are the sanctions that will target iran's financial sector as well as its all important energy sector and this is something which the trumpet ministration has been putting a lot of pressure on other countries to go along with basically stop buying iranian oil we also heard from the secretary of state mike pompei on the secretary of the treasury stephen newton who said that more than seven hundred iranians will be sanctioned as well will be a number of iranian banks and other financial institutions as well as iranian airlines and shipping vessels all parts of the overall energy sector really to try to force the iranian government to change its policies to stop what the united states calls meddling in other countries affairs and creating a destabilizing environment particularly across the middle east and finally to try to promote the environment so that the iranian people themselves can to decide

whether they want to continue with the current government or choose what the u.s. hopes they would do which would be to choose some sort of democratic government again the sanctions are taking effect as of five g. on monday november fifth and the u.s. says that any country or any person that does businesses with does business with the sanctioned institutions that are in iran could face sanctions themselves or could be prosecuted so well it's well it's then that the trumpet ministrations top foreign policy concern there. well really the u.s. sees iran as perhaps the world's biggest supporter of so-called terrorist organizations it is says that iran is propping up the government of bashar al assad in syria that it is propping up the rebels in yemen which are threatening the saudis of course an ally of the united states they say that the iranians are

trying to continue developing nuclear weapons and so they say that under what they call a maximum pressure strategy they're trying to essentially starve out the iranian government of the money that it would need to carry out these actions now one thing that the u.s. says that it's trying not to do julie is to harm the iranian people even though reporters who were questioning pompei o m a nugent on friday were very skeptical of that impact because of this overwhelming pressure on other countries to not do business with iran it is worth pointing out that eight countries are going to get temporary waivers to wind down their well business with iran two countries have already stopped importing all iranian oil the other six are going to get a few more weeks to be able to was stop that part of the business but the u.s.

says that a less any sort of outside trade involves direct humanitarian aid to the iranians that in the u.s. is a view that trade is now considered illegal and that those in gauging it are going to be punished and they're joining me live from washington d.c. thanks ross and of course we're just hearing that president trump has released and need to eat you can see it right on the screen there looks a little bit like a movie poster sanctions are coming november fifth will be interesting to see if there's any reaction to the style of that poster. now the u.s. reportedly says that eight countries including turkey will be allowed to keep importing iranian oil when u.s. sanctions are imposed secretary of state mike pompeo said that would not cease the threat of u.s. it u.s. economic penalties but european countries would well that announcement was made after turkey in the u.s. lifted sanctions against each other's ministers in a sign of thawing relations between the nato ally cinema so low has more now for

monk or. there are actually two good news for turkey today one of them is lifting the sanctions over imposed over turkish ministers along with the u.s. ministers both sides by later lifted those sanctions plus turkey received a waiver on u.s. sanctions that are targeting iran which means that turkey is exempted from these sanctions as turkish petroleum is trading it with iran in terms of oil these are very good news and this was welcomed by the investors mostly and the turkish lira which has been suffering for the last three months is now performing its strongest level against the u.s. dollar gaining one point seven percent at least it today or of course these are not the only topics that that we can count as a positive development between washington and ancora we have been seeing that these two countries have been exchanging information over his murder case in

a very firmly diplomatic way plus we see that turkey and u.s. has has come to an agreement over. northeastern syria and turkey and u.s. have begun their joint patrols so this week is actually again for ankara in terms of bettering the relations with the united states. a quick reminder of our top stories here on al-jazeera the u.s. says it will be ready within weeks to impose sanctions on saudi arabia for the murder of jamal khashoggi of the journalist was killed exactly one month ago in the saudi consulate in istanbul us secretary sic my comp ale has announced the return of all u.s. sanctions on iran that were lifted under the twenty fifteen nuclear deal. ok

who made the announcement on twitter the u.s. was the first to make the controversial switch in may reversing longstanding u.s. policy that led to protests from palestinians around the world who want east jerusalem as the capital of any future state russia and china are being blamed for blocking international efforts to create the world's largest marine reserve in antarctica the weddell sea is thought to be home to thousands of undiscovered species twenty four countries in the antarctic commission to conserve marine life couldn't agree on making it a no go zone for fishing mining and drilling and thomas has more now from hope parts. the proposal was to create another marine park in am talk to go this time full of times the size of germany an area of pristine ocean protected from fishing boating drilling almost all human activity. the whale sea is an icy wilderness and one of the world's last marine protection would have kept it that way but in

hobart delegations from twenty four different countries with an interest and i talked to as well as the european union which led the pot proposal needed to reach consensus where exactly where the parks boundaries be would any fishing be allowed how reliable is the science supporting the need for complete protection how many decades with the protection lost for they couldn't agree after two weeks of talking behind closed doors the head of india's delegation revealed no consensus had been reached. and. the standing is not. unfortunately standing is not that much in twenty six the same delegates in the same building were able to reach agreement to create another marine park and antarctica. that one covering the ross scene was supposed to create momentum for more but an attempt to create one in east antarctica last

year failed the failure on friday to create one in the world del see the sense of gloom for conservationists and of course extremely disappointed that this meeting was unable to reach consensus it's been a campaign that really engage people and people want to see and talk to give or take it and to see it failing at this meeting is of course very disappointing delegates meet in hobart every year there will be more chances to create marine parks in future but every year that passes means what is ultimately protected will be a little less persisting. in the end i'm told it was a disagreement about the quality of the science behind the need for neighboring protect the area that led to the lack of consensus with two countries china russia refusing to sign up now in the past those thank you countries have come around to proposals that in previous years by the post but only after those proposals have been signed off by the highest level of politics in those countries the president's

the hope is that in time the same can happen with these proposals and the talks out of their program will start here. well astray as bond is famous is now all over the world for his son see sand and surf but it's also rapidly becoming a sensor for our every year almost half a million people from all over the world had to sydney's coastline for a spectacular exhibition of sculpture where we spoke to find a pond ice sculpture by the sea. i'm david handley on the founding director of sculpture by the sea in sydney australia in ninety ninety seven the exhibition was just a one day exhibition very quickly sculpture by the sea became what we believe is the largest annual sculpture exhibition in the world in terms of number of sculptures size the location i fled the corporate world in my mid twenty's i was living in prague and i encountered a sculpture in a wonderful sculpture park where sculpture was juxtaposed cited amongst thirteenth

century ruins internationally people didn't really think about australia except for the fact we had a rule iraq on a reef and probably an opera house and i have a bridge but that was about it and i want to create something that project to the strata both to itself and internationally is a more sophisticated and cultured placed to visit to live but also which was fundamentally relaxed like australia is i thought this is the art form look at how you could contrast sculpture by color by form by scale with something else a sculpture is meant to be exhibited outdoors and this place is perfect it's as if god in the local mayor got together to create the most perfect location for sculpture we could cite huge sculptures which we crane on to the edge of the straight and continent and just around the corner we can have something nestled among the rocks anyone in the world can apply to be in sculpture by the sea we have a curatorial panel go through some five hundred submissions are only requirement is that the sculpture hasn't been exhibited before in australia i love this exhibition

to have an idea that comes out of your head that so many people respond to an artist's around the world respond to is very special the first seven years were very very tough we now have some four hundred twenty five to five hundred thousand visitors a year depending a bit on the weather and this year we've got our hands from twenty one different countries and one hundred seven sculptures always we have just over one hundred sculptures layout has come together and it feels really special. incredible pictures there where you can find it much more on the stories we're following our website that al-jazeera dot com. a quick reminder now of our top stories on al-jazeera the united states says it will be ready within weeks to impose sanctions on saudi arabia for the murder of jamal khashoggi now it's been one month since the journalist was murdered in the kingdom's concert in istanbul his body is still up and find

a senior turkish official alleges that it was dismembered and dissolved in acid alan fischer has more from istanbul we nor that the talks want to investigate or own the consul general's residence again and what is of interest is a well the you know they saw that the first time they went to search the garden but they wanted to bring in a specialist search team so the rebiya said they were on the list so those people that they wanted in couldn't come in the talks of renewed a request to go back in there and the saudis haven't responded and that's another sign of frustration from talking because they say that while so the arabia is saying they'll do all they can to help the investigation their actions sometimes don't match their words. sanctions are coming that's the warning from donald trump after the u.s. and i just it was re-imposing all measures on iran that have been lifted on the twenty fifty nuclear deal eight countries including turkey will be allowed to keep him voicing iranian oil when the sanctions are re-imposed the u.s.

com we'll see a bit later. a . player. play.

so there's a particular score that you have to get for you let loose on notations on holidays a hundred a check. how many of these patients received today everybody i'll say no i got feeling lost they said. two hundred eighty five million people all blind or visually impaired worldwide and ninety percent of the us live in developing countries and yet with the right eye care and medical interventions eighty percent of visual impairments could be prevented if all kid. on drugs just lacey and i'm in a zombie at to meet the team of all this on the fly and on most of the oldest flying on hospital is an airplane has been converted into a fully functioning surgical and training hospital which travels to developing countries worldwide the oldest team has been working here in zambia one of the

least developed countries in the world since two thousand and ten. zero zero zero. zero zero zero zero. zero zero i get a. lot of my mother grandmother let me be there i think but i think it costs a little less cuts to. the plane has a fully equipped operating room alongside laser treatment area. a multimedia pass from an interactive training facility. richard has been brought in to have corrective surgery on a screen. this relatively simple operation will have a huge impact on richard's ability to perform well at school and therefore his prospects for the rest of his life. it also gives a local doctor. the opportunity to work alongside his mentor laurie benjamin one of the u.k.'s leading our surgeons so you see over there are microscope dr and bony

doing the searches together with the dr benjamin it's it's amazingly well equipped the proper modern you know for a long period really expected when you come into the plane incredible. i want to show you another interactive feature only on the aircraft is this monitor over here so we have eighteen cameras onboard we have the opportunity a podcast and everything that's happening in the main operating theatre to the front classroom and as i can hear is a sergeant voice yes so to the surgeon doing the surgery as well in the microphone here so doing surgery he's explaining the procedure step by step to the front from classroom and it also gives the ability of the participants in the training doctors to ask questions opens up a fair after another forty eight people in the course exactly maybe. in. the gym bunny which is just have your gratian how did it.

do when. we were trying to correct this winter in terms of for your training had you done many hundreds surgeries for you involved in all this actually most of the screens that we did during training was observatories is watching lots of what he was doing i see. so it was really come with this. today the following our hospital team has trained medical staff some form surgeries in seventy eight different countries. one of the most important procedures that they teach is cataract surgery. cataracts occur when areas of the lens become opaque due to a change in the structure of proteins with. this. prevents the normal transition of light through the lens making vision blurred or misty over time and without treatment the cataracts make leading eventually to blind. this is one of the major

problems that over stills we're in zambia essentially the problem is that you know the lens which sits just behind your people goes from being totally transparent to a bit cloudy and therefore impacting your vision is a nice way to demonstrate this so if at the moment of normal vision and then with the cataract. vision degrades to about so you can imagine the impact with this surgery when it returns to know. that you have another unique tool called a training program called a high simulator that might use it to get back to the head i heart and i started out really just write to you what does ok i have tried i'd love to go yeah here's my patient gets here's your luckly not real these these are icing a major you know you're going to grasp they're trying goals and put it in the center you go too low you hit the lens and get the catch and. you know that means

they're going to ok ok. if the countries that leaves it you know now that they don't have a chance to try this before i gave before going to a real i use that exact outsize screen here. don you know they are closing you know and pull it out withdrawal and we're going to see your score ok. ok very nice first to know how do you know nonsense a million there's a particular school that you have to get at least on the rotation oh hundred is a hundred before levi meets a group of women who have all had cataract surgery. sure she was totally god and she can see everything she couldn't squeeze my mind she was rather news in one way and then did she have surgery on the plane. yes yesterday are you the lady who was dancing just now here because because you're happy when you can you teach me to dance come on like i don't have anything that i was talking about myself right

thank you. very much i mean. i think. i like what i. a key element of the old this program is to work with local medical staff using local facilities this ensures that even when the plane is gone the much needed specialist i treatment can still be provided in zambia this training is done it could to a central hospital where dr m. boney works our children and my problems vision impairment is not a big problem in zambia we have over fifty thousand children we did you get into the country since obvious came to keep the provider what we needed to sit there

only to give people a simple. this is the only guy hospital children that are still in zambia yeah this is the last. three young sisters have travelled over sixteen hours by box with their mother to receive treatment from you will be steamed. all three suffer from varying degrees of cataract blindness which has caused them to fall behind at school as i can see. two of the sisters are now recovering from the surgery. so we're just in the main hospital now just to go out going to one of the wards to meet lucy who's the third child of the family who is having cataract operation this afternoon so from this way. they're. going to share any motion me lucy. what lucy what's your favorite subject in school what you like to learn about this one issue is just going to use the word holes.

in it how is your english lucy one. that. saves you. untasted. so the issue lucy has that she has cataracts in both eyes and appears as though she has normal visual ability but in fact it's significantly impaired so much so that it's had a real impact on being able to go to school and her lifestyle at home so with the intervention this afternoon with the right medical treatment she may be able to make a real positive impact on that. i don't see. they don't want to have this surgery is another opportunity for doctors benjamin and bony to work together your age here. so they're all set to go and theatre is now sort of sleep under general anaesthetic the surgeons are scrubbed and set to go so it's can see how they came out.

during the operation the cataract is removed through a tiny incision in the on and a synthetic lens is inserted and i'll just use the pick up place fifteen degree being frank or two point seven five. and see on the screen that that. lens has returned the transparency to the people. and therefore should provide a good outcome for the c. o u. u u k. k yeah for adelaide. you see that feeling that fish that's.

something yeah i. know. you have a good ear over by the situation but we'll see what your sister shows now company if you think you are. so talking burning what are you looking for with this examination. just to see if that's the corner. not collapsing from the point it was you're in certain could the new. oh. you know. so far and it's lying moron. and then it's going to the smaller sized objects not. the improvement from pre-surgery test is dramatic it really is amazing. she was able to see just.

figures that's all she could recognize it before the operation ok and now she improved to be able to see the something credible we know we know it is by. doing our best i think. it's just my faith such as the time. i. saw it come to the end of my time in zambia and what's been wonderful to witness is this very special relationship between obits and its local partners and the success of this project has been plain to see in the stories of lucy and her sister and the hundreds of thousands of people worldwide have had their site saved and their lives changed they see. the public health care system in pakistan as in many developing countries.
