not to use presence of ukraine bolshie one year old told him as the next to homes to build a new kind of leader the water plants and how these countries many chapters. i'm sure welcome to the program. with just 10 days to go before european elections the austrian chancellor is struggling to restore stability to his government since a funding scandal in brodie's junior coalition partner the far right freedom party sebastian coe said his conservative people's party was united in assuring that the allegations of bribery levelled against his vice chancellor instructor would be fairly investigated it is also just announced a proposal to fire here so far right interior minister. he said i had to put the.

freedom party believes that if interior minister had that kick it would be dismissed all ministers of his party should step down from government work if this comes to pass and i assume it will after this announcement i have agreed with the president that we want to ensure stability and till the election the full the vacant positions in the ministries will be taken over by senior civil servants in the meantime on an indian ministerial. let's go through this with a double correspondent barbara variable who's in vienna welcome barbara so the chancellor is proposing to sack the interior minister so what to explain just what that means. that means that after 3 days of the dithering and behind the scenes trying to somehow disinfect the freedom party enough to continue the coalition was them he has now acknowledged that that is not possible they have

not understood the true dimensions off the scandal sebastian cord set and so he has decided to finally kick out interior minister harper to kill that was necessary because he would be the one hugh he would who would have to investigate the allegations now nobody here in austria trusts kinkel to absolutely sort of to clean the own stables that is impossible and the courts knows of course that this trust likes and generally he said there was a lot of trust lost in politics and in his government's through this even scandal and therefore he finally pulled the curtain on the coalition because now what will happen is that the rest of the freedom party ministers will step down and he will then sort of have to install an expert government for the interim phase till the elections in september. elections in september. how likely is it that the chancellor himself well will end up being

a casualty of this whole scandal. he might yet become a casualty rather sooner than later because the next step is going to be that there will be a motion of no confidence in parliament probably already this month say that could be voted on as early as next monday so if all of the parties get behind it if their freedom party who is no out for revenge manages to say ok let's kick courts and then the social democrats the greens and the liberals say all right let's finish this charade then chords would be down then you would need a different interim government elections and you know things would get really uncertain here so this is a gamble of chords but of course but courts could in the end the pressure was rising couldn't not do anything else but really pull the curtain on the freedom party it was not tenable and more and more people were telling him that now it's

over you have to sort of finally say so and ignore that either people will sort of stay if you're so right as social democrats won't pull the plug on you or you just have to take the consequences bob are very slow in vienna thank you. iran has condemned a threat by donald trump on twitter yes we can the u.s. president warned about what he called the end of iran in response to france foreign minister japhet job sorry if you missed his twitter account to say iranians have stood tall for millenia while its aggressors are gone economic terrorism and genocidal taunts won't and iran ever threaten on iranian try to respect it works of relations between the 2 countries have worsened since washington point out of the 2015 nuclear deal last year tensions rose further one donald trump announced more economic measures against iran earlier this month. on humphrey has been following

the story for us from washington i asked her if this latest war of words is likely to escalate into a military conflict. listen we have been a lot of angry tweets of course fail and this is not the 1st time that the u.s. president has been involved in a war of words of course on a twitter but i think certainly there is some international consternation that this could spark an international situation i think that was summed up well by the british foreign secretary jeremy hunt speaking at the united nations in geneva who said let us not see this rhetoric round part and then you don't see 2 countries full into an accidental conflict was essentially he's a warning but i think this war of words is certainly symptomatic of trump's foreign policy stance a mix of flattery and then battery battery with that tweet but let us not forget that also speaking on fox news last night we saw the u.s. president say i don't want to go to war with iran war. before swiftly adding that

it also kills people as well but then disheartened rhetoric that we saw on twitter ratcheting up that rhetoric and many people say it is hard to know what donald trump the man actually thinks about iran and how to proceed further many accuse him of being influenced by those around him in washington let's talk about those around to because reports are all over the place this suggest that to security advisor john bolton is really the man behind the president who is pushing for. change in iran what are you hearing. certainly in washington fail it's understood that the national security advisor john bolton is somebody who's hawkish on a number of countries whether that is venezuela whether that's north korea and also iran and we certainly saw saw that show of force with the moving of b. 52 bombers and naval warships into the gulf at the moment that's seen as

a show of force grandstanding but certainly john bolton does have that reputation and people are accusing john bolton of good goading the u.s. president into war and that's also an accusation we saw on twitter from the iranian foreign minister himself saying that the president is being goaded by teen be the b. team and by that he means john bolton the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu as well as the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salma. what about reaction from other players in the region israel and saudi arabia for instance. saudi arabia has called for a regional meeting to deescalate the situation to discuss regional security it says that it does not want to go to war with the u.s. but iran rather but is prepared to defend itself israel of course the sworn enemy of iran we've seen those close relations between trump and netanyahu in recent months and certainly the israeli prime minister was delighted by washington's move

to declare the iranian revolutionary guard a terrorist organization so i think we can certainly expect the latest rhetoric out of the u.s. to be welcomed by israel of the home from washington thank you. now to ukraine where a former comedian volodymyr the landscape has been sworn in as president his 1st act was to announce that he would dissolve parliament and hold new elections in 2 months his 1st challenge he said was to end the conflict with russia in ukraine's east. it was a big day full of demons selenski and for his many supporters the beaming president elect embraced an enthusiastic crowd on his way to being sworn in. the integration is a reality check for a man who not long ago played the role of a president in a popular t.v. comedy show the outsider had been voted in on the promise of change.

and the country didn't have to wait long for the new president to shake things up as he does so all parliaments only moments after being sworn in a great fight dissolve the work of lower order of the 8th convocation. selinski call here snap elections that he hopes will give him a majority in parliament the president really needs the backing of the house to tackle ukraine's mounting debt a flag economy and to make good on his promise to fight corruption. and now the pressing issue is the simmering conflict in eastern ukraine which has claimed 13000 lives to date selenski has called for a ceasefire with russian backed separatists but it's not clear if moscow is open to dialogue with the prime western president selenski can count on the support of ukrainians but he also has to live up to their expectations. number which was wonderful to hear simple easy to understand words for ordinary people we hope

that everything will be alright the hopes riding on him are enormous growth is going to. go to the kind of taking away politicians immunity ending the war and fighting corruption those are the 3 main things that need to be done. like this shift to learn what we know and i do so i hope his actions match his words if they do i think ukraine will live in peace and plenty. tough challenges lie ahead and the one time act might find it harder to remain popular as an actual presidents. have a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world supporters of sudan's extremist groups have called for being frightened of sharia law and running new government it comes as the military and opposition resume talks regarding a transition to civilian rule the military removed a long time president of the al bashir in april. former south african president jacob zuma has returned to court where his lawyers have argued that he can't expect
