a seized superyacht arrives back in the country as the former pm is summoned back to court. there we are here we go the new attempt to squeeze iran's economy has now begun three months after the us president donald trump pulled out of the nuclear deal and promised to punish it sanctions came into force on monday night but they are only the first they target the iranian car industry food production and exports of carpets they are likely to further weaken their run in iran's currency the reale which has been losing value since donald trump announced his decision to pull out of the deal in may the iranian president says they won't be any new talks until things change. that's 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.

all the twenty fifteen deal was agreed by the u.s. iran china russia and the european powers to in exchange for sanctions being lifted to iran agreed to curb its nuclear development of the partners say they're sticking to the terms of this from the e.u. . parts it gives ups their nuclear program and the international community opens up trade and economic relations with it on this second pillar pasta be maintained if you want the first build up to be maintained and so far iran has been compliant fully with their commitments well at the start of november more sanctions will kick in those ones will specifically target the oil sector foreign banks as well that do business with iran our correspondents in basra is there for us live in the iranian capital zain there has been a kind of a wind down period so people are climatized the idea that these sanctions will and

indeed now have kicked in. that's exactly right this deal has been breaking down for months since before donald trump was the american president he's been hammering since he was a candidate on the iran nuclear deal being a bad deal saying that he's america's man to negotiate a better one than president barack obama did obviously hear officials civilians alike agree on a few things but one thing they agree on is that the nuclear deal is falling apart and there is no way that they can negotiate or talk again to the man that called the united states out of this deal now going forward iranian. the regular working class iranian people really it's difficult for them to see how things could get much worse but of course the potential is there the united states' ability to exert economic pressure on iran has been a compound thing for many years and so people are hoping that things stabilize with

the help of russia and china and europe other signatories to the twenty fifteen nuclear deal but iranians are prepared for things to get worse there's a saying here the value of the iranian ryall always goes down it never goes up so certainly people are bracing for it but there is frustration as well we've seen scattered demonstrations throughout the country in the past week against the handling of the government's economy and so there is a great deal of criticism of president hassan rouhani for not seeing these things coming not seeing president trump pulling the united states out of the nuclear deal and not seeing the economy worsening in the way that it has but it has to be said in the many months that trump's been hammering on the fact that he's going to pull the united states out of the deal and eventually he did and in the ninety days since he did iranian leaders have been carrying out quite diplomacy without allies with russia with china with european partners with countries across asia to try and secure assurances from them that despite american pressure and since abroad his comply fully with the terms of the twenty fifty nuclear deal iran has been looking

for assurances that those countries will continue to trade with it will continue to deal with it and iran. as isolated as it once was on the global stage so there is some hope for optimism especially after the comments of the european union foreign policy chief encouraging small and medium businesses to do business with and in iran and maintaining those business links as a way to securing a security priority which is to keep the nuclear deal intact staying with that ideas in for a couple of seconds about isolation when this all kicked off what month of may three months ago now there were people saying to the iranian government look work with the europeans in effect forget about donald trump we can make this happen we can all stay on the same page is the iranian government predisposed to go with that and to accept it. well the iranian government is keen yes absolutely to work with its european allies president hassan rouhani in

his televised address in his interview last night on national television even applauded the european union for putting in blocking regulations that would in effect shield european companies and european individuals from secondary sanctions by the united states but iran you know has been making deals for a very long time and it is it wants to be clear on one thing rouhani in the that address kept mentioning russia and kept mentioning china so while it is still keen to keep its deal with the western powers with which it negotiated the nuclear deal intact it is still moving towards other countries towards russia towards china towards the east towards asian partners so certainly it's not putting all its eggs in one basket that is the lesson that president hassan rouhani has government learned from the devolution of the joint comprehensive plan of action the nuclear deal zain thank you. well just a short time ago a british government minister said the u.k. government with british companies to make their own quote commercial decisions on

doing business with iran the trump white house of call the iran nuclear deal quotes horrible can be healthy and examines how we got to where we are 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 metal 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. the u.s. also argues the profits made from the lifting of sanctions is being used to purchase and 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 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 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 european friends under the. american economy. you can no longer do. 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. rescue teams in indonesia have yet to make it to some parts of lombok island as the search continues for survivors from sunday's earthquake at least two hundred thousand people have homes destroyed

or damaged and the destruction of roads and bridges means is proving difficult for the emergency crews to get around the magnitude six point nine quake has killed nearly one hundred people but many more of it 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 have been some stories of survival two people have been pulled out of the rubble alive one man was trapped under a mosque that collapsed on sunday he was found after rescue workers used heavy machinery to clear the debris step bason has more now from permanent on lombok island. i'm at a shop right now it's a big store where a couple was a very odd to the rubble that the wife is already and it's on safer ground but let

me show you what they're doing right now in ice you can see that the rescue workers don't really have that appropriate weapon to do to rescue mission for something that they're basically taking with their bare hands they're using some kind of stick they're using a drill about they don't really have any like meaning here you're having a weapon that only very little of that available on the island and the u.s. house where right now there's another a mosque where around twenty people seem to have been very trapped under the rubble that's also where the man who was rescued yesterday that's where they have the equipment is abstract now but here it's just a manual basically and from the smile the location where i am now we can actually come through that probably not alive anymore. saudi arabia state has suspended flights to toronto in an intensifying diplomatic dispute with canada riyadh for his trade and investment deals on monday and expelled the canadian ambassador it's in
