news 1st hand. g.w. has it all. too much in common $26.00 to do w. . this is the news live from berlin a war of words threaten the stability in the persian gulf drawn hits back at donald trump after a weekend of talks on twitter tehran says it doesn't want a military conflict but tensions are rising as pashtun build up its presence in the region. also on the program austria's political crisis deepens as ministers from

the far right freedom party quit their government posts that's after translators abbas gen cortes sacked is interior minister in the wake of a corruption scandal. i'm calling asman in berlin welcome to the program iran is appealing to the united nations to help ease tensions in the persian gulf region that's after a weekend of talks when donald trump threatened and 12 in a tweet to quote and iran tehran has since responded with a warning of its own but says it's not looking for a war relations between the 2 countries have worsened over the past year after washington pulled out of the 2015 deal aimed at curbing iran's nuclear program. iran's foreign minister mohammad javad zarif didn't mince words in his response to trump's threats. donald trump hopes to achieve what i like sander the great genghis

khan and other aggressors fail to do iranians have stood tall for millennia while the aggressors are all gone economic terrorism and genocidal taunts won't end iran never threaten a rainy and try respect it works. it was all in response to trump's earlier tweet vowing to quote end iran if tehran wages war against the u.s. but on the streets of the iranian capital not everyone felt war was looming maybe sit on a war won't have to and it's trump could start one he would have done it by now so if he threatens i'm coming to you then come because if you say something you have to act on it let's see how much of a man you are. naturally trump does not and did not want war but apparently some countries in the region of pushing him in that direction. have it both where i'm seeing all the military equipment the us have brought to the

persian gulf i think they want to get results so results could either be war or iran sitting down for negotiations in the body similar to that. in recent days the trump administration has deployed bombers and an aircraft carrier to the persian gulf citing iranian threats to u.s. interests. on monday tehran upped the ante and announced it would cripple its production of enriched uranium if they do it means iran would soon go beyond the stockpile limitations established by the 2015 nuclear record album free is here from washington and she can tell us more on that helena welcome u.s. warships are on their way to the region so this is clearly much more than just exchange of angry tweets right. right call that is certainly the concern at least it's not the 1st time that the u.s. president has waged a war of words but i think it's fair to say that there is concern in the

international community that this tactic could one day go too far and that was the warning from the british foreign secretary jeremy hunt speaking in geneva saying let us not see these 2 countries accidentally trip into a warfare now iran is also bringing its own provocation day it announced that it has upped its enrichment of uranium it's quadrupled that although it remains within the parameters of the 2015 new deal so what we are seeing overall right now call is trump's particular brand of foreign policy flattery and then battery battery with that harsh rhetoric on those tweets but then yesterday remember as well we saw the president appear on fox news saying i don't want to go to war with iran was hurt economies before swiftly adding it also leads to loss of life so confused rhetoric that leading many people to question whether the u.s. president is sure of his position on iran or whether he's being influenced heavily

by those in his circle here in washington d.c. now speaking of influence a few years ago his security advisor john bolton wrote an op ed in the new york times it was entitled to stop iran's bomb bomb iran how much influence does john bolton have in the white house. there are certainly reports and talk here in washington d.c. about the fact that john bolton may be a man who is looking for a war on several fronts whether that is with regards to intervention with venezuela north korea and now also with iran and there's also quite some debate as to the movement of those u.s. military ships and b. $52.00 bombers into the gulf whether that is something that really is readying for warfare or whether it's more readying for psychological warfare an effort to bring iran back to the negotiating table on the 2015 nuclear deal of course remember up

until now washington has used economic sanctions in a bid to get iran to return to the table and that is certainly something these accusations of john bolton being the man pulling the strings that has been echoed by the iranian foreign minister himself who tweeted yesterday saying that trump is being influenced by john bolton as well as the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu and the saudi crown prince mohammed bin sultan man deriving these people as a trinity who comprise the teen be in foreign affairs our very own helen humphrey in washington thank you very much. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world venezuelan president nicolas maduro has called for early elections of the country's opposition controlled national assembly a drone made the call in a speech to celebrate the 1st anniversary of his disputed reelection which he described as a victory for venezuela's oil rich nation is in the midst of

a growing humanitarian and political crisis. just after former comedian a lot of years events he was sworn in as president of ukraine he's announced he will dissolve parliament and hold new elections in 2 months he says his 1st challenge is to end the conflict with russia in eastern ukraine. with just days to go before european elections austria is in the midst of a political crisis the country's junior coalition partner the far right freedom party party has announced that all of its remaining ministers will step down from their government posts this comes as chancellor sebastian cortes proposed that the country's president fire the far right interior minister as a consequence of allegations of bribery levelled against the vice chancellor christians. i will d.w. correspondent barbara vessel joins us now from vienna barbara but with all these these far right ministers resigning nearly the entire cabinet has fallen apart now

what does this mean exactly for the austrian government. it means that the austrian government will now really having to hold on the edge of the table really that they were going to have a hard time to sort of keep an office because they can of course to sort of look for a caretaker ministers however it is not quite clear whether that will go through in common because a motion of no confidence is has now be tabled on wednesday and it will already be in palm and next monday so this whole affair that started out you know is a sillies affair about the freedom party the eff here in austria is now beginning to sort of engulfs chancellor of course the prime minister himself dangerous time for him who had started out in office with such high hopes let's talk about

chancellor of course i mean he has to renew his whole government in snap elections that have been announced for september how difficult of a task will it be for him to actually retain his own post. it's not quite clear how this is going to play out will the voters and a fresh indication are going to be european elections next sunday because we don't know how much the voters are going to punish the freedom party their core voters certainly will stick to them with those that sort of. change came from the conservatives they might really punish them they might give courts a boost are they might over all sort of punish everybody who has been in this government that will yet to be shown the posters here in australia don't even dare approach gnosis they say everything is really up for play now and we don't really know what will happen it's open and courts is in a really very endangered position now he has it's taking the street days to come up

to just to keep go out and just sort of end the coalition was the freedom party is something that he basically could have and should have done last friday so we will see what he can do what his next step is going to be very briefly barbara do we know who will investigate all these allegations of corruption that came from this secretly filmed video. no nobody knows and everybody is gathered guessing it form a spin doctor of social democrats who started some some rather nasty interventions during the election campaign 2017 had 1st been on this is a suspicion that a guy called paul silverstein he denies it vigorously so nobody knows those rumors are swirling and a lot of fun will be had was chasing the people who thought the put the trap up that the freedom party went into so drunkenly. barbara faisal in vienna thank you very much. after 8 years 47 emmys one of the most popular shows in

t.v. history as ended of course or talk about game of thrones a record 19300000 viewers in the u.s. alone tuned in to watch that final episode but when you got that many fans it's impossible to please them all the finale has left many disappointed and many others wanting more by the way if you haven't seen it yet don't worry no spoilers in this next report. game of thrones. is over. the record breaking t.v. show's final episode tied up the loose ends of the world's most expensive 8 season $73.00 episodes television series watched by tens of millions across the world including in the united states. in chile. russia.

and a further 167 other countries. that set the t.v. standard in epic storytelling epic visuals and epic reactions was my. people who like came of thrones are a broad front there are young people middle aged older people like my parents who are over 60 and making fanatics the beauty of this series is that you can identify with any of the characters if you know the definition of t.v. success and in terms of production costs excess except the final episode got pretty mixed reviews. i didn't believe dorothy would go into because it was so great they. would see that it was like it is you know i knew what was going to. be good you always knew it was good but. many

fans and many actors grew up with the show it's truly the end of a t.v. epoch. i mean i thought i was it was my this but never say never a petition asking for a remake of the last series has reached well over a 1000000 signatures. perhaps another twist in the game of thrones saga. german world cup hero tony cross says signed on to stay with real madrid and a move he says will see him end his career in the spanish capital. despite real madrid's recent bout in campaign 20 courses committed to another 4 seasons at the club and the midfield schemer thinks he knows why the burnaby or trophy room is better. you know not a single player reach the top level as they had in previous years. there's perhaps

they need someone who is operating at the top level. of months 20 year old striking sensation killion him back pay for instance. when it was more like him back pay as a player but that question is not for me because i can't buy him. you know i have a good contract but i can't buy him that is a question for the club. to. be looked content on saturday as he picked up the award for the best player in league but despite p.s.g. see he will be at the club next season but he seems uncertain his future might lie on the city if it is a p.s.g. it will be with pleasure if it's elsewhere it will be elsewhere for a new challenge. and there could soon be a superstar sheet hole to fill at real madrid with gareth bale suddenly looking surplus to requirements despite his champions league career wakes up 20.

1 a lot of things here but working day to day that's the way it is whether we're talking about the present all the future we're not going to forget about what's happened in the past but as a coach i have to live in the present. president. with a summer of uncertainty ahead at least real funds know they can count on one world class talent for the forseeable. you're watching news from berlin stay tuned stephen bear's lee is up next with business and 20 more on the way into. i'm not laughing at well because sometimes i am but mostly i'm nothing with the german things deep into german culture. you didn't seem to take that as grandma did you know it's all about who they know i'm rachel join me from egypt on.
