the germans started maker teams on g.w. . this is the only news lie from curling the world awaits donald trump's decision on the iran nuclear deal never and never in my life advice to any transaction so incompetently 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 june and the next hour or so also on the program. from process leader to prime minister nicole pashmina led the demonstrations that forced the resignation of amin his former prime minister two weeks ago now crowds are celebrating as part of the to elect special new to the top job. i'm from guy welcome to the program. in the next hour or so u.s. president donald trump is due to reveal whether he's going to withdraw the united states from the iran nuclear deal mr trump passed repeatedly criticized the agreement and accuses the islamic republic of violating its terms known formally as the george comprehensive plan of action it is meant to curb terence nuclear weapons program president trump is required to reconfirm u.s.

support every one hundred twenty days despite pressure from the deal seven other coast signatories it looks as though this time it will withdraw that support insisting that the deal must be altered to keep the u.s. on board. slamming the nuclear deal with iran has been one of donald trump's fiery asst mottos before and after taking office in iran 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. and the european union put their name to it now pressure is piling up on washington to see india 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 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 tough on iran but not throw away that 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 traumas complaints many feared the u.s. president has made up his mind. so what has the 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 reducing difficultly 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 the u.s. nuclear watchdog the i.a.e.a. says iran 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 carson phenomena in washington and betty riegert in brussels 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 signatories 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 yes which 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 trumpet leave 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 because of our love and we all know that this was a big trump pledge 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 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 have pointed out the americans will have much less leverage now even if they impose tougher sanctions on iran because this would be you need

a lateral sanctions and before that there were 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 that bend because in brussels thank you. let's turn now to some of the other stories making news around the world north korea's supreme leader kim jong un and china's president is usually pale have held a two day meeting in the northern chinese city of daraa the second such meeting in recent weeks president as he reportedly voiced support for a planned summit between mr kim and us president donald trump that summit expects to focus on north korea's nuclear program a program that russian lawmakers have overwhelmingly voted to approve and to me to medvedev for a further term as prime minister this after the country's newly reelected the president nominated his longtime ally for the job on monday mr medvedev previous to run from twenty up at the. bus has burst into flames in central rome leaving one
