8:02 am
the accord a one sided deal iran's going to decision a diplomatic show and says it no longer has any obligations to honor the agreement . the world watched as donald trump scrapped a deal that took over a decade to achieve. service it is clear to me that we cannot prevent an iranian nuclear bomb on to the decaying and rotten structure of the current agreement. therefore i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal. signed a memorandum to reinstate harsh economic sanctions on iran most notably in the oil and energy sectors. all efforts by european allies to
8:03 am
dissuade him had been in vain the european union's foreign policy chief it did he come again he couldn't hide her regret as she urged for unity the european union will remain committed to the continued and effective implementation of the nuclear deal we fully trust the work the competence and the autonomy of the international atomic energy agency that has published reports certify that iran has fully complied with its commitments. even if europe remains many fear that trumps move will prompt a backlash by iran president hassan rouhani said his country might resume nuclear activities if a deal without the u.s. will not guarantee its interests. or. to not we've witnessed an important historical experience. kish freddy what we've
8:04 am
been saying and repeating for the pos forty years has now happened once more iran is a country that is low to its commitments and the united states is a country that has never stuck to its commitments to hold. us back in washington donald trump said he wants to work with the u.s. allies to find what he called a real solution to the iranian nuclear threat but his decision has left many of those allies facing uncertainty as they try to avoid an escalation that's hardly in anybody's interests. ok a lot of uncertainty out there this morning let's get more with our round up with did have you correspondent michelle to get in washington eric randolph in tehran and georg mathis in brussels good morning to all of you eric michelle let's start with you rather in washington what happens now will the u.s. sanctions be reintroduced a mediately. well john bolton donald trump's national security
8:05 am
advisor yesterday repeatedly said that the sanctions will be reimposed immediately practically that means that all new business contracts with iran would be blocked as of now for existing contracts with business dealings in iran there will be a so-called wind down period as the administration calls it between ninety ninety and one hundred days where businesses basically can wind down their existing contracts with iran and iran so that would give businesses a kind of a window to close down their businesses. so there's a time frame for them to do so but for all new businesses business contracts with iran that that window is already being closed ok now closing down that window for businesses means an end to billions in contract contracts erick let's go to you in tehran now how would the reimposing of sanctions affect the iranian economy.
8:06 am
well actually i don't we don't want to overstate how much could only benefit ron actually managed to pull out of this nuclear deal although there were great hopes at the beginning three years ago and president rouhani was about to how as much as fifty billion dollars a year in investment the reality is that america had already been putting huge amounts of pressure on him vestas in europe and elsewhere and actually only about two or three billion had shown up in the first year and since all of his aggressive rhetoric in recent months that foreign investment has reduced down to a trickle so really almost no new businesses boom was being done as a rule i was waiting to hear what trump was going to do so i think iran has already . had already got to a point where it was not expecting too much from the from the move could do it it's not clear whether that will make
8:07 am
a huge difference that said it was. the wrong managed to pull out of the deal was its increased oil sales and not something that they will definitely be hoping to preserve ok those oil sales are very important georg europe is trying or has been trying to hold this deal together but now it has a very clear choice to make europe can either follow the u.s. and reimpose sanctions on iran or join the iranians and ignore the white house what's europe going to do. that's a good question brian i'd say europe is still in a sort of damage control mode here still in shock over the fact that all the diplomatic efforts that have been made let's do nothing and very much concerned about iran so i think what we'll see now here is really containing the damage making sure that the radical forces in iran are not exploiting this scenario now that with the u.s. pulling out too much at least that is the hope on the on the part of the europeans
8:08 am
so they do want to preserve the steel by all means to what extent they will have to cite at one point really depends on the kind of sanctions we're now we will now see coming from the u.s. ok meanwhile world will see those european diplomatic efforts in the background the president though has been very upfront about the consequences of siding with iran let's take a listen to what he had to say about that any nation that helps or ran in its quest for nuclear weapons could also be strongly sanctioned by the united states america will not be held hostage to nuclear blackmail. is this being viewed in brussels as a veiled threat to europe. i say that's the only way you can fuit but the response from the europeans from my call merkel and from may where were equally clear they
8:09 am
said they want to ensure that the structures of the agreement can remain intact and so that the full implementation by all other parties is still possible and that to me is a clear indication that the europeans are quite determined no matter what to keep working together with iran if you're looking for a more clear answer from the from the u.s. you just have to look at the tweet of the news. u.s. ambassador to bulletin who basically advised german companies to immediately wind down business in iran with serious sanctions to come at the end of the day we'll have to see you know if if all this how did how the diplomacy will continue and how things really will pan out but for the moment there's a determination on the european side to stick to the deal and to stand by iran ok michelle back to you in washington when president obama crafted this deal and it
8:10 am
went through when he signed off on it that only had public support of about twenty one percent of the public where is public support right now for president trump on his decision to reimpose the sanctions. well interestingly according to a poll that was just released just before trump sanctions decisions there was a two thirds majority who said that they supported that actually the u.s. staying in the iran deal. after the decision was made of course many republicans and most from supporters hailed his decision to pull out of the the deal and they think that can get a better deal and forced to run into a better deal that that curbs its nuclear program more severely than the obama the old it but i guess the. the real decision how americans will feel about this deal. will take some time to sort through to to come to terms because it might depend on
8:11 am
the gas prices where the gas prices will will will rise in the u.s. and it might also depend on how the region and iran fares under this this new circumstance right now ok eric we just heard from washington there that the hope is in the united states in the united states that the trump move is going to force around more clearly to give up its nuclear ambitions but there is the real possibility is there not that iran could resume its nuclear activities and threaten to do that will it. well president rouhani is having to tread a very delicate line at the moment he needs to show the result he's in a very difficult position politically because the conservative opponents to the voice said he shouldn't trust the united states and they feel vindicated right now so he needs to look tough you can't take this lying down but at the same time he needs to keep the europeans and the russians and the chinese on the side of economy
8:12 am
seems to violate the deal so that's going to be a tricky balancing act he's said that he's instructed the iranian atomic energy organization says to prepare for resuming you raney an enrichment up to industrial levels it's a vague idea it's not clear what he means by that but he has said that will wait until after he's had discussions with the other parties europeans the russians the chinese before he takes a decision on that so he said i would be a very short period so we wrote how iran's official response hopefully in the next couple of weeks ok or grand off for us in tehran thanks for that michel to get in washington and give matheson brussels thanks all the this morning for europe but well israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is of course an outspoken opponent of the iran nuclear deal under obama and he's been one of the first world leaders
8:13 am
to come out in strong support of the announcement from washington is really fully supports president trump's bold decision today to reject the disastrous nuclear deal with the terrorist regime in tehran israel is opposed the nuclear deal from the start because we said that rather than blocking iran spent up to a bomb the deal actually paves iran's to an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs and this within a few years time. ok for more from jerusalem let's bring in tanya cramer our correspondent there tom and we heard netanyahu restating his commitment there to making sure iran never has nuclear weapons what's his roadmap for getting there is he happy to simply follow the american lead on this. well i mean this is of course seen here as a victory for netanyahu he has been lobbying for this and you could also say that's
8:14 am
actually the u.s. is pulling him at the leader of israel this netanyahu had given disparate dramatic presentation just a week ago where he presented what he called yvonne nuclear archives that certainly intelligence had to retreat from iran saying that iran had tonight about his nuclear weapons program and also that the whole deal was faced on the i is now he this was referenced also in the speech of mr trump last night now what the israelis once it's seen is that the hard very harsh sanctions are kicking in that would harm vons economy because if israel is very much concerned about the growing influence of iran in the region mainly when it comes to building up its. military capabilities in neighboring syria other than that we haven't really heard any plan or any kind of reference to any new mechanism that the israelis want to see put in
8:15 am
place here ok no talk of just shortly after trump's announcement there was a missile attack on syria which damascus is blaming on israel syrian state run media saying israel struck a military outpost south of the capital damascus at least nine pro-government fighters were reportedly killed syrian opposition forces say the rockets hit weapons storage sites and missile launchers believed to belong to iran's revolutionary guards tanya what do you tell us about these times. well there has been no confirmation from israel on that strike that the use of procedure here is gone never comments on mostly never comments on its activities in syria but you can say this has been a period of heightened tense. and shortly before that strike actually the israeli army had given its instructions to people in the occupied golan
8:16 am
heights that the public so to sit be open because they were seeing what they called unusual activities and syria for weeks now israel has been fearing that iran might retaliate for some of that alleged as strikes in syria in april so the tensions here are very high at the moment and this is all related to the concern of israel that yvon is building up its military capabilities in syria which could bring them very very close quarters ok with that in mind just how concerned is the israeli defense establishment and right now about and reining in the part reprisal attack. well there is very much concern we've been hearing that for the past days and that in the tuc might be imminent and that's why you see in this unusual step
8:17 am
of ordering that the public shelters in on the israeli controlled part of the golan heights would be should be opened so what we're seeing is a constant you know a build up of tensions on the north and borders so far tony kraemer with the latest for us from jerusalem tanya thanks very much. well one intention of reimposing the sanctions on iran is of course to damage that country's economy and that of course will have a knock on effect on all of iran's business partners. in first and foremost germany of course as you mentioned the u.s. deciding to be impose sanctions on iran of course will damage the iranian economy but what's often ignored all the consequences for other countries because in his address last night to donald trump not only announce that he will impose the highest level of u.s. sanctions on iran but also on any country that helps it with what he calls tehran's ambition to produce nuclear weapons and that stance could have huge repercussions
8:18 am
on germany's business interests in the region from the german state of saxony to iran that's me child pronto stream his company photo in my snow technologies produces components for railway tracks and trains nine months ago a delegation from iran came to visit to see if they could feasibly do business. for the iran is a country with a lot of prospects for the railway industry similar to turkey or russia because in the near future they'll need new infrastructure networks including railways. that's why we're very focused on breaking into the iranian market because yes. the nuclear treaty in two thousand and fifteen opened doors german business began work straight away to reestablish old contacts with one delegation after another
8:19 am
traveling to tear. in two thousand and sixteen the economy minister at the time gap will travel to tamp on with around a hundred german captains of industry since sanctions were lifted german companies revenue in iran has climbed by forty five percent. but now the new u.s. ambassador to berlin richard grinnell is urging german companies to pull out of iran at the same time germany france and britain said in a joint declaration they feel mutually obliged to stick to the terms of the nuclear treaty experts predict tough times ahead. the european union appears to be in a very difficult position. there was no tone of compromise in the president's arguments for exiting the treaty he also said the sanctions would once again be fully implemented that could mean that it will be impossible for european companies to
8:20 am
deal with iran without running the risk of attracting u.s. sanctions. so for now companies looking to iran face new uncertainty. and for more reactions from the world of business and finance i'm joined now by daniel cooper standing by for us in frankfurt at the stock exchange daniel iran of course is also a major oil producing country how is the u.s. exit ing from the nuclear deal affecting the oil price this morning. monica well the business world was already prepared for this scenario and we already have seen quite some volatility on the oil market in the past weeks but this morning the oil price made another job to the highest so far of this year one barrel of brand is at a level of almost seventy seven dollars that's about one dollar ninety higher than yesterday saudi arabia has already announced that because of the latest developments they consider to increase their oil production we have to remember
8:21 am
that iran is a very big oil producing country and there is the fear that prices could go with new sanctions even more op and that's not just going to affect the business world but also like everybody like you and me when we pay our bill at the gas station not only of course the donald trump also threatened other countries with sanctions not just iran directly others who supported tehran as he put it now how is the business community reacting to this. yes we are getting statements already and we have to remember that many european companies saw actually a very big potential in iran after the sanctions were lifted big business associations are frustrated this morning forecast high out of the german trade and industrial chambers stated that this is a really bad day for the german iranian business perspective he also said that all of this is unsettling lots of german companies and that all of this has nothing to
8:22 am
do with the relationship between the u.s. and europe the association of mechanical engineering and construction stated that kiran now needs to decide if they really want to stay in the nuclear deal and if yes they will support german companies to continue doing business with iran so the move this morning many are frustrated many not sure what is most likely going to happen and danielle just briefly i mean will we see german companies pulling out of iran will they listen to washington well when they listen to the german ambassador who treated earlier that he once the business has to go out yes but many companies there is a big problem right now they are heavily invested inside of the country or signed a four hundred million u.s. dollars deal volkswagen sees big business inside of the country arab us even had a deal of selling more than one hundred planes to iran but they also have very important business an even bigger business with the united states and they might
8:23 am
have to reconsider because they of course they don't want to risk their u.s. business relationship of course not as well all right so clearly conflicts there of interests coming up danielle corp in frankfurt thank you so much. well comicality has stopped selling its popular a six and a seven model soft it discovers what it called irregularities in sixty thousand diesel costs the company has told german regulators the suspects the models may have been manipulated to bypass environmental regulations adding to the list of german cars containing the illegal software this could put the pressure on al g.'s parent company fox fucking which has already paid out to billions in damages in connection with the so-called diesel scandal. and i'll have more business for use in the next hour and brian i think soon we'll have some

nations at odds over one homeland featured in our program. when running into arafat's agreed on peace but an assassin put an end to that dream. returning to the history of the displaced people still fighting for their homeland israel seventeen years may twelfth on t.w. of all broadcast times online. called the germans team together in one nation from shanda munyon to chancellor o'toole from bismarck. the history of the germans has been shaped by great rulers. i swear always to bring my royal politics to protect christendom and suppress divine truth. alito i get to play the enemy in time. and steered by courageous decisions code your master
8:30 am
we have received around the world is from god. we must all be peace. the germans started may thirteenth kong t w. both back you know if you news live from berlin our top story this hour president from the united states out of the iran nuclear core he's also signed a presidential memorandum reinstating sanctions against iraq bringing lawmakers are calling from smooth a diplomatic show. from germany was one of the players in the negotiations that resulted in the iran nuclear deal and over the past few months berlin joined with other european signatories in a last ditch effort to persuade president trump not to scrap the agreement they say
8:31 am
they'll fall the deal has largely kept iran in check. back in two thousand and fifteen there was relief and price throughout germany at the successful negotiation of the iran nuclear deal. is that. we have concluded an agreement that will make the middle east and the world safer. form a german foreign minister frank. was one of the main architects of the deal. one day before trump's decision on the agreement current german foreign minister and his french counterpart explained why europeans want to save it. first. trade that a failure will escalate the situation and put us right back where we were before twenty thirteen. no one has an interest in that. german chancellor angela merkel and other leaders have tried to change trump's mind
8:32 am
she argues that the nuclear deal is crucial for the security of her own country and others around the world. i reiterate that the whole of the region has a right to. the us and maybe thousands of kilometers away from iran syria. syria and iran are countries that are right. in the host who. no one thinks the deal is perfect but european leaders argue that it's better than nothing if iran is to be prevented from developing nuclear weapons and cancelling the agreement would split the west down the middle. it's our job as europeans and as signatories to try everything we can to keep the deal together with the with the chinese and the russia's this is one of the side effects of what trump is doing pushing this to the arms of the chinese and the russians trumps decision will also
8:33 am
have economic implications for both iran and germany but they pale. in comparison with the fears that if the deal is script it could cause a nuclear arms race in the middle east. ok for more on this this cost to our political correspondent thomas sparrow now for the german angle on the story thomas there's a consensus in german politics that the iran nuclear deal was a very positive development ten years in the making what are some of the reactions in berlin to the u.s. point out this morning well brian it was not only seen as a big development it was seen as an example of what diplomacy can accomplished and that's that was the view here in germany all along so from that perspective it is clear that the decision by u.s. president donald trump was a bad decision according to german officials it was seen with concern as the press release from the german government announced but it was also important to stress that if you spoke to the politicians before the decision if you spoke to
8:34 am
them as well regarding on going to merkel's recent visit to the white house the expectations brian won not necessarily very high it is no longer a surprise for many when donald trump makes these decisions and that's also the reason why germany and other european countries announced that they would try to comply with the deal and they will try to move forward with it without the united states ok well moving forward without the united states is germany now going to move to assume the leadership of those efforts the diplomatic ones to stop iran from developing a nuclear weapon. well brian for many it was seen as a failure of european diplomacy the fact that they were not able to convince donald trump to stay with the iran nuclear deal despite the fact that members of the u.k. france germany german chancellor angela merkel french president michel and they all went to washington to try and convince donald trump and he however still made that
8:35 am
decision so many see it as a failure but another way of looking at that is that the european challenge is just become bigger that it is now when when the european leaders have to try and make sure that this iran deal is a success i very much doubt germany will take a leading role on its own and a symbol of that is the fact that the press release that was issued after donald trump as you know was not issued only by germany was a press statement by germany france and the united kingdom and you can also see that by the fact that there's already a meeting planned next monday where france germany and the united kingdom will meet representatives of iran so it will not be germany on its own leading the effort it will be more likely germany alongside some of its european partners doing that effort ok germany and european partners want to move forward with with the deal but how can brylin ensure the iran complies with this agreement without the united states doesn't have the influence doesn't have the leverage to do that it is a very difficult challenge we can clearly say that obviously if you look carefully
8:36 am
at what to european leaders have said there are certain mechanisms that are still in place those verification mechanisms european leaders want to keep that there's also the u.n. security council resolution which was described as the binding framework of everything regarding iran's nuclear program so those are elements that the european leaders want to to maintain but the big question here is how they will do the same regarding sanctions and whether european companies could be affected by those sanctions and how specifically european leaders will go on about that you may have seen. the new u.s. ambassador to germany on his first day in office sent out a tweet saying that german companies doing business in iran should start winding down their operations so it's precisely where one of the biggest challenges will be for for not only for germany but also for other european leaders thomas briefly if you could you look at that setback to german business and there's also been a lot of differences of opinion between the u.s.
8:37 am
and germany recently not only on the iran nuclear deal also on the paris climate accord trade tariffs are we seeing the end of the traditional german u.s. partnership i wouldn't describe it as the end i would describe it does a new type of relationship by relationship where where the u.s. and germany are not obvious allies they're not immediate allies where everything based on their relationship has to be negotiated and discussed i wouldn't call it an end but i would say it has a different nature altogether thomas sparrow for us thanks so much for that from our parliamentary bureau this morning thomas well the governments of china japan and south korea are meeting in tokyo for talks aimed at pushing north korea to abandon its nuclear and ballistic missile programs the chinese prime minister liege pairing and japan shinzo ave and south korea's president in also be discussing how to increase trade among their nations is the first time in nearly three years of the countries of met for talks there once annual summits were called
8:38 am
off due to a series of outstanding territorial and historical disputes. let's talk more about this now with the head of did have used china service a fillip billet good morning to evolve as we saw these these talks were were called all for a number of years three years they were postponed but this is a restart is it linked to this restart to the upcoming summit between a kim jong un and donald trump well i think it's fair to say that the summit is what everyone in the region is waiting for right now and most certainly these three countries south korea china and japan because that will be directly affected by the outcome of this summit and also i think it's important to see that especially japan was very much interested in this summit that is taking place today and that's ninety because the relationship between japan and its japan and its neighboring
8:39 am
countries was really pretty bad for the last couple of years and at the moment that's happening so much in the region all of this having a sudden everyone is talking south korea's talking to north korea north korea has started talking again to china and obviously the united states is going to talk to north korea and japan and was the only one not talking to anyone right now so they had really had to be concerned to be left aside and not being able to influence what is happening in the region and i think that's one of the major the most important reasons why this summit is taking place today ok it's important to underscore that there's a lot of movement a lot of new movement in the region right now still there are a lot of differences separating this these countries what are some of the main ones let's just say that a lot so if you look at the relationship between japan and china for instance you have. territorial disputes of this obviously. so that's nothing that has been in the news lately
8:40 am
a lot but that's something that hasn't been resolved at all if you look at the east china sea. islands as they're called in japan of the geology all you islands as the . called in china a group of island that is claimed by china and japan at the same time that's one aspect also you have the the way that pan has with its wartime history that's something that's the big issue for china and also a big issue for south korea actually. for instance if you look at the so-called so-called comfort women so the south korean or the korean women that were forced to provide sex to japanese soldiers to the second world war so the number of issues that haven't been is over and that's actually the main reason why these talks happening today are so significant for the region ok you have the historical ones you mentioned those differences the territorial ones those are difficult enough and now on top of that you have the push for
8:41 am
a nuclear free north korea peninsula and you have competing interests from japan china and south korea what do they want to see happen. so i think we're not going to see a major breakthrough today and i think the most important thing today is that these three countries have started talking again and we're most likely going to see a general announcement where they in which they say that they want to see a peaceful development of the region regarding the nuclear issue i think it's fair to say that that all of these countries are very much interested to see a successful meeting between kim and donald trump but that's nothing they really can influence that much so the nuclear issue really has to be resolved between the united states and north korea ok and this is going to days doing to focus on those territorial historical topics that are outstanding after decades thanks very much philip bilski head of w.'s china service for coming in this morning.
8:42 am
miles to syria now while the syria conflict is still very far from being resolved president bashar al assad is already making plans to rebuild cities flattened by airstrikes and street fighting but instead of a new start for resins that rebuilding could result in no means of homes being seized by the syrian state under a new law owners of destroyed properties will have just thirty days to appear in person and prove their ownership and all unclaimed property will be automatically turned over to the government now for many refugees returning home is of course not option a reporter to get to show that was some of them here in berlin. as a human rights lawyer and critic of bashar al assad and while boonie has been trying to bring syrian perpetrators of torture to justice now he's grappling with property rights law we meet him in berlin his new home since he fled syria four years ago. i've been his phone has been ringing nonstop since our start issued his
8:43 am
so-called secret number ten refugees all over europe have been seeking his advice many of them still own property in syria. they're really worried most syrians would like to return home someday when it's safe and people feel they can live in freedom but they don't know how they can declare ownership of their property and now they're afraid they'll lose their houses and their land through this decree. they're afraid of losing their right to return along. to. the new decreased part of the government's strategy to rebuild water on syria. when a local development plan is announced citizens are required to prove their property ownership within thirty days but most refugees from syria leg such documents and they're afraid of being arrested if they return. if they do nothing the syrian state will take over their homes. the german government here in berlin says the
8:44 am
decree is expropriation under dubious pretext and we must assume that wisit conditions in syria will be changed to benefit the regime and its supporters. and you know i would he owns an apartment in the west of damascus because he was threatened with arrest he left everything behind this photo is only souvenir of the place. you remember because the. twenty five. unlike most syrian. a few g.'s i've been he does have the right paperwork for traveling to syria it's far too dangerous now he could lose his flat because he's certain no one will oppose the decree this that these are renders crimes have been going on in syria for years and no one in the whole world was really interested sure why should the international community intervene now when it
8:45 am
