2:02 pm
hassan rouhani without preconditions the statement comes after a week of increased hostility between the two countries iran and washington are at all odds over the fate of the iran nuclear deal which truck withdrew from earlier this year even by president chump standards the statement made it's a news conference with the italian prime minister was surprising their quality is the first time a u.s. president has offered to meet with an iranian leader since the islamic revolution nearly forty years ago. and i would certainly meet with iran if they wanted to meet i don't know that they're ready yet they have a hard time right now but i ended the iran deal it was a ridiculous the i do believe that they will probably end up wanting to meet and i'm ready to meet any time they want to and i don't do that from strength or from weakness i think it's an appropriate thing to do this statement was all the more unexpected given the flare up of tension between tehran and washington over the
2:03 pm
last week on sunday the iranian president won the u.s. to stop provoking his country. mr trump don't play with the lion's tail this will only lead to regret you will for ever regret it. true to form trump responded on twitter this time with an all caps to rate warning rouhani he would suffer the consequences the likes of which few throughout history to ever suffered before if you threaten the us again ending the tweet with the words be cautious. the two sides began to escalate their rhetoric in may after trump withdrew from the landmark accord aimed at limiting tehran's nuclear program and in an initial response to trump's new offer iran has stressed that there can be no dialogue unless the u.s. returns to this nuclear deal and suspends new sanctions. u.s. secretary of state might point peo also say that while he's on board with trump's initiative he thinks iran should change its behavior before any such talks take
2:04 pm
place but as president trump said in monday's news conference his meeting with north korea's dictator also compounded expectations but in his words produce positive results so maybe the international community could be in for another surprise when it comes to iran. or more now let's cross over to tehran with eric randolph who is a correspondent for the french news agency piece thanks for joining us what more can you tell us about the reaction from iran to try statement. there is a reaction so far the a little bit cautious about rushing in to responding to this will say from south. eyes of the president saying that the precondition for meeting would be that the u.s. comes back to the nuclear do it reduces its all spit it starts to respect the early nation before any troops can happen but so far i think they're weighing their
2:05 pm
response because it is very skeptical about you know they've never talked to the trumpet ministration so now president rouhani has been criticized for making a deal with what hardliners air and call the greatest satan in the first place so can he afford to pursue rapprochement with the u.s. a second time. certainly true the romani has taken a big political hit from this he invested a lot of its legacy is new to it and see him reaching that nuclear deal in being the guy that could make a deal with the west bring iran back into the fold the collapse of that to you is left a lot of people going to iran deeply deeply that sick of politics deeply discouraged a lot of young people who simply want to leave the country now they really don't see much coming out of this in the conservatives of that town this is proof that it was naive to have
2:06 pm
a trust the americans and they feel very indicated this point in the supreme the specifically said it's useless to talk to the americans this under the from the administration since they simply can't be trusted to uphold their side of the bargain what about ordinary iranians how do they feel about trump's nuclear diplomacy or at least what he's had to say about it recently. sure you get a whole range of opinions some people see the deal making. for that but i think as i say most people have simply lost lost hope and any moments when the u.s. and iran. are the educated are a. very hopeful twenty two do you do the signs now to see that the lot of them just do not hope a lot of them simply want to leave. others of course is proud to. have the
2:07 pm
resources to. really want to make. too many people feel there's much good for. them between the ages. all right thank you very much that was eric randolph there with the newspaper see a piece speaking to us from tehran. turning now to northern iraq which was liberated nearly three years ago from the so-called islamic state when it swept through the region targeted minority is like there's a yazidi is who don't follow the islamic faith militants killed kidnapped and enslaved thousands of years it isn't even now the group is still recovering from the genocide returning and starting afresh is a mammoth task very few people have tried to start a new life in the region and its capital city jar or as it's known in kurdish. brigade to travel there and brings us this exclusive report. on
2:08 pm
the capital of the ruins devastated by invasion and the fight for liberation most people fled when so-called islamic state took the city and killed and it's left thousands now that these limits have been expelled only a few residents have free to and in many fields like a ghost town. after liberation from my. only three thousand families have returned to a city which once had more than eighty thousand inhabitants. there's still no sign of reconstruction there are no hospitals schools a functional administration has hedy's living inching gun hill abandoned by the politicians. the head of we've got no electricity and the water is bad. there are bombs and mines all over the place. they have to clear them. veg now before do you just can't live here there's no work so people aren't coming back.
2:09 pm
because the situation doesn't improve soon then we who have returned will leave again very soon got enough. stephanie yes he wants to stay no matter what the twenty four year old studied to be a teacher but there are no schools so he opened up a glass workshop with a friend the problem is that nothing is being rebuilt which means even his business is struggling. with people won't come back as long as there are so many different political groups here working only for themselves there are thousand different groups and they're all only looking after their own interests. he means the different militias that are still active in the city they run their own checkpoints and have their own agenda all parties want influence here in the
2:10 pm
singe amounts being close to the syrian border the region is strategically important to kurds to the central government and back to turkey and iran. she knows mayor for how to middlemarch says the city's people are suffering from this clash of interests he is the yes' e.-d. put in office by the central government then left to fend for himself. is it sounded that we heard treated like fourth or fifth class citizens let me give you an example i had to live in the mountains for three years and five months there were six thousand families in the mountains if we weren't you know c.d.'s they would have taken care of us like they did other people. more than residents come to him every day asking for money for reconstruction but he can't help them the government says it wants to press on with rebuilding but almost pessimistic after the latest protests he says he expects any available money to be spent elsewhere.
2:11 pm
or for more of the story we're joined here in the studio by did there was a son of the peters man she was in northern iraq for the making of that report as well. talk about strange or shin as it's called in kurdish it's a city that still in ruins after three years following the liberation are there any prospects of it being rebuilt icon foresee that at this moment because of what happened initially is the little bit of road clearance but then times seem to have stopped nothing else has happened ever after their only very few people as we've seen in our report that you know deaths to return and what you see. completely destroyed as if someone had just such a martin smashed into pieces and also if you look at the surrounding villages equally deserted hardly anybody living there and those who do and if they are they
2:12 pm
really have that sense of loss of their home that it's very palpable and also you know they feel insecure they don't know who is protecting them they're above all this city was a homeland for the years and it's not like they have many other places they can go they've been subjected to unspeakable horrors they see these at the hands of the i asked and more than iraq and elsewhere what's being done to help them. i mean a lot of people just decide to flee you know they use the these from st john many of them have turned to don't walk another city northern iraq in the kurdish autonomous territory and they live in refugee camps but then an awful lot has also have to decide to just leave the country altogether i mean just look at germany about one hundred thousand is e.d.'s have made it to germany and i'm living here now as refugees so these e.v.a.'s have basically they've gone to other places that some of them have managed to get abroad is not that easy to get to germany from
2:13 pm
that part of northern iraq do they have any clear sense of a homeland anymore. i don't think so of course if you speak to them they tell you this is the only place we know as home also if you look at that region singe are or shingle as they call it there is their holy land as well it's a famous mount center which is holy mountain to them the place of worship and up there on that barren mountain plateau you still have about ten thousand people living in ten settlements this also ever since august two thousand and fourteen nothing really has happened for them and if you speak to them up there on the mountain as we did even there people tell you we have done with iraq we have treated as for the cause citizens and the way too many militias up here are competing you know for power it's contested territory between the iraqi central government the autonomous kurdish government you have p.k. k. militias y p g militias from next door syria you have the iran backed militia xabi
2:14 pm
which is a really strong player in that region at the moment sponsored by iran who is again a major player in the war right next door in syria so it's all very complicated and somehow squashed in the middle east describe this contested area in northern iraq as that massive power vacuum there there are many minorities the the years edis are an ethno religious minority that with faced massive discrimination in the past are they still facing a lot of discrimination in their territory now given how contested it is briefly ken. let me give you an example we spoke to this mayor and he told us you know if i had had the right to shoot i would have killed somebody the other day he was telling us of the sony farm who used to support i-s. and he was basically grazing his sheep on a great maybe that your question center thank you so much and congratulations on

2:17 pm
are supposed to be right i think you. more away from society if. you accept that there there's like a cultural difference in parliament sara has an appointment with one of the initiators of the band mats for leader of the governing liberal party is convinced that the cop has to be prohibited even though fewer than two hundred women are affected they find no middle ground you're very ignorant about what i'm sure we're all over the loss of this is why i'm saying we love it why we need to electroplate the value i'm saying we live in denmark it's there in denmark we have lifted him a village in. the discussion escalates into an argument formats the kneecaps stance for the oppression of women that's why he thinks it should be banned. the cop shop on the commons of that thought all

instruments. to an end and that end is so for control of women and the not if occasion of the female gender and we want to fight that the ban on face coverings is one of several laws the government says it has introduced to integrate immigrants some critics say it will only divide society further and in the end to veils are rarely seen in the streets of denmark. sarah describes the new compass a sign of religious humility but if she remains faithful to her beliefs she faces a difficult future in denmark her idea of religious freedom could end in isolation within her own four walls. moving on to what could be the world's greenest football team forest green rover has become the world's first sports organization to be certified as carbon neutral
2:19 pm
by the united nations the club's chairman has even banned meat from being served at the stadium making green forest green the first big and football team as well here's a look at the march the green army. on the surface home games at forest green rovers appeared just like any other football game play is give their all on the pitch and fans they cheer them alone the forest green knows the green army is a different type of club. first of all only begin food is because of animal welfare and health reasons second the pitch at forest green stadium is ok nick and cut by a solar powered robot lawnmower and rainwater it's recycled the entire facility is powered by green energy and so the club have signed up for united nations initiative climate neutral now. so we become the first sports club in the world to be climate neutral according to the un which is quite exciting and. have three
2:20 pm
would do more with them i think we will because they're on the same page as we are sport looks to be a great vehicle to carry this is going to be the message. the united nations hopes for a screen's carbon neutral footprint will set a precedent for others to follow. through we're working on these sports for climate action in the ship there where we hope you all are going to say shows we'll also step up i won't carry action on climate for when rovers will be different leanna an example that we shared. their green credentials and also be matched by strong performances on the pitch for a screamer recently promoted to the english football league for the first time in their history. the american car company tesla is planning on building huge money for. facility here in europe has more talks already underway with two german federal states as it explores building what it calls
2:21 pm
a giga factory in europe additional negotiations are taking place in the netherlands the facility will assemble of batteries as well as vehicles according to tesla they'll reach a decision about the location by the end of the year just recently announced that plans to build a large factory in china half a million cars will supposedly be produced. comic has recently struggled to meet delivery targets for its mosque market model three. democratic steven beardsley is look further into the issue and joins me now in the studio steven first of all what is a google factory and why would tesla want to build one in europe so gigafactory is using the term that it's basically the quantity of electricity that tesla wants to create to make a defective battery for an affordable car so instead of kilowatt hours which we often talk about for utilities this would be electricity in the amount of gigawatts you want to produce massive amounts to bring down the price of batteries now that's
2:22 pm
part of tesla's overall strategy of making e-cards affordable making it something that you would look at as you look at a normal car here something you can actually for your budget now it has given factories already in the in the works in nevada for example in new york and then one in china and why build one in europe because europe is also a massive market and has already has two factories there so it could see some economies of scale well it sounds like a big deal and yet tesla has been in the news for something less positive than its production started is the company trying to deflect it possibly it would have every reason to tell those quarterly reports are coming tomorrow that investors are not optimistic at all in fact some are saying that it's going to look like a bloodbath. the big issue here is that tesla is burning cash to meet those production goals for the model three what you talked about it had to sort of move heaven and earth. they created actually a third production line in a tent to do this so the idea was move that cash meet your goals but investors look at this and they say where's profitably profitability coming along how sustainable
2:23 pm
is this. still toss it almost because he's been you know making big announcements he's amount of a great gesture does he ever follow up well i mean look at space x. look at what happened with the rocket launch in the boosters that self landed himself so yes of course sometimes what he does absolutely comes the payoff but you know he has a vision that is very stark and sometimes it hits a wall of reality especially when it comes to what investors expect what they demand and what they want to see out of his company if they're going to put money into it and that's the wall that he sitting right now especially with a lot of what he's doing on social media those are seen as distractions this effort to announce new productions of for example a self driving truck very interesting but could that just be a distraction when production of model three is the real big issue here europe seems to be taking you seriously though a reason to official officials have reportedly met with the company you would to i mean this is about jobs right is about economy if you look at the gigafactory nevada for example the promise is three point five billion dollars i believe in
2:24 pm
capital investments by build out and sixty five hundred jobs now that's huge if you're a government official you want to bring that's where you are the question though is it be interesting to see if tesla does do this how will it operate in europe a highly regulated environment where unions are very strong compared to how it operates or exactly compared to how it operates in the u.s. so that might be the question moving forward to tomorrow is really going to be the big question ok we will find out then thank you very much stephen bitsy. audi and dime la may have gotten their first but now b.m.w. wants to build cars in hungary to the comic who is investing one billion euros in a new factory in the eastern part of the country thousand employees will be building vehicles with combustion engines as well as electric and hybrid cars b.m.w. chose the location because of hungary's infrastructure the proximity to many suppliers and the well trained personnel factories in germany are working close to full

2:26 pm
triggered a big selloff of tax stocks but let's not forget what we're seeing here is a drop after a major boost that continued for nine years the tech stocks have almost single handedly carried a bull market for that long of a time the problem is that with that much of success there's a lot of expectation now and that expectation is already priced into the share prices so if a company misses that expectation it's likely to get hit i spoke to analysts earlier and they said this is been long overdue this is been coming and now it's happening. long term they don't know yet if it's too early to say people are moving out of the tech sector but short term banks are definitely profiting currently the mother of all tech companies apple is releasing the figures and i what can we expect. yes apple could make or
