Now for a look at stories making headlines around the world….
Iran's foreign minister has called on the EU to do more in its push to salvage the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, saying its efforts so far are insufficient.
For more on this and other international news we turn to our Ro Aram…
Aram… ever since the U.S. pulled out of the agreement Iran has been looking to the EU to save it… but now it seems Tehran is losing hope in Europe as well…

That's right Mark… the main concern for Iran is how its economy will be affected by America's withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal.
Washington has said it would reimpose sanctions on Iran, including ones aimed at the country's oil and financial sectors.
EU leaders have pledged to try to keep Iran's oil trade and investment flowing, but noted that it would not be easy.
However, Iran's foreign minister doesn't seem to be satisfied with their efforts, saying European political support for the accord was "not sufficient."
Mohammad Javad Zarif made the comments on Sunday during a meeting with the EU's energy chief Miguel Arias Canete in Tehran.
He added the possible withdrawal by major European companies from their cooperation with Iran is not consistent with the EU's commitment to implementing the nuclear deal.
Several European firms suggested last week that their business in Iran would be restricted or end completely due to the reimposition of U.S. sanctions.
Zarif went on to say the bloc should take more practical steps and increase its investments in Iran, as well as preserve oil trade.
Canete responded by pledging to preserve the nuclear pact and continue cooperation between the EU and Iran.
