at this hospital in the resort island of bali medical teams are moving patients i cite fearing aftershocks. and i think. we are constructing emergency tents with the assistance from the disaster mitigation agency so that we can gather all patients out there. to get them but we're also hoping that our medical teams and nurses can concentrate more on treating patients and. not only question it to. the peripheral seven point zero magnitude earthquake struck the end uneasy an island of lombok at a depth of just ten kilometers shaking nearby palli as well an initial tsunami warning was later withdrawn but authorities urged people to stay away from the coast the quake caused widespread damage to homes and businesses on both islands and triggered panic among both tourists and locals. we

ran out from my house twice two times. everyone ran out because the quakes were very strong. antony's is no stranger to areas quakes it's situated in what's known as the pacific ring of fire an arc of volcanoes and full lines in the pacific basin this is the second shot for a long back in the space of a week the island still reeling after a deadly quake last sunday let's go straight to the region now we're joined by journalist max waldron from jakarta max thanks for being with us what can you tell us about the situation along bach right now. yes as was mentioned the authorities the disaster management agency has said that ninety one people have been confirmed dead all of these people are indonesian nationals and where the epicenter in northern one book is where the majority of victims have been killed

however there was also four killed in much of my box capital and two in bali the majority having been killed by a collapsed building. at the moment the disaster management agency is also working with the military to russian assistance however they said in a in a facebook post about an hour ago that. this still thousands of people displaced many of whom have not yet received any assistance. and of course because of the severity of the earthquake a lot of in what's already one of the nation's poorest provinces fairly poor infrastructure they've got a lot of damage roads. making yes yeah ok damage right here that's making it difficult to get the supplies and what about people potentially trapped in the rubble right now are rescue crews and emergency services trying to get people out from beneath the debris. that's unclear the n b

a which is the acronym for the disaster management agency not discussed in some time but they said there's a lot of. things that they urgently require including food ready to eat meals mineral water. things to establish temper accommodation tolan's mats blankets food. so yeah this really is. an ongoing effort things to establish temper accommodation tolan's mats blankets food. so yeah this really is. an ongoing effort i believe the military it's three aircraft. but yeah very much is a lie ongoing operation ok. bali or of course massive tourist hobson aside of the tourist season right now what are visitors being advised to do and is the military getting them out of the affected areas. yes well certainly

gilly gilly islands which are just off one block there was a breach of people being evacuated on mass from there. but certainly the majority of the victims said the nation's nevertheless a course as we know those last week an earthquake this of course will yeah have ever a major impact on on lombok in bali. there was some footage of. tourists foreign tourists being injured however. none were killed. authorities will be worried just last month a nation about to host asian games last month they had the. run through one book in an effort to sort of promote. just last month a nation about to host asian games last month they had the. run through one book in an effort to sort of promote bali in one box and it's this nation so this of course

is a huge. ok max thanks very much max for us from jakarta today great thank you jack. well iran's government has announced major steps to ease foreign exchange transactions and allow our indians to bring in hard currency and gold now that is to combat the expected effects of the new u.s. sanctions they're due to start this week our aliens are voicing their anger at the worsening of. their for sixty days in a row now arrhenius have taken to the street in protest in cities across the country they're angry about high prices and the government. did use iran's politicians of leading the country into ruin with mismanagement and corruption. the misery is plain to see even among people who aren't marching his son is certain that his life won't get better any time soon. jim and even then i don't know what

the aim of the u.s. sanctions is shit. all i know is that for iranians everything is getting worse the sanctions just hit old and we people who are poor anyway like me the rich once. food prices have risen by forty percent in just a few months few people can afford to buy meat even the price of bread has soared iran's currency has plunged in value since may when the united states pulled out of the nuclear deal and threatened iran with new sanctions. the reaal has lost seventy percent of its value against the euro with disastrous consequences for iranians. and things like eggs to mattress and bread that were foodstuffs we could still afford to buy but when you can't even pay for a cucumber and that's really bad fruit became too expensive long a guy. deepening hostility between iran and the u.s.

also has people worried many are concerned that conflict could break out in earnest . last month the war of words looks like it was spinning out of control. iran's president cautioned the u.s. that a war with iran could be the mother of all wars trump shot back with an all caps tweet warning tehran to never threaten the u.s. again. then last week president trump stirred the pot further with a surprising proposal. thank you very much thank you i would certainly meet with iran if they wanted to meet i don't know that they're ready yet to have a hard time right now. but i ended the iran deal it was a ridiculous deal. tehran hasn't directly replied to trump suggestion. but some international media report a meeting might happen in new york at the next general assembly of the united nations. president hassan rouhani is expected to go on national television later

today to give trump his answer. ok let's get some analysis now with correspondent eric randolph joining us from tehran eric good morning to you all what kind of response can we expect from iran when the new sanctions are announced later today well the. k.g.b. they don't want to give the impression that the sanctions are going to cause too much damage to the economy because they don't want to give protesters more reason to go out on the streets and they don't want the panic in the other currencies already collapsed by more than. the last few months. as a delicate balancing act that the government has to play between showing results showing how it's going to come to these measures in the limited tools at its disposal to do got ok talking about limited tools. going to be looking at these sanctions and how they're going to be impacting the country's foreign trade

internationally especially its crucial boyle sector what can we expect to happen there. the sanctions are coming back in two phases the first lawsuit coming back tomorrow that's going to hit things like. financial transactions and sales of carpets and things the really difficult ones are going to come in november when the u.s. is going to try and block oil sales now some countries like india and china have already said they're not going to cut or who sells from iran completely definitely that's going to be a major blow to iran's economy and that's where we're going to start to see potentially a real impact on the domestic economy with prices going up and things like that and all of this is coming at a time when we've already seen days of protests about the economy and about the government's handling of this crisis now i'd like to pick up on that what about the iranian people eric how are they likely to take the increased hardships that will inevitably result from the new sanctions. obviously

a lot of people do blame the u.s. but i would say most of the anger is directed against their own government. and it's of gotten used to hostility from americans that's been going on for forty years they expect that representatives to do something about it there was a lot of hope that twenty fifty nuclear deal by the iranians coming out of that it was a consolation that we could see some profit connections with the outside world and trade and foreign investment flooding in a lot of people feel deeply disappointed that hasn't managed just that and that's from the reform as conservatives say the government has. shifted to the trust of the americans and that it's shown itself to be naive and now it's paying the price to pay well no more later today of course when we hear exactly what these sanctions are going to be for now the our ground all thanks very much for that from tehran. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world at this hour

fluke this oh this is done. to make sure that we project will split. but so far has not provided any evidence to back up his claims and the tense situation life and hour is only slowly getting back to normal many people in the capital still scabs scattered speak out scats to criticize the government or the security forces after last week's violent clashes many fear that the time of god who ruled the country for thirty seven years with an iron fist might be done but that his legacy of brutal repression still lives on. was. among those afraid to pine fingers for his sisters this. i i. you know it's. not i would think that. for.

loved ones this is little comfort in the fact that the deaths have sparked outrage since happiness across the country as they mourned they suspect the government is just hoping that the dust settles as quickly as possible. in venice where an investigation is underway after an apparent assassination attempt on president nicolas maduro he survived what appeared to be a drone bomb attack on saturday police say they have arrested a number of suspects but there are says colombians or venezuelan exiles living in the u.s. were behind the incident. later afternoon and caracas. president nicolas maduro speech to soldiers was interrupted. it was a drone armed with a bomb it broke off and got me right in front of me something flying exploded. it was a powerful explosion which. protects me. then

a second explosion seven soldiers are wounded the girl accuses financial backers in the u.s. and colombia's president juan manuel santos of orchestrating the attack colombia rejects the charge calling it absurd washington also denies any responsibility well i can say unequivocally there was no u.s. government involvement in this at all look it could be a lot of things from a pretext set up by the majority itself to something else. one venezuela journalist who broadcasts on the internet read the purported letter claiming responsibility by an unknown group not all of them are thought out to not tolerate that our people have nothing to eat and no medicine and that our money is worth nothing that a lot of. the government says it has already arrested several perpetrators but there appear to be contradictions some people have questions about the second explosion. yes i think the government staged the whole thing you

don't. imagine that the government was hurt itself. by the way this just pulls our country further down and many fear maduro may use the incident to justify more repression in this divided country. in sports at the european championships and glaus go there was more joy for team germany in the pool as florian bell baulked took gold in the men's fifteen hundred meter freestyle the twenty year old clocked a national record of fourteen minutes thirty six point one five seconds to secure germany's second swimming gold of the weekend after their surprise when in the freestyle mixed relay and it was a german success as well in the velodrome a cyclist dominated weinstein claimed gold in the individual four thousand meters he beat portugal zero zero live. to win germany's eighth cycling medal of the championships. well some hockey now in ireland's fairy tale world cup run ended
