will be here at the top of the hour with the day's news. capturing a moment in time. snapshots of other. inspiring documentaries from impassioned filmmaking. with al-jazeera. hello i'm come on santa maria and this is counting the cost on al-jazeera your weekly look at the world of business and economics this week boiled united states has declared zero tolerance of anyone buying iranian oil so as the u.s. slams the brakes on oil exports from the islamic republic we'll look at the spillover effect for the global economy also this week the secret world of high risk money lending there's been a boom in loans to poor countries in the past decade we'll see how the people there could be at risk in our case study from mozambique plus unbreakable glass

mysteriously shattered and a sting operation to catch a spy that's how competitive the world of mobile communications has become the vested interests and players jockey for control. so we're looking at the oil markets this week one of those economic factors which affects almost everywhere in the world regardless of the politics behind it and right now the politics are all about iran the united states has demanded all countries stop buying iranian oil or they will face sanctions now ironic sport slightly more than a million barrels a day with the majority going to china india south korea japan and turkey and some of those customers especially china and turkey not happy more on the global impact in a moment after this report from roslyn jordan in washington. the u.s. says its efforts to impose a worldwide embargo on iranian oil is already working in the last eleven months the

trumpet ministration says iran has lost about ten billion dollars in oil revenue all this says washington to punish the han for what it calls the government's quote aligned ways the trumpet ministration and our allies are determined to sustain and expand the maximum economic pressure campaign against iran to end the regimes destabilizing activity threatening the united states our partners and allies and security in the middle east these demands are not just coming from the united states government and many of our allies and partners they are similar to what we hear from the iranian people themselves the u.s. imposed oil sanctions on iran in may two thousand and eighteen after it withdrew from what president donald trump called the ineffective iran nuclear deal the u.s. wanted to cut off iran's ability to support hezbollah and who the fighters as well as send aid to governments in syria and venezuela last fall when oil supplies were

tight the u.s. gave several countries permission to wrap up their existing iranian oil purchases by no later than may second but now the u.s. says supplies are plentiful and so the five countries still importing iranian crude china india turkey japan and south korea no longer have a reason to keep buying from terre han to conduct these transactions one almost always nice to participate in the financial markets and we intend to enforce the sanctions we don't lay out sanctions that we don't have any intention of encouraging countries to cooperate with analysts say it's important to look at the impact sanctions could have on ties between the u.s. and other countries for example how sanctions could derail current chinese american trade talks but analysts say it's just as important to consider why the white house considers saudi arabia in the. knighted arab emirates and not other oil producing nations key to making the iranian parco work i think that actually feeds into this

narrative of this very close relationship that the president trump has with the saudi royal family and of course the united states is again this is the president who looks at issues from a transactional standpoint state department officials won't say just how soon after may third that the u.s. will impose sanctions on countries still buying oil from iran but they are adamant they say the only way to get iran to change its behavior is by imposing an embargo and the only way to make certain that the embargo works is to impose sanctions on other countries even if those countries happen to be the u.s. as friends russell and jordan al-jazeera the state department so let's examine the economics of all this because supply and demand is key to understanding oil's spillover effect for the global economy opec in the big produces they always want the prices to stay just that sweet spot high enough to keep them in business low

enough to keep the demand taking over and at the moment the trade suggests iran's customers will be able to bridge any supply gap the united states is also reassured the market yes any gap in global oil production will be well supplied saudi arabia for its part says it won't raise or oil output immediately actually there's no pick deal with russia in place to cut production. but that could be revised as soon as june when the cartel meets but there are supply constraints as well places like venezuela and libya of course due to internal conflicts iran has threatened as it often does to block the strait of hormuz the major oil shipping route in the gulf the upshot of all this is that brant crude the global oil benchmark is up around forty percent since november so if supply fears do start to reemerge that could send oil prices even higher we're going to talk about this all with jamila joining us from kuala lumpur he is the global head of currency strategy and market research

at f x t m market it's great to have you with us jimi so all these countries the likes of china south korea japan and turkey they are going to have to do without iranian oil at least for the foreseeable future the united states says don't worry at this plenty of oil around the place do you agree with that. well there certainly is a lot of different openers but what i would do is liken this to a different scenario let's say iran is tottenham hotspur and the football team is now losses best striker hurricane the best strike and for a rainy an economy and for supply it's actually oil so all of these other countries involved china india the way it was total to eight different nations they are now the oil supply from iran when these waivers expire at the beginning of may now there is enough oil i was sway places like russia u.a.e. united arab emirates saudi arabia they can supply that oil however it will take some time and this is why investors have priced in

a higher oil valuation has touches highest level of two thousand and nine scene and it does look like the rally in the oil markets will continue a bit of it yet and what about the effect on iran we already know the u.s. sanctions being in place this is exactly what the slowly recovering iranian economy won't need so you turn the tap soft on the oil market the iranian economy will suffer since those sanctions economic sanctions back in place in may two thousand and eight seen we've seen the iranian crumble like a biscuits inflation has rocketed sky high there's already pressures on the iranian economy that is going to see a recession of at least four percent according to the i.m.f. in two thousand and nine saying now that it has been confirmed that these sanctions on iranian spece exploit oil will be turned off as of next month we expect this recession to extend even further looking at recession beyond four percent the

iranian realit will remain under pressure and it will also increase those are very any an inflationary pressures which is very bad news indeed for the local consumers on the streets right so the iranians will rightly you would say feel aggrieved about the situation that they find themselves in who is or who might. and up for them allies wise people who are willing to take on the united states in some way shape or form and say we will continue to do business well with the nation that is known to import the most oil from iran is china so you would look at the side of china towards where it could potentially stand out for a run in the situation but i don't see this happening for this reason u.s. and china trade tensions and those trade negotiations have been going on in the background now for most of the gay now you do not have states and china very close to a new trade agreement if you checked the narrative from both sides of the chinese authorities and the united states authorities in festus have become optimistic that a trade agreement is close which is extremely good news for the global economy if

that was a standing up for a run and this example hypothetically this would put those that progress on the back burner so that for this reason i do not think that will be somebody that stands up it's probably going to be accepted in my opinion that those produces all those imports of oil will look for oil i was where let me throw another country into the mix and that is turkey not so much in the sense of we've been talking about standing up for iran but the effect on taking as well an economy that has struggled itself its currency has been struggling in the last full year old really . what about the effect on to this is extremely bad news for the turkish economy for its markets and for its currency it means that now needs to look for another supplier of oil at a time where its financial conditions and not grades probably in my opinion we will see weakness in the turkish lira butts there's of a currencies and economists out there that will benefit from this news i will

mention russia and the russian ruble russia's one of the biggest producers of oil it can actually supply this gap and the russian ruble will strengthen on oil prices he started with a football analogy something which a lot of people can understand i didn't want to bring this all back to something people will. understand because we've talked a lot about separate economies but people all over the world when they think about hiero prices they think about high fuel prices they think about taxes on aviation industry all these sorts of things are these things which people need to keep an eye on or if we sort of gotten used to things being just that bit higher when it comes to inconsistency the verbal narrative and the social media narrative in particular that comes from president trump he wants to lower oil prices however this news actually strengthen sort of prices because of the tighter oil markets because the iranian oil supply has been cuts now everybody knows i don't see where the need for oil prices to move lower the global economy is struggling and it's

facing headwinds at six thousand once and there is a multitude of different external challenges so the longer term picture is actually the oil prices should come back and sullen mansome but not in so it is known and confirmed where this cut in supply from iranian oil being sent off will be filled so this is why over the longer term picture many still remain negative on oil prices which is why our everyday viewers everyday consumers do not have to worry too much but over the net some some chip political risk has been priced to back in soil this is why over prices are rally and they fit the highest level of two thousand and nine seen but it's still a dramatic distance away from what oil prices were a couple of years ago so no need to worry no it's a panic but we do need to monitor the day to day news narrative around oil prices and specifically what happens next door is what happens next isn't it jim a lot made to join us from kuala lumpur thank you so much for your time and still

ahead on counting the cost why musicians at iraq's national symphony orchestra are trying to hit the right note. right now though the battle and it really is a battle over the next generation of mobile technology on the one side you've got china's huawei love for its phones. but feared over a perceived threat of chinese spying which the company's always that is totally arbitrary and on the other side the likes of astride the account of the denmark museum and of the us who will ban the company from their networks but in the us there was a really curious tale of this involving huawei a us stuffed up from so-called unbreakable glass and an f.b.i. sting operation john hendren picks up that story now from going to illinois this is a story about a small american technology startup a giant chinese conglomerate and industrial espionage it starts here in illinois where adam kahn formed a company a con semiconductor where they make

a kind of glass for cell phones that is said to be six times stronger than the industry standard so you can drop it and it won't break and it looks something like that he was looking for a manufacturer to make it and among the companies he talked to were hallway of china they had a facility in california so he sent them a sample with two provisions first they could not damage it that's standard protection against industrial espionage and second they couldn't take it out of the country because it's made with a kind of industrial diamond like material that has military properties and is illegal to export from the united states nevertheless it was returned months later and broken that was when the company thought perhaps they were being ripped off by the chinese so they spoke to the f.b.i. you examined this sample and determined that it had been cut by a military strength industrial laser and there were pieces missing which suggested the chinese had held on to them to examine it and the f.b.i. went one step further they asked officials at

a con to become spies to meet with chinese officials at an industry conference in las vegas which they did wired for sent chinese officials there said that in fact the sample had been taken to china and they questioned out loud whether the u.s. government was listening to that conversation and that is where. that case lies but it's part of a wide ranging probe into huawei by companies and the u.s. government in fact the c.f.o. of qual way faces charges in brooklyn the company just settled a suit in washington state where it is alleged to have stolen part of a robot owned by t. mobile the robot was called tapi by the way and the trumpet ministration is urging american companies not to use while weighs five g. technology that's because they're afraid that the company is installing a backdoor that would allow them to listen to americans and possibly engage in cyber warfare as for the a con technology you see here you might look for it one day soon on

a cell phone near you. and we'll have more on that story in the coming weeks and counting the cost because this new mobile technology five g. as it's known it is coming it is worth billions the competition over it is fierce and while it's right at the center of it as you already see it is a company which attracts a lot of attention and controversy just this week it came out fighting against allegations that it is funded or controlled in any way by the chinese government report is in chains and we're told there is no state capital in the company at all while they also filed a lawsuit last month against the u.s. government's restrictions on its product saying congress has acted unconstitutionally as quote judge jury and executioner cases ongoing it did appear to have a partial victory in the u.k. however where a leaked report indicated huawei would be used to build some of the u.k.'s new five g. mobile infrastructure but it would still be excluded from the more sensitive parts of the rollout and despite all the pressure the company did report first quarter

revenues were up thirty nine percent to nearly twenty seven billion dollars all goes to show how significant the five g. race is and the concerns about china gaining any first mover advantage we have to talk about debt now and the extremely profitable yet morally questionable practice of making money out of bad debts now take the case of mozambique one of the world's poorest countries there is a huge pool of natural gas offshore but on shore the country's been on the brink of financial collapse mozambique's economy has been reeling from a debt crisis triggered by two billion dollars worth of hidden loans that were never approved by its parliament this was the so-called tuna bond scandal we've covered in the past money raised to fund a fishing fleet which never caught me fish plunge the country into a crisis it is now hugely expensive for mozambique to borrow and yet it is still borrowing it owes money to everyone from china to libya and for the people living there it has die of consequences not to mention the terrible devastation and loss

of life brought by site clone i recently which again require. foreign cash to help recover from well surging clifton's joining us now from london she is the director of the jubilee debt campaign it's a u.k. charity working to end poverty caused by just dead it's nice to see sarah jane i am going to play devil's advocate here i'm going to play the part of a modern day capitalist who simply says this is how it works the country or the institution which has the money loans to the one that doesn't it's the way the world goes round present the other side of the argument for me well i suppose to some extent we wouldn't necessarily argue with you we're not opposed to that we think it can be useful for both people and countries and businesses to spread the cost of payments for large purchases of countries things like infrastructure. the issue is if it's commission responsibility and spend it responsibly for countries whether it's invested productively so if it's invested in things which can

regenerate generate or generate sufficient cash to repay that that unfortunate in the case of mozambique this isn't what we saw. secret you were talking about a two billion dollars u.s. as he sat they went to mozambique's parliament they were publicly disclosed to the people of mozambique and what we found out is the large amount of the money is believed to have gone missing various of the bank officials involved and it's important to note that these loans were issued by two london based banks so some of the bank officials involved on the government in question fish was involved are now under investigation by u.s. authorities say so authorities and mozambique close are ities let's go back to the point you made about responsibility is it a case of there just being more transparency so we can see and everyone can see exactly which money is going where or is it actually the practices which need to change or actually the books so this is a quite unique case we think hidden relation to mozambique we're worried that there

are other cases like this but they just have. and come to light yet because of the secrecy that there is around a lot of lending and borrowing we think there are two issues here really the transparency accountability but there's also the wider structural issues which are pushing a lot of countries like my sam big into that crisis in the first place so we live in a world which is still very unequal whereas large amounts of resources concentrated in some countries and not in other countries we've seen countries in the west not really deliver so far and the commitment to either mobilize enough finance for development to poor countries to help their mates just as they will development goes well mobilize enough climate finance symmetry that has been a base of progress on tax dodging but not really enough by any means so that's still a lot of illicit finance out of poor countries developing countries so there's still a very strong need for the countries to do that based development because there are

no other sources of funding available so she tackling that crises and the situation that countries like mozambique find themselves in a quiet progress and it's much bigger structural issues we believe but then we also do need to look at every sponsible and corrupt lending and borrowing that's happening i mean i think transparency has to be the starting point so that. at the moment there is no obligation on banks to actually disclose the money that they're lending to governments pushing for action at the international level but also in the major global financial centers in the u.k. and u.s. and spending you're probably this is the point you made as well before about the infrastructure of the things actually making sure that the money gets used properly and i believe your research is showing that it's not in many cases that that's true we are seeing. a lot of the borrowing not translate into gains in terms of poverty levy a share in investment in public services. but we do think that the big issue here is the finance gap it's the lack of development finance available for countries to

actually spend in. sustainable development and the fact that they are having to to borrow as a result and then how there is that debt crises which. pairing how that being that way by the end fashion situations certain clips in a pleasure talking to you thank you for joining us thank you very much finally this week iraq where musicians at the national symphony orchestra are locked in a pay dispute the government i haven't seen a paycheck so far this year some of left but those who haven't so they will continue to perform despite the odds and times i can name has their story now from baghdad. ballet studio with peeling floors of the player of dust and ramshackle chairs is the rehearsal space for the iraqi national symphony orchestra some how the musicians maintain their focus seemingly oblivious to the inevitable power cuts that have become common in iraq since last year the

orchestra has been involved in what the conductor calls a war with the ministry of culture the staff hasn't been paid so far this year and spent most of twenty eighteen without a paycheck until they were eventually paid in what weapons at the staff of the ministry of culture acts as if they are living in another world they are disregarding the fact that the musicians haven't been paid we have suffered and we are still suffering there are one hundred ten musicians and support staff with the iraqi national symphony orchestra their average salary is eight hundred dollars a month since the pay dispute began last year ten members have left. for years the conductor says the government has attempted to slash the annual one point four million dollars budget of the orchestra then in two thousand and eighteen an anti-corruption law was implemented it banned staff from working

a state job and also getting paid to work with the orchestra since the one nine hundred seventy s. members had been granted a waiver i mean the government should be you know supporting us like because we are to be the you know cultural you know front of the whole country i mean we're the only symphony orchestra in the country and we were one of the first symphony orchestras that were established in the middle east still but you know of course they wouldn't consider it that which is really devastating. the ministry of culture says it's at the bottom when it comes to federal funding and is struggling to pay for its entire portfolio. about reaching an accurate oval agreement with the musicians. novela the ministry of culture needs to have an inclusive vision for the future of their i.q. symphony orchestra need to overcome their outstanding issue in order to rise up with a new talent to generation that embraces art and music by all their archy's. the

security remains tight across the country with warnings of further attacks catch all of what he has the story. the hunt for suspects after the easter sunday bombings what's really going security forces to this neighborhood and the town of common eye on the east coast. shortly after they arrived they came under attack in the gun battle that followed children were caught in the crossfire. when soldiers raided what they identified as a safe house in another area on her a district they found a large cache of explosives bomb making materials a suicide vest and and i saw flak more raids are expected. at the same anthony's shrine in colombo cleaning crews have replaced the emergency teams they were here just a few days ago they've begun to clear out the debris from the blast as soldiers guard the premises with fears of more attacks sunday services have been suspended

indefinitely security remains tight especially around mosques and churches nearby businesses have closed their doors. a mom that was it was i was when we were it was just three days but what is it would be just. as the search continues for more of those behind the easter sunday attacks this surveillance video has been released it shows one of the bombers entering the kingsbury hotel in the capital colombo with a backpack on he checks in and goes to his room he would later walk back down and set off his explosives. the owner of another targeted hotel spoke with another man who would also add a nato bomb. he's very good three of them are women that are going to be in he came and asked for a room we gave one to him it was just for twenty four hours he gave his identity

card and the passport and pretended to be visiting from abroad he had a big bag and a handbag. the government continues to face criticism for failing to prevent the attacks despite warnings weeks before the bloodshed it's feared more suspects with access to explosives are still on the loose. al-jazeera. correspondent florence who is so florence is the suspicion clearly the authorities that these fifteen dead people were somehow connected to the east to bomb attacks. right now and this is also the place where the gun battle erupt erupted on friday night between security forces and a group of people now police also saying that the fifteen bodies they've recovered this was also a site where suicide bombers are suspected of having detonated the explosives they had in the house so it's not immediately clear how many of those fifteen who died

six children died as a result of gunfire or as a result of the bomb that was in sight the house now he's also conducted raids in another area in the eastern province and it was that they found bomb making materials including one hundred fifty sticks of explosives one hundred thousand ball bearings and myself like as well as a uniform very similar to what one of the to what the suspected bombers were wearing in a video this is happening in the eastern province where we're also hearing that one man has been arrested with more explosives on him this took place in the town of trincomalee also in the eastern province now in some parts of the eastern province the muslim dominated parts of the eastern province have been placed. under curfew a twenty four hour curfew which started on friday night at nine thirty at seven thirty now but in colombo as well there have been a few worrying developments navy personnel said they are arrested three people who

had on them one kilogram of c four explosives and they were taken into custody near a railway station in the capital but we're also hearing that there is a suspicious vehicle near one of the hotels in the city and that a bomb disposal squad will be carrying out a controlled explosion so these developments taking place in the last twenty four hours across sri lanka and naturally they show that the security situation here can just change any minute and also how they are it's deteriorating and escalating you know a couple of days ago police were making arrests the bomb disposal squads were carrying out controlled explosions now with security forces engaged in gun battle and it shows on the one hand that security forces are closing in on people who may have had may have links with those who carried out the attacks or have knowledge of further attacks but it also shows that you know what authorities have been warning about the possibility of further attacks. a real possibility lawrence thanks very

much. he's a correspondent for the daily gift to us from lincoln news website he joins us on skype from colombo ashwin and i want to go how well connected do you think these people are to. well actually our national power gen model as far as we know also nor now nationally more knowledge. organization well it's locked up or very recently until the easter bombings this particular organization rock was and there were hard all and according to the investigator to t.j. is believed to have said brought in from an. organized ition which is also a hard line his honest organization operating straight back and that is called strain on couple in germany so this is a breakaway group and b.'s guys of course. have had the opportunity to organize

themselves are for a considerable period of time running its own belief i made a big l.t.d. eat big for the thirty two year war against us for it duncan forces are trying to break the nation of course but it took them to thirteen years to bring in a sleaze side attempt so that it is quite alarming because these guys are well they have ever heard but not before and all of the battles they have all made something very. sad quite sure reading of certain aspects of reality the aftermath of the easter sunday bombings we had a correspondent there reporting on and i must stress they are reports that they have phoned c. four explosives combined that with the the lead up to what happened on easter sunday this was not a spur of the moment thing this this was well resourced well planned well financed

what's the hinterland behind the people who can do this and who can get c four into the country in the first place. well after the war ended almost ten years a ago our forces and the police of them managed to clear up ever. so country most say of tourism are doing well but are fortunately due to the lapses in security all these ball bearings and sudden explode devised and material that could be fathered by beloved into explored the sea of devices was important it seems so now the current current situation is quite crucial because even in colombo you find sea full normal small amount but when kilo that was last night now apart from that . during the rage that book carried out yesterday and today police and the forces were able to look at naive and shot up objects such as a soldiers and hazards so. big contadina. adding more to eat

certain uniforms which beaches are similar to sri lankan military so this is quite alarming and it seems these guys are these guys have had time to organize well and to bring what is required to the sri lankan soil do you think in perhaps six months or a year if we were to revisit this conversation the framing of our conversation will then have become the i saw war in sri lanka. well it's a very difficult tricky question john but yes if we are unable to handle it for only finish it off with him extra but in the next few days because the emergency regulations are prevailing in sri lanka for a period of one month which was passed in the parliament so. the police is given the opportunity to eradicate these new threat. oh really no short period of

time we believe that they are very capable of doing that from the past experience because we fought a war we dragged for thirty two years where we lost so many lives but ultimately the managed any doubt in sri lanka so yes it is possible ok we will leave you there ashwin hematoma thank you very much. to sudan where several former government ministers arrested during the overthrow of the president omar bashir have now been released and that angered thousands of protesters have been on a sit in for three weeks now outside the military headquarters in khartoum they say they won't go home until military leaders immediately hand over power to civilian rule of the reports now from the capital. under the scorching sun falzon support outside the sudanese army headquarters in khartoum for friday prayers. the someone

is heavily laden with political messages condemning that of deports to former president omar bashir messages to the demonstrations continue until the protesters achieve their goal a return to civilian rule in sudan. as soon as the prayers are over the now familiar chance feel that it will help or not then we need a civilian government to set up a foundation for a modern sudan followed by elections that have integrity and represent the will of the people. and there's not a third one hundred of the former regime to find the people through segregation and racism and today we are united as one nation without tribe creed or color.
