our website that dot com. the images in iran that the leaders of iran do not want the world to see buses torched crowds angry over huge hiking gas prices the revolutionary guard warning the public to back down or else tonight the ayatollah is blaming the u.s. calling for testers saugus and some of those protesters they're now publicly calling for the ayatollah to go i'm brylin this is the day. this is not the regime that pays us for our sacrifice. protest is different from riots the entire nation has the right to protest.

the setting of bank on fire is not an end done by the people this is what thoughts . come and. i own a car to use it not to block wrote us. also coming up german race drivers of fear is back in the driver's seat hugging the curves at full speed one year ago one of those hugs turned into a hit at 170 miles per hour in the corner i started crying it happened so fast no i think it's the floyd saw the video it didn't know that i was fighting for me it didn't feel that bad i meant to pay instead of kicking in. our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the maximum pressure on the leaders of iran and this time it's coming not from us

sanctions but rather from angry iranians 3 days ago the gulf. began rationing gasoline and at the same time doubled the price protests erupted across the country the pain at the gas pump becoming political and deadly at least 2 people have been killed in violence but a clampdown on the internet is making it hard to confirm what exactly is happening . it is the drastic policy change over gasoline the result of sanctions in the us his policy of maximum pressure or the protests symptoms of a homegrown discontent with the clerics at the top of the islamic republic what we do know tonight the supreme leader is accusing the u.s. of supporting violent unrest in the country and the revolutionary guard warned if the public does not restore order in calm the guards will and yet those daring to defy the government are showing no signs of intimidation take

a look now at what one woman dared to do on the bridge over a highway crowded by cars and people going nowhere.

6 there for now we want to bring in the iranian activists author and journalist must see on the new job she is in the united states but she has close contact with the people in iran and she joins me tonight from new york city mussy it's good to have you on the program on your twitter account today you posted that video of an iranian woman removing her he's challenging iran's rulers she publicly calls for

the ayatollah to be executed. this this woman she's taking her own life into were during his by doing that would you say that this is a rare expression of opinion or is this something that is beginning to represent the majority of the people in iran that let me tell you from the beginning this protest is beyond your job it's beyond the fuel price increase the people who are actually taking to that street and protesting they are chanting against the whole clerics they are chanting against the islamic republic and this is actually the 1st time got people who believe any job doesn't even it up people who are you know religion number of agents working class middle class to gather and they are actually saying that we are fed up with these dummy republik which is the shocking right now it's the level of violence against the people people are facing

live bullets people are being killed in the streets of tehran and different cities across iran. i mean those are claims that we are not able to verify partly because of this internet blackout in iran tell me how are you getting the information that you're getting about what's happening in the country. now some of the people actually using universities why 5 which is not a lot some of them using the wife i of governmental institutions because a lot of people who are even work for to government they are unhappy. this has been the 1st time in our history that for 3 days the internet is shut down almost most of the country and that actually shows you this sign of the panic which the government are facing because they are now scared all these people that think they

are out of control and they cannot control them so the videos that you receive actually showing that more than 100 people got killed more than a 1000 people got arrested and this is turning into the level of violence seen in a khobar on november 1978 during the last month of the shop when the military try to impose order based on reports from inside iran and the videos that i have been receiving you know people are actually from different cities around town taking to destry actually saying that we want the rest of the war to hear us we are like hostage in iraq so we are like prisoners in iraq so it sounds like you're what you're describing is the conditions for yet another revolution that today we had the revolutionary guard warning that if the unrest does not stop decisive action will be taken so there you have a threat right very for a military crackdown are you saying that we are looking at the beginnings of

another revolution in iraq. to me it is just the beginning of another revolution because i know these people from working class middle class they have to try get a chance to reform the us government just regime and it didn't work look what jobs are a fun president rouhani has been saying to the rest of the world calling iran and island of the stability but you ronnie's not right now is suffering from economy you know pressure iran is suffering from social not happy lack of social freedom these governments who do not allow people to dance to seeing to choose their own like a study to look industry to really and choose what they want to wear this government never allow people to protest peacefully jabot that it was using krieger and saying that john's ideas are foreign minister that iranian people have the right to vote and have the right to protest when my south told yes or no as you know that you're

in the united states and you know that for a long time it has been u.s. policy that pressure now under president trump maximum pressure on iran will eventually lead to a regime change from within and are you saying then that the policy that the u.s. has pursued is now beginning to bear fruit. let me tell you something this is the behavior of the government leading people to you know osteen for revolution for having regime change this is the crux in iran not just the maximum pressure from outside and i'm not saying that given fact but let me tell you something when the iran deal happened people took to the street on sell everything to deep but the same people were asking for another deal which was human rights so

after the deal the government to spend the money in jaffa in syria in lebanon and that is why actually the main is still going in the streets right now people are chanting and angry then telling the government that do not to spend their money in the middle east we are suffering from not having bread not having electricity not having grown equal time not having being paid our salaries for months and months but what we need from the united states and the rest of the world especially the e.u. make this government discuss this takers it countable because they're killing the people they don't allow the journalists so they report about the the violence ok we don't need and from president trump our state directly from jail we have an action when he you joined a united estate yes unfortunately we're out of time but we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with this your passion and thoughts about the current situation in iran a must see on the judge joining us tonight from new york city once we thank you

thank you for having me or iran's leaders are not backing down claiming that the protests have morphed into violence so i want you to take a listen to how the government is describing the protesters and then listen to reaction from u.s. secretary of state mike pompei of. sure i was the methods have changed they came with knives and fire instead of just chanting slogans and protesting and they started attacking public facilities including military ones on the united states is monitoring the ongoing protests in iran closely. we condemn strongly any acts of violence committed by this regime against the iranian people and are deeply concerned by reports of several fatalities and we've been at that since the beginning of this administration the islamic republic must cease violence against its own people and should immediately restore the believe all arranged to access a free and open internet. the world's watching the iranian people will enjoy

a better future when their government begins to respect basic human rights abandons its revolutionary. posture and its destabilizing foreign policy in the region and behave simply like a normal nation. the choice is clearly with the regime and that was the u.s. secretary of state there mike pompei of let's take the story now into the u.s. capitol our correspondent public polling alias joins me now from washington d.c. good evening to you so we just heard from the u.s. secretary of state what is the white house policy now on this latest wave of protests in iran. hi branch well i mean i think it's pretty clear from what we heard there from the secretary of state mark pompei of very strong words there against the iranian regime you know basically he's saying that the you know the united states is monitoring those ongoing protests in iran and

they're deeply concerned also by the reports. in the country now and you know it was quite interesting to hear what he said there quite you know a threatening words in some ways in staying that you know the world is watching and that he you know demanding once again that the iranian people have access to you know free and open internet for example so that they can access information which they claim you know you know the free press is such now in that same press conference which was interesting at my pompei also brought up another big points of course for the united states which is that the nuclear program of iran now the united states says that it's terminating its sanctions waiver and related to iran's at fordo nuclear plant and that's where the united nations atomic watchdog has actually said that iran has been at enriching uranium so you know in many respects it's very own surprising what we've heard there from the secretary of

state mike. you know publicly we heard earlier in this program from activism she said that corruption in the government and in the bureaucracy. that corruption has been basically been festering no for a very long time and she said you know that is behind mainly behind these protests is that being reported in the u.s. that we were would you say that there's a feeling at the state department maybe a over the white house that these protests or a result of president truman's policy of maximum pressure on tehran. it's a it's you know it's a bit of both but more so here you know we're coming up to the one year mark of the beginning of trump's you know the trump and ministrations maximum pressure ad campaign and there is a feeling on so i would say that it is working you know that the iranian economy has been suffering and the impact of it is beginning to trickle down to you know

people on the street and that's something that's hard to ignore according to washington you know and many respects what my pompei was said in that press conference was sort of sort of hinting or just directly saying it and i mean the figures sort of back it up and that's what what's being said over here in the united states iran's g.d.p. is dropping considerably more so than was expected and they're saying that that has a direct it's because of this maximum pressure policy which is exploiting essentially the weaknesses in iran's what they claim is already a weak economy and also one of the biggest problems which is of course directly related to the to the iranian economy is their banking system which is being severely impacted by this maximum pressure policy high unemployment and then of course you know like you've been mentioning the increase in the price of petrol which of course affects every day life for iranians so you know overall like i said

they're seeing it as you know basically that washington's policy is working if one if washington is seeing success inside iran you know there's news today suggests there is not success outside of the wrong we've seen leaked diplomatic cables this is a big story published in the washington post today that says iran has 3 warded practically all u.s. attempts to block the wrong influence in the neighboring iraq it's a huge story has there been reaction. there's been plenty reaction i mean obviously here in the united states a lot of people are talking about it also we saw that you know a lot of details were actually pushed published in the new york times on in the intercept of the leak essentially what it did was it exposed iran's. basically vast influencing in neighboring iraq and it basically detailed the efforts tehran went to to basically spy on iraqi leaders and you know every aspect of political

life and obviously you know this dates back 220142015 so the big talking point here is how detailed and how you know involved they were in iraq you know pilots of political life all right our correspondent. on the story for us in washington thank you. researchers have been warning for years about the rise of superbugs antibiotic resistant bacteria well despite those the danger is higher than ever well this is the start of the world health organization's world antibiotic awareness week here's a look now at the threat posed by the super books. before the mid 20th century contracting a bacterial infection could easily kill you the age of antibiotics was ushered in

by alexander fleming who discovered penicillin back in the late 1920 s. and was later awarded the nobel prize for his work antibiotics at the scene for a paradigm shift in medicine they've saved countless lives but bacteria evolve and a few of them always survive the encounter with the medicine pathogens eventually acquire resistance 1st to one then to more and more antibiotics then they multiply and pass it on they can even share their resistance with other microbes some multi resistant super bugs are no impervious to practically the entire arsenal of antibiotics at our disposal and research on antibiotics hasn't advance nearly as much as in other fields of medical research big pharma is interest and then evaporated around 20 new major classes of antimicrobials were discovered between the 1940 s. and sixty's but over the last 60 years just 2 new classes of the drugs have been

approved. meanwhile the problem of multi resistance has grown increasingly acute experts estimate multi resistant pathogens killed around $700000.00 people worldwide last year but there's still no comprehensive global plan for dealing with on. one for more now i'm joined by dr tim monks from the robert institute here in berlin he heads a unit that researches antibiotic resistance bugger's good to have you on the show so why are we seeing this resistance is it because when we go to the doctor the doctor is just just too willing to prescribe us an antibiotic yet says one we several reasons and into it in different settings for somebody in high income countries is just this is one of the we. isn't high income countries too much describing of and to be addicts. to underbid it was distant

but if you have a global look this is different for example in poor countries in low income countries there is not so much too much use of antibiotics it's more wrong use and all the other things like no toilets and no good houses designated for the wrong use because we hear from the doctors that if we are prescribed an antibiotic we should take it all the way through to the end even if we're feeling better but a lot of people don't do that right so they're not really killing the bacteria completely is that what is happening yet says there are new research on this that sometimes say is perhaps it's not necessary to take so long for example years ago folks pneumonia we said 10 days then it was 7 days now we are in 5 days only 5 days in the monkeys it's enough so this is not so much a problem of course you have to take the undergo ticks as long as the doctors tell you and not stop it yourself we running out of the antibiotics no i think we are we

are away from the past under biotic times but but we have to be very much aware because resistance is rising in many countries and in many parts of the world and we have to use the antibiotics which we have in a wise way which is very important really take them only if the doctor is describing it and you have to know that it is often not necessary because most infections. by when you go to the doctor and if you have the global view you have we have to support other countries with the health system if you have a good whole health system you use it in a better way than to be and what about the drug makers of pharmaceutical companies are they doing enough to come up with new medications to replace these and biogs no i think that they are. i don't do enough there they have no interest because they can't sell much money was under biotics with as with tracks and but but we have to

understand that anyway a new track is are just to postpone the problem was under be adequate systems we have 2 new antibiotics only a what a small piece for the whole broad but i'm much more important i think at the moment is use these traps which we have in a better way in the animal side in the human side and all the others be good and faction control and new under biotics and in the moment economy lie on the document do you think that we can rely on people's to people to do that because you can't control the entire population and there are so many people is there another option is there is there something that goes beyond trying to use antibiotics to treat bacterial infections has nothing in view in the next 10 years their research is working on different things but not a reader we have nothing else we need we need under we audit for medicine how we do it today and absolutely necessary we need to be adi dr jim with the robert costa institute with the latest on you know bacteria in

a biopics in resistant starch and we thank you thank you. well the german race drivers of fear flourishes at the wheel again this weekend she returned to compete on the same street circuit where one year ago she crashed into the wall the 18 year old escaped with just a fractured vertebrae. sophia flourish at the start of the race at the fateful track in macau. she didn't make any mistakes in this year's race but just 6 laps from the end a technical problem forced her to withdraw. $2900.00 so unfortunately you know but it was really awesome how is such a special event and it was a bit unfortunate now with a technical defect that last year i didn't finish not this yet 2 times but like so

next year out it's very lucky this weekend she was once again face to face with the corner where her accident happened. fresh there so last year it was a little bit different. because of safety reasons they changed the track so there's like the fans the kind of fans as the building would question. those ones actually they could so it's maybe fly. that was 1st sliding on the ground and touching them on the right side and then because of those sausage curves in the corner i started flying it happened so fast no think it before it sort of video i didn't know that i was fighting for me it didn't feel that bad i meant the pain so the kicking in doctors repaired 2 broken cervical vertebrae in an 11 hour operation just one month after the accident flourish began to fight her way back to racing i couldn't imagine by for the just put so it's kind of. if i would be going back to my

call this year i would be happy pretty happy kids track just so super cool. pushover truck. this was an extraordinary dream come true for. me. but fight. and. fight change. flourish adequate easy feeling before qualifying as she drove her 1st laps in macau since the crash the mechanics held their breath as she drove into the fateful corner but this time it all went well. i could work out i did so. it was ok i didn't struggle. and sophia flourish has set herself the goal of making the headlines in the future only with victories on the race track. we'll see tomorrow everybody.
