I own a car to use it not to block growth its. Also coming up german race drivers of fia flourish is back in the drivers seat hugging the curves at full speed one year ago one of those hugs turned into a hit at 170. 00 mph in the corner i started crying it happened so fast no think its the floyd saw the video it didnt know that i was fighting for me it didnt feel that bad i meant to pain so that kicking in. Our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the maximum pressure on the leaders of iran and this time its coming not from u. S. Sanctions but rather from angry iranians 3 days ago the government began rationing gasoline and at the same time doubled the price. Protests erupted across the country the pain at the gas from becoming political and deadly at least 2 people have been killed in violence but a clampdown on the internet is making it hard to confirm what exactly is happening. It is a drastic policy change over gasoline the result of sanctions in the us his policy of maximum pressure or the protests symptoms of a homegrown discontent with the clerics at the top of the Islamic Republic what we do know tonight the Supreme Leader is accusing the u. S. Of supporting violent unrest in the country and the revolutionary guard warned if the public does not restore order in calm the guards will and yet those daring to defy the government are showing no signs of intimidation take a look now at what one woman dared to do on the bridge over a highway crowded by cars and people going nowhere. And for more now we want to bring in the iranian activists author and journalist must see new jobs she is in the United States but she has close contact with the people in iran and she joins me tonight from new york city mussy its good to have you on the program on your twitter account today you posted that video of an iranian woman removing her hes challenging irans rulers she publicly calls for the ayatollah to be executed. This this woman shes taking her own life into were during his by doing that would you say that this is a rare expression of opinion or is this something that is beginning to represent the majority of the people in iran. Let me tell you from the beginning this protest is beyond beyond the fuel price increase the people who are actually taking to the street and protesting they are chanting against the whole clerics they are chanting against Islamic Republic and this is actually the 1st kind of people who believe any job who doesnt believe in a job people who are you know religion number of agents working class middle class to gather and they are actually saying that we are fed up with the Islamic Republic which is a shocking right now its the level of violence against the people people are facing live bullets people are being killed in the streets of tehran and different cities across iran let me ask you was it i mean those are claims that we are not able to verify partly because of this internet blackout in iran tell me how are you getting the information that youre getting about whats happening in the country. Now some of the people actually using universities why 5 which is not a lot some of them using the wife eye of governmental institutions because a lot of people who even work for to be government they are unhappy. This has been the 1st time in our history that for 3 days the internet has shut down almost most of the country and that actually shows you the sign of the panic which the government are facing because they are now scared all these people that think they are out of control and they cannot control them so the videos that you receive actually showing that more than 100 people got killed more than a 1000 people got arrested and this is turning into the level of violence seen in a cold war and november 1978 during the last month of the shah when the military try to impose order based on reports from inside iran and the videos that i have been receiving and you know people what actually from different cities and town taking to destry actually saying that we want the rest of the war to hear us we are like hostage in iraq so we are like prisoners in iraq so it sounds like youre what youre describing is the conditions for yet another revolution that today we had the revolutionary guard warning that if the unrest does not stop Decisive Action will be taken so there you have a threat right there for military crackdown are you saying that we are looking at the beginnings of another revolution in iraq. To me it is just the beginning of another revolution because i know these people from working class middle class they have to try get a chance to reform the government just regime and it didnt work look what jobs are 8 and president rouhani has been saying to the rest of the war calling iran and island of its ability but you ronnies not right now is suffering from economy you know pressure iran is suffering from social not happy lack of social freedom these governments who do not allow people to dance to seem to choose their own like a style to look industry to really and choose what they want to wear this government never allow people to protest peacefully job out there it was using twitter and saying that john kerry is our foreign minister clearly that iranian people have the right to vote and have the right to protest when i see how all look yes or ask you know that youre in the United States and you know that for a long time it has been u. S. Policy that pressure now under President Trump maximum pressure on iran will eventually lead to a regime change from within and are you saying then that the policy that the u. S. Has pursued is now beginning to bear fruit. Let me tell you something this is the behavior of the government leading people to you know i asking for revolution for having regime change this is the crops and iran not just the maximum pressure from outside and im not saying got beaten back but let me tell you something when the iran deal happened people did to the street on set every kind of deal but the same people were asking for another deal which was human rights so after the deal the government to spend the money in gas it in syria in lebanon and that is why actually the main is still going in the streets right now people are chanting and angry then telling the government that do not to spend the money in the middle east we are suffering from not having bread not having electricity not having Running Water not having being paid our salaries for months and months but what we need from the United States and the rest of the world especially to get easy to make this government discuss this takers accountable because theyre killing the people they dont allow that generally so they report about that violence ok we dont need and present our state directly from chaos we have an action we need to even joined a united estate yes unfortunately were out of time but we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us your passion and thoughts about the Current Situation in iran a must see on the joy joining us tonight from new york city was we thank you thank you for having me or irans leaders are not backing down claiming that the protests have morphed into violence i want you to take a listen to how the government is describing the protesters and then listen to reaction from u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei of. You know why the methods have changed they came with knives and fire instead of just chanting slogans and protesting and they started attacking public facilities including military ones on the United States is monitoring the ongoing protests in iran closely we condemn strongly any acts of violence committed by this regime against the iranian people and are deeply concerned by reports of several fatalities and weve been at that since the beginning of this administration. The Islamic Republic must cease violence against its own people and should immediately restore the believe all arranged to access a free and open internet the world watching the iranian people will enjoy a Better Future when their government begins to respect basic human rights abandons its revolutionary. Posture and its destabilizing Foreign Policy in the region and behave simply like a normal nation the choice is clearly with the regime and that was the us secretary of state there mike pompei of lets take the story now to the u. S. Capitol our correspondent public polling alias joins me now from washington d. C. Good evening to you we just heard from the u. S. Secretary of state what is the white house policy now on this latest wave of protests in iran. Hi branch well i mean i think its pretty clear from what we heard there from the secretary of state very strong words there against the Iranian Regime you know basically hes saying that the you know the United States is monitoring those ongoing protests in iran and that theyre deeply concerned also by the reports. In the country now you know it was quite interesting to hear what he said there quite you know a threatening words in some ways in staying that you know the world is watching and that you know demanding once again that the iranian people have access to you know free and open internet for example so that they can access information at which they claim you know you know the free press the such i am now in that same press conference which was interesting at my pompei also brought up another big point of course for the United States which is that. Nuclear program of iran now the United States says that its terminating its sanctions waiver and related to irans at fordo Nuclear Plant and thats where the United Nations atomic watchdog has actually said that iran has been enriching uranium so you know in many respects its very own surprising what weve heard there from the secretary of state mike. You know publicly we heard earlier in this program from activists and she said that corruption in the government and in the bureaucracy. That corruption has been basically been festering now for a very long time and she said you know that is behind mainly behind these protests is that being reported in the us that we are would you say that theres a feeling at the state department maybe a also at the white house that these protests or a result of president drums policy of maximum pressure on tehran. Its a its you know its a bit of both but more so here you know were coming up to the one year mark of the beginning of trumps you know the trump and ministrations maximum pressure ad campaign and there is a feeling on so i would say that it is working you know that the iranian economy has been suffering and the impact of it is beginning to trickle down to you know people on the street and thats something thats hard to ignore according to washington you know and many respects what my pompei was said in that press conference was sort of sort of hinting or just directly saying it and i mean the figures sort of back it open thats what whats being said over here in the United States irans g. D. P. Is it is dropping considerably more so than was expected and theyre saying that that has a direct its because of this maximum pressure policy which is exploiting essentially the weaknesses in irans what they claim is already a weak economy and also one of the biggest problems which is of course directly related to the to the iranian economy is their Banking System which is being severely impacted by this maximum pressure policy high unemployment and then of course you know like youve been mentioning the increase in the price of petrol which of course affects every day life for iranians so you know overall like i said theyre seeing it you know basically that washingtons policy is working if they want if washington is seeing success inside iran you know theres news today that suggests there is not success outside of the wrong weve seen leaked diplomatic cables this is a big story published in the Washington Post today that says iran has warded practically or u. S. Attempts to block to irans influence in the neighboring iraq its a huge story has there been reaction. Theres been plenty of reaction i mean obviously here in the United States a lot of people are talking about it also we saw that you know a lot of details were actually pushed published in the New York Times i mean the intercept of the leak essentially what it did was it exposed irans. Basically fast influencing in neighboring iraq and it basically detailed the efforts tehran went to to basically spy on iraqi leaders and you know every aspect of political life and obviously you know this dates back 220142015 so the big talking point here is how detailed and how you know involved they were in iraq you know politics political life all right our correspondent. On the story for us in washington thank you. Researchers have been warning for years about the rise of superbugs antibiotic resistant bacteria well despite this the danger is higher than ever well this is the start of the World Health Organizations world in time by all of the Awareness Week heres a look now at the threat posed by the super books. Before the mid 20th century contracting a bacterial infection could easily kill you the age of antibiotics was ushered in by Alexander Fleming who discovered penicillin back in the late 1920 s. And was later awarded the nobel prize for his work then to a biopic set the scene for a paradigm shift in medicine theyve saved countless lives but bacteria evolve and a few of them always survive the encounter with the medicine pathogens eventually acquired resistance 1st to one then to more and more antibiotics then they multiply and pass it on they can even share their resistance with other microbes some multi resistant super bugs are no impervious to practically entire arsenal of antibiotics at our disposal. And research and antibiotics hasnt advanced nearly as much as in other fields of medical research big pharma is interest in them evaporated around 20 new major classes of antimicrobials were discovered between the 1940 s. And sixtys but over the last 60 years just 2 new classes of the drugs have been approved. Meanwhile the problem of multi resistance has grown increasingly acute experts estimate multi resistant pathogens killed around 700000. 00 people worldwide last year but theres still no comprehensive global plan for dealing with them. And for more now im joined by dr tim munns from the robert cock institute here in berlin he heads a unit that researches antibiotic resistance doctors good to have you on the show so why are we seeing this resistance is it because when we go to the doctor the doctor is just just too willing to prescribe us an antibiotic yet says one we there are several reasons and into it in different settings for example in high Income Countries this is is one of the. Isnt the high Income Countries too much describing of under biotics. To and to be a dick resistance but if you have a global look this is different for example in poor countries in low Income Countries there is not so much too much use of antibiotics its more wrong use and all the other things like no toilet and no good houses does it or what about the wrong use because we hear from the doctors that if we are prescribed an antibiotic we should take it all the way through to the end even if were feeling better but a lot of people dont do that right so theyre not really killing the bacteria completely is that is that what is happening says there are new research on this that sometimes say is perhaps its not necessary to take so long for example years ago folks pneumonia we said 10 days then it was 7 days now we are in 5 days only 5 days when the monkeys its enough so this is not so much a problem of course you have to take the under bionics as long as the doctors tell you and not stop it yourself we running out of antibiotics no i think we are we are away from the past under biotic times but but we have to be very much aware because resistance is rising in many countries and in many parts of the world and we have to use under which we have in a wise way which is very important really take them only if the doctor is describing and and you have to know that it is often not necessary because most infections viral by when you go to the doctor and if you have to view you have we have to support other countries with the Health System if you have a good whole Health System you use but in a better way than to be on it what about the drug makers the pharmaceutical companies are they doing enough to come up with new medications to replace these and bionics no i think that they. I dont do enough there they have no interest because they cant sell much money was under biotics was as was a job tracks and but but we have to understand that any way a new to access are just to postpone the brabham with under be adequate systems we have to meet new antibiotics are only a small piece for the whole broad but im much more important i think at the moment is use these tracks which we have in a better way than in the human side and all the others be good and faction control and new under biotics and in the moment economy lie on the document do you think that we can rely on peoples to people to do that because you cant control the entire population of there are so many people is there another option is there is there something that goes beyond trying to use antibiotics to treat bacterial infections has nothing in view in the next 10 years their research of working on Different Things but not a reader we have nothing else we need. Medicine how we do it today and absolutely necessary we need to be adi dr jim with the robert costa institute with the latest on you know bacteria and biopics in resistant structure and we thank you its due. Well the german race drivers appear flourishes at the wheel again this weekend she re
