this is deja vu news live from berlin iran on lashes out at renewed u.s. sanctions saying it's psychological warfare. president rouhani also slams donald trump's call for direct talks he says it's all aimed at creating chaos in iran we'll be live in tehran also coming up. the trial that has shocked germany for years a mother and her partner allegedly sexually abused her son and made him available to pedophiles on the dark night. indonesia steps up the search

for earthquake victims but powerful aftershocks are impeding operations thousands of tourists have been evacuated from the holiday the day island of lombok. and too much of a good thing the international monetary fund is saying germany's trade surplus is adding to global trade tensions. by bryan thomas a very warm welcome to the show around president hassan rouhani has lashed out at the renewed u.s. sanctions that took effect just a few hours ago he's accusing washington of launching psychological warfare and of trying to destabilize iran president donald trump has reimposed many of the sanctions that were in effect before the twenty fifteen nuclear deal with tehran the sanctions will affect millions of iranians already hard pressed by skyrocketing

inflation and high unemployment. these people will be hit hardest by the u.s. sanctions measures suspended in two thousand and fifteen after years of suffering by the iranian population now brought back by the trumpet ministration. 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 bonds sales and the automobile sector the iranian real when the free fall in anticipation of the sanctions coming into effect the currency slide has already been felt on the streets of iran. wants us sanctions have definitely had an impact whether it's on the currency exchange rate or the price of gold i think resulted in the loss of many jobs because in. north if the dollar goes up the price of everything will

go up. but in the end people should have some patience and tolerance towards sanctions in event that you highlight 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 the government will think about us people that want me that i want and don't have to fix they've not a sentiment washington hopes will force tehran back to the negotiating table. well they could take up the president's offer to negotiate with and 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. the first step would be for trump to show that he genuinely wants to

engage in negotiations what's the meaning of niggas. when you impose sanctions at the same time like the ship which. rowhani called on a rainy night in the face of the coming hardship. for more of this let's bring in eric randolph is the tehran correspondent for a.f.p. good morning eric we just saw there what it is potentially at stake for iran but let's back up a little bit you know what impact will these sanctions actually have china india even the e.u. say that they will now essentially ignore them will they be that severe in their impact. a lot of the damage has already been done because the aggressive rhetoric from trump over the last year or more spooked investors has prevented foreign. companies from from do business here to serve if you were to run on the currency of recent months the news hot spot so that was already having an effect sanctions with

some industries that came into the real probably coming november. the second wave of sanctions targets the oil sector which is obviously vital to runs economy though some countries like say china or india and turkey have said that they can't cut or use purchases from iran too much. so there will be a bit of a buffet but that will be run. down and this follows ok so so we have a window of opportunity potentially here up until november for talks to resume to start up again do you think iran will return to the negotiating table with the white house. and it's very difficult for president rouhani and the iranian leadership. who have been shown to be somewhat naive in the eyes of the conservative opponents to have trusted america in the first place with the nuclear do. a lot of trying to stage their return to the

negotiating table a time when trump is launching those threats and accusations against them and is trying to destroy their economy and undermine the political system and it's going to be a very difficult political sell. they said they're open to negotiations if trump can show. respect and. roof through didn't a fight. on the shore of trump is. ok should as you mentioned national pride in iran be playing the predominant role here might the country resume its nuclear program could start again its ballistic program and continue its military support for the syrian regime is that all in play now. it was pressing to increase its you ready or not richmond to launch the plan to do so back in june but it housed stepped back from

actually doing anything like that at the moment it's enjoying having the morrow out it's also trying to seek. support from the russian trying to the other parties to the nuclear deal to see what can be salvaged so it's keeping those threats and its back pocket but at the moment it's making a good point that it's american the looks i said that it's had on this issue and for once iraq is the one that's been keeping to its commitments and looking like the votes in the rue neuve this and i think is enjoying that status but there will come a point when if all of its economic benefits run out and it's very hard to justify staying the nuclear deal then they would have to take it so that shows some. retaliation. america's violation of the new could be ok will be looking at what form that retaliation might take in the days weeks months ahead eric randolph thanks for now well here in germany the dark net is once again at the center of

national attention with the verdict expected in the trial of a couple who prostituted their young song online for years a mother and her partner sexually abused the woman's son and made them available to paedophiles online we'll talk to our correspondent about this case first we have this report. when christiane l. met his partner and her son he had already raped a girl and spent four years in jail but despite all the warnings and legal restrictions it happened again with his new partner. the feinberg court had to review evidence of horrific acts rapes bondage and degradation committed by christiane l. the child's own mother and also by other men for two whole years. the couple prostituted the boy online men from across europe sexually assaulted the boy and paid his mother and her partner several thousand euros. both confessed to the

crimes a psychiatrist declared them capable of full criminal liability public prosecutors demanded a long prison sentence followed by preventive detention for christiane el additional suspects believed to have raped the child in exchange for money are being tried separately and some have already been convicted the boy is now ten years old he lives with a foster family he has not asked about his mother for over a year since she was arrested. we're joined now by did abuse simon young who's following this very unsettling and disturbing case for us good morning simon why did it take so long to uncover all of this what brought on this abuse was going on for about two and a half years until police finally reacted to an anonymous tip in september of twenty seventeen and clearly this couple were very successful at keeping a secret what they were doing in particular the mother of the boy is described as

putting on an external show that was even protective of her. you know raising no suspicions among social workers even though she was involved in the obese directly herself simon germany prize itself on its massive social safety net worth you have the police social services internet watchdog groups out there in place to prevent this type of crime yet they all fell down they failed what happened. yeah as we saw in the report the mother's partner e's a convicted paedophile so he should not have been able to live under the same roof as this boy he was banned from having contact with children but the authorities clearly failed bear a not picking up on that end and acting more generally there are accusations that

the various family courts and other all thora t's did look at this family didn't exchange information properly and so that even when the boy was taken away from his mother for a short while both or it is last year he was then soon returned to them and they said oh well you know there's no problem here so that's why the state prosecutors are also taking action against some employees of the youth services so there's been clearly massive failings by several institutions here ok it certainly did here there might be some kind of action you know when we talk about child trafficking child sex trafficking on the internet we mainly think of large organizations and networks but what's the german government going to do to crack down to do a better job against this type of child sexual assault the dark night. well

i think it's extremely difficult in the nature of it to really get a grip on it because of the conspiratorial nature of it one thing you can do in these cases to break up these prostitution rings. preventive custody that is to say locking people up even beyond the end of the term of their sentence the court can order that if it says these people still pose a threat to children and indeed in at least one of the cases of the defendants who've already been sentenced in this case that's what's happened and the partner of the of the mother here the convicted paedophile has said that he wants to be held in an institution for years after the end of his sentence so he can be treated but above all so that he doesn't pose a threat to any more children simon young thank you very much simon for bringing us up to date on this case now for some of the other stories making the news today around the world in venezuela

a rally has been held in support of president nicolas maduro after an alleged attempt on his life government employees say they were ordered to attend the march in the capital caracas although doro himself did not put in an appearance question still harbor over saturday's reported drone attacks trix fear the president will use this incident to further consolidate his power. the son of a bahraini opposition leader has started a hunger strike outside the country's embassy in london ali machine me says father is being denied vital medical care in a bar a new jail seventy year old hassan machine he was arrested in two thousand and eleven and sentenced to life in prison for his role in pro-democracy protests. indonesia is stepping up the search for earthquake survivors on the island of lombok the death toll stands at ninety eight but that's expected to rise rescuers are having to comb through the rubble of the more than thirteen thousand homes that were damaged on that island powerful aftershocks as well as comes to power and

communications in a number of areas are hampering the search. 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 lights went out and he must have been there when the roof collapsed some local people say the authorities response to the disaster has been inadequate. we have not received any official ate they have not come to help us only devolve into yours or hear it almost daily 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 toonami could fall and the earthquake. well we didn't get any warning at all and then it was literally every side going into the health. overhaul 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 if. the authorities admit there have been problems with the rescue operation. in the accusation is difficult to see water levels are low or even so big vessels cannot reach the ports 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 for a change of pace and for many of us music plays a central role in our lives educators in tunisia have taken that to heart they've launched a project for eighty eight educational concerts and tunisian schools each concert launches a student led after school music club and there are eighty eight concerts because that's the number of keys on a piano and see how it all works. on the road in the desert and on an unusual mission to win over students for buckle chopin and that's in some rather far off places. the projects called eighty eight founded by the american pianist kimball kalika

a piano of course has eighty eight keys. service yeah it's a music project but really beneath that it's a it's a whole transformational was somewhere people can kind of realize and grow into their own potential. on the edge of the sahara desert lies the small town of tam a sec the venue for the next concert seventeen year old malik can hardly wait she loves music but the town doesn't have much to offer in remote rural china zia schools lack facilities have and i think it's great that we can have base kind of a concept because there's basically nothing going on in the scale and can see in a conversion and i think. and so malek and her girlfriends off to school. in the school auditorium german alric brand new birth is warming up on his saxophone.

whenever kimble gallagher plays the audience is sure to be riveted for many it's the first time they've seen a piano. and when the chin is e an opera singer ben cica performs a number from romeo and juliet the crowd is bowled over music like this is highly unusual in southern tunisia an area still threatened by islamists and this concept certainly strikes a chord. the was. the benghazi i really like that in the past five years i've been attending the school we've never had anything like it. for the school principal it's

a big bonus. the look our school is far away in an insecure border area we lack everything teachers materials instruments we can't offer things like this to our students. at the. time a second certainly seen better times tourists used to come here to experience the sahara but they don't come anymore because the region is just too dangerous hardly anyone wants to visit the spectacular desert and that leaves locals counting the cost. extremists often exploit the lack of opportunities the music project should counter that it aims to make people interested in something that's foreign to them share them in a fun way how you can master the cello.

or you have students from a neighboring village show up and sing a song they've written. piece of good news yet eighty eight is more than just a concert afterwards young people set up a music club whoever wants to take charge has to make a speech. that. was a. little beatrice was a. molecular is not going to miss this chance it's a grounding in basic democracy these young people are learning how to shape their own destinies through music. with the facts like out of school music is a two for getting involved for getting connected to a society to a club or to a city and the nation and it's a means of making change possible. to new jersey eighty eight has already reached more than eight thousand young people and it looks like things are actually

happening in thomas a malakas just been voted in as president of the new club and met elizabeth is saying again we're going to try to get some musical instruments and create more opportunities for the we want to change the mentality here and i'm sure that we're going to have to do events you know. an idea some instruments. and above all some initiative. it doesn't take much. to liven up the often every day life in tunisia. us a great project over to go hard now on the i.m.f. certainly has liven things up germany is under pressure from them to do more about its trade surplus brandram and germany's monthly trade figures have just come out and there is indeed a mild surprise import levels are on

a record high that could come as well coming as to the critics of germany's trade surplus like u.s. president donald trump but the international monetary fund has also long criticized the imbalance and is not sure germany has done enough to counteract says. today's figures from the german statistics bureau show that in june this year germany exported goods worth more than one hundred fifteen billion euros and imported around ninety four billion euros worth that's the highest monthly import value since foreign trade statistics were first published in one nine hundred fifty but the i.m.f. has been saying germany hasn't done enough to correct the imbalance its chief economist says this is nothing to be proud of. in contrast to the common assumption a large trade surplus is not necessarily a sign of strength it can rather be seen as evidence of weak domestic investment strolled on still see berlin invest more at home in digitalisation and infrastructure than germans might consume more and perhaps even spend

a bit more on imported goods let's discuss germany's trade. fees from the hans voeckler foundation think times of germany's confederation consideration of trade unions. the i.m.f. says germans germany's hesitancy to reduce its trade plus is contributing to trade tensions and adds to risks that could undermine global financial stability does the international monetary fund does indeed donald trump appoint the international monetary fund has a point and in his criticism donald trump also has a point and basically he says this criticism not only with international monetary fund but also with the european central bank is the european commission and they are indeed right we are exporting much more than we importing which necessitates that the rest of the world does exactly the opposite them putting much more than they exporting and they basically finances via debt so they increase their debts so

we're living off our economic model is built on others increasing their debts and this is clearly not sustainable and this was also one like that don't we we like that because it's not us who make the debts it's the others but at some point they will have difficulties and we've reached this point already this was the financial crisis of two thousand and nine and two thousand and ten the europe is the euro crisis. so this is not only some abstract danger that lurks in the future we've already been at that point if we only come out of this crisis because of very low interest rates. management more government that bothers but it is likely that the situation might repeat in the future. is germany really to blame as many politicians say for the popularity of german products around the world so this is a little bit of a misconception the problem is not that we're exporting so much because we're doing because it's basically it's attractive the problem is that we're importing so little relative to what we export that's the real problem is it because we make

everything ourselves no we don't it's because domestic demand for the last twenty years has been stagnant more or less it has been grown additional bit recently but not enough so that we can import more how can we increase domestic demand we can do it for instance by government spending we now have a huge surplus in government accounts huge takes up classes that we didn't used to have the government could spend much more for instance on infrastructure we have a crumbling infrastructure in germany because we have this debt mania we don't want to have more debts now we have to stop us if we could use the surpluses invest in infrastructure hire more people they would have higher income they would spend it and part of the spending would go into imports briefly if you can't why on earth is germany not spending its money we cause we have the debt break we have a debt mania we say public debt is. the worst and we're paying the price in a crumbling infrastructure for that. thank you very much. germany's economy

minister says berlin now wants to intervene if nonny e.u. buyers intend to more than a fifteen percent stake from a german farm an e.u. law currently being drafted would mean further tightening from last year when rules were made allow government intervention if a foreign company bought a twenty five percent share of the german company the law would allow berlin to prohibit sales of critical infrastructure such as power grids and security related technologies it's a response to recent acquisitions by chinese companies that raised fears that might threaten national security and the loss of key technologies and that's why the government said last week it was ready to block the purchase of mechanical engineering company life it by chinese investors. facebook is off to your financial data now it's asking banks for uses financial information like credit card transactions on account balances that's what the wall street journal is reporting facebook wants to use the data for new features for its
