nineteen eighteen non-drug d. w.'s november focus and. a little bit of. this is deja vu news live from our lead people in iran preparing for the worst as tough u.s. citations come into force and the measures target the oil and the financial sectors but whom have the desired effect or is the u.s. playing into the hands of iranian hardliners also coming up. here in germany as the competition heats up to find a successor to on the makeover her c.d.u.

has bled over its future corps members are calling for a return to its conservative roots. and tapping into a new creative vibe in africa a contemporary art fair nigeria showcasing some of the best the continent has to offer we speak to an artist whose the five the avs make it back. and in the bonus league log back back to their winning ways they be distilled or three nil to climb to second in the table to bring in the goals from sunday's matchups. i brought in thomas welcome and thanks so much for being with us the iranian president hassan rouhani has vowed to bypass u.s. sanctions calling them unjust and illegal he was speaking as the sanctions because

the described by washington as the toughest ever came into force the measures target all key areas of the arabian economy including the oil financial and shipping sectors. it's not business as usual in iran u.s. oil and financial sanctions have come back into force and the consequences could cripple the islamic republic u.s. president donald trump has called the obama era deal flawed his administration twice extended sanction waivers but no more iran sanctions are very strong the strongest sanctions we've ever imposed. and we'll see what happens with iran but they're not doing very well i can tell you iran is not doing very well. how iran fares under the renewed sanctions may become quickly evident with imports restricted iranians are likely to see a spike in prices for everyday goods with exports restricted the country's fragile

economy may stagnate. because we can see the effect of sanctions in this bizarre. there was a man here today who did not have money to buy aleutian for his baby because the economic situation is getting worse the people are very poor and times are hard. this time we feel that we've done everything right we we've involved ourselves in the international community we've done the steps that have been asked of us and we've said the right things and now what it feels like is that we are facing a bullying tactic. whatever the immediate impact on ordinary iranians the trump administration stated target is iran's government so it ends support for terrorism and syria's bashar al assad they hope what the administration calls maximum pressure will weigh on iran's leadership in a way that previous decades of u.s. sanctions and economic isolation have not. so will maximum pressure work to talk

about that in the studio is the debut of correspondent and iran expert to research proper good morning and from washington our correspondent stefan simons good morning to you as well stefan trees if we can start with you president trump says he hopes resuming the sanctions will get iran to return to the negotiating table over its nuclear program are there any signs that that tehran is willing to offer any concessions well so far the iranian leadership has shown no indication that it's about to surrender to washington's present anytime soon and president rouhani has just said in a speech on state television that iran intends to probably buy pos the reimpose sanctions and just continue to sell oil anyway so the government rejected fresh negotiations from the start because if things that will not get anything in return but it's ordinary iranians that suffer the most because food prices have gone up by

fifty percent that's according to iran central bank so the government has to hand out food to families with you know in. so ordinary iranians might feel that it might make them president rouhani and president talked so what's it looking like in washington stefan is there is that of the impression especially with what we're hearing now with the pressure from the street that tehran will return to the table and offer some new movement. august's that's what the u.s. is the only for the u.s. with the with the new sanctions with quitting the iran nuclear deal in may then the first round of sanctions in august and now the second. biting pot because sitting or oil and banking industry the u.s. administration for sure wants concessions from iran and those thought as sanctions are targeted the u.s. says towards the regime of the regime only of course the average sure the iranian

citizen will suffer from this if prices increase but important for the u.s. is that the there is where they want concessions from iran a better deal nuclear deal a new nuclear deal with iran with tougher regulations for iran and b. the u.s. is very concerned about iran's non-nuclear ballistic missile testing and doesn't like that so those sanctions are going in this direction that's what the u.s. wants to reset how is around planning to get around as it says the sanctions well to run will just return to its old playbook of circumventing sanctions and they've actually had a lot of practice with that because sanctions have been in place for quite a number of years over the past decades. and they're pretty good at. avoiding those things sions that involves bank accounts and third countries or relabeling goods they want to transfer into the country they've done that a lot back with the two thousand and twelve sanctions and some people got very rich

doing that because they often ways around those sanctions and then when necessary so they made a lot of money the problem is that was rich people people were rich already well powerful and ordinary iranians don't see any of that their life gets harder and the people who are already rich get richer and stuff on the regime in tehran is saying that what this is all about is regime change is there anything to that where you are. behavior change from the from iraq as being the supporter of proxy groups in the region in syria and yemen and a supporter of terrorism. is secretary of state pump a zero yesterday on national television slammed iran again for exactly doing this is that we don't want regime change as long as you behave in the region and don't cause us any more trouble or be more of a headache for us. we can find a way to make this all work but that's what the u.s.

wants however having said that there are some experts some. observers who say that . the u.s. . clearly interested in regime change would probably never not mind if the situation in iran gets so sticky that. pressure from the streets would change or garnish some change within the regime at least three so what's it looking like is the regime in tehran stable enough to avoid being toppled by these sanctions well there's been a number of protests in the past year but those were mostly about economic problems so if the economic problems get worse there might be more protests as well but that doesn't mean regime changes that are around the corner because many iranians still feel the pull of the old revolution are afraid of unrest there is a driver for us in the studio or around experts and stephens arms for us in washington thanks very much to both of you and we'll have more on the new

sanctions on iran and there are facts in our business news that's coming up later in the program. now to some of the other stories making the news at this hour president trump has criticized illegal immigration and high taxes as republican voters rally in the states of georgia and tennessee that was on the final weekend before midterm elections of former president barack obama also appearing on the campaign trail to support democratic party candidates this vote will decide who controls the u.s. congress. the first group of central americans traveling in a caravan to mexico have reached the country's capital mexico city they're still about one thousand kilometers from the u.s. where they intend to seek asylum president trump is ordered thousands of american troops to the border with mexico to stop them from entering. through others news agencies as two of its reporter jails e.j. held in myanmar have appealed their convictions in

twenty one with all the cross country cross currents in the party right now it's i think everything hinges on that party conference that you just mentioned that's going to be taking place in hamburg on december the eighth where they're going to be voting a new cd you party leader a new chairman or chairwoman for the policy in the bus. candidates of the moment is three minutes everybody's talking about him he's very much an antiemetic hole in terms of policy and he's also he's got a massive grudge against i'm going to go from way back when from two thousand and two when she ousted him as parliamentary group leader he then a couple of years later went into the political wilderness and has been there for ten years is a financial advisor he's coming back into german politics now he bears a massive bridge a grudge against anglo american if they are supposed to work together for two or three years a lot of commentators here in berlin are saying it's not going to happen and the government would implode within six months if you have mats and go in tandem see

the favorite candidate right now and he has a lot of support in the conservative base in the party that's absolutely right he's a he's there's a lot of euphoria in the party surrounding fritters matts they see him as as embodying a possible return to very much sort of traditional values national identity is what he's talked about very different from angela merkel the sort of the much more the liberal centrist but there are two other candidates and a great crime karen by the is the favorite uncle of medical she very much wants her to succeed as the party leader and then eventually as the chancellor and she is very very much a successor for all of that you know she she would be very much in on the americans mold of course you know what about the conservatives partners in the coalition the social democrats they have suffered conservative loss recently struggling struggling you know the some say they're heading for single digits right now how secure is the coalition with their setbacks in those recent votes and has and very moving away brian over the weekend we had a new poll thirteen percent for the social democrats that's the same as the

alternative for germany that at that level they're getting close to single digits as you say they've got a charisma problem they don't sell their ideas very well they've got a content problem the they believe that they've got good ideas a good message social justice but they're not getting it across they're not being listened to by people and they've tried different leaders different approaches nothing has worked and there's a real fear that the party of billy brands in hell much mitt is literally going to melt away and become a marginal phenomenon in germany both vaporizing right now like their french counterparts indeed craven thanks very much for that this morning axel puter. and you can find out much more about the candidates hoping to replace on the back of the latest episode of d w's podcast that's with damien mcguinness. it's to the bundesliga now or munching dog bark when the design these derby clash against this will dwarf knowing a win would see them leap frog bar in munich into second place and they did just
