goods as u.s. officials won't trade disputes discussing 12th soft. targets with movie legend darren speck has died at the age of 97 to look back at some of the most the comic moments coming. i'm phil welcome to the program. iran's at the center of a growing rift between the united states and its european allies meeting in brussels today e.u. countries to the u.s. secretary of state mike notes to escalate tensions with iran britain and germany raise concerns over a potential accidental military conflict in an already unstable region here foreign ministers were meeting to discuss ways to salvage the iran nuclear deal a year after the u.s. withdrew from it. the u.s.
9:02 pm
secretary of state's visit came as a surprise mike pompei you turned up in brussels with the message that if europeans were discussing iran he should be there too even if he wasn't invited. but what he heard from his e.u. counterparts was mostly criticism the risk of war in the gulf has escalated since the u.s. pulled out of the iran nuclear deal a year ago. and it's a problem. for us in europe we're united in our view that this deal is vital to our security no one wants iran to be in possession of nuclear weapons it says that's the goal of this accord and that's what we had achieved so far therefore we will stand united for this agreement to be implemented because that's. after donald trump withdrew from the deal last may he reintroduced harsh sanctions against iran and most recently he sent warships to the gulf iran followed suit last week by abandoning part of the deal. a puzzling incident in the gulf of oman is an
9:03 pm
indicator of rising tension in the region. the united arab emirates says this oil tanker with one of 4 commercial vessels attacked and significantly damaged near the port of food on sunday emirates officials have not described the nature of the attack or who is responsible what is clear is the growing unease in one of the world's most significant shipping had 20 percent of all oil transport passes through the strait of hormuz it's. easy to foreign officials warn the incident could trigger a major conflict all the more reason to restore the nuclear deal with iran but we need to make sure that we don't and this here all of a paltry you terrorize ation because if iran becomes a nuclear power its neighbors if it wants become a chip house this is already the most unstable region in the world this would be a massive step in the wrong direction pump a 0 left brussels after just a few hours without any change in washington's position. no change either in e.u.
9:04 pm
leaders desire to save the nuclear deal with iran and with no concrete plan on how to do that tensions are likely to grow further but. let's get more on this from teresa dropout who has reported extensively on iran 40 w. and now for in brussels we have rebecca written as well welcome rebecca welcome let's start in brussels with you rebecca i wanted mike pumper walk 20 gatecrashed based this meeting in brussels and didn't get it. well it's hard to say exactly what he wanted to mean as we just heard it was a surprise visit he didn't announce it until he was getting on to the aircraft to fly over his so it's not an exactly what he want wanted but if we assume that he wanted the e.u. to join the u.s. in dropping the nuclear deal then we can safely say that he didn't get what he wanted failed the e.u. went into that meeting pretty united pretty confirms that they want to maintain
9:05 pm
they believe in the deal they want to keep that they left that meeting with exactly the same voice say they do not want to abandon iran nuclear deal. with the source or taking place on a day when there are fresh tensions in the persian gulf war that we could have them referred to in the report just talk us through what's been happening we're fried about the alleged assault on those 4 vessels in the persian gulf and while that it's not really confirmed what's what's happened there or who might have been behind it and of course his contributions to the fears of open aggression in the region i mean it all happened just like days after the u.s. announced that they're moving to warships there to the persian gulf including a number of b. 52 bombers and i mean that's into the area where there are iranian military is already active because it's basically their backyard so with those 2 militaries around just a tiny misunderstanding could lead to an open confrontation of course and with the
9:06 pm
lack of diplomatic channels between washington and tehran right now that could lead to further escalation because during the obama area the foreign ministers used to talk on that right now is not happening so with more escalation coming that could also not only be in the persian gulf but also in iraq and syria or even israel and this is for the british foreign secretary jeremy hunt was making today yeah that's what he said he said that it's doesn't really take much for an open confrontation so that both both sides should be aware of that and be like restrictive in what they. doing and be careful so what is iran what's its end game what is it trying to achieve by announcing its partial withdrawal from this deal i mean it's basically just trying to put pressure on europe because it's been a years since the u.s. withdrew from the nuclear agreement and back then all the other remaining parties china russia and also the european countries said they want to keep the deal alive
9:07 pm
and the europeans said they would do pretty much everything they can to save it and make sure that iran still gets benefits from keeping its part of the agreement but that not this didn't really happen because everything all they did was talk basically they couldn't really live up to it so what rouhani is trying to do now with a deadline is say you have to acknowledge because he's under immense pressure domestically ok rebecca riches in brussels so does the e.u. have a plan will it pick a side. well it's these finding itself increasingly stuck in the middle between a rock and a hard place and it really doesn't want to have to pick a side they haven't spoken publicly about another a an alternative plan may they want to maintain the deal they they believe in it. they have said that actually just after the press conference of foreign policy chief frederick a moderate moderate moderate me said at the conference he really wanted to stress that the iran have been are holding their end of the bargain as long as they do
9:08 pm
that you want to maintain doing business with them she said that the only body that could decide whether or not they were holding up their end of the bargain was the international atomic energy agency and so far they've found that they were so that she really wanted to stress that they were the only body that could determine this until such a time when they are not. determined to continue doing business with them then you are obviously worried about escalation. they want to maintain restraint. so are we likely to see further escalation or that's hard to tell of course but it's definitely not in the interests of the iranian people therefore already been suffering from the effects of the sanctions that are crippling the country's economy so they don't want any further escalation of course but what happens from now basically depends on whether the 2 men in power that's donald trump in washington and ayatollah ali how many into iran would want to risk. bringing their
9:09 pm
countries to a war they both cannot win. thank you rebecca this is in brussels thank you. now we'll take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world swedish prosecutors say they'll reopen a rape case against wiki leaks founder julian was songs and see his extradition from the u.k. mr soames took refuge at the ecuadorian embassy in london 7 years ago to avoid extradition he's denied the allegations. thousands of families in syria fleeing after i asked strikes hit rebel on claims in it laban hama province says syrian government forces began advancing on the region late last month human rights reserved say more than $300.00 people have been killed in the offensive. police in shock as a muslim man has died after being attacked during anti muslim rioting it's the 1st fatality in

be on the ballot paper but there's no doubt these midterm elections are all about him this is a referendum on president roderick are due to have today and his controversial rules. millions of filipinos follow their lead and turned out to vote many for the candidates who have his backing because of the i want to do and change the people who will really help our president. you're going to straighten but i also voted for a few from the opposition so there will be checks and balances. when president eternity came in. the crime was cut to 70 percent of depression. but not everyone is happy with a man who proudly launched a brutal crackdown on illegal drugs thousands of being killed in detaches war on drugs including this man's nephew kyin delos son tell us he was shot by police and
9:12 pm
found here. but you don't believe in the way we should choose a candidate who respects human lives. about someone who appreciates human rights more about is ready to fight for the poor like i was about me here about a guy and i mean we're seeing that the people who are killed are only the core. detent a has also denounced human rights and put journalists and press freedoms on his list of enemies but bob there has been some international condemnation he successfully courted other populous leaders like us president donald trump. even serenading him. do tatting now expects to seal his own domestic political power through these elections for a new senate isn't local officials whatever the opposition most believe it's
9:13 pm
already a done deal. china has announced it will increase import tariffs on $60000000000.00 worth of u.s. goads in response to new american targets on chinese goods the decision raises juices on the list of products that were already affected by earlier retaliates levies american liquefied natural gas and airplane parts on amongst the goods targeted new terrorist take effect from the 1st of june leaving time for both countries to try and work out a trade deal. stephen because lee from d.w. business can tell us will welcome steve how much to the to these tariffs hurts each of the countries as we're seeing right now you can see some of the pain already from the markets for example the renminbi which is the chinese currency had its biggest one day last since last august dell jones and s. and p. 500 you know traditional gauges of economic activity in the u.s.
9:14 pm
they're both down 2 and a half percent so big losses there on both sides as investors feel that this is going to spiral out of control in the u.s. the biggest brands that are hit are you know manufacturers like boeing like caterpillar big exporters chip makers those who stand to lose from new tariffs on their products and i think here is china can't really compete with us dollar for dollar they import far less than the u.s. does so they can't match the dollar for dollar on these imports of course is part of the problem as far as adults trump is concerned exe well that's part of his advantage that's part of his advantage he believes is that he can put more tariffs on imports than china can put in american imports however china can target very important sectors in the u.s. economy u.s. economy for example agriculture already have 25 percent tariffs on soybeans for example and now liquefied natural gas that's 2. southwest both those area agriculture and financial houses sort of trump traditional bases so he's going to be hearing a lot more about their pain from them for example to the rest of us this sounds
9:15 pm
like a trade war is it right it's sort of hard to define i mean remember that the center of this is still a goal a trade agreement between the 2 nations in that there is so much posturing that goes on but yes as they raise tariffs then the rest of the world is affected and that's when you risk a trade war so when trade flows get diverted products that can't go to the u.s. they have to go to they may be dumped in europe they may be dumped in southeast asia and so other countries fearing for their sectors then they raise their own trade barriers and that's when you see a trade war when suddenly everyone says no more in our area we can't we can't have this we're going to raise tariffs we're going to raise here we're going to raise tariffs and then it really becomes something that spirals out of control so what can we expect in the coming to use i think the days ahead it's going to interesting to see one of the things that that investors are going to wait for is another sign that there are further trade talks trump has said that there might be a meeting with believe in june with the g. 20 we'll see if that actually takes place and then also the u.s. says that it's preparing further tariffs some $300000000000.00 worth of chinese
9:16 pm
imports and that of course good for the reza stakes that could further inflame investors and what they see as situation is getting out of control steve bisley from de to do business thank you. voters in india have been taking part in the world's biggest parliamentary elections nearly 900000000 people are eligible to vote on the elections take place in 4 weeks across regions the penultimate phase of voting which includes the capital delhi took place on sunday. is the part of the controls the city of the moment they hope their efforts to improve public education convinced voters feed only correspondence on a follicle report. and this is how prima francis begins her day getting a grandson when it's ready for school. she's raised him if since his mother a school dropout moved away to work pretty much also didn't get the chance to go to
