Hello im terry martin good to have you with us german chancellor going to akhil has called on her fellow lawmakers to come together to save a jeopardized nuclear deal with iran michael made the comments that a budget debate that highlighted germanys commitments abroad among a host of contentious issues she singled out the recent u. S. Withdrawal from the accord as hugely problematic lets listen to some of what she had to say in this anybody else but there are more issues to discuss like the Ballistic Missile program or the influence of iran and hizbollah in syria. There are other questions as well hm. But the one question we have to answer and that we already have answered in opposition to the United States is there a stronger level of dialogue if one abandons the deal or is the dialogue stronger if one remains in the deal. We believe that by not leaving the iran deal it will be easier to continue talks which we must do ladies and gentlemen because the Ballistic Missile program is a great danger most specifically for israel. Well were joined by our chief Political Editor mikaela mickael you listen to that whole speech by the chancellor of course was supposed to be about the budget what shes doing talking about iran while shes highlighting the importance of really an International Community working together and it certainly was in the case of this Iran Nuclear Deal which there was a hope would become pretty much a Reference Point for any kind of future attempts to do diplomacy to talk instead of having to threaten needs and with the example of north korea will also see that its a very bumpy road indeed if you want to get anywhere now theres an open rift now between the European Union and the United States after trump of course decided to withdraw from that agreement and this was part of on the macro mapping out the scenario in which she has to do policy also has to do domestic policy and also where spending parties needs to be chose that route of argument rather than talking very much about the bread and much closer to home issues here into many it was a wide ranging speech she talked about a lot of issues foreign and domestic diva some of the other highlights from that speech a lot of it we have before i mean this renewed pledge to multilateralism a clear message that that would not shy away to have differences with the United States of particular on this issue of iran but at the same time that the transatlantic relationship is more than just a Reference Point that is part of the very fabric of how germany how the European Union does diplomacy is so clear broadening out here of those issues the debate in the business talk today the budget bay was opened by the leader of the Largest Opposition Party which happens to be the de least bydel is a coleader of the she spoke at the beginning heres a sample of what she had to say. Using the recent minutes you talked to and with a quote from for my czech president to middle c. Men its something youve already heard here and i quote if you live in a country that might penalize you for fishing without a license but not for crossing the border illegally without a valid pos boot then you would be right in saying this country is governed by idiots and yet you want to get. All these fired all their coleader germanys Foreign Party speaking in Parliament Earlier today no big surprise there of course that shes criticizing the governments migration policy weve heard from the f. T. Before what else did the does she have to say however because this is an important debate that is taking place today in the parliament and what was reaction to what yes yes watch additionally is not just about budgets and spending its a chance for the opposition to really lay into the government also government but here is a fresh in office what she also did she actually received. From the president of the parliament for allegedly insulting women wearing a headscarf she was. It took her four minutes to get to the whole migration issue and she referenced back to it a lot of the time she pretty much set spending for migrants coming to germany against what is seen as a debt for future generations due to the policy priorities here in germany to public spending parties one must bear in mind that that is an issue and thats also criticism that is much older than the socalled migration crisis here in germany so we got a taste of what the John Parliament is like since the far right if he joined much more aggressive in ten very much so Political Editor mikaela thanks so much. Now returning to the topic of iran as we just heard europe is scrambling to keep the deal alive with the United States the Foreign Ministers of the e. U. Germany the u. K. And france met through a rainy and counterpart in brussels yesterday discussed ways of saving the agreement all sides agreed to look for Practical Solutions of the next few weeks but it is unclear whether theyll be able to give or brand the economic and legal guarantees it was irans foreign minister was cautiously optimistic but also conceded there was a long way to go. We started the process i believe we are on the right track now is a lot depends on what we can do within the next few weeks. Presented to make a statement on behalf of all of us and i believe its a good start were not beginning the process and we need to receive those got into yes we will see how best we can move forward. Irans foreign minister speaking in brussels yes they will for more lets bring in Brussels Bureau chief max hoffman max how can the Iran Nuclear Deal be salvaged without the u. S. And europe is pretty much alone or can other signatories russia and china help pick up the slack. Well picking up the slack terry here would mean to give them some kind of guarantees economically speaking whos going to be business with iran because thats what important for the country especially when it comes to their oil reserves thats the lifeline somebody has to buy it otherwise they wont have the money to sustain what theyre doing in iraq now the problem here of course is that any business basically that is going to go to iran might be sanctioned by the United States of america and thats not necessarily an incentive to do business there so thats one part of it and you mentioned china here they have a whole range of problems with the u. S. At the moment because of a looming trade war so they might not be willing to poor more fuel into the that flame and even worse of the relations they have with the Trump Administration right now ok so well see what maybe russia and china see other signatories that are a nuclear deal can offer but what about the self max what can the e. U. Offer to rent to help keep the deal alive. Well as a strategic decision they do have tools for example theres something called the blocking statute that was already used in ninety six because back then the u. S. Wanted sanctions or had sanctions on cuba but the e. U. Wanted to continue to do business with the island so they could use Something Like that and that would force for example or prohibited the e. U. Companies to respect the u. S. Sanctions so you can see thats pretty heavy stuff thats heavy artillery they have other means for example re compensating companies that want to do business there and are hit by the u. S. Sanctions but first what you need is a strategic decision by the e. U. Leaders something they might or most likely will discuss tonight by the way in sofia in bulgaria where they are meeting for a summit where this will be an important topic but it doesnt seem like they are ready to do that to have this aggressive stance because the problem of course is that the the retaliation the possible retaliation by by trump would escalate things max thanks so much Brussels Bureau chief there.

North korea has threatened cancel a planned summit with u. S. President donald trump it said it would not take part if washington insists that it give up its Nuclear Weapons john yang has also postponed high level talks with seoul in protest at military drills between the u. S. And south korea in a patient minister back to him and said he regretted the norths live move and that it went against the spirit of a historic meeting last month between the two countries leaders. Lets bring in correspondent Jason Strother here hes standing by force in the south korean capital seoul jason what are we looking at here is pyongyang trying to get out of talks on its Nuclear Program or is this just a strategic move to give it more leverage. Well how well far be it for me to know what kim jong un has and has in mind but i dont think this means the end of all the peace overtures that weve seen over the past few months this is. A road bump if you will. North korea needed to stand its ground and not be. Backed into a corner as it said it didnt like that the Us Administration was pledging Financial Aid in return for complete denuclearization or for that matter being compared to libyan style due nuclearization as security advisor john bolton said recently. What about south korea to south korea make of this whole surprise for the north decision to cancel the inter korean summit as well. Terry i do think that seoul is surprised this caught them off guard there were supposed to be high level talks between officials today but just several hours before that meeting was to take place north korea said due to ongoing u. S. South korea military exercises these talks would have to be called off it seems peculiar because there have been american and south Korean Military drills going on for the past couple months even reportedly told south korean envoys that he understands the necessity for these exercises that take place and when in protest them so it didnt take seoul by surprise that suddenly the north side of these drills as the reason to call off todays talks of the talks with north were called off to the. U. S. President. As well but not everyone has given up hope what would have to happen for that summit between north korea and the u. S. To go ahead. I mean i still think that we are you know full steam ahead to the u. S. North korea summit north korea has only said that it would reconsider canceling the trump kim talks if the u. S. Continue to pressure the north to unilaterally give up its nuclear arms but still young young has much more to gain by continuing these talks instead of just walking away from them now so theres no reason to believe that trump will not be meeting kim jong un next month in singapore. Still full speed ahead thanks so much Jason Strother there in Seoul South Korea thank you.
