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 . 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 or 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. try to reach out to the tonight we've witnessed an important historical experience. what we've been saying and repeating for the past forty years has now happened once. iran is
11:04 am
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 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. let's get more on this story now what do you correspondent here in brussels and eric randolph in tehran good morning to both of you eric if we could start with you there are reports of iranian members of parliament burning an american flag in response to this news that sounds a lot like a return to the bad old days of us reign in relations what do you make of it over the writing officials like to do things like burning american flags and they love the death to america chart largely because they know how much it riles up the
11:05 am
americans in washington and. that's pretty standard fare. but there is a very sharp this division at the moment between everybody condemns trump's move but what the response should be whether they should about their quote entire they show results. or whether they should try to salvage what they can there's not a lot of europeans have despite european statements that they want to stay in the do it that they can resist washington pressure ok let's go to go now in brussels europe has been trying to hold this deal together couldn't convince the president not to bailout what's the plan now. from the e.u. has really gone into damage control mode here the french foreign minister this morning made clear again that the deal for him is not a debt and that the french president will talk to his counterpart rouhani today that on monday foreign ministers from france from germany from the u.k.
11:06 am
will meet with iranian representatives to find out how to move forward the objective at the moment really being that iranian radical forces are prevented from exploiting the situations and that the cause of diplomacy that this store remains open in iran. what about this development in terms of a dangerous escalation in this region is very volatile what are people saying to rant about that. in terms of the region there's not much discussion of that it's a slightly you subject iran at the moment is trying to tread. between wanting to show results. wanting to try to maintain the agreement as much as possible so it doesn't want to make any direct threats it doesn't want to play into the israeli hands by saying that it will attack israel will cause trouble in other parts of the
11:07 am
region. rather system on topic of them but certainly it has the potential. influence across the middle east to cause trouble for western interests and the americans and their israel's very concerned about that what about tehran reportedly building up its military forces on the border tilled israel in terms of its forces like the iranian guards. well that certainly is rose concern as the syrian conflict evolves. which has built up considerable influence on forces in syria because now those forces against iran has always maintained that whilst it does want to resist israel and it doesn't recognize israel's right to exist that it is not interested in a direct military attack that it simply wants to support the palestinians in whatever they're just thought that's been the line of they've stuck to you
11:08 am
throughout and i think we'll see them maintaining the position at least in the short term while they try to salvage what they kind of the new could do ok how would europe respond should iran as it has threatened start resuming work to become a nuclear power at the moment the position of brussels is as long as iran sticks to the deal so will the e.u. and there's no reason to believe from the european side with the european tom international atomic energy agency basically having certified ten times now that iran is in full compliance with its obligations that this is a scenario but but let's be clear the european position is even if they are nice even if there is or has been much misconduct the only way forward is to keep diplomatic channels open and not go down the road of isolation and further sanctions but to
11:09 am
keep diplomatic channels open and for that the iran deal is a key objective. because a lot of concerns out there this morning derek mountains in brussels and eric randolph in tehran thanks very much. well u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe has traveled to pyongyang ahead of an historic summit between president trump and north korean leader kim jong un. is set to finalize the plans for that meeting john yang is also at the top of the agenda in tokyo today where the chinese prime minister leacock shome is meeting his chinese japanese counterparts and south korea's leader again now this is the first time in nearly three years of these countries of met for talks and they want to come up with a common approach and head of that american north korean summit now in the run up to the docks japan's actions off they said his country is now ready to settle its decades old dispute with north korea that's the cause and effect upon the
