iran's nuclear deal but it remains unclear what more can be offered to change the course of a disillusioned leadership in tehran and the lessons lost to poverty tonight you'll meet 12 year old sarge need from pakistan a young fisherman and one of millions of children who go to work instead of school . i'm going to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome today italy made good on a promise to rein in migration it closed what was once europe's biggest reception center for migrants in mn a.o. in sicily the government's hardline interior minister matteo salvini was at the center today to watch as the doors were locked one final time he said the decision to shut down the center was all about saving money. a man who says he kept his
10:02 pm
promise interior minister in the teo salvini doesn't want migrants in italy. after his far right legal party came to power just over a year ago the government passed legislation to stop housing asylum seekers. salvini pledged to shut down them in a reception center in sicily once one of the largest migrant camps in europe. i'm pleased that we've released the country from this problem the land and houses here were worthless now it'll be a normal part of sicily of italy. the centers for 100 pink and orange houses were built as homes for u.s. military from a nearby base at the camp speak it housed 4000 people who had crossed the mediterranean in the hope of a better life. but protest is against the closure say the camp hope prepare
10:03 pm
residents for integration into europe also offering treatment for traumatised migrants. we are protesting because not because of the closure but because of them or that atheists or disclosure because they didn't take in account the needs of the most of all out of all they just transferred to some of the most vulnerable patients circuit that we have. we were curing to another place which is very similar to this camper which is not the street that border for that kind of needs most of the migrants housed at the mineta camp have been moved to what salvini calls smaller and more controlled centers while they wait for europe to find somewhere for them to live or to be sent back to where they came from well our correspondent i mean as it is in italy he was outside the gates of the been a migrant center as it was closed today we asked him why it's being shut down and
10:04 pm
we asked him what the interior minister salvini was doing there. on the one hand it had been underfunded for a long time and it was it became a place of criminality and there was drug busts and prostitution here now that wasn't everything though at one point at its height people could take classes in different topics so it was on the one hand a place of criminality but on the other hand it could have been an example of how refugee centers could have been run if you can see here the houses were built for american troops and there it was a place for american troops families until 2010 so it had a lot of resources so the activists say that. wanted to close it as a symbol to send to the public that he's taking a hardline stance against immigration has made it very clear that his primary goal at this point to stop immigration into italy and stopping the closing of ports at lampedusa is the primary way to do that he gave a decree a little over 3 weeks ago saying that n.-g. o.
10:05 pm
ships these are the private ships that go to north africa and pick up people who are trying by boat to get to italy they pick them up and take him to lampedusa which is the closest european port he said he wants to stop them and he just recently after 2 boats successfully made it into lampedusa defying his order he made he wants to make it even harder so the fine will now be a 1000000 euros instead of 50000 and he's even considering putting warships out there to physically block the boats from coming in. and that was g.w.'s i mean if reporting from that closed migrant camp on sicily here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world in nigeria's parliament has been on lockdown after clashes between police and shiite muslim protestors shots were fired but both police and the demonstrators blamed the shooting on each other minority shiite groups have regularly protested outside the assembly calling for the release of their leader who has been detained since 2015 china has demanded that the u.s.
10:06 pm
immediately cancel a proposed sale of more than $2000000000.00 worth of arms to taiwan the deal includes battle tanks and anti-aircraft missiles it would be the 1st big ticket u.s. military sales of the island in decades china considers taiwan to be part of its territory in northern spain at least one person is dead after floods swept through several towns overnight the downpours calls to local rivers to burst their banks the government in the barn province is warning people near the flood zone to stay home as heavy rains continue. germany france britain and the european union have called on iran to reverse its move to increase its uranium enrichment tehran announced yesterday that it is refining the nuclear material to a level banned by that 2015 nuclear deal the united states unilaterally withdrew from the agreement last year and european leaders are now scrambling trying to save
10:07 pm
the deal iran has been stepping up its uranium enrichment and the european union is worried we continue to archie trying not to take 5 dimensions that's undermining didn't care but without america keeping its side of the bargain iranians growing tired. we should have pulled out of the nuclear deal much sooner we should have accepted the deal in the 1st place it was obvious that america had no commitment and it was all a game the us and iran are indeed in a dangerous game a suspicious oil tank of fire in the gulf of oman here iran exhibiting a u.s. drone that shut down and a ship stopped in the mediterranean accused of violating u.s. sanctions on iran how did we get here last year trump pulled the u.s. out of the iran nuclear deal even though to iran was meeting its commitments new sanctions swifty followed. and i jump olten trumps national security advisor has
10:08 pm
long wanted regime change in iran and israel void by the trump administration support also wants to rein in iran's growing influence in the middle east. iran recently has been threatening israel's destruction it should remember that these planes can reach anywhere in the middle east including iran. the european union hopes to salvage the deal but iran's position looks increasingly precarious. are for more on this i'm joined by our e.u. correspondent teri schultz going to do you. so we know that france's president micron he sent in his top envoy to tehran today what is he hoping to achieve. well brant the goal here is really not in dispute nobody not the u.s. not europe not china or russia wants iran to get a nuclear weapon so that's not the problem here the issue is how do you restrain tehran and right now the europeans feel very much that the nuclear deal which they
10:09 pm
have stuck to which the u.s. has has withdrawn from is the best way to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon so that's what president mcclellan is trying to do he is trying to talk to iran into stopping its new initiatives to enrich more uranium they are still i'm told at a reversible level and the europeans would very much like to have tehran halted at this level to return to talks to try to deescalate the tension and to certainly stop iran from moving into even further and reassuring in their own about 4.5 percent right now whereas 20 percent would be the level at which they would actually be pursuing a nuclear weapon so there is time the europeans say but it's getting tight it's getting tight and what will happen if we continue to see iran violating the deal want you to listen to what the finnish foreign minister said today that of course you'll feel a little bit squeezed because we were the ones who were advocating for the deal
10:10 pm
because the nuclear deal then us we draw from the nuclear we do from the nuclear plant the it's a very difficult situation but of course if we get iran to behave we have somehow also tool to help them to make the trade not being a philosopher less so but now of course the latest news cycle so that they they are again stopped into producing nuclear materials about the limits so. the europeans are definitely not at that point yet i've just spoken with an e.u. diplomat who says they are not going down that road at this point and now the finnish foreign minister is speaking currently as the e.u. president so he's not speaking on behalf of only his country and you heard him mention that both the europeans need to fulfill their obligations as well as iran so he acknowledges that the european union has not lived up to its side of the deal in providing iran economic benefits from the deal and that's the reason why iran is
10:11 pm
so frustrated compounded by the united states putting so much pressure on european companies trying to do business in iran but again going back to the goal of not letting iran get a nuclear weapon i believe finnish foreign minister harvester also means that we cannot stand by if iran continues its current path of uranium enrichment the fridge president he's got this ongoing tehran. picked up the telephone or yesterday i should say to talk with the u.s. president donald trump about this standoff what came out of that phone conversation it well he also spoke with the iranian president over the weekend so you can see that mccrone is really taking a leading role here now is speaking with the u.s. what the e.u. would like of course and what the 3 britain france and germany would like is that the u.s. lay off its pressure on european companies trying to help iran improve its economy after the u.s. withdrew from the deal it also wanted to make all the other parties the deal which
10:12 pm
hasn't succeeded yet but no one can pretend that the deal is not very fragile and struggling so i would imagine the president of one asked president trump to stop the pressure on europe and to let diplomacy take some time to work now there is a meeting tomorrow of the international atomic energy agency of course to monitor which monitors iran's nuclear program that meeting is called in vienna for tomorrow afternoon called by the united states so we'll have to see what they say there. used teri schultz in brussels tonight terry thank you for testers in hong kong have valid to take to the streets again that despite the territory's leader declaring that controversial extradition bill dead protesters fear that the legislation which would allow extraditions to mainland china if you're there would erode hong kong's judicial independence hong kong's chief executive kerry lam she has offered some concessions but demonstrators want the legislation to be withdrawn completely and
10:13 pm
for good. a further step in the climb down by hong kong's chief executive until june carol-ann had vowed to press ahead with the legislation then she delayed indefinitely now this. but there are still lingering doubts about the government's sincerity or wariness whether the government will restart the process in a legislative council. so i reiterate here. there is no such plan the bill is that. the bill to allow the extradition of suspects in criminal cases to face prosecution in mainland china triggered a series of massive protests that began in march with hundreds of thousands taking to the streets and some serious clashes with police this rally was on sunday. for the protesters carry lands latest announcement is simply not enough they don't
10:14 pm
believe her statement that the bill is dead as a prominent activist told d.w. that's ridiculous like especially now the extradition bill is in the legislative program and that's the fact and a beer will still continue to exist in the poll graham until next year july so the threats will continue in the next trials months for the protest as more is at stake than the fate of this bill they say the probe aging city government is seeking to cut tail freedoms guaranteed under the treaty that saw the united kingdom return its colony to china in 1907 a pro-democracy movement has formed that sees very different groups in hong kong come together students lawyers and bankers united at least for now. in 2015 the united nations adopted its sustainable development goals it's meant to improve the lives of billions of people on the planet by the year 2030 well we are a 3rd of the way into that and a review has found that the world will most likely failed to meet its commitments
