the deal isn't green eggs seated within sixteen days iran will once again begin and reaching uranium to high levels the move comes at a time of growing tension between the head on and washington until the u.s. secretary of state my compeer made an unannounced visit to neighboring iraq they accuse iran of planning imminent attacks and earlier this week the u.s. announced it was deploying and aircraft carrier to the region because of alleged new threats from iran. joining me now from there don is amir see he is the french news age from the french news agency a.f.p. a welcome to a media iran has partially withdrawn from the deal saying it will reduce some voluntary commitments within its nuclear deal what exactly does this mean. well hello to you. if you fold a new source for this to be a specific it means that first of all iran is going to stop so its excess heavy
12:03 pm
water and its enrich uranium as part of the all was decreed and this is meant in a move to some let's say pursued europe into taking a stance against the renewed sanctions it's so far been the year and iran has claimed its. invasion is strategic patience for it to get one nearer what it believes is this right for all part in the deal which is sanctions relief and has not gone so well for so from what you are saying that this is actually a negotiating measure to put pressure on washington. well negotiating would be putting it to bro if you did this and what the president wants that this is not a real negotiation this is talking about the j.c. purely again in the framework of the g.'s if you are now you are has signifier has said that it has not left the diplomacy table but it has not signal that it's going
12:04 pm
to renegotiate a new deal or renegotiate the terms of the g.c. . but it is looking to renegotiate the terms of the deal because iran has given a deadline of sixty days to discuss as they're doing know exactly what iran is looking for well in the words of the president of iran is a clear of the looking for the banking situation and the oil exports situation to go back before the us left the deal back in may two thousand and eighteen now how is that supposed to come into play is not exactly clear but still iran does emphasize that these are still parts of the deals terms and these are not going to do in the renegotiated iran is calling for a want to return to the deal in their own words so and what iran has also said that if this deadline is not to met that it will start invitation you bring in and really give me a sense of what prompted this decision by iran was it just in response to the u.s.
12:05 pm
or is there also domestic pressure from hard lines hardliners at home. well it's obvious the it has various aspects now it's been a europe so far some what some might call it i mean ever since we had the rumors that this statement will be out on wednesday that this was the beginning of the end for the ages if you are but i would say this is the beginning and scott that things are going to start happen not after a year on its interactivity that world washington had the mike on the face of us or far not you one is going to do something new about it and of course it has this resistance from inside the country the economic reasons it does need its foreign currency supply to rise after the you can say the crash ryall has had so far and also at the same time in needs to do something about it from the outside is trying to manage is trying to manage the country from the inside that foreign policy has
12:06 pm
been too much into try and with the economy right right and they have asked the f.b.i. a correspondent in tehran thank you very much for that thank you for having me. now with me i have a mock whisk i'm he's from the gym an institute for international security a friend. we had what i mean had to say. and germany has been one of the driving forces in this new kidney how much of a diplomatic setback is this a move by the head on absolutely it's a terrible setback for driving foreign security policy all toward it in a bigger context for european foreign and security policy i mean the german government has reflected the withdrawal of the united states by exactly one year ago from the from the agreement and since then it's desperately looking together with russia with trying with the u.k. and france to sustain as much as possible from this deal and has set up a special purpose vehicle to facilitate trade with iran but wasn't really able to
12:07 pm
provide the economic benefits there and the government wanted to have the u.s. secretary of state was he drunk when he talked about specific intelligence attacks being imminent now what do you make of his claim i can't really dodge because it's intelligence how about think it makes sense given the recent escalation between the united states and iran over a bust that's a seeks weeks weeks it would make sense for oil in the writing point of view to escalate even one step further given the support of the already military superpower and i think it doesn't make sense to. stay so openly but instead put emphasis on some kind of as a magic wall for anything that would allow the government to. take spying or and that's or driven militias i've been there going on in syria on. so we
12:08 pm
can do what i mean you have to say he talked about this move maybe being an attempt to put pressure on the europeans who still support this deal into it confronting the. to cease and renegotiating the terms off this agreement within sixty days how optimistic are you that a compromise will be the first i would fully agree with his assessment i mean the you are in government has end of very finely calibrated message on the one hand saying we're not canceling the remit as such but withdrawing from some. agreements of this deal and it puts pressure on the europeans to deliver what the united states is. has rejected since one year given the recent tensions between the europeans and the united states but forgot that the nuclear deal i'm quite skeptical a of the europeans are able to deliver so what are the wind implications of this move lots of into international reaction coming in even if you
12:09 pm
how israel has spoken china has spoken russia has spoken with this saber rattling really enhanced tensions in the region think it might have made them but isn't for the middle east and for the nonproliferation regime and for the middle east we're back to the bush you know as to the exocet of evil yes and what have been left of the recent small between the united states and iran is in and has been destroyed and what the lesson for the north koreans for example they have to accept all the way will drop a conclusion that any agreement with the united states will not sustain and therefore a serious blow for any kind of number of proliferation efforts marcus' come from the german institute for international security affairs thank you very much for that and that is. turning now to pakistan and to the christian woman who spent years on death row on of blasphemy charge she has now
12:10 pm
left the country according to her lawyer she's arrived in canada where two or four daughters up for two have already been granted asylum for baby aasia bibi it marks the start of a new life in safety far from the islamist hardliners in pakistan wanted dead. she's one of the most talked about women in pakistan as a baby pictured here shortly after her conviction in two thousand and ten the christian mother of five sentenced to death for alleged remarks about islam during an argument with fellow farm workers who refused to share their glass of water with a non muslim she was acquitted in october twenty eight hundred and went into hiding not on death row but still in constant fear for her life and this is why hard line islamists calling for her to be hanged. this supreme court's decision triggered days of nationwide protests. for her in every corner of the country
12:11 pm
the sons of islam have voiced opposition to the supreme court verdict by going on to the streets. what kind of a verdict is this from the supreme court of an islamic republic which is troubling muslims but satisfying infidels. demonstrations were only called off when the government agreed to bar bibi from leaving the country pending an appeal to her acquittal but this case is already linked to the killings of at least two people. the governor of punjab province some on to z. are seen here on the right was assassinated by his bodyguard in two thousand and eleven after speaking in b.b.c. defense leader the same year federal minister for minorities shahbaz bhatti was killed after calling for her release. and this was the reaction in january of this year after the supreme court upheld its verdict that's crowds demanding be stuffed . joining me now from lahore in pakistan is you know giuliani she's
12:12 pm
a human rights activists and an advocate of the supreme courts and we welcome to you here on our reports say bibi is in canada is any official confirmation of that . also i don't have any. doubt that. if you have. actually checked the comeback of prison because of the militants who are. being. i'm going to tackle. that i mean that this case had really poor as the country now as if he was acquitted last year and that they could it was upheld by the supreme court and get she had to live in hiding so what's the reaction been there to the news that she's there left the country. let me correct the impression that this was. the general public i can assure you of that.
12:13 pm
but it invaded also kind of objections and the extreme opposition to not akin to that was coming from the general public it was coming from certain people just often and groups who have. you know had our influence on the state don't play disproportionate to dead. you know. supported in amongst the masses so dense in the parise ation is not the issue here it is how anything there are turned extremist religious groups who have in the past that you. asked me of or other individual cases to establish. in the population generally to establish their incomes of control of us dated concedes and actually demonstrate
12:14 pm
that they can if the state or. to the extent that. in justice to certain and innocent people and then that doesn't really or was about the steelers and intimidations and was able to give a very reasoned judgment and give getting heavy innocent just by these militant groups but i doubt. you know have their show on the street spark more. than just a fight. because until then and can't control that many just a little bit of control but are. actually the cost of showing people these people these late the state who just the state fighting the opposition against. and right. well. right we have to leave it there hugo jilani
12:15 pm
a human rights activist and an advocate of the supreme court in pakistan thank you very much for your assessment. that we're now being updated with some other stories making news around the while staying in pakistan at least nine people were killed and dozens more wounded in a bombing at the super strand and a whore police say the explosion struck a security checkpoint outside adopted that basha rhine and the building had previously been targeted in two thousand and ten when a suicide attack killed more than forty people. do 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 hospital in a critical condition authorities have not yet commented on a possible motive for the attack. you're watching the news coming up ahead we'll tell you about liverpool stunning come from behind victory against barcelona in the
12:16 pm
champions league they were down by three goals in the first leg but still they found a way to put themselves into the finals. but first to south africa where people are voting in presidential and parliamentary elections that will deliver a verdict on the performance of president siddle. and his ruling a.n.c. have been watching the approval ratings plummet as he struggles to make good on promises to fight corruption and get the economy back on track although the in sees expected to win this election as it has every time since the country and much from white minority rule twenty five years ago analysts are predicting that its margin of victory will fall. joining me now from johannesburg is the w's christine welcome christina at a polling station what is at stake in this election what are people saying to you.
12:17 pm
i reached up also was just here he voted at this station that i met this is in seoul which saw a lot is at stake particularly for his party as you rightly say it this is the hardest fight the a.n.c. has had to fight yet. it is the most difficult election simply because there is just so much discontentment among south africans a lot of people i'm happy with the slow rate of progress and added to that the amount of corruption that has taken place under the previous and see president jacob zuma so a lot is at stake for this party he spoke out on the polls and he addressed the media he talked about the fact that he is going to take care of things that corruption that he's going to create jobs that he's going to bring investment that is needed in this country he talked about not wanting another generations of south africans to live in poverty. in an alley in downtown johannesburg i meet rico he's twenty seven doesn't have a job and sells drugs to earn a living i can enjoy his book ok i was looking for
12:18 pm
a job and i didn't get any job so i was like ok what can i do cause like i need to pay for my bills my ran my shoes my clothes food everything so what can i do i came out on prom frontin observe the place try to learn the place try to learn what everyone is doing around the place then i decide i better ok this people they love this they don't like this then we give them a deal of respect so which is rico ses he has a diploma in hospitality and wanted to become a shift he's given up trying to look for a job he's also given up on voting in elections for me since it was the of time. and i think it's always got time for me because like. after just about that i won't get anything in a new one even give us drugs good food to give them more support but at the end of good the results don't get any kind on yellow is twenty three he spends most of his
12:19 pm
days in internet shops sending out he c.v. but he's getting demotivated like rico he won't be voting in the may election my frustration for you second to your need troublous or me being unemployed is the fact that like you presently have no move these are just two young south africans but the levels of apathy among youth in this country is worrying south africa electoral commission say sixty percent of eligible voters who did not register to take part in this election often know the age and that's having doubts about your hands but and this is a spot on the net with young people many of them have told me they won't be voting in this election the companies that for like this in all the companies that are happening right in general. did not involve denoting ties in the state as young people to be gauging that a lot of people really really really feel like they did. and it's useless to vote
12:20 pm
you know so a lot of people instead of being convince what to vote for you have to come pain and could give them toward frist i don't think any of. the main parties being. if we haven't a and c. are really catering to the needs most of the parties are promising job creation it's the right message for a country with an unemployment rate of more than twenty five percent but going on a little has found no comfort in campaign promises as smiler producer tried to be voting i think it's quite pointless because like it's going to take another i don't know how many years for us to actually realize change while he's given up on south africa's politicians can handle has not yet given up on his job hunt. not to force blacks in monroe who is in johannesburg to see the current president a philip was a when he came to pot and replacing jacob zuma he promised to clean up corruption
12:21 pm
and you know clean up the of house of the a.n.c. and listen to your report it doesn't seem he's been very successful. it's been a tall order and that's because the last two terms of presidency of a.n.c. presidency have been headed by jacob zuma a lot of corruption allegations have emerged and a lot has been taken out of the country's cough is by way of corruption they are commissions of inquiry right now and revelations coming out to the extent of that corruption so yes needed to go out there and convince young people that the party's taking a new direction and that was the whole point of him being in office now getting about about a year before he before the election really to prove to south africans that he wants to keep house and it's a difficult thing that he has to do it's also has to do with if you look at his cabinet compositions and whether or not he was going to get rid of certain corrupt officials some of those people didn't go from his government and people really convinced by that but the the really telling result will be how they see phase of this poll this is largely a referendum on him and whether or not those supporters of aid see who have left
12:22 pm
the party because of these things will come back because he is on him but because he is the president of the party and how much is the opposite of a threat is the opposition to the in seeing this election bodies that the democratic alliance and the economic freedom fighters led by a very charismatic leader read and research a big part of the da these parties are not expected to grow in this election the only party that really full cost to see gaining more support is the economic freedom fighters they have taken a large bulk of young voters young people are those supporters you go to rally you look around it's largely young people that miss a job taking back land without recompensation white people for example has resonated with a lot of youngsters in south africa who are living in poverty and so julius malema struck a chord with a lot of people here and is the result that is the party that many people see growing as opposed to the eighty of the da which will probably lose support as what
12:23 pm
some people are predicting here. christian when we're in johannesburg covering the south african election for the w thank you very much. and live a fool has staged a sensational comeback to advance to the final of the champions league but the victory over boston lunette jonathan crane from what is it talk to us about that match i was i will cup at five in the morning to check the results and let's get out of bed what happened this was a sensation that i think liverpool fans celebrating all three nights out stumbling home five in the morning or therapist i was wondering what happened it was really remarkable another incredible nights of action european nights at anfield it was ground they were three nailed down from the first leg without their star player and yet they managed to turn it around got the ball rolling off the seven minutes of the game really turned on its head amrita off the hof time georgine of arnold and getting two goals in the space of two minutes is fast i was right then ahead that
12:24 pm
said that never were things on aggregate three or three of them on the night and the best day was yet to come an amazing corner by trent alexandre on notes taken quickly caught everyone by surprise and a reeky was that to get his second goal of the night liverpool's fourth and that was enough to seal the comeback for three on aggregate they went straight. joining in the celebrations afterwards he said never. really didn't do it and i have seen it this has to be a historic comeback given that they would treat goes down in the first leg and they were facing down and missy this is the stuff the fs times it's one hundred eighty six the side is overcome that deficit side on that occasion so you can see the irony that by that clump the co-chair can crop and told the players for the day that this is impossible but if anyone can do it you guys can because of course liverpool and the team renowned for european comebacks they did it in two thousand
12:25 pm
and five in the champions league final against milan three no down to one penalties and they just threw everything about so they are really kind of how i read them from the start didn't allow pasta to settle them. messi is an absolutely shell so i want to teach him so an incredible comeback political clout now it's the champions league final in sixty's and he said last night was something he won't be forget think in a hurry let's listen because i really meant to look at giants it's unbelievable it's up to the season we played the games we had the injuries we have now in this moment i doubt if you go all of them. in school. but the penny off i don't think you find do you find a lot of people so and and then going out there and putting a performance like this on the pitch is is unbelievable i'm really proud. to be. the manager of this of his team it's unbelievable to what they did tonight is so special and. yeah. i do remember remember it forever bongos and
12:26 pm
you know he's looking shell shocked himself you're going to live up we're going to face in the final and do you think we could make it and win well we'll find out tonight because i x. . in the second semifinal i x. have a one goal advance in the fast like they're always there in the second leg so they favor that but i think if anything from this competition it's never right anyone off the top level probably have gained some inspiration from liverpool but whoever gets the fight in the face of what i think memorable will be the favorites every so you boy and let's not forget last weekend it looked like you know the premier league title forming out of the grass they were three no down and all of a sudden they're in the final best still in of the south the premier league they will be feeling very very pleased with themselves and joe and i'm sure a lot of celebrations going on in liverpool lots of hunger in the liverpool or no don johnson crane from us both says thank you very much.
