sooner than expected donald trump is promising he'll now announce his decision on the iran nuclear deal tomorrow days earlier than was planned it comes just as britain's foreign secretary is in washington attempts to save the equipment. but in a putin's officially sworn in this russian president to waste no time making key cabinet decisions for his fourth term also to come. forward to me. is on the one tries something to be killed on these interpreters who worked with
10:21 pm
the british army in afghanistan face deportation from the u.k. even though they were promised by luck of. the doubt here in moscow thanks for joining us watching r.t. international first this hour news just in from the russian defense ministry it says a russian military helicopter has crashed in eastern syria during a routine mission both of the pilots were killed in the incident and their bodies have been retrieved from the site the ministry says that preliminary information suggests technical malfunction as the reason for the crash. donald trump's decision on the iran nuclear deal is set to be announced earlier than expected the u.s. president has tweeted that he will reveal all at two pm tomorrow washington time now the sudden declaration comes on the same day that the british foreign secretary
10:22 pm
been in the u.s. capitol trying to persuade the president's team to stick with the deal or stance and didn't get a chance to speak to the president himself so decided to do what he thought the next best thing go via television with his thoughts stance and gave an interview to fox and friends that's been branded by the media as been done in terms favorite show. the president has been right to call attention to it but you couldn't do that without just throwing the baby out with the bath water without scrapping the whole thing because if you do that you have to answer the question what next well the possibility of trump pulling out of the iran deal has sent the entire international community into a frenzy at the foreign secretaries first stop in d.c. with fox and friends he decided to deliver his message via trump's favorite t.v. show boris johnson has already met with secretary pompei and he even tweeted quote honored to be the first foreign minister to visit secretary pompei in washington he's not the first european official that's tried to warn the us against leaving
10:23 pm
the deal president mccrone and chancellor merkel even visited washington d.c. to discuss the matter but they were unable to convince trump otherwise he isn't them and we believe it's better to have this agreement even if it's not perfect and have no agreement. the iran the you know it is not sufficient to see that iran's ambitions are curbed and contained it is most important to recognize is that iran through its ballistic missile program is trying to exert geo political influence in syria and lebanon. the solid last verifiable agreed that guarantees that iran will not nuclear weapons to denounce it without proposing anything else would be a serious mistake not respecting it would be irresponsible. and we should acknowledge that the current agreement doesn't allow us to address more of the issues among the things not covered by the iran you know the deal is
10:24 pm
iran's activity in the region of the us is divided along partisan lines and it's mostly democrats who want to uphold what's widely regarded as obama's only foreign policy achievement according to many pundits on t.v. here but believe it or not the republican chair of the house armed services committee advised against leaving the deal. check out what he had to say i'm not necessarily opposed to sticking with this new york forever but you need to have a clearer idea of about next steps if we are going to pull out so it looks like there's both a domestic and international effort to convince trump against killing the deal trump will be and now seeing his decision at two pm from the white house tomorrow so we'll just have to wait and see what happens with your house and early sees a connection between trump's rush to announce his decision and the growing strength of the iranian backed group has been law when a majority in the lebanese parliamentary election last sunday the timing of terms tweeze is very interesting because he made this tweet almost immediately after this
10:25 pm
it has some sort of finished his speech about the lebanese elections this deal was going to die i was there in favor of it and with the deal dead this going to be a lot more warmongering you'll have accusations w m d's like we had in two thousand and two two thousand and three in the run up to iraq and other ill advised war in the region they will attempt to do iran it's not like iraq or afghanistan iran is something else it's a different equation and so it would be stupid to start another war. but putin has been officially sworn in as russian president almost two months after he won the election.
10:26 pm
it's been six years since the last such ceremony and that can be seen in the number of small phones in the audience people trying to capture the event for imports from the kremlin on what else was different this time. lattimer putin who is known to be sometimes fashionably sometimes not so fashionably late well this time he was right on time with work like a swiss clock i should say and really this ceremony had a very fresh spirit compared to the previous ones for instance the city center of moscow was not blocked off for traffic but instead lattimer putin got a call in his office and then we saw him walk all the way to the east and to this palace now he also rode for briefly with his motorcade and for the first time
10:27 pm
apparently he preferred to his usual mercedes benz limousine a new one russian made cortege which literally translates as a motorcade it is a new vehicle designed specifically for the russian president it is in its main feature is how well protected it is it is rumored that it can basically withstand being hit by mortar rounds so this is what we know so apparently it was probably the first time that he actually rode that vehicle now he got in here he walked through these magnificent kremlin walls kremlin palace walls said an old and then he delivered a speech and basically the first thing that we gathered from that speech is that he does not expect this presidency to be easy and we have to keep up with the global changes to create an agenda of groundbreaking development so that no obstacles to circumstances could prevent us from determining our future by ourselves realizing
10:28 pm
our most ambitious plan as we dreams so. well also vladimir putin made a very big emphasis on his on the responsibility he says he's feeling in front of all the people of russia he focused much more on the internal the domestic policies of russia on the domestic affairs in his speech rather than on foreign policy. for instance he tried his speech to try to be very unifying you tried you made of visual a very vivid effort of trying to unite the nation in these in these times. we need breakthroughs in all spheres of life i strongly believe that only a free modern society that is ready for change and innovation that rejects injustice extreme conservatism and excess bureaucracy only such a society can achieve this kind of progress i believe that the main basis for the development of our country is the unity of the free responsible civil society and
10:29 pm
a democratic government. after delivering that speech vladimir putin was pretty much on his way and the russian government has already disbanded itself it has already you with design which is a normal of course procedure in this situation so the next thing the next big sensations that we could expect is from vladimir putin's new appointments as to who's going to go in to be the prime minister of cause this is the main intrigued as to the key positions the key ministerial positions also many of them remain remain uncertain so this is definitely something to look forward to now to the settlement of the president immediately got to work and signed a decree that outlined a plan for the country's next six years under his administration he also announced the incumbent prime minister and former president dmitri medvedev as his pick for the leading position in the new government. dmitri medvedev in britain tried to
10:30 pm
make putin's long time last sidekick russia's prime minister since twenty one and arguably the most tech savvy official in russia. he's also a big fan of rocky's live. live. like a little bit live let's. listen. is a quick sign of how we got to be in this country second to mom in. law teacher and legal consultant to the matter simply to the one thousand nine hundred seventy and says the end is an election she repeats it's campaign season winds and yet that it becomes the chief of staff a couple of years later i see thousand employees.
