i can't do anything else and. this is al jazeera. hello i'm daryn jordan this is the al-jazeera news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes re imposing sanctions against iran the united states opening salvo targets access to dollars and precious metals. of the person who was abandoned because the nation is his trump and his government and he is doing something which is against the iranian people against the interests of iran. the diplomatic route between canada and saudi arabia intensifies now the saudi national airline stops all flights to toronto. the desperate search for survivors rescuers on lombok island assess the human cost of indonesia's latest deadly earthquake. and

how we need is being put poohed will explain why china won't be showing the new movie about the bear but very little brain. now in just a few hours' time the first wave of u.s. sanctions on iran will come into force it's now ninety days since president donald trump formally withdrew the u.s. from the iran nuclear deal which is agreed with world powers back in twenty fifteen when iran's president has accused washington of waging psychological warfare that the sanctions are likely to weaken iran's currency which has been in freefall since trump's decision that also blocked iran from getting access to american dollars and the u.s. will stop imports from iran including food cars and carpets but the sanctions will also limit iran's ability to buy real materials like steel and coal as well as precious metals and then. the start of more sanctions will kick in and they'll

include measures specifically targeting the oil and foreign banks that do business with iran 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 a way 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 as it didn't go far enough. back to 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 press. 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 heightening tensions top european foreign policy chiefs are implementing something called a blocking statute to protect e.u. firms 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 kimberly help at al-jazeera the white house on 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 daryn certainly the refusal to allow them to use u.s. currency is going to have a major impact on the iranian economy as to will all those trade issues such as the rainy and made motor vehicles carpets even food such as pistachio also of major import is the withdrawal of iran's right to buy aircraft parts for example this particularly in the light of the fact that iran has just taken delivery of several new commercial airliners but it's going to get even worse in the event because the sanctions that are due to snap back then have to do with the iranian oil industry basically the u.s. will from that date for bird any nation to have any oil imports from iran at all a number of nations will of course ignore the u.s. injunction but certainly that's going to have a major economic impact on iran and mike what's been the domestic political reaction there in the u.s.

. divided very much along partisan lines as are most issues in recent months and indeed years republicans in congress apparently fully supportive of president trump certainly there's been nobody speaking out against him or his decision to leave that two thousand and fifteen agreement but on the other side the house democrats absolutely infuriated by this decision many expressing concern that the u.s. is also standing to lose its traditional allies such as britain france and germany who in recent months have been pleading with the u.s. not to walk away from the iran agreement and also now the u.s. action leaving that whole agreement in some form of adult we also heard from a senator democratic senator richard durbin who was one of those who helped draft that twenty fifteen agreement and his argument is basically that what it does is creates a problem where there was already a resolution so from democrats said at least this decision by the united states the

reintroduction of sanctions against iran are going to have blowback effect on the u.s. economically as well as politically all right mike thank you. for terror on is putting on a brave face in the hours leading up to sanctions being reinstated president hassan rouhani says he can rely on russia and china to help its oil and banking sectors same bus route he has more from tehran. if you were to construct a word cloud of president hassan rouhani his comments in the world 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 address 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 to 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. 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. let's bring in the go mortazavi she's

a journalist at the online news magazine iran international and joins us live now from washington d.c. how significant all these sanctions and all of a lot to work in bringing iran to heel. well the sanctions are significant and we should also forget that the main natural round of sanctions which include oil will be enacted in november but it's not just the actual implication of the sanctions it's all uncertainty that president reagan his policy has created for the market for companies and for investors since he came into office there has been this hesitance in companies who are already doing business with iran and the ones who are planning on doing business and we have seen that over the course of the past few months that companies are a lot of companies european and even asian companies are being hesitant or also talking about pulling out of iraq so it is going to be significant and also come mind now with the internal mismanagement in the corruption of the government itself

is just not going to be very. hopeful for the iranian populace coming forward and a few days ago donald trump said he was willing to talk to iran but to iran responded by saying no talks of the sanctions are imposed so where does this leave the possibility of dialogue do you think. well i think both sides have made it very difficult for this dialogue to happen it just seems like they're both trying to put the ball in the other's court in the other court by also creating a situation that makes it seem very unlikely for the negotiations to happen president trump his entire policy has been moving away from negotiations and diplomacy but then all of a sudden he comes out he says he's ready for negotiations even without preconditions that without preconditions part is what made it appealing to certain parties inside iran there was an internal debate some parts of the political establishment were talking about the fact that iran should go back to the negotiating table and try to resolve issues with the u.s.

through diplomacy but then it seems like president rouhani was trying to also put the ball back in his court saying yes we're always open to negotiations but if you impose sanctions if you've left the nuclear deal there is no way for us to negotiate with you basically also making it nearly impossible to talk sanctions to work though the why the international community would need to work unilaterally against iran but the europeans have said look there are sticking to the nuclear deal and certainly we know the russians and the chinese were supporting the american position. that's true president trump's administration is not going to have the success that president obama had he had an international coalition as you said there were u.n. sanctions there were european sanctions simultaneously he even had russia and china for the u.n. security council everybody was basically united against iran this time it's just the u.s. alone and every other party to deal russia china european even america's closest

allies are against him exiting but the political statements on the political front is one thing and the private companies and the actual practical economic steps is something else and we have seen some european companies as i mentioned and even some agent companies we've seen south korean companies and even chinese companies we're talking about leaving iran are stopping business it's of course not going to be the entire world market was dealing with iran is and is not going to be as successful and president obama saying shows regime but it is going to have impact on their own and economy and they go which is obvious thank you very much indeed for talking to al-jazeera. thank you saudi arabia state alun is suspending flights to and from toronto in an intensifying diplomatic spat with canada on monday riyadh for its new trade and investment and expelled the canadian ambassador with a move was in retaliation to tell of his call to freeze these civil society activists who've been arrested the saudis accuse the canadian government of interfering in their affairs well the canadian foreign minister is refusing to back

trapped in the rubble of a mosque it was one of thousands of buildings that collapsed in sunday's earthquake which killed at least ninety eight people but emergency crews get to reach some of the worst hit areas step has more from lombok. 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 of neighbors that women screaming but had no equipment to rescue when rescue workers arrived twenty hours later this cleaning 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 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 injured had to be treated outdoors nine was going to pray and the mosque gate on

top of him. and what we need us tens we have received somehow 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 from the gillie islands near. 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 either you know or don't know what we're saying with obviously what you should do or not so. i just want to get away from indonesia really. 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 while help is on the way search and rescue workers are struggling with the extent of damage. have you quitman needed to rescue or return for 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. joins us live now from a city that's on. just bring us up to date on the rescue operation what's been happening on the ground. well so far the rescue operation actually still has to start as you could see in the report at that particular mosque no rescue actually has happened what i do know is that it's not a mosque there was some heavy equipment presence and one person has actually been found alive yesterday afternoon from that mosque what happened was that the earthquake hit during evening prayer so there's a lot of concern that

a lot of people and bodies are still under the rubble a lot of mosques here in long there is a serious lack of heavy equipment so there's only one particular place that i've witnessed rescue going on that i'm not a lot of out of place as it was so. sad to see villagers neighbors relatives trying to find anyone on the street police military to ask them please send some equipment to this particular mosque or to this particular house to try to recover or even rescue my relatives even some sad voices were still being heard many hours after the quake but no equipment came so it's now more than forty hours after this powerful earthquake struck it could be far too late of course what about the thousands of people including tourists who have been relocated or evacuated what's been happening to them. while there were two thousand seven hundred tourists on the gillie island and they have been evacuated yesterday but

not all of them there are still people tourists stuck on these tiny little islands and of course there have been quite afraid because when the earthquake struck there was a tsunami warning and these islands are very flat so there's nowhere to run if high waves are coming in so that's why most of these stories immediately wanted to leave this island a lot of panic and a lot of chaos when that happened the government has sided goads to get them off the islands but it's not easy though the waves are pretty high there the boats are quite small so a lot of tourists are still stuck on these islands at the moment or at starbucks and step thank you. you wild fire has broken out in california burning hundreds of hectares of scrub in a matter of hours planes and helicopters are battling the flames in a tribute canyon that's in orange county people in the community of jim the been told to leave their homes as a precaution the army is sending troops to help emergency crews who are battling

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 an unlikely symbol of dissent that's because loucheux bo who won the nobel
