9:00 pm
that is the reason why a b. of updating the news. as it is this was a coming under the far reaching rock to end of conflict a lot of lies and there was a need to all know that some of. this was made in ninety five two thousand how long journey family to get in two thousand and five because it is government. the issue of and i gave it to get to. but we all piled on one from the community member that's what. positions have. been bangladesh because some people decided in the end doesn't have to tell commence what i'm going to get now that's a very thick leash question of a difficult question i don't think you'll get some but government i'm from the opposition but you will not get on even from the government because you want because they don't and i. do see is that we are signatories all bases
9:01 pm
already more that indicated that they're not really to get them back to having that it's not been a buzz but they've said it that it's going to be done a lot i noticed and you that be have that image of an indian illegal immigrant. who's. so it's not it's not going to turn but i would not like to addition it has to be the dominant the government must come out with the structure of the day should there not yet called all parties together all political parties all stakeholders together then the list is finally david what is the day out what does the government plan to do is something which we all have to put our heads together and the ball and one of the government of the big big must go all of it but they must involve all the stakeholders and find out a way it's not so league just listening to ok it was like i'd like to kill myself
9:02 pm
some time here i'm going to go straight it feels like the horses before the collar of cuts before the horse right now because the strategy is and then you get someone . you know you are it's a legal process it's the transparent process and in this one you could buy this you can go to india that's very important. it's a question of seeking them among them. illegally into india. you cannot stay here but india is for india or something for india and could decide if i was into a very legally a family a family law court a legal point it was really clear you know fourteen years of time is not something india is what not forty legal holiness now when i say that to me want to see these are people like i say that one more time because somehow i don't know who decides who decides who is an illegal immigrant and these are people who have embellished a semi schedule they have studiously generations you can actually talk people overnight from that from a land they call their own there is
9:03 pm
a process i mean that has to come into existence of migrant this in this context has government roughly has the government explain what is the procedure are they going to be sent to detention centers are they going to be deported and international law says that if they are citizens of the individual to citizenship you know it's a it's a state of dynamites are decided they cannot be sent into detention centers they cannot be sent to prison what is the game plan that. but what is the plan of action the indian government has with these four million people but they just saw no intention to take them on board. i mean i mean india has already played footsie with it with the ngo if you cheese i mean india as basic in just in your in just lined up actually india's entire intention because of the migrants i think the ruling government has really displayed no moral compass in the present day should you not expecting four million people to find a solution to a problem they have not been able to find over the years to find the next one month . between the very. very some must be some of the problems that we've really got to
9:04 pm
get there's i like i hear you all i hear all of them just do one of the times i can hear you very kind of. yeah and i think all of us barrie some don't have a problem i mean one thing i want i want to have yes this is from the perspective of someone who is just an average consumer of new car someone who has looked into the problem that i see these days a lot of people were talking about this whole issue of never been really been in the state of a have never really experienced the problems that we have peace we believe that it's opposed to natural calamities that a state that is opposed to a lot of other issues are going to grow into. the problem is that it's it's a continuous process the influx is it has been happening since nine hundred seventy one and it's still happening the border but it is still there and it's part of the important us to have people come in all the time if it's a million i understand like you know to do that and there's nothing to plan as to how do you put it in and that's something which i think it's beyond my capability
9:05 pm
to you know give a solution what i feel at this point of the game is that if my identity is that if i'm concerned first process that i would book what is to identify who is who you know i think a settlement dummy overnight on a land right next to me i would like to look good so i'm going to sleep on said our audience watching i mean look i know that you. are and so you feel that well cultural identity at risk because of all the people being in your state what is at risk what are you losing what you feel you're losing right now. the more the district that i come from the most indonesians i'm like i'm from i have my generation my generation of and you have stated that in that village we speak a particular dialect as a means of humans dialect we speak your particular language and we know all the different types of language the been spoken about when you see over the last ten to twenty years the number of people speaking a different dialect or a something dissimilar school will something that is going to cross the border it's
9:06 pm
interesting always keep settlements coming the one way is something that turns us and i think that's a very fast and very clear example of frankly pollen guards arkansas on the leading opposition. as an architect of the arab state arkansas and the manager to be done that sort of diction their generation forward there is generationally the loss of documents to agel by being ready so all these aspects need to be focused on that is not by science not for myself but of my family what was needed message that how do you have such examples where people who everybody knows belong here obviously not ambulances that the other side of the everything people who come on p.s.t.'s and namak got that you got them do you really know how stable after all they've been on your b.s. on your farms you know markets well it is our deliberations so you need to
9:07 pm
distinguish with that and ask a very direct question how do your best english document is one aspect of what we've got to do them document and then there's a legacy that all of that is not so easy for an illiterate person charlotte and let me give you a limited government of the day was here that was all some undoubtedly some of john coming right some kind of like teen let me just give our audience a example of the documentation from the government of the sun and these are the admissible document so there's a professor quite mentor has a list of documents here a second requirement another list of documents and pull. to remember obviously this will be in various different local language so people can actually understand it that is a lot for somebody to take on if they didn't go to school if they are having trouble or if they are even they just having to walk for a living but have time to run around to get all the documents i meet in just one month some go ahead which i have to hide. so core you.
9:08 pm
want to be legal. but in both of us our most outstanding us army. or somewhere i'm going to bring you up to date because i'm not going to do his you know i'm going to cover it for you right now let me show you something and then you can respond this is a woman who last week found out that she wasn't on the draft list so she potentially may not be a citizen of india although she's lived there not that have a listen to what she has to say go ahead let's play that. i'm extremely upset my health is getting worse and if i don't get justice my children will be treated as citizens of india if my name doesn't appear in the n.r.c. list then their names will not appear either. this woman is distraught some up to four million people may be in the same situation glad you know your family that is useless dog remember last time around i want to be reentering are those that have
9:09 pm
been brought up. in their name will be and are. very clear and if you want to know what is. being a good legal process. and it is only provided. you know what is that what you want your name will be of this model to insert into what i'm saying is really about what. they must be out of because we hear you very clearly now bill says this on twitter i'm going to put this to you ronna these unfortunate people will be victims of political games then they will be assimilated as a gesture of kindness and to show how progressive and welcoming india is so this looks like an appeal for seeds that there could be a happy ending to this and not mass deportations. well i guess this is i mean i could not agree more with the bill that at the end i mean it could be a situation where the indian government you know perhaps up a year later once said actions that it was say that we we have decided take everybody in our food and get
9:10 pm
a generous country but then fortunate because if it was something that the government was really concerned about the migrant status and about culture at the city of assamese it would not be using it as an election issue i mean that the president of the ruling party in india went to not going to be stationed with the provision he's talking about immigrants and immigrants in assam and how he has thrown out that money bangladesh even if it included traders then the prime minister and when he was about as you two thousand and putting he's talked to sentiment again when he was about to go for the election saying that we are going to try out every bangladeshi immigrant out of a sense then he also gave a bizarre argument saying that assamese and also as i've been called to make way for a bunch of the human greens i mean these are the kind of sentiments you are stalking in assam to create a kind of conflict at the end of the day had both gone to a communal game which you are going to use this is nobody is really concerned about the n.c.r. of migrants here among the have what we saying. yes plate agreed to a lot of point but on and as well as by one as put on the process that you know that has been
9:11 pm
a lot of issue was with the process in fact to be very honest my name wasn't included in the first of my parents' names were there my sister's names with it and i had to go to atlanta and i had to tell them you know what my sister was by going to meet on the list and my parents name and so it's a long process and it's yes i understand i'm going to go do you do realize your privilege here i hope you do realize that reality that not many of us privileged as you and how not many as i just did this i visit as educated belong to the indian middle class set up. there women who are cancer patients if you copy that behind what makes people tick if you show complete my statement what i was seeing is that what the but he'll be using white and speaking here is that i won the mission who identified this issue why why did it take so long that you know when only the final top of the interview was published and when we have when formulating let's take that into the decision to go for it the nation starts talking about the immigrant why wasn't this been discussed before why isn't it was able to maybe have a point to add to what i'm wondering that the have. we cannot label anybody
9:12 pm
and eagerly began at this stage we want to be expedient to where it gets added responsible political party stop literally to have illegal immigrants that existed because just because state better almost it is already officially but when the president of the only party at it responsibly and was going to legally because the court soil does get a license to stop calling them names to stop we didn't get my twenty minutes which can be a very dangerous thing if you should not we should really be avoided and then the politics stocks you know it's all there probably is that's not happening in the reaction from somebody else that something we could be to avoid and responsible political party some about but but but but it's a really really clear are going to try to be i didn't keep you up. language. being that people about them it's a question of to give them an interview that is not
9:13 pm
a good thing the hindu muslim non-citizen no i mean i'm not saying of them but you know i mean. that's what it. was a lot of time was and i think it was a young people on the modest about a movement which led to this and that was then i understand the sentiment as i read it i needed to find a heart. to say that this was exactly on the fly i said that let's all act responsibly. and let's not jump the gun. illegally. yes we should not be faced with this kind of. stops and then let the brunt of it let that any kind of office when it's going all right let's get the process available you know all and then also figure out what they want that this is prevented what happened then to those people who did not find it. on the other saw up on a bomb but i'm not a public policy but i knew a couple at the pub and you know pressure point some of the let me just ask. some
9:14 pm
of the hotel i'm going strong to what can you do after that so i wanted to is being published. saying three million people who are deemed to be not indian they don't have documentation what do you want to happen to them. so you must be deported it's very clear. you're not staying in india that's what i would have a are people do to get you some good if i'm not this is not what happened yeah yeah . yeah yeah i just don't want. to go by let's really going to mean i'm going i'm going to go home and i film is not dumping ground politically but let us. look up gun had gotten a little going about it not out of the budget deficit i love that you only could go in so early in the morning and get to meet some of the let me just put this let me put this point here what if you don't have your documentation you are indian you
9:15 pm
don't have your paperwork that person those people also be deported what if they said no no. not at all i'm telling you don't really. know you may be muslim very minimal dreamed up at the center of the egg well if you want to go by the supreme court of india is very important it's a little bit of course what we've got but it's. not what we're going to do than to give it. but it is illegal what are we going to bury you under what let me put this to you let me put it you've made a very strong strident point juana let me put this to you here says it's not a phobia and racism is a big problem in india the government is sitting and watching what's happening and taking no actions twenty nineteen is election should we be connecting the dots between what's happening and assam right now and the election next year well as i
9:16 pm
said this earlier family that this is this is never been issue about an ethnic conflict this is never been a an issue about the n r c the issue is about living a community as outsiders in the street does which the rich which the present day politicians with the prime minister his second in command of made it very obvious otherwise there was no reason the sound of this or the ruling party saying that they would repeat a similar exercise in visiting gold a neighboring state i mean and as as as as achievement of the ruling state in this think also that the you are in a week trying to start a civil war in india what do the countries according to you i mean this is a slum of will become it's a slum of a big not by intent but but top below that but muslims and outsiders are going to come and come to india and ruin your culture these are people who will be staying you for data for generations not that it is not at all she was. very got it i am going to call and i'm not. going to point the next sentence here but our

9:19 pm

9:20 pm
mountains iraq. this is al jazeera and launching studio fourteen here at al-jazeera headquarters in doha i'm kemal santamaria of into the new script with the u.s. sanctions back in place iran now turns to its partners who do want to do business with focusing on the e.u. russia and china three signatories to the nuclear deal or don't want to fall apart but a soul must tread that fine line between sticking with iran and potentially alienating the united states. and while we're talking allies and foes where all candidates friends of the day after saudi arabia accuse it of meddling in satan. and put an end to trade deals and direct flights they do look at what is perhaps not been such
9:21 pm
a huge international outcry and in a few hours colombia will have a new president but perhaps the biggest achievement of the last person in the peace deal with the foreign rebels is no longer a sure thing on their eve we could be live in bogota. and mccain in the hundreds and monitoring the latest online developments in bangladesh also days of violent student protests and a police crackdown. shows this in the hash tag aging is great. with the news grid live on air and streaming online through you tube facebook live and at al-jazeera dot com and iran is now officially back on the u.s. sanctions after being relieved of international penalties it was under over its nuclear program around now back confronting u.s. sanctions specifically while the rest of the nuclear deal partners trying to figure out how to limit their effect but every tuesday morning u.s. president on trump was and typically defined mood iran sanctions have officially
9:22 pm
been costs these are the most buy things actions ever imposed in the november they ratchet up to yet another level anyone doing business with iran this is the keep it will not be doing business with the united states i am asking for world peace nothing. in a moment we will start widening this out beyond the united states to the other international players that still do want to do business with iran said for the e.u. russia and china and how they might go about that but stop there with reaction from iran with intel the day after the united states reimposed nuclear sanctions against iran the foreign minister of another sanctioned country sat down with leaders in teheran north korea's foreign minister really young ho met iranian leaders in an effort to improve ties the timing of this visit is likely no coincidence iran wants america to know it has friends everywhere in a televised interview on monday night iran's president admonished america praised
9:23 pm
his european allies and asked his people for a little more time to fix the country's economy and that if you stay out of the unit to have emerged out of that and we need more solidarity we should be more united i'm telling my dear people god willing with your help we will get through this problem he mentioned china and russia several times a signal that iran intends to continue its pivot toward strategic economic partners to cope with yet more american economic pressure. and with the latest comments by the european foreign policy chief perhaps there is a reason for iranians to be optimistic. we in the european union. they didn't our blocking said it you're very much up to date. with this this is a legislation the european union has in place to protect european businesses from the effect of secondary sanctions of sanctions that the u.s.
9:24 pm
imposes outside of. mongering he says european countries are encouraging small and larger companies to increase business with and in iran saying a strong relationship with iran that helps to preserve the twenty fifteen nuclear deal is a security priority for europe while iranian see european policy as business friendly they say it hasn't yet changed the reality on the ground it's about time to start mostly sanctions will be imposed the harder the station will be for the people that don't want to satisfied. i'm so worried about my life future country and as a young girl i'm worried about my job there are no job opportunities and i'm afraid of losing my job the value of the iranian currency the reaal is still in shambles and foreign direct investment that left after the united states pulled out of the nuclear deal has not returned despite european assurances scattered economic protests across the country signal growing public discontent with economic
9:25 pm
conditions but the worst is yet to come in november more u.s. sanctions will go into effect this time striking at the very heart of iran's biggest source of revenue oil and gas zain. just to build on what zain was saying there and i've got a quick timeline for a graphic for you to have a look at here from al jazeera dot com you can see everything that's going on now sanctions on airplanes carpets caviar pistachios gold and cars sold in iran these are all industries which stand to lose following the reintroduction of sanctions but as a move saying that is just phase one we've got this timeline here this is the point we're at here phase one which is began august seventh twenty eighteen phase two kicks in on november fifth coincidentally just a day before the u.s. midterm elections so just what other countries choose to do will be crucial i'm going to talk to one of the honeyed about that in moscow in a moment want to start though in washington here is our white house correspondent
9:26 pm
kimberly halkett we saw the tweet from donald trump very early by his standards actually and in that typically defiant mood even saying he wants it's all about world peace basically. yeah but the overarching message in that was really a message for other countries essentially saying look we've put in place the sanctions and now we are cautioning you strongly not to do business with iran in fact not only was that a message from the trumpet ministration the president himself on social media but also by the national security advisor john bolton speaking in washington. network very we know donald trump loves very much and that's the fox news channel network saying in fact that he believes that it is now time for other governments to find alternative partners in terms of doing business he points to those oil sanctions that are certainly going to come into place in november the ones that could have a crushing effect on iran saying that he believes that other countries should not
9:27 pm
be doing business with iran they need to look for what he called substitute sources and also saying then really take exception to some of the criticisms we've been hearing in recent hours that this position of the sanctions is putting the united states at odds with his allies in fact the national security adviser john bolton saying just the opposite that maybe that is the case with the governments but especially when it comes to european businesses the fact that the u.s. holds the world's currency is giving the united states a lot of clout that certainly businesses are responding to the suggestion there should be other business ventures and partnerships and looking elsewhere even if the governments are not so we've got this fractured situation going on right now the diplomatic level and the business level responding to these sanctions the first wave of them this is just america first in action kimberly because we're talking about the fact that there could be problems between the u.s. and its allies driving wages in as you've just said but just doesn't seem to care about the sorts of things. this is absolutely america first this is something
9:28 pm
donald trump promise kamil on the campaign trail now following through he said on the campaign trail he believes the jay c.p.o. way that grima put in place between iran the united states and other world powers to limit its nuclear program was what he called a one sided deal and even though members of his own administration say that iran has been compliant and this is something that european leaders have said iran is compliant they believe it's still a good agreement they wanted here to it this is not only putting the united states in a sort of an isolationist position with its you and european allies but even with russia where donald trump a said very clearly that he wants to try and improve relations we've got a very strongly worded statement coming out of russia in fact saying that they are deeply disappointed in the u.s. actions putting in place the sanctions saying that you know history tells us pressure iran never works and also saying that it will take full measures to defend trade economic relations with iran so you're right this is the campaign trail promised coming to fruition but it is certainly isolating the united states in many
9:29 pm
respects with allies and also those that wishes to have better relationships with ok kelly how kids in washington thank you problems toto bill hamid in moscow maybe you can build on what can be started talking about there are the reaction from russia. well certainly russians russia's position has been the same. all along that it was against what was what was coming out of washington the statement that kimberly was referring to was actually coming out of the foreign ministry and apart from saying that russia was deeply disappointed it was also called on the international community not to jeopardize what it called this multilateral diplomatic achievement and the statement went on also accusing the u.s. of wanting to settle its own scores with the iran and of also wanting to have a protectionist. position when it comes to the world so certainly that
9:30 pm
is nothing you knew coming out of russia now what will happen next is probably what we have been seeing actually over the past month is some very high level meetings between the two sides certainly there was the eve of this summit between the helsinki summit between president putin and president trump well here in moscow there was a meeting between president putin and the left how many special invoice where will a yeti after that meeting mr way will i add to actually announced that russia has pledged to invest up to fifty billion dollars in the oil and gas industry in iran that russia did not deny or confirm that but after that there were also several other meetings including the minister of energy who came here to meet his russian
9:31 pm
current counterpart so then the relationship between russia and iran can you put it into a little bit of historical context context for us because it sounds like these are quite deep ties between the countries. well actually the relationship between russia and iran was primarily a political and military one certainly we've seen it unfold for example in syria over the past few years trade was quite limited up to ten billion dollars that was until now now these are two countries are actually both facing sanctions they both need each other and they both see that they they have a strategic allies now you have to remember that just after the two thousand and fifteen deal well iran at that time had preferred to make deals with the european companies so somehow russia was the plan b. i think iran has become more proud pragmatic now knowing that its only way way out
9:32 pm
is really to look a bit more eastward so is russia and china is a food sorry for goods program that has been going on since two thousand and seventeen we heard from the russian minister of energy alexander novak that that would continue even though we didn't hear from iran what it thought about that specific program so certainly you do see an effort from both sides to expand the economic ties that had been quite limited so far so certainly a mat a marriage of convenience between the two at this point ok thank you what a bill has made in moscow so aside from russia we need to look at who else is in play here according to the i.m.f. china the united arab emirates and the e.u. are iran's main trading partners almost twenty percent of iran's total trade is with china the second biggest partner is the u.a.e.
9:33 pm
making up close to seventeen percent and then in third not far behind actually those twenty eight nations that make up the european union sixteen point three percent of trade with iran the primary exports from iran of course oil gas petrochemical. for vegetables as well we should point out its main imports farming machinery vehicles cereals iron and steel the biggest hit though money wise i should say is likely to come in the airline industry about thirty eight billion dollars in deals has been agreed with and western firms but now the fate of iran's airline industries in doubt sanctions making it pretty tough to upgrade that aging fleet of planes which are run air as has so we've got to leave with us knowledge on us from washington d.c. director of the iran project at the international crisis group ali of had a comment from one of our viewers on facebook live kathy who said quite simply they are u.s. sanctions they are not world sanctions on iran and that is an important point for us to remember that if these other countries can maintain their ties and keep the
9:34 pm
j. c.p.o. way alive it's still got a window into the world that's absolutely right look sanctions are as effective as they have international support and as we saw during the obama administration sanctions started hitting the iranian economy really hard when the u.s. managed to get the united nations to sanction iran and then get all of its allies and even its rivals right trying on russia to join the international effort to squeeze the iranian economy this time around the u.s. is basically bullying the rest of the world into compliance and as a result of it even companies that will comply will do so reluctantly and there are many countries who would not comply like china or russia and as a result of it you will have a leaky sanctions regime that is not going to be as effective as the previous round of sanctions ok so the areas i want to focus in on the places like russia and china
9:35 pm
and the e.u. let's say that they keep their ties they keep in place they even perhaps strengthen their ties with iran then what you talked about the u.s. almost bullying these countries i mean is the potential for relations to fracture even further between the u.s. and those countries. so you have to put that in the wider context the reality is the trumpet minutes.
