this is deja vu news live from berlin and events that are in israel that could send shock waves throughout the middle east the u.s. is poised to open its embassy in jerusalem but the president trumps most trusted aides on hand most foreign governments are boycotting this event we'll go live to the contest in city also on the show election set in iraq early returns and

parliamentary polling shows nationalist shiite cleric moscato sagar is a strong contender to become the country's next prime minister. after putting a normal life within reach for amputees a robotic hand that its maker says is closer than ever to the real thing. and formula one racing britain lewis hamilton has found his groove once again will tell you why he was leaping from his car and into the arms of his teen in barcelona. are brian thomas a very warm welcome to the show well it is a highly controversial move on a politically loaded date the u.s. moving its embassy in israel to jerusalem today on the seventieth anniversary of the founding of the jewish state last night israel. prime minister benjamin

netanyahu welcomed president trump's daughter of banca her husband jared kushner and other american officials for a special dinner but on voice from more than half of those countries that were actually invited did not show up european union mission to israel for example tweeted that it respected the international consensus on jerusalem while the president's decision to move the embassy to the contested city is deeply controversial palestinians of course also claim jerusalem as their own capital and then yahoo however was full of praise for the president's move i call on all countries to join the u.s. and moving their embassies to jerusalem. move your own pursuits to drusilla because it's the right thing to do. and move your embassies to jerusalem listen to this move your embassies to do them because

in advance is. joining us now from jerusalem is our correspondent tanya kramer tanya good morning to you we just heard the bedouin netanyahu they're calling on other countries to follow the u.s. and bring their embassies to jerusalem well they are. well i mean this is certainly what the israeli government is hoping for so far we understand that two countries that are moving to embassies that square tamala will meet move the embassy as early as this week and also cry who follows the lead off to you and but as you said at the reception of the israeli foreign ministry on sunday night seen that most of the international community the countries that by invited to this reception have actually not send their diplomatic representatives and saying with it that the international consensus is still. negotiations should decide over the

status of a truce them negotiations between palestinians and israelis that's also the lead of the e.u. however have you seen four countries among them all straight and hungry who took part in the reception but they also made clear that that doesn't mean that they're going to move the embassy to jerusalem any time soon tony what about the political dimensions of all of this what does this move mean now for the two state solution the goes haitians under way in the background and the palestinians and their own dream of their own state. well i think a truce and for many palestinian that's a highly emotional issue and you have to understand that actually most of the palestinians can't even visit to most of those living in the occupied west bank in the gaza strip they need a permit to come to jerusalem now i talked to a lot of people here in the lead up to this u.s. embassy moves and palestinians are saying this is

a done deal become too much more about the u.s. has decided to move the embassy saying it shows the truth tastes of the u.s. and neverwhere interested in palestinian bites and they don't want to see a palestinian. what the palestinians want to say as their future capital of their future independent state so it also comes at a highly sensitive time and many public seems don't understand why do they have to do the move on the day that historically israel is celebrating the foundation of its state seventy years ago and the palestinians are traditionally every year mourning the loss of their land in one hundred forty eight what is there referring to as the nakba day so you see every year you have a lot of protests and demonstrations are not but day which is usually on the fifteenth of may tomorrow and some of these protests have been moved to today's we hope you see a lot of gassings protests in is true so many occupied west bank but the main demonstrations we're looking at will be in gaza have you seen six to seven weeks of

demonstrations every friday and who really you know people have called for large demonstrations at the border fence tony kraemer thanks so much for that for now from jerusalem tania what much more from tony throughout the day we will be live at that opening here on you later today. now to some of the other stories making the news this hour four suicide attackers are dead and ten people wounded after a bombing at police headquarters in indonesia's second largest cities. this comes one day after a bomb blasts at three churches in the city killed at least thirteen people police say the earlier attacks were carried out by a family who had just returned from syria. french authorities say the attacker who stabbed to death one person and wounded four others on saturday in paris was on a counter terrorism watch list it was shot dead by police during that attack investigators say he was a french citizen born in the russian region of chechnya so-called islamic state has

claimed responsibility filmstar some high acas call for male actor to take a pay cut as a way to reduce the gender pay gap she made the comments during an interview to counter film festival the day after dozens of female movie makers staged a protest out on the red carpet calling for equal pay and opportunities. it's to iraq now and with more votes now counted in iraq's parliamentary elections the national shia cleric total solder could be set to make a surprise political comeback supporters cheering the news in baghdad where the cleric and his communist allies took the highest number of votes all solder has a strong base of support especially among younger and poorer voters but has been sidelined in the past by other shia figures backed by iran. the current prime minister hyder all of body is lagging behind he's in third place

right now the election is the very first one since the government declared victory over so-called islamic state. that was last year. well european companies are scrambling to understand what the renewal of u.s. sanctions on iran could mean for business around is given the european union sixty days to guarantee the continued implementation of the nuclear deal after the u.s. decision to leave it now this issue will likely be a focus of discussions between iranian and european foreign ministers in brussels tomorrow european commission president john claude junker has suggested using the european investment bank as a way around u.s. sanctions legally though european business is not bound by u.s. foreign policy but ignoring sanctions could affect their business interests in the

united states. for iran's foreign minister mohammed javits a reef this week could become the most important of his career his mission to salvage the twenty fifty nuclear deal and he'll be counting on the support of the five other countries involved. for me it is very important to enter into dialogue with the nations that still remain in the iran nuclear deal china is the fresh top. iran's president has rouhani joined him in his efforts into iran he vowed that his country would honor to deal. with. the if the five remaining countries in the deal join us and for felder commitment and guarantee the iranian side that benefits of the islamic republic from the deal will be preserved and this agreement will remain in place.

short. list stakes are high for iran particularly for the nation's oil industry which would be crippled by fresh u.s. sanctions with that in mind germany's confident of iran's commitment to. view not only germany has an interest in maintaining this nuclear deal but also iran iran needs an economic perspective and the white house focus has since turned to the upcoming summit with north korea although rebuilding a new deal could still be on the cards to work president trump and president have both said we want to get a deal that's right a bigger deal we will be hard that that in the weeks ahead i hope to be a central part of achieving that it would be a wonderful thing if we could get the europeans to do this but that wouldn't be such a wonderful thing for a czar if he wants to stick with the original next stop on his support campaign russia. or with the iranian foreign minister scheduled for those talks in russia

today let's bring in did abuse emily share when she joins us from moscow emily what is around looking for in moscow today. well iran is looking for assurances from russia russia has certainly made it clear that they also want to salvage the deal they released a statement just after the u.s. pulled out saying that they want to cooperate with the other signal signatories of the deal and it's of course not new for iran and moscow to be working together they've been partners in syria where both of them have been fighting on the syrian government side so iran likely trusts russia as a partner going forward in these negotiations and of course it's an opportunity for moscow to show to position itself again as a go between in the middle east and to show that it's an important force in negotiating the future there in the middle east as well as in syria emily russia has already indicated it's open to joining europe and pushing to keep the around

you a lot of or the talks are a step in that direction absolutely russia has said that it's open to working together with the other signatories of the steel and putin has already in fact been talking to european leaders last week he had a phone call with german chancellor angela merkel and he'll be meeting matters as well next week in sochi and this is of course also a convenient opportunity for moscow to sit at a table with those european bart partners it's been kind of somewhat of an outcast in the european community particularly after the screwball case when britain accused russia of poisoning a former spy and european diplomats were expelled from various countries and kind of dialogue was a was cut short and now this is a new opportunity for russia to sit at a table with its european partners so that will certainly be something that moscow

is. and the opportunity that moscow certainly interested in ok certainly one that there will be taken advantage of and while you're sure one thanks very much for that today from moscow. already there are now and european companies are scrambling to understand what the renewal of american sanctions on iran would mean for their business that's right brian iran has now given european you the european union sixty days to guarantee the continued implementation of the nuclear deal after the u.s. decision to leave the issue will likely be a focus of discussions between iranian and european foreign ministers in brussels on tuesday european commission president has suggested using the european investment bank as a way around u.s. sanctions legally european business is not bound by u.s. foreign policy but ignoring sanctions could affect their business interests in the u.s. the e.u. is resistance to the new us sanctions on iran could hit european companies where it

hurts and that's because most large european enterprises have some sort of business with the united states and are likely to be punished if they continue to cooperate with the run but european policy makers say they won't permit washington to dictate e.u. trade policy. that it was yes. i think there is a true realisation a realisation among all european states. that we cannot keep going in the direction that we are headed in today. she's a direction where we submit we submit to american decisions. we want to submit or do we prefer to become independent in sovereign swung. the question is how to go about protecting european interests you may have suggested instigating so-called blocking regulations that use most powerful but untested political tool currently at its disposal. the measure would permit european companies trading with iran to

ignore the u.s. sanctions decisions by u.s. courts would also not be upheld in europe. so far the e.u. has not signaled what measures they could adopt. the foreign ministers of germany friends in the u.k. as well as you foreign policy chief for. are scheduled to meet iranian representatives in brussels on tuesday they are expected to affirm their commitment to the original nuclear deal. all of very complicated situation to shed some light on it we're now joined by adult the l.c. is a professor of economics at the university of applied sciences inconstancy in germany but she also is there anyone benefiting from fresh sanctions against iran. well we just accomplished a academic research project with colleagues from the u.s. where we analyze how sanctions have economic kelly impact countries over the last sixty years and there are three important results which i can bring in first those

countries that are imposed with sanctions suffer significant reductions in economic growth moreover those countries that participate in imposing those sanctions also experience a significant drop in their economic perspective and relations with their countries these two effects are not very surprising if i think their expectable but there is a third effect which is very important i believe it's in the last sixty years we see that there have been always countries that do not participate in sanctions and these countries try to fill the gap and take away business from those countries that impose sanctions so economically it's not an exaggeration to say it's a lose lose. situation that is created by sanctions and it is also pushing away countries towards new partners. talk about iran how important is

the country as a market and trading partner for europe. well for an assessment i think it's important to be aware that there are not only one type of sanctions iran has been isolated from the international economic activities all with the last twenty years increasingly by an increasing number of countries and the last sanctions that the nuclear related to the nuclear program have been imposed by europe and the us unanimously together in that respect the market as such was isolated and was not really an important market as such but there were hopes after two thousand and fifteen when iran was allowed again to participate and sell oil and gas and for example to give you some numbers in germany there were predictions that iran could increase imports by a unity amount of ten billion euros but it's important to emphasize this not does

did not materialize german companies have been very reluctant because while the nuclear program related sanctions have been lifted unanimously with the us to have been still financial sanctions into us increasing the uncertainty for you german companies that they are risking. violations and last year cases in the us what will happen in the in the medium to long run if iran continues to be isolated by the west. well definitely devil be an economic negative economic impact in iran in itself but with reference to what i mentioned to the historical insights which we gain there are there is the high potential that other countries not following the u.s. are going to try to fill the gap china for example clearly indicated that is go it is going to increase trade relations and also to improve the infrastructure and

structure connections with iran in order to increase the trade and russia which has been historic you all historically always closer to iran also indicated it's going to increase business with iran and there will be for europe it's very very difficult situation economically the has been to sanaa and spent in the mid term to to improve economic relations with the country but the question is whether technically this is possible and i have my doubts because they are german banks really going to risk conflict in the us for the sake of a small business market just from an economic perspective so what i expect is iran is going to be more pushed away from the western alliance is as in the historical perspective towards china and russia and my last point maybe i was very surprised for example to japan and korea also met with china also to trying to jump on this

boat and trying to connect iran to the asian region stronger economically. seen the professor of economics at the university of blood science in constance thank you very much thank you. u.s. president donald trump says he's negotiating with his chinese counterparts to ensure telecom giant said he isn't affected by an american technology sales ban writing on twitter trump said he had issued instructions for officials to come up with a rescue plan saying too many jobs were at risk president zedillo of china and i are working together to give massive chinese phone companies it be a way to get back into business fast trump tweeted that he employs eighty thousand people and said last week that it made major operations had to seized after being banned for seven years from buying critical american technology raising the

possibility of its collapse. imagine for a moment you lost a hand in a work accident maybe one of many worries you'd probably have will be this one will ever be able to work in my old job top quality mechanical prosthetics are too expensive for many people to afford but now italian researchers have unveiled a new robotic prosthetic hand they say will cost around thirty percent less than the ones currently on the market but it's smaller than the price that makes this new hand revolutionary the how mr bought it happened he says myoelectric technology has a simpler mechanical design than other my electric bill statics senses in the hand to react to electrical signals from the brain to the muscles to activate the motors . italian retiree marco zambelli has been testing the harness hand for the last three years he lost his hand in a work accident as

a teenager and has used to pariah t. of prosthetics over the years. the hardest hand allow zambelli to complete tasks that would be unthinkable with most prosthetics. regarding the driving for example is no problem but there are other day to day challenges like using a knife what i used to eat with others and they were all using knives i just did without but now i've started using them and i'm quite good at it. the hand was developed by the italian institute of technology and the state workers' compensation press that extent. it has just one motor to operate all the fingers so it weighs only about as much as a human hand the developers say the simplicity also kept the cost relatively light around five million euros over three and a half years they say the low development cost means they can bring hummus to the market for around thirty percent less than similar press that ticks they hope to be selling it in europe next year for around ten thousand euros

a small price compared to years of lost productivity in the work force breaks it is less than a year away one of the constant points of contention between britain and the e.u. where farm subsidies and with britain leaving the block it won't have to pay for them anymore but that means the cash has to come from somewhere else it's looking like farmers will be tightening their belts. many small farmers are already fighting to survive in europe and germany is no exception. man runs a farm that he took over from his father sixty cows on sixty hc to his. dairy farming in the last few years i've seen a lot of farmers giving it up but you just can't make enough money out of it anymore. called dishman is still going

thanks only to e.u. subsidies european commission if a budget and human resources into a single has a soft spot for families. only if you look at the working hours of farmers who are out there in the stalls at five am even on weekends and late at night and then you see what they get for their produce how cheap food has become then it's clear that farmers wouldn't be able to look after their land and so quality produce without the direct payments as a second source of income. but these payments could soon be reduced when great britain leaves the e.u. they'll be less money in the brussels coffers farmers like will have to get used to a new reality. will lose six percent because of breaks it alone there are of course other important tasks that the e.u. has put money towards perhaps a key area is securing the borders. alongside border security education and research are also at the top of the e.u.'s list of priorities critics

say the agricultural subsidies have gone on long enough. in the long run we have to move away from direct payment subsidies more has to be left up to the markets there were certainly some things that should be financed like environmental protection in the agricultural sector but this should be done in a more goal oriented way and not just hand out money willy nilly. but the farmers lobby doesn't agree even moderate cuts are a sensitive topic. and we demand a stable agricultural budget. seventy percent of europe is rural land and the backbone of rural areas is farming and as a loyal european i see that maintaining a stable agriculture budget is a good investment in the future it strengthens the european community. much of

full going to it's a balancing act on one side the farmers on the other side the taxpayer is it won't be an easy road ahead and budget negotiations can drag on for years. hopes that the end result won't force him to close just like so many of his contemporaries have done already. and that's all your business is not a fast moving story with very fast in formula one for you and the spanish grown pretty mercedes made clear that they are the team to beat this season in previous race and racism was for aryans fadel they've been making their mark with clever pitstop strategies but in barcelona on sunday defending champion lewis hamilton turned the tables on. that world champion flexing his muscles lewis hamilton started from pole and left the competition in its tracks even during the caution period following this crash by roman grows on the briton kept his cool.

first sebastian fettered on the other hand it just wasn't his day his ferrari team's choice of tires didn't work out and the german had to be satisfied with fourth place. hamilton crossed the finish line unchallenged for the sixty fourth grand prix title of his career. that is not an amazing job and is really proud of everyone today because i myself thought that city today which i had been feeling for the whole year so it's a good fit. the triumph in spain gives hamilton a whopping seventeen point lead in the battle for the drivers' championship. this is that of years live from berlin our reminder that we'll be alive in jerusalem later today for the opening of the u.s. embassy in that city there forget you can always find about find out more about that and other stories that are website you know dot com by.
