Transcripts For DW The Day 20240714

That iran has exceeded the 300 kilogram means reached iranian limits we would like to see the European Union impose sanctions on iran on all honest shared concerns when it comes through. Laws and if he would just call a timeout on that the europeans have failed to fulfill their promises so its protecting irans interests on the deal but its really bad as they will out of those thoughts to enrich uranium again we cannot let iran having Nuclear Weapons to skin donald trump told us when he got out of it that he was going to give us a better deal. Also coming up tonight for more people have died in sudan by demanding what would be a radical change in the country a government led by the people not by the soldiers to punish these oppressors ready. We want to civilian government a civilian one. Even though its painful the will to achieve freedom will never escape us we will keep on until we have a civilian government. To our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with iran running out of patience and europe running out of options. Today the u. N. Confirmed that iran has broken one of the terms under the 2015 nuclear deal a deal that was designed to prevent iran from acquiring Nuclear Weapons iran also confirmed that move today but it left open the possibility of reversing course saying europe must do more to help the iranian economy withstand u. S. Sanctions u. S. President donald trump has increased sanctions on iran since he withdrew from the nuclear deal when year ago or todays move by tehran puts europe and an almost impossible situation of trying to define the policies of its main ally the u. S. Can europe create a financial infrastructure to bypass the superpower of the u. S. Dollar in order to keep irans economy and the Nuclear Deal Alive well so far that answer is no iran seems to think that the answer could be not yet how to tie the knot on a little while the europeans have failed to fulfill their promises of protecting irans interests under the deal who to chart it out montage it at the moment to actions by the europeans have not been enough so the Islamic Republic will move ahead with its plans as previously announced or in the process of our 1st phase of action on increasing our stockpile of enriched uranium as well as our heavy water reserves you know mint on the issue of the car that was irans foreign minister earlier today i want to talk now with brussels correspondent teri schultz shes on the story for us from there this evening good evening to you terry has there been reaction from europe or the e. U. To the confirmation that iran is now violating the nuclear deal. Yes there has been and you know brant the European Union which of course was the mediator of the Iran Nuclear Deal has wanted to wait until it got confirmation from the International Atomic Energy Agency the i. A. E. A. That the threats iran has been making to start enriching uranium again were actually true today that that time ran out and in fact the i. A. E. A. Said yes they have breached the limits allowed under the nuclear deal so the e. U. Had to respond now what theyre doing is remaining very calm and still talking about the sustainability of the deal theyre asking iran to reverse course and theyre noting it very much in carrot and not stick mode at the moment that iran stayed compliant for 14 months after the United States pulled out of the deal and it says lets go back to that status now iran its very much trying to keep iran in the game not be alarmist at this point and hope that the levels of enriched uranium are still at a reversible level and just 3 days ago. You told iran that the trading mechanism which is which is called instax that it is in place and it is working but iran appear really thinks thats not enough in that more can be done in europe. Europe has really been trying every option possible this mechanism you mentioned called instax it was never going to be the solution that iran wanted its a trading sort of a barter mechanism working on credit lines so that money doesnt have to actually pass hands and thereby be subject to u. S. Sanctions europe has also tried to protect its companies from sanctions threatened by the United States saying if the u. S. Takes you to court for doing business in iran we will support you but none of that was enough no no company has enough business in iran to withstand u. S. Sanctions they all looked at their at their you know bottom lines and said it is not worth it to stay in iran under threat of the United States so europe has certainly tried to put in place the mechanisms to protect iran but for example brant at the moment sanctions have reduced irans oil exports to about 400000 barrels a day iran says it needs 1500000000 to break even its very deeply in debt and i cant see how europe can do enough can can do it have enough boost to the economic khana me to the to the economy of iran to really bring it back to an even level and tonight were still talking about the e. U. Europe as being in a position where it wants to say this deal that it wants to help bring it back to an even level and tonight were still talking about the e. U. Europe as being in a position where it wants to say this deal that it wants to help iran when do we reach the place that europe sees iran violating this deal and then says enough is enough we want to reimpose sanctions on iran. I think the e. U. Has been very patient and will continue to be very patient on this deal its not only because it very much worries that there isnt going to be any broader deal like the United States talks about that will take the Nuclear Component into account and again stop iran from from enriching uranium so it thinks that this is really the best shot possible to stop iran from possibly getting a Nuclear Weapon it isnt going to give up early imposing sanctions of course would mean admitting that the deal is dead and despite being offered to do this many times the e. U. Is not willing to declare this deal dead it wants iran to reverse course it wants iran to reverse course with it teri schultz in brussels thank you we will check in with you on another story in just a moment or lets take this story now into the u. S. Capital im joined tonight by Andrew Miller hes with the project on middle east democracy thats a think tank and you worked at the u. S. State department served on the National Security council helping develop u. S. Policies in the middle east and you welcome to the program i want you to take a listen to how the Iranian Foreign minister how he is describing irans decision which the u. N. Says is a violation of the nuclear deal known as the j c p a way take a listen to that and then i want to get your reaction to monitor ive been informed that iran has crossed the 300 kilogram limit based on its plan we do already said this would occur and we said very clearly what we were going to do and we will act on it we see this is our right based on the joint comprehensive plan of action. That about john mccain youve got theres a reef there saying that j. C. Allows iran to do what it is now doing is he telling us that iran is technically not in violation of the deal. Thats what he seems to be suggesting however any objective reading of the way would suggest that iran is clearly in contravention of the terms about an agreement what he is saying is actually harkening back to the original rania negotiating position when they 1st sat down with the United States the scotts the possibility of an agreement on its Nuclear Program in which they claim that enrichment is a right and therefore no International Agreement could have bridge and ultimately the Obama Administration succeeded in putting major limitations on to richmond that would ensure that iran couldnt develop a Nuclear Weapon in faster than one years time which would provide the International Community was space to respond should a wrong go the nuclear route but no i dont think of iraq in 4 minutes or statement accurately reflects a confidence about agreement and i think he knows that very well iran also said today that europe must do more just help the iranian economy would stand us saying she is iran asking europe to do the impossible here to create an infrastructure that can bypass the u. S. Dollar is it also just pushing as hard as it can to divide the u. S. And europe. I think this is clearly a stratagem on the iranian leadership part of both to get leverage over the europeans in the hope that they can find some way to soften the impact of u. S. Sanctions on its economy but also as you said to draw a line and to create distance between the u. S. And its european allies in the hope that it would give it more leverage in any type of future International Agreement its very difficult to see how the europeans could do much more to address iranian economic concerns. Standing up a separate International Financial mechanism that would not have exposure to the u. S. Economy and to u. S. Sanctions is the undertaking of many months if not years and the cost of so doing would be quite substantial so its difficult to see how the europeans can do much more than what theyve already done in the form of this bartering mechanism known as an sticks and the Drug Administration says it wants new talks with iran is maximum pressure policy will continue we know that iran will not talk as long as theres a President Trump todays confirmation of iran violating the deal that moves us even further from the possibility of talks with the wood would you agree. Yes i think thats absolutely right at this time although from what weve seen president from office incredibly mercurial incredibly capricious and he can flip his position on the on on a dime the real question is not in the United States because weve seen time and again that the u. S. Position and shifts its whether the iranian leadership would be prepared to reverse their opposition to speak with President Trump and it remains to be seen whether the iranians refusal to sit down with the Trump Administration is just part of their negotiating tactic or whether it reflects a true opposition and a true lack of faith in the trumpet ministration if its the latter and theyre not prepared to discuss the issues in the Nuclear Agreement until a new administration than we have at least a year and a half of this uncertainty a year and a half of this specific climate and fortunately we cant rule out the possibility of some type of klon from glacial or even in a full scale war its deeply concerning i hope that the iranians would be prepared to parlay with a trumpet ministration should the Trump Administration. Agreed to negotiate without preconditions but i cant necessarily blame them for not having faith that President Trump is going to be honest with them weve heard from the president of iran is simply saying that they dont trust trump because they see him as you said mecurio and hell change his mind with the when i said earlier in the program that iran and the u. S. Are now on a collision course we do you see in the all friends here it is the only way to stop a conflict. May be a total freeze of activities on both sides the u. S. And iran would that be feasible. I dont i i think if the United States took unilateral action to relieve the economic pressure on iran iran would likely follow suit and reverse this recent development which is accumulating more than 300 kilograms of of enrich material i think sequencing a tit for tat in which the United States war to relieve those sanctions in exchange for a media degree iranian agreement to reverse its decision on the enrich material is unlikely for the very reason we just stated which is theyre not in a position to negotiate and its difficult to work through intermediaries so i think the best Case Scenario is that trump recognizes at some point that he is on the collision course if he doesnt change his path hes going to wind up in a war that he clearly doesnt want that hes made clear he doesnt want and that he takes unilateral measures to deescalate as he did recently when he called off the air strike on iran in response to activities in the persian gulf its a thin reed on which to end ones hopes but it may be the best we have here. With the project on middle east democracy joining us tonight from washington into we appreciate your insights tonight thank you. But it would be fair to ask how can the European Union make the impossible possible with iran when it cannot even make a decision on who should be in charge france and germany had reached an agreement on who should be the next European Commission president but other e. U. Members appear opposed to that now after a marathon 20 hour summit with no results so its recalled all things and we understand they will resume tomorrow heres french president emmanuel microland on these divisions. Dont tell me he said well we ended the day with what we can call it because no results were found yet i think this is a very bad picture that we give of the council and of europe so no one can be happy with what has just taken so many al was i think that this is an extremely serious problem that will have to settle in the long 10 i will come back to it. Lets try to be back at it on tuesday we understand artless pullin our brussels correspondent gary schultz again so terry this is definitely i guess you could say one of those mondays that the European Union would like to quickly forget the iran crisis and now no decision on who gets the key jobs in the European Union i mean whats happening here. Well brant it cant all be blamed on a monday because they started it on sunday but yeah it definitely was a day thats nobody is proud of you heard president mcclellan calling it an embarrassment and the portuguese Prime Minister came out and said everything went wrong and we are very frustrated so basically this agreement that chancellor merkel and president thought might work when they were speaking on the margins of the g 20 in osaka came back and presented it to their counterparts and not so surprisingly everybody said no way are you 2 going to you know work out something and expect us all to just swallow it so basically no one agrees on who should be the president of the European Commission it looked like timmermans the socialist candidate could get enough support but now the visa grab for countries the Eastern European governments plus italy say thats completely unacceptable to them month bever of course the candidate for the European Peoples Party the largest Political Group says that hes not out yet and we can trace this back to the results of the European Parliament where the largest 2 groups the center right and the center left lost their ability to simply push decisions through by having a majority between the 2 of them it is a huge mess and im not even sure that tomorrow they will be able to work it out it doesnt seem like we theres a solution in sight anytime soon. Is just music. The critics you say that the e. U. Was too big and relies too much on backroom deals instead of transparent democracy. Well i dont think the euro skeptics are any ones to talk about transparent democracy but whats more worrying is when the europhiles like a menu mcmullen come out and say this is a disaster he also said until we can make agreements among 28 there is no way im going to agree to any expansion which of course if youre North Macedonia and and albania youre listening very closely for comments like that so it wasnt just the countries that sometimes feel like theyre sidelined and those led by people like viktor orban who like to criticize the e. U. All of the leaders were frustrated and that is a very bad sign there wasnt anybody coming out talking about unity they were all talking about what are we going to do and its really not clear what theyre going to do to do yet print but theres a serious timeline on this now because on wednesday the European Parliament is going to pick its president whether or not the European Commission president has been chosen and some candidates maybe in line for one of those 2 jobs. You know used in brussels doing double duty tonight as always thank you. Well programme ocracy activists in sudan say that they will stage a new campaign of nationwide civil disobedience in 2 weeks time this a day after at least 11 people were reportedly killed in clashes with Security Forces during protests yesterday tens of thousands flooded the streets of the capital khartoum demanding a transition to civilian rule it was the 1st mass rally since you damns Ruling Military Council violently crackdown on demonstrators back on june 3rd yesterdays protests came on the day that the African Union had set as a deadline for sudans military to hand over power to seville. To talk more about whats going on in sudan im joined now by the sudanese activists and artists ahmed he is based here in berlin i mean its good to have you on the show appreciate you coming in to talk with this you support the protesters demands how confident are you that they can be achieved to mean what were seeing Security Forces cracking down on the demonstrators the cut theyve turned off the internet i mean where are you getting your optimism from this protest is where the time and since 1000 of the office of a month on the street there were a lot of crackdowns instead of june the military council dave tractor traumatized his movement by a backpack and with us just killing more than 120. 00 people and just said a set of june it was a declaration for the movement that we are still there and were still fighting and they came out the street more than before that declaring that the leadership of this change that has that they had to get change for a Transitional Civilian Authority that given the contrary to the Democratic Change the talks between military council and the protest leaders we know they broke down last month is trying to restart the negotiations is that the best way forward i mean. Do you believe you can talk with the military or i think there is theres like most of us and its worth us just now are united under the leadership of deterioration of freedom and change and the creation of freedom and change they have said very clearly that they need the Investigation Committee that supported by International Community to do this to get into crime that happened said of june and then there was a mediation from that u. P. I. Which is actually accepted by the duration of freedom agenda rejected by Transition Military Council but after after yesterday obviously have changed because this is was very clear that sudanese have bowed their voice to street again and then that we will not rest until this transition happens which is very clear and very pressure for the for the transition intercoms and they have now to accept or just need to continue to a more more conflict that they cannot control it anymore but the spirit of the Civil Society and the people are not are not under the will of their tradition that your council your among those outside of sudan in your calling attention to the protest movement what is the message that you would like to send to governments or International Bodies outside of your home country about whats going on so the needs are calling for its all determination for civilian government democratic agenda is a very basic basic human demands for political change so that i think International Community they have to fulfill their duties by supporting this change and not intervening in a negative way that the world over to produce more dictatorship or military dictatorship sudan is actually to produce democratic country they need to support civilian transition to if youre getting the support from the African Union for example but europe the un are you getting what you need African Union standing out in a very good position they are supporting the change for transition and for the for the Civil Authority and that actually goes a back bay there in a bag by the americans but until when this would continue that which actually did this in these protesters are not truly confident was it so they need this change to happen fast because also it did theres an internet interest for. Stabilization of the country but also theres internists interest for the for the from the point this doesnt have a civilian government and this is the old you way that determine the sudanese future relationship is International Community all right we appreciate you coming in and sharing your stories with this hopefully next time we talk we can talk about progress thank you. There are many Unanswered Questions concerning europes migration policies today inside an italian courtroom this was the question posed should rescuing people at sea be a crime well the answer could determine the fate of a captain named after she was captain of the sea watch 3 which was carrying 40 migrants rescued from the mediterranean when it entered the port of lampedusa over the weekend without permission and then hit a Police Speedboat now if convicted the 31 year old captain faces up to 10 years in prison. This was the scene in front of the Italian Embassy in berlin on monday crowds gathered in support of. The captain in custody and to protest against the italian in terry a minister much more. Than the t. S. A. Is doubling down on his stance against refugees and against private rescue operations. That. If she is a criminal on the criminal. The feet criminalize those who rescue other people all fight for humanitarian causes well then im a criminal to him and all these you know people should not be getting. Over the weekend German Foreign minister made his opposition to the captains arrest clear he said he would continue to push for her release and negotiations with this italian counterparts. This kind of stuff rescuing people at sea is not a criminal offense its a humanitarian act sets why i think. Ultimately anything other than a release will only lead to considerable irritation. And fall. By midday monday private advocacy groups had managed to raise some 750000 euros for the captain that amount has now topped well over a 1000000. Its money will need to cover her Legal Expenses the migrant she rescued will be resettled and the number of a u.
