weeks last week he was eight votes short of the root of the public apology he refused to support his candidacy is to push amiens election from his weeks of peaceful protests that eventually forced resignation of the country's long time leader two weeks ago. spring in detail because when the nick connelly who's in the armenian that capital welcome nic what's going on what's this decision likely to maine for armenia. get up to

fill well this feels a bit like the morning after a long night even though we're still the day of the boat michael see behind me. people still out with their posters and their cause. the flags out in force we just had to read still reign the sense people scattering across the city they had gathered here media after the vote which saw nicholl passion young finally getting his his majority to be made prime minister. the mood here is very optimistic it's not easy to ation he's got enough votes to be made prime minister but he doesn't have a majority in parliament so the ruling republicans who prevents him becoming prime minister last week can still veto every reform he tries to choose but he says he's going to use this time to clean up the electoral system make it fairer and then hold new elections which presumably he hopes will give him a legitimate mandate of his own rather than being just the prime minister the street also being a prime minister with the ballot box behind him. nick connelly and thank you.
