activities were of such concern that they had to reimpose the sanctions that have been put on iran largely by congress during the previous administration. so the final set of sanctions being reimpose will take force on 4 november. this will be sanctions on ports, oil exports, financial transactions, and own insurance and some other areas. these are going to be very significant. the administration will be careful in how it allows these to come into force. probably doing some negotiating with china and india and perhaps some the other oil countries that import oil from iran do not to spike the oil prices and our friends from saudi arabia are going to increase their production to the maximum extent possible. that was also done by the way the last time we had sanctions on iran went i was the cia director and went to the saudis and asked him to do that. this is going to have a very serious effect and again, i think it will be a greater effect than was the case in the past where the sanctions were seen as a vehicle to get an agreement on the nuclear program, and here, they are seen as a vehicle to get iran

congress leaders of russia. iran calls for a new face to face meeting. out of the. nuclear security cold war. doesn't. seem uncommon contributing editor of the nation magazine professor emeritus as a christian university welcome to the show great to have you with us as usual it's been a while the things change so we've got a lot to talk about i mean last time trump and putin met in helsinki. there were such big hopes there really really big hopes. that something would come out of that relations will improve but not much really came out of the summit and got a lot of flack at home for a meeting they were russian leader i mean it's hard to expect a major breakthrough this time around in paris what do you think. well there's a big struggle everybody knows about it going on in washington over trump's policy toward russia. it would seem and this has been the case i think you and i talked back then when he was a candidate that he said he wanted to cooperate with russia we used to call that detente and that's been pretty much his policy overall policy since he became presi

iran directly related to its nuclear program came from george w. bush in two thousand and ten barack obama signed into law new sanctions he described as the toughest ever passed by congress a breakthrough was finally reached in twenty fifteen with the iran nuclear deal got earlier this year donald trump withdrew from that agreement leading to renewed u.s. sanctions well let's get more on this now are joined by hunted with savi professor of political science at the university of fed on and he's joining us live from the very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so as we've just gone through iran has of course weathered sanctions before nevertheless its economy has suffered just from the threat of sanctions this year so is it possible to say now just how detrimental these latest sanctions will be. well yes the sanctions have already had a very important effect i mean the reigning currency the rio has lost over seventy percent of the value in the past six months are nevertheless the past few days have had some good news for iran and that is that the united states had previously said that it was going to reduce your indian oil exports to zero by november fifth which is to m

of that particularly when the united states is pushing back or trying to push back on iran despite all this congress kimberly has been very critical of the statements made by the president and they want to take action or what action precisely yet. yeah there not this is not sitting well with members of congress we've got a couple of things that are happening the global magnitsky act triggered once again this time specifically requesting that the trumpet ministration look at the role of the saudi crown prince mohammed bin selman with respect to the killing of. this triggers again once a one hundred twenty days for the white house to get back to congress with some sort of report potentially compelling it to issue sanctions under that act we saw this happen back in october tenth with the letter that was issued to the white house and then the result was seventeen saudi individuals sanctioned by the treasury department but notably none of them were members of the royal family we also have two pieces of legislation that are moving through the senate could be taken up as early as next week that would attem

strategy affects thinking in congress on the issue of bringing more u.s. personal and iran. but more broadly. >> briefly on the terms of utilizing congress to achieve some of our goals. congress is very divided on the issue. both and how we want to address isis and how we address even on. it's not quite clear yet from the administration if they are willing to expand the use of military force. i think we have about 2200 troops. mostly in northern syria. that's in -- it's been perceived as one place where we can vot vote -- both address both. either ambassador jim jeffrey, has made it clear that we are going to expand the use of military force. they need neither one of them has rolled it out. in terms of the military, and how much congress may be willing to allow that to happen is still yet to be seen. no formal proposal has been given to contemplate. there are other pieces of legislation that are important to keep in mind. in order to meet our objective. yesterday, he signed into law sanctions against hippo laws that are meant to address individuals or entities, to sort of rea

whether it is saudi arabia or iran, what role will the new congress play in sanctions against iran and> for iran i was there for the time, we adopted those sanctions as a way to influence iranian behavior and stop their nuclear program without going to war. i think the deal with the obama administration along with our allies in europe was a bad deal for us. we gave too much and got too little in return. all of that changed as a result of president trump including the sanctions that were back on iran this week. i think they have got to affect iranian behavior. are going to we cut the purchase of iranian oil by about a million barrels a day. that is a real body blow to iran. i would say that particularly if the house goes democratic you will find the house trying to assert itself on foreign policy. the question is whether they can find common ground with the president. in washington you need three to tango, the house come of the senate and the white house. >> let's talk about financial regulation. you are senate from connecticut and there are a lot of financial in additions up there. --

congress also the u.s. says its latest sanctions against iran are the toughest so far but some of terrans leading business partners have been exempted. also turkish media reports suggest that saudi arabia sent a team to raise evidence after the killing of journalist about to show she inside its consulate in istanbul. and we visit a sixteenth century port but sudan is banking on for its economic future. welcome to the news donald trump has warned his supporters that the media is treating choose days election as a referendum on his presidency as both republicans and democrats hold last minute rallies on the eve of the vote republican party is trying to protect its majority in the house of representatives and the senate while democrats are hoping to win back control of at least the house to try and thwart trump's agenda over the final two years of his four year term when our correspondents are in two states with close senate races we'll speak to hide your castro who's in tucson arizona shortly but first let's join john hendren who's in fort wayne indiana where president is holding a campaign rally and really the pres

iran. of course, federal government would not pay the flight of librarian of congress for, on behalf of thenited states to go to iran. i am glad that mr. carnegie from heavens -- [laughter] said we'll take care of librarian of congress, because andrew carnegie was dedicated to international peace. jim, therefore, i mentioned has multiple tasks and has done all of them well. there are critics, actually. any major organization will have its critics. but one thing we should not forget, the mission of library of congress has been kept afloat to serve the nation and the world, to build bridges of understanding, to treat all cultures as important, not as minor, major. and then also to save those cultures. one of the last acts of jim billington was to help repatriate afghan memory to afghanistan. well, if you say that, what does it mean? the country has been destroyed. the library of congress has their heritage. so, jim -- and john who's here -- sent eight hard drives to eight afghan universities so to have their culture intact. a previous, in 1960s, '70s, previous librarian of congress also did s

congress. also the u.s. says its latest sanctions against iran are the toughest so far but some of tyrants leading business partners have been exempt. and turkish media is reporting that saudi arabia sent a team to raise evidence up to the killing of journalists. inside its consulate in istanbul. and armed men kidnapped dozens of children from a school in western cameroon. welcome to the news donald trump has warned his supporters that the media is treating choose days election as a referendum on his presidency as both republicans and democrats hold last minute rallies on the eve of the vote trump's republican party is trying to protect its majority in the house of representatives and the senate while democrats are hoping to win back control of at least the house to try and thwart trump's agenda for the final two years of his four year term rob reynolds has more from washington d.c. . president trump isn't on the ballot in this midterm election but with polls predicting the democratic party was when control of at least one house of congress could find himself in the center of political fallout once the votes are co

iran directly related to its nuclear program came from george w. bush in twenty ten were obama signed it to draw used actions he described as the toughest ever passed by congress they were aimed at uranium banks and its oil and gas sector a breakthrough was finally reached in twenty fifteen with the iran nuclear deal iranian assets worth hundred billion dollars one force and but earlier the c.e.o. donald trump withdrew from that agreement leading to renewed u.s. economic sanctions in two phases the first came in august and ninety days later november the second round of sanctions targeting iran's ukridge of oil exports an energy industry are coming into force well despite the u.s. withdrawal from the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal the e.u. russia and china are all.

congress. for a president that wants to maintain his alliance because what it means for us going against iran, at's the last thing that he wants to have happen with the u.s. congress. >> maybe. but words are one thing and actions are another. right? if you think about lindsey graham yesterday, going after -- calling mohammed bin salman irrational, unhinged, talking about -- saying i have no intent of working with him ever again. susan, are enough republicans in congress on the same page as lindsey graham that there are enou enough to act and speak up? >> i think there are enough republicans. a murder so brutal that the president said he was refusing to listen to the tape of it. >> good point. >> but whether republicans in congress will actually vote to tie his hands, that is a very big step to take against any president, especially a president of your own party. that's the reason why it's so important to listen to what the president said about this. he hadn't gotten the final report to say who is to blame. he has been certainly reluctant so far. >> so sorry, david, we're out of time but you'll

iran. makes a deal. uses statutory authority congress didn't provide him for this purpose to get the deal done. i mean, the same criticism -- isn't sort of what you describe with the problem with the leadership at the top, couldn't the argument be made that's a reflection of the way the american people, as les said, ultimately people who voted for president trump, whether it by -- whether you believe by enough margin or what, orelecto college. he was elected. you might question the process. so isn't part of that a reaction to what came before, and if that's the case, then don't the american people have a right to be concerned and maybe they're okay with the post-truth world because that's what they saw coming at them for decades, a better part of a decade, under president bush and president obama? >> no. >> i knew that was the answer. i knew that was going to be the answer. >> i think -- so, i would -- and farah was getting to it a little bit on sort of the typology of truth. and let me just pause wiosit so here, which is way too simplistic but for my simplistic mind works. there's objective tr

and out of the ir iran deal anda new nafta agreement, what was house and congress contribution to that? senate helps to supreme court justice, and on tax cut. but the other big things, biggest promises we made in 2016, we have not got those done, we have to the same energy and passion about getting those done. >> chip roy, let me ask you this, securing the border. controlling spending. repealing government control over healthcare. do you get a sense that republican party in house of representatives will push that agenda even in face of radicals who are taking over the various committees, is it an obligations of republican party to press their case over and over. i get a sense that everyone is out for themselves, a bunch of square els not herded -- squirrels that are not being herded. >> i said something, i am not running for congress to run to get reelection, too often the case, too many in washington both sides aisle, they get here, they start thinking about moving leavers to get reelected. that is not why you are here, you are here greatness in country is held back by government that

iran of meddling in the. critical elections coming up in november and control of congress at stake twenty eight eighteen this year's midterm election this year's midterm elections as the twenty eight midterm election season begins to heat up there are new concerns about the security of america's election system i mean how secure are we there's been some finger pointing at both iran and china and russia. now to a developing story we have a great news to tell you about it got us here in russia so i guess the simple question is is russia still targeting the united states no question the russians will meddle in this year's midterm elections russia is at it again at it again russia is up there with old tricks. i mean i can speak seem to be either willfully or blissfully ignorant of what's going on. why won't the president say that they are doing this why you see such a rush he hasn't even tweeted a single piece on russia's goal is real simple a message to the road trust to create a vision of social and political content carry out cyber attacks two of them or the other nefarious that you were in the middle of info

congress the people of. donald trump says he has chosen oil markets stability over inflicting maximum damage on iran the pressures on a rainy and oil.

and gone to iran and proclaimed death to farsi and win in congress and yet in the cultural sphere, there a small number of things that can be talked about things freely and openly. things like gender and i think that is problematic. >> that is it for our program. thanks for watching "amanpour & co." on pbs. and join us again tomorrow night. uniworld is a proud sponsor of "amanpour & co." when bee tollman founded a collection of boutique hotels, she had bigger dreams, and those dreams were on the water -- a river, specifically -- multiple rivers that would one day be home to uniworld river cruises and their floating boutique hotels. today that dream sets sail in europe, asia, india, egypt, and more. bookings available through your travel agent. for more information, visit uniworld.com. >> additional support has been provided by rosalind p. walter. bernard and irene schwartz. sue and edgar wachenheim iii. the cheryl and philip milstein family, and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. business report, with bill griffeth and sue herera. >>> oil slick. prices

rumored plan for a middle east peace settlement and of course for us moves against iran so he does seem at odds with congress somewhat over this is there or is there a kind of bridge in between it all. well it's very difficult to see i think that it's not only being at odds with congress one must mention as well this is a bipartisan move in congress to establish accountability even if it involves the crown prince as well president trump is also at odds with his intelligence agencies now this is nothing new he repudiation his intelligence agencies reports for example on the question of russian collusion in the u.s. election he heard from his agencies that yes there was russian can collusion however he dismissed that out of hand he appears to be dismissing the intelligence agencies conclusion in this particular case in the case numerous reports indicated that the cia had reached a conclusion that yes the crown prince was involved in and responsible for the death of jamal khashoggi but president trump appears to be waving this away only twenty four hours ago he told an interviewer that he's still not sure wheth

congress at all. president trump did that with iran. president trump did that with the feel tariffs.u call it an agreement, you have to get the house and senate involved. but if you call it just a deal or tariff based on national security, you can get it done. so i'm telling you president trump may do it on his own without nancy or chuck. >> without nancy and cluck egging him on. they want to be more protectionist, and that's not good for the markets. david: a west coast exodus? amazon is not the only tech company looking to expand. why new york taxes and the crazy rents are not deal breakers. fol. fisher investments tailors portfolios to your goals and needs. some only call when they have something to sell. fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. and while some advisors are happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. when you're looking for answers, it's good to have help. b

doesn't tell the american people about the fact that he's negotiating with iran, makes a deal, uses statutory authority the congress didn't provide him for this purpose to get the deal done. i mean the same criticism -- is -- is -- isn't what you describe as the problem with the leadership at the top, couldn't it be made -- couldn't the argument be made that that is a reflection of the way the american people, as les said, people that voted for president trump, whether -- whether you believe by enough margin or what, popular vote versus the electoral college -- but he's elected -- i don't think there's a process of whether he was' elected by the process. isn't that a reaction to what came before and if that's the case, don't the american people have a right to be concerned and maybe they're okay with the post-truth world? i knew that was going to be the answer. >> i would -- farah was getting to this a little bit on sort of the type of truth. let me just pause at something here, which is way too sim police it, but i think for my simplistic mind works. there is like an objective truth like climate change. you can de

iran. as the u.s. midterm elections leave the country in political stalemate with congress divided between republicans and democrats the white house continues to pursue its divisive foreign policy alone which is making america's european allies uneasy from the president who to achieve his global goals with the democrats in the else will be alone to his own treaties put in place by his previous as was enjoy the trump treatment and. will the u.s. move forward in tomorrow's world. two decades cia and veteran rolf moore what larson welcome to the program it's always great to have you with us it's been a year things have changed lots to discuss now world leaders recently gathered in paris to mark the centenary anniversary of the end of world war one in his speech at the ceremony french president in my own back home delivered to fierce criticism of trump's nationalism and the america comes first approach is this the beginning of a real rift between here upon the us this escalating rhetoric i don't i don't think so for that at the beginning of a rift i think that would overstate the problem i do think that o

iran's involvement? is an important one and the president makes an important point here. the congress will play a big role. both a step in and stop the arms sale to saudi arabia is counting on, the billions of dollars of arms sales coming down the pike looking like a real possibility. >> you think they would do that under democratic congress? >> in the senate are talking about doing that. several votes taken in the past and they've been close. that was before khashoggi's murder. now the question is how will public in the new congress. this is getting very interesting now. the key here will be what happens this week with this report. what specifically are we going to hear. sounds like you'll implicate the crown prince and the president will have to accept the reality now and we don't have a final outcome yet. what will he do? congress will watch to see what the president does and if they feel like it's not strong enough and just sticking with sanctions for nothing more, then you'll see movement here first on the yemen issue and then on the arms sales. coming down the pike and it's prob

geopolitically there a lot of talk here the foreign secretary in iran trying to secure the release of a joule national saudi arabia concerning congress over the killing where do you feel as in terms of british policy as regards these two books well good foreign policy is about finding out and finding a strong case to promote it and in the situation that you've got in saudi arabia and iran we need to me. the you know. human rights are properly respected you know i think that's a colon. well that's certainly an issue that has to be considered because one of the questions we've got to ask is what are the almost being used we should be using our skills and soft power as well as sort of a reputation as a country which is always promoted liberal democracy and everything else the best possible advantage thank you thank you and that's of the show join us on saturday when we question a drone operator about u.s. u.k. military collaboration backing saudi arabia and yemen after this week's the shoji assassination tape until then people judged by social media will be back with a thirty nine years to the day washington admitted u.s. soldiers are b
