this is the news coming to you live from berlin north korea threatens to cancel its summit with donald trump pyongyang says it will not take part in the meeting if the u.s. insists it must get rid of its nuclear weapons is this a bump in the road at all is the end of a diplomatic fall in the coming also on the show. i'm going to make a difference the iran nuclear deal saying it's the best way to support peace and

stability in the region the german chancellor made the comments on iran and the host of on the controversial issues in a speech to parliament. and these people volunteer to fix it from their homes in the nigerian city of lagos to make where the luxury to property development the move was illegal but the city went ahead anyway it's now seeking justice. in the next half hour to the best clubs in europe squared off tonight in the finale of the europa league both musri and atletico madrid on good spirits the boches of steak we'll give you a preview. hello and welcome i'm on with the cima. north korea has thrown into doubt plans for an

historic summit with the united states young young says it will not take part in the meeting if it's going to be quote a one sided affair where it's pressured to give up its new idea the north also council the meeting with south korea in protest and military exercises be conducted by so and washington. history being written only a few weeks ago at the summit of the north and south korean leaders where yang said it was prepared to denuclearize but now north korea has put the brakes on. and a possible sign of growing problems the north perspire own a summit shed jeweled with south korea. the reason. these the annual us south korea joint military exercises that are taking place the u.s. and south korea were surprised and disappointed. that it's regrettable that north

korea has decided to unilaterally perspire on the upcoming high level talks we have not heard anything from that government or the government of south korea to indicate that we would not continue conducting these exercises or that we would not continue planning for our meeting between president trump and i can john next month . president trump is taking credit for shepherding the korean peninsula towards peace last month meeting newly freed u.s. citizens who have been held prisoner in north korea their release was hailed as yet another sign of thawing relations with pyongyang but now out of nowhere things could be up in the air. joining me now is aiden fosdike adi's a korea expert from leeds university in the u.k. it will focus on what do you see in these latest developments how much does it mean that this much hyped summit in between came john one and donald trump are just headed for next week is it in jeopardy. it could be i'm hopeful that it isn't

i if i can respectfully call it by what your correspondent just said i don't think this came out of nowhere the north koreans always do this kind of thing they play hardball and they like to keep us guessing it was all going thought it was really you there for those of us cypriots watching this process for a long time so it doesn't surprise me i'm hoping it's just a negotiating tactic so a bump in the road as for suggested they have there are all the hypotheses it's possible that there are divided councils and tell me if i can go that is very much in charge but i can imagine there are military hardliners who have a lot to loose or any outbreak of peace or they could just be cross there was an understanding that the only going u.s. south korea the exercises they were going to scream blue murder about the thing as such as they normally do but that was simply as the americans were supposed to bring in a lot of extra stuff and they have done so maybe it is safe i want to look playing by our rules so i recently called for them this is

a bump in the road to pick up whatever medical you like and we will get back on track again but even as you said north korea is known for its somewhat unpredictable behavior but this time why did north korea change its human after all of this symbolic reconciliation and woman would stay with south korea as well as you know the much hyped summit that the span of a donald trump. well yes they this is this is how they do stuff and it never goes completely smooth they say i see it as a kind of shots across the bow as it is a shame about the into korea thing that was seemed to be all going very well some very concrete things of course there's a lot to discuss between the two koreas that is separate from the nuclear issue that's obviously paramount old on america's mind that the two railway ministers were going to meet we could see the railways reconnected i am reasonably confident that the the end to career process will go ahead again if only because i think kim jong un's game is to try to deal with south korea on side to say look we've got a peace process going it will take time we can't have everything i have

a right away because certainly that's what that's what they're holding out full so you're saying that could be a subtle strategic method to all of this kind of only latest developments but north korea has what's the directive its anger towards the new u.s. national security advisor john bolton the north korean deputy minister of foreign affairs came chi kwon spoke about his feeling repugnance to one thing why do you think of pyongyang singled him out. yes it's probably on helpful kim k. grant of course is an extremely experienced north korean nuclear negotiator i mean he's well known to previous administrations in washington where christopher hill had low low talks with him and it in the pasta i think because potent is just such a hot line a and it is both sort of who i mean it's almost amazing with his in this administration now those trump assimilated slips from from war to peace you know because he's always said a lot of bad things often quite insulting things about north korea and he is the

proponent of the libya model libya model out mate with us need reminding is you decide you give up all your stuff you put it loaded into crates it gets taken to create tennessee and then what happens leon think you get out your government gets overthrown you dire all the grisly death the north koreans know that so look at this don't both say so if we can get past this you know if trump really wants the deal then you'll have to have his team in order although sort of chaos seems to rule in this particular white house i think we can get past this but it's a bump on the road right even foster caught an expert on korea thank you very much for your assessment right here let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the nation politician under it to him has been released from prison the former deputy prime minister to portly with granted a white pardon the release comes after his opposition alliance won the elections and this month an motive behind it was imprisoned in two thousand and fifteen on

controversial charges of thought to me. international weapons inspectors securing gas was likely use in an attack on a town in the syrian province of idlib in february that's after a fact finding mission revealed canisters determined to have previously held chlorine the u.n. backs team did not say who was behind the attack which took place in the rebel held town office. in tunisia at least one officer has been killed and several others wounded in an attack on police barracks in the town of reale police shot and killed four of the assailants and wounded one other the group slammed a minivan into a gate at the barracks and attacked offices with samurai swords. german chancellor angela merkel has again criticize u.s. president dollar trump for his decision to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal american made the comments during a speech to the german parliament she said it was wrong for the u.s.

to ditch the pact but she said crohn's atlantic ties must be able to endure disputes mostly by marriage but there are more issues to discuss like the ballistic missile program it or the influence of iran and hizbollah in syria. there are other questions as well. but the one question we have to answer and that we already have answered in opposition to the united states is there a stronger level of dialogue if one abandons the deal or is the dialogue stronger if one remains in the deal we believe that by not leaving the iran deal it will be easier to continue talks which we must do ladies and gentlemen because the ballistic missile program is a great danger most specifically for israel. that we now do in a political correspondent thomas spirals been listening to that budget debate here tell us first of all why did the chancellor talk about iran in a debate about germany's bunch it. essentially because the chancellor believes that

the stability in germany and their well being of germany does not only depend on the measures that the government takes here at home where they were talking about investment in schools or in other infrastructure but also about the challenges that germany faces internationally we've heard on many occasions from the chance that i am from other members of government the fact that germany's security is also pegged to the security internationally know their words their international challenges also affect germany domestically and that's the reason why i'm bill americal not only today focused on budget priorities were there we're talking about this investment push that we're talking or not acquiring new deaths or having a balanced budget but also specifically on some of the most important international challenges where anglo merkel fiercely believes on multi naturalism and that's why she stressed today what we just heard regarding the iran nuclear deal it was a wide ranging address which on the issues dominated the debate well obviously

international issues were the ones that dominated the debate anglo merkel started obviously by discussing some of these elements that we just mentioned the budget debate but then obviously stressed all these key elements that she's been talking about internationally with where the whether we're talking about iran or whether we're talking about migration whether we're talking obviously about the transatlantic relationship where we're talking about the german french relationship where we're talking about the eurozone it was absolutely wide ranging debate today a wide ranging speech by angela merkel but obviously the key topic and that's the reason why members of parliament are still debating this issue as was the budget and that's what we also heard from other members of parliament today and tell us the debate today was open by alys by the from the far right if tea party it's the largest opposition party in the been destroyed that's first have a listen to how she ended to speech today. indians in their police age and it's a tad to allow me to end with a quote from former czech president milosevic min it's something you've already

heard here and i quote if you live in a country that might penalize you for fishing without a license but not for crossing the border illegally without a valid passport and then you would be right in saying this country is governed by idiots slant yet fun do you think it. was. so that was the quality of germany's far right if tea party the co-leader now tell us we can't she was booed at the end of her species more about the tone of what she said and how it went on with other parliamentarians while this is being a tone amrita that we've heard from the f.t. on various occasions not the first time that they have such a tone when it comes to debates here at the obviously today the key topic being the budget and that's the reason why i was fired also was the one in charge of of doing

it she's got a background in economics investment banking and so on and she clearly stated that according to her and according to her party the budget was being presented is not future oriented some of us going to to affect future generations whether you're talking about pensions where they are talking about migration absolutely vital topic for the for the a if the vital believes that is that the new budget being presented is not going to be beneficial for germany but rather harm germany and that's also what we heard in that message that we just saw there thomas there at the german bundestag thank you very much for that. now the iran euclidian is expected to be high on the agenda of a meeting of european leaders in the given capital sofia today as the e.u. scrambles to keep the deed alive without the united states on tuesday a number of e.u. foreign ministers met the iranian counterpart in brussels to discuss ways to save the agreement it's unclear whether they will be able to give iran the economic and

legalities it wants iran's foreign minister mohammad job it is that it was cautiously optimistic but also conceded there was a long way to go. he started the process i believe we are on the right track now is a lot depends on what we can do within the next few weeks. present if you will make a statement on behalf of all of us and i believe it's a good start we're not there we're beginning the process and we need to receive those going to us we will see how best we can move forward. so that this moment a job is that if aidan's foreign minister. yeah joins me now on the future of the iran deal also has huge repercussions for business here in europe that's right i mean so european businesses are of course worried about getting punished by the u.s. for trading with iran after announcing his intention to withdraw from the iran nuclear

agreement u.s. president donald trump is now trying to pressure u.s. allies into following suit he's threatened to place sanctions on european companies that continue to do business with iran and is already naming names. to some gun j.v. and checks the news several times a day dear amy an entrepreneur is currently in germany visiting his business partners he sells medical technology and is also involved in the computer industry . donald trump's decision to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal comes up at every business meeting. how will the e.u. react will there be new sanctions against iran. done shavian has made a lot of contacts through international trade fairs like this one in tehran last year and he has contracts with european companies but now many of his partners are uncertain about the future of the businesses. currency right now we have

to sit down and see what's going on basically through the improvement relationship between iran and european companies especially with germany and the very moment you know he's sorry we couldn't see who the real partner. and to be a spokes bomb speaks to his staff in the middle east several times a day fire video link from darmstadt in southwestern germany he provides high speed satellite internet to customers in afghanistan pakistan and iran. airlines have shown a lot of interest but getting the money together for these kinds of orders could become increasingly problematic that's just one of about what would have worked fine a week ago might be impossible next week getting some of the fun these big projects for instance a european bank with branches in the u.s.

won't be able to finance them or you can if you don't think. books is still trying to keep his customers in the middle east happy but if the sanctions go ahead business is like his might have a difficult future. u.s. trade delegation travel to china earlier this month to smooth out difficulties and trade relations with little effected seen today china's vice premier knew he is coming to the u.s. for a return visit and it looks as if there's some movement the u.s. president has already offered an olive branch to china when offering to look at lifting sanctions against china's tech companies that but he wants something in return. he might feel like yes china in the palm of his hand u.s. president donald trump placed sanctions on chinese electronics giant z t that almost ruined them but now trump is promising to be more lenient and help them back

into business provided china scrapped plans to impose sanctions on u.s. agricultural imports. it is well known that the president wants to reduce the bilateral trade gap. i think the way to do that is for china to lower barriers across the board in the us export now and do it that also creates growth or growth keeping these barriers down is important for u.s. farmers they would be hit hardest by the chinese tariffs announced in retaliation to transplant tariffs on chinese steel and aluminum imports farmers are important voters for donald trump and he'll need their support at the mid-term elections come autumn. and i also financial correspondent daniel cope in frankfurt what could be behind this sudden change of heart from dol trump. you know that's a big question we have to remember that trump has accused china many times to be sealing u.s. american jobs and that he was facing those sanctions because of illegal trade and

shipments with iran and also north korea so everybody was speculating what's behind this sudden change of mind was it a charm offensive to get a better atmosphere during those high level talks with china about future trade relations now it seems that there could be something totally different behind all of this why mr trump is negotiating with china on trade the trump organisation is involved in a deal linked to a chinese developer a stained old china chinese construction company confirmed that they had to formalize plans to develop a theme park in tunisia the park is a part of a broader project and the trump organization has existing licensing agreement for other companies on the projects their plan is to put trams name on the ghost corps and a luxury hotel and also a residential development on the premises so this could be a conflict of interest on the other hand he might also received

a call from big asset managers of g.p. morgan and blagrove those are the second and third largest holder off the c.t.e. hong kong hong kong list the cheers it seems said mr trump will be facing tough questions about that in the senate but one thing it's certainly clear it was not about those chinese workers scared to lose their jobs. thank you very much. it's safe to say that long distance buses in the us don't have the best reputation seen as an alternative only for those who can't afford to fly the german company flix boss has dominated the home market for a few years now now wants to repeat the trick in the u.s. and it's starting out west in california nevada and arizona where big cities are separated by big distances for the lines will be opened up in the coming weeks flex bus wants to service a thousand u.s. destinations by the end of the year the bus company was founded in twenty thirteen in the past year alone it has transported some fourteen million passengers.
