the city they're very interested in that global perspective that al jazeera provides. zero. hello i'm maryanne demasi this is the news hour live from london coming up iran's president speaks out just hours before the return of u.s. sanctions as sound rouhani says washington cannot be trusted. oh. rescue a scramble to find survivors after sunday's deadly earthquake in indonesia ninety eight people a confirmed dead. on which we're always going to learn by one going. to tell you cuddly bad or enemy of the state china bans and new movies starring

winnie the pooh. and sports a u.k. chorus for the one of cricket's biggest names is involved in a sustained episode of volumes imply a ben stark's is charged with a freight faces the possibility of child on. the program our top story iran's president has given a television interview just hours before u.s. sanctions will come back into effect has an rouhani once again accused washington of being untrustworthy the sanctions were triggered by donald trump's decision to pull out of the two thousand and fifteen nuclear pact which the white house has described as horrible where we live in tehran in a moment with more on what's being said there first though this report from kimberly help that. the united states says iran is a threat and it wants to punish the country's government by isolating from the

global financial system starting tuesday u.s. sanctions will be reimposed to target a range of sectors blocking iran from purchasing u.s. banknotes and trading in gold and metals like a. steel it will also limit iran's access to software and automotive sectors will blocking its ability to purchase commercial aircraft or trade in food and other goods this was a horrible one sided deal that should have never ever been made the snapback sanctions are part of a promise made by u.s. president donald trump when he withdrew the united states in may from the twenty fifteen agreement known as the j. c.p.o. a close u.s. allies like france's president emmanuel mccraw and germany's chancellor angela merkel remain committed to the agreement aimed at limiting tehran's nuclear program but the u.s. argues it didn't work and didn't go far enough. the u.s.

also argues the profits made from the lifting of sanctions is being used to purchase and export weapons in places like syria lebanon and gaza to support proxy militias and the state financing of terrorism. the sanctions come as protests continue in iran against deteriorating economic conditions but the united states denies the sanctions are timed to force regime change instead it says it hopes to modify the iranian government's behavior despite longstanding u.s. policy of no formal diplomatic relations with iran president donald trump has even indicated he's willing to sit down for talks with iran's leaders no preconditions no they want to meet any time they want this snapback sanctions are also just the beginning in ninety days another round of even more punishing sanctions targeting iran's massive oil industry will come in to effect can really help at al-jazeera

the white house. well let's get reaction from tad ron now same bus driving is that for us and the president has and ronnie has been giving a television interview and he seems to be conveying a message of defiance in response to the sanctions and. absolutely he had there were there were a few very interesting moments in his in his answers in this interview no it has to be said there's not a lot of new information there's not a lot new you can say the stalemate between the united states and iran has been going on for many many months but there were a few things that were very interesting if you were to do a word cloud of all of his answers i think the word china would stick out quite a bit he mentioned china several times no doubt an indication that that is one of the signatories to the nuclear deal and an economic ally a partner in the region that iran intends on relying on heavily in the future to

help sort of stem the impact of u.s. sanctions as they move forward and he also addressed the idea of speaking to donald trump and with sort of a smile a smirk on his face president hassan rouhani said that he would be open to negotiating with the united states and with the american leader if they were going to talk about the united states apologizing to iran and paying it back for all the economic harm it has caused by interfering in the country's affairs now that was certainly meant to be a sort of sarcastic way to talk about the idea of talking to donald trump but he also addressed the issue in a more serious way let's have a listen to what he had to say. the person who was abandoned because the nations is trump and his government and he is doing something which is against the iranian people against the interests of iran. if there was honesty iran would come to negotiation. what. the us sanction is contradict any intention to negotiate

how can you be honest about wanting to negotiate if you bring sanctions against children and sick people. so a very interesting line of argument rouhani is taking there what is the view amongst the public amongst people there in iran about the prospect of a new sanctions but but also that the possibility of talks with trunk which of course he raised earlier. well this this deal the twenty fifty nuclear deal the joint comprehensive plan of action as it's known has become an incredibly toxic policy of the rouhani government sold it is the cure all for the country's economic problems that is not happened the policies become toxic and the government that pushed for it and negotiated it here in iran has become deeply unpopular because of that now present us and rouhani in his answers also addressed some of the financial problems people are going through there are new financial policies expected to come in place to try to control the falling value of the

currency the iranian ryall and he also spoke directly to people and he said he knows that there are a number of people that are experiencing very difficult financial hardship and he thanked them and he especially thank them the ones who are not going out into the streets and protesting for their patients but yet we're still waiting on seeing what solutions this government can put forward to try to make their economic circumstances better all right thank you very much zain besser intact iran well i made my g.d.r. is the director of the iran observe project at the middle east institute joins us now from washington so as you were hearing from saying these sanctions come at a time when the current c. is suffering it's been weakening that's pushed up food prices by some fifty percent unemployment is on the rise as well how much damage will these sanctions do to the economy and iran. the u.s.

withdrawal from the nuclear deal had already undermined the iranian economy we've seen over the recent months the iranian currency has been on freefall and has been soaring unemployment has been increasing a most importantly people have lost hope in anticipation of the sanctions a lot of. business people they have transferred their assets and capital abroad so that's why the economic situation has all already been deterred but with the reinstatement of sanctions think will probably get worse because. many major international banks and companies have already or their activities in iran. sanctions are coming back or more well withdraw from the run and market. although the europeans are trying to hold the data on nuclear deal and continue to do business with iran but ultimately banks and companies do not listen to the

government they make their own decisions because of fear of the u.s. sanctions they would be very reluctant to invest in the wrong or do business with iran after this president hassan rouhani is speaking on iranian television at the moment and he is really playing up the relationship with china at this point in time even if there isn't very much that the europeans can do might the relationship with china particularly given the trade dispute that's playing out with the united states helped to buffer the iranian economy in some way. in the next three months the trump administration has given that window to. the countries that are on the wall to scale down their oil imports from iran i believe. most of the european countries as well as u.s. allies like japan and south korea scaled down their imports from iran significantly

however china and india will most probably continue to import iran's oil so that's why we see the emphasis by president rouhani on china and even in his latest trip to china in his meeting with president xi he tried to encourage china to continue business with iran on most the most important sector of course for iran is the oil sector and yet we have seen a great resilience from iran in the ponce have faced the pressure and the damage of u.s. sanctions before could it be worse this time round. it remains to be seen because ultimately the problem is the problems in the wrong it's not just because of sanctions it also has to do a lot with mismanagement and corruption which is endemic and islam are public as well. as the sanctions are coming back and as a trumpet mr ration is increasing pressure on the iranian government i don't see

any by the government any comprehensive plan to do economy. associated nomic conditions of the people. and their leaders talk about resistance economy that means that less reliance on their foreign countries more reliance on the domestic but all this is in the. undermined the private sector and it has empowered the evolutionary guards and that has come at the expense of iran in people's. economic conditions so that the iranian government come up with a plan to address these issues i think that this sanctions further mind the iranian economy all right well thanks for sharing your thoughts on this story with us ahmed maggi d.-r. director of the year in iran observe project and middle east institute china stance from washington. well now moving to our other top story this hour rescuers on the

government deployed its troops there leading to fighting with paramilitary soldiers loyal to the government. going to do is following developments for us now from neighboring hunted what we know about the situation there is the violent still going on no money in the violence top to also today although it broke out in the neighboring city of david all where all more tribesmen in retaliation for the killings all the people in good to go by somali people who have gone on up to the shoot out between the local police and the federal troops. targeted on businesses killing about fifty people now. the government is saying that they have to take these very rare us in ethiopia because the administration in the

couple of the somali region had gone rogue and was on the verge of announcing the suppression of the region from the rest of europe really lying or not in the constitution however the minister for communication to go to live t.v. just about an hour ago saying that federal troops and policemen have been deployed the government has political over and in the coming days that was called the process of electing a political leadership for the region how smooth is that process likely to be and in light of recent events mohammed. well not in the whole crisis of rules from the refusal by the original president to come to this only goes for full course and tension with the prime minister's office this according to senior government officials they say that his refusal to. office was part of the reforms the new prime minister is in the shooting in the

that's because a new film made by disney christopher robin in which winnie the pooh of course has a starring role will not now be shown in china no reason has been given china imports about forty foreign films a year and while that quota hasn't been reached yet no reason has been given as to why christopher robin will not now be shown in china now winnie the pooh's sort of got in the crosshairs of chinese censors more than a year ago that's when images started appearing online contrast ing winnie the pooh with president xi jinping there was apparently a physical resemblance the most popular meme photograph of all is one which pairs a picture of xi jinping and then president barack obama with another picture of winnie the pooh and his good mate tigger winnie the pooh has in many ways become

a symbol and unlikely symbol of dissent that's because loucheux bo who won the nobel peace prize and of course died in hospital more than a year ago was pictured holding a mug with an image of winnie the pooh on it shortly before he died it was a final defiant stance by a man who had been a thorn in the side of china's government for so long now while it's fair to say that censorship under president xi jinping has been getting worse during the past few years you know as a journalist you encounter it every day here in china there has never the less been some pushback juror in the past few weeks just last week there was a protest by parents outside. by the health ministry here in beijing they believe the government is covering up the true extent of a vaccine scandal vaccines substandard vaccines that emerged were given to

children for things like tetanus typhoid and also hooping cough as well as rabies but as we now know those vaccines were sub standard and then just a few days ago there was a curious essay that was published online it was written by a prominent chinese academic and he criticized president xi jinping and said it was time for the communist party to look again at what happened in one thousand nine hundred ninety when those protests ended in so many people dying he said it was chime for the chinese government to re-evaluate what happened in one thousand nine hundred nine and he also said it was time for the party to reverse its decision to end two term limits for president xi jinping president xi at the moment of course arguably the most powerful chinese leader since chairman mao still ahead for you on the program venezuela's health crisis spills into brazil causing

now government leaders in northern iraq say i still sleeper cells remain a threat but they also insist that a recent attack there was not a sign of the group's revival the attack on the kurdistan regional government headquarters two weeks ago resulted in the deaths of three gunmen and a hostage and i reports from our bill ahmed saleman isn't used to his five children seeing him in such a helpless state the police officer was a protector and sole provider for his family until two weeks ago he was guarding the governor at building the headquarters of the kurdistan regional government well a number of them though it was seven twenty two am there were kids wearing flip flops i didn't think they would do anything all i remember is bank. three men armed with guns and grenades shot silly and rushed inside they took three

hostages and killed one before being shot dead after a four hour firefight with security forces unable to move his neck arm and leg salema must be fed dressed and carried look on all of this was it's up to god i have to do physical therapy i hope i can get a couple of years. the security forces chief says i soul is responsible. their target was the governor of erbil and to kill as many people as possible in the typically busy municipal building no more thief on the side nice to lose in the towns of care group and mahmoud these are the places for sleeper cells now and where they have regrouped the security council of the kurdistan region says this recent attack is not a sign of an ice all revival rather it's part of

ministering the vaccines and clinics across the country the country's health ministry says more than a thousand people have been infected and five killed in a recent outbreak. in brazil's northwestern city of menow so one of the west's hit areas daniel tell us more about the government's campaign to try and contain the outbreak. it's a huge campaign right across brazil they're talking about vaccinating eleven million children aged between the ages of one and five i mean some regions here in numbers so in the state in the north of the country which has been particularly hard hit they're also vaccinating some adults the adults who want to come forward you haven't yet been vaccinated and they had a rather catered measles from brazil eighteen years ago they were very proud of that one of the consequences of the recent migration of many tens of thousands of venice whalen's across the border has been this recent outbreak of measles which

has spread not just across brazil but other neighboring countries as well down the saw south as argentina which parts of the population and most at risk. well children mostly and also people in there in isolated areas remote areas brazil is a huge country of more than two hundred million people so one of the biggest challenges has been to get to some of these outlying regions where people have not been vaccinated to make sure they have blanket coverage and they've been doing that with these health centers a big campaign to make sure everybody is aware of what's going on and to get people to the health centers and we've been so places in sao paolo and here in ma now where they have been huge crew queues of people parents bringing their children sometimes a little frightened by the needles to be vaccinated so this is the plan now just to make sure they have blanket coverage and so far it's only the beginning of the campaign still several more days weeks to go to make sure they've got that blanket coverage but they do seem to be well on the way to reaching everybody they need to reach thank you very much from the city of now stand brazil daniel shina. at least

eleven people have been killed and dozens have been injured in a spate of shootings in chicago over the last two days and he said blaming it mostly on gangs saying they use a large sum of crowds as cover to shoot indiscriminately gun violence in the u.s. city has been in the spotlight and president donald trump and his lawyer rudy giuliani have criticized the city's democratic mayor over the issue police insist the overall murder rate has gone down john hendren has more. tempers seemed to rise with the temperatures in chicago and this past weekend was a hot one and that made it one of the most violent weekend of the year the official police tally is that sixty four people were shot and eleven people were killed over the weekend these shootings are not random they are fueled by gang conflicts we know who they are and we continue to sell a message that it's ok to commit these crimes by not doing anything as

a community to shootings affected victims if young as eleven and as old as sixty two years old this is come to notice in your daughter there have been two major marches walking major thoroughfares in the city police say they will bring additional patrols and they blame gang shooting into crowds at major outdoor events such as funerals and block parties they say they will be patrolling those areas more but really it was a violent weekend but not even the most violent over the past few years. a sophomore in the story let's speak to reverend gregory seale livingston he's the president and founder of the social justice organization coalition for a new chicago thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us on the news hour first of all can you start by explaining why in your view we are seeing this gun violence. the violence the gangs they're all symptoms of

a chicago being a tale of two cities chicago is has been intentionally segregated when martin luther king was here we did our march last week to wrigley field to shut down make sure drive but i had it on thursday purposely because it was a weekday a business day rush hour a lot of palooza but also because yesterday was the fifty second anniversary of dr king's march through market park where he was hit and hit with the brick but again even then he was fighting against this tale of two cities because when you have a tale of two cities one group is prospering and the other group is being ostracized and basically having everything taken away from them so the gangs are a symptom of a group of people trying to get power and assets in an illegitimate manner with alternative economies and so it and the violence this is the the currency that they used to do that so how do you even begin to tackle legacy problems like this intentional segregation this tale of two cities that you speak of.

well you know rahm emanuel did not begin the corruption and i say corruption because we cannot continue to talk about violence and ignore the corrupt tree that produces it he did not begin the corruption or the segregation but we cannot allow him to perpetuate it either rahm emanuel for most of his administration has been sitting on a half a billion dollars of hud funds that were does designated to be used for low income housing and silly many of the folks in these challenging disadvantaged areas or people that don't know what their lives are like many of them don't have working toilets they don't have we heat in the winter time or running water in the summertime and that money could have been used to make their lives better and i think if people feel better they do better but he has a billion dollars to fund or a slush fund where he hands out millions of dollars he's doing downtown a million dollars a block but by the same token because it's fifty schools at one time and

destabilizes their hoods there you go in it's like you're surprised by the violence no we cannot allow this to be perpetuated right so then obviously he's not here to defend his his policies and specific things that he has been enacting but are you saying that this this has to be the responsibility of local government to state government because you know we see of the chump administration trying to kind of politicize this that blaming the democrats for this but is there anything the federal government can do what is the responsibility lie. i'll tell you what you know i can't swell but i were to wait out into lake michigan get caught by a wave and start to drown and a lifesaver came my way i would not look to see who threw the lifesaver to me i would just grab it and hopefully they would poor me end of it one of the things that we have to do is not to politicize this we need to remove the labels and look at the human beings labels don't say human beings are human beings say human beings

and we become so myopic that we can't see a person beyond their label that's even a deeper sign of a cycle spiritual socio economic sickness and disease that we must cut out and get rid of. right so then what steps are you proposing what activities do we know about the community level that might be taking place. well part of what's happening here a love of gandhi said gandhi said first they ignore you then they laugh at you then they fight you then we win right now to challenge the disadvantaged communities of big norte by the administration and so we have to find a way to inspire the uninspired which is why we are doing these demonstrations and to get out there and to make something happen because we have to redistribute the pain the anguish and the dormant hope so one of the ways that we want to create

more leverage to our demands in terms of economic investment on the south and west sides justice for police murder victims you know black lead anti-violence programs and also a repurchasing of these fifty close schools that were costing taxpayers of million dollars a day to maintain close is that we're talking now my colleagues and i about shutting down or hear feel because if you will hear the people in the ghetto cry complain you will definitely hear the individuals the big money people that are flying in and out of chicago and so if that's what we have to do then that's what we're going to have to do on labor day so we're still talking about that that was not definite all right well thank you very much for joining us today shedding some light on this story for us reverend gregory sailings livingston now mexico's new president elect has promised a different way of dealing with organized crime and drugs money alone has all but will believes pulling young people out of poverty will help cub the country's epidemic of violence for some a full make gang member and the incoming state congressman is an example of how

this plan could walk home and went to san luis to meet him. it's the new local congressman from san luis mexico and to me his constituents he's unlike any politician they've seen before a child will burn the street kids just like them make good. for some pedophile nicknamed the me he's is a blueprint for the incoming government on how they can rescue young people drawn to crime he's bullies a patchwork of tattoos and knife cuts product of a life of violence and drug addiction until he hit bottom and i know. 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 stops just like when i wanted to be an actor so i started to campaign for space for them to try and reduce the fights between gangs. he formed an association an organized football tournament stances work programs hundreds of going members turned up used it 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 reforms. he says he's received threats but he says he can't let down those in the city's goings know his approach chimes with the incoming president and those manuel lopez obrador
