tide on london's plastic problem by bringing back water fountains. iran is bracing for the first round of u.s. sanctions to come into force following donald trump's withdrawal from the two thousand and fifteen u.k. deal but the timing couldn't be worse to her on is struggling to deal with a faltering economy the reale has lost half of its value since april inflation is high unemployment is getting worse and sporadic protests have been reported across the country and this is just the first round of sanctions access to u.s. banknotes will be blocks cause carpets and foodstuffs will no longer be imported into the u.s. iran will be blocked from buying and selling gold precious metals steel allen minium and cole and no more commercial planes boeing scramble to deliver an order if the new planes before monday's deadline round two of sanctions is jew in

november now those sanctions will block iran's oil sales and they're expected to do even more damage. well joins us live now from to iran ready a number of challenges facing the iranian economy how much concern is there over the reimposition of these u.s. sanctions. well what many iranians regular working civilians as well as government officials will tell you is that this date going into august sixth and the reimplementation of snapback this is just a matter of bureaucracy it's just symbolic and that sanctions have already been in place in spirit if not in name what many iranians have complained about all the while is that even under the obama administration under president barack obama who helped negotiate the twenty fifty nuclear deal iranians never really got the chance

to fully realize the potential of the merits of the nuclear deal they never really got to realize the benefits because either the implementation from this side of the signatories of the western countries they never really came all the way towards iran in terms of allowing them to access benefits and ever since trump donald trump the current american president was a candidate in the american elections he's been carrying on a sort of psychological economic warfare to scare off any sort of foreign direct investment or any sort of travel to iran or exports out of iran and so that's hit the economy hard already so it's difficult for people to imagine how much worse it could actually get we've seen the value of the currency drop drastically in less than a year it's have to value and we're seeing oil companies that were here conglomerates from europe multiple other places leave the country and take their investments with them as well as as as their foreign workforce now what it

government officials here are hoping for is that european partners the other signatories to this deal sort of stand by their word and resist american sanctions unilateral ones against iran as well as secondary sanctions of the threat of secondary sanctions against people who deal with iran and there has been a sense of unease in the country this year with random protests breaking out in cities across the country what can we expect ahead then from president rouhani when he speaks. yes of course president hassan rouhani the iranian leader is expected to speak this hour and what his government has been trying to do is sort of win back some of the the public faith of their people this this nuclear deal falling apart has been an increase has made it an incredibly toxic policy in iran and has made president hassan rouhani and his government very unpopular because they really painted as the cure all for the country's economic troubles president rouhani will be speaking soon we're expecting him to mirror the tone that his foreign minister

took earlier today a homage of odds are of speaking to journalists said the president could not be negotiated with but that iran was not alone and that there were still five other signatories to the nuclear deal and iran would continue to work with them here's some of what he had to say i get a kick out of clinical. no one believed that u.s. president donald trump was serious about dialogue negotiations with the rob all the threats and pressure had not succeeded in changing iran's policies yes the u.s. sanctions would cause some problems but we would successfully overcome them. now divided zarif in this in this address to journalist striking a very positive tone saying that this stage of crisis in terms of american sanctions against iran iran had already passed that by and things were going to get better and the fact is that many people in the country for instance the opposition protesters that have been taking to the streets to protest against the government's

handling of the economy for the last six nights they disagree with him opposition officials would also disagree with his assessment of the situation would many people in iran want to see is a change at the federal cabinet level and that simply hasn't happened yet thank you very much with all the latest from tatiana zain bass ravi well can really help it has more on the reaction that we've had today from washington. the sanctions put in place by the united states had been previously lifted under the twenty fifteen j c p a way or iran nuclear agreement put in place by the united states iran and other world powers to limit iran's nuclear program the united states arguing though that since those sanctions were lifted that iran has enjoyed enormous profits but that those profits have not filtered down to the iranian people citing the wave of anti-government protests but instead the u.s. alleges that iran has been using that money to finance proxy militias and destabilize the broader middle east as a result the u.s.

putting in place a wide range of sanctions that will begin on tuesday morning and will also take effect in the second wave in november the first wave targeting limiting the purchase of automobiles commercial aircraft limiting trade in gold graphite steel and aluminum even limiting the trade of carpets and food but it will be the crippling sanctions that will come in november that will have the most devastating a fact effect that is in fact when the united states will target iran's oil industry. rescuers only indonesian island of long still trying to assess the extent of the damage from sunday's powerful earthquake the second to strike there in a week at least ninety eight people are known to have died and a step vassar reports from long anymore might be trapped in the wreckage of their

a new generation of water fountains to the british public. earlier this year mayor sidique khan announced a pilot scheme of twenty water stations to be built it's part of a nearly one million dollar project to reduce plastic waste in london over the next three years they're being installed in shopping districts and commuter hubs and if they prove successful the project may expand the scope for expanding the extent of a ability of water for london as is huge we need to make sure that people have access to water and then not having to pay for it but the of the other benefit that would come would actually be in reducing congestion if you move water in pipes then rather than in plastic bottles that have to be transported by lorry you reduce the number of lorries on the road you reduce the road danger and you make your city streets into healthier and better places to be every minute one million plastic drinking bottles are bought around the world in britain more than seven and

a great start we certainly want to see move but we have very hopeful that people will start to use them and hopeful that more people will think of the environment and turn on the taps instead of turning to the bottle cap and stats on al-jazeera london. a quick look at the top stories now iran is bracing for the first round of u.s. sanctions to come into force following donald trump's withdrawal from the twenty fifteen nuclear pact access to us by blocks and cars comp it's in foodstuffs from iran will no longer be imported into the u.s. to has already struggling to deal with a faltering economy the reality lost half of its value since april tomorrow will see some financial. policy changes to try and salvage the value of the iranian currency go into effect but opposition political leaders and civilian protestors say that that's not enough we need changes at the federal level at the cabinet level to try and counter the impact of use u.s.
