this is d. w. news coming to you live from berlin on the break to iran threatens to breach the limits of its uranium stockpile that's as hostilities with washington intensify it's a move that could force european countries who support the 2015 nuclear deal to step out of their corners and pick a side also coming up the standoff in the mediterranean italy's interior minister threatens drastic action as a rescue ship carrying 42 migrants sails into italian waters after being told not to. and the elite 8 at the women's world cup of football in france the

quarterfinals tonight take off tonight in towns from 7 european countries plus the united states are gearing up for the run to the final to look ahead. and take stock of the tournament so far. hello i'm terry martin thanks for joining us iran says today is the day that its uranium enrichment levels could exceed a cap set by the 2015 nuclear accord it would be the 1st breach of the deal which is aimed at restricting tehran's nuclear ambitions in exchange for an easing of international sanctions this comes after the u.s. abandon the deal last year and impose new sanctions now iran says it sees knows no reason to comply unless britain france and germany step into hell. a

deal isn't a deal if only one side has to honor it that was the iranian ambassador his message to the un the 2015 nuclear deal also known as a j c p o a is all burden and no benefit. in practical terms it has become an agreement which is being respected only by one party it on has done a lot and much more than its fair share to preserve the nuclear the it on a lawn chair not shall not and you know. of the burdens anymore to preserve it is if you really. put the grievance also came with an ultimatum to the european signatories stand up to us aggression or along with us accept full responsibility for any possible consequences one potential consequence and iran with weapons grade enriched uranium with tehran recently quadrupling its

production of low enriched uranium european leaders worry that that's a possibility. iran's ultimatum comes amid rising tensions between tehran and the white house the u.s. accused iran of attacking 2 oil tankers which iran denies and downing a u.s. drone which iran says had invaded its airspace. u.s. president donald trump threaten to obliterate iran while claiming his ultimate goal is to renegotiate a nuclear deal tehran's response that door has closed. for more now we're joined here in the studio by our iran correspondent teresa trial for one year ago the u.s. pulled out of the iran nuclear deal now iran has started bumping up its nuclear stockpile it's at least reaching its uranium stockpile what message is iran's

sending with this move well as you said it's been a year that. withdrew from the nuclear deal and so far to iran is still complied with it even though it hasn't had any benefits from that but the sanctions imposed in the past year have really taken a toll on the country's economy and its people so to iran officials have now started calling it economic warfare and now they're trying to pressure the other countries that signed the deal to provide some sort of relief and make sure iran still gets some benefits and that hasn't worked so far so now to iran is no and so he's stepping across lines of the nuclear deal to make sure that changes and that's the nuclear deal that when it was signed back in 2015. celebrated there's a lot let's take a look. on july 14th 2015 the international community uttered a joint side of relief the signing of the nuclear deal with iran was the beginning

of a new chapter in relations with a country i think this is a sign of hope for the entire world and we all know that this is very much needed in this times is that we have reached an agreement that will make the middle east and the world a whole lot safer. and. it is a step away from the specter of conflict and towards the possibility of peace after almost a decade of negotiations iran agreed to get rid of 98 percent of its enriched uranium and to reduce the number of centrifuges in exchange for relief from international economic sanctions to deal established a new relationship based on transparency but by no means trust. but. this is a bilateral agreement. that if the other signatories comply we will make sure we do the same. in

january 26th in international sanctions on iran were lifted after the international atomic energy agency certify the country's compliance with the obligations established in the nuclear deal this time the sun had released came out of tehran the capital of an oil rich country driven to the brink by an almost total trade embargo in place since 2006 everything seemed to be going according to plan until donald trump came onto the stage he disliked the accord from the get go slamming the obama brokered deal was an important part of his campaign rhetoric once in power he followed through on his promise to pull out of the agreement we can not prevent an iranian nuclear bomb on the decaying and rotten structure of the current agreement. therefore i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal. since then the us has reintroduced all the previous nuclear related sanctions

against tehran along with other punitive measures as a tit for tat the iranian government announced that it will stop abiding by some of its commitments and requested that the remaining signatories ease restrictions on its banking and all sectors should that not happen by the july 7th deadline iran has promised to stop complying with other restrictions established by the crumbling landmark deal. search for a surrender is bumping up its uranium stockpiles it's already saying that it's going beyond the limits the word greed in the nuclear deal can we assume the iran is now working as fast as it can to develop nuclear weapons well that's the big question here for sure means it's getting closer to developing one because with him reaching uranium up to 20 percent and also storing bigger quantities of it inside the country the time it would need to build a nuclear weapon shrinks from more than a year to less than that of course but that being said like with enriching uranium

to 20 percent you can use that for research reactors for example but if you want to build a nuclear weapon it needs to be enriched to 90 percent so that's still a long way to go and by the way it's the way that iran says it doesn't even want to go foreign minister zarif has just reiterated that these like republic will never work towards having nuclear weapons because it's religion forbids the country to do so they're even exists and i thought were against that but that of course is something not all the countries in the region want to rely on. having killed the iran nuclear deal what is president trump's strategy in trying to stop iran from developing nuclear weapons well that's hard to tell because he keeps sending mixed messages to tehran like on the one side he's threatening them and the other hand he keeps offering to making a new deal and if making a new deal is really what he ones that he's just made a big because the latest round of sanctions target the supreme leader ali how many

which is the person who would have to approve fresh talks before they even start and they also target the foreign minister edge of a $34.00 he of course the big part of the new talks so the supreme leader has ruled out any new negotiations with the u.s. saying that only the threat of military force provides protection from american domination the people closer to a president rouhani government don't rule them out like completely but unlike the u.s. president who says they could take place without preconditions the iranians say no before we start fresh talks he would have to go back to the nuclear agreement and then be quote start talking from their trees and thank you so much you're inside. iran correspondent teresa trouble. in the united states the 1st 10 democratic presidential hopefuls have clashed in a televised debate there for a wider field of contenders and although they all share

a single aim of ousting president told trump of the 2020 u.s. election there's still a little sign that yet one standout contender to the use of xander from naaman was in miami for the official start of the democrats' race for the white house. to watch prachi in a bar in downtown miami organized by a network of women of color in florida many here told me they were interested and that's when you can paint but still needed to learn more about that candidates i expect to hear what their policies will be like to hear what how they're going to take us to the future and i hope to see women standing up and you know talking about women's protective right civil rights immigration and i need to learn more about them more centrist and right wing. candidates because i'm a progressive they may root for different candidates but there is one thing we all

agree on in these groups. who bought the democratic party here in miami say the year ending for a candidate who can be done but many voters in view as happy as 2 bullets you need so the stakes are high but the 1st debates which have the potential to shake out the democratic presidential field the most diverse field ever many contenders have been struggling to garner attention and raise money now they have a chance to take their message directly to a national primetime audience. and that was what they tried to do in the end is senator elizabeth warren was the only candidate on the 1st night to be pulling in double digits and set the tone for the party's progressive week where. i want to start this is i want to return government to the people and that means calling out the names of the monopolist and saying i have the courage to go after them other

contenders remain well cautious suggesting some plans to might go too far immigration policy was also one of the main topics would cool young cost would dominate and here the former mayor of san antonio proposed decriminalizing undocumented immigration as the audience in this bar seems to like i. throw what i can see really icons are always seems to be really impassioned about his life his home feeling about the immigration yes yes. the 1st debate is over on thursday the leading candidates will take the stage in miami. now to some other stories making headlines around the world today the united nations expert has said saudi crown prince muhammad bin so months should be targeted with sanctions when someone is suspected of having ordered the death of journalist from our household speak in the saudi consulate in istanbul last year

the un experts said sanctions should stay in place until there was proof that the prince was not responsible. defense ministers of the nato alliance are considering strengthening european air and missile defenses should russia fail to respect the term medium range nuclear forces treaty by august the us has said it will withdraw from the landmark 987 pact if russia does not destroy a new miso that breaches the terms of the treaty. and dutch police say they have seized 2 and a half tons of crystal meth in a raid in russia it's the largest hole of the drug in europe to date investigators found a stash worth hundreds of millions of euros behind a fake wall in a warehouse. a standoff is escalating between italy's foreign interior minister and the german n.g.o.s whose migrant rescue ship has illegally entered italian waters the ships carrying 42 migrants that it picked up off the

coast of libya 2 weeks ago italy's interior minister matteo salvini says he won't allow any of them to disembark he's threatened to seize the ship and arrest its captain. for weeks to see watch 3 had been circling the island of lampedusa. now with the migrants on board reportedly desperate and exhausted the captain decided enough was enough to boat entered italian waters on wednesday risking the wrath of the country's government. the entire house parties have just come onboard to sing ministry that's not on the side of the hamas nothing to sound. check and all are subsets of the cans in the halls and morning calls to crew. of knowledge they are waiting for from the instructions from necessary as i really hate them to take the rescue these off the ship but italy's interior minister is refusing to take any migrants tayo salvini built his reputation taking

a tough line on migration now he's threatened legal action against the ship's crew of the obvious you were warned you on board we will use all the means democratically allowed to block this blatant contempt of the law. is this complete disregard for law and order. i am not giving and will not give permission to anyone to disembark to anyone. no under a new law vessels that defy orders to keep out of italian waters could face hefty fines and potential seizure salvini insists responsibility for taking the migrants lies with germany where the sea watch nonprofit is headquartered for the netherlands because the ship is sailing under a dutch flag but so far no country has volunteered to take them in meaning it may be much longer before these people step foot on solid ground. you're watching

g.w. news still to come the explosion of a 2nd world war ball in the chairman field has got people asking could the extreme heat be to blame the for. both already is here in germany say a suspected right wing extremist has confessed to killing politician volatile luka he was shot at his home in the western city of costal earlier this month lugar was a senior regional politician and a member of chancellor under the merkel's party the city of. the 45 year old suspect identified as stefan and has been detained behind these walls for the last 10 days on tuesday he confessed to shooting file to look saying he acted alone but germany's chief federal prosecutor doubts this what he thought i always thought that this our investigations will focus on the possibility that there were supporters accessories helpers or other perpetrators.

and we will determine whether this crime was the work of a terrorist organization. or if the suspect is a member of a right wing terrorist group. did have contact to far right groups including one called combat 18 the armed wing of a band supremacy group blood and on or. he was convicted of numerous hate crimes but 10 years ago he disappeared from the authorities radar something that hasn't yet been explained in a parliamentary session earlier today the president of the bundestag pointed to the roots of such crimes mentioned friend hits and hatred and contempt xenophobia is the breeding ground for violence and killing as it was in the past and whoever cultivates this breeding ground is also guilty that's what people have to understand now. the killing of volatile it evokes the worst memories in post-war

germany a shot to the head at close range without anyone taking responsibility is a reminder of the serial killing of 10 victims most of them immigrants between 2002007 those killings were committed by the n.s.a. you the national socialist underground did fall to do is kill or have contact with this group stefan and name did come up during the investigation of those cases he was considered a violent neo nazi. maybe we have to rewrite the history of the national socialist underground. in fact the motive for the shooting death of could date back to 2015 when large groups of refugees were arriving in germany during a local event to discuss a planned refugee shelter look at who backed chancellor merkel's refugee policy had said germans who couldn't accept the presence of refugees could leave germany if they wished stefan and says it was this statement that spurred him to kill vall to

look good. well if you happen to live in europe you know we're in the middle of a heat wave here and it seems that that heat wave could be having an unexpected and potentially hazardous side effect setting off unexploded bombs during the 2nd world war the allies dropped millions of bombs over germany estimates suggest that 100000 of them failed to explode many undiscovered still with live fuses for. after the discovery of a mysterious crater in a western german field it quickly emerged that a world war 2 bomb exploded spontaneously many are wondering if it was due to the scorching summer weather. time and again in germany unexploded aerial bombs are still being found. usually they're detonated in controlled explosions at special sites like this one in berlin specialists don't rule out the possibility that heat

can trigger the explosion but they say it's unlikely. that. temperatures play a role but even so the release mechanism spring retains its force for a very long time for more than 70 years at some point due to the nature of the material the plates retention forced to creases than the spring releases and the bomb explodes it's not necessarily dependent on temperature the bombs can lie there undisturbed and still detonate at some point. or didn't get on one. forest fires increased the risk of explosion in the district of what was west experts think a munitions are still left over from training exercises by occupying our lots. to determine exactly where the allies trained and where left over munitions may possibly still be in the ground we don't know exactly where or when the soldiers completed training exercises or what munitions they used. in brandenburg the area

surrounding berlin fire services extinguished blazes from the air for fear of possible explosions this area was used for decades as a military training area in former east germany perils from the past still lurk in the ground and the blistering temperatures are increasing the danger they pose. and the danger go away any time soon temperatures in europe are expected to rise before the weekend to above 40 degrees celsius in some places wednesday saw a record breaking temperatures hit germany's capital berlin. went out into the city to find out how people are keeping cool. i will keep checking balance temperature throughout the day to find out how my fellow berlin us i handling the heat and closely observe if the german capital can top the record. 38.5 degrees says yes that was the hottest june temperature ever recorded in

germany until today if this doesn't sound hot to you it does to people here most of us don't have air conditioning at home this is your hallway prepared i you know i'm taking my family to the pool and we'll be staying there the whole day. best not to work or strain too much stay in the shade. and it's getting hotter by the minute i am and the hot off balance government district. i don't know what i'm going to america behind me in this building to cool down but the tourists have certainly found ways to enjoy the heat. do you have any sort of ways to cope with the heat yet we we have 50 sunscreen all over extra 50 in the back and then we try to stay as much as possible in the shadow. so where do you come from we come from ukraine are you surprised by this weather here in germany at

the moment i didn't know that it is 36 degrees like today 36 degrees you might call it hot but it's true not breaking the temperature records many seem to share my favorite way of cooling down though. so what about that record i am not calling it a day yet. i have found a place in berlin that has definitely top the heat for this get back in there was standing it actually feels more like 50 degrees but when is when it's this hot to people really common by kebabs yeah yeah many people bike kababs make things better i don't know how he does it just thinking about eating it makes me sweat and no wonder really considering this has been the hard to stay off the island so far.

you're watching d.w. news well after a well earned day off the women's world cup gets underway again tonight with the 1st quarter final match up between norway and england joining me in studio to give us the lowdown is he's got expat from d.w. sports saying injury so before we look ahead at what awaits. you were in france last week tell us about the tournaments so far on the field yes on the pitch the quality has been quite impressive it's also been very difficult there are in those 24 teams many of them playing in the 1st world cup and many teams that lack the funding or the support from the federations to compete with the top teams but among those top teams the quality has been fantastic some amazing football the round of 16 matches showed that in particular great goals great feats of athleticism and skill and it's only going to get better but the elephant in the room in terms of on the pitch is of course the video assistant referee all. and it's been a disaster pure and simple it's the. decisions mostly correct however the

implementation has been a bit chaotic it is based on pitches of 23 sometimes up to 5 minutes and that's just not good enough in professional football and in my view vi the need to be scrapped or needs to be pulled back heavily reviewed and rethought so on the field the video assistant referee has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons how about off the field have been all rosy there yes so as he said i was in grenoble and nice last wait to see a couple of matches and the atmosphere has been great there's been some some great color from particularly the u.s. fans the hosts france the french fans have been fantastic and the dutch as well have really grown into the tournament and there has been talk of hot field stadiums and that is true some of the games haven't been as well attended as hopes particularly nace has really let the country down i feel less than 50 percent capacity in this state. but it is getting that off the deed do have some questions

to answer in terms of how they marketed the tournament and they really should have worked hard to fill those stadiums but across the board there's been about 72 percent capacity filled and cities like are noble and this intense have really packed out this idea in the average of 34000 in paris and overall it's made great i think great the tenor tournament and the view ship figures on t.v. 10000000 views per average in france and 22000000 in brazil it's been a very big success it's getting a lot of attention i think many people are really happy about that the quarter finals kickoff tonight of course what we have to look forward to over the next 3 days yes so 1st up we have england versus norway that's the 1st picture that will see to not talk about a bit later and then we're seeing france versus the usa which is probably the big heavyweight clash of these quarterfinals and then italy netherlands that's the underdog is leave surprise everyone against netherlands the european champions and

then we'll have germany against sweden and germany are probably from a look in the strongest of these teams thank you so much yet expect from d.w. sports. and you are watching news coming up next we've got the hot as pows and lots of business news for you i'm terry martin i'll be back at the top of the next hour thanks for being with us.
