it will stop for a little while but in a month two months chances are tens of thousands will be back in the streets once more. still ahead on the bulletin spain and germany agreed to a new partnership to stop my grandsons in the border from shanghai ends on to travel across europe plus. i was. one year after violent protests from the u.s. city of charlottesville a much more peaceful demonstration to mark the anniversary. how the gulf is the p.g.a. in missouri should be happy now when there's still showers around quite obviously but they are tend to drift slowly south and sugar sells more in texas in the last

registered in spain will be refused entry at the german border and deported within forty eight hours. we want the solidarity of the e.u. and its members with this migration challenge that we are facing in our country but you also accept our responsibility regarding the control of secondary movements that are affecting in this case germany. if this bilateral agreement sounds familiar that's because it is it's based on the existing dublin agreement that was suspended by mrs merkel and twenty fifteen as a result of the refugee problems that year the german government has portrayed the deal as a breakthrough in the current immigration crisis a similar pact is also being made with greece and there was never any doubt that this agreement with spain would go ahead but spain has recently become the new preferred route for asylum seekers attempting to reach europe and there are fears that it will be yet another transit point for migrants to reach germany germany is

train and equip the opposition in syria so they can help push back these terrorists people in power investigates how the us supplies soviet style weapons to its allies through private company to spend the us government could wash their hands and say well we didn't know where it was coming from so weapon that was supplied by the us government may well end up being pointed at us soldiers yes absolutely we pick it up less than two months after the professional america's gone the secret pipeline to syria on al-jazeera. has some secret this is counting the cost on al-jazeera your weekly look at the world of business and economics what the first wave of u.s. iran sanctions means for iranians and companies doing business there also this week big oil and climate change what are the world's largest oil companies failing to

reveal about the future of fossil fuels. plus the economic stakes in the saudi can of the us back. so a first round of u.s. economic sanctions on iran were slapped back into place this week they're being reimposed because u.s. president donald trump walked away from the twenty fifteen nuclear deal with iran a second round of u.s. sanctions targeting the country's oil and gas industry will hit in november we'll have a report from same bus ravi on what impact sanctions are heavy inside iran in just a few moments but first practical hand reports from washington on what the u.s. wants to achieve by re-imposing penalties. 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 the partners in the nuclear deal are urging dialogue we really just encourage and united states to start talking to its partners in iran 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 term 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. we'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 could preciously apply sanctions without taking into

account the national security concerns of our closest allies and partners we're going to lose that position. the trust of ministration is betting the power of the u.s. dollar is key to all economic growth all around the world around hoping that by the u.s. going it alone that will no longer be the case. at the edge of the country where iran meets in iraq human mules have carried smuggled goods across the border for years rugged routes like this one in kurdistan province import electronics phones beauty products medicine cigarettes the list goes on it's dangerous work as smugglers evade taxes and customs duties. the illegal trade represents a fraction of iranian imports but with more u.s. sanctions imposed the government is cracking down on the groups controlling these routes. iran has land and naval borders with fifteen countries we could never close all the borders for seventy to eighty years now local people have been trading with

neighboring countries in the last two decades demands in the country have risen and the scale of the border trade has increased if you associate it to sanctions our government is against it and has made many obstacles for local people that are involved in it iranian leaders are keen to stop illegal imports and promote made in iran goods it's part of the 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 roof. 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. people want to keep the originality of the work 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 in iran prices the main issue the economic pressure has provoked more street protests recently but in a small corner shop in the capital art is being borne out of the city. we're joining me now from stuttgart is andrea white's a managing director and co-founder of u.k. based on our gent capital since two thousand and nine he's been in vising international companies targeting the iranian market thanks very much for being with us so donald trump has said that these are in his words the most biting sanctions ever our many of us will say that this is the kind of bluster that we've come to expect from the u.s.

president but just how hard will the sanctions hit the iranian economy believe this is certainly one sure president from by his. intense blood he is doing here and you see the damage is already doing to the iranian economy there we are. you there you still might get key which is not only of sector of the sanctions but also the way the government has a central bank has handled the foreign exchange situation it's landed them well charles in order to improve their you you have high unemployment you have companies leaving so low slides and the economy also president trump has also warned that anyone doing business with iran will not be doing business with the united states. who is he talking to here china or the european union and if he is would they risk their own economies by defying the u.s.

. would say his comments of from more addressed to europeans because the chinese. are more independent to the sanction issue they will continue to buy oil. india as well turkey makes noises saying they will stick to their own nation's them selves so terribly probably you could suppose from u.s. sanctions but definitely european companies have a lot at stake in the us look at war bennett said they aren't trekking starting out is not delivering mass. and lorries so. the issue is with europe again so what do you expect the europeans to do i mean if you were advising them what do you what would you be telling them at this point if you are invested in this area and yet lies company and the whole area but definitely

you have those who decide to leave because they are next on your approach pump and it's like siemens are the big companies who very much depend on the u.s. markets no question for them to leave then you have those who are probably less exposed they will try to stay and they do stay and you have others who see this as an opportunity to have no us expose your and. it will emanate transaction and to buy businesses in iran much depends what your exposure on. to the u.s. economy if you don't happen in iran is an opportunity if you have a lot of folks closer to the u.s. iran you're iran exposure can be a problem indeed or iran is already reacting to this they put in place. measures to emergency measures to stop the collapse of its currency which islam to record lows against the u.s.

dollar since the start of the year what impact is that having is it working the video only to say they started that on monday but sell. as we all know you can stand against the market and iran was trying to stand against the forex market and by not allowing foreign exchange to have your creative panic. there really are. to assert of its value and now by allowing foreign exchange offices again and releasing to subsidize. to bring the official rate and the market rate closer to go along so you believe that this will work because at the moment at this rate the country can't even import interest prohibitively expensive. what the americans haven't done you ran you know it's. been quite efficient doing it themselves so. they hopefully can repel and undo what they have done so

far and this is only the first wave of sanctions against iran u.s. sanctions against iran being told there's going to be a second wave in november which is targeting iran's oil exports and of course iran is boil rather is a is a big part of iran's economy what effect is that going to have made that is that their president. is having he wants to bring get oil explorer to kneel which is probably not happening as i mentioned to chinese will buy indians will buy and are already very large buyouts then any way versus will probably not have in the past and i don't see why given that they get sick you a she will get to be well into. that you. have to adjust again to the same measures you have skating event and the iranians are also rather well trained in handling same shoes andrea streisand thanks very much

for being with us thank you. all right still to come on counting the cost a pledge to stamp out colombia's cocaine addiction. but first the turkish lira has hit an all time low versus the dollar concerns about worsening relations with the u.s. sparked the latest selloff the currency has lost more than one third of its value this year analysts say concerns are growing as well the repayments on foreign loans won't be made for each credit rating agency said friday it is watching developments . now relations between saudi arabia and canada soured dramatically this week canada's foreign ministry had called for the release of a saudi women's rights activists with family in canada in a tweet and saudi arabia immediately drew its ambassador and ordered students and medical patients to leave canada to initially it was unclear how the dispute would affect the annual.
