party the a.n.c. has been slighted clubs liverpool put four goals past barcelona's goalkeeper to win a place in the champions league final it is a stunning come from behind victory that a well samantha coach your been cops place in history. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program we begin with breaking news iran has announced it is partially withdrawing from a landmark nuclear deal struck with world powers in twenty fifteen it comes exactly one year after the us pulled out of the accord which was designed to limit tehran's ability to produce nuclear fuel now president hassan rouhani has said that iran plans to stop complying with certain parts of the agreement and says that if the deal isn't renegotiated within sixty days a wrong will once again begin and bring. can you grainy i'm too high levels the
10:02 am
move is fueling a growing confrontation between tehran and washington on tuesday u.s. secretary of state maicon pale light made an unannounced trip to neighboring iraq citing what he called the threat of an imminent attack from iran. and the u.s. is also deploying an aircraft carrier strike group to the region. for more let's go now to tel aviv where we are trying find middle east analyst mayor john but on far what could all of this mean now for the deal. the six means that the iranians of taken a decision to retaliate against president trump's decision to walk out of the long . run here and saw that they were not getting any benefits from staying in the deal . because of president trump you know what he may be difficult for you here countries to do business with iran and. iranians hardliners place tremendous
10:03 am
pressure on the government of president rouhani sure some retaliation because they believe that you know be passive about this is not going to increase iran's leader which of course the iranians also take no risks because it might undertake that some of these actions especially holding on to some of the reach raising money if they increase the level of enrichment it's going to really ratchet up the pressure and also it would damage their relations europeans but you know there were as far as the iranians are mine as well and some of the moderates are concerned over left with no other choice and they need to look at increase the leverage without willing to leverage against americans that really make some doubt on is this a negotiating tactic in your opinion i mean is there any way that this deal can be saved or is this now done. to be honest with you i don't see the president going back to the negotiation table because it's i think this is going to
10:04 am
ratchet up the pressure between the two sides i think two sides are now as slowly slowly going to starts to play a game of chicken the day running and increasing as it were already there were going to also excess uranium and grease a little in which they died is really going to put them on a pos. confrontation with the west and israel but on the other side the americans of all sides ease of pressuring iran to agree to a better deal. or send their you know are ratcheting up their military. presence in the persian gulf. almost in a region you can see both sides are doing this in order to increase their hand and in a go she shouldn't but you know it's very difficult so i decide to accept their opposite sides of the dishes as they run yes will say look we're not the ones who walked out of the nuclear deal was the americans and now americans president talking down defeat gives in to you by me and the minds of the moment because he sticks so much
10:05 am
of his presidency especially considering the fact that it's going to stand for elections in twenty twenty only see run things so what i've seen we see that we international community will be. very very. it's just a tense time from now on between iran and the united states they are down but on far the least analyst thank you. let's get the european view now from our political correspondent hans broad who is standing by in berlin and we have to say from the european perspective this was really a hard fought deal for them they have been working intensively to try and save it where does this partial withdrawal now leave the chances for this deal. well i think maybe one should look a little bit at the positive side iran has not thrown out the deal in its entirety it has taken a small step in its terms just threatening at the moment to withdrawal from
10:06 am
certain parts of the agreement and giving. a time period of sixty days for intense diplomacy to try and avoid that in other words iran is trying in some sense to give the west and especially the european some chance to try and salvage this deal but obviously with the united states really having said for a year already that they are not interested in the further in this deal in any man and man and in fact the increasing pressure on iran through the deployment of for the weapon weaponry in the area it doesn't look very positive at the moment for the deal as a whole so what reaction are we likely to see from the europeans well i'm sure there will be lots of diplomacy there will be pressure on the united states there will be attempts to renegotiate things with iran there will be attempts i'm sure to . establish contact with the russians and the chinese were also a part of this deal have also said that the deal should continue but we've seen
10:07 am
over the last year or so since the united states walked away from this deal that attempts by the europeans to help iran circumvent sanctions to help european companies so that circumvent the sanctions imposed by the united states have in fact failed iran in other words has at the moment the impression that any attempts by the europeans will go will mean nothing so at the moment things that look very well hans brunton berlin thank you hans. well we have some more breaking news and now to pakistan where did correspondent in islamic says that a sea of bibi a christian woman who spent two years on death row for blasphemy has arrived in canada where she has been reunited with her family that's according to her lawyer aasiya bibi was sentenced to death back in twenty ten after being accused of insulting the prophet muhammad in a dispute with muslim colleagues last year she won an appeal against her conviction which sparked widespread protests throughout pakistan and death threats from
10:08 am
religious extremists the mother of five had been living in safe houses since her sentence was over turn to. three and correspondent arsalan khalid who is standing by for us in islamabad so do we know where aasia bibi is right now. well sources from foreign office and thought that she has left but just on and she has reached canada to unite with her daughters would wonder gee a living there but the foreign office of blackest sun is yet to make an offer should a statement about to go there confirming of the sources from the foreign office to different offices they confirm that she has left and the news is every day but they are going to make an official announcement of that and if i go back to the boss it was just a month ago on tenth of april when brown mr cox on the wrong time in an interview when he was a lot asked about us. he made it clear that she's a free foreman and she can travel anywhere she wants when it was asked specifically
10:09 am
about is it a matter of days or beach she's going to leave pakistan premises at that it's going to take few weeks and if we look at the time it's been a month almost and the sources confirm that she's left but this one she has reached an adult do you believe unite with her two daughters and do we know how she is how she's doing. well since the supreme court of pakistan to quit to go from the blasphemy charges and she was released from well done jail on a special aircraft she was brought to islamabad and since then there was very less information about. what's under want anyone where it was unknown to anyone nobody saw or nobody or demeter and she was living in the safe houses because of the securities and so nobody knows her from pakistan and that's how she is and any more information about it and no one has it in baathist my canada.
10:10 am
because gathered it was she had a different job of tricks while living here in pakistan and if i go back to the prostrate after the supreme court they could tell from the blasphemy charges there was a set of protests all across pakistan by the religious extremist political parties and. well although the does of those parties are under arrest right now and situation is quite contorted in pakistan because of the threats that she had actually appeared in living in pakistan as i told you who question was not known to anyone who would was not known to anyone and because of the fact that time to go out those are living in canada and the prime minister of canada of was quite interested in helping us to get out of pakistan not only can it out of a few of the other countries start with bullshitting with the baathists the new government and finally because of the fact that our two gorges out there and the negotiations have been done with the damage in their own destinies and she's there
10:11 am
for canada. i slap thank you so much it's. let's get a quick check now some other stories making news around the world also in pakistan at least nine people were killed and dozens more wounded in a bombing. in lahore police say that the explosion struck a security checkpoint outside of the shrine the building had previously been targeted in a twenty ten attack when a suicide bomber killed more than forty forty people. two students were arrested at a school in denver colorado after they opened fire on their classmates one student was killed in the shooting while several others remain in the hospital in critical condition authorities have not yet commented on a possible motive for the attack. or polls have opened in south africa's presidential and parliamentary elections as voters give their verdict on the
10:12 am
performance of president. robert posts and his ruling a.n.c. party have been watching their approval ratings nosedive as he struggles to make good on promises to fight corruption and get the economy back on track although the a.n.c. is expected to win this election as it has every time since the country emerged from white minority rule twenty five years ago analysts are predicting that its margin of victory will fall sharply and covering this election for us from johannesburg. and this could really be a decisive election for the country what are the issues at play right now. after talking to some of the voters here at this polling station earlier i asked them what are the expectations for the new government that will come in and beyond was the same like the one i feared and cowed to times before everybody here says they want the new government to fix the economy unemployment rates are extremely high every fourth person if not more is unemployed the economy has been struggling
10:13 am
the growth is lower than the growth of the population and this is of course a major challenge for a country that is plagued by a huge inequality and this is something that is really argentina has to be addressed. ok so let's look especially at the leader there in south africa because you know a lot of people will really be looking at his tenure and rendering a verdict on it and then i'd really like to get your reaction there are. so many south africans cyril ramaphosa and body to a new chapter and leader who enjoyed support and trust right across the class and color divides. when he replaced his disgraced predecessor jacob zuma first as leader of the a.n.c. and then as president he promised years of corruption and economic mismanagement were over a new door is a poor nose and the wonderful door has all right thank you. as
10:14 am
a young anti apartheid activist and trade union leader from opposer was a nelson mandela protege led to talk to and white minority rule in south africa. but when he was passed over as mandela a successor to president he turned his back on politics focused instead on business becoming one of the country's wealthiest men. later it was the backing of the business lobby and his boardroom experience that would help give him another edge over other contenders to replace jacob zuma. but scenes like this show. the kind of challenges facing around opposer and the a.n.c. back home protests across the country at issues including government corruption a lack of jobs and poor public services. and the troubled state utility eskom rationing power and causing rolling blackouts that have hindered efforts to boost growth. in addition ram opposer is under pressure because the a.n.c.
10:15 am
is losing voters to the more populist land reform policies of the earth so he's pressing ahead with the expropriation of white farmers without compensation but risks losing white support and that of the international community. cyril rama poses future is all but certain his preferred path is one of stability and growth but if this election doesn't hand the a.n.c. enough votes from a poser could find himself losing his grip altogether on the divided party. and i agree on ram opposed to he came to power replacing jacob zuma who was plagued by scandals he was supposed to really clean the house in the country and his party how successful has he been in doing that. well it's too early to say because he's only been in power for about
10:16 am
a year but he has been coming out with very strong words when it comes to fighting corruption and it was the same also during the campaign time this time around to us really strongly saying that people who are corrupt will be spacing the consequences no people who are corrupt will be seen in government offices anymore they will not get any jobs anymore but the question is will he be able to follow up on that and this will of course take time because the corruption has been going so deep into the system here and many people are predicting that the the answer is basically how many votes will he gets this time around because the a.n.c. has been winning all the past elections for twenty five years now but the voters numbers went down and down and the question is if they will get a strong mandate once again by voters to really address this issue of corruption and clean up within his own party and one of the parties that really stands to gain i made that uncertainty is this a populist party the economic freedom party led by malema what is their appeal.
10:17 am
rights they are mainly addressing the poor masses of walking class but also the unemployed saying they have not been represented by the a n c their issues where not addressed and they are quite successful in that they're very young party rather radical approaches they make a lot of noise but because of the lack of performance of the a and c. of the lack of service delivery lack of creating jobs of course they're appealing to a lot of young voters in particular and many say they will definitely increase their votes they will not get as many as the other big opposition party most likely the democratic alliance but they're the new players on the ground and this is something they have to watch out and if the a.n.c. will not address the issues that they have been criticized for then obviously they will get more votes in the future as well. creation's the voting kicks off there in south africa thank you. you're watching. news still to come on the program we will tell you about liverpool's only come from behind victory against barcelona in the
10:18 am

10:22 am
minutes and then the game was turned on its head in two minutes in the second half that man georgie nirvana album on as a substitute school the first for this right for the second with his head so that levelled the tie on aggregates real we can see. under to say going there absolutely helpless and then with ten minutes to go develop ricci scored his second of the night little pools for that was a sneaky quick corner from trent alexander on a completely cold possibly not even a really didn't seem like he'd seen the boards that was on his face and he put it in the nets and that report remarkable comeback never gave up that set for most of us. as they certainly did not give up at all incredible three goals down against barcelona their superstar lionel messi i mean this was really a historic come back wasn't it true he was it's the first time since nineteen eighty six that the side has overcome a three go with any final deficit to advance to the final the last side to manage that was barcelona against. the irony won't be lost on them of course second season
10:23 am
as well in a row that they've lost and thrown away three goal advantage that's right in the course of finals last season but this wasn't about also i don't know capitulating it was all about liverpool a remarkable performance and then they really were down bottom line of play is next and from the word go brilliant individual performances to. set up a couple of the goals right back and you can claw the coach we know how passionate he gets is now in see his champions league final in six seasons and even he can believe it after the game for me to screw up and to have to describe it it's a big heart and tonight it was obviously like crazy but what is it won't know about the hard numbers pounding how moving like crazy and you could hear it probably and feel it all over the world so it's just believe i'm so happy that we could give to people. this. lucy experience so they've conquered barcelona and now
