8:02 pm
recent attack on a saudi oil facility and accuse the iranian leadership of stoking unrest across the middle east trump also took aim at iran's nuclear program and warned economic sanctions would remain in place until tehran changed what he called its menacing behavior here's more now of president all trumps address not only is iran the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism but iran's leaders are fueling the tragic wars in both syria and yemen. at the same time the regime is squandering the nation's wealth and future in a fanatical quest for nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them. we must never allow this to happen president addressing the u.n. general assembly and world leaders have been conducting some informal diplomacy on
8:03 pm
the sidelines of the general assembly just a short while ago germans as the ugly american spoke with president trump to address those rising tensions with iran and for more we're now joined in the studio by my colleague political correspondent thomas sparrow and in a new york standing by for your use alexander von naaman i want to take a 1st to where alexandra in new york iran evidently a very big issue germany's chancellor angela merkel has met up with president trump and then she met with iran's president hassan rouhani behind closed doors is there a diplomatic initiative underway. well the german government is certainly trying to seize an opportunity here apparently believing that there is a chance for diplomacy right now and certainly seeing that we are at the crossroads and that moment and that the situation the conflict with iran can ask
8:04 pm
the late very clique the therefore the german government is engaging in talks with the side as well as the french government we have to understand that after the attacks on crucial oil facilities on saudi territory the you as threatened retaliation but so far president trump has shown restraint and i believe that the europeans understand that this is a crucial moment right now and therefore they are engaging in those talks right a crucial moment indeed thomas do we know what came out of that meeting with president hassan rouhani and american spoke to the press very briefly after those meetings and she said she would welcome a meeting between the u.s. and iran but at the same time she said she didn't think it would be realistic for iran to expect sanctions to believed it before such a meeting takes place but i would say the key goal behind those conversations i'm
8:05 pm
going to medical held in new york is to try to have some sort of diplomatic initiative that germany could work on not on its own or maybe with france for example to try and make sure these 2 players do come to the table and try and find some sort of compromise but that again is easier said than done and we've had very different views on what outcome could be achieved from a german perspective it is absolutely clear they want a diplomatic solution to all of this but she's nanjing expectations that the same time as other want to go to you in new york obviously the european leaders are keen to get some form of diplomatic resolution to the rising tensions but at the same time european. rader's lectures on the american like french president michael have condemned trump's hardline approach to iran but have also signed it with president trump by accusing iran of being behind the attacks on a saudi oil facility what does that mean i
8:06 pm
think that this is a part of the strategy to signal to the government that we are we want to support here on this issue with regards to the attacks on saudi territory and with regard to iran's responsibility speak for those attacks but at the same time we insist that there must be a diplomatic solution and i could imagine that at the moment president's trump is willing to listen to the europeans because he is reluctant to listen to the hawks in his administration so far he has not decided to to agree to any military strike against iran because he promised his voters he is going to and america's endless wars he is in the middle of an reelection campaign and therefore he understands that what he doesn't need at all right now is ask elation of and confit of the
8:07 pm
conflict with iran now alexandra as thomas here in the studio has been reporting chancellor angela merkel has said that she will the she doesn't expect actually that a one on one meeting between the iranian president and the u.s. president is likely to take place however french president and general michael where you are is still pushing for a meeting between trump and rouhani how likely is it. well i don't think that it can happen here because president trump said on them a number of occasions that he would preferred not to meet their iranian president here on the sidelines of the u.n. and general assembly and he also stressed that you as doesn't need any media doesn't need to hold off the french government however he also said that he doesn't like to rule out anything so we have to see what happens but at the moment it
8:08 pm
doesn't seem that it's likely that both leaders are going to meet here in new york today because when i was on a phenomenal reporting for the united nations there with me in the studio our political correspondent thomas there thank you both. and we turn our attention now to the british supreme court which in a has story judgment has ruled that prime minister boris johnson's move to suspend parliament was unlawful all 11 supreme court judges agreed the so-called purgation kept parliament from doing its job judges piled into the courtroom to deliver their highly anticipated ruling their verdict unanimous a stunning rebuke to the prime minister the court is bound to conclude that. the decision to advise a magistrate to perreault parliament was unlawful. because it had the effect of
8:09 pm
frustrating or preventing the ability of parliament to carry out its constitutional functions without reasonable justification the effect on the fundamentals of our democracy was extreme no justification for taking action with such an extreme effect has been put before the court. that sort said the government suspension order was no one void and said parliament should resume business immediately. common speaker john bacco confirmed m.p.'s would sit again starting wednesday. news of the ruling reached prime minister boris johnson in new york where he's been attending the u.n. climate summit obviously this is a budget that we will respect and respect the judicial process i have to say i strongly disagree with what the justices have problems i don't think. it's right but we will go ahead. come back. while the ruling doesn't affect
8:10 pm
bragg's it directly it does mean parliament won't have to wait until mid october to have its say in the process the decision like drags it has divided the public but these protesters welcome to the judges' decision i. have a great day for democracy a great victory for british democracy it's good to see the courts reaffirming the rights of the electorate sisters and eyes through its elected representatives what the government's doing albright's of opposition labor lawmakers whose own divisions over bragg's that have been on display at their annual party conference have been stepping up calls for johnson to resign. the prime minister's next move may be anyone's guess but to return to london to face growing pressure over his brags that strategy and his leadership. what i have to say now is some of the other stories making news around the world. a powerful earthquake has struck eastern pakistan killing at least 19 people and injuring hundreds more than 5.2 magnitude tremor hit
8:11 pm
near the city of new york or in pakistan administered kashmir is full extent of the down there just isn't clear. 8 newborn babies have been killed after a fire ripped through the maternity unit at a hospital in wet souls in eastern algeria state media says the prime minister has ordered an investigation into the cause of the blaze. they use top court has ruled that google is not the choir to apply the use of right to be forgotten ruled to search results outside of europe well google had argued that authoritarian governments could otherwise try to cover up human rights abuses if the e.u. regulation was applied worldwide. the tragedy of iranian female fan sorry code ari ari stunned the football world
8:12 pm
this month she died after setting fire to herself in protest of being banned from attending men's football matches just like other iranian women a pressure on the iranian government looks to have paid off and women will now be allowed in for a national team match next month although activists say only $1400.00 tickets are available for women in a stadium that seats 100000. the shopping center might seem like a strange place for football fans to share that passion for the game the training room and it's as close as they are going to get to a stadium atmosphere. was women are welcome here unlike in stadiums for knife men's games. high energy excitement and the sorrow it's all collective and watching like this is more exciting than i can imagine the football together was amazing and there was no
8:13 pm
problem no one said anything to anyone and nothing out of the ordinary happened. at the stadium band 4 women came with the reigning revolution of 1979 and some would like to keep it that way at my side i see it young people have other problems whether they're men or women in fact i think these issues are not even worth discussing for the time being i'm off it missed them i think i do not agree because it has very negative aspects and i think. stadiums are not proper places for women to go to that is off band ending the 40 year old band is back on the agenda largely because of the case of soha the also known as the blue girl she died after protesting the band by setting herself on fire now breakthrough could be inside the iranian government has made some concessions for the next world cup qualifier in october. well coming game is they've come podia and women will be present their
8:14 pm
presence will increase step by step. i thought possible world governing body p. 5 has repeatedly asked for change and made kiya women have to be allowed into football stadiums in iran we cannot wait any more we have been assured that as of the next international game of iran which is to be played on the tense of older women will be allowed. to enter football stadiums this is something very important 'd since 14 years that this was not happening with a couple of exceptions. that football is waiting with bated breath irangate previous assurances to feel about lifting the ban but nothing changed this time he's different that means images like these stadiums with only men inside could become a thing of the past in iran. i. imagine are the top story that we're tracking
8:15 pm
