excellent choice like me just like says the 50 nations 50 story. if you very personal tips on berlin's a very best feature. on t.w. . around ships from patients to compensation tehran says its nuclear activities again as the latest u.s. sanctions prove much harsher on the economy. jobs are a battleground in this weekend's election the main parties say the answer is lower taxes and stronger growth. and add to them as mayor wants the curtains closed on brothel windows that display prostitutes to clean up the city's historic center. is

all and when to do business iran is set to boost enrichment beyond the limit in its nuclear deal starting sunday it's in reaction to tough american sanctions that have targeted its main foreign revenue stream oil exports europe is urging iran to stick to the accord but tehran wants guarantees that it can still benefit financially from the deal even though the u.s. has pulled out. a simple shopping expedition is no longer a pleasant pastime for iranians it's not only the prices for imported goods which have shot up since the u.s. re imposed sanctions paralyzing iran's foreign trade prices for groceries and other basics are also skyrocketing the country's currency the rio is also depreciating rapidly. those lucky enough to have access to dollars or euros are best off into iran's ground the anger is palpable. if the situation
8:32 am
remains like this we'll have to leave iran we're trying very hard to get out of the country differently there's no future here. as you can see iranians need bread rather than nuclear programs they want their economic situation to improve the point is that you can't fill up your kids bellies with nuclear energy. the new u.s. sanctions also make it practically impossible for german companies to do business with iran firstly because hardly any banks so willing to handle the payments leaving the iranians with no way to pay the invoices and also because washington has threatened retribution against any companies which continue to do business with iran. out of the many companies which set out to rekindle their old business
8:33 am
relationships as soon as e.u. sanctions against iran were repealed only 60 a lift and then more or less just keeping an eye on the situation on the ground rather than actually doing any business there of. companies like multivac german midsized company and global leader in food packaging during previous sanctions it was still able to offer services to its iranian clients to keep their often decades old machinery running but this time around not even that much as possible any activity in iraq could cause incalculable damage to multivariate elsewhere cut off from the outside world with rampant inflation and unemployment rising the lives of ordinary iranians become harder by the day. why is director of the think tank. get the sunday deadline for getting the us to essentials passes can we expect.
8:34 am
well we will have to expect is that iran means business that means that they will exceed the limit of 3.67 percent. grade of enrich uranium and this bill certainly further complicate the whole discussion about the nuclear agreement or the g.c. and we have to expect that a whole. new wave of between iran europe and the u.s. a little uncertain whether sanctions have been in place for months you were just there what impact did you see on the people you can see immediate impact that. to try as as we have seen in your report are going up any goods that are important from the outside. prices are spiking we can see it in long term long term effects in the way that people are losing confidence in the future and there is a lot of uncertainty as the as to where the economy of this country is is going to
8:35 am
and that uncertainty is really hard for people to do that just so just how badly has the economy been hit what do you think. i mean that you like an economy has not really been in good shape anyway before the sanctions the new sanctions regime certainly exacerbated that that economic model is so we had corruption and mismanagement that has been there before and sanctions are just meet new even even worse than that there is all no sense of a collapse of the economy but at least there is a lot of our hardship now just lastly trying strategy is to use these sanctions to turn the iranians against the government that's a strategy is it working. that is certainly not working for a couple of reasons 1st because the iranians are realizing that it's not just their own government that can be blamed for corruption mismanagement but also the outside world knew the u.s. for the sanctions 2nd the people who live under cannot be hard should have the time
8:36 am
for political activities or to be acted in sort of movement they have to meet their needs they have to try to meet the needs of their everyday lives so they are much more busy these questions and the iranian establishment has been always capable of feeding those who are in most need so we cannot really expect that the people will turn against the government there but certainly the hardship is felt and the 2 sides are only their own government as well as the us. by director of the think tank capo on those sanctions and how they hitting the iranian economy thank you very much for joining us now pleasure european central bank member of the brain says the economic slowdown in the eurozone is no longer temporary and he says the bank must develop policy alternatives if the slump gets any worse the currency block slowdown has lasted over a year and has been aggravated by trade for. correct boozing joins
8:37 am
us from outside the e.c.b. in frankfurt our financial correspondent there what kind of policy alternatives is this central banker talking about. well then for example the european central bank could consider buying other assets instead of bonds for example company shares stocks this is something being discussed among central bankers the european central bank could also make some of its very unconventional monetary policy measures bolder for example it could push the negative deposit rate further down in negative territory you know that's the rate the bank introduced in order to force commercial banks to give out money as loans rather than keeping it many people on the markets believe that this is exactly what the european central bank will decide
8:38 am
at its next meeting later this month but with all this within the mandate of the european central bank. well of course that's a matter of discussion especially here in germany many conservative monetary policy pundits believe it would not be within the mandate but you know mario draghi has constantly been repeating that it's the political leaders who have to come up with better ideas in order to make the economy work and it has to be said since the financial crisis the e.c.b. has failed to meet the target of price stability which is you know a consumer price inflation of 2 percent or slightly below that so the central bankers think that they have to come up with some creativity and in frankfurt thank you. jobs are a battleground going into greece's national election on sunday the government's
8:39 am
austerity drive has left deep scars youth unemployment in greece is at 40 percent he's leading in the polls of both promising tax relief and strong economic growth. the mood at the south and market ahead of the election is dreadful many feel deceived by the government despite improvements to things like social security the middle classes still feel neglected in the going to mean going to so far the politicians have only looked after their own finances. something's got to happen fast investment companies need growth to create jobs with if you're studying greece and it's even high school and you see this appointment it's obviously that you would leave so much given what has attained investors agree the endeavor greece organization supports mid-sized companies using its global networks the greek economy may have been recovering steadily over the last 2 years but a taste for risk and an investor friendly climate are still not evident we need to
8:40 am
incentivize obviously suspect more risks we need to incentivize them to. grow give give them we are all the possible support to hire more people. start exporting more in anathem suburb the company makes bicycles with wooden frames it started off by making mattresses but coca might head paul if more for this is constantly expanding his business interests despite the bureaucratic obstacles he wants more freedom and enterprise and less bureaucracy from the next government. should just let people produce what they want to and the government is there to make people more satisfied not richer ok we get rich from our work not from the government of any from the ideal it's pretty clear that whoever wins the election will have plenty of work to do to change the mood in the country and it's companies like. abs them is considering drawing the curtains on its well famous
8:41 am
brothels the mayor once established men's with windows displaying prostitutes either shut down or at least have the curtains closed. all day and all night and saddam's red light district attracts thousands of tourists every week but many of the sex workers it employs in its 330 brothel windows think the visitors aren't paying them enough respect. they look but they don't buy it complains one worker and amsterdam's numero greece woman maisha stuart's mother is me most is the way visitors treat the sex workers are quite often large groups like south parties or groups of tourists take photographs of the women they laugh at them and mock them these women are at work they're vulnerable i find out so humiliating i don't find it acceptable and the show overnighted into think are among the changes she's considering is closing the curtains so that workers are no longer seen from the
8:42 am
street another would be to move the red light district out of the city center altogether which would disappoint some visitors maybe they can control it in a bit in a way that way they can minimize but there are things going out but i think it's it's it's a shame really as i think the culture. so we keep coming back down may have to choose between protecting its sex workers dignity and preserving its tourism industry. business with here.
