5:18 pm
passed i was. pressure is mounting on europe to save the iranian nuclear deal as leaders get down to talks as a summit in romania french president stressed it would be washington to blame for terrans decision to leave the treaty even though he believes that hard for twenty fifteen agreement need surgery. if you did from the very beginning france has been committed to the deal that was negotiated and signed the deal is no sufficient we would like to take into account iran's missile activities e.u. has released a statement saying that it strongly urge is iran to continue to implement its commitments as it has done until now it also says it rejects any ultimatums from tehran and says that it will assess iran's compliance with the deal what's going to
5:19 pm
and has already imposed fresh sanctions on tehran to trump reiterated his need for a fresh deal a fair deal as he called it and his secretary of state might prompt a oh said that it's in iran that violating international norms the iranian regime's announcement that it intends to expand its nuclear program is in defiance of international norms and a blatant attempt to hold the world hostage its threat to renew nucular work that could shorten the time to develop a nuclear weapon on the schools the continuing challenge the iranian regime poses to peace and security worldwide well that was pomp ayers response to terrans and yesterday that it too would withdraw from certain parts of the iranian nuclear deal saying that e.u. china and russia had sixty days to protect iran's oil and banking sector from u.s.
5:20 pm
sanctions all this threatens to rival what really was an agreement a diplomatic agreement of historic proportions and twenty fifteen the obama administration the e.u. russia china and iran finally signed this historic deal that had taken years of negotiation but it led to iran holding its nuclear weapons production in exchange for the easing of sanctions i hear very the trumpet ministration pulled out of the deal to the mantra over the pa. see it has been of much pressure on iran and the europeans have been trying to mitigate this situation throughout the past year and although the u.s. is sort of thrown in the towel the americans on just punishing iran with the economic sanctions they are doing what so called these secondary sanctions that means they're threatening to target any foreign companies that deal with to iran and guess which side many multinationals are choosing europe tried all sorts of
5:21 pm
complicated mechanisms to circumvent these new realities there is a system called instead that's not yet operational but they're trying to kind of block the sanctions from european companies that are still up holding their side of the deal but really this deal has taken a big hit the net result is that tehran says that all they've had from europe for the past year has been more also poll the fact that europe's in the middle of it was felt most keenly i think in the u.k. yesterday it really was rather awkward because the u.s. secretary of state might pompei was in london on a visit visiting his u.k. counterpart jeremy hunt and jeremy hunt was asked flat out whose side are you on anyway take a listen to his response if they break the deal then there will be consequences in terms of how european we aren't so we should be arranged to think very long
5:22 pm
and hard before they break we're working together to push back against that to your question about whose side are you on. this is a parlor game that gets played we're on the same side we're on the side of europe it was the u.s. that unilaterally pulled out of this agreement now over a year ago if it even if you listen to the opinion of the un it says iran's been complying with the terms of the deal so you've got the us paying the ante with yet more sanctions iran says. saying well we're going to give you sixty days or we stop complying on our side so both sides becoming increasingly polarized and you have your up some matt bang in the middle of it all. a second world war monument in chicago is igniting passions it was erected by the lisa wayne and community which says it on as a war hero and resistance fighter but a leading jewish human rights organization says he was also a nazi collaborator the ceremony honoring
5:23 pm
a doll fast rum announced that was held just days after victims of the holocaust were commemorated around the world lithuanian foreign minister also took part in the unveiling of the monument with rain it considers the roman africa a national hero and maintains he did not collaborate with the nazis under the code name of an i guess that was a prominent part as on in lithuania he opposed the soviet ministration during and after the second world war although there's no solid proof that he himself killed anyone when the country was occupied by the nazis the same on a visa intel center believes he led a gang of local vigilantes which prosecuted the jewish community director ephriam zero of things the monument is an insult to the victims of the war. it's basically spitting in the face of how of course survivors of the jewish community the very person with any morality who expects a member of the e.u.
5:24 pm
to preserve certain values and i can promise you that i don't mean people who collaborated with nazis is not one of the values of the european union or any other normal organization there's no evidence on the other hand because some self killed anybody but the gang that he headed was actively involved in persecution from the top and that the soviet union crumbled there's been a very systematic attempt to rewrite the narrative of world war two and the holocaust trying to hide the role played in the house of course by local collaborators and in that respect you have to keep in mind that only in eastern europe did collaboration with the nazis include active participation in mass murder chicago officials have yet to comment on the monument they spent a rabbi in san friedman who joined to fall in new york against what he calls praising killis he says he'll appeal to conquest to put pressure on little ania.
5:25 pm
christ can help and contact the members of congress as we're going to do in this case and i want to make that clear that's the next step lobby members of congress it doesn't happen overnight to put pressure on and when you speak to representatives of the jewish community to tell them don't go to lithuania until they correct this travesty why are we going to lithuania where they're honoring the murder of thousands and thousands of people so it's going to take time but that's going to happen so it was with that in mind we decided to begin the process with the rally being the first step and the plan to follow up with the other steps and we would hope that at some point you know the good people went away and you know we're going to start saying why are we honoring a guy that killed lithuanians because of people they killed were lit the way they happen to be of the jewish state so why are we honoring the guy is the best we have can we find a guy that we should honor is being looked when he knew that was not murdering lithuanians of the jewish great to have any faith i think that's a question they should be asking. english football's feeling on top of all it right
5:26 pm
