generators to run their businesses and you can hear their sound all over the city frequent power cuts have affected almost all sectors and during these summer months they heat usually forces many people out of their homes families flocked to public parks like this one for some cool air. others sustain their cars for long hours just to use the air conditioners. solar energy is used in some medical centers though it's more costly looked on as you have been or be as has each baby incubators here operate through six power plugs the. power level fluctuations and switching from one power supply to another can affect these incubators and that endangers babies lives but the government agency that provides electricity blames the consumers in all sectors for what it calls excessive voltage

the smallest carpet means patiently toiling for months using tools and techniques that have been passed down for generations kartik put that in mind that this is what my parents did to my grandparents who are doing so i learnt from them and now i'm in this career i love this art when i'm not leaving i feel as if i like the carpet is just like a child to me i love it because this is an original persian art for the women in this workshop artist employees they take classes to learn the basics and practice for months. the best students get to work on the most intricate designs. but there is something sad about this job the closer these women get to completing a carpet the less able they are to actually afford one of their own creations persian rugs sell for thousands of dollars and some of the carpets made in this very workshop sold for tens of thousands and depending on the detail and materials

used such as silk or even string spun from gold a persian rug can sell for millions it's no wonder that in the business world carpets are a valuable iranian export second only to oil. but they're also an important part of iran's cultural identity in the two thousand and eleven farsi language film gold and copper a dying woman weaves carpets to pay for medicine and keep her family together. the script writer says the persian carpet was the engine driving the story and then having it i need. iranian and global audiences recognize iranian as a piece of art. it has been a little painful for me that the price of the iranian carpets has risen a lot and now it's on affordable to everyone in the past it was common for people to cover every corner of their houses in carpets. and especially sad irony for

carpet dealers is that the united states is their largest market and then the miracle proceed on the planet in america has put sanctions on iranian carpets but if you look at american buildings and family homes you see iranian carpets on the floor as i saw in a video i think even u.s. president donald trump's daughter has an iranian carpet in her room traditionally persian carpets are meant to portray the guardians of having iranian say the latest sanctions earn attack on the very fabric of iranian identity and an attempt by america to make trouble in paradise zain bus ride the carriage. is about to launch a spacecraft that will fly closer to the sunlit any of the previous space mission these are live pictures from cape canaveral the park a solar probe will collect data from inside that solar say the satellite is designed to brave extreme temperatures of over a thousand degrees speeds of seven hundred thousand kilometers per hour and the mission will last seven years. now ancient objects looted from iraq
