to the bill or to you in the groups of laws that we have at the moment. this is d w news live from berlin u.s. president donald trump re imposes sanctions on iran it's a move that iran has been bracing for since trump pulled out the the us on the iran deal three months ago there have already been mass protests against soaring inflation and shortage it now likely to get worse and also coming up almost one

hundred dead in indonesia a second earthquake you know week and the death toll is expected to rise with the islands of longbowmen ballyhoo worst affected and bangladesh promises to introduce the death penalty for drivers who cause fatal road accident the move aims to quell mass protests over traffic safety that have paralyzed the capital dhaka. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program. u.s. president donald trump has signed an executive order to formally reimpose many sanctions on iran the move comes some three months after the u.s. pulled out of the twenty fifteen international nuclear deal with iran the e.u. has condemned the revived measures and said that it will shield european companies iran too has acted to soften the blow by easing foreign exchange transactions but

iranians have been protesting over the economic hardship that many already face. for six days in a row now iranians have taken to the streets in protest in cities across the country they're angry about high prices and the government they accuse iran's politicians of mismanagement and corruption leading the country into ruin. however not everyone is marching some feel helpless like his son he's certain that his life won't get better any time soon. and i don't know what the aim of the u.s. sanctions is. all i know is that for iranians everything is good the sanctions just hit people who are poor anyway like me the rich ones who. get food prices have risen by forty percent in just a few months and few people can afford to buy meat even the prices of bread have

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 and the reaal has lost seventy percent of its value against the euro with disastrous consequences for reigning ends. and things like eggs tomatoes and bread that were foodstuffs we could still afford to buy when you can't even pay for a cucumber and that's really bad fruit became too expensive long ago. and. sharpening rhetoric between iran and the u.s. also has people worried despite a recent surprising proposal by donald trump. i would certainly meet with a round of 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 ridiculously. taran 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. meanwhile the iranian people continue to hope for a resolution to their problems let's get more now on the situation we are joined by correspondent stephanie simons who is standing by with the latest from washington so first i'd like to talk a little bit more about the strategy here because we have trump breaking back sanctions and simultaneously offering fresh talks what is the strategy here. reminds a little bit of the strategy donald trump's administration used to addressing the problem with north korea doesn't it it's the carrot and the stick the trouble in restoration was pulling out of the agreement in may this year very clear that those sanctions are coming those saints are done now targeting u.s.

dollars a year iranian government can't use iran u.s. dollars any more specific trait. targets are mentioned in those sanctions which will be going into effect on tuesday actually at one minute past midnight local time here on the other hand the reporting as you rush through so as. the president is offering without any preconditions to talk to the iranians through president rouhani so it is basically showing the hard hand against iran the purpose here to get a new agreement from iran a nuclear agreement from iran and on the other hand be flexible at least virtually offering up a meeting so people things can be hashed out between the two leaders style so to speak and trump says that he wanted tougher deal on iran so walk us through what his bottom line is. well that's

a very interesting question sir because nobody actually knows that specific the president said he wants a better deal a tougher deal and what that means basically is that he wants to prevent all path for iran to become a nuclear power to militarize nuclear energy in any way or form the president and this administration things that the former deal directly to clear record was a bad deal because it didn't express his verbless and as tough as it could be. spelled out that this is never going to happen with timelines and exclusions and so on trump wants a clear cut deal u.s. government is looks like want to get wanting a clear cut deal in terms of preventing iran from any way any possibility any path to become a nuclear power stephan simons in washington thank you. well

now at least ninety eight people have died in the earthquake that struck indonesia on sunday night the holiday islands of luck and valley have been the worst affected hundreds of people have also been injured mainly in the north of lombok and thousands made homeless the region has been hit by numerous aftershocks the magnitude of the quake was a powerful seven and it struck as many people were having their evening meal. time in lombok locals and tourists alike were packed into restaurants when suddenly the floor gave white. the power went out almost immediately people ran out into the straits it was just a week since the last time a tremor brought destruction here and this one was even worse but. we ran out from our house twice two times. everyone ran out because the quakes were

very strong. as the not drew on rescue is began pulling the dead and injured from beneath collapsed buildings first responders were overwhelmed across the nation's holiday islands local residents joined emergency services pulling the injured out by hand. on a mobile managed to put their credit limit. and over one hundred aftershocks forced authorities to take dramatic measures at bally's main hospital the injured were treated in the open air. so no way of placing patients here in the parking lot and the gymnastics yard plus in areas near the hospital that do good evil as dawn broke in addition authorities were still rushing to remote areas. on the kili islands northwest of mobile terrified people packed onto the beach whiten fold them up to to a quite soon to wakes people are desperate to leave they fear the trauma could trigger

a tsunami. even though authorities say there's little chance of that right now. i just want to get out some whisky somewhere on. the wrist not so. clever thanks to the bali lombok a prone to earthquakes all the same millions of tourists visit them every year now the russians in the other direction the airports of packed with people wanting to go home. and for the very latest now let's bring in journalist critic of our gore who is joining us with the latest from jakarta and we just like to know what are the authorities saying about the situation especially in long box right now. well there they're definitely monitoring the casualties the death toll is ninety eight so far but the head of the disaster management agency has said there are certainly be more where there are twenty four hours out and there are twenty

thousand people in temporary shelters in mombasa which is a huge number and there are not yet any foreigners among the dead but as these as as authorities have said the numbers are still being processed so it's very much developing an active situation emergency for thousands of people and the first responders are very hard pressed it's a challenging situation for them right for those rescue teams for those relief agencies which you know many of them are trying to get in there all or are already there just walk us through what they're facing. well hama went through another devastating earthquake above six point zero magnitude just last week so this is come hounding the death toll from that and not only that this one has also affected bali where there were already two casualties registered and these are two of the biggest holiday hotspots in indonesia so not only are the intending to thousands of displaced indonesians and entire villages have been destroyed but also they're

trying to evacuate tens of thousands of foreigners who are crowding out the bus the ports and airports i desperately trying to get home so there's a two pronged situation that's been very difficult to contain you mention that earthquake a similar one that we know took place only a week ago has there been any word from the authorities are they expecting more shocks. yeah well there have been over one hundred aftershocks already in lombok and there will be a few more but none of this seismic activity is totally unexpected because indonesia is on the so-called ring of fire so there are always you know o'kane is going off and active things like that the aftershocks are most likely not completely finished yet but the tsunami warning that was in effect briefly yesterday has been called off we saw in our piece of bit earlier you know those scenes from the airport people really crowding trying to get out long buchan bali of course huge tourist hubs it's the height of tourist season right now what advice

are visitors being given. several countries home offices including the u.k. and u.a.e. have put it kabul or on potential travel to indonesia particularly these two islands but the airports in flights are running as of now off schedule and as planned there's not too much damage there so tourists are being advised to stay on higher ground and not near the coastline however it's most likely that we'll see the big impact of these events of a few weeks or months into the future especially on lombok which is a major tourist hot spot that hasn't seen a significant you know seismic activity in a while journalists critique of our guard joining us from jakarta thank you so much for updating us the government of bangladesh wants to impose the death penalty on motorists found guilty of deliberately causing a fatal traffic accident that would be one of the harshest punishments worldwide

the proposal aims to quell mass protest over road safety in the capital dhaka. has been going through the streets of darker for more than a week now paralyzing the major city of the team. students are calling on the government to take steps to improve road safety they also want justice for their classmates killed by a speeding bus on july twenty ninth. many dhaka residents sympathize with their anger. that i those drivers killed the students and now students are protesting the killing and i think the drivers should get the harshest punishment not with the idea of the way they killed people just standing beside the streets of course it's a crime and a punishable offense everyone's life has value the drivers must get punishments like the death penalty so people will be more careful. the ongoing protests and outbreaks of violence have put the government on the defensive and that. private

bus companies are also feeling the pressure police have stepped up spot checks and started impounding vehicles. protesters have also set hundreds of vehicles on fire that's prompted some operators to keep their buses in the depots. that are going to run we stopped our buses running because students attacked and damaged our vehicles we cannot go on the roads students hit our drivers in our things so no vehicles could move. protesters want the government to address issues that make the roads unsafe streets are overcrowded many drivers do not have licenses vehicles or old an unsafe bus drivers are paid by the number of passengers to carry motivating them to overfill their vehicles and drive fence it will take more than the death penalty to make roads safe for. the protests have forced many commuters to switch to the country's railroads trains leaving dark on far more crowded than ever.
