but there is someone saying for someone is very red. meat you think it's how you approach it and i think it is a certain way you can just. banking on the power of the u.s. dollar donald trump warns other countries against doing trade with iran that he really poses sanctions. and sam you say this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up facing new charges malaysia's former prime minister is back in court in a corruption case. leading man for colombia the divided country celebrates the swearing in of its youngest

ever president. confronting a passionate community mexico's new president takes the fight against drugs to a town once known as the world's capital. talking up the toughness of new sanctions against iran and warning the world it must follow suit the u.s. president's taken the action just months after pulling out of the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal trump tweeted that sanctions were the most by using ever imposed and he says anyone doing business with iran will not be doing business with the u.s. adding i'm asking for world peace nothing less. despite trump's threats the european union is encouraging member countries to keep doing business with iran the white

house is counting on the power of its dollar to keep companies in its line i think ohio reports from washington d.c. . the u.s. plan when it comes to iran hurt the economy hurt the people forced the government to agree to change much of its foreign policy the policy is not regime change but we definitely want to put maximum pressure on the government and it's not just to come back to discuss fixing a deal that's basically not fixable dealing with the nuclear weapons aspect we want to see a much broader retreat by iran from their support for international terrorism their belligerent military activity in the middle east and their ballistic missile nuclear related programs all things around is unlikely to agree to still as the partners in the nuclear deal are urging dialogue we really just encouraging united states to start talking. in order to be able to find

a route forward the european union is trying to protect its companies taking the unusual step of issuing a blocking statement that says european companies should ignore u.s. sanctions but still car companies drug manufacturers and many other big names are leaving iran the reason if a company does business in the united states and then chooses to do business in iran well the u.s. government can basically cut them out of the u.s. market that is a much more important economic one government officials here say they will be watching closely and they plan to aggressively enforce the sanctions that have been put in place. still the u.s. is going this alone unlike last time the other major economies like china are vowing to continue to do business with iran and even though they technically will not be able to use the u.s. dollar the world's currency former state department official jarrett block says they will find a way to work around that and that will hurt the u.s. in the long. sherm the world's banking system is like a sewer and all of the plumbing runs to new york there's new laws of physics

there's new laws that says that has to be true it's just the way things have developed since world war two right now you've got the e.u. which is their economy is as large as ours you've got china growing to the point that they will soon be larger than us and if we abuse the power that we get from that central role if we capriciously apply sanctions without taking into account the national security concerns of our closest allies and partners we're going to lose that position. literally ministrations but in the power of the u.s. dollar is key to our economic growth all around the world around hoping that by the u.s. going it alone that will no longer be the case al-jazeera washington. iraq's prime minister says he's against the sanctions on neighboring iran but he'll respect them. we consider the sanctions on iran a strategic mistake and incorrect but we will abide by them to protect the interests of our people we would not interact with them all support them but we

will abide by them another of trump's battlefronts the us has announced the final list of chinese made products to be hit by sixteen billion dollars worth of new tariffs will take effect in fifteen days' time twenty five percent tariff will be applied to items from electronics to chemicals and railway equipment the us president has now placed duties on around fifty billion dollars worth of chinese goods in the growing trade war china has vowed to match washington's moves. malaysia's former prime minister has denied new charges of money laundering as he reappears in court it's over a legit role in the multibillion dollar looting of a state investment fund police say energy transferred money from one being into his own post in the count's last month he didn't charges of abuse of power in florence louis now joins us from the charges piling up against the duke browser

rebels defuse tensions with venezuela and curb the production of cocaine. today colombia confronts enormous challenges we receive a country in which more than three hundred social activists have been assassinated in the last two years illegal crops have expanded and they have done so exponentially criminal gangs increase their capacity yearly in various regions of the country and promises and commitments have been made with social organizations without making sure they are financed what colombians expect are solutions and not aggression i want to be the president that forges and achieves what was agreed upon and thinking about what colombia needs without falling into temptation of leading up laws. on man or paula has more now from bogota. event to gather the country's new president fully aware of this long list of challenges not least of which is the issue of cocaine production which has reached

a new high a record high here in colombia this is the. problem in the country really started skyrocketing about three years ago around the same time as the signing of the peace agreement between the colombian government and the revolutionary armed forces of colombia where the fart and what happened after this was in that vacuum left by the park in the territories that they controlled new armed groups groups associated with the fark is dissidents there are new armed groups opposed to the government have been fighting over control of these territories and that's sort of given rise to this illicit illicit crop production that has been seen in at least ten years here in colombia apart from that there's also the question of venezuela something very complicated for colombia venezuela is there but as well refugees that are there flooding into colombia as many as a thousand individuals coming into the country almost on a near on a near daily basis and there's also the question of diplomatic ties with venezuela we know that has not appointed an ambassador to venezuela signaling that that

relationship with the between the two countries is practically nonexistent but there's also you know these are all front and center issues for the new president but it will be presiding over such a politically divided country that may just be his biggest challenge to a democratic candidate in the race for a seat in the u.s. congress is celebrating even though he didn't weigh in danny o'connell lost by just under two thousand votes softer a tight race for the ohio seat that seats being held by republicans since the early one nine hundred eighty s. the election was being seen as a test of donald trump's presidency. john hundred joins us now from west of l. ohio so he lost but they still celebrate the wind john. well that's right the whip the man who has standing by me just a few minutes ago was danny o'connor and we expected him to come out and give

a concession speech instead he didn't he said this is still a tie ballgame so he is counting on them counting provisional ballots and absentee ballots and all those kinds of things but it does not look like even if all of those went his way he could make up the difference nevertheless he's calling this a victory and his people are even if he doesn't win by the actual vote count and that is because this is a heavily republican county democrats haven't won here that they've won one time since one thousand nine hundred thirty nine and that was the one you mentioned back in the one nine hundred eighty s. donald trump won here by eleven percentage points and he has just tweeted taking credit for what he was calling the victory of the republican in this case troy but by all accounts bulger's and should have won by a large margin typically republicans win here by ten fifteen or twenty percent and it's important to note that this is just. simply to fulfill the remainder.

of the last congressman who left and that only goes until january so these two same candidates are going to match up in november for the following two years that start in january so even if o'connor can she has here he believes that he can win that race so what that means is that even though a lot of money has flowed into this district in the recent weeks mostly on the republican side you can expect money to come from both sides in the coming weeks because democrats want to win this seat and twenty two others so they can gain control of the u.s. house of representatives so even if denny o'connor is not a member of congress as of tomorrow morning all tallied. he is going to claim that he can win in november and that he shows he can do so so the democrats are not calling it quits yet and they're still hoping to win at least the next race if they haven't won this will probably happen all right john hendren there. google
