9:03 pm
about more change than we've had under the j c.p.o. way since adoption of the iran nuclear deal iran has actually increased its destabilizing behavior across the middle east and it also has not deterred iran's intent to acquire a nuclear weapon and so we're putting in place a new security architecture that we think is going to actually achieve our national security objectives not just for the united states but for the world. however many experts are skeptical saying that you are telling the run to stop being iran and its rival on the other on the realistic that the iran iranian regime is going to comply with the statement so are they on realistic well if it won if iran wants to be treated like a normal nation it has to start behaving like a normal nation and this is a still there is no country in the world that sponsors more terrorism than iran and so much of its terrorism and sectarian violence that it has been fueling across the middle east has occurred during the iran nuclear deal and so we don't think that
9:04 pm
this is a framework that has achieved the goals that are needed around nonproliferation and also counterterrorism. we have already seen some reactions from iran iranian officials saying that that you goal is a regime change in iran so is it your goal no our goal in views of iran is for them to and their nuclear weapons program and their nuclear program which has the intent to become to achieve a nuclear weapon we also want them to stop the terrorism and the violence across the middle east we want them to stop violating the human rights of their own people and these are all reasonable demands so i think that we've become desensitized to a lot of what iran has been doing over these last many decades we've gotten used to it in some ways and we need to change that paradigm we really need to get iran to join a more civilized sort of community of nations and it has been we've seen over these last many years u.s.
9:05 pm
secretary of state my point he has said today in his speech that the u.s. is would like to continue cooperating with its allies however we have to say that some of these allies including germany would like to save the existing iran nuclear deal and there is actually a meeting of g twenty foreign ministers meeting taking place in argentina and may not taking part in this meeting instead he gave this speech today sending maybe a message that you know the u.s. is ready to move forward with all its consulates talking to its allies you know the secretary has actually already spoken with the foreign ministers in germany france and the united kingdom will continue consulting with allies in europe and also in the gulf the middle east other parts of the world this speech today he asked countries around the world who care about the halting the spread of nuclear

9:10 pm
as its pick for prime minister and he's a law professor with no political experience a leader of the far left anti-establishment five star movement and we get to my own said that his party and the far right league and proposed a joint candidate during a meeting with the president mr. the announcement comes eleven weeks after elections left the country with a hung parliament. all right let's bring in our very own band riegert he is covering the story for us tonight in rome good evening to you van't so who is this man joseph a concert and what is it about him that means a far right and a far left party can agree on him to be their prime minister politics in italy work differently and it's no surprise that the prime minister shows no who's not a member of the coalition parties that it's not so unusual that happened before but
9:11 pm
this time it's very extreme because the populist parties are extreme and mr condit is very unknown to everybody in italy he is a law professor and he is an expert of administrative law but he never appeared publicly he never held public office but he's leading to the chain cristela movement and that that may be the reason that he was chosen to lead this government and both parties both party leader as. will hope to control him from behind so to say and it may be that both of them will be in the cabinet of this prime minister and he will be their puppet on the string yeah i mean this is a political in of no name it still remains to be seen whether or not he will be a puppet to one of those parties and we know he has to get the approval of the italian president how widely is that.
9:12 pm
it's quite likely that. the president will approve this choice because the new prime minister to have a broad majority in both houses of parliament and also sixty percent of all italians according to a new poll supporting this populist government this new approach this revolution as you said so much irrelevant to go along with that otherwise he would just cause an institution or. government a crisis but he will not do that and we know that five star and the league of me they've both been very critical of the european union so how is brussels likely to respond to all of this. well the populism watered down the rhetoric a little bit but of cause europe and the very suspicious to see what now happens what with the actually do the the contract of the coalition is
9:13 pm
a long list of wishes and also you can say aggression against the e.u. because the government says they were not alone no longer go to the rules of the european union they want new treaty is in favor of italy in this of course cannot happen france and germany have already warned that if they can. destabilize the eurozone and everybody will watch how the markets will react italy is heavily indebted one hundred thirty percent of g.d.p. is similar to the debt so it's very very difficult for an italian government actually to spend so much money and the you will watch closely and. then say stop if it's necessary i didn't record in rome tonight parent thank you very much. when german journalists have revealed evidence suggesting that russian authorities covered up doping test results from footballers in their countries world cup squad
