this is the w.'s live from berlin the world awaits donald trump's decision on the iran nuclear deal never ever ever in my life advice being any transaction selling competently negotiated as our deal with iran the american president has long said he plans to scrap the agreement to curb iran's nuclear program that decision is due in a couple of hours also on the program. from process leader to prime minister told her she may not let the demonstrations that forced the resignation of amin yes

former prime minister two weeks ago now crowds are celebrating as parliament elects him to the top job and. expose them to pull off the biggest upset in french football history a minute left the n.b.a. take only part of the john kerry sundram out of the french cup final. i'm still going to welcome to the program. and about two hours u.s. president donald trump is due to reveal whether he has decided to withdraw the united states from the iran nuclear deal he's repeatedly criticized it and accuses climate republic of violating its terms figurine mentees meant to come to iran's nuclear weapons program and president trump is required to reconfirm support for it every one hundred and twenty days this time he may well withdraw that support is

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 the 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 pressuring spiling up on washington to sustain 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 indorsed unanimously by the u.n. security council. on monday the u.k. 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 we will 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 trumps complains many fear the u.s. president has made up his mind. so what has they trying to fifteen nuclear deal achieved well to cut its stockpiles of uranium a material that when enrich can be used to produce nuclear weapons it also reduce significantly the number of its centrifuges 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 they went nuclear watchdog the i.a.e.a. says iran is complying with its side of the deal but the u.s. 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 cussen phenomena in washington and betty riegert in brussels welcome both custom phenomena in washington was we'll 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 will 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 pull out of the deal now as you said there are other signatory states so it doesn't have to unravel iran would have an excuse to restart its nuclear program but there 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 aleve 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 better riggers in brussels european countries have been meeting today to underline their support for this deal what's the plan if mr trump popes 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 obviously 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 suffer could suffer if trumpery news that his sanctions because of our nominee we all know that this was a big trump play when he was campaigning for the presidency but is there 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 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 of 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 our nominee in washington that bent riggers in brussels thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world is north korea's supreme leader kim jong un china's president. held a two day meeting in the northern chinese city of dahlia allies a second such meeting in recent weeks the president reportedly voiced support for a planned summit between mr kim and u.s. president all trump at summits is expected to focus on north korea's nuclear program. new york's attorney general eric schneiderman has resigned after multiple women accused him of being physically and thirdly abusive but the schneiderman has been a focal search walked off with me to the movement against sexual harassment he denies any wrongdoing weinstein company a bus has burst into flames in central rugged leaving one woman slightly injured the driver stopped near the famous trevi

fountain when he noticed smoke coming from the back police say a short circuit in the united system is to play it's the ninth such place to affect the city's aging bus fleet this year. there are media's problems as elected opposition leader and they called as the country's prime minister and the capital yet about thousands turned out to celebrate the recent. action marks a significant change of power in the former soviet state that comes after weeks of mass protests that plunge the country into crisis of course it's long time that leaders search sasha sasha to resign. to do correspondent nic calmly is in the armenian capital in getting about a welcome nic. nic there is. ok ok he sees that at least back to you we'll go back to you because really very shortly. we before we go back to nick about study that there is more from our media

on our program conflicts our. team sebastian has been in the beating the governing republican party's deputy leader amen. he asked him about the reasons behind the resignation of the republican leader. the resignation of the president was a real act or non while us policy we tried to follow up for many years you know the security is always prevailing for armenians who didn't want to put at risk the question of forming a secure with this estate well so you can. you can spin it that's. fine and you can see the full conflicts or an interview from our meeting from tomorrow evening online dot com or here at seven hundred thirty u.t.c. and let us not go to the i mean in the capital yet of how and where we find that

nick connelly welcome nick what has the reaction to this result been like on the streets. well good evening bill you might be able to see some of that reaction on republic square behind me now people babies being tossed around on people's shoulders we had a dreadful rain on your own people scattering but now that's finished people are out again and with me here now i have you should see being at these protests from the beginning and we'd like to hear from about their feelings today tell us what does this day mean for you. very important day for us or armenian nation on the it's already there finally there were other studies done we did. two weeks ago did you think this was possible yes i believe from the first day we will be in what you think needs to happen now what do you want to see changed.

we. haven't cham the margin barricades. yet. thank you very much so phil we seeing a lot of enthusiasm that a lot of excitement about what lies ahead in the weeks and months go tell us about i mean is a new prime minister and a call question you know. he's a former reporter himself someone who as an investigative reporter got into a lot of confrontation with the powers that be even went to prison some talk about ten years ago when he was involved in protest that followed a contested election he's been a parliament for the last six years in a very small faction that had three members of parliament today himself. he was a sort of. relatively low profile figure that he was definitely out of his go mainstream and he couple of weeks ago when it seemed that the former president was

going to stay in office as prime minister will people out in the streets those numbers were very big initiative but now by the end of these weeks he's managed to bring hundred thousand people out in a country of just three million to put this in context for us nic what does all this drama mean for not just the country but the wider region as well. that's the thing fill this country three million you don't hear a lot about on the news but this is being watched very closely across the former soviet union in the region especially in russia we had putin president putin's inauguration yesterday and protest as walking the streets of moscow with i mean the flag suppose he said if the armenians can do we can do it to this model all known by the protest is something that has really taken people struck people's attention in russia and even in ukraine in neighboring countries that initially very small numbers of people are able to stand up to government authorities to the police and to the military and get what they want get their. prime minister. without.

the government be able to use the nobles it's a state to prevent this. now the question will be whether he's able to actually translate those promises into into real change given that he still doesn't have a majority in parliament will need the votes of the existing parties to put his agenda into practice they call it i mean use up boisterous cattle that are yet to run thank you. the united nations estimates that more than four hundred thousand people have been killed in the seven years of syria's bloody civil war thousands have been killed in government has strikes and many others left with permanent disability didn't lose julie han her speed to meet one young victim in the city of ghazi on tap and they say in south and the ten year old lost her right leg after an asse truck in eastern aleppo she has since really learned how to walk with every day has become a struggle. margie does days start very early. and they're

exhausting. if i would visit him and her some children when they wake up they just jump out of their beds wash their faces get dressed take their bags and go i need an hour to properly put on my leg and if it doesn't work i need to ask my mom for help. in twenty thirty in the family fled syria to turkey with five years old at the time and her brother ebro him only two she still remembers the escape from aleppo very clearly and the day of the attack. we were in a pickup truck with ten other people when it happened. just after we got on the truck a plane fired on us. suddenly everything was burning. and everything was black around us i was like well. that of

a plea on when i when i regained consciousness i saw my daughter and her leg was gone. my son was on fire and he had open wounds on both of his legs there were dead bodies and burned people everywhere these images still haunt me it was like hell had opened up with all you know if you had combat your when we left the hospital there were many covered dead bodies outside and one body was uncovered. my sister closed her eyes and she didn't see it but i saw that body and i wish i hadn't looked because i cannot forget it. close looks good i detailed well. if it was not does that hurt. yes hear a little bit of margie don't needs to go to the clinic every couple of months the

checkup is uncomfortable for her. but the scar on her leg doesn't bother her any more and that's very important. margi to his more fun exercising she has made such progress that her prosthetic leg is hardly noticeable only climbing stairs still proves difficult. for her physiotherapist it's important that she keeps her head up she shouldn't think of her leg at all. to what we want our patients to feel comfortable with the percy says so they can do everything in their daily lives without limitations. that include walking on different types of floors and services such as sand and gravel as well as steep slopes and stands we train all of that. stuff the mantra is brave and she has a strong will. so that's why she learned so quickly.

and made such great progress. there was a quadratic the reason i'm happy that i have this leg now. at first i wanted to even leave it on at night but my mom wouldn't let me do that. bit of a global flood. after she zio there is a little time left for my favorite game jump rope. with. her sarah pissed can barely catch his breath. and turn around. for dinner fathers there as well she doesn't see him very often he's working a lot trying to put food on the table. then it's time for the children to go to bed puts her prosthetic leg away for the night and ebro him crawls into her bed he

german tax revenue will grow from its current level of six hundred seventy five billion euros up to nine hundred billion euros by the year twenty twenty two you know that substantially more than what officials in berlin estimated last november so jemmy's bulging coffers a certainly impressive but they could also fuel for the debate on the distribution of government funding germany's e.u. partners unlikely to criticise german for galaxy once again in the international monetary fund has made it clear on many occasions that it wants germany to spend more on things like infrastructure child care refugee integration as well as introducing some income tax cuts well earlier we spoke to economist and ask him whether the lid could afford to spend even more. so they say they will increase a lot but if you really look at the numbers not really so much what we've seen recently with a new budget coming out from the new finance minister we see even

a slight decrease in infrastructure investment and infrastructure investment is really one of the most important things that we need at the moment our public infrastructure is falling apart and has been doing so for the last fifteen years and we even see a decrease in infrastructure spending and this is very some we basically do is that we have high so pluses take surpluses but we don't use the money effect of to do something for was crumbling infrastructure. well jimmy's come out spike held it annual meeting earlier in this oh all of the bank said that the lender had had a solid start this year the bank posting net earnings of one hundred fifty six billion euros in the first quarter the cost of laying off thousands of workers is way on profits coming out at seventy three hundred jobs by twenty twenty as it tries to improve its awesome line comments bank plans to stop paying a dividend again this year despite being endings in a bid to boost its share price. well our financial correspondent daniel has been

the u.s. might be pulling out of the international nuclear agreement with iran has been really overshadowing today's trading day a lot all right and we've also got a new head of the supervisory board coming into coming out spank him we see what do we know about him. well he has been with the lender also already for some time he joined in two thousand and eight until two thousand and fifteen worked as the head of the risk a management one of his tasks is going to be together with the c.e.o. finding a possible bank interested in taking over or merchant with many of bangs for example like. unit credit they already said in the past that they would like to merge with the lender but so far no deal has worked out. ayed frank thank you. now if you love a tale of the underdog phil's got a great one for yes i do have it thank you so much they were calling it one of the
