a comes to us says we hope all of that but it has to get done what divides us but when the united states re imposed sanctions it granted waivers to some of iran's biggest customers ending those waivers and iran supply means prices at the pump are likely to rise to address suggestions by u.s. president donald trump that some opec members namely saudi arabia and the united arab emirates might increase production to make up for iranian oil not making it to market it's probably potentially more dangerous to the very existence of the organization not to talk of that but does it with all of that is. the morse to do for this organization to saw is seeds of discord. to the extent that. we are not able to sit down and took decisions

let alone implemented together needing to meet market demand has been an important part of how iran has kept selling oil and coped with us sanctions china turkey and iran have also said they cannot abide by unilateral american policies and will continue dealing with iran if pushed iran could obstruct shipping lanes in the strait of hormuz pull out of the twenty fifty nuclear deal and restart your brain human richmond none are things iranian leaders say they actually want to do but there is little doubt the country is hurting a crippled economy soaring prices runaway inflation iranians worry it could mean taxes going up and subsidies on fuel electricity and consumer goods going down last year this conference how even more buzz and even bigger exhibits and there was a little more excitement in the air about doing business but that was before the united states pulled out of the nuclear deal and really imposed sanctions but one russian chief executive said u.s. sanctions are exactly why russia wants to do even more business with iran but

that's why they're here. so close you know we've you know it's for sure. it will be educational opportunity for russian companies because surveys in many many years since there is speak it very good relationships between iran as a country and russia as a country and so he union in the past and now is there is a good chance to start to mutual cooperation between companies. for the business level under u.s. sanctions he says the kremlin has encouraged companies to seek out iranian business partners characterizing sanctions as temporary complications but many iranians may say u.s. sanctions are not temporary enough and likely to lead to more hardship zain bus ravi old a zero to her on. osama bin jab that explains the economic impacts of the u.s. sanctions. iran is

a top contributor to the oil producing bloc of nations called opec its oil production has fallen from two and a half billion barrels a day in twenty seventeen to just under one and a half million barrels today iran's economy relies on oil and gas and roughly eighty percent of its exports are from the hydrocarbon sector the international monetary fund says inflation in iran could hit forty percent this year as u.s. sanctions have already had an impact on the economy i could get the iran oil down to zero immediately but it would cause a shock to the market i don't want to lift oil prices and if you notice or oil prices are going down very substantially despite the fact that already half of their capacity is gone so can the united states bring down iranian oil production to zero iran doesn't seem to think so feature me just trying to think you can drive iran's oil exports to zero by plane such games this is impossible around the oil exports would not be zero we will sell our oil through various methods the success

of u.s. sanctions will depend on how the major buyers of in oil which are india china south korea japan and turkey react to u.s. pressure there's already been an impact on global oil prices which are peaks in the last few months to where seventy dollars a barrel the u.s. wants to keep oil prices low but that does not favor oil exporting countries economies rely on oil the white house will be looking at allies in the gulf region to pump out an extra million or more barrels of oil a day once the sanctions kick in countries including saudi arabia have been hit hard during a period of nor oil prices and it's unclear if and how quickly they will increase their production the i.m.f. says iran's recession is already spilling over to the broader region iranian generals have warned that if the iran is prevented from selling its oil abroad it would close the strait of hormuz which handles a fifth of the world's oil shipments. saudi arabia has the release five more female activists who have been on trial for alleged contacts with foreign media diplomats and human rights groups this went nearly

white house over whether that sort of testimony in that sort of committee hearing would in fact be proper history will judge as to how we face this challenge we will all be held accountable in one way or the other and if he does not provide this committee with the information it demands the respect it deserves is to bars a moment of accountability soon enough and i think what we're seeing from chairman adler is that he's incapable of holding power if he and his committee are capable of actually asking the attorney general questions themselves and need to staff that out it seems like a pretty pathetic moment for the chairman of that committee and look we lost confidence in jerry nadler a long time ago but it's surprising that supine doubt that he's actually lost confidence in himself and his capability to do his job he can't and he's not capable of asking the attorney general questions maybe he should step down to resign and allow somebody else that. this is high stakes really in bar because

members of congress are already saying that he lied to congress lying to congress is a crime and it could get you sent. to prison what they're arguing here is that when muller gave barr his summary bar than in just a couple days later put out a four page summary of what he thinks the report said he was asked about this in. testimony before the senate under oath and they said what are all these reports that muller was upset and are said i have no idea what you're talking about well it turns out that robert mueller the special counsel had sent a letter before that to bar saying exactly that he was upset with the way bar was handling the special counsel's probe was that a lie to congress well house speaker nancy pelosi has come out and said that he lied to congress and it's a crime but you want to see how the committee has decided to proceed next up though the big testimony we're waiting to see is if the democrats can get robert muller this former special counsel before them they say they want to hear directly from the man who invested that gave you the president as whether the president of the united states committed crimes facebook has

faultlines is next on al-jazeera stay with us. when her fiance lives behind bars. the engagement becomes a life sentence. zero world hears from three palestinian women whose lives have been dictated by their relationships with men in prison. wedding on hold on al-jazeera. the truth is that an active shooter attack on campus is what we do the most frightening experience of your life the more we care the more we practice and you are. the more.

mass shootings have become a grim part of american life. there are more than three hundred in two thousand and eighteen alone all of which have four more victims who were killed or injured. behind the reality that when it comes to gun violence no place is sacred malls movie theaters places of worship even schools. but these shootings continue to happen this is where i carry curse every day with me. little baby earth . and that's why i carry him with me all the time. in the is as crazy as it sounds this really does give me peace doesn't it does that i have him with me all the time. even though he's in there a little piece of him in sit in there it makes me feel good that i still carry my son with me. in this episode of faultlines we explore the long lasting trauma of

mass shootings on a generation of survivors and victims' families. and the new normal that day and the country continues to reconcile. two thousand and eighteen was the worst year on record for gun violence in us schools. and the majority were killed in two mass shootings. one of those was in a small city south of houston texas called santa fe. the worst thing you have to worry about missing a fake is literally get run over by cow i said that. and here i am rushing to school because most saw got shut. out i had bought a credit. card to the not only without anyone i was. american. i started running in the us see like cobbs running.

i don't really remember much. heart that aren't going to go under fire are. often. seen moms crying seeing people reunited with their kids and. it was just waiting for chris. who we met work. tracking new developments in a plane just crashed last year it's santa fe high school in texas. i'm eighteen two thousand and eighteen this became the side of the twenty ninth mass shooting that year. say the suspect carried out the attack with a shotgun and handgun both taken from his father after planting explosives inside the high school. the seventeen year old gunman

a student at the school killed ten people. among them was his football team a chris rosie stone song. he was such a sentimental kid. he was not shot a cry. he was a mama's boy one hundred percent mama's boy. we met rosie and chris is older sisters angelica mercedes at her brother's home about a five minute drive from santa fe high school. when i took him to prom his junior prom the saturday before most kids don't want their mom and dad there. he wanted me there. but that's just who chris was i i taught my kids. family was everything. for christmas sisters living happy memories does help them cope in the months afterward. the three amigos. he was only one had

committed so goofy face. but the trauma of losing chris changed their lives in ways they're still coming to terms with your good days where you don't cry as much. you don't want to just stay at home all day. and then you have your really bad days where you just want to talk to them. even what they. want to hear is. chris would have wanted. me not to put my life on the field. and i haven't. but every day i think about him. got a phone call i think about it constantly make one phone call changed my life forever like that second and every moment while chris is being killed. will she never have to think of their kid or their brother or sister like that. it's been

particularly hard for rosie. she told us she hasn't been able to sleep for more than three hours at a time since her son was killed. there is not a place in my home. and that's what makes it hard. so what i do is a spin couple of hours every single day at my house. i haven't tried to stay the night there yet. eight months on and you haven't spent the night back in that house you know i can't. i really can't. just a lot of memories so it's hard for her to. do it. like little things from taking up the trash like chris took out the trash chris about the dogs like it's just hard. to see instead finds peace in an unlikely place. where the shooting happened. right

here see that door. that's the art room where my son was and is going to ministration there's plenty to tear down the part of the building where people were killed the rosie has been fighting to keep it i literally go in there and i sit. in chris's spot. and i'll sit there for me about thirty forty five minutes nobody talks to me or not then i don't say nothin i just sit there. and when i leave i feel a little better because. that's when chris took his last breath. you know i was there when he took his first one and i wanted to be where he took his last one of. those he is haunted by how chris is death could have been avoided. and like many others in santa fe which sits in the heart of texas gun country her focus has been on improving school safety measures not gun control

. i don't blame the gun. it wasn't a gun that walked in there by itself and killed my son parents need to be held responsible gun owners need to be held responsible rosie supports expanding background checks for people buying firearms ever and she also believes that guns can keep her and her family safe in fact after chris's death rosie and her daughters got licenses to carry concealed hangups i do feel like it's a safe tool i don't like that now our students feel that way and i don't like that that our kids feel like they have to have some kind of weapon in order to make it in this world but that's the reality that we live in. that reality means that as parents in their kids to school they're now thinking of ways to keep them safe there. and there's a growing industry to help them. lockdown drill right now if this was your

classroom this is the only door in and out where would your teacher have you go and go there now. don't just go. this is a class for kids as young as eight years old called school say. it's one hundred eighty eight tactical a private company in omaha nebraska. it's meant to supplement the lockdown drills which are now conducted in nine out of tempo schools across the country what it is representing to us six desks we have what you know what does. teacher tell you do stay close until the thank god we. leave i know what if the gun shooter comes in your classroom. if somebody came in that door right now and pointed a gun in this direction do we know that desk is going to help out. no so what would we what would we do if someone pointed a gun in this direction over the course of two and a half hours. the kids learn different self-defense strategies based on the run

hide fight model we're going to run away from the bad guys are you guys ready you're going to do it for. the instructors retired police sergeant and believes the kids need more perforation to evade and even fight off an attacker then they're currently getting in most schools go go go go go go right. mind. trying to scare and we're not trying to turn them into swat commanders or anything like that is just to give them some information and give them some strategies so if something were to happen in their little part of the world they would have an idea of what to do. i'm just going to come in with my hands open like this like a catcher and i'm going to come in and grab this here. and hang on tight right somebody's coming in here what does that say about our effort to educate our

children that they are in their minds preparing to potentially be killed in their own school i mean as unlikely as it is it doesn't feel that way to or kids we don't know how that's going to affect an entire generation we john cox is a reporter for the washington post who's investigated the impact of gun violence on children including the psychological toll of lockdown drills at schools someone has to get the gun i'm shooting people right now school shootings are no more common now than they were in the one nine hundred ninety s. and the likelihood of a child dying in. one remains low. but after each mass shooting the demand for schools and kids to be prepared goes up. so we know that lock downs can be incredibly frightening but should we not have the kid do the drill and then the day comes and they have no idea what to do that's probably not a trade that parents or teachers would make go. to.

bed is the reality until we as a country make some really significant changes for the shootings from occurring in the first place or your bill paying off i know we've talked about running i mean fighting we haven't talked about giving aid all right this is just a brief little thing about pleading control and it will work on kids your age and it will tie one not whom but the pencils in their. mouths watching your presentation i thought this was curious enough to talk to kids about a woman get shot in the medium bleeding on the mall what do you think about that he took his talk but i did do it i believe our kids know about this kind of stuff all right and i don't believe in a lot of respects that we give our kids credit enough for being able to handle what it is that needs to be talked about and because of that that's where we were very blunt or just very straightforward it's going to hurt. more the way about see that than anything in the prison.
