Because. The dollar is still tough stuff so therefore they are the military certainly though it may be the last night. I work there and you learn you very first place the. Politicians of leading the country into ruin with mismanagement and corruption. The misery is plain to see even among people who Arent Marching his son is certain that his life wont get better anytime soon. Jim and even then i dont know what the aim of the u. S. Sanctions is shit. All i know is that for iranians everything is getting worse the sanctions just hit alternately people who are poor anyway like mean the rich once. Food prices have risen by forty percent in just a few months few people can afford to buy meat even the price of bread has soared irans currency has plunged in value since may when the United States pulled out of the nuclear deal and threatened iran with new sanctions. The reaal has lost seventy percent of its value against the euro with disastrous consequences for
iranians. Neighbors and things like tomatoes and bread they were foodstuffs we could still afford to buy i think that when you cant even pay for a kumba then thats really bad for it became too expensive long ago. And. Deepening hostility between iran and the u. S. Also has people worried many are concerned that conflict could break out in earnest. Last month the war of words looks like it was spinning out of control. Irans president cautioned the u. S. That a war with iran could be the mother of all wars trump shot back with an all caps tweet Warning Tehran to never threaten the u. S. Again. Then last week President Trump stirred the pot further with a surprising proposal. Thank you very much thank you i would certainly make with iran if they wanted to meet i dont know that theyre ready yet to have
a hard time right now. But i ended the arendelle it was a ridiculous deal. Tehran hasnt directly replied to trump suggestion. But some International Media report a meeting might happen in new york at the next General Assembly of the united nations. President Hassan Rouhani is expected to go on National Television later today to give trump his answer. Ok lets get some analysis now with correspondent Eric Randolph joining us from tehran eric good morning to you all what kind of response can we expect from iran when the new sanctions are announced later today well theyve been fairly cagey they dont want to give the impression that the sanctions are going to cause too much damage to the economy because they dont want to give protesters more reason to go out on the streets and they dont want to panic the other currencies already collapsed by more than. The last few months. Theres a Delicate Balancing Act that the government has to play between showing results showing how its going to come to these measures and then has limited tools at its disposal to do that ok talking about limited tools. Going to be looking at these sanctions and how theyre going to be impacting the countrys Foreign Trade internationally especially its crucial oil sector what can we expect to happen there. The sanctions are coming back in two phases the first lawsuit coming back tomorrow thats going to hit things like cars some Financial Transactions and sales of carpets and things the really difficult ones are going to come in november when the u. S. Is going to try and block oil sales now some countries like india and china have already said theyre not going to cut or who sells from iran completely definitely thats going to be a major blow to irans economy and thats where were going to start to see potentially a real impact on the domestic economy with prices going up and things like that and
all of this is coming at a time when weve already seen days of protests about the economy and about the governments handling of this crisis now id like to pick up on that what about the iranian people eric how are they likely to take the increased hardships that will inevitably result from the new sanctions. Obviously a lot of people do blame the u. S. But i would say most of the anger is directed against their own government. Is have gotten used to hostility from americans thats been going on for forty years they expect that representatives to do something about it there was a lot of hope that the twenty fifty nuclear deal finally iran was coming out of that diplomatic isolation that we could see some Profit Connections with the outside weldon trade and Foreign Investment flooding in and a lot of people feel deeply disappointed that it hasnt managed just that and thats from the reform as conservatives say the government of the past. Stupid to
trust the americans that its shown itself to be naive and now its paying the price to pay well no more later today of course when we hear exactly what these sanctions are going to be for now though or ground all thanks very much for that from tehran.

Once this little comfort in the fact that the deaths have sparked outrage since happiness across the country as they mourn they suspect the government is just hoping that the dust settles as quickly as possible. To venezuela now where an investigation is underway after an apparent Assassination Attempt on president Nicolas Maduro he survived what appeared to be a Drone Bomb Attack saturday police have reportedly arrested a number of suspects. Colombians or Venezuelan Exiles Living in the u. S. State of florida were behind the incident which occurred during a Military Parade in the capital caracas. Late afternoon and caracas. President Nicolas Maduro speech to soldiers is interrupted. It was a drone armed with a bomb it broke off and me right in front of me something flying exploded. It was a powerful explosion which. Protects me. Then a second explosion seven soldiers are wounded the duro accuses financial backers in the u. S. And colombias president Juan Manuel Santos of Orchestrating The Attack Colombia rejects the charge calling it absurd washington also denies any responsibility well i can say unequivocally there was no u. S. Government involved in this at all look i could be a lot of things from a Pretext Set Up by the itself to something else. One venezuela journalist who broadcasts on the internet read
a purported letter claiming responsibility by an unknown group now called them off the net that cannot tolerate that our people have nothing to eat and no medicine and that our money is worth something about nothing not a lot of. The government says it has already arrested several perpetrators but there appear to be contradictions some people have questions about the second explosion. I think the government staged the whole thing you dont. Mention that the government was hurt itself. By the way this just pulls our country further down and many fear maduro may use the incident to justify more repression in his divided country while the european championships and laws ago there was more joy for team germany in the pool as Florian Belle Ball took gold in the mens fifteen Hundred Meter Freestyle the twenty year old clocked a National Record of fourteen minutes thirty six point one five seconds to secure germany second swimming gold of the weekend after the surprise when in the

So over to our down tensions between the u. S. And turkey are putting some new pressure on the turkish currency thats right brian
turkeys dispute with the United States over the fate of u. S. Pastor Andrew Bronson is threatening to further destabilize the lira the u. S. Had imposed further sanctions on two ministers and president. Havenot after months of plunging Exchange Rates the turkish currency has now hit a fresh low against the Dollar Inflation also rose again in july nearly sixteen percent a fifteen year high increasing pressure on the central bank to hike interest rates. For days one issue has been dominating the front pages of turkeys newspapers. The country spak with the United States has fueled fears of full blown economic turmoil. At the center of the dispute is u. S. Pastor Andrew Brunsons seen here in a white t. Shirt turkey accuses him of helping to plot a failed Military Coup in twenty sixteen after spending twenty one months in jail
he was transferred to house arrest at the end of july. That didnt go far enough for u. S. President donald trump who swiftly imposed sanctions on two senior turkish ministers. That in turn caused the lira to slide to a record low against the u. S. Dollar continuing in a ready existing trends take a look at this. As you can see the number of turkish lira you need to buy a dollar has been rising since the beginning of the year but in august a record was set by turkish lira and now buying new just one u. S. Dollar on surprisingly on the streets of istanbul the mood is far from offbeat. Things arent going in a good direction its terrible that one u. S. Dollar is now worth five yr are we ready have financial problems i dont approve of it things will get worse thats what were expecting. Turkeys dispute with
washington isnt the only factor affecting its economic prospects concerns over the independence of the countrys Central Bank President ed ones ability to tackle soaring inflation are among other issues weighing on investors minds. And this just goes beyond just this dispute between the us. Professor of economics at the university. Is the situation in turkey and how is everything. You know we need to see that these sanctions imposed by the u. S. Are so cold smart sanctions and they aim on a very specific problem but at the same time they tried not to harm the whole economy so the direct effect of the sanctions i would not see a big one i would not expect a big one the reason why we have seen such
a big reaction last week on the Exchange Rate originates from the general problematic Economic Conditions inflation has risen again current account deficit is increasing so the country is moving towards a serious financial crisis day by day a crucial question is the sanctions have a signal and the question is whether other countries will react in a similar way and their Financial Investors serving the reactions very clearly turkeys worship with europe is also on the rocks but what role can the e. U. Play in this dispute. Yeah exactly the question is the americans have reacted very clearly would cause a one single pass or there are thirty german citizens and there are increasing war says that europe should also take such strong steps but one need to bear in mind that turkey has different interests with the European Union compared to the us or
whats the worst that we have a migration deal as europeans with turkey we have also this financial integration a large extent of these loans in dollars and your terms for Turkish Companies are coming from italian banks or Spanish Banks so im skeptical that europe can act as heavily as the u. S. With respect to sanctions and the question is also whether we should do need because a collapsing Financial System in turkey will have had a cost also for europe just lets talk with more about that is a is a collapse really eminent and in which way would it be limited to turkey turkey or would it would it have further consequences. So it is no exaggeration that turkey is moving towards a financial collapse because its a tragedy how can an economy stabilize the Exchange Rate and the current account by
keeping this high growth rate so there is no signal that there is a political will to reduce this comes on certain based growth rates at the same time if this collapse comes of course we have a large amount of loans in italy and we know at the same time that italian banks have been in troubles for months or just remember after the elections how critical the situation was in europe and if turkey the Financial System collapse in turkey the central bank in europe has also again to bail out italian banks and that will trigger a political conflict again and europe so in this Bigger Picture destabilizing turkey is not in the interest of the European Union.
