at the women look at the women and children fleeing the violence. the threat of a trade war between the world's two biggest economies the u.s. and china has just gone up a notch after the white house proposed twenty five percent terrorists and billions of dollars worth of chinese imports washington's put out a list targeting thirteen hundred chinese products mainly in the tech sector china has promised to hit back with measures of the same strength we'll hear from beijing in just a moment but first john hendren tells us more about what the u.s. has announced the u.s. trade representative has announced fifty billion dollars in new tariffs on chinese products this is the latest salvo in what threatens to be a trade war this round is over the future of technology the u.s. has targeted thirteen hundred products in the aerospace information technology communications robotics and machinery industry they say this is necessary due to harmful chinese policy that is

a reference to china's china two thousand and twenty five plant in which china plans to replace technology imports by domestic products by the year two thousand and twenty five but the u.s. says that china has misappropriated u.s. intellectual property through requiring joint ventures by unfair licensing rules through buying u.s. tech firms with state funds and through outright theft the. this all began when president donald trump announced tariffs on aluminum and steel coming out of china china retaliated with tariffs on port fruit nuts and wine the that was specifically tailored to her trump supporters in the farming industry in the middle of the u.s. where he got a lot of his support whether this will result in a rising trade war or whether negotiations will end up with a negotiated solution that remains to be seen. we heard first from china's commerce ministry which issued a statement at six am local time warning that china would respond with

countermeasures of equal intensity we also heard from the chinese foreign ministry which issued a statement warning that the u.s. action was unrealistic and protectionist and was recklessly endangering trade cooperation between china and the united states it seems that the trumpet ministration is targeting industries the form part of president xi jinping made in china two thousand and twenty five strategy this is a move to turn china into a modern manufacturing economy within the next seven years in doing so though he is challenging the big tech icons in the united states and they say that the reason why china has got to the position it's at now is because it's been stealing and replicating their technology u.s. executives here though worry that it's not so much further terrorists that are the big concern it's whether this trade friction could turn into a consumer boycott and we've seen in the past that the chinese consumer can be

a workforce which is already under training in russia it's the first foreign visit by president vladimir putin since he was reelected last month he chose nato member turkey which has become a staunch russian partner in recent months or so to see what. today we're not just inaugurated the first atomic power plant but we're laying the foundations for turkey to have an atomic industry so we're building a whole new sector turkey is a highly developed economic state but this is a new step in the history of a turkish republic. with the power plant the two countries are forging defense economy in strategic ties both countries are working on a major gas pipeline which will provide hydrocarbons with the growing energy needs dicky's purchase of russian s four hundred missile defense system has been criticized by its nato allies to them between the two countries is worth more than twenty six billion dollars a year and the turkish president is hopeful that russian help he can push the economy to be among the top ten in the world by twenty thirty three trucks or

trains cancelled many passengers were left stranded some stations were nearly empty as many travelers chose to stay home or take alternative transport i think the strike justified you have to defend public services and everyone has a right to strike but i believe the rail operator must be reformed. france's railed unions have called for three months of rolling strikes and protests they're angry over the government plans to reform the national rail company s.n.c.f. and scrap some of the workers' special privileges such as early retirements. are not backing down he won't give up his fights or give in to the government school of the objects or not we are protesting far blights as well workers and to keep our privileges france's government says s.n.c.f. must change as it's deep in debt and must prepare for twenty twenty when the french rail network will be open to foreign competition under e.u. rules like a strong six with reform this reform is necessary for commuters yet in seattle

where workers so it must be complete and many people in france they did these strikes will be a man all michael's biggest test since he came to power in may he has promised to transform france's economy and he's been pushing ahead with an ambitious reform agenda but it will not be easy to reform essence a solution if macro fails the remainder of his presidential term will be tarnished as a huge failure on the other hand if he succeeds he will be seen in the months and years to come as someone who was capable of reaching out to the unions and doing exactly what he was elected to do and that was to reform the country reform the past presidents have tried. and fail to reform as mack is determined to succeed much now will depend on the result of france's powerful trade unions it's al-jazeera paris. will take a look at the weather next then leaving me i'm on

hundreds of thousands of others who fled violence in. their boat headed through seven sea routes where it was intercepted by the time navy stopping on an island in the krabby province the group was given supplies and then a schoolteacher on its way the vessel was intercepted by malaysian maritime enforcement. in the lung where it docked in state there the refugees were given food water medicine and then now being processed by malaysia's immigration department florist louise our correspondent in paris that's close to where the range of refugees are currently being processed malaysia doesn't recognise refugees not being a signatory to the un convention on human rights and it normally turns away boat refugees but the malaysian officials said they are allowing them to adopt they are processing them as migrants without valid topple documents on humanitarian grounds

many of them continue to stay on in malaysia despite not having any legal status they do get given what's known as white cards by the u.n.h.c.r. that's the united nations refugee agency that operates in many countries around the world as you know as well but they don't really have any legal status. many of the children can't go to school able to work legally yet many of them will want to stay on here because they view this as some sort of a safe haven largely because of malaysia's majority population so i can imagine for many of them once they've been processed once they've been given u.n.h.c.r. white cos they will want to continue staying on in malaysia they are already about sixty thousand. living in the country. the women with disabilities in india say they feel invisible and if there is survive sexual violence they struggle to access the criminal justice system the government has adopted significant legal
