victims of sunday's earthquake. it's just after four am g.m.t. eight thirty am in iran a new u.s. sanctions have just begun the first round of measures against iran after president donald trump renee go on the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal iran's president is accusing washington of waging psychological warfare the sanctions are likely to weaken iran's currency which has been in freefall since trump's decision but also blocked iran from getting access to american dollars and the u.s. has stopped imports from iran including food cards and carpets the sanctions will limited iran's ability to buy raw materials to like steel and coal as well as precious materials in november. belling clude measures

specifically targeting the oil sector on foreign banks that do business with iran can buy health care reports from washington d.c. . 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.

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 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 that al jazeera the white house. joins us now live from washington d.c. so this happens at a time of political division in the u.s.

domestic scene how is this playing out visibly those divisions. well once again the reaction to president trump's decision to pull out of that or a new nuclear deal is on partisan lines are many republicans in congress appear to support the president's action but a lot of democrats are strongly opposed to it so the fault lines within the u.s. governance once again becoming very clear in terms of reaction to this particular action among democrats the a very strong argument that in a walking away from the steel in snapping back sanctions which actually happened at this hour president trump is creating a confrontation and a problem where there had been resolution in the past one must remember too that j c p a way that was signed was done by a number of nations that wasn't a unilateral agreement by the united states with iran and one must also remember

that the international atomic energy agency has verified iran's compliance with their deal on no less than eleven occasions so critics of president contend very strongly that not only is he causing diplomatic damage the united states but he's also undermining the international order on which this particular agreement was based and how much concern is there mike when it comes to diplomatic isolation. a great deal of concern that is once again the criticism that one is hearing of president transaction from democrats in the house the argument very strongly that in walking away from this deal president trump is also turning his back on traditional allies who signed the deal alongside the united states in good faith at that particular time germany france the united kingdom all long term friends of the united states have a sensually being dismissed by the trump administration in terms of walking away

from the deal he simply refused to listen to the pleas of allies to stay within the steel they argument very strongly that this was containing any iranian nuclear ambitions and that in threatening to disrupt the deal once again you could see the problem of real emerging a problem that they had solved they thought through those long international negotiations that led to the joint comprehensive plan of action in the first place all right thanks so much mike hanna from washington d.c. where the european union is vowing to keep the iran nuclear deal together its foreign policy chief is calling on companies to do even more business with iran to counteract the u.s. sanctions. we are encouraging small and medium enterprises in particular to increase business with in iran. as part of something that for us is

a security priority i want to make this very clear because we're talking about trade and economic relations with iran because this is part integral part of the nuclear deal. iran is putting a brave face on all president hasn't rowhani says he can rely on russia and china to help the oil and banking sector. has more from to head on. if you were to construct a word cloud of president hassan rouhani his comments in 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 address the idea of new negotiations with the united states with the with the administration of u.s.

president donald trump the person who is 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 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. joining us is fired the a professor of world studies at the university of tehran good to have you with us how do you think iran will respond to these u.s. sanctions. i think if you don't use the sanctions iran has been under sanctions since the one nine hundred seventy nine revolution iran has been able to get around sanctions. since the beginning and iran has become a stronger. sanction the complaint that the u.s. has is that iran's influence in the region is too much and iran has big missiles which have the sanctions have put an economic strain on iran's economy haven't they we have seen protests in some iranian cities of people unhappy with the economic situation how badly do you think this round of sanctions will make the situation

for the average iranian. it's going to be difficult as a person through and they said we're going to have children or people that are going to have difficulties there are no restrictions on medicine but since we are going to have banking this direction and iran would not be able to pay for the medicine that it needs from outside iran is producing some of the stuff that that that iran needs for example ninety five percent of the medicine is produced a mystically there are certain types of medicine that it's upon from outside. so it's going to be difficult for the iranian people they are going to be people that may not like the situation they may have protests also which is you know you have protests in europe and asia and other places so this is going to be similar to other things that difference that the u.s. is actually doing something illegal in the u.s. congress can pass laws restricting american companies but they should not pass laws

restricting european and asian companies to do business with iran that's why they think these countries national sovereignty it's against international law and i think the sanctions will force iran's leadership back to the negotiating table or do you think iranian leaders will say hey let's just stick out this presidency that's already looking vulnerable domestically. you know what president rouhani said last night is that iran has been negotiating iran is interested in is all the issues to negotiations the only problem is that you have president trump sitting in the white house and he tends to change his mind every few minutes and then he talked about negotiations without restrictions you had the security of a sit down bill coming on television about an hour later and he had three major preconditions that you don't care and that's really engage in. conflict think. out of washington and they may want to negotiate among themselves to find that what

they want to do with you and what did you notice that it is towards iran and if you don't see here is a single voice from washington you don't may be able to respond to that iran negotiated for about sixteen years the end result of those negotiations was the nuclear agreement and the u.s. just got out of the agreement without any reason so people are more cautious this time. ok thanks so much for these are the there. thank you saudi arabia state airline is suspending flights to and from toronto in an intensifying diplomatic route with canada on monday riyadh froze new trade and investment in expelled the canadian ambassador the move was in retaliation for canada's calls to free saudi civil society activists have been arrested the saudis accuse the canadian government of interfering in their affairs a canadian foreign 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 staff 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. and savvy arabia has suspended student exchange programs with canada journalist stephen chase from the globe and mail newspaper says canada's education industry could be hit hard. 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 how big a major impact it's it's concerning people greatly we're talking about hundreds of millions of not more billion billions of dollars of revenue that they stand to lose and i think people are quite concerned about that here in canada i think ordinary canadians tend to see saudi arabia as a repressive. you know authoritarian 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. well still ahead an al-jazeera this is their play and people these are. a talk show host to cals president trump as a falaise banned from several social media platforms plus. i'm daniel one rim analysing the brazilian i'm as a part of a campaign in this huge country to eliminate measles and polio. from long flowing on in winds to an enchanting desert breeze. well apart from one or two shares around the caspian just also tearing which even very easily visible in the satellite picture we still talk about a dry picture here but that streak of clouds is coming out of the sights of pakistan and in toronto is a hint of i think

a change in the type of weather in this part of the world but for the most part we're still talking about dry and dusty and hot forty nine has been observed again insurers in the north secure way more typically the middle forty's for iraq and down through kuwait clearly it's cooler the further west you go but there's nothing in the sky which is watching dust but if the wind direction changes or the wind lightens as i think it will do down to the gulf in the next day or so she will see will tend to rise been remarkably low humidity this year for the gulf states which is unusual but forty two degrees north is grain is the hint is there all accounts are two u.e. and it could feel pretty sticky does it will find very much in the way shadows of the sea so all is different daily drizzles for about three months until after it is too southern africa should be dry and apart from a bit of use for writers already folding it is dry cold by night for some recently but by day we're still hitting the thirty mark in botswana. the weather

sponsored by cattle and he's. hopped into it when they're on line go to the chief call. over the inequality in our society today or if you join the sunset criminal justice system is dysfunctional right now this is a dialogue what does it feel like to go back for the first time everyone has a voice and allow refugees to be the speakers for change join the conversation and announces iraq. you're watching understeer time to recap our headlines now the first wave of u.s.

sanctions on iran has just come into force it's been ninety days since president donald trump formally withdrew the u.s. from the iran nuclear deal iran's president is accusing washington of waging psychological warfare so the arabia state airline this is spending flights to and from toronto made an intensifying diplomatic route with canada on sunday riyadh froze new trade and investment and expelled the canadian ambassador it was in retaliation to calland urging saudi arabia to free human rights activists. to return to our top story now the u.s. sanctions on iran many european companies have been forced to rethink their investment plans but some small businesses are choosing to deal with the reins rather than americans david chaytor went to chateau muan france where one company is doing big business with iran. the town of chateau ruin the valve the log dates back to the middle ages at first glance its streets in architecture my. as

a classic of the region but delve deeper and you come across a suburb that comes straight out of the us of a the biggest american military base in europe used to be housed here the former nato headquarters has been taken over by the french cosmetics company. there selling more than nine hundred thousand dollars worth of eye cream and moisturizer to the islamic republic of iran. there's a rising demand for its products by the younger generation both women and men and not just in to run but right across the country the president of the company proudly told me she counts hillary clinton as a fan and she will not bow to the pressure from washington to stop trading with iran. we have tried to value this risk and that has more people to a small company to. buy to want to. cost more so

why exiting iran so we go on. small companies like this one won't appear on president trump sanctions radar but they believe the european commission won't be able to defend them they know they're taking a risk it's a risk the big multinational companies in france dare not take companies such as total and purges citron have too much to lose the same applies right across the european union through a treat from doing business in iran could turn into a rout the idea over here is basically to suffocate the marine economy and to strangle its financial system so i'm not going to allow for anything that is going to enable iran to be able to enjoy a balloon of oxygen coming towards. back in the chateau rue the american flag is still flying above the bread factory called harry's a local entrepreneur in the town started the business after being intrigued by the squares of white bread the american servicemen were eating now it bakes around one

hundred thirty million loaves a year. the population is declining as young people move to find jobs the american sanctions meant to suffocate iran could also suffocate the town's hopes for the future david chaytor al-jazeera. rescue workers in indonesia have pulled a survivor from mosque that collapsed in sunday's earthquake on lombok island they have been using heavy machinery to clear the rubble the mosque is one of thousands of buildings that collapsed the magnitude six point nine quake killed at least ninety eight people emergency crews are yet to reach some of the worst hit areas steverson has more from. highland. i'm here at the field hospital the. hospital here. it's a small provincial town here on long block and you can see actually patients are being treated outdoors as we've seen around long nobody d.s.
