tells the history of what palestinians call the catastrophe. this is. hello and welcome to this al-jazeera news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. changing of the guard opposition leader produce tranches become spain's prime minister after mariano rajoy loses a no confidence vote. on the brink of a global trade war america's closest allies threatened to impose their own terrorists against the united states. to washington to deliver a personal letter. a north korean senior advisor is due in

washington to meet president trump later on friday. why a new museum in cape town with the world's largest collection of african art isn't looking so attractive to everyone. i'm joining the day sports including the finals prostration the county's game on to the warriors i'll tell you why le bron james was so annoyed at his teammates. the first within the last hour the spanish prime minister mariano rajoy has been ousted from power in a vote of no confidence the opposition socialist party leader. has now taken over as the new prime minister this past week has been struggling to restore trust after a cooled ruled that it had profited from their legal ski resort a whole. it was prime minister for seven years he's

a shop that is rise and his. mariano rajoy is known as spain's crisis manager and never with those talents more sorely needed when he's people's party came to power in its third attempt in two thousand and eleven as a sixty three year old political veteran it was an election won convincingly on a promise to tackle the fallout from the two thousand and eight economic crisis but roy's austerity measures backed by the e.u. proved tough medicine and brought the people out onto the streets salaries of public workers were frozen rent assistance for young people abolished income tax up and pensions down but it steered spain back to growth. over the last two years spain has been rocked by the territorial crisis over catalonia. despite the protests clamping down hard on the separatist movement blocked it from seceding

after catalonia declared independence. but roy safe pair of hands fumbled the latest scandal last week as more than two dozen business people including his party's former treasurer were sentenced on charges of corruption afterwards the socialist party put forward a motion to vote him from office. ok are you going to resign mr roy or are you going to keep on clinging to the position weakening democracy and weakening the quality of the government in the end these were charges he could no longer answer opening the way for yet another set of elections and possibly another vulnerable government to shop al-jazeera. right let's go live to madrid now and our correspondent there has been covering this momentous event in spain's political history needs. need so basically how did petra sanchez and his socialist how did they manage to oust mariano the high.

well very quickly is the short term such as any table the motion of no confidence last week. a matter of days now later that this confidence vote has been successful. pedro sanchez has been very much a vocal critic of mariano rajoy for a very long time such as actually resigned as a member of parliament a year and a half ago to protest the return of mariano rajoy following an inconclusive election so he isn't actually an m.p. but he has remained secretary general of the socialist party and a very strong figurehead within the socialist movement this all comes off the back of a host of corruption charges levied at high profile figures within people's party dating back to campaigning in the late one nine hundred ninety s. and early two thousand and twenty nine people were convicted as a result of an investigation into those allegations among them

a man called louis ross and asked the former treasurer of the people's party a close ally of mariano rajoy who on monday was sentenced to thirty three years in jail and fined fifty one million dollars and of course mariano rajoy zone party face allegations too were profiting from some of this for they've been ordered to pay back two hundred eighty five thousand dollars and that really got the ball rolling when it came to challenging. the people's party's right to be in power and of course the socialist party it had to draw in support from across the political spectrum to get this over the line and what we've seen from these results overwhelmingly is that one hundred eighty m.p.'s voted in favor of this vote of no confidence one hundred seventy six was the target that was needed and what do we know then about this young charismatic economist painter sanchez who is now the leader a spain. how long. or

how long you know is that's the big question it's just going to be a honeymoon period for him for the next few days or so but there's a lot of work to do a nice to form a new government for the time being ministers from the people's party will remain in place in an interim government so how quickly you can do that is really you know yet to be seen it could be a matter of days it could be even weeks but he's going to continue facing an awful lot of pressure from the other political parties here including the centrist party hands that the leftist but there must party. particularly the centrists they are pushing for elections later later on in the year primarily because they're doing very very well in the polls at the moment and they feel that they can win if an election is called so certainly he's going to be under pressure from them to push for an election later on in the year but he's also just because we want to go on to hold on to power for as long as he possibly can as you mentioned there is

a forty seven year old former economics professor who rose very quickly through the ranks of the socialist party he resigned as i mentioned in protest the return of marianna horia went on a road trip around the country to reconnect he said with some of his grassroots socialist supporters and his political return now has been very seismic indeed although he isn't officially an m.p.'s remain at the helm of the party and now is leader of this country me thank you very much indeed neve barker there at our correspondent live in the spanish capital now we can speak to matt carter who is professor of political science at coventry university in the u.k. and he's joining us live from london and so mariana becomes the first prime minister in modern spanish political history to lose a no confidence voice vote so how significant a political development is this. well it's a very important political development is also it's a sign that spain is

a mature democracy when somebody is not. behaving well that they can be removed by democratic means that is a massive step forward from from spain when when i was born it was a dictatorship a fascist dictatorship and spain has been one of the most successful countries to democratize and and in some ways it's it's a sign of maturity of scottish democracy that this has happened ok but. sorry i was going to go and going to go on to ask you about the fortunes now of the party to popular his party that he is led which is being tainted say badly being accused of supervising a corrupt system of allowing institutionalized corruption within the spanish system can the party continue. it will be tricky for them to continue but i suppose if one were to look across europe in two thousand the cd you policy in germany was involved in a similar scandal and they came back and became. so you might have

a change of god and you would might need the new generation to come in but we've often seen the fortunes of the political parties go up and down and the fact that a strong party in say germany was able to fight back would indicate that the same could possibly happen in spain but they are in mortal danger but things are not looking so well for the socialist party i think the socialist party such as might have a you know bit of a honeymoon now but he was somebody who was only able to form a government in in two thousand and fifteen and two thousand and sixteen then tried to form a government with today most of the left wing which was voted down by people in his own party he's not necessarily well liked by the by the regional the there so to think it's not going to look as easy for the socialist as it is it would seem at this very moment and on all right thank you very good. matt quarter talking to

us live from london. now from one country that has just lost a prime minister to a country in europe that is just gained a prime minister is really of course is what i'm talking about the first populist government is due to be sworn in in just a few hours from now on table lead the coalition of anti establishment five star movement as well as the far right league party now the breakthrough through ends three months of political uncertainty we can go live to the italian capital and speak to our correspondent then the diem barber and first of all the markets are looking up the markets seem quite pleased the fact that they've made a decision and there is a government about to take over. that's right marty there has been a notable effect on the financial markets as shares in italian banks for example up several percentage points on a friday of course there was

a hit to the markets earlier this week when it looked like italy could be going towards fresh elections now that's not going to happen and the interesting thing is that the nature of the makeup of this new government is remarkably similar to what we were looking at a week ago with the notable exception of the economy minister the original appointee how low seven or seven or was vetoed by president surgeon my trailer now mr boehner moved to a fair is so possibility of him still causing some trouble in brussels he's in and you're a skeptic but the new the new economy minister will be giovani trio he is not such a euro skeptic but he has actually talked he's criticize things like germany's current account surplus he wants changes to e.u. rules to allow the give the italian government to to be able to invest more to boost growth so lots of questions about exactly how much friction there will be in

the next few months not only that the two big players. salvini head of the league will be interior minister and he's promised to expel hundreds of thousands of migrants luigi demaio head of the five star movement moves to he's the labor an industry minister he has promised guaranteed basic income whether they'll be able to push through those policies remains to be seen. it's a popular place for local shoppers an interest wanting a taste of italy but at this market in rome there's one thing that's not so popular and that's the currency they've used for the last sixty years oberto is a pensioner who gets six hundred euros per month he and his friends who meet here every day say ditching the lira has brought nothing but problems that would let you know it well yeah it was supposed to be two thousand lire to the euro but what used to cost the house and lira suddenly became so somebody stole half of our money.

but what about the so-called nuclear option that scared the financial markets lately in other words italy leaving the eurozone not everyone is prepared to press that button. no no i don't think we should leave but we should renegotiate so we're not bowing our heads to germany approach that you know i'd be ok with trying to leave the euro but of course things could get even worse it's not hard to find italians who will tell you the euro has been bad for the country and bad for their own finances but many of the same people say that it would be a bad idea for italy to scrap the currency and that's a new also the italy's politicians are well aware of. the issue of eurozone membership was largely avoided in the run up to the general election in march this financial expert says it should not be to boom to talk about quitting the euro if you see clearly i'm going to leave the euro. the markets will attack you strongly and we will finish as the greece at the

opposite you have. a. in order to exit from euro notes. and some italians all ready to back any party promising to get rid of the single currency people like. set up a butcher's shop here fifty years ago. if there was a politician trying to get us back to where we were he'd get my vote certainly the euro is something many italians love to hate but there are a few people here think it's going to disappear any time soon. al-jazeera. we've got a lot more to come on this al-jazeera news hour including. i don't even know if we still have a house or if it was destroyed millions of syrians risk losing their homes over a new property law that's been put in place by president assad's government. and

find out why serena williams thinks her game will get even better now she is a mother will reveal. that some of america's closest allies are taking retaliate tree measures after the u.s. impose tariffs on steel and alum in yemen imports the trump administration refused to continue with the exemption for the european union canada and mexico there are now fears of a global trade war i white house correspondent kimberly how reports. u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross made the announcement from paris where he was attending an annual trade forum. tariffs of twenty five percent on steel and ten percent on aluminum imports into the united states from canada mexico and the european you. it all go into effect friday the move potentially sets in motion

a trade war with some of the united states' most important allies a claim the u.s. commerce secretary brushed off everybody has a remeron again very firmly every country with others whose loathing weird about the whole thing will get over this in due course in brussels the head of the european commission called it a bad day for world trade promising counter measures that could include retaliatory tariffs u.s. goods into the e.u. on everything from blue jeans to motorcycles what they can do we are able to do exactly. the same it's totally up to the it come to be she pulls you or three measures when it comes to. create france's junior trade minister promised a similar response suggesting the u.s. president may be misinformed. no more forgotten issue that comes

a point when one needs to look at the figures and i'm surprised that maybe president trump stuff haven't shown him how much those european companies have invested in the united states created jobs that to assemble and produce the now those u.s. jobs could be at risk just as president donald trump seeks to fulfill one of his top campaign promises to protect the jobs of his supporters in america's steel and aluminum manufacturing sectors it's not just international partners criticizing donald trump's decision to oppose steel and aluminum tariffs on top u.s. allies domestically members of president trump's own republican party are also criticizing him fear of the effects of a global trade war despite white house efforts to downplay those concerns can really help hit al-jazeera at the white house. well of u.s. trade partners across europe of denounce these new terrorists the french president

called the american action illegal waltz his foreign minister said america first is becoming america alone the german finance minister said the terrorists may violate international law and it wasn't a good day for transatlantic relations and then there was the british government expressing deep disappointment saying the u.k. and other u.s. allies should get a permanent exemption let's go live to paris our correspondent there in the trash about. emanuel mccraw thought that he had a special relationship didn't he with president trump clearly he might be taking this personally as a slap in the face. well there is no doubt that emanuel mack holds a tone when he's been talking about donald trump or to donald trump or cerny hardened over the past twenty four hours i mean it looks like we're seeing not only a trade war but a war of words about omar call calling donald trump on the telephone and saying that these tariffs are not only illegal but they are

a mistake in metal michael says they were illegal because they bypassed international rules on trade and the w t o and they are a mistake because these sort of unilateral decisions on trade rarely come to anything in fact he seems to be suggesting to donald trump that if this is a big for donald trump for votes then he is mistaken because these kind of terrorists will only end up bringing unemployment and high prices in america so some very stern words from a man or marco who as you point out is really trying to develop a relationship with the u.s. president over the past year in order to try to influence him on key matters but we have seen over the last twelve months donald trump putting out on climate change deal on the iran deal and now slapping these tariffs on the european union and i think it might or mark will be extremely frustrated with that because he has reached out to donald trump so many times and that's why we're seeing his tone hardened for now the french president is saying that the european commission needs

to do something about this that europe is united in its response and it will probably just simply hit back with tariffs indeed he said the front at least if not the e.u. is prepared to respond in a firm and proportionate way do we have any idea as to what the thinking is in terms of retaliatory measures. well i think across the european union there seems to be at least a sense of being united behind the fact that everybody needs to respond firmly that was those are the words of the french finance minister he talked about a united and firm response he called these tariffs dangerous and we know that the european union really tried very hard up until the last minute on wednesday to try and talk to u.s. officials to try and limit the impact of these tariffs or hopefully big zend but that was not the case as we know twenty five percent on still ten percent on alimony and so what the e.u. are looking at now tariffs on goods from the u.s.

such as cranberries motorcycles jeans bourbon a range of products and they're very specifically targeted because these are products that are made in areas the united states that traditionally supported the e.u. has a strategy here it looks like they do not want to take things lying down and there's no doubt that there's a lot of stake here for the europeans they are the second biggest producer for example of steel in the world after china so there are three hundred twenty thousand jobs at stake across the european union they rely on steel and there's no doubt that european officials are going to defend their interests natasha thank you very much natasha butler there live in paris. now the north korean leader's right hand man is only his way to the u.s. capitol hill be delivering a letter from kim jong il to president trump the next step follows what the u.s. secretary of state has called great progress made during talks in new york here's

our diplomatic editor james bays. a second day of intense diplomacy between the u.s. secretary of state and the north korean envoy who met for almost two and a half hours reporters watched the comings and goings of the apartment block where the u.s. government owns a residence on the thirty ninth floor state department officials were very. which is what they said but one man was not as restrained the u.s. president he spoke as the meeting was still under way revealing for the first time that general kim will now head to the white house good morning i just want to tell you we're doing very well with north korea our secretary of state has had very good meetings he's meeting again today i believe they'll be coming down to washington on friday and a letter is going to be delivered to me from him john. the president said the summit in singapore if it takes place could be the first of perhaps two or three

meetings between him and kim jong un later circuitry pump aoe sidestepped questions about whether the two sides have the same definition of denuclearization and seemed well aware of the scale of the challenge ahead this is going to be a process that will take days and weeks to work our way through there will be tough moments there will be difficult times i've had some difficulty conversations with them as well. they've given right back to me to reporters had been led to believe that these crucial negotiations would only be taking place here at this apartment block in new york but now there is another phase and an unpredictable element president trump himself at the white house general kim is carrying a letter which he will open there from his leader. james. neal. and peace also resume between north and south korea in the demilitarized zone the

divide them the high level delegation has agreed to push forward with joint military tools and even discuss efforts to reunite separated families and this is the latest move to help pave the way for a summit between kim jong un and donald trump when hey reports from seoul. after the fanfare of the leaders summits this was the two koreas getting down to work senior representatives from the north crossed the border at the demilitarized zone to meet the delegation from the south the aim was to begin implementing what their leaders had discussed. we should in front of all the media here take on and follow the will of the leaders the leaders are walking far ahead of us why can't we follow them they did agreeing to set up a joint liaison office at the case on industrial complex just north of the border that's been closed since two thousand and sixteen following the north's missile and nuclear tests what were the most noble go south and north came to shared a common understanding of the basics trust respect and mutual understanding that

the two leaders showed they've also agreed to consider staging an event on june the fifteenth to mark the anniversary of the first into korean summit eighteen years ago the talks between the two koreas have been positive and practical steps appear to have been taken towards improving relations but much depends on whether a potential summit between u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un takes place and if it does what the outcome may be as we've seen recently the situation is changeable. friday's meeting was supposed to be held two weeks ago but the north koreans withdrew in protest over joint military exercises being held by south korea and the united states a few days later donald trump withdrew from a proposed summit with kim jong un citing tremendous anger and open hostility from pyongyang but after kim and south korea's president moon julian had a surprise second meeting last week all sides are once again working towards

a kim trump summit on june the twelfth wayne hay al-jazeera sole. in just a few moments richard will have the weather news and also coming up on this al-jazeera news out. of new actions. on the streets of nicaragua the fear that violence against anti-government protesters will continue and france's coach feels the pressure as he prepares his team for the world cup he knows there's a new man waiting to take his job we'll explain everything in sport. and that's. the weather sponsored by qatar airways. for many parts of europe it's been a record breaking weather so far as the temperatures have been concerned over the

last few weeks and temperatures remain very high across parts of scandinavia sweden a seen some record breaking temperatures at records going back into the middle of the eighteenth century meanwhile across in bergen in norway they've been trying to keep cool it's been that warm across much of europe has been the plus side if you like of this situation the downside has been these huge was kilometer scale convective storm systems which have given some very large amounts of rain in many parts of europe certainly the last twenty four hours we've seen some big storms across parts of france and belgium and on into germany where the storms are likely to continue developing over the next twenty four to forty eight hours in fact right now there is a severe storm break across southeastern parts of vienna probably centered on gras so we could be seen hell stones about three centimeters in diameter and some severe flash flooding what's going to happen is around this sequence is that the risk of storms is going to continue to migrate slowly towards the east over the next twenty

four hours or so pushing into parts of poland and down through also that remains and there are some very severe storms as those storms yes great sunny but in them it's really bad. the weather. pattern always. from cutting edge medical technology. the development of lifesaving drugs to advances in the most difficult regions of the world. and innovative solutions to global health. may be. sure to solve the cure on al-jazeera. new possibilities. journalists or medical facilities either already declared a state of emergency several weeks ago documentary. to discover

a wealth of award winning programming from around the globe. debate some discussion on the split screen dignitaries on the other carnage see the world from a different perspective only on al-jazeera. look at the top stories here in the news asked spain has a new prime minister after mariano rajoy russia not a vote of no confidence ending six and a half years in power the opposition says this party. has now taken over the vote was force after members of the voice conservative people's party with jailed for

corruption. in south korea have agreed to set up a new joint liaison office during resumed peace talks the south korea delegation is proposing military talks to reduce further tensions. some of america's closest allies are taking retaliate tree measures after the u.s. in pay. terrorists on steel and aluminum imports the trumpet ministration refused to grant exemptions to the e.u. to canada and to mexico and there are now fears of a global trade war. well that's a question for our next guest who is fairly phillipe le grange is a political economist in the former special advisor to the director general of the world trade organization he's joining us from london and that's the first question then are we on the brink of a global trade war would you say. i think we could be i think trump wants one he seems to want to shake the system and put it potentially break it

obviously hitting your allies with tariffs on steel and i million is one thing he's also setting a much bigger deal which is tariffs on cars and then just this week. of trade war with china seems to be back on again so that the overall picture is that he seems to be looking for a fight well. the president of the european union commission as well as others about she claimed that this is illegal this goes against the rules and regulations is this illegal and can they be challenge therefore at the. well the da video does allow an exemption for national security and that is the bogus claim that trump is relying on that he needs to keep out foreign steel from its allies on national security grounds this is nonsense you know you can see american lockheed jets rely on cat canadian steel so if anything open trade. it

bolsters american defense and the notion that the european union most of whose members are in nato are somehow a security threat to the us is is true for the obvious you know though it's a poisoned chalice i mean if it were to rule against the us and say that it actually. it's and it was misusing the national security clause the threat is that trump could pull the us out of that obvious show altogether something he's previously threatened to do if on the other hand. fail to slap down the us it would be open season for other countries to use national security as a pretext for limiting trade in all sorts of other areas all right and you can see already trump is preparing a similar measure with cars which where it's clearly even less of a national security concern now he says all of this he is appealing to his base of

faith in the united states he says he wants to protect u.s. jobs if not create more will he succeed in doing that taking this kind of action given that steel and and uranium in that part of the supply chain. well i mean in the short term it's beneficial for steel about a million industries but they employ relatively few americans there are far more americans employed in industries that use the euro and they're being hit with forty percent higher prices we've seen so far this year as you point out also there's the disruption to supply chains within the north american free trade area with mexico and canada and then you have the hit to u.s. exports first from us based firms whose cost have been pushed up by the protectionism and second of all from the retaliation which canada mexico and the e.u. are introducing so overall it's going to mean higher prices in the u.s.

fewer jobs and lower growth really blue-green thank you very much indeed good to talk to you. thank you the millions of syrians who want to go home after fleeing the seven year war face a new legal obstacle more than six million of them are internally displaced by the fighting and another five and a half million are refugees outside of the country and many of them could lose their homes in syria because a new law has been passed it was in april that allows the government to seize property from anyone who can't prove ownership now that's a big worry for the countries that are actually hosting the refugees because that means of course they may never be able to leave then the hot air is our correspondent reporting now from the bekaa valley eleven a m. . is afraid that her stay in lebanon could become permanent she fled the war in syria in two thousand and thirteen her hometown of is now under government

control she says the army hasn't allowed civilians to return yet and a new law passed by the syrian government is threatening to confiscate homes of those people who don't prove ownership it's not out of and i don't even know if we still have a house or if it was destroyed and when we fled we left with nothing so i don't have any documents with me there are millions of syrians like him ahmed who escaped from the fighting with nothing number ten as it is known means they may be stuck in exile international aid agencies say just nine percent of refugees and displaced have their property title deeds with them this is worrying host nations like lebanon where there are over one million refugees. it's very worrying because when you when you think that would encourage the displaced or in that effort to come back to their country and the. measures to discourage them the syrian government says the new law is needed to begin the reconstruction of areas damaged by war

human rights groups disagree they say damascus passed similar laws in two thousand and twelve to confiscate property without due process or compensation many syrian refugees no longer have valid identity documents they will not be able to prepare the types of case files that they will need to show that they are property owners within the timeframe that has been given under law number ten. the syrian opposition says the law is part of the government's efforts to bring about demographic changes by repopulating areas with loyalists. many of the refugees in lebanon come from areas that were battlegrounds under rebel control before being recaptured by the government places like the damascus countryside homs and the color mon region they may be considered safe by some but political economic and security reasons prevent others from returning. and now the law is an obstacle to those who want to go back home even if it means living under bashar assad to rule

mohamed farah so how is one of them his hometown has been all but destroyed and he has no documents to prove ownership of his land. no i don't have any papers i don't even know my property number that is because i inherited it from my father i don't know if my house is still standing i have nothing by god it's estimated up to fifty percent of syrian land was not officially registered before the war for many permanent displacement is becoming a reality. all right wing go live to c.n.n. now who's in one of these makeshift refugee camps that is in the bekaa valley and of course lebanon. houses so many of those who've been displaced by the fighting in syria so this must be a particular problem for those people surrounding you now. well yes the lebanese government has expressed concern the foreign minister has sent a letter to the syrian foreign minister asking for an explanation they've also the

lebanese government has also sent a letter to the united nations lebanon is concerned just over one million refugees are registered with the united nations but it is estimated that lebanon hosts one point five million refugees and this country the government really facing a lot of pressure from the host communities because many of these syrian refugees are working in lebanon and they are taking the jobs from the lebanese and they work for less so lebanon wants to see the refugees return to syria they do not want to see any laws that is going to encourage them to stay and not not head back home but really they face a lot of obstacles because a lot of them if you ask a lot of people here that very well we don't have any of our property land deeds we left that behind because we escaped the fighting and we left in

a hurry and of course there are other syrians who don't have property to begin with because half of the syria's land was never registered even before the war and then you have a lot of people here who do not want to return to government controlled areas because they're scared they're wanted they were involved in some sort of opposition activities and then of course you have the young men who do not want to return to syria because they don't want to be don't want to join the army so many reasons why they cannot go back to claim their lands and if they don't do that then their land will be confiscated by the syrian government. i'm too cool these people have. to go back home given all the problems that you've outlined then that means the only other alternative is that they become an almost permanent homeless. population again being being shouldered by the lebanese people the lebanese people of course have got a huge refugee population that dates back decades yes i mean if you look

behind me this is not an official count this is an informal settlements and the reason why the government has never allowed people to build any crime for holmes is because it doesn't want these refugees to stay here permanently lebanon has had a similar experience in the past when palestinian refugees crossed into lebanon in one nine hundred forty eight they're still here seventy years later and naturalizing refugee is is a very delicate issue because of the sectarian balance in this country so lebanon does not want them to permanently stay and lebanon is actively trying to find a way for thousands of them to return because according to some lebanese politicians the issue really divides lebanese politicians there are many safe areas in syria these people can return half of them are here for economic reasons because they have no jobs back home or their homes are destroyed all rise in the heart of their lives at an informal refugee camp in the bekaa valley in lebanon and. right

to pakistan now where a caretaker government and prime minister of now being sworn in the former supreme court justice. is in charge until the general election is held on july the twenty fifth the three main political parties are campaigning on promises of a stronger economy and more jobs tribal and religious loyalties traditionally influence voting in pakistan has the latest from the capital islamabad. the president of. the old to the chevron prime minister of pakistan natural and. formerly the country's chief justice also choice coming up after extensive consultation between the government and the opposition now general morlock is considered to be a normal. man he had also been the chief justice of the supreme court. and of course primary responsibility will be doing troll free and fair elections we're
