duration the mistake has been made but only one part of it was kind of the whole interview and this mistake has to be corrected the value of the canadian dollar fell on news the saudis would divest from canadian stocks and bonds experts predict the overall impact on the economy from this and other measures will be small but the message is being heard far beyond canada's borders ultimately this really is not about canada or say canada here is collateral damage if you will or it's incidental to this issue saudi arabia is is trying to send a very strong and clear message to western countries to europeans in particular do not criticize a strong human rights or you will be penalized middle east expert best moment mani believes domestic saudi issues are at play i think this has more to do with a very useful diversion it's an attempt to make canada a case signal to the world that it's not going to accept international criticism particularly western criticism of its domestic policies and i think the chill

effect has worked because we have seen pretty much no western european country including the united states as well and terms of supporting canada so it really has had the chill effect on the international western world it's hard to gauge how saudi nationals here in canada feel about being forced to leave the country because many are reluctant to speak but we do know that hundreds of canadian muslims who are leaving this week to attend the hodgins saudi arabia are worried about how they're going to get home saudia airlines are suspending flights in and out of the country next week but have promised to find passenger seats on other airlines but so far no sign the saudis in the canadians are coming together to resolve this dispute christine salumi al jazeera toronto. iran's supreme leader says his country has got nothing to worry about in an apparent reference to the first round of u.n. u.s. sanctions they were re-impose this weekend more of june and november but for ordinary

iranian leaders are keen to stop illegal imports and promote made in iran goods it's part of an ongoing policy from the supreme leader himself to develop domestic production and to become self-reliant in the face of american economic pressure despite financial struggle iranian consumers care about quality and what name brands some turned to secondhand markets to stay in fashion on a budget others are buying a gold and ironically american dollars to keep their saving safe from the impact of american sanctions things such as tires are being replaced only after being driven down to the rim it's. and with the rising cost of replacement recycling is squeezing a little more mileage out of the stuff of life. hussein has restored old furniture for years he says he's part artist part handyman and his customers with an eye for quality can be unforgiving. my intention is. people want to keep your

originality for the worst because nothing new can replace something old another issue is high prices many products are not made or imported anymore so people prefer to keep things it is about the cost and iran price is the main issue the economic pressure has provoked more street protests recently but in a small corner shop in the capital art is being born out of the city. still to come here and. she's still got support why the ivory coast's former first lady is out of jail after serving just three over twenty years sentence. and meet the indigenous filipino man who's inspiring others by becoming the first of his tried to graduate from university.
