a show of goodwill ahead of a planned summit between the u.s. and north korean leader. it's good to have you with us french president emanuel. says that u.s. president donald trump's decision to quit the iran nuclear deal is a mistake made the comments while in germany to receive the 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 said with g w news and the german public broadcaster. for an exclusive interview. i am very sorry about his decision i think it is a mistake and this is why we europeans have to side like we reiterated yesterday to

remain in the agreement from two thousand and fifteen and as i reminded president who won the we negotiated and signed this 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. and you can watch the full interview with the french president after the show and on line d.w. dot com well as the french president was saying european countries plan to continue with hearing to the iran's nuclear deal president trump is defending his decision but he's also adding that he is still open to negotiating a new deal he also is warning tehran not to restart its nuclear weapons program and the u.s. move has sparked anger and concern among iran's leaders and among 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 harsh 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 at all. and iran will come back say we don't want to negotiate and of course they're going to say that if i were their position i'd say that's true 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 vowed to fight to keep the deal alive i. know that he is that we know it 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 the room continues to restrict its nuclear program then its people will benefit from sanctions relief in accordance with the central bargain of the deal done for us all the deal isn't dead were you mr depew 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 gestures didn't impress the country's 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. i pressure is mounting on president hassan rouhani the deal he championed is on the line. and now he faces the tough task of convincing domestic odd london to stick to its. well known to the korean peninsula north korea has released three american prisoners in the build up to a historic summit with the united states they left the country accompanied by u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo 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 pyongyang university of science and technology all three were accused of anti-state activity as u.s. president donald trump has described the news is very exciting. or at least

a good story now the washington were clear richardson is standing by for us this evening hard player 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's about it 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 a date and 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 he has been there or rather as his secretary of state 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 in the case we just saw it's going to change its mind just by 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 the gauche ations with north korea without getting what he considers the most comprehensive deal that covers everything he's looking for. our clear which is that in washington claire thank you very much. here's a look at some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world
