6:02 pm
in parliament iranian politicians wasted no time condemning the u.s. for violating a deal signed only three years ago. i. on the streets iranians read the news that their economy is once again to face us sanctions. 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. will be that. 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 and energy sectors all efforts by european allies to dissuade him had been in vain the european union's foreign policy chief federica mugger rini couldn't hide her
6:03 pm
regret as she urged unity. the european union will remain committed to continue at all and effective implementation of the nuclear. we fully trust the work the competence and your tanami of the international atomic energy agency that's published ten reports certify that you know 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. tonight we've witnessed an important historical experience. what 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
6:04 pm
a country that has never stuck to its commitments. without u.s. backing the e.u. russia and china must prove that the deal is still worthwhile for iran much will depend on the next few weeks as european leaders urge iran to remain optimistic. straight to iran's capital tehran where we find correspondent erica randolph welcome erick what does iran need to hear from the other signatories to convince say that this deal is worth sticking with. it's going to need some sort of guarantees that trade and investment that has come into the country is going to be protected in some way some sort of mechanism that can allow that to be shielded from from u.s. sanctions but frankly it's very hard to see how that could happen european trade in particular has already been squeezed down to a trickle in recent months just by the threats of sanctions from america when
6:05 pm
they're actually in place it's hard to see how businesses will take the risk of u.s. massive u.s. penalties just for the limited business they do in iraq. what we heard from iran's president in the report let's hear from the supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei. so you heard last night that the president of america made some silly and superficial comments so i think looted maybe more than ten lies. he spoke about withdrawing from the nuclear deal and threatened the people of iran and the regime saying i'll do this and then let you know that is mr trump i tell you on behalf of the iranian people you have made a mistake. mileti you don't. know everything randolph despite the rhetoric iran at this stage does still seem committed to talking yeah i absolutely
6:06 pm
think president rouhani in particular has staked so much of his political legacy on this and the idea of opening the country up to free market near the. foreign investment system he definitely wants to call something back from this to work with the europeans and the russians and chinese to try and salvage something. who actually the beginning despite mistrust for america didn't support the deal could even be the basis for further negotiations as long ago given up any hope. of arrogance could be could be something they could work with so if obviously the president trump wants iran to come back to the table for a new deal it looks on the face of it like this there's zero chance of that. yeah doesn't suddenly in the short time that that's that's almost impossible rowhani was over in a very difficult political position already he put so much effort into convincing
6:07 pm
the conservative faction during negotiations with the west and with america in particular was something worthwhile the conservatives who always told him should trust the americans feel very vindicated today and that's really that's really hit romney's chances of pushing that line and it will be a long time before they trust the americans again so how would new american sanctions affect to rein in daily life. well i'll give you an example i had a friend of mine crying this morning she runs a small factory that makes a mobility equipment for hospitals and to save people she'd managed to secure. an investor from sweden it's a small outfit a small business but an important one she's now has no idea what the future holds for her business until there are plenty of other stories like that
6:08 pm
a lot of iranians were talking to on the streets some worried about the consequences that they're saying they may need to leave iran we've already seen billions of dollars fleeing iran and the currency in a downward spiral in recent weeks so it doesn't look good on the economic front a lot of other iranians very defiant saying we don't care what trump does we've been through these problems before and we will resist every grand elf in teheran thank you. north korea has released three american prisoners in the build up to a historic summit with the united states the president left the country accompanied by u.s. secretary of state mike pompei on landed in japan a short time ago a short time later on their way home the trio included a missionary and two men who were arrested while teaching at the foreign funded colony on university of science and technology or three were accused of anti state activities u.s. president donald trump described the news as very exciting. let's get more from
6:09 pm
brussels correspondent to josh smith who joins us from south korean capital of seoul welcome just tell us more about these frayed americans. as you mentioned u.s. officials said that the men appeared to be in good health they were able to walk on t.v. aircraft and journalists who were accompanying the american delegation there said that they appeared to be in the company of medical personnel the family one of the men twenty welcomes his release and st officials who were involved in securing their release they've been two of them were detained last year another one has been detained since at least twenty fifteen so this has been a long time coming for them it's not pleasant charges in the cases as a date and venue has been set for the meeting between the two link this did both sides have preconditions and does this mean that those preconditions have been met . well the release of these prisoners was seen as something of
6:10 pm
a hurdle before this meeting so this certainly clears the way for this meeting now obviously the biggest potential sticking point is north korea's nuclear program which will be the main topic of discussion the united states has said that north korea must commit to giving up its nuclear weapons entirely young has said that it is willing to discuss the future of its nuclear arsenal. and one of america's tyrants bad faith in withdrawing from the iran nuclear deal has not cast any sort of a shadow over these talks to come it has certainly made some ripples in the region here south korean officials came out and said that they were going to work to minimize any impact from that american decision on these ongoing negotiations with north korea the trumpet ministration has cast this as potentially
6:11 pm
move that in fact strengthens its hand going into the talks with kim underlining america's position that it will accept nothing less than a complete. new killer deal however many other observers have criticized the decision saying that it sends the wrong message to north korea that the united states can't be trusted right and very important time in relations between the two countries toss smith and so thank you. dealing with pyongyang is also at the top of the agenda at a meeting of asian leaders in tokyo after years of discord japan china and south korea been working to find common ground these are the first three way talks since twenty fifteen. diplomacy making a comeback in the far east kitching emerged from his plane it was the first visit by a chinese prime minister to japan in eight years next south korean president one jay

6:13 pm
don't feel comfortable perhaps shinzo abyei explore the possibilities for a japanese north korean summit during the bilateral exchange with manji and as he may fear losing influence over current developments. well now the u.s. has walked away from the iran nuclear deal should german companies feel that sanctions that's of humphry can tell us indeed very much the question today fail concerns as well regarding the future of german companies if they. keep doing business with iran they say off the us president on a trump announced in one fell swoop that not only was he putting the us out of the iran nuclear deal but that he was have plans to reinstate sanctions on the country as well as those still party to the deal and working with iran so far germany france and the u.k. say they will remain committed to the agreement to protect their business interests in the region. iran is urging caution it hopes economic interests will keep other
