u.s. sanctions. why don't the bottom line is very clear no it cannot we've had a year of essentially an experimental phase for bo who are nervous on to see if u.s. sanctions you know actually are able to have the same impact as essentially united nations sanctions and all embargoes had on iran back before this deal was agreed and what we've seen over the prost year is that actually u.s. sanctions being what have proven to be far more balanced and effective and i think many people have imagined and so if you're sitting in teheran understanding this reality there is very little to essentially keep you it's hearing to this deal when you understand that will counterplots remaining to the movement which are the europeans the chinese and the russians on either incapable are willing to provide iran with any meaningful sense of economic package now having said that there are some sites that that all of the remaining posses critelli a chip ensure that this deal doesn't collapse school together and that there'

then other sanctions that led to stages before the u.s. pulled out of the deal iran was exporting up to 2800000 barrels of oil a day as one of the largest producers in the world it wants back into the international oil market for now the spokesman of iran's atomic energy agency says it will not renew work at nuclear facilities that was halted as part of the j.c.b. away but iran's deputy foreign minister had a warning iran can do so whenever it wants and if in the coming 60 days their demands are not met that's exactly what iran might do next. year as president donald trump has warned iran though about breaching the limits of enriched uranium thank you thank you very rightly. thank. middle difficult to hear the president there but the gist of what he was saying was that iran better be careful. with more from washington. amid doldrums warning to iran to be cow for trump did also say something rather interesting he said he was suggesting look all he was doing was expediting a process that would have had to happen anyway because of the very su

u.s. sanctions u.s. president donald trump has increased sanctions on iran since he withdrew from the nuclear deal one year ago or today's move by tehran puts europe and an almost impossible situation of trying to define the policies of its main ally the u.s. can europe create a financial infrastructure to bypass the superpower of the u.s. dollar in order to keep iran's economy and the nuclear deal alive well so far that answer is no iran seems to think that the answer could be not yet hala todd on not on a little while the europeans have failed to fulfill their promises of protecting iran's interests under the deal who to charge it. at don't want to actions by the europeans have not been enough so he islamic republic will move ahead with its plans as previously announced earlier in the process of our 1st phase of action on increasing our stockpile of enriched uranium as well as our heavy water reserves you know many of the. that was iran's foreign minister earlier today i want to talk now with brussels c

u.s. sanctions. look the reality is at least from the iranian perspective this is a distinction without difference meaning that 40 iranians it really doesn't matter if the tanker was seized because of. syria sanctions they actually see it as facilitating u.s. sanctions on iranian oil which has driven down iran or the exports from $3000000.00 bottles a day about a year ago to around 110th of that which is 300000 barrels today and they run eons expected the remaining parties through the 2015 nuclear deal which includes britain to actually help iran survive u.s. sanctions and not to facilitate them and then forcing them by seizing this tankers and this is definitely going to add to tensions between iran and europe. the iranian president rouhani has warned that iran will increase your aenima richmond levels and restore the country's heavy water reactor by this coming sunday july the 7th do you think that it will follow through on that promise that threat. it looks increasingly likely that it will follow t

and finally if a program of sanctions relief is to go forward the u.s. and like-minded countries should continue to implement and enforce the sanction nas remain in place. but they should be clear in communicating intentions about sanctions enforcement and shouldn't expand the scope of the sanctions regime while negotiations -- meaningful negotiations are under way. so with working level negotiations set to restrooumsume after the imprompt eye ewe visit to the dms i think north korea may be willing to give more and accept less in sanctions relief in return. but at a minimum i think that having a high but reasonable standard for phased sanctions relief would be a good diplomatic tactic, leaving less room for pyongyang to pin the blame on washington if talks collapse. and if on the other hand north korea is actually ready for serious negotiations that leads to a tangible roll back of the nuclear program, i think the u.s. should be ready's well. so thanks. >> thank you, dan. i appreciate you proposing affirmative the five principles. i hope we can talk about

u.s. sanctions many turn to digital currency such as bitcoin to make money. and money cajones welcome to do business and we're starting with news from south korea which has just cut its key interest rate for the 1st time in 3 years the governor of the bank of korea said he lowered to the key interest rate by a quarter percentage point to 1.50 the decision came amid a brewing trade conflict with japan over its colonial past on the korean peninsula tokyo has put curbs on certain materials that south korean high tech companies need to produce smartphones and t.v. sets. and it's also far from plain sailing in japan figures just out show export struck 6.8 percent in june analyst attribute of the poor figures to disrupt disruption caused by global trade conflicts a slowdown in china's growth and low business confidence the latest sluggish export figures have prompted speculation that the bank of japan could be preparing to introduce new stimulus measures at the end of the month. and it's certainly not just japan and south korea that are dealing with economic turbul

u.s. sanctions as. as a violation of it of its own commitment within the deal so it's basically it's not working against the e.u. it's basically doing what the e.u. and the united states is doing that they basically got back from their commitments they got back to the 1st square where the negotiations started and led to the j.c. a and iran basically is i think is heading back as well to the 1st where to be equal i mean to deal with them on equal footing and i think that's that's a choice that has been made into iran iranians cannot basically the authorities here the ruling elites cannot you know afford to basically woo back and kneel be behind before us maximum pressure they have to create a leverage as to go to and if they are to go to another round of discussions or negotiations provided that there will be a willing mess on the other. partly but i think what's important for iran now is the economics of the u.s. sanctions and they are not doing basically it's part of the deal and is right. rationally s

u.s. sanctions regime. the one security council resolutions are premised on north korea's abandonment of its nuclear ballistic missile and .ther wmd programs the u.s. asians specifically through the north korean sanctions and policy enhancement act of 2016 -- my co-, mr. stinson, had a significant role in drafting. only northt of not korea's wmd activities, but it's human rights abuses, currency counterfeiting, cyber attacks, etc. for the u.n. sanctions to be lifted, according to the various resolutions, the security council is prepared to strengthen, modify, extend or lift the measures as needed, in light of dprk compliance. that is to say that the security council, if there is political consensus for doing so -- and that is a big if -- can adjust the sanctions regime in accordance with north korean behavior. for u.s. sanctions to be modified, the executive branch has some leeway in how it administers sanctions, waving waivings on a -- sanctions on a case-by-case basis. for sections to be blocked, the whit

u.s. sanctions the u.s. has expressed its concern though over the move well professor of political economy from st mary's college jack told us that this initiative might go further if the u.s. continues its sanctions policy. well it's only at the very beginning and we're talking only about 2 countries they're fairly large countries it could be a significant amount of the trade in non-dollar currencies or in crime you know are still the global currency but i think it will be a fight with the brics whether the us won't stand by and do nothing if the brics are joined in the china russia payment system they won't be using to do it the u.s. is not going to stand by and let this the centerpiece of its global economic empire . slip from its fingers it will take counter actions overtly and covertly here to discourage it you know the use of sanctions is a short term weapon and game here for the united states in trouble loves it but you know long term it may come back and bite the u.s. if it pushes too hard i think an

u.s. sanctions proved much harsher on the economy. china buys with the european union for the massive investments in a new candidate state montenegro is competition good in this case. a good leader. those lucky enough to have access to dollars or euros are best off into iran's ground the anger is palpable. if the situation remains like this we'll have to leave iran we're trying very hard to get out of a 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 are 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 tehran. out of the many companies which set out to rekindle their old busin

u.s. sanctions. and u.s. vice president mike pence has also talked about the developments. iran should not confuse american restraint with a lack of american results. we hope for the best that the united states of america and our military are prepared to protect our interests and protect our personnel and our citizens in the region we will continue to oppose a rands malign influence we will continue to bring pressure on their economy and under president donald trump america will never allow iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. vice president pence there speaking a short time ago let's get some analysis for you now i'm joined by our washington correspondent helena humphrey who is tracking the story very closely for you good to see you helena we just heard from u.s. vice president pence he says iran should not confuse american restraint with a lack of american resolve but that begs the question i mean just a couple of weeks ago president trump cancelled a strike on iran at the very last minute i wondering 3 is there a split within the white house when it comes to how to deal with

u.s. sanctions but a recent crackdown on the machines used to mine the crypto currency has exposed a legal gray area. legal or illegal either way bitcoin mining machines are becoming an ever more familiar sites in iran in some cases like here in the market the province in the northwest entire batches are being seized by the police elsewhere though there's little sign of a crackdown. as the country grapples with renewed economic turmoil people are turning to mining the digital currency in the hope of generating an income in a currency they consider less volatile than their own but the practice has exposed a legal gray area. for the country has clearly turned into a heaven for bitcoin miners. the business of mining isn't for bitten by the law but the government and central bank have ordered the customs bureau to ban the imports of mining machines until new regulations are introduced. and it's not only the hope of avoiding the worst effects of recency imposed u.s. sanctions that's making bitcoin attractive in iran mining the digital currency requires huge quantities of electricity which the g

threat of sanctions was enough to destabilize the turkish economy now if the. u.s. schools have had with the cuts a sanction. that is likely to have an impact on the turkish economy by raising turkey's risk perception is sold that it's really the main economy impact but. the and that this will have also implications for thirty's defense in the streets it's going to make it more difficult for turkish companies to pull trade with the with their u.s. counterparts and 30 this will also have an impact on the f. $35.00 program whereby the u.s. has clearly stated that if the s. $400.00 come to turkey the u.s. will stop the delivery of the f. $35.00 aircraft churchy but also exclude british defense companies from of the production line of of the f. 35 so there are many different aspects of or many of these full tracks of possible impact if need be if the u.s. goes ahead with the cuts of sanctions against russia and if we look at the domestic political situation in turkey right now president of one's party recently lost the istanbul election the merrow election there what's

u.s. sanctions like in states for example that's for trade with the european union but they don't work so far and frankly it's really hard to make them work without washington because washington is so important for the international trade also for the international financial system with the dollar so it's really hard for the europeans to do something without. washington and especially if washington at sanctions like every couple of months that makes it harder but despite the sanctions despite the warships washington says it does want to reopen negotiations with iran is that likely to. well the supreme leader just says that he says washington can't be trusted and only understands force but people closer to president rouhani sky. don't rule them out entirely the thing is donald trump says negotiations would be possible without preconditions and that's something the iranians don't agree to because they say washington would 1st have to return to the existing agreement and from there negotiations could start serious a trucker thank you for that. the fear of unexploded munitions has hampered ef

u.s. sanctions and the announcement could spark punitive measures from europe to the economy is increasingly feeling the heat. they sent the lad he is 40 years old his business is exporting ceramic tiles he tells how a recent shipment of expensive wall tiles was headed towards iraq when he received a phone call his shipment was stuck at the border the truck driver was on strike days that was outraged his customers in iraq had already paid for the tiles and sold them on to the next customer. that means i wasn't able to honor my contract it's bad for business and in all likelihood our cooperation with iraq will dry up and this isn't the 1st time that something like this has happened here. in the sprawling metropolis of tab race is a major economic and commercial center in west iran before base that entered the tile market he sold imported turkish mineral water but because of u.s. sanctions the iranian economy collapsed turkish water became too expensive to import he went out of business even as food prices at the markets were on the rise . you can really chill my wife and i both work and we on

u.s. sanctions is it feasible for the iranians to demand that from europe. well if we think that the europeans played such a key role in getting that deal off the ground getting the nuclear deal into a comprehensive plan of action off the ground european states were integrity in making this happen they were the ones responsible for this diplomatic effort to actually bring iran and the u.s. to the table and getting the deal over the line so i think it's not particularly surprising that iran is trying to put this pressure back on europe and whether europe can pull it off remains to be seen i'm not entirely convinced i'm not entirely confident that that is able to do this to able to exert pressure on the united states or indeed to get russia and china 2 of the other key states in all of this to play ball with with iran using this this new financial mechanism that there is far too many variables but europe certainly has an important role to play although i doubt that it's going to be able to do everything that teheran wants it to do. so i mean maybe in the middl

u.s. sanctions the deal does have a dispute resolution mechanism france says that will not be a trigger atleast for now but the dispute cannot if it cannot be resolved as un sanctions could follow reaction from washington in a moment for as a measure avi has more from tehran is the boldest step iran has taken so far in its choreographed campaign to reduce compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal on sunday morning it announced it would start enriching uranium to higher levels than allowed under the joint comprehensive plan of action. in a few hours the technical process will come to an end on enrichment above 3.67 percent will begin tomorrow when the i take the sample the level will be higher. iranian leaders warned for months if the international community did not help their country reap the benefits guaranteed in the way it will no longer honor its commitments the level of enrichment is unclear but senior leaders have suggested it could be as high as 5 even 20 percent still far from the 90 percent needed for weapons grade uranium there has been a flurry of diplomatic activity in recent weeks

u.s. sanctions unilateral u.s. sanctions that will put pressure on that strait of hormuz while many will be seeing the events of the last 24 hours as that threat playing out iranian officials continue to deny that anything like that happened all right says i must thank you. well governments and media organizations are proposing the creation of a global fund to support journalists in danger zones the projects were made at the global media freedom conference being held in london this week canada and the u.k. are co-hosting the event and hope other countries will contribute to the funds 99 media workers were killed in 2018 charlie on has more from iran that. at the close of this summit on media freedom we've seen some concrete promises emerge one the creation of a global media defense fund that will support journalists in their legal battles and also give them training in personal safety in the promise of a formation of coalition of governments that can put diplomatic pressure on countries that try to suppress media fr
