tensions between the two countries. the trump administration has issued a blunt warning to nations buying oil from iran after may second there will be no exceptions to sanctions norway various nations that continue to buy uranium oil will be made to suffer more we're going to zero going to zero across the board we will continue for sanctions and monitor compliance any nation or entity interacting with iran should do its diligence and err on the side of caution the risks are simply not going to be worth the benefits pump a zero said the u.s. had granted enough time for the affected countries to wean themselves off of rainy and oil and find alternative suppliers. before washington re-impose sanctions against iran last year terran produced around two point three million barrels of oil per day that's around five percent of global i pushed until now washington had

granted some importing nations waivers on the oil sanctions china and india are the biggest buyers of rainy and crude recently they've stepped up their purchases along with south korea italy and greece on the other hand have managed to cut their demand turkey had been fighting until the last moment for sanctions waiver extension. pump they went on to say that there would be no grace period for those economies to comply despite sanctions iran's oil exports are said to have increased around twelve percent by the end of march but it's hard to say how accurate that figure is iran conceals the exact in mind by making good use of its armada of oil tankers the second largest fleece in the world. when i saw you now about some of the other stories making news around the world. opposition protesters in sudan have broken off talks with the ruling military council after it was fused to hand over

mentioned he was an actor as a comedian know a political experience he's also from a middle class background he's jewish by the way and we have some shots of his earlier career as an actor this whole thing is sort of life imitating art imitating life because he played the president of ukraine on the six that he was on and he was able to ascend to the presidency in part because of his very controlled narrative his use of social media allowed him to minimize his gaffes he gave very few interviews or press conferences during the campaign he was actually able to pull off sort of a social media arms race during the campaign in fact at one point via social media challenging the incumbent go to a drug test which ended up actually happening he had a much younger more sort of internet generation staff and the end of all this. after he won he sent out this message as part of his thank you saying hey all you other post soviet countries you can do this too we have unseated in all of dark
