sanctions coming back into force. turkish media reveal more about how solid the agents got rid of the body of the murdered journalist. came to make their votes counted the cations of the highest turnout for decades in the u.s. midterm elections and as the leader of one of mexico's most dangerous cartels awaits trial in the u.s. we'll look at why business is still thriving. less than twenty four hours the u.s. will re-impose one of its toughest sanctions on iran to date the move is fueling anger in the capital where protesters have been chanting down with the u.s. the demonstration was part of the ceremony to mark the thirty ninth anniversary of the nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution president dollar trump announced he'd been bad. sanctions lifted on the twenty fifty nuclear deal with the truth on

the agreement earlier this year iran's leaders have played down the u.s. move the commander of the elite revolutionary guard says head on will resist any sanctions let's go straight to our correspondent zain bus driver who's joining us live from tehran zain you were just at the protests earlier how people what was happening how are people feeling there. absolutely elizabeth this rally is an annual event it marks the anniversary of the taking of the u.s. embassy by university students in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine just a few short months after the islamic revolution that overthrew the shah of iran reza pahlavi at the time and brought into power this current government now after the u.s. embassy was stormed the students took fifty two americans hostage and it sparked a four hundred forty four day hostage crisis the longest in recorded history and

every year iranians marked this event on their calendar and commemorate that day now this was a seminal moment in the young history of the islamic republic of iran and it was a seminal moment in the relationship between iran and the united states and this year the crowd was bigger the crowd was angrier and that has a lot to do with the fact that the anniversary this year coincides with a deadline by the united states to re-impose sanctions that were lifted by the twenty fifty nuclear deal and put back into place by donald trump and what that means is that the move by the american president from tomorrow on words iran will no longer be able to sell its oil on the international market and that deadline means that sanctions against the oil industry against banking against shipping will extend to iran and will extend to anyone that tries to do business with iran it's an important deadline and does affect iran economically but many iranians that we

spoke to say that this deadline is meaningless and that foreign investment has already been scared off by america's economic aggressive economic policy towards iran and that any economic damage that was going to be done has already been done here's a report about some people that we spoke to. when you look past all the politics what becomes clear is that american sanctions hurt iranian people more than a change. the. unemployment. all of this hurts low income and working people first and foremost they struggle to feed their families because prices for some basic goods have doubled. people's purchasing power has been reduced they talk about their problems. when

a customer wants to buy something you can tell a situation some people used to come here to buy meat once a month now they come one seventy two months when it comes to iran u.s. presidents have pursued a policy of containment for decades trying to limit iranians economically militarily and politically in their regional and global affairs even the twenty fifteen nuclear deal that president barack obama championed that gave iran back some of its financial freedoms many iranians saw that is just a softer approach to the same containment policy but by turning back the clock on bilateral ties with iran what president donald trump has done is to show people here that during his administration there will be no blurred lines between friends and enemies but if trumpet hope pushing iranians towards poverty would inspire them to topple their own leaders he'll likely be disappointed previous protests never got big enough all he's apparently done is make people here miserable. do

you think mr trump is a crazy man who made the situation in the region drastically worse his involvement in the region and sanctions have made the people hate him i really don't think that he's the one that should be the president of america. maybe good for his own people but not as you do think. it's better not to say anything about his personality everyone knows how. everybody knew. when iran's leaders signed the nuclear deal they said it was the thing to fix everyone's financial problems three years later with american promises of more sanctions than ever before the best that people here can hope for is that iran can manage to sell enough oil to survive until donald trump has left the white house. and say iranians have of course lived through sanctions before so tell us more about how they're feeling on the eve of what the u.s. president has said will be the toughest sanctions.

that really is at the heart of everything that iranians are talking about right now at the heart of these protests that we saw earlier today iran's ability to sell its oil among other things now in terms of being able to do that we saw that the united states is going to grant waivers to certain countries to allow them to continue to buy oil from iran and that is really something that iranian experts and government officials here have been banking on they've said over and over again to us that simply put there is not enough of a global infrastructure in the oil industry to to meet the kinds of demands that limiting iranian oil sales would would create in the market so the price of oil would go up and so iranians have really been focusing on the sort of basic market principle of supply and demand to be able to sustain their oil sales and continue to be able to sustain their economy and that's sort of on the macro government side they're still keen that they will be able to sell enough oil to keep their economy

going but on the other side for regular people you know the psychological impact of these sanctions of america's rhetoric towards iran has had a grating effect while the government may enjoy a great deal of optimism about its ability to sell oil they say over and over again that the sanctions in the past that we've experienced were far worse those are international sanctions mandated by the united nations and far more widespread than the sanctions we're facing now which they refer to a specifically trump sanctions not internationally mandated not mandated by the united nations they say they're in a better situation to be able to deal with the economic fallout of the sort of singularly american sanctions but people here on the ground say that the economy is still suffering that even though they may be able to sustain themselves this is not what they signed up to the nuclear deal this is not what their country had promised them when they signed up to this international agreement and they simply haven't felt the benefits so while the country isn't going to starve or suffer extremely certainly iranian people aren't able to move forward due to the economic start.

stances placed on them by u.s. pressure saying thank you very much for that finale that cyclists on the same bus arriving with the latest live in paid on now iran is one of the world's largest oil producers and its oil and gas exports are worth billions of dollars a year so who are the biggest importers of iranian oil well this chart shows iran's average exports and thousands of barrels of oil a day from nov twenty seventh teen to april of this year and as you can see china is the biggest employer with about seven hundred thousand barrels next as india with just six hundred thousand barrels a day followed by south korea and turkey and rounding out the top five is italy well let's get more on this now we're joined by minutiae talk an international or than energy consultant and he is joining us live from london very good to have you with us on al-jazeera i want to talk more about the eight countries that have been exempt from sanctions and can continue to buy iranian oil all of which we just

mentioned iran's deputy oil minister said that these waivers show that the markets need iran's oil is that true. of course that is true you see even if the quantity of crude oil is almost balance it is the type of oil that the refinery is in the say in south america in south korea or in china but surely japan has a long term customers those refineries are tuned for this particular quality of your on the oil beaches being explored to and to change to crude from kuwait or saudi arabia and so on would not be that easy in adjusting the advantages in practical terms so there is that as well as the actual supply demand balance that still is in question whether there is enough supply available so it is the fear i do agree that there is a fear that there will be shortage of supply demand balance short shortage of supply pushing the price up which is of course what prison term does not want

anyone to have a lower price of oil so there is that issue as well and that is some good news for iran's economy what about the measures taken by the e.u. to mitigate some of the damage from the sanctions things like the payment mechanism the e.u. plans to implement the special purpose very cool its core to circumvent the u.s. financial system but also got the e.u. updating a statute that allows e.u. firms to recover damage from u.s. sanctions. so these are all good signs as far as iran is concerned that iran can continue exporting its origin and it has been i think successful you see iranian oil exports were saber in the spring about two and a half million barrels per day and the reports were that already in summer many customers of the stopped buying or has reduced their purchases but the data are a bit contradictory for example some reports said in september union all exports were one point eight million barrels per day whereas the first two weeks in october satellite companies. planet. tank you're tracking companies

as reported in the press they said iranian oil exports were two point two million barrels per day in the first quarter the first two weeks of october so the figures are contradictory but they do show that the iranian oil exporters were architect of the part of an i.o.c. who had been there five six years ago two thousand and twelve thirteen through this you know more a major sanction of the united nations they are used to and they are successful they can manage that better than they did last time show us the contradictory because they were what they actually had about the u.s. attack and i do want to ask you one thing question any regular aero i was going so the e.u. despite the e.u. you know saying that it would do everything it can to keep doing business with every the measures at stake and many major european businesses have pulled out of iran since the u.s. pulled out of the nuclear deal so despite those measures is the cost of doing

business in iran still too high for most companies the big companies that really matter. it depends on the particular company i think you are right that companies like the big for enjoy the company which had major investment plan and they redrew many months ago and off we should announce because of the u.s. pressure but there are a smaller companies and the european commission through these special purpose ridicule is thing that the european companies should not fear the u.s. pressure but of course those with businesses companies with businesses in the u.s. take on the positive side between iran and the u.s. they choose the u.s. but there are smaller companies so i think we have to accept that this will have an impact on limiting iranian crude or exports this time but not as it was last time particularly because of the reasons that you've mentioned to you i don't experience the various ways and mechanisms this say is would not be a two million barrel but the super tanker five hundred thousand tons moving

purchased by shale david to destry find that of that unfortunately cannot be done but the smaller believe there is here and there i think it can be done but the volume may not be as as a huge and so i am optimistic but we have to be also realistic that it may not be as successful as people want us to talk and it's very good to get your expertise on this that is talking joining us live from london thank you. moving on to our other big story of the day and turkish media have been reporting more details on the saudi hit squad that murdered journalist jamal khashoggi last month the sun newspaper says his body was dismembered and put into five suitcases these were then driven to the saudi consuls residence near the consulate where kushal was killed on a flight the second some of the fifteen member hit squad have close ties to saudi

crown prince mohammed bin salim on the turkish president of the on his. said he believes the order to kill kushal came from the highest levels of the saudi government let's go to our correspondent andrew symonds who's joining us live from istanbul and that's those aren't the only new details that of emerged on sunday andrew talk us through them all. well know that's right elizabeth the. line here from a security source speaking to al-jazeera referring to the tape there's tape recording inside the consulate this has a recording of the killer's straight after the actual murder took place demanding to know where the phone was looking for her show g.'s phone insisting that it was really important they were quite agitated apparently now it is known that

g.'s. g.'s fiance was outside just nearby here with two phones that she says she was given by her fiance and she was using one of the phones to try and raise the alert and successfully raising the alert at the time now those two phones all this really are important to the saudis we're also hearing from a source that it's they can only assume that the saudis felt there was very important information on the phone the one phone that this referred to even though he had to both of them were in the hands of his fiance but the important thing is this that the turks confirm that they were asked repeatedly by saudi investigators at all levels that they wanted access to kushal g.'s phone and that was part of their investigation now we have no indication what information was on that with the data whether it was a phone number or whatever but it definitely is

a development there's something significant in it it would seem the other report from these cyber newspaper pro-government newspaper this was about three members of the hit squad but three by sat out to by the who is a pathologist all of them top security officials from saudi arabia along with. i got to go these three men apparently. we're in charge of the disposal operate of course show g.'s body parts now according to the reports which is from a reliable source it says fifteen hundred local time this was a time by which the body had been cut up this is basically and was ready for disposal and there was there were five suitcases used to transport the body parts it says from here in the consulates to the consul general's residence two hundred

meters away now what happened there is not clear it has to be said that this story has a beginning a middle but not an end because there is no actual conclusion so what happened to body parts we know that metry left the consul residence around sixteen fifty three there's videotape of that but speculation here as to what happened to the body parts but it would appear the key issue is that the saudis are not cooperating the turks are very angered by this the saudis are not cooperating and it would appear in giving all the information related to what they think may have happened to body a body so desperately wanted to be returned to his fiance to go through with obviously with a funeral under a harrowing aspect to this case andrew thank you very much for that for now that is anderson and all the latest live and thank you plenty more ahead on the news hour including will they stay with us from people in new caledonia eighteen thousand
