you take. out just era. of the news and current affairs that matter to you. down to 0. to a a. a a a a. this is al-jazeera. hello everyone i'm felicity barr and welcome to this news hour live from london coming up in the next 60 minutes. just imagine what iran would deal therefore able to freely purchase more advanced weapons the u.s. announces new unilateral sanctions on iran a decision that's finding little support from its european allies. the scars of the better roost political crisis and opposition leader meets the e.u.

and demand sanctions against president alexander lukashenko. donald trump says he'll announce his nominee to replace ruth bader ginsburg in the supreme court by saturday. and the global death toll from covert 90 nears 1000000 as government struggle to control the outbreak. i'm sorry hire some have all the sports know about jock which makes history in rome the serbian wins the italian open to see a record 36 masters 1000 title. follow u.s. secretary of state's mike pompei or has announced a raft of new sanctions on those involved in iran's defense sectors 27 entities and individuals have been hits with new measures including the iranian defense ministry or by us also announced sanctions on the venezuelan president nicolas maduro he's

built a close relationship with terror on us as warm that anyone connected to the sale or transfer of conventional weapons to iran will face sanctions just imagine what iran would be therefore able to freely purchase more advanced weapons we have no intention of letting that happen. the president's executive order announced today gives us a new and powerful tool to enforce the u.n. arms embargo and hold those who seek to evade u.n. sanctions accountable today i will take the 1st action under this new executive order by sanctioning the are a ministry of defense and armed forces logistics and iran's defense industries organization and its director. is in terror on how small in the iranian response to those u.s. sanctions. we had foreign minister say that these new sanctions are nothing new that the intention of the united states was to bring the population to its knees

and they have failed but what the real question is how iran will respond to the united states and how the united states decides to impose the these u.n. sanctions as they see it now within iran lots of political differences the president hassan rouhani and his reformist are defending the deal domestically because there has been some opposition to it but the conservative and hardliners who make up the majority of parliament well they want a stronger response if those sanctions are put back in place in fact the head of the commission of foreign policy and national security has said that iran should return to pre-judge a nuclear state which means that a high level of enrichment more centrifuges more advanced centrifuges should be used and nuclear propellant should be used to aid iran's navy and there's also suggestions from some of the conservatives here that iran should reduce its cooperation with the i.a.e.a. in terms of reducing or limiting the amount of inspections that take place but

president hassan rouhani is very much vested in the. 2015 nuclear deal and he's policy and he's allies policy is wait and see what happens and then looking forward to the u.s. elections but ultimately iran's response will come down to how the united states reacts of what the united states does if they start stopping iranian ships and also how the united nations and other countries around the world will react if they willingly or reluctantly start to give in to u.s. pressure and start imposing these sanctions then we could very much see a very tough or a tougher stance a response coming from iran well chris insulin you can join us live now from the united nations christine we know these are unilateral sanctions must stress that so what has been the wider international reaction to this u.s. announcement. well it's interesting the united states attempted to get support from the international community for re imposing sanctions by

attempting to invoke wits known as the snap back provision of the iran nuclear deal under that deal any of the signatories could indeed trigger the sag sanctions to come back if there was a violation but the catch is the united states would drew from that deal under president trump 2 years ago so while the united states has gotten some support for its maximum pressure campaign against iran from countries like israel and some of the gulf states here at the united nations among the signatories to bad deal no one else has gone along. with the u.s. position on this even on the security council its closest allies the europeans have essentially said that the united states has no power to recall these international sanctions because it is no longer a part of the deal and members of the security council 11 letters have been written

to the president stating that position that the united states is not able to reimpose international sanctions putting the u.n. secretary general in an awkward position as well because the united states has asked him to reestablish a sanctions committee the united states being the host country for the united nations the largest funder the largest donor for operations here the secretary general however saying that because the security council has been divided on this issue that he is powerless to move forward without unity from the security council so really the united states here on the international stage is going it alone and is interesting isn't it kristen that neither the u.s. president or did the secretary of state all way you are right now the united nations which of course is covering marking its 75th anniversary. absolutely and to be fair no heads of state are here physically because of the

coronavirus pandemic tomorrow is the big kickoff to the general assembly the general debate and most of those speeches will be given all of those speeches except for the secretary general will be given a videotaped performance and president trump will send a speech in there however today for the big 75th anniversary celebration the kickoff event the host country the united states was given this honorary spot to present a speech to give a speech and not only is the was the president not giving that speech or the secretary of state the u.n. ambassador did not give this speech either it was relegated to the acting deputy ambassador for the united states to kick things off here at the united nations and ironically the theme of the event is multi-lateralism and the united states didn't even show up at a time when the u.n.

is trying to get countries to work together particularly to deal with the coronavirus pandemic the secretary general antonio good terrorists said that there are abundance of an abundance of multilateral issues that need addressing and not a lot of solutions climates come i mean. biodiversity. is again rising hates it's spreading geopolitical tensions escalate a nuclear weapons remain on hand to be going. through his formative technologies have opened up new opportunities but also exposed new sense and the coffee 19 pandemic is laid bare for the g 8. we can only address them together. actually general antonio caetera she's speaking a little area all right still to come on this hour is there are news are.

rare protests in egypt demonstrators are demanding president after fattah el-sisi step down plus i will see a new one in the region of southern chile where a confrontation with indigenous mob just isn't time to fly. the los angeles lakers secure a last 2nd will it be a be a playoffs. first european union foreign ministers have failed to agree on sanctions against belarus officials suspected of election fraud or playing a part in the recent crackdown on protests the u.s. considering asset freezes and travel bans all around 40 people but cyprus is blocking the sanctions until similar measures are imposed on turkey is not in baba reports. in the prisons they were and

tortured. harris and trade bellerose his opposition leader paying tribute to pro-democracy protesters in her country which she fled after last month's presidential election widely seen as rick didn't favor of alexander lukashenko so i've learned to cut off sky i was speaking at the european parliament in brussels once again calling for sanctions on senior officials so i proceed to your friends to help us with basic things to get nice mr illegitimate to release political prisoners to introduce individual sanctions against all individuals involved in their election possibly cations and political credit down earlier she held talks with said. really you foreign ministers ahead of their meeting telling them applying sanctions quickly could force the belarusian government to enter a dialogue with the opposition coordination council that have been going so hard to

make their progress we will have to discuss the question of whether they shouldn't because those who participated in election making and those who participated in abuse directly who face european union sanctions we must also ask ourselves the question of whether mr looking schenker who bears the main responsibility should also be sanctioned by the european union it's not just sanctions also we have to report to do to support civil society we have to support the media and we have to not just express and part of the people which are suffering the suffering still as we speak being called and cast in the daughter of an ape and definitely in the service our attention will possibly independent international investigation. on sunday once again crowds demonstrated in the belorussian capital minsk and other cities activists put the number of minutes get around a 100000 similar to previous weekend rallies. police say they arrested more than

400 protesters with more than 307 custody but the e.u. can't impose sanctions like travel bans and asset freezes unless all 27 member states agree. cyprus has been accused of blocking sanctions on better or worse until similar measures are applied to turkey over its energy exploration efforts in the eastern mediterranean in the end the foreign ministers failed to reach a decision the e.c. is now set to be discussed at the leaders' summit on thursday al-jazeera. now u.s. president donald trump says he'll announce his nominee for the supreme court by saturday he says he's looking at 5 candidates for a place the liberal justice ruth bader ginsburg who died on friday and he was the senate to vote on confirm the nominee the for the knave and the 3rd and action. following events for us at the white house now and what else the president have to say bill is clear that he is intending to get this done as quickly as possible he

wants to put the name in front of the senate at some point by the weekend he's already said he'll wait till after the memorial services have been held for the late justice ruth bader ginsburg that would suggest that saturday is the most likely day given that she is going to lie in state on capitol hill on friday the 1st woman in american history to be given that the president himself while he's on his we do a couple of campaign events but he says he wants the senate to act and to act quickly. i would say on friday or saturday i'll be announcing the pick. 5 women are being. looked at in vetted very carefully. by. and we'll make a decision probably saturday but friday or saturday well i'd much rather have a vote before the election because there's a lot of work to be done and i'd much rather have it we have plenty of time to do

it i mean there's really a lot of time. so let's say i make the announcement on saturday there's a great deal of time before the election that will be up to mitch in the senate but i'd certainly much rather have the vote i think it sends a good signal. and it's solidarity and lots of other things that i'm just doing my constitutional obligation i have an obligation to do this. ok here's what's interesting mitch mcconnell who is the republican leader in the senate has been speaking in the last couple of hours he says there will be a vote by the end of the year no that's important because it suggests that he doesn't believe he might be able to get this done by november 3rd so pushing it towards the end of the year which is when we come congress ends session but it also means what mitch mcconnell being a wily political operator that the whole idea of justices and particular vacancies on the supreme court go in front of the voters on november the 3rd and we know that

there was a quarter of those who said that they supported donald trump in 2016 did so because of his stance on the supreme court and putting more conservatives there and also the judiciary as a whole across america where he wanted a lot more younger conservative voices joe biden's been out in the last couple of hours as well what's he been speaking about or he didn't mention the supreme court at all he's going to continue to concentrate on covert the unemployment rate and how the republicans might react to changes in health care not least how the supreme court might vote about health changes in health care he sees that is a much better prospect for gaining votes then going on about the supreme court however things are going to continue over the next couple of days with both sides battling with each other over what is the best way to proceed republicans say no the democrats insisting this is something that should be delayed until after

november 3rd. at the white house for us thank you. the global death toll from covert 19 is nearing a 1000000 and the resurgence of the coronavirus is forcing some nations to rethink their strategies the united kingdom has started imposing tighter restrictions the government's top medical adviser says if things continue on their current course virus related deaths could spiral out of control prime minister boris johnson will chair an emergency response meeting on tuesday in spain parts of the capital madrid are back in lockdown the country has reported more than 100000 cases in the past 2 weeks france has also seen record numbers of daily deaths well the united states is the world's worst affected country and it's expected to pass 200000 deaths shortly across africa the centers for disease control says infection numbers have now passed 1400000 south africa has nearly half the continent's total cases

of more now on those warnings across europe may parker has this report from london the british government's been accused of sleep walking into a 2nd surge of coronavirus if so this was the alarm call dispassionate data delivered by the u.k. said chief medical and scientific officers showing a doubling of infections every week let's say there were 5000 today would be 10000 next week 20000 a week after 40000 that week of them and you can see that by mid october if that continued you would end up with something like $50000.00 cases in the middle of october per day more infections mean the likelihood of more deaths urgent action is needed elsewhere in europe spains ruled out a 2nd national lockdown favoring partial restrictions where contagion levels are highest in the capital madrid police checkpoints are back the city's poorest areas

are suffering the most a blow for businesses already on the breadline. in the czech republic a surge in cases has cost the country's health minister his job restrictions lifted months ago and now likely to return. from screes and denmark have also imposed measures in virus hot spots for health authorities in italy say the average age of patients is creeping up risking more death governments across europe are wrestling with a worsening health emergency an ongoing economic crisis leaders are having to walk a very challenging fine line between controlling covert 19 and inadvertently fueling unemployment and poverty britain is now at the same tipping point more than 13000000 people are already facing restrictions and curfews in the north of england and the midlands the capital could be next in the absence of

a vaccine and while testing remains inadequate because of a shortage of laboratory capacity there are very few options and little time to lose people london all right well let's take a closer look at the situation in the united states and he got a guest joining us live from miami and andy there's been some confusion over guidance on the airborne transmission of the coronavirus tell us more about. you know this came from the center for disease control and prevention which is the premiere resource for millions of americans here to give them objective information about the pandemic on friday they issued a report on their website that suggested that the pandemic could spread through the air something scientists call aerosols now that is extremely important because that could change public policy that could change the approach to tackling this pandemic when it comes to things like office spaces businesses schools and colleges and

there are many people in the scientific community that believe that covert 19 does spread through the air essentially as well within 6 feet so sial distance and guideline that we've talked about many times before now just a few hours ago they then took that advice down saying that it was a mistake made on their web site that it hadn't been vetted which really raises the specter of whether the trumpet ministration very close to a presidential election has interfered some way with the center for disease control it's not the 1st time the c.d.c. has changed advice they've come up for a great deal of criticism for doing that but it certainly is an issue for many people especially in the democratic party the other side of this is that they are perhaps refining that advice and they will release that advice to the general public but given that we are on the cusp of exceeding 200000 deaths in this country the timing really couldn't be worse yeah i mean and the u.s. nearing that terrible milestone 200000 deaths from cave it how significant is that

to people there are they paying strict attention to those fake. i mean i think they're paying attention to the figures but on a wider scale there is nobody here whose life has not been touched by this pandemic the figures here are the worst globally in the world and you know i've met a lot of people over the past 6 months who've either contract to the virus themselves lost a loved one perhaps lost their business and of course many people have also lost their jobs as well so the figures are one thing but this pandemic is you know it's really affecting everybody's lives we've got this slight uptick in cases now here in the united states with places like texas and california showing a steady increase in cases and of course the next few weeks we're going to go into the flu season and things possibly could get even worse. in miami thank you

as chile's indigenous mcleish a conflict escalates some are hoping that the writing of a new constitution could lay the ground for reconciliation and peace in the tribal torn region of southern chile the future groups fighting for incest land rights and a heightened presence of militarized police have increased violence in that region on that america at a silly sea in human reports from co. 21 year old man brandon and lucas when the gone was brought up to respect julian institutions including the police that is until the day 4 years ago when a special forces officer shot him in the back at point blank range in front of his house the no apparent reason. i remember all our dogs ran up to me and started licking my blood off the floor like an animal i could see the hole in my back that's when i think it was 17 operations later he's still carrying more than 100 lead pellets in his body yet what has most enraged the family is the fact that the

offending officer is still free despite all the evidence against him now brandon's once docile mapuche a mother has become a tireless activist for months ago the family took older 200 hectares of this land that legally belongs to a chilean family rather than fight the owners met them i put your family stayed in the exit they were discovered and mobile there's no equality or justice for them uppity here there's only justice for the rich and powerful this land recovery's a way to compensate for the damage they've done many are afraid to do this but we have thick skins to resist all the prosecutions and mediations. brandon is by no means the only man who's been wrongfully shot killed or imprisoned by police for. centuries of injustice and discrimination are feeding rebellion and armed groups are increasingly resorting to violence to expel those whom they

say have usurped their land and driven them into poverty nearly 140 years ago the chilean state recognized them approaches ownership of much of this territory through a land titles called to tell us the mayor says today most chileans believe it's too late to turn the clock back and return the land to the mob or just which raises the all important question is there any room for compromise so that the chilean state and them approaches can co-exist in peace. and he said an emblematic mcclinton uncle or chief was wrongfully imprisoned for 5 years under chile's controversial antiterrorism law today he condemns the violence carried out by whom he calls a minority of map which of radicals look at what lies ahead this terrible no one says it but this violence the killing of innocent people will bring sorrow or more 40 to all of us the divisions among us our tragedy but remus do our best.

pushes protested outside accusing the dean of betrayal he and other long state officials last week to present a 12 point list of demands they include recognition of the language culture social order and autonomy in their territory. the current constitution doesn't recognize indigenous peoples existence but next month chileans are almost certain to approve the creation of a new constitution which could pave the way for significant changes he said wanted to see hopefully a new constitution if it recognises chillers indigenous people will help but he won't guarantee respect which is very different but it's an important step. that the my putting and children's rights activist believes teaching chileans to recognize and respect my particular street and culture are key. but while there is growing public support for them up which is cause distrust of the chilean state and

its institutions remain deep rooted. how much both sides are willing to concede especially on the crucial issue of land ownership would terminate whether or not there can be peace in this volatile region. you see in yemen al jazeera will you believe cheney. there is plenty more still to come on this al-jazeera news hour including cleaning up after a catastrophic floods in sudan struggles with rampant inflation and soaring food prices. officials in botswana believe they've discovered what is behind the mysterious deaths of hundreds of elephants in the world famous orca back at delta. and simona halep looking unstoppable heading into the french open tennis action coming up shortly.

however we've got some colder fresher weather pushing into northwestern parts of you a big line of plow coming in him that will slide his way further south which is a cold front hence the the cooler air tucking in behind it ahead of it so quite a rash of showers there into central and southern france easing across italy and also into the balkans and that's all going to slide its way further south which in these was as we go on through wednesday still a few showers in play through central province towards the northwest as well as still some showers there across by and portugal the dry weather the prize of whether the sunny weather that's for a spin up towards the northwest as i said this system will sink further south which you can see the temperature in london falling away quite sharply as we go through whedon's day in fact you're looking at something like a 10 degree drop from choose day to friday just 1415 celsius for the back half of the week here but at least it should be. bright if

a little breezy breezy too across northern parts of africa certainly into northern areas of egypt's northern parts of libya also seeing some of that breezy weather filtering through heavy showers across central africa some big downpours a possibility hey ben in togo seeing some heavy showers longer spells of rain it runs away across the ivory coast all the way to liberia. deported from the u.k. and indoctrinated by somalia's unsure about how the young man disillusioned by 5 months rebuild his life because i am an expert who's going to make a mistake or they are killed and reunite is from africa is no not call me it's awful my kid lost warrior a witness documentary on a jersey you can't stay here. when

the news breaks and racism protests continue in a number of cities across the united states when people need to be heard in this trial so they are relying on nearly 500 homes were destroyed and about 80 percent of this land does al-jazeera has teams on the ground people are just talking about wind and solar as if that's going to solve the problem it won't bring you more room moved to new documentaries and light moves on a sunday online. the . on again undermined at the top stories here on al-jazeera u.s. secretary of state mike compare as announcer rovs of new sanctions on those

involved in a bronze defense sector has 27 entities and individuals being hit with new measures including the rain and defense ministry. european union foreign ministers have failed to agree on sanctions against belarus officials suspected of election fraud or playing a part in the recent crackdown on protests the u.s. considers asset freezes and travel bans on about 40 people. and as the global death toll from coated 90 nears a 1000000 the resurgence of the coronavirus is forcing some nations to rethink their strategy chief medical officers in the u.k. are warning that without further action new cases could reach 50000 a day by mid october or the us is approaching 200000 deaths. or so without subject because we're now joined by dr a senior scholar at the johns hopkins center for health security saluting source of

global data on the current a virus which is why it's great to have you with us on this news out of being with us there clearly is now resurgence in infections in several parts of the world's notably europe what is the right way forward in your opinion to be dealing with these resurgence has. the right way for it to me is going back to the basics being able to test trace and isolate these individuals that are infected we know that the virus hasn't gone anywhere that it's going to continue to play or any time there's social interaction we need to build the public health infrastructure to be able to deal with those cases and be very targeted with public health interventions that are focused on what is spreading the virus and not being in and having blanket recommendations that also will hurt harm people who are doing activities that don't lead to the spread of the virus well that's the problem isn't it from from a health perspective clearly the obvious way to clamp down on the infections is to introduce a lot of restrictions that's clearly obvious but from the government's perspective

those are sick sions can destroy a country's economy it can affect people's health in other ways how can governments possibly try to balance those 2 songs i think it's not so much about balancing but just looking at the data trying to understand what is spreading the infection in your in your province in your country and then taking action against those specific actions so for example it might be drinking at bars it might be large mass gatherings those types of things then you you will target and leave other parts of the economy alone we know that politicians and government officials often think think short term but we can't think short term with a virus like this we have to think long term we have to think about a sustainable approach that will make this a much more manageable condition and not put hospitals into crisis on the one hand but also not completely forget about all of the other aspects of people's lives that get impacted by stay at home orders or lock downs a sustainable approach of course until there is

a vaccine where is the well right now in regards to having a viable vaccine we know of course they don't trump a said well every american will have access to a vaccine by april next year but what is the truth of it. we are moving very rapidly i do think at least for the developed world in mid 2021 likely they will have access to a vaccine health care workers high risk individuals maybe late 2020 that's if everything goes perfectly but for the world as a whole to have coven $1000.00 removed as a threat it's going to take some years to be able to get enough vaccination around the world and this is going to be one of the most daunting challenges that we face in terms of vaccination there are many logistical challenges that need to be worked out so this is something we need to be able to develop a system even in the absence of a vaccine or even as the vaccine is rolling out to be able to manage because we have to find a way to be able to make risk calculations and give people the tools including testing tracing and isolating to be able to live it amidst this virus for some

period of time all right great to get your expertise let's talk to joining us there from baltimore maryland thank you thank you well a number of confirmed coronavirus cases in argentina has now passed $600000.00 south america's 2nd largest nation struggles to bring its infection rates under control after early successes infections have soared in recent months on the virus is now spreading from its focal point in the capital cyrus into the provinces so as to raise it though reports. the intensive care unit in this one site is hospital has been on the front lines of the fight against 19. as patients here struggle to stay alive doctors and nurses have become their main sources for comfort and support. do your kind of a nurse tested positive for the virus after recovering he returned to the job he loves. the reality is what we see here is this fight against death we are

making an effort so a person can recover but sometimes it's difficult because their bodies are in a very bad shape and many believe this is a joke an underestimate the virus but this virus kills. a few months ago the hospital was forced to close this unit because of the number of infections among health care workers even argentina was one of the 1st countries in latin america to impose a lockdown the virus has continued to spread but the quarantine was crucial to allow the health ministry to get ready for the workers who are here in the intensive care unit never public hospital in web sites and what we're being told is that they build this more for example in the past month among other things to protect the health care workers. this is the the hospital in what our site is named after the wife of former president but on since march the hospital has increased its i.c.u.

beds from 4 to 24. only runs the hospital and says the pandemic shows the importance of the public health care system when it comes to saving lives put on the little case that hello we have a profound sense of what public health means we have policies that promotes the right to health and that makes us proud there are more vaccines there are more supplies with hard more people there is a pandemic that is killing health workers destroying families we have the time to prepare and that's crucial i argentina has been a lock down for 6 months but the government has been slowly opening up some sectors of the economy in an effort to save jobs despite an infection rate that remains high in greater want to. the situation is different in other parts of the country reports indicate that cove in 1000 east breading 2 provinces that a few months ago had 0 cases in the city of all ran in northern argentina hospitals are also under strain. the moment i'll tell you the truth this is hilde stay at

home get bored toy your software out enjoy your children paint do whatever you can stay at home 10 seconds out on the street is like having a loaded gun to your chest it's preferable to bore yourself out at home than to come here and cry out god don't take me or to cry out for oxygen. early on argentina successfully managed to contain the spread of corbin $1000.00 now authorities are hoping the health care system will be stable enough to cope with the uncertainty in the months ahead that is how. lebanon's president as what his country is descending into hell unless a new unity cabinet can be formed saying in a televised address 85 year old michel aoun called for competing political parties to come together for the good of the nation which is suffering an economic crisis the prime minister elect must needs to form

a fresh cabinet in order to bring in reforms that will trigger billions of dollars in foreign aid parts of sudan are bracing for more heavy rains even as the cleanup from earlier floods is continuing although 120 people have so far been killed in the floods and at least 100000 homes have been damaged him or going to has more now from river nile stace in sudan. the river nile is starting to recede here in sudan after causing devastating floods which has affected more than 770000 people countrywide and destroyed more than 140000 homes now most of the damage has been along the areas that lie on the banks of the nile river one of them being this area of chicago and river in our state now people here say more than 100 homes have been completely damaged you can see some of the damages here they say that last rains have completely collapsed resulting in sewage water coming out and this is the

water level for the past 12 days now they say they have not seen the water receding yet and they're concerned about water borne diseases they said that they wanted the government to come and spray pesticide insecticide so that they can kill the moscow lover now that all hasn't happened and they're saying that they don't know what will come next because there has been no plan given to them by the government in terms of compensation the government says that the effects of the damage will be felt for months and it's very hard to conclude how much was lost financially and how many people will be affected long term by the floods but people here say they know what their needs are they know that they need shelters they know that they need medication and they know that they need pesticides so many demands that they say the government needs to respond to in time so that the effects of the floods are not felt for a long time to come also turns floods coinciding with the nation's economic crisis and that is hampering aid efforts the currency is declining against the u.s. dollar leading to rampant inflation at a shop increase in prices i'm going to die reports.

from really hard hopes things would get better for them after the removal of saddam's longtime leader. but a year and a half later the prices of basic goods are still sorting an officer who is disabled and makes falafel or being quick to support a family is finding it hard to make ends meet. of course this life is very hard prices are increasing by the day and some days we eat some days we don't. a week ago the sudanese government declared a state of economy can buy jency the move for a shop declined by the sudanese pound against the dollar since then inflation has risen to a record 106 to 7 percent with prices of essential commodities like bread and sugar rising to more than double long queues for bread are now visible almost everywhere . if we are forced to wait in queues for more than 3 hours at

a time to buy bread just 10 pieces of bread the elderly who can't stand for long are really suffering we're all suffering the inflation has also affected the provision of aid to tens of thousands of people displaced by the week's long flooding in 17 of sudan's 18 states aid agencies say they're forced to deal with a huge shortfall in funding actually it has been quite catastrophic if i may. when we receive let's say a dollar only $0.25 of that maximum is what we're able to use because of the inflation last july inflation was at 144 percent in august was almost 167 percent so that means our ability to buy things is only 25 percent sedans transitional government blames the decline of the currency what it calls a systematic operation to vandalize the economy by those opposing it well i'm the guy when have it in for has when we will crack down heavily on those trying to

manipulate the markets we won't be united in doing this as a government we will also introduce regulations for import and export of god and yet some people are blaming the government itself for the crisis. the minimum wage from $5.00 to $60.00. in the country's history a broken with more resources over it's own the government opted to fund increment by printing more money something done on a perth before the economic decline u.s. secretary of state might pump recently raised hopes of but the economic prospects here when he announced the possible removal of saddam from its rule of state sponsors of terrorism perhaps even before the us elections in november that would allow saddam to shed its but i a status attract foreign investors and once again access credit from institutions like the i.m.f. and world bank but diplomats say that's hinged on sudan 1st normalizing relations
