making life in iran a little harder the united states put sanctions back in place the e.u. says it's sticking to its word on the nuclear deal. hello and welcome i'm peter w. watching al jazeera live from doha also ahead thousands of buildings in ruin and rescue teams still struggling to reach some villages two days after the massive quake on the indonesian island of lombok. the messenger's under fire journalists are targeted as the bangladeshi government tries to end student protests. and saudi arabia puts even more restrictions on contact with canada after its tweet on human

rights. the squeeze on the iranian economy has officially begun three months after donald trump pulled out of the nuclear deal and to punish the country new sanctions came into force on monday night but they are only the first they target the iranian car industry food production and exports of carpeting they are likely to further weaken the iranian currency which has been losing value since donald trump announced his decision to pull out of the deal in may the iranian president says there won't be any new talks unless things change circulate have them trust the person who has abandoned because the asians 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 that well the twenty fifteen deal was agreed by the u.s. iran china russia and the e.u.

countries in exchange for sanctions being lifted so iran agreed to curb its nuclear developments other partners say they're sticking to the terms this from the e.u. just a few hours ago. the deal has two parts it gives stops the nuclear program and the international community opens up straight and economic relations with it on this second pillar has to be maintained if we want the first bill that to be maintained and so far iran has been compliant fully with their nuclear commitments and there's more at the start of november they'll be more sanctions kicking in they will specifically target the oil sector and foreign banks that do business with iran it's just after eleven thirty am local time in tehran our correspondent zain busser avi is there for us is in what's going to space and how bad could this get do they think they're. well iranian civilians people who've been protesting people have been complaining about the economic circumstances for them

they say it's difficult to imagine how much worse it could get but the one thing that iranians often say here is that the value of their currency the rio always goes down it never goes up so people are worried that these sanctions will only compound the problems that they've already been facing in terms of the faltering economy but in a statement president rouhani appeared on national television last night in an interview style appearance he answered questions and he said that the country is not as weak as people may think it has alliances that were five other people he reminded the world that signed the nuclear deal in two thousand and fifteen and he is pivoting towards them the iranian government is pivoting towards dealing with them more he mentioned china several times in that address on television and russia as important strategic economic allies and he also applauded the european union's move to stand up against u.s. sanctions with blocking regulations of their own he also said domestically iran

needs to stand united to make sure the united states cannot bring it to its knees so he's asked the country for a little bit more time for the solutions that he's trying to put forward to take effect some of those solutions include changes at the central bank in leadership positions the head of the central bank was was fired and replaced two weeks ago the man most senior in charge of foreign exchange at the central bank was fired and replaced in the twenty four hours later arrested so the government wants to be seen to be cracking down on financial problems and today tuesday is when it's new financial policies being put in place by the central bank new regulations to try to bring the currency under control go into effect so the government is hopeful to have the support of its people a little while longer while it tries to course correct the country's economy and when it comes to that course correction could this have a slow burn effect we're seeing these reports for example of doctors and hospitals trying to unsuccessfully after trying to say stockpile certain types of medicine

because they've got supplies in the country at the moment but when those supplies run out there's no obvious place where they can get them from. well that's that's where two things come into place those financial regulations i was talking about that this is really at the heart of it what the government used to do is subsidize the sale of american dollars to traders and to other businessmen to import foreign goods and they were doing this ahead of the sanctions to try to get in as much of those necessities you talk about now what they've done is clamp down on that facility there making that less available it's still available for basic necessities like food and medicine but they've curve those government benefits for traders and many other forms and they're cracking down on people that have been abusing the system so far so there is a hope that they'll keep being able to bring that stuff in and that's where alliances that they've been doing over the last few months now donald trump's been hammering on this deal since he was a candidate for u.s. president so the iranians have been carrying out for many many months

a quiet diplomacy dealing with other allies dealing with partners signatories to the nuclear deal not including the united states and they've been trying to carry out bilateral diplomacy bilateral trade in and secure assurances from these countries leaders that despite the american sanctions that are being put into place that they will continue to deal with iran on the global stage and really there seems to be some reason for optimism today especially after the comments of the e.u. foreign policy chief federica maharani supporting the iran deal and criticizing the united states for pulling out of it thanks jane. well he described the twenty fifteen horrible can. here to this moment today. 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 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 donald trump has even indicated he's willing to sit down for to. talks with iran's leaders no preconditions no they want to meet only anytime 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 well as in basra he was mentioning in a conversation china was one of the signatories to the iran nuclear deal it remember and joins us live from beijing adrian any reaction from the chinese government so far. no not so far peter we know exactly where china stands on all of this they support wholeheartedly that agreement in two thousand and fifteen they believe that this is the best way to get iran to gradually reduce its nuclear arsenal now this is all very important to china peter because you know china buys more oil from iran than any other country

at something like eight hundred thousand barrels a day i mean china is now the most important trading partner that iran has it provides a vital economic artery to the country the crunch time peter is really going to be november the fourth that is when the united states will begin to sanction a rainy an oil so the question is what will the united states do to china or try to do to china if china continues to purchase iranian oil now china has i suppose one way of getting around this it could deal with banks that aren't really exposed to the global financial system that's to say banks the deal in the chinese currency as opposed to u.s. dollars that is one possible way but as we've seen in the past few months the united states government has been prepared to go after chinese companies that have violated existing u.n. sanctions like the giant chinese telecommunications companies ed t.

e that was fined very heavily and is still getting over those heavy fine so the united states has the the reach and the muscle to punish china if it wants to but of course it would open up a new front in the already widening deepening trade war between china and the united states and just to be clear adrian this is from a fiscal point of view i guess quite significant because despite the hot house in its own economy people say manipulating its own currency the yuan the chinese economy cannot take that hit not least because they've got this ferocious appetite for energy. that's absolutely right i mean china make no mistake about it peter needs that oil that it imports from iran because energy security is very important to chinese leaders because energy security potentially can have a negative impact on economic growth and as we know china's economy is already

starting to slow the trade war with the united states isn't helping matters you know what's happening with iran now could make things potentially so much worse adrian thanks very much. we move on rescue teams in indonesia have yet to make it to some parts of the indonesian island of lombok as the search goes on for survivors from sunday's earthquake at least two hundred thousand people have had their homes destroyed or badly damaged severely damaged roads and bridges well they mean is proving difficult for emergency crews to get around the magnitude six point nine earthquake has left nearly one hundred people dead but many more are feared trapped under the rubble. we must still be in trauma after three to six months i don't think will be easy to return to normal life we need to deal with slowly because we're really traumatized we dare not sleep indoors what's our plan for the future we don't know. but there's been some remarkable stories of survival

two people have been pulled out of the rubble a lawyer one man was trapped under a mosque that collapsed on sunday he was signed off to rescue workers used heavy machinery to clear the debris stop us and joins us live from on the longball island step good to talk to you again just get us right up to speed with the latest on the rescue operation. run out today seventy two days after the powerful earthquake hit the rescue operation is actively getting on now a lot of rescue workers found a lump on right now and they're on the case and somehow this trial right now is a big no or well a couple was a very odd the rubble that the wife is already it's on safer ground but let me show you what they're doing right now because you can see that the rescue workers don't really have the appropriate weapon to this rescue mission to concede that they're basically taking with them bare hands using some kind of stick they're using

a drill but they don't really have any meaning here you have here weapons that only barely make up that available on the island and if you house where right now there's another a mosque where around twenty people seem to have been buried trapped under the rubble that's also where this man was rescued today that's where the happy appointment is ad right now but here it's just a manual basically from the smile the location where i i am now we can actually come close that probably not alive anymore and thousands of people including tourists locals alike they've been relocated or evacuated what's happening to them . well there were initial oh i got off a thousand tourists still on the guinea islands and three small islands all along bob but the government had to adjust that pick of two thousand seven hundred which meant that they couldn't cope with the fact the way to protest that they saw this means it's going on still today they have to take a bus that was around

a one hundred so it's still on the island around this morning so deb actuation is still going on there highways in the area and a boat september reached the island that are pretty small trying to follow for the government also to take them out also a lot of people hundreds of tourists are still stuck at the airport because they want to move are they want to leave don't both and in the news as soon as possible there are extra plates for these people but building by car not and i'll step thanks very much. still to come for you here on al-jazeera including these stories . and the new one grim analysis in the brazilian i'm as a part of a campaign in this truce country to eliminate measles like polio.

few the they maybe there are one or two big sums deals running around and over the water this one spotted just off a small long punt a letter which is near the coast to an easy than it is to italy was entirely not and it is a fact of li a tornado over water we see quite a few of them to be honest that's really the extent of significant showers around the last twenty four hours more significant cloud is to the north that is a cult front and has been bringing cooler air through scandinavia briefly down through the baltic states as well most places temperatures to run the thirty mark nearly forty in a good part of spain still above in places actually in the southwest but that he stole easing has been transferred actually through france towards germany so the picture of a tuesday though with a few showers around in switzerland maybe remain here is increasingly warm attention in berlin i'll take you a day beyond up to thirty eight now we hitting record valleys again this is a warm call that's going out through from austria to germany to southern sweden as

well won't last much longer than that but it's there all the same temp just to the west have dropped a little bit to be honest come saxe in the picture of north africa apart from a few showers in tunisia is still dry. right.

welcome back you're with al-jazeera live from doha these are your top stories so far this hour new u.s. sanctions on iran have come into force exactly three months after washington pulled out of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal with tehran will target the iranian car industry food production and carpet exports and they're likely to further weaken the real the iranian currency but the e.u. which is also part of the deal has called on its companies to increase trade with iran. and indonesia rescue workers are still facing difficulties to reach some of the areas worst hit by sunday's magnitude six point nine quake two people have been pulled out of the rubble alive but many a few trapped under collapsed buildings nearly one hundred people have been killed and at least two hundred thousand people have been made homeless. human rights

groups are demanding the release of journalists arrested for covering student protests in bangladesh photographer and journalist alarm was detained after an interview with al-jazeera his family says he's been tortured to rights watch wants the government to investigate reports that he was beaten in jail students have been demonstrating for nine days for tougher traffic laws let's get the latest now on the crisis in dakar with our correspondent tom viet child return vs is the sense there this morning that the local authorities are now in charge of the situation. it appears to be for the time being i mean it's relatively calm but i'm sure they're starting one forgot that attacks on them for the last several days facially yesterday a bloody monday for four different universities not only were there pag by the police there were. unknown people along with the police to attack them using. tear gas rubber bullets. and there's also

a major concern in the city by the journalists because they've been very apprehensive about covering protest rallies because that been targeted in recent days very brutally at least dozens of them were just twenty minutes ago there was a big rally here in front of the national press club but the journalist gave government seventy two hours ultimatum to bring those to justice those who were involved in attacking the journalist otherwise they'll continue their protest movement and by covering protests we know dr sure who was produced in court yesterday he himself told the court that he was tortured by the david police detective branch police quote instead of giving him bay large sending him to jail allowed the detective police to take him back for seven more days of interrogation and of course amnesty international us human us by human rights watch and criticize there's an r.v. the government immediately releases a. major concern when you are booked under something called section fifty seven

i.c.t. low information communication technology law it's a non-bailable offense which is essentially if you criticize government figureheads figure along with government institution you can be detained without. without and without warrant is a major concern in this country this new law which has been for almost a couple of years now we'll have to see how things proceed in next few days i'm sure the storm having forgotten what happened to them in recent days so briefly if we assume that the authorities will not set free these detainees journalists could the immediate future turn into a flashpoint that will perhaps reignite the original student protests what going back a week or ten days now. it's a hard policy bill because it's an election the political climate is very tense between the opposition and the government and the students probably will protest

now more so because why would they attack this young student on an average age between thirteen to twenty one years old they're directed by and large are peaceful there were several incidents where the dead vandalized public buses but by and large it was a peaceful demonstration so that's something they will probably come out and protest that y. way or be attacked by not only police but unknown elements with the local media say pro-government student wing members who attacked them in the indecent days so yeah it's a serious concern in coming days what map and turn do you you think. saudi arabia state airline has suspended flights to toronto in an intensifying diplomatic row with canada riyadh froze trade and investment deals on monday and expelled the canadian ambassador it's in retaliation for the canadian call on saudi arabia to release human rights activists has alexi o'brian. among those detained in saudi

escaping economic and political strife has brought it across the border hope those two entities ill shouldn't be playing and we are the ones who play into spending so many years without but it's an aging population if brazilians are correctly vaccinated no migration wave would cause an outbreak in our country the north of brazil which has the highest number of venice way the migrants has been the worst affected. almost anyone else we spent eighteen years with no case of missiles registered once the first cases were identified and lauch we decided twenty separate the campaign most of the children was accelerated and now we're focusing on adults one child died here in manassas and four more in other parts of brazil thousands more have been infected the battle to keep me as it was at play is a constant one with regular vigilance and campaigns like this one to ensure that everybody even the distant remote is vaccinated. but the campaign is nationwide

eleven million children aged between one of five being vaccinated. for the generally smooth operation with only some resistance. i thought it would hurt four year old enzo in. the woods his mother like thousands of others had no doubts. that the outbreak hasn't reached south palo but i think it's good to bring him since it's a campaign to prevent the illness is not just about vaccination the brazilian authorities are also educating the children about the disease before but now hope they can defeat the good. my mouse brazil ivory coast president alassane ouattara has pardoned the wife of the former leader laurent gbagbo simone backbone who was one of eight hundred people who had their records cleared during a state address three years ago she was convicted of offenses against the states during a brief twenty eleven civil war simone was sentenced to twenty years in prison.
