financial system including government purchases of u.s. dollars the trading of gold and not the precious metals and of industrial goods and soft ways to stop their washington hopes the sanctions will force tehran 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 but iran's president hassan rouhani says offering negotiations while at the same time imposing sanctions makes no since. they want to launch psychological warfare against the iranian nation and create divisions among the people. and that so-called psychological warfare it seems to be having an effect. on the entire sanctions have definitely had an impact whether it's on the currency exchange rate all the price of gold they have resulted in the loss of many jobs

because you know if the dollar goes up the price of everything will go up but in the end the people should have some patience and tolerance towards the sanctions. on the house. but you know. if it continues like this we won't have a good life in the future. that he said is wrong and he runs government he's acknowledging this to read through honey calling on a rainy and to unite in the face of the coming hardship. more of this let's bring in eric randolph is the tehran correspondent for 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
11:04 am
from trump over the last year or more had spooked investors has prevented foreign. companies from from do business head on the rules if you were to run on the currency in recent months the senior news hop it's about so that was already having an effect sanctions well some industries that came in today the real damage will probably come in november when the second wave of sanctions targets the oil sector which is obviously vital to ron's economy though some countries like say china or india in turkey have said that they can't cut or use this from iran too much. so there will be a bit of a buffer but that will be when the worst damage is this folks 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
11:05 am
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. stage they're retired to the negotiating table the time when trump is launching 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. short of trumpet is. ok should as you mentioned national pride in iran be playing a predominant role here might the country resume its nuclear program kick start again its ballistic program and continue its military support for the syrian regime is that all in play now. threaten to

increase it's you ready or not richmond today launched a plan to do so back in june but it housed stepped back from actually doing anything like the money and it's enjoying having the morrow up behind it's also trying to seek some support from the the e.u. and russia and china 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 america the eye so that it's on this issue and for once iraq is the one that's been keeping to its commitments and looking like the adults 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 there would have to take some show some overt toleration. america's violation of the new good ok will be looking at what form

that retaliation might take in the days weeks and months ahead eric randolph thanks for now now for some of the other stories making the news at this hour in portugal firefighters are still battling to control a blaze that has been burning for a number of days in the country's southern coastal argo algarve area and it's just thousand firefighters been dispatched to that region the army is helping evacuate villagers temperatures are expected to remain well above forty degrees across parts of the country. and then a sway law 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 medoro self did not attend questions remain over saturday's reported drone attack critics fear the president will use the 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 all the i'm ashamed he says his father's being denied vital medical care in a bahraini jail the seventy year old machine he was arrested in two thousand and eleven and sentenced to life in prison for his role in pro-democracy protests. here in germany a court is found a couple guilty in a child sexual abuse trial that shocked the nation according freiburg sentence the victim's mother to twelve and a half years in prison and her male partner to twelve years. four years the couple sexually assaulted the woman's son and made him available to paedophiles online several men have already been convicted of paying the koppel to sexually abuse the child the case is also raised disturbing questions about the failings of authorities to protect the boy he'd previously been taken into state care but was then released to his mother. i'm joined now by deed abuse simon young is following
11:09 am
this very disturbing case for us today assigning can you fill us in on what has happened in court. yes brian twelve and a half years in prison is the sentence for the mother for her part in easing and then selling on the internet her son who's now ten years old twelve years for her partner he's not the boy's fault but easier convicted previously convicted paedophile and should never have been living in the same house as this boy. he's also by the way going to be held for a longer period in protective custody after the end of his sentence as he himself requested to keep him out of reach of children in future assignment briefly on this question if you could how does this case come to light well there was an anonymous tip that i believe came from the darkness itself. obviously not everybody there is
11:10 am
involved in child abuse or pornography and perhaps somebody who was using that don't know at the some other reason become aware of this platform and tipped off police ok so many failures that you've listed out in the system here police social services included what are german authorities going to do to prevent child abuse cases like this from happening in the future. well course it's very difficult to tackle this problem because of the conspiratorial nature of it it's kept secret and indeed in this case in particular the mother is said to have you know put on a face for all thora tease suggesting she was protecting the child not arousing suspicions in any way and these were experts in dealing with child abuse they didn't think she posed a threat but she she hid away so how can the authorities get in there one thing they can do is use this instrument of protective custody because once people have been identified as paedophiles many experts say it's
11:11 am
a lifelong problem that stays with them and one of the best things to do with a lot of people is just to keep them off the streets then they can't do any more harm and they can also get some therapy and help as well ok talk about the dark what is the german government going to do to crack down on actively the sale of children on the internet well the darkness difficult to reach as well that's a second secondary problem there have been successful international police operations in the past for instance closing round closing down the silk road platform that dark net marketplace that was used for illegal transactions so there have been successes in this area one of the problems with ortiz face is how long they can keep data for because if they have to delete it they they're essentially deleting the evidence the digital evidence so there is going to be a constitutional court ruling later this year to bring german rules more into line with what's done in the u.s. for instance so it's a difficult area but with orators are advancing we'll look forward to hearing more
