the decision of the us administration to withdraw from the deal that diminishes confidence in the international order what we want to be somewhat a base line between what americans tell them it's a stick so much in keeping these opinions and we want to have economic relations with iran we've been doing already i think in the end you know to make sure that the next year's event is for so yeah trump has lost the battle no one followed. it's decision and now we have to make good on fulfilling our obligations to. america abandon the hard won deal with iran last month that agreement curbed iran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions it was signed by france germany and britain as well the head of political science at cairo's helwan university believes those three will not break under u.s. israeli pressure within you who is. playing a show. in the european partners with the european partners to
8:08 am
abandon the deal but i am in doubt that he can be successful in this endeavor his european counterparts meanly. germany friends in the u.k. have expressed their. clear political position that they are not abandoning it i believe that the national interests of those three countries that they want to secure strategic relations with iran and they are not sacrificing it for this week of the u.s. . next an iraqi court has sentenced a french woman to life in prison for joining the islamic state terror group escaping the death penalty lindh our dear was captured last year in mosul and sentenced to seven months in prison for entering the country illegally at the end

8:10 am
outside world but also while they're incarcerated this is a flaw it's europe's largest prison and amongst the thousands of inmates being held here some unknown joe hardest see. ya every day in france prison guards are attacked we have been off the next one thousand one hundred supervisors over the next four years but for now we don't see anything happening we're tired of this you are the first t.v. channel i'm telling this to but yesterday we had a suicide and since january we've had ten other cases exhaustion among staff and concerns for their own welfare spilled over into protests.
8:11 am
still the calls for help going on onstott and now prisons like this could soon be and locking their doors to let those radicalized inmates back into society zones said this prison is the largest in europe there are four thousand three hundred inmates it's overcrowded and we don't have enough staff we have more than one hundred twenty radicalized inmates here so you can imagine are difficult it is for a prison supervised to handle this the forty alleged radicalized. mates who will soon get out of jail will likely find themselves on a counterterrorism watch list and listed already one into the tens of thousands four thousand of whom are considered dangerous tragically even those on the watch list often slip through the fingers of security services.
8:12 am
the french authorities say they have to do more to properly monitor for me inmates and with france having suffered so much suit terror attacks in recent years many would argue it's about time they did charlotte even ski r.t. paris. and italy the newly formed euro skeptic government has sent a tough message for illegal immigrants coming to the country the new interior minister matteo salvini also described by many as italy's answer to donald trump says it's time to pack your bags and barely get out if there is really a freak out enough. for you and. i think he's going to.
8:13 am
be speaking there in the sicilian port of qatar near where he promised to reduce the number of newcomers he also pledged to get to work on the decor taishan of illegal migrants policy that's led to division within it. i think the soviets rights i hope he stops these illegal migrant arrival ones what can they do here they are people without a house they have nothing severe so very should not be in the italian government today each country is composed of diverse ethnic groups and diverse people you can't completely close immigrant traffic. aopa i think it's ok to take a break he has to set rules migrants can't come in discriminately they will create many problems in italy there are many problems already for example there is a lot of poverty and there is not enough jobs promised but i'm sure that so many will not be able to stop migration he will not have the parliament's support italy's been a main point of entry to europe from north african migrants and refugees more than six hundred thousand to arrive since twenty fourteen recent polls suggest that
8:14 am
fifty eight percent of italians are afraid of immigration the director of the italian institute for international political studies has been speaking about this at length to all teams want a part ninety percent of the migrants need only comes from libya. was it important trading partner is a source of italy which is important as you know you can buy all units on the web are but gas needs pipe and the pipe from libya to it to italy and it's a source of problems for migration. so of course who are affected and we played in this as relevant role after the hour. and could discuss or worse on why took the good and we could discuss for minutes on why e-coli had to follow. i'm not saying having said that that get duffy's walls and head to the heel he was
8:15 am
a dictator but as you know we have been used to leave along with the day to see maybe other countries. this is our after the break we'll look into accusations that donald trump is giving away power to his political allies. we have the privilege of being the most allied of the united states. send to and many other alliances promoted by the west united states in particular even members and we also have the privilege of being the most sanctioned. of that to any group of countries so while it sounds contradictory it is going to be and the box done this shows that pakistan will do what is in its
8:16 am
national interest it will know it's just school building real. politicians to do something. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. i want to. get you going to be for us this is what we look for three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters and. hello again some truly horrific scenes from latin america the past twenty four i was a violent volcanic eruption has killed at least twenty five people in quantum all in central america hundreds of others are injured and many are reported missing the worst eruption in more than
8:17 am
a century and sent rocks black smoke and ash ten kilometers into the witnesses say fast moving flood was swamped entire villages victims in their homes it's the second time this year that the of all kind which means the volcano of fire as erupted. donald trump attorney and former new york mayor rudy giuliani has caused a stir by claiming that the u.s. president cannot be indicted he said that even if he shot his ex f.b.i. chief james komi congress needs to impeach trump before taking legal action against him but in the same interview he said that the president is unlikely to ever exercise his executive privilege do you in the present attorneys believe the president has the power to pardon himself. he's not but he probably does the mayor has no intention of pardoning himself but he probably doesn't care or those comments came after the u.s. president pardoned a filmmaker who he thought was unfairly prosecuted by the previous administration to move cause discontent across the american media and the country's politicians
8:18 am
kellam open picks up a story. donald trump is once again drawing outrage from the democrats this time for pardoning right wing political commentator dinesh d'souza now d'souza pled guilty in two thousand and fourteen to making illegal campaign contributions trump is being blasted now from some quarters because they allege that essentially he's letting a political ally off the hook president from seemingly passing out pardons to heroes of the far right almost as eagerly as oprah once gifted pontiacs to suburban moms there are questions about his judgment and intent the president reminding people my daddy can pardon you on this power and i'm going to. but if you look over the history of presidential pardons and sentence commutations they've always kind of been handed out this way back in april donald trump gave a full pardon to scooter libby a former member of the bush administration scooter libby had been involved in
8:19 am
outing the identity of a cia agent and then obstructing justice in order to cover it up george w. bush had already communities sentenced back in two thousand and seven the scooter libby decision was a sort of fair and balanced says don't forget about the biggest case of tax evasion in all of us history marc rich was convicted of defrauding the u.s. government of roughly forty eight million dollars rich was going to face three hundred years in prison until bill clinton stepped in to give him a second chance now it also happens that marc rich was a big contributor and supporter of bill clinton's presidential campaigns marc rich was on the f.b.i.'s ten most wanted list bill clinton on his last day in office pardons him a lot of people were shocked and surprised including his political allies even after marc rich died money from his estate continued flowing into hillary clinton's foundation and then there was an investigation that determined there was no foul play between marc rich and the clintons richard nixon stepped down after it was
8:20 am
revealed that he had spied on his political. ponens and then obstructed justice in an attempt to cover it up now gerald ford who were placed in the oval office decided to let bygones be bygones he said it was an act of mercy all right your are for. the president of the united states granted and by these presidents to grant a fool free and absolute pardon under richard nixon the first presidential pardon in u.s. history was handed down by george washington the leaders of a rebellion that had taken place at the time the man dubbed the father of america hoped that this act of forgiveness would help bring a new country together but roll on two hundred years and it seems that presidential pardons and sentence commutations are little last about honor and healing and a little more about you scratch my back and i'll scratch yours over centuries now there's been a process of volved where you have something called the office of the pardon
8:21 am
attorney people meticulously review the cases and decide which one should make it to the president's desk dinesh d'souza he was railroaded under the obama administration he was aggressively prosecuted for an offense that is generally not prosecuted to the level this one was and his life was virtually ruined root in this country we have a crisis because the mainstream media the corporate owned media refuses to accept the idea that donald trump is a legitimate president united states entitle to wield the legitimate powers that every united states president has we all the while in office that's their core problem until they get over that they're going to be writing a lot of fake this is. how it's ten days and counting until football's biggest event kicks off in russia we've been catching up with brazilian double world cup when it comes to he's been giving us some insight into how his former team might perform on this year's tournament. well expectations are really high not only concern in the world cup in russia but also concerning the world cup in general
8:22 am
especially regarding the brazilian team pressure is high you are fighting for a world cup with the brazilian team there are more than two hundred twenty million brazilians that hundred and twenty million football coaches two hundred and twenty million football fans so there is additional pressure on players to have a great world cup when we come to the world cup we come to when no one plays at the world cup just to say that it's late we come to ween of course sometimes it doesn't happen the way you wanted to but you can be sure that the won't be and the lack of commitment and brazil is going to have a great world cup just before we sign off let me tell you the team outing is fired up and ready to go to bring you special coverage throughout russian's first ever fifa world cup.
