this is. from berlin tonight in an exclusive interview with french president emanuel says the u.s. decision to pull out of the iraqi nuclear deal is a mistake. that if i regret the decision by the american president this is why we europeans have reaffirmed to president rouhani that we will remain in the two thousand and fifteen agreement that we negotiated and signed that goal. also coming up anger and outrage in tehran iran's leaders are now questioning the nuclear deals

future despite assurances. that north korea releases three u.s. prisoners washington has been pressing for their release as a show of goodwill ahead of a planned summit between the u.s. and north korean leaders. it's good to have you with us french president says that u.s. president donald trump's decision to quit the iran's nuclear deal is a mistake and i made the comments while in germany to receive the prestigious charlemagne prize it's given every year to an individual who has made a special contribution to unity here in europe or earlier today the french president sat down with the w. news and with the german public broadcaster. for an exclusive interview.

you tried to to save the iranian. nuclear deal when you were in washington why did you fail. i think the most important thing is to maintain stability and peace and middle east i'm in washington and i have said this by the way i had understood that president trump wanted to. leave agreement from two thousand and fifteen and during our joint press conference i had suggested that we work on a broader framework and i am very sorry about his decision i think it is a mistake and this is why we europeans have decided like we reiterated yesterday to remain within the agreement from two thousand and fifteen as i reminded president of one a we negotiated and signed the agreement and it allows us to control the nuclear

defense activity in iran until two thousand and twenty five but this agreement needs to be completed. because all you are saying that the europeans are going to try to remain in in the agreement and adopt it but what does it really mean without the united states what is it right without them is their proposal that sufficient for iran. but this is going to be a topic in the coming weeks and months and it's the mandate that we gave off foreign ministers in the e.u. and in iran. because. what are you going to be able to propose while it's the agreement that we signed balls. is everything over not because one of the signatories draws out but the others are reaffirming that they are committed but i think in any event. it is a pity because we have. anticipated and now we can regret his decision but it's

important that we all remain obsessed by stability and peace in the region are you so often in that interview he joins us now from the german city of often where emanuel macron is due to receive the charlemagne prize tomorrow good evening to you max so we heard the french president there saying that leaving the iran nuclear deal that it was a mistake did he talk about what he thinks is going to happen next. he did in a way but it was unclear if he really is convinced it will work so one part of that you heard it brant is that he thinks the europeans should stay committed to the iran nuclear deal as we know what but at the same time the goshi ate a broader agreement with the red and probably also the united states beyond two thousand and twenty five that wouldn't only include nuclear disarmament of iran but also the use of ballistic missiles and the general role iran is playing in the

region we don't have any idea donald trump the u.s. president is on board with that and of course we all know to really give any punch to an agreement you do need the united states and what about the french president himself you know he's quick to say that the u.s. president has made a mistake but what about mr mack wrongs show of almost like a bromance relationship with the u.s. president just a couple of weeks ago all of that lobbying appears to have been in vain did he talk about his own shortcomings. well he did say that he had dissipated that this would happen he did not say that he made any kind of mistakes and i think it's safe to say that he really gave it his all if you look at those pictures from his visit to washington d.c. but at the same time there's a huge difference between what we see is going on between trump and mccraw all those hugs and kisses and sakes and all that and on the other hand what mcchrystal

said while he was in the united states which was extremely critical of almost any field a policy that donald trump has been involved in so he's a true european you could say when it comes to the topics but he's well he's an exception when it comes to how he treats donald trump especially if you compare how i'm going to back up the german chancellor treats donald trump all right our brussels bureau chief max often in the german city of often tonight max thank you very much and you can watch max's entire interview with president on our web site that's d w dot com as well as on twitter at the new well as the french president has said european countries plan to continue with hearing to the iran's nuclear deal u.s. president trump is defending his decision but he's adding that he is still open to negotiating a new deal he has also warned tehran not to restart its nuclear weapons program in response to america's withdrawal the u.s.

move has sparked anger and concern among iran's leaders and its people. outrage in tehran iranians took to the streets to voice their anger at u.s. president donald trump they blame him for pulling out of a deal made just three years ago. and they also condemned him for signing a memorandum which reinstates hosh economic sanctions on iran. but president trump is convinced that this will bring iran back to the negotiating table. so we're going to make either a really good deal for the world or we're not going to make a deal or all. red will come back so we don't want to negotiate and of course they're going to say that if i were their position i'd say that too for the first couple of months we're not going to negotiate but they'll negotiate. or something will happen. i on the other side of the atlantic european leaders responded to trump's decision with disappointment they down to fight to keep the deal alive i.

know that we know with regret but also with concern the u.s. withdrawal which of course is of great import for such an agreement. we will remain committed to this agreement and will do everything in our power to ensure that iran fulfills its commitments in future. britain has no intention of walking away instead we will cooperate with the other parties to ensure that while iran continues to restrict its nuclear program then its people will benefit from sanctions relief in accordance with the central bargain of the deal don't for us all the deal isn't. france was used to preserve a diplomatic and peaceful approach and this is why we are refusing to let ourselves be drawn down a path that would lead to war. yes yes but in iran those just just didn't

impress the country supreme leader hollow wolf now it's being said that we can continue the nuclear deal with these three european countries i don't trust these three countries. of the i pressure is mounting on president hassan rouhani the deal he championed fact is on the line. and now he faces the tough times of convincing domestic odd line is to stick to it. when north korea has released three american prisoners in the build up to an historic summit with the united states the prisoners left the country accompanied by u.s. secretary of state mike and landed in japan a short time later on their way home the trio includes a missionary and two men who were arrested while teaching at the foreign funded university of science and technology. all three word cues of street activities u.s.

president double drop has described blues as very exotic. or at least a good story now the washington were clear richardson is standing by worse this evening hard clear how has this news of these free detainees how was it been received in the you with us. this is not a really positive reception and look at for trump and his supporters any sign of warming relationships between the united states and north korea is going to be seen as a victory for trump he believes that it's been his a strong arm tactics his strong pressure tactics that have brought north korea to the table that is secure the release of these prisoners and if you look at where we were even a couple months ago it really is a remarkable turn how far things have come where of course talking about the possibility of a potentially historic summit between trump and camp that could take place within the next month just a few months ago he was calling calling kim rocket man on twitter and threatening

him with fire and fury so that said i should mention that the release of american prisoners from north korea is not in itself that's something new we've seen under past administrations we've seen that north korea typically releases prisoners american prisoners after a high ranking officials from the united states go in person to try and secure their release and we has indicated that the venue have been set for the meeting between the two leaders what more do we know about that. that's right he said he's going to release details within the next three days they he has been or rather as his secretary of state might pompei a has been hashing out the details of what this summit could look like including things like the date and the time he said it will not take place in the demilitarized zone that they were looking at other options at one point including singapore although we're not quite sure if that's where it's going to be taking place we do know that it's going to happen as soon as the end of this month or in

the beginning of june and what about the possibility of america's withdrawal from the european nuclear deal having. adverse effect on these talks with north korea. right well north korea will have been watching when president trump announced that he was withdrawing the united states from the iran nuclear deal that it signed in two thousand and fifteen along with several other nations to see whether the united states can be a trusted negotiating partner whether it's acting in good faith when it signs international agreements or whether as in the case we just saw it's going to change its mind despite other parties holding up their end of the deal a few years later so that could be that could send the wrong signal that the united states is not a good faith actor or from trump's point of view it could send a really strong message that he's unwilling to walk away from negotiations with north korea without getting what he considers the most comprehensive deal that covers everything he's looking for

a word clear which is said in washington clear thank you very much. oh victory day celebrations have taken place across russia commemorating the defeat of nazi germany in war two the highlight was a huge military parade in red square as in previous years it drew a massive crowd. in the month of may a sacred day for russians the country commemorates its defeat of nazi germany in world war two known here as the great patriotic war. every year the crowds gather at red square for a choreographed spectacle showcasing moscow's latest military equipment. and important show of force at a time when relations with the west are at their lowest since the cold war. despite the display president vladimir putin warned against repeating history.

but i see a great the good russia is open to dialogue on all issues of global security ready for a constructive equal partnership for the sake of agreement and progress on the planet but i'm going to stand up when it congratulation i see you happy victory day. by day. or that. the the. at the heart of the celebrations the history of events which turned the tide in favor of the allies in nine hundred forty three. the red army crushed hitler's advance on stalingrad a turning point which led to the surrender of german forces. not far from home but the soviet victory came at a high price millions of russians perished not only from combat but also starvation and cold at

a reception putin paid tribute to the soldiers who fought for the country. sure but if you can see so i want to address the veterans in this hall of the veterans and all of our countrymen and you feel them all veterans of the great patriotic war wherever they may be live music you some like me i met with many of them in various countries they are all heroes to where we all got our heads before their acts of bravery with. israel's prime minister and serbia's president were also present believe has attended a solemn ceremony together at the eternal flame just outside the kremlin. are going back now into that iran nuclear deal now that the u.s. has taken a hit and exits what is that going to mean for european companies that still do business in iran this is the big questions and concerns of mounting today because of course a twenty fifteen brand as you know you will remember when those sanctions were lifted and investment flooded in now what will the situation be that some of the

questions that european companies are asking if they keep doing business with iran this of course off the u.s. president donald trump announced in one fell swoop that not only was he putting the u.s. out of the iran nuclear deal but was that he plans to reinstate sanctions only country as well as potentially those party to the deal and working with iran now so far germany france and the u.k. say they will remain committed to the agreement and protect their business interests in the region. the u.s. u. turn affects large e.u. corporations in particular siemens for one book text revenues of one hundred thirty million euros last year after contracts with around surge soon after sanctions have been lifted now siemens will only say that existing projects will be completed quote as far as legally possible. terms decision is a direct hit on european plane maker airbus a contract for one hundred airliners for iran now hangs in the balance. german

finance minister olaf scholtz promises to do everything possible to protect european commercial interests but i'm struggling with that we cannot predict at this point what we can do as the european union has come out like you know news show you that we are in continuing talks and that i personally will have a couple of telephone conversations with the u.s. colleagues today in order to progress on that is you do it with. fox wagner had also been banking on business with iran europe's largest car maker began exporting cars there in twenty seventeen and a lot of german engineering companies also resumed business with the country as sanctions were lifted and the nuclear deal came into force. there were dreams. and the reality words definitely of lean not according to this reams so now we have to see a realistic approach doing business with iran we will continue doing business with iran we will stay with our treaties to the iranian companies and every company must

decide on their own how they want to continue and how they will do it in twenty seventeen german exports to iran rose sharply albeit from a low level they were sixteen percent up to three billion euros. well our financial correspondent yes a quarter is at the new york stock exchange for us a day off from pulled out of the us out of the iran nuclear deal and there's been concerns aplenty but anyway this. well i mean theoretically we might see that the energy of the oil industry might profit to two years ago when the sanctions were loosened actually iran fired up their oil production by about one million barrels a day and some of this production is now in jeopardy and we did see oil prices again in a good summary percent here in the way in say session we surpassed the seventy one dollar mark per barrel meaning the texas intermediate oil price that gets traded

here and we saw accordingly that oil stocks actually were among the biggest winners here on wall street and what does that mean then for the u.s. economy. well it's not just that oil prices are rising bust other commodity prices as well and that actually or could eventually lead to more inflation more inflation might mean that the federal reserve has through increased interest rates even more and all of that has. worked out a lot for the u.s. economy if we think about high commodity prices that is a problem for u.s. businesses for industrial companies for airlines who have to pay more for their fuel but also consumers have to pay more when they fill up their tanks so there could be some negative implications with prices on the rise and then also what we did see is the possibility of higher interest rates was

a drag on all the real estate companies here in the u.s. and in other news in the end you've got well disney putting out some fairy tale numbers a fairy tale reaction on the markets. well not quite but that's probably because a deal in build multi-billion dollar deal that walt disney was banking on buying fox entertainment is in jeopardy because their results another company come cause trying to buy fox but overall the numbers were much better than x. expected and mostly because of the movie business disney made two great moves in the past when they bought the rights for all the superheroes from marvel in two thousand and nine for just four billion dollars and then three years later in two thousand and twelve they bought a look as film to get the rights for the star wars franchise and both really turned out to be big money makers in the past water black panther for example that will be

brought in more than one billion dollars so the numbers were good but because this one delist in jeopardy the stock of disney lost about two percent. on wall street for us thank you very much. the argentine peso continues its for sparking fears of a new main economic crisis president larry craig has asked the international monetary fund fund for help to prevent a further drop and he's looking to dodge a serious crisis remembering two thousand and one when the country defaulted on its debt. the argentine peso has been in freefall it has lost eight percent against the u.s. dollar since last week and seventeen percent since the start of the year. president machree announced plans to put the brakes on. the i decided to enter discussions with the international monetary fund to secure a credit line. i said just minutes ago i spoke with the director and she confirmed
