ruling party announced a sweeping electoral reforms but will that be enough to satisfy demands for reform the board so many out something the streets of the capital. i'm still gale welcome to the program. u.s. president to donald trump has signed an executive order targeting financial sanctions against iran supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei and his associates mr trump said the sanctions were in part of response to be iran's downing of a u.s. drone last week but that his administration had been planning to impose them even before that he claims the united states is not seeking conflict with iran but would continue to increase pressure to prevent the country from developing nuclear weapons. the supreme leader of iran is one who ultimately is responsible for the

hostile conduct of the regime he's respected within his country his office oversees the regimes most brutal instruments including the islamic revolutionary guard corps sanctions imposed through the executive order that i'm about to sign will deny the supreme leader in the supreme leader's office and those closely affiliated with him and the office access to key financial resources and support. the assets of ayatollah khamenei and his office will not be spared from the sanctions this could move from t.w. correspondent on the summit in washington welcome back so explain to us what difference that the sanctions are likely to make to the regime which is already suffering under u.s. sanctions. well the united states are targeting people they believe can be held accountable they can be related to the latest attack on

a drone last week though a shop down. in over the strait of hormuz fly you are a new revolutionary guards and their input to kill are trying to blow their assets here as you've mentioned there is among them the supreme leader of iran ayatollah khomeini among him 8 leaders all the iranian revolutionary guards with the ultimate goal to lock down their finances lock down the iranian economy as a whole iran has already vowed to not give into this policy of maximum pressure they believe that they have abided by the nuclear deal and that all they have gotten out of this is ever tougher sanctions by the americans so they argue that they might as well just go ahead and rich you're a new as they have done before because like that they would have these to have

a bargaining chip in their hand so what strategy is the white house pursuing what is the ultimate objective. we've been getting a lot of mixed messages from the white house lately there have been 3 policy turnarounds in the last week that raises certainly a lot of questions and the last turnaround shield was on the planned attacks in a. drone when just 10 minutes before the united states were supposed to carry out air strikes on iranian targets the president decided to 3 stop this attack citing 3 150 casualties that will be disproportionate in comparison to an unmanned 3 drone that was shot down the ultimate pressure and this is tell them why it tells police that is to maximize pressure on the iran with the ultimate goal to get iran back of the negotiating table to renegotiate a nuclear deal president trump has been dubbing this nuclear deal this the worst

deal that was ever made and that will basically allow iran to continue working on a nuclear bomb and that is what the united states want to achieve by all costs the united states also holds iran responsible for shipping in the go for over the last 3 months washington said today it was to put together a coalition to protect gold shipping who's likely to be. so your day of state mike peel is currently traveling in this matter and trying to form a coalition here he held talks earlier today with saudi arabia who's a natural enemy of iran he is then traveling on to the united arab emirates he has been talking about a global coalition of partners in the arab world as well as asian countries and european countries and the latter could be proving particularly complicated within the european union there are several countries who are fighting by the nuclear deal

among them is german the who believes that 3 it would be easier to control. for. activities on the nuclear developments within the steel so there really contradicting views here and it will certainly be a challenge to put this international community together all of us so as you watch and since i think you. potters was killed when 2 german finds a jets crashed over the northeast of the country the 2 during a fighter planes collided in midair during a training exercise into the german state of mecklenburg western public radio the 2nd pilot survived. state of the art war plane tumbling from the sky. residents of the town of moncho record that the scenes soon after a smoke could be seen rising from the ground and in nearby lake area. the wreckage

of 2 you're a fighter combat jets was littered throughout the area of the planes collided and crashed. both pilots ejected from the aircraft one was found alive with parachute in tangled in a tree. he was rescued and rushed to hospital. the other was later confirmed dead parts of his body were found close to the crash site of this act craft. jointly developed by european consortium here a fight has been severed with the german effort since 2003. the aircraft since been plagued by technical problems. these and chronic funding constrains have meant that only a fraction of the fighters are combat ready. monday's crash will once again raise questions about the euro fighter and the german air force. in turkey where

opposition supporters have been celebrating their winning istanbul's reign run merril elections the results in the country's biggest city is a personal blow for president. who previously run the city for many years the trial has also begun 16 people accused of trying to overthrow his government by organizing nationwide protests 6 years ago the so-called again demonstration started as a protest against the redevelopment of a park in istanbul a city with limited green space and it quickly spread across the country. large crowds formed outside the courthouse in istanbul hundreds gathered to follow the so-called gazey trial including about $100.00 lawyers and opposition m.p.'s who consider the trial a farce. the government wants to send a message with this trial whoever is against us and takes to the streets were waiting for you. in 2013 a protest against the development of the park in the center of istanbul soon snowballed into a nationwide protest against the government they were brutally put to

a stop now 16 people are on trial including businessman and philanthropist. he has been detained since november 2017 accused of financing the protests and attempting to overthrow the government. the prosecution's evidence is largely based on tweets and wiretap phone calls numerous foreign observers are there to monitor the trial. yet. they are trying to criminalize this very positive movement and claim that it was preparation for a coup d'etat. starts this is so absurd. it's reminiscent of the story the trial that. the trial is initially scheduled to last 2 days with the prosecution demanding life imprisonment. of georgia's ruling party has announced sweeping electoral reforms in a bid to placate protesters after days of unrest i've seen. really the country's

georgian dream party said next year's parliamentary elections would not be held under a proportional voting system it's a key concession to the opposition after 4 days of protests in the capital tbilisi bank is being fueled by the government's relations with russia which invaded georgia in 2008. gordie but the red sea is senior fellow at the georgian foundation for strategic and international studies also a long serving georgian diplomat joins us from the capital tbilisi welcome to d.w. obvious reforms likely to be enough to placate demonstrators. there were no good in personal there were several demands and only this particular one was that. they're very important or here is to remove the minister of interior which ordered the disproportional not just this portion of the senate to use of force against the protesters hundreds were injured several lost.

because the police was targeting them directly at their hands. i'm not sure that this government will get away that easily just by. this one concession but it is a very important one it needs to exercise for a number of years georgian little seeing has been more or less privatized by the scene and very shady who is not just a leader of the party but who happens to be an oligarch who controls a wealth that is comparable to georgia's entire g.d.p. so we are headed to were it's very troubling time but i don't it has actually risen great oaks week or a very long time for the 1st life so so many young people taking to the streets and a little cross this is no no just look within the old political folks ok with the

who are the dollars and the it's interesting there isn't that where the political establishments say it's because they're caught between the very rock of public opinion and the hard place of russia's reaction can can these reforms can can the government introduce reforms that will satisfy protesters and keep russia from from taking further action against it. one reason why this process actually started was that this girl and we're still trying to normalize relations with russia which may have been impossible. trying general lies the status quo occupation and this is. the reason why so many people took that was 3 words that the appearance of the russian deputy. deputies in the seat of the

georgian palmer chairperson were all just the last true member stations they've been observing how this government has been right sickly surrendering to russia's wish and the most important thing is there isa no way of not offending put in stillings ok you are building a democracy to russia's next to russia's borders so i kind of i have to leave it where i believe you'll get it but it's a bad time has been spent thanks so much for joining to deborah. all right 1000 people turned out for ukraine's biggest ever. event on sunday a heavy police presence prevented any repeat of violence against marchers and that the parade has seen in the past. rainbows as far as the eye can see so far so familiar but this is no ordinary pride parade security is tight and police often seeming outnumbered the participants here of
