colombian president. new u.s. sanctions on iran are in force there the first round of measures against iran after president donald trump rene exam the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal iran's president is accusing washington waging psychological warfare of 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 the u.s. has stopped imports from iran including food and carpets the sanctions also limit iran's ability to buy raw materials like steel and coal as well as precious metals in november more sanctions will kick in they'll include measures for civically targeting the oil sector and foreign banks that do business with iran kimberly

healthcare 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 you. u.s. sanctions will be reimposed to target a range of sectors blocking iran from purchasing u.s. banknotes and trading in gold in 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. 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 at 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 anytime they want heightening tensions top european foreign

policy chiefs are implementing something called a blocking statute to protect a new firm still intent on doing business with iran in spite of the u.s. sanctions prompting this stern warning from a senior republican senator. under these sanctions you have to pick between the american economy in the iranian economy you can no longer do business with choose wisely this now back sanctions are also just the beginning in ninety days and now the round of even more punishing sanctions targeting iran's massive oil industry will come in to a fact kimberly helped at al-jazeera the white house or mike hanna joins us now live from washington d.c. so mike it's a very divided political domestic political situation in the u.s. and one wonders how this issue is playing out along those divisions well

certainly it is a bi partisan reaction to this issue there are republicans within congress for the most part fully backing president trump and his decision to pull out of the iranian deal they agree to do you return of sanctions the renewal of sanctions with delight within their side of congress but on the other side democrats highly critical of this action the argument among many is that they are creating a confrontation where there had already been resolution great concern to among democrats as to the u.s. is standing in the international community given the fact that the twenty fifty mm deal was not a unilateral one between the u.s. and iran it was done by the u.s. and a number of other countries and organizations including the european union so certainly deep concern about the u.s. is international standing as a result of president trump's decision. mike when it comes to international

isolation how much concern is there there on that issue. well very much so there is a great awareness among critics of president trump that there are several strong u.s. allies who were involved together in forming there to rein in nuclear deal the united kingdom germany france the european union as i mentioned but also one has got to see this in a context of a number of international agreements on which president trump and his administration have turned their backs agreements reached with these selfsame allies in the past and the u.s. now stands accused by many of its one time friends and allies of actually written egging on the deals one must remember as well that the iranian nuclear deal was underpinned by international law it was it was registered and confirmed by the united nations therefore critics of president tram contend very strongly that

the u.s. is worded standing as an international player has been undercut completely by the fact that it turned its back on the deal without any good reason last point sammy one must remember too that the international atomic energy agency for the past eleven times has verified that iran has been compliant with the deal so once again former allies of the united states highly critical of president trump's decision and there's a great awareness of this among some in congress particularly on the democrat side are good stuff mike hanna in washington d.c. thanks mike the european union is vowing to keep iran the iran nuclear deal together foreign policy chief or that even more really is called 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. the trade that the european union has with it on compared with the trade we have war dwight is very little but it is a fundamental aspect of the iranian right to have an economic. advantage in exchange of what they have done so far which is being compliant with all their nuclear related commitments iran is putting on a brave face president rouhani says he can rely on russia and china to help the oil and banking sectors so imbecile avi has more from to her around. if you were to construct a word cloud of president hassan rouhani his comments then 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 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 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. so i do arabia state airline this is spending flights to and from toronto in an intensifying diplomatic round with calendar on monday riyadh froze new trade and investment and expelled the canadian ambassador it was in retaliation to calendars call to free saudi civil society activists have been arrested alexei o'brien reports. among

i'm referring of course to the expulsion of canada's ambassador to saudi arabia and let me be very clear with everyone here and with the canadians who may be watching and listening canada will always stand up for human rights in canada and around the world and women's rights are human rights this new diplomatic meltdown comes on the heels of calls for the canadian government to suspend sales to saudi arabia opposition parties and human rights groups insist canadian military vehicles are being used to crush political dissent the east of the kingdom the stakes are high saudi is the largest importer of canadian military hardware after the united states saudi air has now stopped all flights to canada and a planned visit by saudi students has been cancelled the message is clear keep out of what saudi says is its internal business or else.

rescue workers in indonesia pulled a survivor from a mosque that collapsed in sunday's earthquake and has 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 nine people most and sue crews are yet to reach some of the worst hit areas still vasa has more from. karl and a lot of heavy equipment is needed here it's a small island with not much equipment available normally but nothing seems to have been sand in that rescue and aid just on the way from the capital the military is bringing in all kinds of goods and also hopefully some heavy equipment but it's already forty eight hours after the earthquake struck so for many people trapped under the rubble this could come too late here at the hospital

the building is so damaged that patients are treated. patients are coming in all the time it's a big hospital so it's not only earthquake victims who are coming in but also out of people who need the urgent help they need to come here they have x. ray machines out doors they have doctors treating patients outdoors it's a lot better organized than when we were here twenty four hours ago but still of course people need a lot of how here not much has come in so if you had a lot of people now are coming back to their houses they have been on safer higher grounds for quite a long time so worried for the aftershocks that also been happening throughout the night with the shops people ran out or were still sleeping on the street many are sleeping outside in their cars not brave enough to go inside so people are now coming down from these hills finding their how whole houses completely destroyed so it's time now for the government to move in quickly with all the need and they get

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 because 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 this crane 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 those different daily drizzle for about three months until a fleet is to southern africa should be dry and apart from a bit of use for writers already folding it is dry cold by night for some and recently but by day we're still hitting the thirty mark in botswana.

discover the world of al-jazeera. the best films from across on the work of trying. to learn this is a multimedia but they're not allowed to be fresh perspectives and new insights. to challenge and change the way we look. i'll just. have this time on al-jazeera. you're watching al-jazeera remind the now of our top stories this hour the first

wave of u.s. sanctions on iran have just come into force it's been ninety days since president donald trump formally withdrew the u.s. from the iran nuclear deal france president accused washington of waging psychological warfare saudi arabia state airline is suspending flights to and from toronto amid an intensifying diplomatic grab with canada on sunday rearmed froze new trade and investment and expelled the canadian ambassador it was in retaliation to canada urging saudi arabia to freeze human rights activists rescue workers in indonesia have pulled a survivor from a mosque that collapsed in sunday's earthquake on long island has been using heavy machinery to clear the rubble of the magnitude six point nine quake killed at least ninety eight people. as a 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 reigning

ins rather than americans david chaytor went to chateau in france where one company is doing big business with iran. the town of chateau ruin novell the law dates back to the middle ages at first glance its streets in architecture market 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 ikrima 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 small company. but by two one a. cost so why exiting iran so we go on with 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 economy and to strangle its financial system to an end not going to allow for anything that is going to enable iran to be able to enjoy

a balloon of oxygen coming towards it. back in chateau rue the american flag is still flying above the bread factory called harry's a local entrepreneur in the town started a 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 shadow room. fired these ideas a professor of world studies at the university of to her on he says iran has always found ways to work around sanctions in the past. i think you don't use used to 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

you don't 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. instruments of power it's going to be difficult as persons rowhani said we're going to have children or people that are going to have difficulties there are no restrictions and medicine but since you're going to have banking receptions 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 good use them a sickly there are certain types of medicine that needs to come from outside. so it's going to be difficult for the iranian people or rights groups are demanding the release of reporters who've been arrested for covering the protests in bangladesh a photographer and journalist. is one of several detained human rights watch wants

a crop substitution program for rural farmers i the new president has also announced a policy that includes the deployment of unmanned drones. to spray illicit crops with a chemical herbicide life is a bit of a total buy and they are either naive or they think we are all just stupid enough to believe that drones will defeat the phenomenon of drug trafficking this is alex and he's a colombian senator and a critic of the proposed eradication efforts. the only way to stop the drug trafficking is for farmers and people in these regions where illicit crops are grown to be aided by the government and. for the government to have their backs. tell us like to exist at the fringe of the government's control business owners like when catalogs say without government support marijuana cultivation has become an important part of the communities. by cultivating in commercializing because now money then one way or another moves the local economy that's the impact i've
