ambassador to washington the us has also promised to introduce new unilateral sanctions against the country's oil industry took a massive pressure on these like republicans intensifying with reports he's really is considering a military strike and doctors say one hundred eighteen randeep from tehran university sanctions do not have any effect on iraq betty spodes u.s. weakness i think. they've been imposed sanctions. on the running an oil ministry for years now and b. iranians continue to develop oil and gas fields they continue to develop a petro chemical petrochemical industry i don't think there's going to be any change whatsoever basically what it is doing it is it is that it is showing the american hand and how the americans are really i mean able to do anything you run so in general the iranians feel that the americans are there their strength is weakening and we even see that be that are in the statement issued by.
8:12 pm
a board if it did not contain any of the major elements that the americans were seeking so it does seem that there is a relative decline in american fortunes and american power power both the political level as well as. economic its ability to acquire economic pressure. and no sense. from london so some states are in cooperation with iran so it will be further isolated. americans and the western powers are trying to pull around in the corner this has nothing to do with the plot against the saudi ambassador all on the nuclear program this has to do with political seeing in the region because iran has been really rejecting all these policies in that israel for record buying iraq the position of the american of course encouraging some groups
8:13 pm
in syria iran actually has been showing its nuclear program is a separate program while they are forgetting is there any program very have two hundred nuclear warheads and of course the americans will try to cover up such a problem in the middle east if they want to really succeed they have to search all good region for the nuclear reactions or whether in iran or in. their fears in the u.s. and attending to spain now as it's pouring constant pressure and learning levels these fourth largest economy is preparing itself for service and mention elections he's really kind of course not the candidates are offering an answer to the raging unemployment and financial strife. there are two main parties contending for the elections at the moment the socialist parties which is which has been at helm in spain right now and the popular people's party however over the past couple days
8:14 pm
that we have been observing a socially here in madrid who does not look like any party will actually win with a majority vote people seem to have become disillusioned with any of the choices they own their political table as a matter of fact the socialists have been in power for the last several years and they have been the people who are essentially being blamed for not noticing the economic downturn for not reacting to the crisis properly and plunging spain into a tour of oil now just to remind you the country has one of the highest employment rates in the in europe it's more than twenty four percent it has the highest unemployment rate among the young people according to one of the standard spanish research companies in september alone the four thousand people have been losing their jobs in spain every single day more than a positive million people in the country do not have a wage provider for their homes and unfortunately for spain a lot of people believe the situation will get worse before it will get better.
