you can do something to give the baby a future without. make a donation safe a life. this is. just hours before the u.s. really imposes sanctions on iran tehran is lashing out at u.s. president trump for waging war on the minds of iranians appearing on state television iranian president rouhani accusing the u.s. of launching psychological warfare on his country u.s. president ordered to reinstate same since follows the withdrawal of the us from the

iran nuclear deal three months ago also coming up authorities in indonesia are stretched to the limit as they work to rescue locals and evacuate thousands of tourists stranded after sunday's earthquake the death toll stands at ninety eight was is expected to rise but the islands of lone book in bali worst affected plus a ball of fire on an italian highway a tanker truck explodes ripping a hole through an eight lane overpass at least two people dozens were injured. it's good to have you with us iran's president hassan rouhani has lashed out at renewed u.s. sanctions set to take effect just hours from now accusing washington of launching psychological warfare against his country of speaking in an interview on state

television rouhani also slammed u.s. president drugs recent call for direct talks with iran as being only for domestic. consumption and aimed at creating chaos in iraq. today signed an executive order to reimpose many of the sayings and which were in effect before the twenty fifteen international nuclear deal with iran went into effect and he pulled the us out of that agreement just three months ago iranians have been bracing for renewed sanctions ever since. these people will be hit hardest by the us sanctions measures that were suspended in two thousand and fifteen after years of suffering by the iranian population are now being brought back by the trump administration. the sanctions target the iranian financial system including government purchases of u.s. dollars the trading of gold and other precious metals and of industrial goods and software they hit at the sales of iranian reals government bond sales and the

automotive industry. in anticipation of the sanctions coming into effect the iranian real has been in freefall and that's already being felt on the streets of iran sanctions have definitely had an impact whether it's on currency exchange rate or the price of gold they have resulted in the loss of many jobs will be caught in it and if the dollar goes up the price of everything will go up but at the end people should have some patience and tolerance towards the sanctions. will do a good one you can own a house in that event but you know if it continues like this we won't have a good life in the future it will be better to have reforms and i hope our government will think about us people. yes a damasio and. that one did not want than to fixate not a sentiment that washington hopes could draw to around back to the negotiating table. well they could take up the president's offer to negotiate with them to give

up their ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programs fully and really verifiably not under the onerous terms of the iran nuclear deal which really are not satisfactory speaking in an interview on state television iran's president hassan rouhani said sanctions were an attempt at psychological warfare but said tirant was ready for diplomacy. as i said i was sure the first step would be for donald trump to show that he genuinely wants to engage in negotiations to solve a problem what's the meaning of negotiations when you impose sanctions at the same time. rouhani called on the rain ians to unite in the face of the coming hardship. for more and then i'm joined tonight by none to bazza by none has worked as a consultant of the german government on the brain affairs he is considered an authority on a rainy and european and u.s. relations he joins us from our studios in bonn germany tonight i have none it's good to see you i'd like for us to start if we could with iranian president rouhani

accusing u.s. president donald trump of mind wars against the people of iran take a listen. at him and so i think the real purpose here by the u.s. administration is to engage in psychological wolfenden and to sort of division among iranians while at the same time gaining political capital for the upcoming congressional elections so trumps talk is either about gaining domestic political advantage in the elections or waging psychological war against the iranian people. i don't let me ask you has the offer by draw to meet rouhani for talks has it created or revealed more fissures in iranian society. well at least you can see that iran has politics unlike north korea for example in iran you have always had a debate about how to deal with the u.s. and now with donald trump in office and his surprising offer to talk some are

saying it's just empty words don't don't even think about it others are saying it's worth trying and then there is another group that says we have no choice but to talk to the u.s. i wouldn't call it figures but there is certainly a heated debate about how to how to look forward and i think the upcoming weeks will be interesting in that regard we know that rouhani is considered a pragmatist and he has done his best to open the door to the west he's now facing challenges from anti western hardliners in tehran i mean how serious are these really imposed sanctions for his leadership. i mean look if you if you look if you think about what president rouhani was aiming at he wanted to normalize trade with iran and basically enter the era without any sanctions on the country and now the u.s. is really imposing sanctions and there's nothing you can do about it so for him it's obviously a big a big blow to his presidential second presidential term and his opponent at home are obviously. quite happy about it and will and will more fiercely challenge him

now the revolutionary guard has basically said that the iranian people will not allow any discussions to take place with what they called the great say that being the united states is that the entire truth is there not some interest in tehran in keeping discussions going at least at some level. of course of course and i said that at the beginning of our conversation that there is that there are different political domains different political currents that have different viewpoints and it's the same among the people there are those who despise this u.s. president there are others who say this is the one that we actually have to talk to because he has all the hardliners in the in washington behind him so there are different viewpoints and this is what i was saying that it will be interesting to see which current emerges as the as the stronger one and the more convincing one internally in iran what is happening to the iranian economy right now i mean we've

got these sanctions that are being reimposed tonight doesn't this just put the influence of the military in the security sector doesn't it make that influence even greater on the economy of iraq obviously iran has had homemade economic problems but these are exacerbating with the new situation sanctions always cause. basically networks that then have to jump in for trade that has actually been prohibited so you have actors that may come from the military who can benefit now by saying we have third way so to say to import goods that are actually banned from entering the country in the end the consumers there ordinary iranian people will be those who have to pay literally more because goods are going to be even more expensive and the purchasing power of every iranian citizen is going to be lower and lower and that is certainly. exacerbating the hardship of the iranian people non-tobacco by giving is valuable analysis tonight on the effect of these

reimposed u.s. sanctions on iran. your insights tonight thank you my pleasure brant. well at least ninety eight people have died in the earthquake that struck indonesia on sunday night the holiday islands of long block and bali have been worst affected hundreds of people have also been injured mainly in the north of the book and thousands made homeless the region has been hit by numerous aftershocks the magnitude of the quake was a powerful seven it struck as many people were gathered together having their evening meal. five. rescuers sift through the rubble hoping against hope to find survivors the second devastating earthquake within a week has left the popular tourist island of lombok in ruins this man's brother is missing. everyone was shopping then suddenly the earthquake hit my brother wanted to run out to the middle of the road but the like went he must have been there when

the roof collapsed but some local people say the authorities response to the disaster has been inadequate. we have not received any official eight they have not come to help us only deval in two years are here it all must we're traumatized. they're young children and old people with us thank god we're fine. at the height of the holiday season thousands of tourists were caught up in the earthquake the chaos compounded by fears the true nemi could follow the earthquake well we didn't get any tsunami warning at all and then it was literally every five going into the health. overhaul of each other and then the slats on the. morning until daylight and then every side. there was a huge evacuation. for

it's easy to actually stop. taking place. and destruction and chaos in. the authorities admit there have been problems with the rescue operation. in the accusation is difficult to see water levels are lower so big vessels cannot reach the ports and that is why the rescue team picked up tourists in the open ocean using rubber boats. for the visitors it's an unexpected end to their holiday. for locals left behind the. damage will take years to repair. now turning now to new a country that has been a major hub for refugees from across africa trying to get to europe two years ago the european union pressured authorities there to make it illegal to transport migrants effectively wiping out a thriving local economy the e.u. also promised millions of euros to help create alternative sources of revenue our

next report takes us to our beds one of the key stations on the migrant road to europe a place where promises from europe have been kept and apparently broke. hundreds of pickup trucks stand cocked in the city of ike a tense in mission. these vehicles once traversed the desert transporting refugees hoping for a better life in europe. now the authorities have confiscated the trucks hoping to stop the people smugglers. until recently migrants were welcome here they broke money into the city spending it on food shopping and accommodation. indeed they got there was nothing illegal

about it. here in this district we had lots of people running small shops and restaurants. would think there was a lot going on but now agadez economy is dead or economy that is. banned the trafficking of migrants two years ago under pressure from the european union. for many of the people smugglers was arrested and their vehicle seized. the e.u. promised to help them set up a legitimate alternative businesses so far nothing has come of that it. was unnerving now find we have children we have to feed now we don't have any who work how are supposed to be able to raise our children. let you know one knew who they were once people from the e.u. here they said they wanted to invest two hundred million euros but we haven't seen

anything not a single cent of its if. the e.u. has invested in security the nation military patrols the desert. on the lookout for people smuggling is. the strategy of to terence seems to be working. hundreds of thousands of refugees once passed through this checkpoint now it stands deserted. rights activist rashid cotto says the e.u. has failed to address the underlying problem of why people are fleeing. and my consistent. smugness will always find ways through however dangerous.

there are still many days you have projects by frontex and general and people were registered but now how many immigrants have left nowadays those who can leave you can't know how many people have left those desperate to leave have no choice but to make the dangerous doesn't crossing policy is not making them perilous journey any safer. are been here now with business news and the challenges facing africa on the trade front since leaders have gathered in washington for the annual meeting of the agricultural applied economics association a bit of a mouthful a packed agenda as well punitive tariffs treaties being trashed geo political crises times and not easy for global trade globalization is fulfilling in part due to the u.s. president's trade policies was defected a poor regions united nations conference on trade and development says global foreign direct investment has fallen by twenty one percent especially in africa

where f.b.i. has dropped by. almost that by that exact same amount it fell from fifty three billion dollars to twenty six into forty two billion and twenty seventeen and only eighteen international trade agreements was signed last year the lowest in thirty five years i asked the president of the african development bank i can move me additional how the globe's trade troubles are affecting countries in africa. or first and foremost when the two elephants are fighting basically digraphs office from it if you look at the impact of the fights going on in terms of the global trade was you know of course if you look at china united states it means that for china for example if john i want to be hit with all those high tariffs it will impact china in many ways it will impact china body in chimes of his own revenue generation it will be impacted therefore in terms of oarfish our development assistance that he can provide to developing countries in particular also to africa

it will also in fact in times of foreign direct investment into africa so you have those feedback loops that are very very important and of course you also have companies that are investing in chinese companies that are investing in africa that may be affected by rules of origin that has china in it so at the end of the day you find that it's a lose lose situation as far as i'm concerned but if you take a look at what africa can do you know africa needs to look a lot more inward to make sure that it can you know isolate itself for many of these negative impacts fallston foremost as the as a landmark signature of the continental free trade area in africa which will be the biggest free trade area in the world you know what three trillion u.s. dollars and so that will allow africa to increase his own into a regional trade which right now is actually quite low it's roughly about fourteen percent. increase that to roughly of all fifty four percent and that means that you're talking about you know roughly about thirty five billion u.s.

dollars of increase trade every single year so the best way to. isolate not only isolate will reveal the immediate good the impact of this on africa is for africa to do a lot more trading with itself back to relations with washington first of all is there anything that you can say to officials when you meet with them there in washington that would convince them otherwise to make trade free for africa. well i think you know that is quite a lot going on in terms of discussion with the u.s. government the you know. the. the it's a it's been extended to twenty twenty five south africa vides a lot of opportunities for. african companies to countries to actually try to elope with the united states and i'm sure united states also foreseeable lateral trade agreements we do number of african countries at the end of the day africa is ready for investment and i do hope that somehow we'll be able to find a trade relationship that is beneficial to all and suddenly africa is

a very important continent for the united states and i look forward to how we can improve that relationship going forward as specially in terms of trade and especially in terms of investments as well. mention improving trade within africa would be a huge boost to the economy what about improving the situation for young people jobs create more jobs to ensure that there's no brain drain to europe it is often the case that quite a lot of your young workers do end up on europe shores. yes that's true but i don't believe that if you child africa's youth actually lives in europe and i don't believe it lies also in the mediterranean sea does it lie on the bottom i mean in the heat of the sahara desert it lies in an africa that is growing well able to create a lot of jobs for these young people unable to top into the you know huge amount of enter not entropy nori passively but africa's you've had and that's one of the

things one of the our reasons why the african development bank has launched a very bold program to address this particular issue is called the africa just a youth in africa program which we're going to be supporting african countries to create twenty five million jobs over the next ten years and that's going to be in different areas i would call show i.c.t. areas and small and medium size enterprises look i i really believe also that a huge opportunity is to be chaffed in africa when it comes to digital technology and a lot of in tough you know should be in this particular area and we are working quite a lot in africa in trying to do this i want african young people to thrive under prosper in africa suddenly now to make the kind of very perilous trips that i see sometimes that goes on into military in an inch of europe i think a more vibrant africa that invest a lot of young people that's able to keep them profitably engaged on the continent is the way to go and that's what the african development bank is doing president of

the african development bank i can be additional thank you very much for coming on appreciate it. you're welcome thank you. returning to our top story and a development that will grab the attention of the business world for sure iran is threatening to shut down the strait of hormuz in response to those u.s. sanctions the strategic waterway links the indian ocean with the gulf it's a crucial route for shipping energy supplies of crude oil and liquefied natural gas on the average around nine eighteen million barrels of petroleum products are transported every day from the arab gulf states to the rest of the world almost a third of all oil traded at sea passes through the strait any disruption could trigger a major supply issues and unsettled markets let's go over to sophie szymanski she's on wall street for us tonight so if we could this spock and oil crisis well i would say that depends on how serious iran as i'm blocking the strait of

hormuz they have threatened to close it and that's done that previously and the strait of hormuz is the crucial conduit for global energy supplies and a narrow passage in the persian gulf to send its head the movement of some thirty to thirty five percent of the world maritime all three so now the conflict around iran has gained momentum after the reimposed tension fell. through on the most of our choosing a very strong and bold way here very strong gestures and that could definitely lead to an escalation and u.s. officials say that the u.s. assesses that the exercise and the strait as partly being held in response to rising with henri crumby way so some do saying this is wrong targeting the united states as an answer to these new imposed sanctions and terrorists well as you said they've made the threat before it's a very strong bargaining chip that they do have but what's the likelihood that

they'll use it. well that is hard to say from here and in the moment is certainly the ball bats and as i mentioned before they have only talked the talk so far it was more about psychology at how it seemed so it is a familiar refrain that tougher tory is more than likely to be followed up by more miles that retaliation attempt maybe such as the harassment of the f.o. in the strait of hormuz so while iran has made this threat before it had never followed through and actually shutting down the strait would be a drastic and damaging move for the country itself so in the end of results are paid the price and if investors believe this threat imposes a real danger the price should be rising ok some good points there from so fisherman scale most straight thank you to an interesting city now i visited recently where the second world war won't be forgotten for
