but nothing happens as our supreme leader said we're seeing signs of america's decline. friendship with america's impossible it's like a friendship between a sheep and a war. i don't even know you don't want telling you even in the era of the shah america was our enemy the sharjah didn't realize it and the enemy is always an american if compromises with iran and iran will also never bow down to it diplomats and negotiators spent years paving the way for the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal after trump came to power the goodwill they built crumbled in a matter of months even earn his own side show at this year's rally whether iran chooses to remain committed to the nuclear deal or not the next american president may not be able to fix what donald trump has broken. all successive u.s. presidents have used sanctions to try to contain iran ever since the western backed

shah was overthrown back in one nine hundred seventy nine first you have jimmy carter who banned iranian imports and froze assets worth billions of dollars over the hostage taking at the embassy in tehran in ninety four president ronald reagan designated the country a state sponsor of terrorism after two hundred forty one marines were killed in beirut he blamed iran for funding the group behind that attack then in the one nine hundred ninety s. bill clinton banned all u.s. companies from doing business in iran the first significant measures against. related to to its nuclear program came under george w. bush and then in two thousand and ten barack obama signed into law a new sanctions describing them as the toughest ever passed by congress. a breakthrough there was finally reached in twenty fifteen of course with the nuclear deal that was agreed by the u.s. and iran and european powers and china and russia sold sanctions lifted and exchange for inspections and iranian nuclear policy changes but earlier this year

as we know donald trump withdrew from that agreement announcing his intention to reimpose u.s. sanctions other signatories are sticking to it and they are being closely watched now for what they will do next diplomatic editor james bays has more on that from the united nations. this is being described by the trumpet ministration as the toughest sanctions regime ever imposed on iran the country's oil exports are being targeted although eight countries have been given temporary waivers to allow them to still importer rein in oil for the time being the administration is now reintroducing all of the sanctions that were frozen under the iran nuclear deal in twenty fifteen the iranian economy is in a bad points there's no question about that inflation is high unemployment is high and the currency is depreciated significantly but i think it's worth noting that these are not historical anomalies for the iranian government they've been dealing since the revolution with high inflation the trumpet ministrations campaign against

iran is both political and economic on the economic track iran is already hurting and these sanctions will make it even worse politically things are much more complicated the aim of the administration is to punish and isolate iran but that isn't working when president trump chaired the un security council in september the other countries including the u.s. his closest allies spoke up in favor of the iran nuclear deal china an importer of iranian oil currently holds the security council presidency bastard i had this sansa when i asked him if the latest sanctions were illegal we have passed the intellectual sanctions act as any country in of the white house is hoping the new sanctions will send a tough message to iran but experts believe terrans calculations will actually depend more on what happens on choose day night based on how the republicans fare in the midterm elections iran will be determining despite the hardship whether they

can wait president trump out james bays out zero of the united nations is going to hillary mann leverett earlier former white house national security official now c.e.o. of strategic or a political risk consultancy group to tell us trump wants to undo the policies that were put in place by his predecessor barack obama. the trouble ministration is doing this deliberately in order to in a sense break put strain on the u.s. relationship with its allies the united states does not want to be part of a multilateral deal it has no interest in keeping president obama's legacy that's very much something that is motivating the white house here is to break apart this multilateral deal negotiated by by trump's predecessor president obama and to put iran in a position where it is in severe pain and is forced to deal with the trump administration on its own by itself in a bilateral arrangement here's what we've got coming up for you on the as the

leader of one of mexico's most dangerous can't tell the way it's trial in the u.s. we look at why. business is still thriving or in russia with. bringing his moving into the modern age and you ventus run away with a six point lead in this in his coming up in sport that you. egypt says it has killed nineteen find is who it says were behind an attack on coptic christians on friday gunman fired at two buses on their way to a monastery near the city of many killing seven people it happened two hundred sixty kilometers south of cairo six of the victims were from the same family and i saw claimed responsibility for the attack. about any opposition leader has been sentenced to life in prison on charges of spying for cutter shake a man was acquitted earlier this year but the decision has now been overturned he

had been sentenced along with two colleagues charges of spying relating to the arab spring unrest in two thousand and eleven the accusations though only came to light after behind cut its diplomatic ties with carter last year. is the head of veterans main shia opposition group the party it was the largest bloc in parliament before the two thousand and eleven protests but it was then banned by twenty sixteen buttons main secular opposition group known as wired has also been outlawed and its leader is also serving jail time bahrain remember a majority shia country but hundreds of people have been jailed since the protests in two thousand and eleven for demanding reforms from the sunni royal family his same watching now a campaign around behind it amnesty international which is calling for the immediate release of shakeout examined and all other prisoners of conscience. well to start with. for us is

a prisoner of conscience he's been detained since twenty at the end of twenty three fourteen and he is serving a four year sentence. the new charges. absurd in the sense that back in twenty eleven when the uprising was happening there was a they were attempts to meet eighty eight and two to find a solution to to the situation and. chalice and man had found calls with the prime minister not the prime minister the minister of foreign of of affairs of state affairs in qatar and these were exchanges an attempt to to get to mediate in the situation at the time so to sixty is on for him to be charged with these with to be accused of spying for qatar it's totally absurd and

a nice thing authorities are really. going forward with a crush on dissent any a position opposing voice is being crushed this is a clear signal that they will not accept or agree to have anybody criticising them from within or with that. women are expected to play a crucial role in the u.s. midterm elections on tuesday of course there's been the president's attempts to curtail abortion rights it was also the appointment of supreme court judge accused of sexual assault angered many female voters though others still do back donald trump and his republican party have a look now at how the president's polling with women these numbers coming from roy says they showed as we break it down black women in particular are strongly opposed to the u.s. president the around eight percent rating with them hispanic women a little bit more in favor twenty one percent white women pretty even split there

forty seven percent approve forty six don't and then this one college educated women across all races are mostly against trump although a third do approve of what he has been doing as president let's try to understand those numbers a little bit more with kimberly how could our white house correspondent in great falls virginia today that those numbers kimberly are interesting the thirty percent . yes there are really interesting because when you hear that what you don't hear are the nuances and so that's what we want to try and break down the fact that eighty six percent of african american women are not supportive seventy two percent of hispanic females do not approve of donald trump and well this isn't a presidential election it's an important congressional election i want to show you over here where this is what we're in a house in great falls virginia and this is the grassroots effort in all of its glory these are phone banks the folks in here are working feverish late between now and when the polls close on tuesday to try and get out the vote because there are

so many americans incredibly that still do not vote do not recognize that voting day is on tuesday and many of them are women who have strong reactions to donald trump's agenda and are voicing their concerns. or donald trump do so at least one day after donald trump was sworn in as president hundreds of thousands of women gathered in cities across the united states to protest. almost two years have passed but the u.s. president has given them little reason to change their original judgment of a man many regard with revulsion his behavior and language at times has hardened their views. after his aide omarosa manigault newman was ousted from the white house called her a crazed crying lowlife and a dog after congresswoman maxine waters encouraged her supporters to harass trump administration officials they're not going to be able to go to

a restaurant they're not going to be able to stop at a gas station called waters an extraordinarily low i.q. person. but nothing has polarized the country more along gender lines than the hearings for supreme court justice brett kavanaugh christine blas a ford accuse trumps nominee of sexual assault when they were in high school truck cast doubt about her testimony mocking her recollection of the decades old event how did you get home i don't remember how did you get there i don't remember where is the place i don't remember how many years ago was it i don't know. toss attacks on women are nothing new and have been dismissed by his supporters ever since the release of a video in two thousand and sixteen threatened to derail his campaign. struck shrugged off the controversy and won the white house even today well a majority of us women still disapprove of trump at least a third still solidly approve of trump's presidency but everybody makes mistakes

and they're like nobody's perfect guy. he's made his mistakes that everybody else who's human hands i think he's a bully i do but i think you need someone like that in the office conservative women point to donald trump's historically low unemployment numbers that are rising wages well in office they say his appointment of a female press secretary and a significant number of female filled cabinet posts proves he's supportive of women in the workplace still the battle for the female vote isn't. hence the findings republicans have released the sixty second advert aimed at winning over suburban college educated women voters clearly shows this demographic more than most is where conservative support is waning but notably trump never appears in the advert it's a signal even republicans realize the president remains toxic to many voters and in the fight to hang on for control of congress conservatives can't afford to lose a single female vote so back to kimberly now and i know you're only half an hour

outside of washington d.c. at the moment but tell us about great falls virginia and how you've been making the . yeah i want to tell you not only about great falls virginia but some of the democratic talent that has come out to this grassroots effort to get out the vote and joined by governor terry mcauliffe who is not only a former governor of virginia but also a longtime democratic organizer strategist i talked to me a little bit about how important this election is to democrats was i just told the crowd here you know for forty years i chaired the national party i've always soldiers most important election of all time this year i believe that before but this really is very important in the sense of the insanity of the trump administration you know the run a campaign of hate fear division they're trying to divide americans this is our time to send a message back and we're going to win the house of representatives we're going to win a whole slew of governorships this is going to be huge for the united states of america

and at the point i hope we can begin to bring people back together because donald trump has done nothing but divide our country sending fifteen thousand troops to the border taking our military who are already overstretched for a political tactic to politicize our military so it's sad but you know what this is the first time we're going to be able to send it back to more going to get the house that we're going to pick up a bunch of governorships and what we're doing here with this muslim phone bank i think is historic that's what i would ask about this is a very diverse constituency that we're in right now to talk to me about why the vote in this district for example matters given the fact that it's traditionally gone republican it has you know we had a candidate here dr barbara petite who's running for the school board chair here in prince william we have a lot of candidates throughout the commonwealth of muslims in descent who are actually running which is important we're out of proving candidates and i think what's happening is that you know we went through the horrible problems we had with the travel ban i as governor went to dulles airport when you know you had u.s. residents stuck inside dulles airport with children without access to legal counsel

and that's not who we are as americans and i think so many people in america are really fired up they've had it with trump and his division politic. they've had it with his fear it was a trick they can't run on policy they can't run on the tax cut because it didn't help working families they can't run on health care because you try to destroy our country they can't run on infrastructure because they've been doing the show this is all it's their playbook to try and divide people before the election and name calling and it's not going to work we've certainly seen that from the republicans but at the same time republicans also arguing that a lot of their policies of work to bring back jobs and all the rest we can talk a little bit more about that and the coming hours let me just say i just places a ten year recovery let's be clear donald trump was at the end zone but you know some would carry the ball ninety yards i mean we are the end of what has been a ten year we're covering our country and we shouldn't forget that i mean president obama did a lot of hard lifting to get this when our country financial was in trouble to get us back on top three finish and that is the message that democrats are certainly

sending to voters and of course the polls certainly do show that the democrats are poised to take control of the house but as we saw in two thousand and sixteen the only poll that really matters is the one on tuesday on election day so we'll have to watch carefully come out oh yes busy week ahead for you can be held in great falls virginia right here's what's coming up on this news on thirty six candidates vying for the presidency this is in madagascar but there is concern about the level of campaign spending in a country where many live on less than two dollars a day. and less the city's football is attend the funeral of a team owner in bangkok a week after he was killed in that helicopter crash at the stadium will have that on the rest of the sports like a rock. alan for the most part iran is dry at the moment but to the west is

a different story that says running up the red sea now in the levant as you can see not give me a huge amount of rain but you don't need a huge amount of very significant weather in what is normally a dry place in iraq so twenty one to forty millimeters but preceded by sandstorm this is sundry stuff and it's going to be there through monday she says sort of circulation to it so anywhere from kuwait up through iraq towards syria and back background into northern egypt is the circulation the green is the potential shazam drifting slowly eastwards that would be flash flooding of course what he felt again that it hits the western side of iran masters area will get some pretty big shout out of that in kuwait as well following through the sun comes back south of it all then it's probably a quieter time we've seen some pretty big shots recently in western society there are one and two in the case in the red sea area but not many it's a quite a period warm thirty one thirty two around the gulf states maybe a little bit more humid than of late and again southern africa see some

tremendously big showers recently particularly zimbabwe but also the eastern side of south africa the cloud is still there we could see a repeat performance but it does look rather quieter. november on al jazeera radicalized you a new hard hitting series comes face to face with the hatred and violence of militant groups that attract young people around the world on november fifth the u.s. will impose additional sanctions on iran targeting the oil sites we'll look at the impact that may have when migrant lives are in danger and see who should come to their aid people in power investigates the united states is getting ready for the u.s. midterm elections on november sixth join us for live coverage and analysis and a listening post continues to examine global media coverage and look behind the
