against time. >> first to gaza, where six cars have been blown up sametains will you. two were wounded. the vehicles are believed to belong to senior officials. the obvious first question, do we know who's behind this? >> no, we've had to claim of responsibility. the one thing we've heard from officials from a spokesperson gaza ministry of interior said no one was arrested. he accused vandals of doing that. it's not the first time, groups affiliated with islamic state of iraq and the levant claimed that. at the moment, it's very unclear, complicated also. this is the biggest coordinated attack and also the first time that islamic jihad leaders cars have been targeted. this is a huge security challenge for hamas. security is also something that they hear of said that they can control and this very concerning for them. at the moment, an investigation is on going not very clear who was behind it. >> to what extent is the rise of new groups challenging the security situation and the control of hamas on gaza? >> it is a concern. it's been a concern here for a couple of years. there's also been groups here who don't agree with hamas's more reckon as i will i can't tear tone with israel when you see rockets out of gaza. israel holds hamas responsible for anything that happens here. when israel retaliates, it's always targeted at hamas. this is the biggest we've seen here and is three fold. politically there's a challenge they have to see what is happening to hamas and islamic jihad. no death it could have been bigger, but it is a very strong message. then it comes to

they want whenever they want. >> the senior representative of hamas in bay reality says while size as i will has threatened to topple hamas it's too early to jump to conclusions. >> they don't have any real support in gaza. isil is very, very strike situation and--they will go against anyone fighting the occupying. it is against the whole region. they don't have a real situation in gaza. we don't want to jump to the conclusions. we have to give our people time to investigate what has happened exactly, and then we can talk about it. i can't say that they have a strong influence in gaza and we were dealing with situations on different occasions like a few years ago. we will not allow any disturbance for the security of the palestinian people and i believe it is responsibility for hamas, it is the responsibility of the ministry of the interior, security forces, i believe they have to do their work and we will support their work according to the law. >> it's five months since

secretary ash carter is going to israel. he's the latest u.s. official to head there as part of a charm offensive. saudi arabia is on the list. on friday, iran's supreme leader made his first comments. he said it will not change tehran's relationship with the u.s. or the middle east. business with tehran may be about to pick up. germany is sending a trade delegation and spain has a similar trip planned. we are joined frow from vienna by an advisor from a consulting firm for companies pitching business in the middle east. there's talk about business picking up with iran, but iran's banking sector has been badly cripple would by the sanctions. how long will it be before the banking sector is able to deal with business picking up? >> iran itself has a function in banking sector, but obviously the sanctions of the past few years have sort of created a disconnect between the iranian banking system and especially the western banking system. we have to wait for the lifting of sanctions but once lifted, my assumption, the second and third tear banks western and european banks will engage very quickly, but the first tier banks will have to go through a number of practices especially the corrupt being checked. do you think foreign companies will be interested in simply selling goods rather than long term sort of investments and long term projects and commitments, given that sanctions are supposed to be able to be snapped back into place at any given time. >> well, first of all i think the interest in the iranian market is huge, this is, you just mentioned you can see that at the fact that western european delegations are in a haste to visit iran and to rein gauge and reconnect their business partners there but essentially, the threat of sanctions is something that especially the european union will have to manage with their companies. a lot of these companies that are returning to the iranian market are doing so in coordination with their actual governments. now, the instinct of companies is obviously trying to sell and trying to generate revenue but the fact is that in these past years, especially in the past decade, iran has obviously created a lot of local capacity, and iranian industry is not going to accept, you know, mass imports into the markets, so those companies who are prepared to enter into a type of partnership joint venture with the iranian companies are eager than those who simply want to export to iran because they are afraid of sanctions kicking back. iran needs long term engagement rather than a short term engagement. >> will the country be able to secure foreign business interest in vital sectors like the oil industry, the aviation sector, where is the foreign focus likely to settle? >> well, oil and gas generally is obviously the most attractive sector because of the vast oil and gas resource that is iran has, but you just mentioned aviation. there are other sectors automotive sector, generally industrial sector. i think iran is definitely a lucrative market. it's a market that has a lot of potential and a lot of capacity, but companies have to understand that it is an economy that is looking for upgrading and modernization. it's looking for new modern, efficient ways of utilizing its potential, and if companies are prepared to engage in that kind of a relationship with iranian partners then it's definitely iran as a market is definitely attractive enough for them. >> all right. thanks so much for your thoughts on that. >> let's get more now on the diplomacy. as we mentioned earlier the u.s. defense secretary is heading to israel, saudi arabia and jordan to sell the deal. tom ackermann looks at why his message of reassurance may be hard to accept. >> saudi deputy crown prince getting a tour of the u.s. aircraft carrier roosevelt patrolling off iran in the gulf. his visit was before the deal with iran, another effort to reassure the saudi's that their seven decades reliance with washington remains steadfast. ash carter stand in reap idea and attempted to reinforce that message. the saudis have reached he more than $90 billion in weapons deal with the u.s., sales that include war planes, armored vehicles missiles and bombs. some of that hardware has been deployed by the saudi's along with its gulf cooperation council partners in their involvement in yemen's war and the u.s. is providing the saudi's with intelligence and logistics in the fight against the houthi rebels, whom the saudis reward at ires rockies. >> we are supporting their operations in yemen in the way i described earlier. the objective there is to restore a political process there in which a legitimate government can be established. >> that cooperation hasn't quieted saudi anxiety over what they call iran's mischief across the region. in particular, tehran's military lifelines to bashar al assad. >> this comes back to iranian saudis strategic rivalry and the idea that the u.s. isn't pushing back hard enough on iranian influence in the gulf, in the levant elsewhere. >> as for squeal developing weapons jointly with the pentagon carter will follow up his boss's message to netanyahu last week. >> i propose fog further than any administration before in terms of providing them additional security assurances from the united states. >> assurances whose specifics for now remain unspoken, but not as yet enough to keep netanyahu from giving up his appeal to the u.s. congress to reject the deal. tom ackermann, al jazeera washington. >> the family of the suspected gunman who

hero because he was captured. i like people who weren't captured. >> do you hear that? he's a war hero because he was captured. >> trump was attacking mccain because he lost the 2008 election to

years of government controls on the flow of money. >> the government has been incredibly obtuse in economic matters. no economy can benefit from staunch controls. historically, they have only served to pervert trade. >> facing all the issues it does including a chronic shortage of paper to print books, the relative success is all that more surprising. >> to invest is venezuela is risky mainly because of these negative or hostile attitude by the government toward the private sector and that's the main reason why private production has declined in venezuela severely. that is contributing to create scarcity problem in venezuela. >> large companies and multi-nationals generally have the financial muscle that smaller companies lack to withstand a crisis. hosting lectures and staging cultural events is part of the strategy the group that conceived of to survive. theirs, they say is a business model based on resistance. >> an economic crisis affects all of the supply chain even in the cultural sector. our only means of survival, but one that has gone hand-in-hand with culture has been to reclaim spaces people abandoned. >> but not all business owners have been as savvy. the crippling effects of the economic crisis can be seen in the multitude of closed shops and the in these whose shelves lay bare. >> when book shops and publishing houses closed, a country uses that

football's world governing body. >> he is receiving support from where he served as president of concacaf. >> here, they say they know jeffery webb better than anybody. his power and influence in the football world here was almost unmashed for several reasons. number one, he is from the nearby cayman islands. beyond that, he was the president of concacaf, the regional governing body. webb's power here was unmatched. he had visited this island several times most recently in 2013, where he was checking construction work being done near the football stadium here. he was showered with praise by local officials but his influence went way beyond the caribbean all the way to the top in fifa itself, he was considered an up and coming power player within the organization. he was part of the powerful executive committee since 2012 and also served on several subcommittees, as well. perhaps ironically, he was on fifa's transparency and compliance committee ironic perhaps because it is webb himself now accused by the u.s. justice department of taking part in massive corruption and fraud. the key allegation against webb from the justice department is that he received bribery money along with others totaling more than $40 million according to the accusation, for the broadcast rights to the copa america tournament here. the football word is watching this case and the entire corruption case against fifa very closely but no more so than in this region, the caribbean, where they consider jeffery webb almost a native son. >> pell lay is back in hospital for the third time in eight

control of hamas on gaza? >> it is a concern. it's been a concern here for a couple of years. there's also been groups here who don't agree with hamas's more reckon as i will i can't tear tone with israel when you see rockets out of gaza. israel holds hamas responsible for anything that happens here. when israel retaliates, it's always targeted at hamas. this is the biggest we've seen here and

any real support in gaza. isil is very, very strike situation and--they will go against anyone fighting the occupying. it is against the whole region. they don't have a real situation in gaza. we don't want to jump to the conclusions. we have to give our people time to investigate what has happened exactly, and then we can talk about it. i can't say that they have a strong influence in gaza and we were dealing with situations on different occasions like a few years ago. we will not allow any disturbance for the security of the palestinian people and i believe it is responsibility for hamas, it is the responsibility of the ministry of the interior, security forces, i believe they have to do their work and we will support their work according to the law. >> it's five months since

comments. he said it will not change tehran's relationship with the u.s. or the middle east. business with tehran may be about to pick up. germany is sending a trade delegation and spain has a similar trip planned. we are joined frow from vienna by an advisor from a consulting firm for companies pitching business in the middle east. there's talk about business picking up with iran, but iran's banking sector has been badly cripple would by the sanctions. how long will it be before the banking sector is able to deal with business picking up? >> iran itself has a function in banking sector, but obviously the sanctions of the past few years have sort of created a disconnect between the iranian banking system and especially the western banking system. we have to wait for the lifting of sanctions but once lifted, my assumption, the second and third tear banks western and european banks will engage very quickly, but the first tier banks will have to go through a number of practices especially the corrupt being checked. do you think foreign companies will be interested in simply selling goods rather than long term sort of investments and long term projects and commitments, given that sanctions are supposed to be able to be snapped back into place at any given time. >> well, first of all i think the interest in the iranian market is huge, this is, you just mentioned you can see that at the fact that western european delegations are in a haste to visit iran and to rein gauge and reconnect their business partners there but essentially, the threat of sanctions is something that especially the european union will have to manage with their companies. a lot of these companies that are returning to the iranian market are doing so in coordination with their actual governments. now, the instinct of companies is obviously trying to sell and trying to generate revenue but the fact is that in these past years, especially in the past decade, iran has obviously created a lot of local capacity, and iranian industry is not going to accept, you know, mass imports into the markets, so those companies who are prepared to enter into a type of partnership joint venture with the iranian companies are eager than those who simply want to export to iran because they are afraid of sanctions kicking back. iran needs long term engagement rather than a short term engagement. >> will the country be able to secure foreign business interest in vital sectors like the oil industry, the aviation sector, where is the foreign focus likely to settle? >> well, oil and gas generally is obviously the most attractive sector because of the vast oil and gas resource that is iran has, but you just mentioned aviation. there are other sectors automotive sector, generally industrial sector. i think iran is definitely a lucrative market. it's a market that has a lot of potential and a lot of capacity, but companies have to understand that it is an economy that is looking for upgrading and modernization. it's looking for new modern, efficient ways of utilizing its potential, and if companies are prepared to engage in that kind of a relationship with iranian partners then it's definitely iran as a market is definitely attractive enough for them. >> all right. thanks so much for your thoughts on that. >> let's get more now on the diplomacy. as we mentioned earlier the u.s. defense secretary is heading to israel, saudi arabia and jordan to sell the deal. tom ackermann looks at why his message of reassurance may be hard to accept. >> saudi deputy crown prince getting a tour of the u.s. aircraft carrier roosevelt patrolling off iran in the gulf. his visit was before the deal with iran, another effort to reassure the saudi's that their seven decades reliance with washington remains steadfast. ash carter stand in reap idea and attempted to reinforce that message. the saudis have reached he more than $90 billion in weapons deal with the u.s., sales that include war planes, armored vehicles missiles and bombs. some of that hardware has been deployed by the saudi's along with its gulf cooperation council partners in their involvement in yemen's war and the u.s. is providing the saudi's with intelligence and logistics in the fight against the houthi rebels, whom the saudis reward at ires rockies. >> we are supporting their operations in yemen in the way i described earlier. the objective there is to restore a political process there in which a legitimate government can be established. >> that cooperation hasn't quieted saudi anxiety over what they call iran's mischief across the region. in particular, tehran's military lifelines to bashar al assad. >> this comes back to iranian saudis strategic rivalry and the idea that the u.s. isn't pushing back hard enough on iranian influence in the gulf, in the levant elsewhere. >> as for squeal developing weapons jointly with the pentagon carter will follow up his boss's message to netanyahu last week. >> i propose fog further than any administration before in terms of providing them additional security assurances from the united states. >> assurances whose specifics for now remain unspoken, but not as yet enough to keep netanyahu from giving up his appeal to the u.s. congress to reject the deal. tom ackermann, al jazeera washington. >> the family of the suspected gunman who
