not only for her but for those women who rely on here. this is al jazeera live from studio fourteen here at al-jazeera headquarters in doha santa maria welcome to the newsgroup donald trump's squeeze on iran is about to be intensified the white house is just detail the sanctions. and the impact they are expected to make iran says it will overcome and its regional policies will stay on the chain. also on the grid the protests go on in bangladesh but for the first time a concession from the government it's announced a new road transport act with tougher penalties but after nine days of protests and and often violent response from police we wonder would that be enough. i mean the hummus we're having

a massive reaction to the story from new spirit especially after the arrest of a well known photo journalist and activist to keep those messages coming and connect is the hash tag brant and a tweet from canada's foreign policy account urging the release of human rights activists in saudi arabia has been taken as a violation of saudi sovereignty suddenly new trade deals have been frozen the ambassador has been recalled and saudi students studying in tonnage are transferred out. of the newsgroup to live on air and streaming online through facebook live in al-jazeera dot com we've just had an announcement from the white house about how it is going to start slapping sanctions back on iran remember donald trump didn't want to be part of the iran nuclear deal anymore and part of withdrawing from that meant returning to such penalties for its part other members like the e.u. will actually prevent your pain. he's from complying with these new sanctions and

iran says the u.s. is finding itself more isolated now i just have this picture released from the white house president of a president a photo of president trump signing the executive order actually it's not from the it's released by the white house such as a but is actually in bedminster new jersey which i think is where his golf club is he's on a a working holiday at his go club and that is part of the work signing sanctions back into place so we've got the same bus ravi who is our reporter in teheran and we're going to speak to him in just a moment first though we are off to washington and our white house correspondent kimberly halkett take us through the details of this one kimberly. i just got off a conference call the porter's conference call with the trumpet ministration with a detailed these sanctions essentially it's a snap back of the sanctions that were lifted as a result of that twenty fifteen agreement between iran the united states and other world powers to limit iran's nuclear program so snapping back into place or

a number of sectors that are being targeted in iran by the united states limits the purchase of commercial aircraft automobiles limiting the trade of gold graphite steel and aluminum even at preventing the export of persian carpets food that sort of thing but it gets even more severe in ninety days that's when the united states says through sort of a second wave of sanctions through executive order the united states plans to target iran's oil industry its financial industry and its shipbuilding sectors what's really interesting canal though in all of this is the united states says it's calling this this maximum economic pressure campaign and it's been implemented in part not just because of the withdrawing from the united states from the agreement in may the j. c.p.o. a but also because of those protests that we've been seeing in our in iran those anti-government protests the united states says what it feels has happened as

a result of the relaxing of sanctions a couple of years ago is that iran's government started to profit handsomely but those profits were not going to the people instead what the united states is alleging is that that money was going to finance a proxy militias in the middle east sort of what the united states calls its malign activity destabilizing the broader middle east so the u.s. says it's not looking for regime change when it's looking is to modify iran's behavior brought a picture you can believe just quickly is this donald trump coming good on another of his promises as we say it's it was pushed by the withdrawal from the jay c.p.o. a bump does it go back to more campaign promises that iran the iran deal was just it was a terrible deal it was never any good. absolutely this is a campaign promise kept by the president he certainly said this on the campaign trail they thought the iran agreement was bad he felt it was bad because he felt it was not comprehensive enough that it may and even members of his own administration

including the secretary of state said that iran was complying under the terms of the deal the feeling of donald trump and others within the administration including the john bolton the national security advisor is that it just doesn't go far enough so what the united states is looking to do are really twofold one the united states says and donald trump has even said he is willing to sit down and talk with the iranian leaders but for now this pressure campaign remains because what they're looking to do is to not only a limited nuclear program but also again address what it calls its broader destabilizing activity something that it seeks to turn around ok thank you kimberly and from him in washington we go to teheran and here resign bus ravi to take us through reaction from iran. welcome all what can we say that hasn't already already been said in the many months that the united states and the iranian government have been quarrelling over this nuclear deal the two

countries are really at a stalemate and when the united states pulled. out of this international agreement iran began leaning on its on its other partners as part of this deal the other signatories to the deal and the foreign minister mohammad javad zarif took the opportunity to repeat a lot of what's already been said before but it has significance it's on the eve of sanctions going back into effect addressing a group of journalists who reminded them that there were other countries to deal with there were five other countries including iran that signed this agreement and those countries continue to be on iran side when it comes to the nuclear deal he said that they supported the fact that iran has stood by all of its commitments with regards to the deal and that the reason the united states was pulling out of it had nothing to do with the nuclear activity of the iranian government at all and it had to do with what iran considers its own self defense strategy in the region

and he says that it is the united states that is that the stabilizing force in the middle east here's a little something of what he had to say i get a kick out you vote in the clinical like that i'm just no one believe that u.s. president donald trump was serious about dialogue negotiations with that rob all the threats and pressure had not succeeded in changing iran's policy so yes the u.s. sanctions would cause some problems but we would successfully overcome. then you would have had kimberly before describing these sanctions the reapplying of sanctions as a snapback right way going back to the future here can you just briefly explain for our viewers what life was like under sanctions in iran and how much of an effect it had on on everyday life and on the economy. well since one nine hundred seventy nine since the islamic revolution that has created modern day iran there have been american sanctions even throughout the negotiation of the nuclear deal under the obama administration there were sanctions being placed on iran in a number of ways the the nuclear deal really made it possible for iran to step out

of economic isolation on the global stage and the few years that it had without sanctions were we're optimistic ones there's a great deal of hope there's a great deal of of brain returning were iranians came back to try to invest in their own economy now what we've seen with the threat of sanctions coming back even before these have been put into place beginning tomorrow we have seen the psychological economic impact on the people in iran on foreign direct investment not happening the value of the currency has been cut in half so effectively what you pay for a loaf of bread has now doubled and people's income has not increased at a pace and so while the government of president hassan rouhani who is expected to speak in the next two or three hours in a televised address to the nation is trying to strike an optimistic tone zarif we heard they're trying to say that the crisis stage of dealing with these sanctions

is over many people here a civilian and members of the opposition i would disagree with them the economic circumstances within which most iranians find themselves are dire are difficult and there is little sign that it's getting better we've seen six straight nights of protests sporadic protests in cities across the country including smaller demonstrations in the capital to run itself and what many people are calling for is a change of the economic team a change at the federal cabinet level and that's not something that we're seeing yet as i'm both ravi in teheran with the latest there thank you. just what we're talking about the past there and what sanctions are like it's a different approach to the story but let me addition of witness that have a look at it is about a five year struggle to preserve one of iran's largest historical buildings by ten . to get into an international boutique hotel but this was trying to do it at the height of the sanctions against iran it is a good watch goes back a few years iran the sanctions hotel is from witness which as ever you'll find in the documentary section at al-jazeera dot com it's been another day of violence in

bangladesh where police have again fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters a prominent activist was also arrested sparking a big reaction we'll have more on that in the moment one should have a look at these pictures first of all though groups of young men armed with wooden battens filmed attacking students at doctors' east west university we've been told these groups are linked to the government and police remember this all began nine days ago and the people started protesting after two students were hit and killed by a bus but the government appears to be responding the cabinets given the nod to a draft law that will increase penalties for drivers responsible for these deadly road crashes here is more than tanveer chantry in dhaka. hundreds of journalists gathered. in the city. forming a human chance i'd only protesting for that fact from the journalist community within the last one way by unknown elements and the police the police were standing

there by journalists ready to talk this has been on file for the feeling that can perform their professional duty a lot of the journalists saying that you can be in a war zone and still not a big target but here out here while we are covering a protest march we were targeted by sucking elements of the society in front of the police this is ben major sense of contention now we have reaction from some of the journalists this is what they have to say i'm addicted to be somebody we have one demand and we thought is generally should be able to work safely and also note those who attacked the journalist we have the pictures we want him ministry to identify things to talk is so we can pull off special g.t. safely we have journalist also. you know. we want. the protest to safely write in safety for journalists is something we want together

the reason we want to this is because in the last few days the peaceful protests that have been taking place scratchie took that we find. this is a major concern for the media community in bangladesh right now they want protection and security and justice for those who attack them some of them said we know the culprits are we have the pictures the gunmen need to bring them to justice and we also know a renowned photographer a doctor try the law has been detained by the to talk to police that's been rebel now today despite everything that's going on in the city the media community is very concerned and feel trapped and willing to cover any protests right now because they feel personally insecure to go and cover any kind of protest or any kind of demonstration in the city right now. his reveal amounts to august three more on this one though we had a huge response on this one when we were on air yesterday has it carried on since we're still getting so much in terms of response from all fields of platforms twitter facebook especially small but we haven't seen that many people on the streets this time around but social wage is still being further with information

and we've been getting hundreds of messages sent directly to us dominating that conversation though is about the bangladeshi photojournalist and social activist alum and he was arrested at his home in dhaka by more than twenty police officers and we have been recently informed that he will be held in detention for the next seven days he was initially arrested a few hours after he gave a live interview to al jazeera and posted some of those videos on facebook about the protests of people using the hash tag free alarm and we want justice on facebook twitter and telegram as they demand his release and at least five journalists have been attacked which is another indication of how hard it can be to be a journalist in bangladesh which is ranked one hundred forty six out of one hundred eighty countries in the world press freedom index that said the country's media sector is growing and

a quick look at the most recent global digital report will tell you that bangladesh has almost eighty two million internet users most logging on with mobile devices and almost twenty percent are active on social media and that's increasing all the time as data plans become more available and as for traditional media state run t.v. is still the main go to for people getting their news and also their information. now if it is safe to do so please keep these messages coming in also all of your videos he's the hash tag a.j. news great or you can simply message me directly and or him a helmet thank you. on skype from vienna now scott griffin with us deputy director of the international press institute. thanks for joining us scott i'm just looking at a live stream on facebook at the moment up to about two and a half thousand viewers live use that motor is not as much as you say but still it's a lot and we're just getting the feeling that a lot of people are coming to hear us and other international outlets for the news on bangladesh which i guess tells us

a lot about how the media are the operates or is able to operate in bangladesh. yeah i can imagine that's the case and i want to get it started by the way briefly mentioning this case with a guest today the shadow of a lot of the journalist who was arrested shortly after speaking with al-jazeera and i think what's important to recognize about this case is that it's not an isolated incident i mean in our view it's clearly an attempt to stifle viewpoints that sees us as critical. legal the law that was used to arrest the star of something called the information and communications technology act and in fact there's a pattern of the government using this mall and in particular what's known as section fifty seven basically to arrest scores of journalists over the past few years almost all of them for similar reasons we don't usually know tarnishing the image of the state is failing the state spreading propaganda about the state which

is exactly the accusation that's. made against mr obama and you know that we've seen some really farcical cases recent years i mean last year there was a case in which a journalist spread a picture of a dead goat on social media and the goat had been given a minister to sort of some some poor people in a particular constituency and this was one of the you know critical take i what the minister had done as a journalist was eventually arrested tossed in jail and the ironic thing is that the government has already promised actually to get rid of this law and put something else in place and that's something else unfortunately seems to be problematic but it's a start so this is really a battle that we see it's not something it's not something you were ok it's not something unique but has it always been this way i guess i'm talking going back in time as bangladesh always struggled with this. i mean i think that's i think it's

probably fair to say the press freedom in bangladesh has never been you know the best in the world however we have seen in recent years a definite decline a lot of it has to do if the legal atmosphere basically the government using arbitrarily certain loss like this limited information and communications technology act to go out to journalists who are critical of the government and any journalist who are facing actually billions of billions of dollars worth of lawsuits for libel and defamation again number two was to have been targeted and in this particular act and at the same time we've also seen and this is this is just as big of a concern is physical attacks against journalists and that has been accelerating over recent weeks if you winds correspondence for major newspapers i do star are part of our we have been attacked by what appears to be government supporters and i

think if we can say that we don't see right now from a minister government a strong reaction against this type of attacks it makes it clear to everyone the balance of us journalists is not acceptable do you envisage any of this might change. the reason aside is when the spotlight has shown this strongly and by international community as well you know it's not a good look for the for the bangladeshi government obviously do you think there's enough here to prompt some change because i would also note there's an election coming up later this year. it depends how sustainable the spotlight is essentially i mean what i was mentioning about this particular law has been a spotlight on it now for about a year and the government was now forced to turn around and say that it's going to get rid of it and put something else in his place not what has happened in that town is that new bill has been proposed which is called the digital security act which looks like it's going to you know be

a new start but in fact in fact many of the provisions that are being used to jail journalists now i'm just being sprinkled in different spots in this mall are you know some of the jail sentences are being slightly reduced but it's still much worse than you know even if you look at the data the national criminal code to this is actually. it depends how how long has this dana passionately government is if it's just a few days. you know and they may find a way to say ok to appease the criticism long enough for the international community to look away and then when so the attention has been drawn away a little bit and to find ways to to bring some of these things back so so it's really it's really a question of keeping that passion on for a long period of time scott griffin from the international press institute is in vienna thank you so much for that thank you as i said to scott this is all taking place in an election year in bangladesh parliamentary elections due in december or

by december and just a few months ago feisal mahmood wrote this for around as they were dot com questioning how political and presidents were already turning the election into a sham in fact one of his interviewees said here it is it's a government and a political party which believe they are not accountable to anyone it's a dangerous sign in a democracy is bangladesh moving towards a one party state it's in the features section at al-jazeera dot com. and maybe you just want to get in touch with us as well remember the hash tag is a.j. news grid three thousand or so of you on the live stream at the moment and plenty of comments coming through a lot of you pointing out as well the nine days of protests but who was it who said it let me just have a little chat here. on facebook said we only want justice and safe roads and so much of this started out just because of the issue of road safety in is really escalated and as i said in an election year that's going to be quite crucial also a point made by. sorry hosain who has said show the only crime was to give an

interview about what was happening now he's sitting in jail where is the rest of the world at a.j. english on twitter if you want to reply to our thread there with the hashtag a.j. news good facebook dot com slash al-jazeera for the live stream as i said it's always good to have you watching and commenting there what's happened telegram plus nine seven four five zero one triple one four nine. staying in bangladesh just a moment longer as we know hundreds of thousands of refugees are sheltering there after fleeing what the u.n. described as an ethnic cleansing campaign in million mom a human rights watch has looked at the camps they're in and wants all of them to be moved to safer ground where there is a low risk of landslides and flooding seven hundred thousand range of muslims are in temporary shelters neck cancers bizarre makes it one of the world's biggest refugee camps bangladesh is government has a relocation plan though for one hundred thousand of them to a place called char here it is an uninhabited island only formed in the past twenty years from silt in the magna river bangladeshi navy and chinese construction crews

are therefore to find the island with an embankment trying to protect it from the high tides and waves but human rights watch believes the island could be submerged in big weather events you know one comes through like that they're also worried it would dissension to become a giant prison island instead it wants the government to move or hinge of these areas near the current camps and register as the refugees they say they're less vulnerable to landslides and flooding there and they would have better access to shelter and well bill frederick's director of the refugee rights division at human rights watch. here and now i mean there is a real risk of people dying in landslides there's a real risk of cyclonic and certain simply the monsoon rains and selves on this the topography that we're talking about these these steep inclines people that i've spoken to living in huts that that their neighbors have already washed away

and they're sitting there right on the precipice people do need to be evacuated they need to be brought even within the mega camp itself to safer locations and they certainly their work environment there's actually valiant efforts to try to shore up the conditions in the camp but the bangladesh authorities have insisted that the campus temporary and that the solution is repatriation to my own mar while we agree in principle on the refugees themselves also on the right of return the immediate concern is preventing people from suffering and preventing loss of life here and now let's worry about repatriation as time goes on putting pressure on my own mar to fundamentally reform to allow refugees to go home but in the meantime. there even though it may have the look of permanency to build proper schools and have proper education on the children shouldn't be left with no education and essentially that's what's happening now and the flimsy welling's that they're

living in that that can be washed away if by high winds and storms need to be shored up as well they need hard sheltered areas that can protect them and cyclons as well. now the full extent of the damage is slowly beginning to emerge on an indonesian resort island after its second earthquake in just over a week ninety one people are known to have died but once the crews reach more remote areas that number is almost certain to rise the epicenter is lombok island indonesia of course made up of a number of violence actually seventeen thousand of them but this one long book just next to the popular tourist island of bali and it is in tongues where step vast sudden our correspondent is the epicenter of the quake. from under the rubble of a mosque women's voices could still be heard three hours after the earthquake struck the disaster happened during prayer and the mosque was full neighbors heard

women screaming but had no equipment to rescue them when rescue workers arrived twenty hours later this creaming had stopped. i'm sure people are still trapped here some of them we managed to pull out but they died a few hours later. islanders on loan book are still recovering from last week's powerful earthquake and the even bigger trauma happened many were too late to make it to safety as buildings collapsed around them the mother i'm hospital was also severely damaged so the injured had to be treated outdoors so nine was going to pray and the mosque gate collapsed on top of him. and what we need us tens we have received some help from the government but we need more tense to be able to treat our patients. it's peak tourist season and nearly three thousand visitors were evacuated from the gillie islands near lombok tourist panicked on the three small flat islands when

a tsunami warning was issued some were injured trying to reach safety including a spanish tourist who fell from a tree most tourists want to leave as soon as possible we decided to leave the island but i don't really know when i don't know what we're saying with that is what he should do or not so. i just want to get away from indonesia really. did tsunami warning was quickly lifted but the quake damage will take a lot longer to repair in just a few minutes this two story mosque collapsed into rubble people in long book remain in shock after the second earthquake in a week left many homeless help is on the way search and rescue workers are struggling with the extent of the damage. have you quitman needed to rescue or recover trapped worshippers has yet to arrive at the mosque some say they've heard weak cries from under the rubble but it may be too late step fasten al jazeera.

and i just found this interesting a reporter's notebook from and it goes back to twenty fifteen still very much relevant talk about overpopulation in indonesia it's a big problem it affects so many things but also means a decrease quality of life and in fact increased loss of life when indonesia has these quotes and it does have a lot of the video for you there and her thoughts in text have a look for yourself great insight from a veteran reporter in the region reporter's notebooks or in the more men you're. if you're with us on facebook live thanks for joining us we've got a bit of a preview now for you of the segment which is coming up on the grid it's about human rights in saudi arabia and also ahead the new winnie the pooh movie proves. bearable for china's sense of dozens of. we'll tell you why the president is not a fan of this lovable children's car.

hello again it's time to say what weather conditions across the levant and western parts of asia a generally fine picture there we still have the risk of some showers on the southern side of the caspian sea also some showers between the caspian sea in the black sea across the caucasus and eastern side of mediterranean generally looking dry and fine fine day in beirut there temperatures of thirty degrees celsius so you see the showers around the black sea still persisting is ahead on through into wednesday meanwhile further south patchy cloud across the radian potentially very fine temperatures in the low forty's for the most part here in doha we're looking at a high of forty three degrees they get enough breeze to keep the community values relatively low heading into wednesday not a great deal of change expected somewhat cooler highs of twenty seven and touchy low cloud crossed into southern parts of africa are largely fine picture chance a few showers for cape town for the press winds here but otherwise it's

a largely fine pictures ahead on through into wednesday when took in the maybe of their sunshine highs of twenty eight for central parts of africa so the showers quite a long way north across parts of sudan chutney share and then further towards the west also looking quite sharing bamako mali could be quite wet you're in the course of tuesday but it should be dry in akron ghana on also in lagos nigeria. every armed attack in europe creates fear and division amongst its citizens. stories of loss go untold. a sweeping association of islam with violence leaves european muslims facing the stock reality of being ostracized by the very communities in which they live love and moon the tragic loss of life.

troy civics and on al-jazeera. it's a story of survival. it's a story about how people look to live in such remote land by putting cheeky to the way it would be to cheat and how that instinct to help them recover from the financial crash i would continue as long as i can stand. this is a story about iceland. on al-jazeera. the arab. league.

headlines for you at al-jazeera dot com and what's trending the top story the trouble palestine shock of the century of soul by one bashar it straightened out a little bit earlier the idea. the united states recognizing palestine as a state and that's going straight to the top i don't know what's trending also more on that photographer who we interviewed yesterday he's since been arrested in bangladesh. and plenty more of the stories actually that we are about to bring you including that saudi coalition report that is what's trending for you this monday but i'll just say with the. tweet little old tweet has kicked off an almighty diplomatic spat between saudi arabia and canada the saudis of recalled

their ambassador their frozen all new business and will transfer thousands of their students elsewhere after a post from canada's foreign policy account expressing concern over the arrest of human rights activists the full story now with. canada's a bastard saudi arabia is on his way home to saudi say dennis for act is no longer welcome and they're accusing the canadian government of interfering in the kingdom's internal affairs as well as spreading misinformation at the. member so diminished studio for enough first has expressed disbelief like this negative a founded comment which was not based on any accurate or true information. the diplomatic dispute was triggered by the canadian embassy in riyadh tweeting its concern about the arrest of civil society and women's rights activists including summer but dawa the tweets urges saudi authorities to release them women's suffrage

political activists some are but he was honored in two thousand and twelve by then u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton and first lady michelle obama but though he was jailed after suing the kingdom for the right to choose her own husband freedom other person gave free her brother rice but we was sentenced to ten years and one thousand lashes in two thousand and fourteen for insulting islam through a blogging website for public debate others arrested by saudi police have pressed for the rights of women and the rights of shia muslim minority another woman was taken into custody because she's married to an islamic law scholar is absolutely ridiculous that the saudi authorities can and no one had come through with some sun limited reforms like the left and the driving bad but on the other hand over rest of their e same women who helped to bring about this reform since may we've seen more than a dozen women's rights activists arrested in what is an unprecedented black

crackdown the kingdom has just allowed women to drive for the first time and to attend sporting events and cinemas have opened after being banned saudi arabia is a major trading partner supplying ten percent of canadian crude oil imports canada listed saudi arabia as the second largest buyer of canadian arms after the us the two countries signed a twelve billion dollar arms deal four years ago china that was through. or can't stand on their armor and also. is a source of revenue for a number of universities. and in universities for various occasions critics say canada's allies must help in taking a stand to pressure the kingdom to stop its crackdown on activists calling for change poll chunder ji on al-jazeera. well hilo we know from the gulf crisis

here how quickly things escalate online here and it didn't get a bit nasty get a bit murky that happened to you though as this is being so much. the only way we need to describe this whole thing kemal is that it was an all out on line wall a tsunami of tweets a coming out of saudi arabia furious about the notion that canada is interfering in its affairs like this cartoon shared by some sorry the president of the saudi american public relations offensive committee it depicts canada's prime minister justin trudeau as pinocchio and says he's broken all diplomatic conventions now others pick on canada for its social problems saying well homelessness is a big problem then it doesn't exist in saudi arabia because the kingdom knows how to look after its people and then you had other tweets this one is quite interesting some of these where they target the hugely divisive issue it taking place in canada at the moment and this is about it's indigenous people and

independence for the french speaking province of quebec but you don't need to look too closely to see that the posts are basically carbon copies of each other which means that they're being spewed out by saudi bots or to make to the accounts and to is currently on a mission right now to delete spam accounts like these and then on the other side all verified uses that are sticking up for canada political commentator harry leslie smith says when canada fights for the rights of dissidents inside arabia they totalitarian government phrases trade and recalls of our ambassador make no mistake saudi is more of a danger than iran to peace in the region and then had ken roth seeking it up shortly it's coming up in a minute from human rights watch he says that the reformist saudi crown prince wants to use his oil clout to return to the truck the lights era meaning prehistoric times when. criticism for human rights abuse was considered an

looking at yemen now where again and again over the past two years the saudi emirate of the military coalition has talked up its decisive victories against al qaeda fighters now yes they've definitely taken back territory i've got the who controls what what map of yemen to look at now this is going back to july twenty seventh it's about a year ago all the blue areas of the al qaeda areas and then if we just fast forward about six months or so look how much of those blue areas have shrunk down and gone back into government slash saudi immorality control so it's definitely happened but according to the associated press there is something they didn't mention many of those congress actually came without firing a shot this is an investigation from the a.p. which is from the coalition cut secret deals with al qaeda it's yemeni branch of course i q.a.p. in the arabian peninsula these deals included paying fines has to leave key cities and towns some were even allowed to keep their weapons and large sums of seized money hundreds more were recruited to join the coalition which has been fighting in

support of yemen's government since intervening back in twenty fifteen what we spoke to a little bit earlier is a young political analyst who told us the situation's a little more complicated than perhaps the a.p. investigation suggests have a look. one of the issues is that the pieces over simplify it is a little bit of a more complicated more complicated situation. for tribal communities and local communities it is not a bad idea to reach local deal because that prevents the talent in the city from from being destroyed or you know a living in living in and you know kill or scale conflict so whereas whenever there that's possible they will try to encourage actually reaching these kind of. but it's not. as simple as just there were that happening behind closed doors and they're happening all over the all over the

country al qaeda itself have assassinated and committed suicide attacks against government officials and the military officials who are backed by the south in an audition so it's a little bit more complicated than it is and i would just add that the associated press mentioned in mexico the new president elect of promised a different way of dealing with organized crime i'm going to manuel lopez obrador believes pulling people out of poverty is what will keep them out of jails later on in life now he has his supporters and they include a former gang member who is becoming a state congressman from home and went to meet him the new local congressman from san luis mexico to meet his constituents is unlike any politician may seem before a child will burn the street kids just like them make good. for some pedophile kelly sally's nickname there me he's is a blueprint for the incoming government on how they can rescue young people drawn

to crime his body's a patchwork of tattoos and knife cuts product of a life of violence and drug addiction until he hit bottom and my grandma my mother was sick with kidney failure they called me and i was drinking with my crew thinking tomorrow should be ok and she died and i didn't get to say goodbye and to kill the pain i jumped in front of cars i tried to hang myself from a tree in my garden i was taking cocaine all the time i was twenty four years old that was the turning point he sought help a christian mentor who gave him his first job he in turn says he gained a faith and a mission to help san luis is young and marginalized but when i realized there aren't public policies for the young and there are lots of them like me who didn't get to choose where they live children with dreams stopped just like me i wanted to be an actor so i started to campaign for space for them to try and reduce the fights between gangs. formed an association an organized football tournament

stances work programs hundreds of gang members turned up to broker peace deals between them. i see him as an example to follow that you can come from the barrio and still manage to become someone now he's heading to the local congress not everyone's pleased many criticize his criminal past and doubt his reform he says he's received threats and was even briefly kidnapped but he says he can't let down those in the city's gangs know his approach chimes with incoming president and today's manuel lopez obrador nationwide plans beilenson mexico's record levels and the incoming administration says the strategy has to change rather than just confronting those drawn to organized crime they say that young people need to be offered other options. controversially that includes an amnesty for some low level gang members only he supports and so far his base seems to follow him but they have

a warning. when you see a moment just don't lose sight of who you are remember it's better to be remembered as a good person than to have a street named after you and i think that's the test for me he's and the rest of the incoming government who they bring the social change they promise will succumb to their newfound political power john home and. so on luis potosi let's talk about winnie the pooh now so we vote to most of us he is just a lovable character from a beloved children's book in china though he has become an enemy of the state which is why disney's new film adaptation called christopher robin there is security it's going to be banned there he is going to give us some more background in a moment but basically the the ruling communist party sees the honey loving bear as a symbol of resistance. because of some shall we say unflattering means comparing him to president xi jinping which were previously shared on social media some to do

with his tummy apparently if you search for winnie the pooh right now anywhere in china or you would get was an error message saying this content is illegal. well this all started in twenty thirteen when an image of g. walking with president barack obama was posted with a picture of pooh walking next to tango then and twenty fourteen a picture of g. shaking hands with japan's prime minister shinzo abbay was shed with a picture of pooh with evil as names like these spread far and wide the chinese senses fought back blocking images gifts and also mentions off the bat across the social media of people obviously outside of china have had plenty to say about the film being banned and this is a says it proves just how thin skinned president xi jinping really is but they could be a different explanation the hollywood reporter suggests that it could actually be down to the quota system that china applies to foreign films conky set at the t

four and that limit may have already been reached or send us your thoughts on the story because the hash tag aging is great the don't like when the per being dragged into global politics it's not fair it's just a movie far as here with your sports next the european art but its trappings ships around the world look at what the sport is maybe starting to suffer from a lack of star power first a quick look at some international weather. it

was really the person i would have told sport with far amount of what's going on we're looking at. old sports looking for new ways to market themselves because the athletics european championships are underway in berlin but there's a difference this time because this year it's part of an even bigger event seven existing championships are now being staged under one new brand so it's split up like this glasgow is hosting the aquatics cycling gymnastics rowing triathlon and golf while berlin as i mentioned is hosting the athletics. which is the highest profile event taking place but it comes at a time when track and field is lacking star power you same board has retired while

mama fara no longer runs on the track and said he now only competes in marathons and even despite qualifying for berlin twenty eighteen the four time olympic gold medalist decided not to compete at it as for the rest of the field two hundred meters women women's world champion daphne skippers is arguably the biggest name competing with very few world leading athletes in action nonetheless the organizers say they've sold over two hundred and fifty thousand tickets across the six main days of competition and possibly to recapture the mood of what was a very successful world championships in two thousand and nine barely know the bearer has been brought in as the mascot for the event well joining us now from berlin is athletics writer stuart. stuart thanks so much for speaking with us is athletics lacking a bit of doubt star power at the moment do you think well of course we

are missing more far bull but i'm really looking forward to this week's champion chip and clearly the two hundred fifty thousand ticket buyers are as well you know i think the people want to excitement they want races which are competitive and you know that was the one disadvantage of it in both he won all the time if you look at the hundred meter of men and women i really have noisy who's going to win which i think it's a great position to be and we do have our stars you know showman like randall develop the pull to silence a stadium when he's competing and of course that last for another not just ten seconds of it in bold. do you think athletics being part of the wider european championships was a good move. well i wonder to what extent those of us in berlin will be aware of that if you're in glasgow you for

towns to go to several different sports but here i think the people are in berlin for the athletics and i think we won't be terribly aware of what's happening in school and of course this is a full program six days it's already started but from tomorrow morning it goes on until sunday evening and it really is full on so i think that will keep us entertained and you know because this is a team competition and the last four winners are being france germany poland and great britain and any of them could win it this time that will really energize the german crowd is their team is in the lead and of course all the others will be be trying to win as well. what can athletics do to make itself more appealing well i from where i sit athletics is alive and well. i live in the u.k.

and we had the atlantic's world cup followed by the diamond league that was four days over two consecutive weekends and ninety thousand people bought tickets for that and you know the athletics world cup was eight countries one of sleet from each country in each event and it was slick it was faster than a championship or diamond league jumpers only had four jumps through is only four throws and people knew exactly what was happening perhaps sometimes with say the diamond league. there's too much happening at the same time difficult for the spectator to keep up with everything so i think perhaps we need to reduce sometimes reduce the number of events that are happening simultaneously but i do i don't see i think the of one might say the reports of the death of a letter to someone premature ok stuart we are thank you so much for your time. now we get that leave you with these pictures that were splashed all over social

media as sunday's nascar race in new york turned into pandemonium and the pit lanes driver denny hamlin was a little too eager to get moving again and he took out various pieces of equipment and some have his own take crew. elliott also keeping his crew on their toes he was a man and hurry went on to win the race. as always you can tweet me directly at underscore is small with any of your thoughts and comments and he will be back with more at eight hundred g.m.t. for now i'll hand you practically all star thank you so much for that remember if you do want to get in touch with us on whatsapp is where you can use that number plus not seven four five i want to once went on good way to send us video directly a lot of you've been tweeting videos from bangladesh the hashtag has been great as much as you can verify that video for us pleased to see you back here in studio fourteen fifteen hundred pounds g.m.t. tomorrow.
