human cost of indonesia's latest deadly earthquake. and how we meet is being will explain why china would be showing the new movie about the bear with very little break. down just a few hours the first wave of u.s. sanctions on iran will come into effect it's now ninety days since president donald trump formally withdrew the u.s. from the iran nuclear deal which was agreed with world powers back in twenty fifteen iran's president has accused washington of waging psychological warfare well the sanctions are likely to weaken iran's currency which has been in freefall since trump's decision that also block iran from getting access to american dollars the u.s. will stop imports from iran including food cars and carpets and the sanctions would also limit iran's ability to buy raw materials like steel and coal as well as precious metals and then. more sanctions will kick in and then include measures

specifically targeting the oil sector and foreign banks but do business with iran can get reports from washington. the united states says iran is a threat and it wants to punish the country's government by isolating it 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 aluminum and 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.

ally 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 as it didn't go far enough. back the u.s. also argues the profits made from the lifting of sanctions is being used to purchase an 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 don. 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 heightening tensions top european foreign policy chiefs are implementing something called a blocking statute to protect you firm still intent on doing business with iran in spite of the u.s. sanctions prompting this stern warning from a senior republican senator to my european friends under these sanctions you have to pick between the american economy and the iranian economy you can no longer do business with both choose wisely 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 my kind of joins us live now from washington d.c. mike so just talk us through what these new sanctions against iran will entail.

well it is the reinstatement of sanctions that had been in place before that agreement in twenty fifteen essentially it prohibits iran from using u.s. dollars that would put massive strain on the iranian economy it prohibits the import of iranian goods such as cars carpets even foods like for structures and importantly as well it withdraws the licenses for iran to buy air parts of aircraft parts this particularly significant as iran has just taken delivery of a number of commercial airliners but one must remember to a very important point this is just the first wave of sanctions to be reinstated the second wave will be reinstated on november the fourth and that includes a block on iranian oil exports now that would have a massive impact on the country and could also lead to a major confrontation with other european leaders who are polity to the nuclear agreement whether or not they will follow the u.s.

in not importing iranian oil anymore and mike what's been the domestic political reaction there in the u.s. . well as with so many other things within the trump era on partisan lines republicans in congress are absolutely supportive it seems off the president's move off is walking away from that twenty fifteen agreement but democrats in congress very different they have sharply criticized the trams move and opposed to the reintroduction of these sanctions one democrat center senator richard durbin who was one of the architects of the twenty fifteen deal he says what it threatens to do is restore conflict that had already been resolved he also highlights the fact that it's going to further alienate the u.s. from its traditional allies such as france belgium the united kingdom so certainly the impact democrats argue on the reinstatement of sanctions is going to in the end

of the u.s. both politically and economically are at my kind of there in washington d.c. mike thank you well terren is offering a brave face in the hours leading up to sanctions being reinstated iranian president hassan rouhani says he can rely on russia and china to help its oil and banking sectors are reporters embers ravi has more from tehran. if you were to construct a word cloud of president hassan rouhani his comments than the word china would no doubt appear as one of the most prominent the iranian leader repeated the name of this important strategic economic ally in the region several times no doubt an indication that iran intends on relying on its relationship with china more and more as it continues to face american sanctions and economic pressure in weeks and months to come president hassan rouhani also addressed the idea of new negotiations with the united states with the with the administration of u.s.

president donald trump and with a smirk on his face president hassan rouhani said that he would be open to speaking to donald trump if trump wanted to talk about apologizing to iran and paying it back for the economic problems the united states has caused iran by interfering in the country's affairs now this was one of the lighter moments of the television appearance but he also addressed the idea of a new talks new negotiations in more serious terms here's what he had to say. the person who was abandoned because the haitians 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. the u.s. sanctions contradict any intention to negotiate how can we be honest about wanting to negotiate if you are putting sanctions against children and sick people. in terms of practical steps that the iranian government intends to take to combat

ongoing american economic pressure dealing with china and russia as trade partners as economic allies as one thing he also applauded the european union for issuing blocking regulations to help resist the pressure of ongoing american sanctions against iran domestically president hassan rouhani also reached out directly to the iranian people and said that everything was going to be ok that iran wasn't as weak as people made the country out to be and that the only way to resist american pressure to keep the united states from bringing iran to its knees is to stand united in the face of that pressure he thanked people for their ongoing patience with regards to their financial hardship and he said that things were going to get better but effectively asked frustrated iranian people many of whom who have been taking to the streets in protest for a little more time to help course correct the country's economy well trees are passes from the national iranian american council he joins us now on skype from

rest in virginia so how significant are these sanctions and other like it's a work in bringing around to heel do you think. well they are quite significant in the sense that they will inflict significant damage and pain to the iranian economy in fact to a very large extent the impact of those sanctions have already been seen as companies anticipating those have already left the iranian market now whether that will lead to iran coming to heel as you said or. compromising on some of these issues is a completely different matter even the obama administration came to understand that the spite the sanctions they imposed on iran which were very very painful they nevertheless could not manage to get the iranians to compromise on lest the u.s. itself offered a compromise and thus far we have not really seen any such sign from the trumpet mr except of course for the offer to talk yet as you say trita donald trump has said he's willing to talk to iran but terran responded by saying they'll be no talks if

sanctions are imposed so where does this leave the possibility of dialogue then well i think we first also have to keep in mind that john bolton said exactly a year ago in a memo that he sent to the president this is before he joined us national security advisor that the united states should be imposing massive pressure on iran for the purpose of regime change while keeping rhetorical he opened the door for negotiations meeting essentially that the offer for negotiations would be an insincere one now where the trump is following his advisor where the trump actually sincerely wants negotiations is a different matter i do believe that negotiations at some point could be possible but i find it extremely unlikely that it would happen without the iranians also escalating on their end because the pattern we have seen from them is that they're not going to come to the table unless they also feel that they have leverage but the sanctions to work trita the international community would need to act unilaterally against iran but the europeans have said they're sticking to the nuclear deal and certainly the russians and the chinese would be supporting the

american position. without a doubt and this is a big difference between the sanctions that were imposed on iran before and the ones that are coming in now the european union is not only opposed to these sanctions they're actually imposing blocking mechanisms and threatening additional actions against united states the chinese and the russians already have made clear that they're not following it the chinese made clear that they're not going to cut down their imports of iranian oil so it's not going to be the same but at the same time people's expectations in iran are very different now from what they were a couple of years ago back then they were expecting tougher times and they were essentially preparing themselves psychologically for that this time around people were really genuinely expecting a much better economic times they were promised not as a result of the nuclear deal and their expectation have clearly not been met and the psychological impact of that is quite different she's a policy thank you for talking to al-jazeera thank you for having me saudi arabia

state airline is suspending flights to and from toronto in an intensifying diplomatic row with canada on monday riyadh froze new trade and investment and expelled the canadian ambassador well the move was in retaliation for canada's call to free saudi civil society activists who'd been arrested the saudis accuse the canadian government of interfering in their affairs well the canadian for minister is refusing to back down we will always speak up for human rights we will always speak up for women's rights around the world. and i do also want to say when it comes to the big dowie family. and stuff haidar is a canadian citizen and she and her family and therefore. merit special attention from the government of canada and a lot of canadian civil society has been speaking up for her it's something that we

do we stand up for canadians and their families around the world. puerto decision has more. candidates and 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 lot without the head as he often member the saudi ministry of foreign affairs has expressed disbelief by 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 activist 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 crack 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. meanwhile a saudi youth organization has apologized after posting this image appearing to show an air canada plane heading towards the c.n. tower in toronto it includes the arabic saying he who interferes with what doesn't concern him finds what doesn't please him the tweet since been removed let's talk

to stephen chase he's a journalist at the globe and mail newspaper he joins us live now via skype from ottawa stephen chase let's talk first about this controversial tweet saudi arabia appearing to threaten canada with some kind of nine eleven style attack but given that fifteen of the nine eleven hijackers were from saudi arabia the tweet seems to have backfired spectacularly i think people were alarmed when they saw the tweet but there is a great deal of skepticism about who is in fact behind tweets and it wasn't clear would be off the ship was later when it was revealed the fact it was a a huge organization in saudi arabia and they had. intended to portray the return of the canadian ambassador to canada i think that people calm down a bit and it was understood to be a a mishap stephen in terms of the broader picture i mean what started off as an innocuous tweet from the canadians about human rights has now grown into this major

diplomatic round with saudi arabia canceling flights to toronto expelling the canadian ambassador and freezing all new trade deals has the spots now spiraled completely out of proportion. i think the canadians feel it has they don't understand why. public statements that they made last week about the arrest of civil act civil rights activists why they feel that those to those tweets of those public statements they made were in line were in the same tone and nature of similar statements they've made over the past two years so they're not quite clear why this triggered such a response from saudi arabia and why it didn't in the past in terms of the bigger picture i mean canada does export some military hardware to saudi arabia but auto i certainly not dependent on saudi oil so in the grand scheme of things how big a deal is this well if you're talking about the relationship the saudi can

a relationship you know we're talking about a four billion dollar you know two way trade trading relationship beach year i think saudi arabia would rank for instance twenty fourth or twenty fifth among our trading partners so we are not major trading partners. the real the real impact though is you know these you know the saying all politics are local the prospect of the saudis withdrawing fifteen thousand saudi students from canadian universities is i would say having a major impact it's concerning people greatly we're talking about hundreds of millions of not more billion and billions of dollars of revenue that they stand to lose and i think people are quite concerned about that here in canada just a final thought from you stephen in canada that doesn't seem to have backing down the the foreign minister said canada will always stand up for the protection of human rights how will only wouldn't be canadians feeling this spat. i think

ordinary canadians tend to see saudi arabia as a the repressive. you know wealth or chairing regime and they're a bit surprised to see the saudis. getting angry at them and not only that they're a bit surprised to see this twitter campaign which is taking aim at some of canada's. troubled human rights record especially when it concerns the treatment of indigenous people stephen checks thank you very much for talking to us welcome bunch more ahead here on the news hour including sleeper cell alert iraqi leaders admit i saw remains a threat in the north plus. i'm done with one rhythm analysis in the brazilian am as a part of a campaign in this huge country to eliminate polio. and in sport one of the world's biggest cricket stars could face jail as this trial begins and.

president trumps lawyer rudolph giuliani called the violence a result of the democratic rule in this city but mayor rahm emanuel president obama's former chief of staff and a frequent oil of trump's describe it is a failure of morality all of us. know that this is not chicago. what we saw. therefore all of us who love the city and call it home. have a responsibility. to heal. our neighborhoods protesters against violence recently shut down chicago's iconic lakeshore drive raising awareness of an epidemic of gun battles that draws little attention downtown in the affluent north side because it is largely contained in the poor mostly black neighborhoods we organize the march right in the middle of rush hour traffic and we want to make sure that we we distribute the pain in chicago because on the south east and west

of chicago people are dying every day. not surprisingly the isolated weekend violence in the neighborhoods left the four day long a palooza music festival untouched downtown where one hundred thousand people descended on chicago's lake shore largely unaware of the bloodshed a few miles away john hendren al-jazeera chicago the saudi of iraq even a tree coalition's recent successes against al qaida in yemen have mostly been achieved by making secret deals that's according to an investigation by the associated press it found that rather than defeating al qaeda in the arabian peninsula a q a p the coalition has been paying fighters to leave cities and towns some were even allowed to keep their weapons hundreds more were committed to join the coalition which has been fighting in support of yemen's government since and since intervening in the war in twenty fifteen a.p. was told that one commander who was put on the u.s. terrorism list in twenty seventeen for ties to al qaeda is still receiving money from the u.a.e. to run his militia. as
