2:03 pm
iran and the iranian nuclear deal was almost ten years in the making and then it was agreed it was hailed as a huge diplomatic success one that's now in danger of being overturned. on july fourteenth two thousand and fifteen the west ordered a joint sighing of relief the signing of the nuclear deal with iran was the beginning of a new chapter in relations with the country i think this is a sign of hope for the entire world and we all know that this is very much needed in this times is that we have reached an agreement that will make the middle east and the world a whole lot safer. and. it is a step away from the specter of conflict and towards the possibility of peace. after almost a decade of negotiations iran agreed to get rid of ninety eight percent of its enriched uranium and to reduce the number of centrifuges in exchange for relief
2:04 pm
from international economic sanctions the deal established a new relationship based on transparency but by no means trust. our full powerful this is a bilateral agreement for yet for our forum if the other signatories comply we will make sure we do the same i don't know all that is immediate how awful that all your in january twenty sixth international sanctions on iran were lifted after the international atomic energy agency certified the country's compliance with the obligations established in the nuclear deal this time the sigh of relief came out of tehran the capital of an oil rich country driven to the edge of poverty by an almost total trade embargo in place since two thousand and six everything seemed to be going according to plan until donald trump came onto the stage he disliked the accord from the get go slamming the obama brokered deal was an important part of his campaign rhetoric once in power he followed through on his promise to pull out
2:05 pm
of the agreement which we cannot prevent an iranian nuclear bomb on to the decaying and rotten structure of the current agreement therefore i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal since then the us has reintroduced all the previous nuclear related sanctions against terror on along with other punitive measures. as a tit for tat the iranian government has now announced that it will stop abiding by some of its commitments and requested that the remaining signatories ease restrictions on its banking and all sectors should that not happen within the next sixty days iran has promised to stop complying with other restrictions established by the crumbling landmark deal. the talent defense minister was just on the line says it's essential to maintain
2:06 pm
a dialogue with iran and for europe to speak as one that she made these comments during a final discussion here a did obvious studios in berlin a joint production by d.w. and france twenty four they must understand we have to do all we can to keep talking to iran to make sure this agreement is maintained on all sides even after the united states has opted out and we have to assess these latest statements by iran together that's a first step in which europe can exercise its strength and make its joint voice her especially will sign a cough and for some analysis i'm joined now by cornelius on iran from the german council on foreign relations a welcome canniest on germany was it a one off the driving forces in coming up and agreeing on this nuclear deal how much of a setback a diplomatic setback is this a move by iran well first of all the deal is not dead with today's announcement by the iranians they have carefully chosen some of those elements which are not
2:07 pm
strictly elaborated in the deal so they themselves say they will still within the confines of the deal this is what all those elements that they have said they're not going to comply it's about the heavy water storage and it's about enrich uranium which they are bound to sell on the international market but with u.s. sanctions there isn't even a buyer for these products so they are trying to comply with the deal but the u.s. sanctions make it impossible that but this is a minor detail so the i.a.e.a. the international atomic energy agency will have to verify over the sixty day period where the iran a still compliant but it has been compliant until today so the deal is not dead it's just another new phase of a hectic diplomacy i would say yeah and of russia has said that you know iran has been devoted to taking this action max to under pressure alluding to the united states to share this assessment well as we just saw from the statement today a year ago u.s. president trump announced the withdrawal and they have since and barked. mexico non-pressure complained with new sanctions against iran so iran could have left
2:08 pm
a year ago they in their own words they have been patient for a year they have applied the limitations of the deal until today so it's in that sense there is the move by the americans came first and this is to an extent an iranian reaction yes but then this ostia washington has been turning the screws on iran a bit i mean and the latest announcement that we've had from secretary of state my own bill thing that they had intelligence specific intelligence that an attack was imminent blaming it on how likely does that sound to you what do you make of this claim well obviously i don't have access to intelligence so it's easy for the u.s. secretary of state to say that an attack is imminent we know about past intelligence turning out wrong after it had been double checked there is a great sense of worry including in the united states questions from senators from u.s. senators to my can pay or about how the administration is trying to link iran to al
2:09 pm
qaeda. enemy of iran because there is an authorization to use force against terrorists so the rhetoric linking of iran to al qaeda could be seen as a way to to go towards a militant military confrontation this is not imminent i do hope despite the strike area being sent to the region but there is of course escalatory potential right and iran has given a den of sixty days as we had to come up to renegotiate certain terms and this nuclear did how optimistic i know that a compromise village was six days is a short time and by the way it's not the first time europeans are giving an ultimatum about a year ago it was president trump giving an ultimatum to the europeans so as i said friends in diplomatic movements can be expected the europeans put in place a mechanism to trade with iran despite u.s. sanctions which is being built up so maybe within those sixty days if we can see. some progress on that side maybe on oil trade these are instances where we could
2:10 pm
give some some reasons for iran also to say that the peons have complied. i'm not overly optimistic but i tried to state. going to be thought about from the german council on foreign relations thank you very much for sharing expertise at that. now to the u.k. now where meghan and how to read the duke and duchess of sussex have presented their newborn son to the public at windsor castle the couple's first child was born on monday morning at a still undisclosed location the do you can duchess have yet to reveal the name of baby sussex it's an exciting day for the newborns great grandmother queen elizabeth who meet him today for the fust time he's seventh in the line to the british throne and is the eighth great grandchild of ninety three year old elizabeth britain's longest reigning monarch. national afonso is standing by in front of buckingham palace in london shot of everyone's been waiting to get

2:17 pm
in the opposition generally to establish their incomes and control over us do you concede. actually demonstrate that they can if the state or. to the extent that. justice to certain and innocent people and then that doesn't really or was up these years and to me and was able to give it a reasoned judgment and getting. innocent despite these militant groups that are. you know have their show on the streets far more more. justified than me because i want to control them and can't control them and just a little bit of control but there are. actually the cost of showing legal fees people he's getting late the state who just the state by any of your british and against and right at this point was.

going in secrecy right we have to leave it there he now jilani a human rights activists and an advocate of the supreme court in pakistan thank you very much for your assessment. to south africa now where people are voting in presidential and parliamentary elections that will deliver a verdict on the performance of president sitting. and his ruling a.n.c. party have been watching their approval ratings plummet as the president 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 and this predicts that it's margin of victory will forward. and if the deuce margin of victory a could make it even more difficult for president was i to restore his party star
2:19 pm
mr reputation and implement the economic and political reforms he's promised. so many south africans ciro around a poser embodied 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 you would all is up for nose and the wonderful door was open. as a young anti apartheid activist and trade union leader from a poser was a nelson mandela protege who led the talks to and white minority rule in south africa. but when he was passed over as mandela successor to president he turned his back on politics and focused instead on business becoming one of the
2:20 pm
country's wealthiest man. 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 showed 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 causing rolling blackouts that have hindered efforts to boost growth. in addition ram opposer is under pressure because the a.n.c. is losing voters to the more populist land reform policies of the f f 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 ram
2:21 pm
opposes 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. that is obvious christie mundra has been testing the mood on the ground to find of water issues matter most to south africans as they go to the ballot box. i'm outside a polling station in seoul where to about four thousand people are expected to vote here today and these are some of the early risers that you're seeing behind me a few people of course a photo they told us all process takes about ten minutes once you're actually inside the classrooms where the voting is taking place a lot at stake in this election and of course these are the people who are going to be deciding south africa's future want to have a chat to tending to hear she's in the queue waiting their turn she's actually very close to that you so says time later what are you hoping your vote would do if it wins the election what would you like to see them do for you did a very pleased let's go through all this especially local clinics local
2:22 pm
public schools. around the areas mostly in seoul with the latest lead as fights crime stalwarts or as the whole south africa as a whole has a problem with criminals hi jake king and all those things to once a better country is to hold please whoever that is going to really make a change make south africa a better south africa political there are forty eight parties on the ballot paper that's almost double the amount that was in the last election so a lot for south africans to choose from but it really comes down to the three main parties in this election that will be the african national congress this is the a.n.c. the party that has led south africa in the twenty five years post democracy you have the economic freedom fighters are in a new play on the scene but has gained a lot of traction in the few years that they've been on the scene there you've got the democratic alliance a lot is at stake in this election the two big parties being the a.n.c.
2:23 pm
and the da are expected to have not even grow the only party that people are really confident about the fact that they will grow in support is the economic freedom fighters a lot is at stake particularly for the african national congress the a.n.c. at the. it's been what he sustained activity is that it's still relevant to south africa and to take south africa to the future twenty five years into democracy. and live a fool has staged a sensational comeback to advance to the final of the champions league but the victory of abbas of illinois jonathan crane from dublin sports is if you talk to us about that match i was i will go up at five in the morning to check the results and almost get out of bed what happened this was a sensational match i think memorable for celebrating all three nights out stumbling hundred 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
2:24 pm
star player and yet they managed to turn it around to the ball rolling off the seven minutes of the game really turned on its head amrita off the house time towards the nirvana album that getting two goals in the space of two minutes is fast i was right so then i had. said that sings on aggregate three or three of them on the night and the best day was yet to come an amazing corner by trent alex on the 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 i could get a red shirt. joining in the celebrations afterwards his show said i never. really didn't do it enough to see me do this has to be a historic comeback given that they were three goes down in the first leg and they were facing down and messi just stop the fs times it's nine hundred eighty six for the side as i've become that deficit side on that occasion so you can see the irony
2:25 pm
that by that clump the coach jurgen klopp and told the players before the day 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 and five in the champions league final. against milan three no down to one penalties and they just threw everything a boss that i know really kind of harried them from the start didn't allow pasta to settle a messy absolutely shell so they wanted kate said so an incredible comeback political clout now its third champions league final in six season he said last night was something he won't be forgetting in a hurry let's listen because i really meant tell of 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'd be to go out there. and in our school. the n.e.r.c. i don't think you find you can find a lot of people so and and going out there and putting
2:26 pm
a performance like this on the pitch is is unbelievable and 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 will remember remembered forever bombus and 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 liverpool will give up we can make it and win well we'll find out tonight because i x. . in the second semifinal i x. have a one goal advantage in the fast like they're always there in the second leg so you favor that but i think if anything from this competition it's never right anyone off the top number probably have gained some inspiration from liverpool but whoever gets through to the fight in the face of well i think there will be the favorites every so you boy it's and let's not forget last weekend it looked like you know the premier league title forming out of a cross they were three nailed down and all of a sudden they're in the final the still in with a shout to the premier league they will be feeling very very pleased with
2:27 pm
