1:02 pm
that tehran is no longer bound by the terms of the group that was outrage in tehran and parliament iranian politicians wasted no time condemning the u.s. for violating a deal signed only three years ago. the. on the streets iranians read the news that their economy is once again to face u.s. sanctions. amount of money a shot on the economy this means more pressure will be exerted on the people of iran and the country will go back to the days of resorting to smuggling goods into the country and bypassing sanctions. legal money and it will be will be us and short of it as an iranian citizen i expect our president to withdraw from the nuclear deal just like the american president who pulled out of it. on tuesday u.s. president donald trump signed a memorandum to reinstate harsh economic sanctions on iran most notably in the oil
1:03 pm
and energy sectors. all efforts by european allies to dissuade him had been in vain the european union's foreign policy chief federica moe greeny couldn't hide her regret as she urged unity. the european union will remain committed to the continued full and effective implementation of the nuclear deal. we fully trust the war the competence and the autonomy of the international atomic energy agency that has published ten reports certify that iran has fully complied with its commitments . even if europe remains firm many fear that trump's move will prompt a backlash in iran president hassan rouhani said his country might resume nuclear activities if a deal without the u.s. will not guarantee its interests. try to reach out tonight we've witnessed an important historical experience cish thirty how what
1:04 pm
we've been saying and repeating for the past 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 without us backing the e.u. russia and china must prove that the deal is still worth while for iran much will depend on the next few weeks as european leaders urging iran to remain optimistic. and germany was one of the european countries that hammered out the iran nuclear deal and is now pushing to keep it alive foreign minister said that germany and other european signatories will honor the agreement and he urged tehran to stick to its commitments while european negotiators put together a joint response of listen. our goal is clear we will continue to abide by the agreement it's in our own security interests. so we will work to ensure the
1:05 pm
agreement has a future. and it's it's the successful result of many years of diplomatic negotiations. and above all it works. it's a problem from time yet. and for more let's bring in dave that he is very on riverview devolved who has been following the story for us so some strong words there from the german foreign minister i mean it seems pretty clear that germany is not going to fall in line here as trump would like them to are you surprised that there has been this reaction no absolutely not. it was more or less clear during the last weeks that germany and the other european countries were very much opposed to the idea of don't try to leave these disagreements to reimpose the sanctions and they tried quite a lot to convince them who are trying to not to to not to do so they were burned and successful in this poem and that is what also not very and surprising that the first statement that came out it came out like but half an hour off to trump made.
1:06 pm
last night on this also shows that europe wants full stands united in this issue meantime we have a new u.s. ambassador to germany who has been installed just this week and i just want to show for our viewers what he tweeted shortly after the announcement he wrote the following as donald trump said u.s. sanctions will target critical sectors of iran's economy german companies doing business in iran should wind down operations immediately. rupert that sounds like a threat how is it being received just like this i talked to several in piece today and they said that this is even worse than they expected and they say that is the most unfriendly start of the best so they have seen in recent posts and if you look at what he says he doesn't say all german companies have to follow at some time he says immediately drop out of iran immediately and this is something where we have
1:07 pm
to look at what is at stake here german companies make trade with our money with four billion dollars here and this is an issue to the german companies and this of course is also an issue for for german policy just briefly how difficult can the united states make to business for those drama company but very difficult was the sanctions in the end say that if you do business with iran you can't do business with u.s. companies or you even expelled from the u.s. so this means that international companies from germany come to business with iran without losing the rest of the business that's the definition of a rock and a hard place there for those german companies i just want to briefly also play more of what the german foreign minister. had to say a bit earlier he explicitly mentioned germany cop german companies as well here's his survival. oh what's needed over the next few days is a cool headed approach to discuss the next steps in doing so we will also have to analyze what are the knock on effects for european companies of the u.s.
1:08 pm
decision to exit the agreement. and how we in europe can react to that and a unified manner. you might. report in your assessment how is this going to shake out i mean will you're at the eventually need to give and because the business interests are just so far in favor of the u.s. side it's a very complicated situation for europe but then on the other hand it's also a chance in the end europe can his show that it is capable of acting together acting united and that's what we're seeing right now we have seen a joint statement just after dawn the time to announced that he wants to leave the aryan deal we see that europe is trying to make some sort of a united approach is trying to put something together not only with fronts england and germany but also with russia with china on what one m.p. today said we have to find a way to will walk to work around the white house and the idea is to in the end
1:09 pm
work around the white house and find a solution for will quite similar to solutions found on the climate accord from from paris only. took the u.s. out of the climate agreement on what happened was that all the other countries tried to work with united states it's like the united states states or companies but work around the white house and find agreements with other players here and this is what's going to happen right now the you are going to try to find other players and to keep iran within this egremont that's the most and most important goal of germany france and great britain to keep iran in this experiment and to find a solution without the united states but this course is very very complicated absolutely and as we see here the transatlantic relationship just as here in rating further as it has of the past and we should be devolved at the very latest thank you and a lot of thing. let's get
1:10 pm
a quick check now some other stories that have been making news around the world. several large explosions have hit the afghan capital in kabul like the one that you just saw there the country's interior ministry says that at least two police were killed and several people injured when suicide bombers targeted a police station at a security checkpoint the so-called islamic state has claimed responsibility. and two new bands have emerged from the volcano on hawaii's big island that have the has been erupting for nearly a week they have been spewing lava and ash police say that all the remaining residents living nearby have now been evacuated from their homes the volcano has destroyed dozens of properties in the area since it's a russian began last thursday. to moscow now where victory day celebrations are taking place to commemorate the defeat of nazi germany in world war two the highlight was a colorful parade in red square in moscow which as in previous years drew massive
1:11 pm
crowds the parade was also a chance for moscow to show off its military might with tanks and flyovers displaying the country's latest hardware israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu and serbians president were in moscow to attend the festivities netanyahu is scheduled to hold talks with president vladimir putin today. and correspondent emily share when is standing by in moscow and emily you were at the parade actually earlier why does victory day remain such an important day for russians. well victory day is absolutely an important day for russia and for russians and you can see that by the annual the huge annual parade that takes place here in moscow there are also smaller phrase across the country and in fact you might even say that that the day is the most important holiday for russians and for russia after
1:12 pm
all surveys show that the main source of pride for people in russia is the soviet victory over nazi germany in the second world war in many ways that it lays the foundations for national identity in post soviet russia and here in russia that war is known as the great patriotic war and what people here are commemorating with this parade this huge parade is not only the victory that took place during the second world war but also the suffering of many after all i'm nearly thirty million soldiers and civilians soviet civilians were killed during the war and this is really not just a government holiday it's also a people's holiday now people huge cloud crowds gathered to see the parade and to see the military equipment leaving red square as well they were lining the road people were carrying flags wearing uniforms as well and people really have come out
1:13 pm
today to celebrate the victory and to commemorate the many victims that also fell during during the war as well and i mean we're looking at pictures there it is really a very intense display there of military might give us a sense of how important that display is especially given the times relations between russia and the us. well this isn't just a national holiday it's also a nationalistic holiday and you might say and it's certainly also an opportunity for russia to show off its military might to the world now in today's parade we saw it twice. a thousand five hundred servicemen and women parading through red square we saw hundred twenty pieces of military equipment over seventy planes and helicopters flying over red square and it's also an opportunity for russia to show off its newest military equipment as well including new fighter jets we saw today
1:14 pm
also a ballistic missile or sonic missile called key which the defense ministry has referred to as invincible now you have to remember russia is the second biggest arms seller in the world it sells around twenty percent of the arms sold around the world in total so this is not only an opportunity for russia to show off its military might but also to show off its whereas as it were to potential buyers and really just briefly before we go we heard israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu at the parade today has talked with president putin plans in light of the u.s. pulling out of the iran deal does this meeting now take on a new significance are they going to address the topic. well the topic was on the agenda anyway they were going to discuss the iran nuclear deal anyway and also syria but of course in light of the u.s. pulling out of the deal this is taking on a much bigger significance and since russia is a close ally of iran's in syria they've been fighting on the same side in the war
1:15 pm
it's likely that israel will be will be looking to these talks and placing great significance on them. emily short one in moscow thank you. and after a short break monica johns has the business view of the iran and nuclear deal in the meantime thank you so much for watching i'm sorry kelly as you say. look blessing. and a curse. are supposed nature and in this scandal. monsoons the tropical jungle first should much sooner. or later the the sooner.
