this is either we news live from berlin or ramping up the rhetoric iran lashes out at the u.s. over its decision to impose sanctions on its supreme leader and the iranian president the curious is washington of lying over an offer of talks raising fears of an escalation of the standoff also coming up a scorcher europe is bracing for record high temperatures as a heat wave starts to move across the continent but take

a look at the do's and don'ts of how to behave when it's really really hot and feel driven the world cup spain give us all they can handle but a much debated telsey helps put the american story to the point of finals the u.s. strokeplay the tournament hosts france spent. the afternoon. on my heart thank you so much for your company everyone we begin with iran that country says the path to diplomacy between tehran and washington is now permanently closed well the statement comes after the u.s. impose new sanctions on iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei and other top officials an iranian foreign ministry spokesman said the measures were a sign of america's desperation but u.s. president donald trump called them a strong and proportionate. sponsor iran's increasingly provocative actions.

after ramping up the pressure the united states struck a more conciliatory tone at a meeting with israel in russia and jerusalem u.s. national security adviser john bolton encouraged iran to seek dialogue the president has held the door open to real negotiations to completely and verifiably eliminate iran's nuclear weapons program its pursuit of ballistic missile delivery systems its support for international terrorism and its other malign behavior worldwide all that iran needs to do is to walk through that open door predictably u.s. attempts to use economic leverage to get into negotiations did not go down well with tehran iran's president on monday lashed out at trump from posing sanctions on iran's head of state ayatollah khomeini you know i don't mean god. how kind of pious and lose their mind so badly. and do something so outrageous and

idiotic huge by sanctioning their leader of a country on time but one of the latest round of sanctions comes after iran shot down a u.s. drone over the gulf of oman the u.s. also blames terror on 1st string of attacks on all tankers in the area iran denies the accusations sanctions were 1st levity in august last year shortly after the u.s. or nato nuclear deal struck by the obama administration iran in may announce a partial withdrawal from the deal and said it would grow its stockpile of weapons grade uranium. at a un security council meeting on the spot for many when it voiced fears of the saber rattling could escalate into war. france germany and the united kingdom are greatly concerned by the increased tensions in the coffin that were further heightened to have to the downing of the u.s. drone by iran on the 20th of june these developments risk miscalculation and

conflict we called for deescalation and iraq with full respect for international routes but with both the u.s. and iran unwilling to back down such calls are likely to go on so. let's get you more now with simon maven he's a mideast analyst at lancaster university and he joins us now from the city of leeds in the u.k. a very good day to you sir at the u.s. here is using the carrot and stick approach with iran ramping up the pressure on the one hand and subsequently dialing it down and striking a more conciliatory tone what's the goal here. i think the goal is to is to curtail iranian influence across the middle east and to make sure that iran cannot achieve an uclear weapons program that's always been president trumps and the goal to ensure that iran is not stable to make a nuclear weapon but also increasingly to try and make sure that iran is not able to continue supporting groups like hezbollah the lebanese kautz you've gone and

also groups like the who peace was who fights in the conflict in yemen so it's 2 fold but fundamentally it's about curtailing iranian influence either through come bench you know approaches and nuclear weapons or through providing support for malicious but is that working i mean they're digging in there with their backs against the wall are they about to recapitulate. i don't think it is to be honest we know the economic sanctions are biting across iran we know that people are struggling we know that yesterday the u.s. president put sanctions on hamann i even though he said in a in a press conference that you've got them on khamenei the former supreme leader who's been dead 30 years but the iranian state is not going to go away in the face of a little bit of prussia it will fight back it will push back and it's got a lot of means to do so it's got a long proud reputation not proud reputation is not going to be cattails busy by by trump's antagonistic bombastic poses so it's an incredibly difficult incredibly

tense time right now in the gulf but also beyond in terms of international security and diplomatic overtures from from european states trying desperately to prevent this from escalating on that note russia has just weighed in as well saying the u.s. drone that was shot out of the sky by iran was flying in iranian air space what's the mindset of moscow where do they stand in this conflict i think moscow has a long long and strong relationship with with many into iran is a complicated relationship but it's one that sent george through through recent events in syria and before that as well so i think iran is russia's not sure i live here we know that the russian are in the united states and being engaged in a bit of a increasingly fractious rivalry does played out across the middle east and so it's moscow's thinks that this is another opportunity to try and stick it to the united

states to try ending increase its own implements its own leverage in the region through iran but also as a means of tailing u.s. influence analyst simon it may have been a firm lancaster university thank you for weighing in i want to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world. at least one person is dead and dozens more injured after a series of explosions tore through a mission's depot in southern kazakhstan officials have evacuated the nearby town of reason the country's turkistan region has extended defense ministry says a fire triggered the last. of them with malaysia has shut nearly 500 schools and cannot gardens in the southern state of jure until thursday after dozens of people were hospitalized with breathing difficulties and he had all symptoms suggest the victims inhaled toxic fumes to lhasa billy from industrial waste is the 2nd such incident to hit the country this year going to a gun about the 1st quarter to blast off to the international space station

following a launch accident last year have returned safely to earth of a failed launch back in october raise doubts over moscow space program russia is currently the only country to oversee manned launches to the i s s or in here in germany people living near the western city of darmstadt are breathing a sigh of relief after a likely world war 2 bomb exploded in a nearby field no injuries were reported but the blast tore a hole in the earth 10 meters wide and 4 meters deep it's believed the bomb had a chemical based the lead timer which finally it will get. now 2 balkan states north macedonia and albania are hoping to become the newest members of the european union where talks over their possible a session due later this year but north macedonians membership bid has stalled over a decades long dispute about the country's name member greece along fear that the

country of macedonia could claim a greek province of the same name but last year the 2 countries struck a deal they greet that the republic be named north macedonia paving the way for its membership of the e.u. and nato countries also stepped up its fight against crime and corruption something that the european union has praised all right and with me here in the studio is steve o. append a roski of president of north macedonia and mr president i'd like to extend a very warm welcome thank you for being with us here on news let's get straight to the core of the issue that of e.u. membership what kind of role does your country want to play in the european union 1st of all we would like to be in the european union i was just. so we are a small country we devoted to sources and certainly we can all be ones being can the european union we can all be the key stakeholders that bob would like to go

through that process of europeanization and there's a reason why we need the so-called external evaluator from brussels when to all of these 35 chapters in order to better the lives of all us citizens and to have most institutions that we have of the moment but there's been a stumbling block to say the least of course some e.u. member states that most notably france germany and the netherlands have said back off a little bit because we need some more time in october we'll let you know how do you expect them to give you the green light or to hold off talks on a session we expect 100 percent that we're going to be given the green light you know why because at the moment there's not any single government of the e.u. member states saying that north must when it doesn't deserve to start and to open these negotiations so that's 100 percent sure we've got assurances by our friends in the lead by germany we have a clear assurances by france and we have korea and so to say by hollande and then not feel the countries which have some kind of remarks last year when you look union got to that conclusion to have no muss and then you're going to be decided

next june of the deal with actions are closed so we are quite sure that september. will taken that decision and you know immediately after that in brussels all in members' days we'll vote for opening the negotiations because what i'm wondering though is like everything in life timing is everything the country's rich joined the bloc back in 20042007 they are at loggerheads some of them with the european commission to do with rule of law to do with not effectively fighting corruption is that making the challenge for north macedonia so much more difficult you know we would like to be the collateral damages of some eventual pas the best performance being in the european union if they not performed well the south of those countries what we are asking for from. if you look convenient for us judge us on individual merits you asked for this we deliberate lovejoy you have asked for a few of the many preconditions we should deliver including the famous and the

historic i was impressed by the i'm so pleased judge us on our individual achievements in the meantime so i can agree that some of the newcomers and european union in the pubs there kate has not performed quite well but that's up to these countries you cannot judge north must vania together with $510.00 other countries including our direct neighbors just judge us as a set on up individual achievements and that's all we are asking for misoprostol you feel that north macedonia is not getting a fair shake by the. us is that is the feeling among our people and we think that that should be amended somehow in the months to come because we have been promised the north must and will do any on the last e.u. summit in sofia as a clear sentence in the final communique from that summit saying that no less than you and all men are going to get that from the opening negotiations in june 2000 we are again postponed was good in all of that that that is only a technical postponement but believe me i have difficulties and many other people

around me big knowledge currently in power in skopje to explain to the come the people that it is really only a technical test on it. if you don't get the green wire october what with that mean for your government from atlanta going to undermining c.d.'s on the money of the twenty's up in forces or you know files are going to be put in the corner i'm not speaking of old who is going to be the winner of the next parliament elections i'm a devoted beginning of my term as the president of the company so i can put aside that political ambitions at least for a while but it's very important for the region as a whole is if you like finally brussels to send a positive signal to the whole division because of the what each country of the west will come to being for so long sidelined by europeans and getting a positive message that's a good positive message for the region as a whole so what we're waiting for is give us the chess to prove ourselves to do so very long and as thin as possible european ization we are not s.q. for the full fledged membership we asking for the factions to start that very long

process itself and that's not so much a thing as from europe it's in conclusion mr president now it just so happens that in october that date coincides with the united kingdom scheduling schedule is to leave the e.u. london has been of course an ally when it comes to a large amount of the european union how much has them leaving the block hurt your bid. we would like to see you staying huge opinion if you like if you ask me and the people around me and the old people in most of them because we know that the u.k. has been one of the most dynamic power behind the usual bit behind european integration but even leaving i think that we still have enough of you to files in brussels including the people from the complete political elite in germany so we still call them them and we know that donald an awful lot of the original best of both us i thank you so much for joining us steve president of north macedonia. and you're

watching you don't use or so i want to tell you about here's what's ahead. a tense and dramatic round of 16 match of the women's world cup sees the u.s. just get past pain but the reigning champion suddenly looks like they can be beat even after 4 straight wins. that story coming up in just a moment or 1st governments in europe are warning their citizens to take precautions as a record heat wave starts moving across the continent temperatures are exceeding our forecast rather to exceed 40 degrees celsius in several countries including germany spain and france. which. these were the. years you see. how i think that weather is much harder than what i expect because i felt

a new era of the weather maybe nicer than this is too hot for me actually it's really unpleasant but we're used to it unlike other people so we are not preparing specifically but you have to make sure you stay hydrated through the. winds from this to hire a turning up temperatures across europe in france authorities are warning people about the intense heat. also fitfully felt should drink limit physical activity or even keep the body where or to cover them well and protect them from the sun with paths will sunglasses and a long sleeve shirts yes. do not leave them in the car even for a very short time of which. it's important to remember this. the heat wave in france in 2003 years thought to have killed 15000 people this time the country is better prepared. other european countries are issuing warnings as

well germany is expecting record breaking high on wednesday and children the only ones at risk. for i'm given parts and it's also older people with preexisting health problems with their kidneys problems with hydration problems with their hearts and when there's a heat wave and they don't drink enough they get even bigger problems the more they can also get dizzy and fall into a drink drink drink you can contain can water internally or externally it's the bomb against europe's coming heat. and. are now so with the record a rising in europe what are we to make of this weather well let's ask a weatherman meteorologist alexander hildebrand from the german weather service

that's our dot com is with us alex good to see you and your spanish meteorologist has tweeted the following how is coming is it really going to be that dramatic well it feels like hell when you're outside when it's 40 degrees celsius and those are the temperatures we are expecting in large parts of europe in southern germany are they we will have $39.00 or $48.00 in on wednesday in france we're looking into temperatures are $4344.00 in southern areas already today and tomorrow and there are other countries sweating also for example eastern europe will have 3637 percent that's for sure and that is due to. heed to that is coming our way well let's talk about it because it's only aged. sure europe is already sizzling how normal is this fit in the pattern the weather pattern that you usually observe normally we would expect these kind of heat waves more in july and august and so it's very unusual that this is already or korea now at the end of june but the the weather pattern is

cost by a low pressure system west of spain and that is really pushing the heat into our direction and this is also connected to other global events that are building up now along as strong long stretches or certain stretches certain movements of air and the higher atmosphere about the above the atlantic so that is the reason why this he just coming to us the whole way what do these extreme temperatures that we're going through right now tell us about global warming are they related should we start getting prepared for more of these in the future unfortunately i must say yes this is this is already a sign of global warming if this continues june $2970.00 will be the hottest on record but although this is also true for other countries like in france or spain and this is a development we have seen in the last maybe 6 or 7 years the month of june has continuously getting warmer and warmer only by a few degrees but this is a trend that much has continued in the last decades and most probably will continue

if the global warming continues in the way the climate of models forecast what do you do to beat the heat. of course i try to stay indoors when it's around noon in the afternoons actually my office is also very cool which is nice but i try to avoid sports i do write my bikes through the city also when it's hot but i shouldn't and i feel really often very bad about afterwards so and i also try to get a good night's sleep which is difficult when the heat is so strong so i would advise everyone to keep the apartment as dark as possible during the day. so that there is some rest at nights because the nights will be have tropical temperatures in large parts of europe in the coming days and hydrate hydrate hydrate drink a lot of water meteorologist alexander hildebrandt from the german weather service that's our dot com thank you thank you. to the

women's world cup in france now where the favorite the united states just barely made it through to the quarterfinals with a somewhat controversial went over spain italy us seem to be cruising to a 4th straight easy way thanks to an early penalty but a mistake on defense led to a spectacular shot by spain's jenny her most so to tie the match late in the 2nd half a question of a penalty against a spanish side was upheld by the video referee and the u.s. took advantage to secure the victory 21 was the final score. yanni gets fired from d w sports is here with me to talk about the static much tougher side and match for the u.s. they breeze through the group stage but that was no easy game no that was much tougher as you just mentioned they scored 18 unanswered goals in the group stages but against spain they came up against a different base and they provided the u.s.

as rivals with a reason for hope they really found some chinks yama it was not a come from the moments at all defensive errors of course and not a comfortable when too many of their best players were off pace and i think that falls on the coach jill alice i don't think she provided a viable game plan for the us to win the match will get through spain and she didn't come up with a plan beta and then as we say here i had to rely on a fairly contentious penalty to get the win and that doesn't really scream world cup champions does it so i think again the coachella she has some some questions to answer she started an unfit player not explore going live in cali lloyd on the bench as well as others she didn't. act reactively to to to change the match when she could of so now they are up against their next match is off against france team france what do they need to change to really make a chance of winning that game yes a france is a is a different base again to spain they're easily

a better team than spain and i will punish the us if they don't shop an op i think as i mentioned needs to one pick the right person no but she also needs to be more reactive rather than passive friends will punish us and she will have to make substitutions of the right thom's when the us needs them but at the end of the day . it is the best team in the world it is and these players are the ones that will walk li change this match i think that they can almost play the game themselves that are good and we saw some fighting words from megan rapinoe rip a no off the match in his shoes let's have a listen to what she had to say that's broken up a little break right there you just you can't replicate it there's no way to express it or teach it there was a few of us out in the field of play like halfway through the 2nd hour like the level we need to go up a level not only here but just a tempo and i mean you're a little bit so that's a game how about they only get harder more intense in here our boys playing for their lives so i think that's the best part about honestly like i love that this is

the 1st date. so yeah megan rapinoe even though she didn't have the best she still schooled 2 goals and you see the confidence of these players they know they can do better and i think they'll lift their game against france if the team to beat her all these years now we had to knock out stay and knock out matches excuse me yesterday who else went to the choir i guess the other match was sweden against canada. also a very tough team very strong defensively but they also have the attackers to get the job done and we have some highlights here to show you as well and with the open no was scored with no one of a combination between cause of a slimy and struck patna stina blacks then you'll see and hear the goal here lovely pass from a slightly through to blacks and a beautiful finish and that's how finished was one nil the end sweden a well deserved win but i did have a scare late in the 2nd half a penalty awarded for handball but fortunately the keeper had a clean how managed untasted say and that's where sweden the stronger defense

really pulls a few of the top teams and problems they're coming up against germany next and i think germany will have to be at the top of their game to get through that defense through that defensive through that goalkeeper best lines in the tournament now there are still 2 round of 16 matches what's coming up tonight yes it's not we have it's lee who are a bit of surprise package i took the group which not many people expected them to and they're coming up against china who used to be one of the powerhouses of women's football and then the other match another interesting match up the netherlands who are looking very strong the defending your opinion champions and count them as one of the favorites for this tournament they're coming up against japan so too pretty and thrilling matches looking forward looking forward to the great want to pull ahead of us amazing amazing good stuff or you have to start from the use force greatly appreciate it's always. and staying with football your great have top group c. in the men's cup america after defeating chile one nil all of both sides created opportunities in the contest but it took until the 82nd minute to break through and

send their cover ne is scoring the winner with an expert lee place header both teams though progress to the quarter finals that your great will face peru while chile play colombia. the winter olympics is set to return to the italian alps the international olympic committee yesterday voted in favor of the twin venue's of milan and 14 of them that so to host the games in the year 2026 for the italian bid defeated in offering by sweden 47 votes to 34 a number of other countries pulled out of the running and citing the huge costs of putting on an olympics italy's bid is considered frugal with an operating budget about one and a half 1000000000 euros. you're watching it over news that we still have a lot more coming up in d. w. news asia the hong kong protests we look at the tactics activists are using to keep people turning out for the demonstrations. plus singapore sounds like the perfect
