fighting full full power in this region who's and who's going to be the most powerful state in this region for 4 years now and when we have seen this subject to attacks you know one has no one really has said this has been iran but it is clear that in between the lines that the saudi arabians and their allies blaming iran for this iran is already saying. ill thinkers shouldn't try to blame us it was as a geisha you gunson investigation and there's they're saying this could in the end be something that spark something that we can't control anymore and this is really concerning especially for belinda and the europeans because they say as soon as the persian gulf starts the war we are going to be the ones that suffer suffer most because we are the ones that are going to see the implications not of the powers in the world saying the us ok now or with speculation the exactly speculation that you mention about these incidents swirling u.s.

secretary of state might pompei o is making a surprise visit to brussels in a foreign ministers are meeting there today as europe tries to salvage a landmark nuclear deal with iran that's after the u.s. pulled out completely around itself partially would true the issue is proving a headache for european leaders. last week's informal summit in romania was supposed to be about setting a strategic agenda for the e.u. but the assembled leaders had to grapple with the iran issue 1st they stressed the need for diplomacy. we have to be very realistic about the means we have but all i can say about iran is that this country with its recognition of a diplomatic approach has a chance to make clear that it wants peaceful solutions in my view it's also in iran's interest to continue to on

a disagreement to begin. under the 2050 nuclear deal iran agreed to let the international atomic energy agency monitor its nuclear facilities and enrich uranium only for civilian purposes in return economic sanctions on the country were lifted. the international atomic energy agency says iran has been meeting its side of the bargain but the u.s. withdrew from the deal last year and reinstated sanctions now iran is threatening to enrich its uranium closer to weapons grade levels. and also but if these countries return to the table within 60 days and we reach agreement on oil sales and banking then we will uphold our side of the nuclear deal him or him. given everything else on the table including upcoming european parliamentary elections that leaves little room for the block to maneuver. repaired germany and the e.u.

signatories to the iran nuclear deal want to salvage it they want to keep it alive what are the chances they can do that after with tensions riving all the europeans are a little bit in-between lines and to the europeans this are a nuclear deal was a huge success back in 2015 there were the one that pushed it through that how does the deal and to seek its crippling right now to see it going to pieces of for them a great big problem especially as they have tried quite a lot since the last year since the united states withdrew from the free when they tried to install a trade agency which was supposed to work around the the u.s. sanctions given but in the end it didn't really work out as they conferee forced their companies to make business with iran but it still is very important for them on the. let's say the foreign secretary of the unit of europe today said for the rick i'm agreeing he said this is going to be something very important for and they want to work on it we have to be we could listen to it ok it's.

it has been and continues to be. a key element of no party federation in appreciation of that. so we'll continue to support it as much as we can with our instruments and the law political will this is very well known i think both in washington and in. ok that's the foreign secretary person for the e.u. right now speaking this morning so when you take that into consideration what's the state of discussions right now on iran between the e.u. and the other main player in all this the united states both the state house being reviewed by the you felt a little bit out of the loop at least foreign secretary mike compare of the united states is traveling to brussels today and he wants to meet with the e.u. signatory powers because france the united kingdom and germany to discuss iran

whatever he has on offer we don't know and we don't you know if the europeans have anything to offer for him especially as the united states have put out in the a pointed out in the polls that they are firm and that they don't want to have this agreement anymore at least if the are around is not moving so there's not very much myspace to maneuver for the right ok richard thanks very much for bringing us up to date on all this rupert devolved from our political desk this morning let's check in now with some of the other stories making news this hour u.s. president trump has defended his tariff policy after imposing punitive duties on $200000000000.00 worth of chinese imports. he said that we are right where we want to be with china the president accusing beijing we're taking on commitments in trade talks. voters in the philippines have been casting their ballots in midterm elections many see this vote as a referendum on president roderigo to territory. the most crucial races for half

the seats in the 24 member senate where territories expected to fill that body with his political allies. just the way he is a presidential election is headed for a runoff vote after the 1st round the economist and political novice thomas knows she will face off against the former conservative finance minister and greta she munty tough in the runoff on may the 26th. well this weekend saw thousands of people turning out for climate change protests and london brussels and paris demonstrations all of those launched by the so-called extinction rebellion movement which shut down much of central london last month it's advocating civil disobedience to force governments into declaring a climate emergency. think blood gushing down the stairs of a permission landmark a graphic warning about the dangers of climate change these demonstrators know that

to raise awareness you must 1st get attention climate protests are gaining momentum in europe after the extinction rebellion movement launched a campaign of civil disobedience in the u.k. the movement has now spilled across the channel if it is a need to carry out such actions as they do in england where london was brought to a standstill for some 10 days we must follow their lead but. it's our children our no compromise say. in london hundreds of mothers and their children took part in protests among the demonstrators was rosman kissy debra whose daughter ella had died from the effects of air pollution. from here basically to raise awareness that let's say she needs to be getting out that out and if you deal with that pollution you deal with climate change advice it needs to be something that is on everybody's lips we are not there yet but every single day there are more people

becoming aware of the. brussels de facto capital of the european union was also the scene of climate change protests some 15000 people took to the streets ahead of e.u. parliamentary elections 1st of all we want to show the politicians that we have to move forward on those issues that don't seem to act so a 2nd motivation for us is to raise awareness among the population organizers stressed that saving the planet goes beyond the focus on the environment. to solve the climate issue we'll have to rethink the global organization of our society it's clear that now it is there's a tendency to oppose people who protest for the climate and those who protest to increase their purchasing power we think it's possible to have policies which combined both. with concern over global warming arising chances are that such protests will become a regular feature in europe's cappa. while u.n. secretary general antonio good terraces urging politicians to make good on their

correspondent also take a look at this weekend's one asleep. but 1st today marks the 75th anniversary of a little known chapter in nazi germany history or to stop a lead raid on hamburg chinese community that raid on may the 13th 1904 led to scores of arrests and eventually the deaths of a number of chinese residents german authorities have failed to acknowledge this incident so far and that has left some of the victims descendants the sense of bitterness. that $77.00 mariota solti is one of the oldest bar owners and some to polly hamburg's notorious red light district. few customers realize that her hong kong bar is a piece of german chinese history in the $1920.00 s. hundreds of chinese sailors employed in the german merchant navy settled in hamburg they opened up shops and restaurants establishing germany's 1st and only chinatown in the city's lively entertainment district. the bar opened by marriott his father

was also a restaurant if i needed my natural he had a zest for life to find i felt at home here he had german friends and if he knew someone was down and out he let them die free of charge was that the chinese communities peaceful coexistence ended with the rise of the nazis who branded unions between chinese men and german women as race defilement. the persecution intensified in may 944 with the gestapo raid known as the chinese action historian lars amanda has documented the brutality used by the police and the gestapo during the operation. because i'm getting the why in total 129 men were arrested and beaten as they were taken to this police station from here they were transferred to the gestapo prison that foods booth where they were held for months . and 17 chinese prisoners died father survived but he

never received compensation after the war the german restitution office classified the chinese action as a routine police operation lars amanda calls that a mistake as this is the surviving documentation shows very clearly that gestapo offices saw themselves as some kind of racial warriors who get to extend the nazis policies of racial purity to hamburg's resident chinese population. maria to has come to terms with germany's refusal to compensate her father today it's the resurgence of the far right that she's worried about. it makes me furious that people have learned nothing from history on the contrary history is repeating itself that the older generation should be making sure the younger generation knows what really happened so it never happens again that means you death you would. not have to speak openly about her family's past so that the story of her father and how lost chinatown conserve is a cautionary tale for future generations. those bits of sports news though it was

a dramatic weekend in the world of european football imho talking from our sports this talk about that good morning alina a let's let's start in england manchester city winning an amazing darkhorse amazing indeed i mean manchester city retaining 5th title something that hasn't been done since 2009 and the last team to do so also came from manchester city that was manchester united but then so of course all over the moon right now in manchester this after they team few back after winning 41 in brighton and of course what better way to celebrate than to sing to your own hometown band he says and i'm sure they still singing but you know what also a shout out to live a pool of because despite you know winning 2 nil against was no miracle here it was a very close call city of course winning the title on 98 points that's just one more than liverpool but you've no but you know you've had

a great season when even pep guardiola the 1st thing he does is mention you in his post match interview let's take a listen. my dog is more more difficult so the 1st time less is always always perfect but this isn't good we had the negro open and so congratulation live it was love it is incredible season but. we did it we did. ok very happy coriolanus there you go yeah it's a good look at the bundesliga now lima frankfurt we're hoping to get back in the champions league it didn't quite work out for me as a prank but of course everything to gain but now possibly everything to lose i mean there fairy tale season could end up in a nightmare i get it they are extremely exhausted especially after that penalty shootout loss to chelsea last week in the europa league but yesterday losing against mines i think that just illustrates how exhausted this team is let's take

a look at the highlights. frankfurt and mines players took to the pitch amid a backdrop of pirates techniques on track fans are known for putting on a show but on the final home game of the season and with points needed to preach the top 4 they took things up a notch down on the pitch things were less fiery in a drum 1st half mines forward join felipe takes a point closes with this point blank volley. kevin traps for and say it was for nothing however with play pulled back for of side. thankfully the 2nd half was different minds came out hungry for goals and were rewarded thanks to some summations words from a taper and the coolest of finishes from anthony usia. destroyed partners linking up she probably to give minds an unlikely. than usual doubled his tally soon after his time putting in the work himself to swivel

and find a home in the 57 minutes. just the nigerians 3rd and 4th goals of this campaign. frankfurt's front line has won praise all season but with the clock ticking there was little sign of the old magic on say rabbit she's body language saying it will hit. the mines fans were singing now and as the final whistle blew frank foote players slumps to the ground in defeat. a loss which means champions league qualification is now out of their hands. so we know what about the top of the bonus league we have dortmund behind us on the wall right now some people are saying today that we're about to have one of the most exciting days in german football history sent overseas it's not considering like the dominance and how much you buy and have always in the past ran away off in

double digits with the title so you have to understand that. on sit on $75.00 point starts just 2 more than daughter but it won't get easy for either one of them and that's because by and will face praying for it so that it will be up against his old team and here you have 2 teams with so much on the line by any unit of cause have to win in order to secure the title and then you have frankfurt as we just saw they want to end this season on a high they want european football it's going to be a very similar scenario when dortmund take on got back because of course we'll have to hope that by and lose and then they win and oh but they are up against and to wants to see champions league action for next season so exciting times ahead i say to win and you can't miss those final end of the because they. believe that there is a very much a lemo dark force this. let's get you a quick reminder of our top stories this hour saudi arabia says a 2 of us oil tankers and sabotage off the coast of the united arab emirates this
