the president to approve that choice for prime minister. and russia faces a new don't think investigation less than three weeks until the football world cup german journalists a suspicious test results of russian squad members were covered up. i'm still getting welcome to the program united states has pledged to impose the toughest sanctions ever on iran following the u.s. withdrawal from the nuclear deal earlier this month secretary of state mike pump a of speech was delivered in washington while other g twenty foreign ministers met in point of sanders germany france and the u.k. fighting to uphold the deal but progress will be difficult with russia and the e.u. also absent from the meeting is more on what might prompt had to say. we will apply

unprecedented financial pressure on the iranian regime the leaders in tehran will have no doubt about our seriousness the iranian regime should know that this is just the beginning. the sting of sanctions will be painful the regime does not change its course for me unacceptable and unproductive doubt that is chosen to one rejoin the league of nations is will indeed end up being the strongest things in history when we are completely. washington bureau chief. welcome alexander to tell us more about about the us is twelve demands well there is a long list of demands as you said twelve among them requiring man steps could have been expect for example calling on the run to stop the end richmond of the randian something that was now it's on to the previous iran deal under strict

limitations the u.s. is also calling upon iran through these all the citizens held in iran it's calling for on the iran to allow nuclear on qualified access to all science throughout the country and it's also demanding that iran would stroll all its troops from syria and stop its activities in the region in yemen or enough ghana's down and that is indeed something that was not addressed by the deal and it is something that you ask is very concerned about what response is this likely to bring from iran. well the u.s. government is convinced that that's the right strategy because they're pointing to their maximum pressure campaign against north korea saying look this can work but we have to say that it's very unlikely because taking old

gaffer these demands would consider it a total of transformation of the iranian regime and that it's unlikely to happen however pumping oil is also promising that u.s. will be willing to lease these sanctions if iran is going to change its domestic and foreign policy so while my pump i was delivering a speech in washington a g. twenty foreign ministers will meeting in weather center is what should we read into his absence from that meeting. well we asked the state departments to explain the thinking behind that why pompeo was not able to attend the g. twenty meeting why he preferred to give this speech they have not come back to ask but we have to say that this was of course a speech that. was address or audience was also the domestic ones and at the same time we also have to add that there were foreign ministers not attending this

g twenty meetings for example meeting for example russia's foreign minister lavrov . this was his first major speech since taking over the state department so it seems that he's thinking it's very much in line with his bosses. he is and that's of course the reason why he was nominated as secretary of state in the same place in the first place we have to remind ourselves that the former us secretary of state rex tillerson has had to different views when it comes for example to the iran deal then he's president he was trying to convince president that it's the right thing to stay within the iran deal now with my thumb piano president trunk hassen secretary of say he is on the same page when it comes to the iran deal and to north korea i was under fire norman in washington thank you

and it was my daughter who has won venezuela's presidential election taking more than two thirds of the vote he described his victory as a triumph over imperialism despite a boycott by opposition parties who describe the country's election process as unfair the u.s. is one of a number of countries around the world to denounce the result and consider new sanctions against the socialist government. for nicolas maduro and his supporters the celebration with few surprises. it's a second six year term for the venezuelan president who won over two thirds of the vote. thank you for overcoming so many aggressions somebody was. thank you for joining me in so many battles and thank you for making me president. but it's a hollow victory the country's electoral storage fees say only forty six percent of

voters turned out at the polls. opposition parties say the real figure is closer to thirty percent. the main opposition party boycotted the election claiming it was rigged two popular candidates were barred from running one challenger who ran on little more than a prayer says the vote was marred by irregularities. we don't recognize this electoral process as valid as having taken place. for us there were no elections or were the new elections in venezuela need to take place. the duras opponents say the empty polling stations were kept open for hours past the prescribed closing time in a desperate bid to draw in voters. voting was very low one that it didn't used to be like this and they're hoping more people will eventually

come out but the truth is it's been very very weak we put the floor and there were only a few voters it was not like this in other years when there was a lot of people today i've been walking through town and the voting centers are mc . one on one you know with so much there haven't been many people because there was a campaign asking people not to vote they told people not to turn nights but some people from the other side have voted and we should be says have gladly come i. don't. know but you know. victory has been rejected by several countries including the u.s. which says it may impose new oil sanctions against the struggling state. take a look at some of the stories making news around the world think democratic republic of congo is launching i mean both the vaccination program today to try to hold

italian capital rome welcome bad today is today the day that italy gets a new prime minister and who is not likely to be. tell you the drama is finally coming to an end tonight you will know the name of the new prime minister but. until then the program has to be presented to. the president of the republic and the two party leaders. vini and the mio for the two populist parties in the very knowledge of the palace of the president. show him what they want to do and matter out of it not be very pleased he's a social democrat from the old establishment but he has no choice but to to give the. order to the new guy to form a government because the majority in parliament for this ought to coalition is very large and also sixty percent of italians according to a new poll supporting this experiment this green yellow coalition as it's called in

italy and the new guy on the block villa probably be a professor. a law professor from florence not so much known in the political field as of now. but he's leaning to but cristela the n.t. separatist anti establishment movement and so this law professor just how much import or control will he have over the coalition's agenda. well for him it would be difficult to rule because the two party leaders will be in the driver's seat or in the in the back row if you will they were try to have him as a puppet on a string just to fulfill the program they invented it's a very odd constellation that has never been seen in italy it is not clear if.
