finds bosco ntaganda guilty of crimes against humanity. and, massive layoffs and germany's deutsche bank. a radical restructuring and germany's largest lender. people were shown the door today. i'm brent goff. to our viewers in the united states and around the world, welcome. you and inspectors have verified what tehran had announced. iran has begun violating the 2015 nuclear deal. the iaea confirming that iran is not adhering to limits on its enrichment of uranium. the european union says it is concerned and has urged the country to reverse its course. tehran said it would do that,

but only if your keeps its promise to protect their economy from tough u.s. sanctions. the u.s. withdrew from the nuclear deal last year. today, mike pence reacted to the news that iran is in violation of that deal. >> iran should not confuse erican restraint with a lack of american resolve. we hope for the best, that the u.s. and our military are prepared to protect our interests and our personnel and citizens in the region. we will continue to oppose iran's influence. we will continue to bring pressure on their economy, and under president donald trump, america will never allow iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. brent: that was the u.s. vice president speaking earlier. i'm joined by simon maben.

it's good to see you again. we have heard what the u.s. vice president is saying. can you tell us, because we are not hearing it from the white house, what is the u.s. strategy. account is there -- - what is te u.u.s. strategyy? was the enend game? simon:simon: at dependnds on who you u ask inside thehe admiministrationon. that is the fufundamental probo. if you talk to the president or his key advisers, you have a different end game to other voices. when a trump and bolton have been belligerent toward iran. we know their end game is to suffocate the islamic republic, to put as much pressure on the iranian state as possible. in many ways, incongruent

messages coming out from different branches of the u.s. government that are more hopeful the europeans canan e excerpt me influence andd bring iran n baco the negogotiating tatable. i ththink there'e's a a great df confusion, and mamany different ideas of what the end game is. it all depends on the u.s.. -- it all depends on who you ask. brent: you have to complete different pictures when it comes to north korea. yet north korea, with nuclear weapons, being treated and legitimized by the u.s. president. iran, the total opposite. do you think iran is thinking that it, toooo, can become the next north korea? simon: perhaps. north korea has shown that by testing the e nuclea weapon, it has more influence on the world ststage and try to cicircumvente isolation it has experienenced n recentnt decadeses.

don't forget the iraranian cases difffferent. it is aa signatory of the e nucr coopereration treatyty, but it o rs a a great deal ofof influence across the regioion. that i is different toto north korea. iran has numererous cards to p y in this game. it is this regional influence that has been a serious cause for concern for many in washington. it is dramatically differentnt, but north korea has shown what getting hold of a nuclear weapon can do. i should stress that the iranian leadership has vehemently decided -- be denied that is what it is trying to achieve. brent: we know the french president is sending his top diplomat to iran to salvage the deal. we know that the iranians want the europeans to deliver something that many people say is not possible, that is, protect them from these u.s. sanctions. is it feasible for the iranians to demand that from europe

backup simonon: if we t think ep has p played such a kekey role n getting the e deal off thehe gr, european states were integral in makingt t happen. they were responsible for this diplomatic effort to bring iran to the u.s. -- in the u.s. to the table. -- and the u.s. to the table. i don't the get surprising that iran is putting pressure on europepe. whether europe can put it back togethther, i'm not convnvinced. i don't know if it will be a abe to exertrt pressure on the u.s.r to get russia and china, the other key y states, to play ball with iran. there arare far too many variables. europe certaininly has an important role to pl. i doubt it will be able to do everything that tehran wanted to do.

we shoululd not forget the other victims of other crimes committed by other war criminals in the congo that have yet to be brought to justice. the recent resurgence of violence in that area sharpens the need to addddress the gap tt exists. this means for the icc to have a clear strategy to address the outstanding accountability. on the other hand, for the congolese government to strengthen itsts effort to investigate and prosecute international crimes of the domestic level. brent: that was maria from human
