campus area they're still under siege and there is ongoing clashes going on as we speak this is the latest so it's still quite volatile. i mean what happened last one week it's not just the protests it's there's also a pent up frustration among many students and general population also so there is an apprehension within the public sphere that what is next and that you've got to understand in bangladesh it's a very politically polarized country election is coming up this year so the political climate is also very tense and government is not of us about situation at that put up a direct british outlaw today which is known as section one four four and that means anybody more than four gathering in a place could be liable for any rest or detention that's a very old law and that's been imposed now to discourage any kind of protests in the strait for the media community they're very concerned today i spoke to many of

visiting with seven soldiers said to be wounded in the incident and time a douro political leaders fear that the government will use the case to justify a harsh crackdown on the opposition the broad broad opposition coalition tweeted that the government would take advantage of the incident quote to criminalize those who legitimately and democratically oppose it and deepen the repression and systematic human rights violations robert oulds al-jazeera washington. has appeared to change a story about a two thousand and sixteen meeting between his son and a russian lawyer connected to the kremlin meaning forms part of a muller investigation into possible links between trump's campaign and moscow he now says the meeting was to collect information about his rival hillary clinton and step about russian adoption this is what he tweeted that is supporting a complete fabrication that i am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son donal
11:19 am
had in trump tower this is a meeting to get information on an opponent told him they go on to an all the time in politics and it went nowhere nowhere that i did not know about it in washington d.c. mike hanna has more. well the tweet which came at eight thirty five sunday morning completely changed the dynamic of the ongoing milian to test a geisha and into russian collusion essentially president trump has reversed the story concerning the meeting that took place in trump tower back in june twenty sixth with a russian banker known to have ties to the kremlin the official version of that story given by both president trump and his son donald trump jr was at the meeting was held to discuss the issue of russian adoptions however now president trump says what he has not admitted before that the meeting was in fact to obtain dirt from the russians on political opponents in particular hillary clinton president trump
11:20 am
essentially admitting that there was discussion by members of his staff with a known russian agent concerning involvement in the outcome of the u.s. election now it goes even further than this because donald trump jr has told congress that about the original version of the meeting he also purportedly wrote a letter which it subsequently transpired was written by his father donald trump which gave the or turned the reason for that meeting saying it was about russian adoption now we are hearing as well from trump's lawyers one of his many lawyers jay sekulow that discussion is ongoing about whether or not president trump will sit down for an interview with the special counsel robert miller an interview that the council is likely to press for even harder given the news of this latest tweet by president trump however jay sekulow also insisted that idea of a subpoena of
11:21 am
a sitting president was absolutely unheard of saying that should such a subpoena be served it would go all the way to the supreme court and would most likely fail to bring president trump to the interview table but incidentally as well that's. same lawyer jay sekulow admitted during that interview that he also lied last year when he said that that trump tower meeting involved russian adoption not russian collusion the sanctions on iran in the next twenty four hours then actual target will be can destroy including cars and carpets president donald trump pulled out of the iran nuclear deal in may despite no indication to iran has had violated the terms european allies are still backing the two thousand and fifteen agreement from washington alan fischer reports. donald trump has heated the iran nuclear deal for a long time he promised if elected president he would immediately withdraw the us from the internationally agreed deal if you could more than
11:22 am
a year for the finally did it in me this was a horrible one sided deal that should have never ever been made there are those who would suggest that donald trump hasn't even read the iran deal but he's against it because it doesn't cover issues such as iran's a ballistic missile program or its influence in the region those who sat down originally with theory means decided to concentrate solely on the nuclear issue to try and get a deal and they did. when the u.s. pulled out it violated the deal and upset international partners but it also set the clock ticking on snapping back sanctions against the government in tehran anyone doing business with iran a country or company could face u.s. sanctions europe india turkey could all be by. walking away from the naked idea of reimposing sanctions poses two huge problems for international players for other countries one is that they have to in a sense and go along with president trump shredding the international order that
11:23 am
they all signed up to and then they have to take a personal hit in terms of their finances either pulling out of iran are not investing in iraq donald trump believes putting economic pressure on iran will bring them back to the negotiating table there are others in this administration who believe it could even. change. is going to alter we have to look at stuff in the mirror iranian people especially jews are increasingly eager for economic political and social change but one expert says the u.s. sanctions policy might actually have the opposite effect both. in iran's economy will be under more pressure than it was or not enough to actually change its nuclear and you'll start to see the iranians restart the nuclear program all only tests i mean. donald trump has in recent days surprisingly off for direct talks with iran with no preconditions but a cold response from the iranians means that it's unlikely to happen before the

second wave of u.s. sanctions kicks in in november and that would leave the iran nuclear deal a shelf and struggling to survive alan fischer al-jazeera washington and already in place have to tame the deputy chief of the central bank arrive she was arrested for several others as part of a crackdown on financial fried famous probably has more from tehran. the detention of ahmed iraq iran central bank's top official in charge of foreign exchange comes just twenty four hours after he was fired and replaced now less than two weeks ago the head of the central bank was fired and replaced and all this comes on the eve of u.s. sanctions going back into effect against iran also foreign minister jobs reef is expected to address parliamentarians in the morning about the country's foreign policy matters specifically about u.s. sanctions and later that day president hassan rouhani is expected to make
11:25 am
a televised address to the nation this government no doubt wants to be seen to be doing something about the allegations the perception of corruption amongst top officials and especially in light of the fact that the result has fallen so drastically the iranian currency has lost more than half its value in less than a year just to give you a sense of the public mood in the country at the moment during the friday sermon this week the cleric delivering the sermon said that public officials who were involved in corrupt practices were traitors now all of this high political drama comes in the backdrop of a six night of protests demonstrations have been ongoing a sporadically throughout the country and police personnel as well as protesters are out on the streets in various cities across the country once more to demonstrate against. the country's failing economy so a most protesters as well as opposition politicians there is
