The story of one boy who was lucky just survived after his house was hit by an airstrike. It only took a couple of clicks on the keyboard to change. Its of the blood and we are poor. And we go deep inside the wilds of deep fake videos and look at the implications of politicians and elections. Now u. S. President donald trump has imposed what hes calling holiday hitting new sanctions on irans leadership the measures go all the way up to the Supreme Leader ayatollah ali commenting tehran says the move means that washington is closing the channel of diplomacy forever mike hanna reports from washington. As promised another round of sanctions against iran these in addition to a number already put in place and directed at the countrys most Senior LeadersPresident Trump did not elaborate on the precise nature of the sanctions apart from saying that they would bar the leaders from access to Financial Instruments i want to thank our military i want to thank all of the people that have been working with me over the last number of months on this theres a lot of restraint has been shown by us a lot of restraint. And that doesnt mean were going to show in the future no complete details provided by the treasury secretary either but speedman did confirm that some of the sanctions are a direct response to last weeks attack on a u. S. Drone iran contended the drone had penetrated its space an accusation denied by the u. S. Im not going to identify which ones or which ive said that some of this was in the works some of this is a result of recent activities deep concern once again expressed by the u. N. Secretary general he has urged all sides to show nerves of steel and he is continuing to maintain that and he wants to make sure that they. Take steps to avoid any further sorts of of provocation one way or the other the u. S. Is ramping up its diplomatic actions against iran the secretary of state shuttling through several gulf states including saudi arabia to shore up a wide anti Iran Alliance but at the same time a carrot of sorts being extended with the stick the white house releasing a statement saying the president has been clear that hes open to the possibility of future talks with iran mike hanna aljazeera Washington Well even though the u. S. Says its open to talks irans ambassador to the u. N. Says tehran will not accept talks with washington while its under sanctions. Dialogue has certain rules and certain regulations you cannot start a dialogue with somebody who is threatening you who is intimidating you to do it you just witness that the United States impose another set of set of sanctions against iran how can you have started dialogue with somebody whose primary preoccupation. Is to put more sanctions on iran saw that the atmosphere of such a dialogue does is not ready yet and all this while the u. S. Is planning more sanctions in the coming days irans foreign minister is expected to be among those black listed dosage of ari has the reaction from tehran. The announcement out by the end of this week could be reined in foreign minister Mohammad Javad zarif will be sanctioned by the Us Government comes as a surprise here in iran this person mom which of us are reef is a career diplomat who has lived in the United States he was at the United Nations for many many years and he is known as the face of these amika public on the International Stage that shovelled all around the world and met with many many diplomats he is very well known on that level every so this decision is very much a surprise many analysts say here this is one of the most surprising decisions by the trumpet ministration in the meantime the decision to sanction the iranian Supreme Leader will likely not have much effect the Ayatollah Khomeini has not left iran in over 30 years since he was president in 1909 the last time he left around was on a state visit to china in april of 1989 the commanders that have been sanctioned as well will not really be much affected by this decision many here believe this announcement shows how desperate the United States is in trying to get iran to the negotiating table but many believe this is actually going to have the opposite effect and create further divisions and tensions between the United States and iran. Blunk was a Senior State Department official under president obama who oversaw the implementation of the Iran Nuclear Deal and he says that while the new sanctions will be largely symbolic the underlying message could escalate the situation even fathom. Well i think that the sanctions on the Supreme Leader does office are almost certainly to be to be read in iran as confirmation that this administration is pursuing a regime change policy even if President Trump denies that and even if other officials dont use that phrase what is targeting the leadership of the regime of the regime. So thats clearly negative symbolism as regards foreign minister zarif you know 1st of all hes the regimes negotiator so if youre saying we want to talk sanctioning the lead negotiator probably sends a strange message more than that i find it very unlikely that even our closest allies and partners are going to follow through with us of jobs reforms to go to paris to talk to alex to our allies hell be able to rent a hotel room hell be able to get cash to pay for his dinner is however the case may be it will really show the extent of u. S. Isolation the individuals and institutions that have been designated for sanctions are almost certainly fully insulated from the International Financial system already so i dont see this as having any particular way to crimp their style this is rather a symbolic step and the the problem with out is not that its about like and of itself its good to send messages the problem is that the messages that the administration is sending are more likely to lead to escalation than to deescalation now the u. S. Will reveal details of its mideast peace plan has a meeting in bahrain later on tuesday that protests have taken place across the palestinian territory as anger grows against what President Donald Trump has called the deal of the century protesters in the occupied west bank bend images of the king of bahrain and one angry gaza residents dressed as former p. L. O. Leader Yasser Arafat brandished a gun at several burning images of u. S. President donald trump of the Palestinian Group hamas which governs gaza described the meeting in bahrain as a conspiracy. We declare our rejection of the deal of the century and the bahrain conference we pledged to work to abort this conspiracy we emphasize the arab nature of jerusalem and palestine and the right to refugees to return to the land from which they were driven out of. Now white house Senior AdviserJared Christian is leading the today workshop and before flying to bahrain he spoke out there and said this new initiative should bring the palestinians and the region an opportunity for stability. Right now from unama were focused on the economic aspects of what could be possible if there is a resolution but what i will say is that you know all of the people i speak to you know they talk about the Arab Peace Initiative and again it was a it was a great effort but if that was where a deal was going to be made a deal would be made a long time ago i think we all have to recognize that if there ever is a deal its not going to be along the lines of the Arab Peace Initiative will be somewhere between the Arab Peace Initiative and somewhere between the israeli position and we need to think about what are the fundamental things that are underlying an important number one is security right i think the israeli population and the palestinian population and the broader middle east right now cares a lot about have security the more you have security the more you could have for your flow of goods for flow of people i know thats a very big issue for the palestinians they want to be able to move through the borders i think the cost of goods are too high because it takes a long time to get through the borders but theres a direct correlation between the ramping up of terror and the threat to israel and the slowing down of the borders and so you know if we can create an environment where theres actual peace and again peace comes from compromise and well figure out what the right elements of that are at the right time then that is the necessary precondition to be able to implement a lot of the Economic Reforms that were going to talk about at this conference now earlier we spoke to Jeremy Pressman who is the director of middle east studies at the university of connecticut and he says the plan doesnt take the palestinian interests into account. I think from the administrations perspective their officials who deal with the israel palestine issue dont really believe in the notion of an independent palestine as a as part of a 2 state solution they dont believe in equal rights for the palestinians they dont believe that theres an occupation going on so if those are your beliefs it kind of limits the kind of proposals that you can put forward and so i i understand for the ministration that has those beliefs why go on an economic route might be appealing theres one thing that you know people have been focused on which is important to note that the administer the u. S. Administration doesnt understand in the language of the report that palestinians dream of a Better Future so at least on some very deep fundamental level they understand that the problem is you know you can throw around ideas like gaza should be the next dubai or singapore gaza doesnt even have an airport so without dealing with kind of the basics its very hard to move forward and economics now if we think about why gaza didnt have an airport ultimately thats a political question but thats something the palestinians and the egyptian the israelis have to figure out its not something that you can just say well investors like the idea and therefore to come to fruition conventional wisdom is there without some kind of progress on the political front investors will not step forward whether their investors from inside the arab world or outside the arab world im willing to be open about that if if in the next few days the Top Administration can produce investors who say im willing to poor millions or billions of dollars into the west bank and gaza i think id be great i dont think people expect that.
