read about a crackdown and protest because a stand province which approved fatal over dwindling water supplies. and i says, one of his goals is to end government corruption. what, how de bashi is a professor of radian studies at columbia university is joining us live from new york is very good to have with us. the knowledge is either so thank you very much. indeed. we heard the new president say just a moment ago, he was not going to connect the airlines economy to the lifting of the us sanctions . is it possible to do that or the 2 intertwined? they are, the 2 are intertwined. it is impossible. iranian economy is massive. oil base is a economy predicated on the sale of oil and domestic gross national product is not sufficient. and as it is all the impact of the u. s. that sanctions against over the last 2 decades at least even more have been devastating and iranian economy.

and he is desperate to revive, as he said in the speech that you put on the nuclear deal. because a piece, some of the sanctions, not all the sanctions would be removed and iran can be incorporated back into world economy. but that is not the only problem that is facing right now. he's facing massive economic repercussions of the cool with christ. it's more than 100000 people have been killed iranian, their house system is not sufficient, is not prepared to deal with this massive consequences. but there are also economic consequences to the as all misuse in all the countries around the globe. so the combination is a deadly combination of the, the sanctions that have been in operation from the last 2 decades, plus the economic consequences of it make it almost impossible. however, however, it's not a public is a regime of crisis. they survive in prices right down there. is another crisis

which is the drought. so the iran people don't have drinking water. now the environmental issues are not limited to southern iran is around the goals that nobody is paying attention. it does not is not limited to the iranian context. at the same time they seem self has a chip on his shoulder because he was elected with the least attention of the public. they don't have trust in him. he is, he has had criminal involvement with my murdering prisons back into 19 eighties. and like porcupine, all the defensive mechanism of this from the public or out, the population is not satisfied, the use is not satisfied. iranian economy is in shambles, but as i said, it's not public. always a surprise with a crisis. there is one crisis that you get in your segment, the bench,

and she's the brewing crisis in afghan, as with the coming of the taller bone and the collapse of descent. so administration of the withdrawal of the, of the united states. iran wants to have a share in the consequences of post to us taller bon, a regime in afghanistan. all of them together means that the conditioning, the iran is unsustainable. so far as the $18000000.00 plus population to be honest and certainly let the state will survive yet the statements you're making with regard to the situation in the 1988 with regard to the prisoners there and also obligations of human rights abuses which i understand to national i believe other groups of made as well. of course, these are allegations that the president would of course deny, given the circumstances those allegations are out there. how much does it matter whether or not to the people of iran support the president or not when it comes to getting things done and trying to make changes?

first of all, it is more than allegations. he himself has said, yes, i have done things and i'm proud of them. i was safe part in just on the republic. so we have beyond allegations. second, as i said, there are 2 issues. you have a massively dissatisfied population. more than 80 percent of them are under the age of 40, have no, no memory of this on the revolution, and they couldn't get less. so this state is in the mood of surviving is the survival of a state rather than the idea of the nation. the state, the country is suffering economically, socially political isolations come back and it the role that it has played in the region in syria, in yemen, in palestine, in lebanon. it has spread itself to sin for it to be able to even attend to the immediate needs of $80000000.00 iranian population. but so far as this state apparatus is concerned, because it is alternately, a guerrilla operation is not more than to state. it is in self defense mechanism.

it will survive debussy, we appreciate your time, so thank you very much for joining us on our 0. my pleasure. my pleasure. well, the u. s. has returned more than 17000 looted treasures to iraq, dating back for 5 years and years. most of the ancient artifacts was stolen after the us led invasion of iraq in 2003. the return follows the iraqi prime minister's visit to washington last week. with the head reports from baghdad, the be covering memory and identity. this is how he likes for the minister describes the return of these antiquities from the united states. does leim some posh. we have received 17321 pieces from the united states. 9 from japan, 7 from the netherlands, and one from italy. therefore, the total number as $17338.00 returned pieces. this year,

dated between 3704000 years ago. some of these artifacts would eluted from the national museum in baghdad. others were excavated from archaeological sites across the country. and i will not flat up we have on our side local law of international convention. and the laws of the countries which our antiquities with smuggle to so smugglers are condemned by such laws and will eventually be forced to return the pieces. according to the culture, ministry, and dad, most of the pieces relate to trade deal during the some medium period. one of the earliest known civilizations in the super tamia. now southern iraq, one in particular though, was the gilgamesh dream tablet. with text from one of the world's oldest works of literature. during the use of conflict in iraq, thousands of antiquities have been looted, not a killer cal sites, destroyed, officially, many precious artifacts on

a still unaccounted form. thousands of priceless items went missing from the national museum in baghdad. after the 2003 us led invasion, an ancient statues and monuments were either destroyed by isolate or under consecutive iraqi governments suffer damage and neglect the thousands of return and artifacts are now back in baghdad. for iraqis who feared they had lost a huge part of their heritage to enjoy without the worship elder 0, but that they have been seen of shame and anger in canada and united states after mass graves were uncovered. indigenous boarding schools across the countries for more than a century. tens of thousands of native children were shipped off to government boarding schools as rob runaway reports from the u. s. city of mission and south dakota because enormous damage. these are the ruins of an old native

american boarding school on the rose bud reservation in south dakota until the 1900 seventy's. more than $350.00 such schools were set up with the explicit goal of eradicating native american culture. erase in replace, erase language replaced the english race, spirituality, religion replaced with christianity by 1900. more than half of all native children lived in the strictly regimented institutions. corporal punishment, physical punishment, malnutrition, certainly we know, sexual abuse. they were hellish institutions by any definition of the term. no one is sure how many children died in the system. recently the remains of 9 lakotas children who died at a school more than a century ago were returned for burial on their native land. the boarding school system not only did harm to the children who were caught up in it,

it also severely damaged native american societies. with the facts that have been felt generation after generation. native american youth commit suicide 2 and a half times more than the general population. the rate of alcohol and drug abuse among native americans is higher than for any other group. they have lower life expectancy. there are many reasons for these problems. but boarding schools played a role. recently us interior secretary, deb holland, herself a native american announced and an official investigation into the boarding school program to promote spiritual and emotional healing in our communities. we must shed light on the unspoken trauma of the past. no matter how hard it will be to jungle or yacht a la coat member, lin cologne says her own mother never had a chance to learn parenting skills during her youth in a boarding school. well, just missed out on learning from their own home and learning from their own

families on being so simple as showing affection her niece desta, cologne, reflects on the pain the system caused her family. because of the way my grandmother was treated in the schools, it caused a lot of abuse between my mom and her siblings growing up because my grandma was really never truly taught how to love somebody or to be loved. many native americans take pride that despite the efforts to erase them, they survive to simply say, that boarding schools and that were colonialism have broken native societies. it's not true. there are distinct cultures live on in the lands that have always belonged to them. rob reynolds al jazeera on the rows, but look code a reservation, south dakota when he leaves joining his life from sweet water and resume his executive director of utah denay became it's

a nonprofit organization. it says it works towards healing people on the earth by supporting indigenous communities. thank you very much indeed for being with us on our 0 talk us through if you can, your own experiences or the experiences of people that you know in these schools. good afternoon, my name is jodie lee and i remember that when they should hear speaking to you from like you're saying that sweetwater, arizona, which is located within that reservation. yes. i've been raised there pretty much my elementary years at the schools federal boarding school and we were pretty much taken from i'm from my parents do the fact that, you know, they, we were told our parents were told that when they need to submit the kids a school age to boarding schools or suffer the consequences of going to jail or,

or are being sent far away from the families. so they didn't had it. they had that ultimate. so they of what we understand that the biggest, which is a pre prior and informed consent was not any part of the vocabulary, nor any kind of a part of the operations of sending kids to school. and so if those things were, were part of the rules and regulations and policies, you know, none of this probably would have happened however, and you know, it's the, it was chips being taken there, boarding schools. and there my, i didn't know of the christian name that was given or the english name that was given to me. all i know it was my mom and my dad called me when i was growing up. when i was, i was sent to school when i was 4 years old. and when they call the english name name, what do you believe? i didn't know who that person was and all the other kids and the the do the adults

that were there that know that that is my name. so right. been, i did not have to become that person's one of the things for you, but one of the things that came out in rob reynolds report to me at least was that the level of psychological impact that the schools have had not just on the and the kids who went there, but of course on their families and the communities as well. since the schools have developed through the years, has there been any effort that you're aware of to try to help those who went to the schools deal with the circumstances deal with that experience so that they can actually live better in the community? i have not. i have not formerly been informed of any recovery at recoveries from people my age that went to boarding schools and the trauma that they went through, they offered outside of from the schools. people went through their own. we

went back to our own ceremonies and, and have those performed as individuals, law by the government, nor by the state or by anybody else that there is a one organizational, a place where to go to, to, to get well and whole again when you leave. thank you very much indeed for joining us and i'll just say to we appreciate it very much. indeed. yes. the, the, the continuation of being at the boarding schools, one of the things that really didn't know the impact was that we were lined up and then he says, the 1st 10 kids, you're going to go to this church. the next kid can go to this church and the next and so on and so on. so a stuff like that happened and we did not know how much of an inspector made us as we were going. mr. lee, thank you very much. indeed for joining us, and i'll just say that we do appreciate it. thank you very much. indeed. thank you

and have a good day. sure. 3 weeks after devastating sides hit western parts of germany killing at least a $180.00 people. survivors say they're relying on the help of volunteers, and among those bringing assistance refugees from syria, they say they want to give something back to the nation that received them. so us and met them at a church in the bad know enough deep in the basement of a centuries old church, they are cleaning up one bucket at a time. for the past 2 weeks, the syrian refugees have picked up shovels and how to clear tons of debris left after the worst flood this historical town has ever seen. so i'm very proud that i can help people here and religious institutions. true for me. there's no difference, whoever i help and what their background is. this is likely the last place, the syrians thought they would end up leaving their wall street and towns back home

. here in the darkness of the florida, the roman catholic church was showing dead gratitude and the spirit of to get an eye given home to don't feel suffering from the loss and destruction. after the plot. most of the syrians came to germany in 2015 when more than 1000000 who fled the war in their own country were accepted by uncle american government. it responded to an appeal on social media. after seeing the scale of destruction caused by the flats on television, germany gave us the shelter, give us education, give us a food and a place to evolve and drive in this country. and they considered us as one of them. so we felt that we are part of this society and when we feel this, we feel that we need to help and get those trophy nearly 3 weeks after torrential rains called flooding and north re must finally and rhineland. the latin aid to clean up as well on the way survivors say this is not because of government help,

but solely thanks to the volunteer. just this is an indescribably strong feeling that people from all nationalities came and helped that every hand helped even when it maybe was not exactly the right help at that moment. what matters as they help and otherwise we would never have managed to do this. church lead us hope tolerance towards refugees and migrants will increase. i'm not ok, but here are people who experience paid because of their religion or the color. and i think that's a good sign in. but knowing that this doesn't matter at the moment, having experienced hardship themselves, the syrian refugees feel they can offer the right to help. some i've been working for 2 straight weeks, leaving their families and jobs behind is get and will you on through. there are 1000000 syrians in germany, and we are one with the german population in good and bad time. they plan to stay after other volunteer have long gone,

hoping to rebuild these historic towns and making friends for life steadfast and algebra era. but know in germany still had, and i was just in support a historic day for this british cypress and tokyo, later from the olympics, coming up ah, brought to you by accenture. let there be change the news

me booty by extension that there be change? oh, i remark who they have actually not the olympics. so at jamaica, elaine thompson hero became the 1st woman to retain the sprint. double she'd already on the 100 meters and take joe and stone to another victory in the 200. as she did in 5 years ago,

christine and both of namibia took silva ahead of gabby thomas in the register and was in the stadium watching. well, we may not have you sign both. hey, in talk. yeah, but we do have another jamaican sprint. superstore. elaine thompson, her winning the 200 meters, adding that to the 100, meet the title she wants to few days ago. so doubling up on the 10200, just as she did rio in 2016 in silver metal position, christine embalmer, of maybe a really interesting case with her due to her naturally occurring testosterone levels. she's not allowed to compete in the 400 meters. he switched to the 200 meters just a few weeks ago. now here she is. as a middle mpeg silver medalist. as the thompson hara well for fitness permitting, she will be going again at the paris 2024 games aiding for both style 3 pete winning, the 102083 consecutive olympic games. piracy is a lie. yes, it is in the books. but take it year by year,

which i am looking forward for our championship kaiser before paris. now on wednesday, she found her son will continue with her unprecedented tokyo, dutch runner, aiming to win the $1500.00. 501-0000 means something has never been done. before she's already won the 5000 meters, she from the 1st half of the 1500 meters, which so her falling on the final lap. she still had the chance to get up the south down and get through to wednesday's semifinals. if she gets through that semi final, then the final for the 1500 is on friday and then the final of the 10000 meters is on saturday. she'll have 6 middle distance races in 8 days. also coming up on wednesday, the final of the men's see 100 meters, the big favorite for that is american. know eliles, but he almost blew it in the semi font is look to be cruising to victory east up in the final few straw. i got caught on the line, finished 3rd, but just squeeze through as one of the fastest loses. so he will have a chance to add to his world championship gold medal. he won in doha in 2019 and go

for that limbic title on wednesday, tuesday also, so it's been described by the man who won silver as the best race ever. in a limping history, he was talking about the men's 400 meter huddled by noise and cost involved homeless, smashed his own world, recorded to win gold. in a time of 45.9 for 2nd time, while champion beating in the usa. that right benjamin and brazil i was on the sample. while it was a month ago, the home broke the record set by kevin young at 29 years ago to the boss lane. lympics. incredibly, he shaved another not point 76 seconds of time becoming the 1st man to break 46 seconds. put that in context about setting me around a 3 2nd slower than the 400 meters record, where there are no huddles of course, and spare a thought for why benjamin in 2nd to also break about records. in fact, 6 of the 1st 7 finishes national or continental records,

out in the press conference afterwards, even the competitors couldn't believe what they've done with respect for athletes. i think there's lot of athletes that are not that good will, can only be goes, you know, right? and you've been running $4617.00, you know, it would be cervical metal. there's nothing you can compare to what just happened out there? $4059.00 over the hurdles. 461-4672. it's, it's an insane. so i would say it was the best raced ever in olympic history area. we spoke to john list johnson, go to watch the race life to see constable. home take point 76 of a 2nd will record will record in the spring for not broken by not much anymore. i mean 2021 and i'm running this event for over a 120 years. you just don't see breakers of that magnitude and for him to do it on the biggest age imaginable. and then from right, benjamin nelson,

the centers. right. bedroom. well under the previous record, allison dissent, those mis billable record by point to just phenomenal. one of the most amazing incredible races i've ever saying, you know, it's always hard to place these things in context immediately. but this will go down as an iconic rates in the history of olympic track and field along with you sample 9.69 in beijing. and david reduces one or 2.91 in the 800 meters in london. it belong to that conversation, a very well may be the greatest race with ever seen. he smashed the world rec, worn by a greater percentage than you same bowl and a did. so he's got to nowadays i think that the next bolt thing over bolt replacement thing that's never going. you're never going to get another you same bowl, but cost more home himself is a fantastic at least and really and painting athletes a watch. so yeah, of the bulk comparison is fair for anyone to try and build but massive star, and hopefully we'll get even bigger off this form. it's you asked him nasty,

so my bible says says winning bronze in the balance beam find means more than all the golds because of what she's been through. the 24 year old pulled out to 5 events and take care off just struggling with her mental health. but it was a successful with them to action as she walked away with a metal off the finishing behind 2 chinese compasses. or at least the games with a silver and a bronze to go with the full gold. she wanted the real games in 2016. yeah. well, to bring the topic of mental health. i think it should be talked about a lot more, especially with athletes because i know some of us are going through the same things and we're always told to push through it. but we're all a little bit older now. we could kind of speak for ourselves, but at the end of the day, we're not just entertainment, we're humans, and there are things going on behind the scenes that we're also trying to juggle with as well. on top of sports, cyclist and jason kenney is now great britain's most decorated and in pin he came to silver in the team sprint for his 8 medal, which equals the number chief by fellow cyclist, bradley wiggins,

or the county has one more gold and silver. kenny and his teammates lost out so well, champions netherlands in the final, they won gold in the men's track, fighting for the 1st time in 85 years. but about an athlete christina seminole sky . i will leave japan for poland after been granted a humanitarian visa. the run is planning to seek refuge in europe after accusing her teams, officials of trying to force her to leave the games early after she criticized her coaches. international olympic committee says it's launched on investigation beyond the store. they made it clear that upon my return home, i would definitely say some form of punishment. and that if i refused and ran into $200.00 meats a race, i would be fired and kicked out of the national team. there were also thinly disguised hints that more would await to me. the key phrase is when they said that the decision to return home was not taken by us. it was taken by other people and

we were ordered to follow through. at the moment, i just want to safely get to europe. i would really like to continue my sporting career because i'm only 24 and i had plans to participate in at least 2 more olympic games. we have all her report from the n c. today we requested yesterday we, we, we wanted today we have decided to launch, not surprisingly, a formal investigation should be led by the i c ministration. we need to establish the full facts. we need to hear everyone involved for your support. for now, i'll be back with more later. jenna, thanks very much. indeed. now laura taylor's going to be here in a few minutes with more on all these stories, including that, those 2 large explosions that have happened in the afghan capital capital. the 1st one happened outside the defense ministers house. we understand that he has not been injured, but there was gunfire following that explosion. you can get

a lot more information of course on our website w, w, w dot 0 dot com. thanks for being with me. good bye, for now. i, in the us has withdrawn the majority of its troops from america, the longest war, leaving the battle for control. the african military be able to hold its ground against the taliban, and the afghans to help the american war effort relocated to the u. s. what is the future hold for that special coverage for now? i got a song on al jazeera. my name is my name is on my to my plan

a view to brand, to that point we can usually just, we just grab it and i've only got mine on mine. i do on, i'll just use the crime that should japan or people get killed on one occasion in as bloody a massacre as this was, attracts a lot of report. there was just a current drum. who did it, who did it, who did it? a hasty conviction that led to the world's longest hell roper's and his sister's 47 year long battle to save him from execution. witness. how come madame japan's death row on a josie? ah, bold,

and i'm told stories from asia and the pacific on al jazeera, a lot of the stories that we cover heidi complex, so it's very important that we make them as understandable as we can, as i just recall respondent. that's what we strive to do. me too powerful blasts in the heart of cobble as the taliban continues its advance in southern afghanistan. residents have in order to leave laska where the army is preparing a major offensive against the group. ah, i tell you this is al jazeera alive from london was coming up. i can disappear in moments, i understand the exiled variations.
