support of six parties for the no confidence vote but he will have his work cut out when it comes to leading the fractured spanish parliament in madrid. catherine stansell al jazeera. well iran is a senior advisor to a member of the european parliament from the socialist party of catalonia and joins us now thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us so as you know the new spanish prime minister has said that he is opposed to independence for the catalan regions so how then is the new cap and leader going to achieve this. this is a little today the new has been elected but we're ready. to corral the new president of the lot of us with the lesson we need to remember is that hotline nationally you probably read for or to create god on blic so really the whole. the whole bit going to send
9:05 pm
a. really good abundance of our money we already wouldn't do that if that's because it's unclear the last saturday scene of the mate with the friend they have been doing and saving the law by six months or even one with so let's see what a couple. of examples you know because on one hand we are going good for the greater good book and probably intended to be creative with. the dialogue and with the with the funny sugar man saying no so we will see if they're going to not be aware please meaning they're doing their duty less than our boss or are they doing. to to respect the rule of law we've already seen and we've already seen catalan leaders take unilateral action by having an
9:06 pm
independence referendum and then declaring a split from the rest of the country and it just resulted in this prolonged uncertainty and political crisis is now not the time for some sort of compromise. yeah that's what they expected but. that doesn't mean that. the new government. so we'll see which of them a little everything and maybe we're you know both men were growing up a little or are pretty good strategy and say like i grew my respect a little and being wounded about is not enough and not and not the way cannot be done so we'll see but for sure the little it showed today are all trying to. create a new which not
9:07 pm
a new may know. militants who are demanding about it was because. we're going to bring about. the police age or people who are. in the job of people who are only do. so after going to a resort or a do because though they may. so he knew and he had enough in the land. and now the little they wanted to really meet kundalini up to remove what i'm looking jail where so that could be a new scenario is a new move. i have. something going to change you know radiation will have to see how any potential talks on negotiations on felt thank you very much iran check out of that a senior advisor to a member of the european parliament from the socialist party off catalunya. well marianna always departure has been welcomed by venezuela's president who took
9:08 pm
advantage of his ousting to poke fun at one of his biggest critics nicolas maduro also said he hopes spain's change in leadership will improve relations with caracas and this sort of. i will surprise of went away so fast almost without saying goodbye i respect the political life of spain we do not get into the political life for spain or hope that the new government the new president can build a new vision about venezuela and can open new policies of dialogue understanding and respect about venezuela i want relationships of respect well now to italy where the five star movement has called people out onto the streets in rome to show their support for the country's first populist government as it gets to work on his first full day in office the new prime minister just sepic on to join president soldier mattera for a military parade to mark the founding of the italian republic leads a cabinet formed from the five star movement on the far right party so nick is in rome for us and joins us now and it looks like the crowds are certainly gathering
9:09 pm
there behind you plenty going on there sanya. absolutely and for them what started off was initially planned to meet a protest rally against the rejection of the initial government that was presented as now become a sort of victory rally and as the speakers here on the stage didn't say this but then the start of a new kind of political culture here in italy is really off party in this anti establishment party which started off as being on the fringes of the scene gradually coming towards the center and leading down the government into what is going to be interesting if that's the word coalition she wears on what it would be their political opponents as it were the leg up party which is in every way very much anti everything that be a five star. party has come to represent bart's supporters gather to say yes of
9:10 pm
course this is a compromise but this is in fact the way that this has to happen it's the contract of the government the way the electoral law system works so it's really that competition for what we can do is try and find a medium between the two and to try and create a new kind of political culture away and provocative the karcher from what it's and has been going to these past few decades. and of course we saw how thought the talks were leading up to this agreement which in the end the two parties managed to strike what about potential obstacles ahead what do italian people want from this new government. well certainly the supporters of both the power to use the five star and the leg up they want a departure from that they've already seen what does that mean they've cried out that they want to see let less corruption in government but also there has been
9:11 pm
you're a skepticism that has been boys from both sides of the party now interestingly enough the anti europe voices have had to calm down because when you do speak to supporters much is that there is your skepticism in the sense that they feel about brussels doesn't do enough richly considering the amount that italy has had to contend with especially with the refugee crisis in recent years they've said that they want to sort of reconfigure their position within europe not be so much left behind but to be more the driving force so that's what they are looking towards lou that says both parts of this coalition are very much in agreement with that and of course it's about the economy as well to try and get reforms through and to try and sort of establish some kind of you know some universal reforms and with that as well but also to try and. change italy's. industries such as farming agricultural so well they both are finding common ground there as well but of course. also there are other issues such as immigration in which both parties are
9:12 pm
really at odds are that this going to be interesting to see in the coming days or weeks how that's going to pan out and whether the more extreme voices from one end or the other are going to be able to have some kind of conciliation with that thank you very much with all the latest from rome where we can see that rally taking place following an agreement to form a cabinet. has much more to come for you on this news hour. despite days of mass street protests jordan's prime minister refuses to withdraw a controversial draft income tax bill. from north korea with love and supersized envelope trunk gets a very special delivery from kim jong un. and the in sport why are mattress delivery resulted in some awkward questions but this world cup down.

9:16 pm
aid agencies are warning of a humanitarian disaster will have data lies two hundred thirty kilometers away from sun which the hoofy seized in two thousand and fourteen but it's the city's location on the red sea that makes it a strategic prize if the saudi led coalition takes over it would control yemen's most vital lifeline twenty two million yemenis need humanitarian aid more than two thirds of which is supplied through date as port ninety percent of yemen's food and most of its medicine is also imported through the city the coalition accuses the rebels of using the data as a launch pad for attacks on shipping in the red sea and for smuggling in rockets but aid agencies say two hundred thousand people that's hard of her date us population could be displaced if fighting breaks out in the center where young egeland is the secretary general of the norwegian refugee council he told our jazeera an escalation of violence in her data could have a terrible impact on hundreds of thousands of yemenis. given is that they country
9:17 pm
on earth with there is the highest number of people who are fruit very food insecurity who are at the brink of starvation many many millions seven ten more million who won't face starvation soon if that lifeline is is a cut and one of the one of the things that could happen is actually that this city which is certainly dispute that it's on the hands of the government in the in sana the that there is claims that bad things that come through why not make in it and internationally and minister that port since it is so vital for the civilian population where we can at. and we must at all costs avoid is war in one day that not only because of the hundreds of thousands of people who would come in crossfire but also because the park would be destroyed and the lifeline
9:18 pm
would be destroyed the jordanian prime minister heinie moki says he will not withdraw our controversial i.m.f. back tax bill before parliament that's despite the proposed bill sparking web protests in the country and calls for the government to resign the prime minister says the government will continue talks with the unions about the law and you leave it up to no make if they make a decision on whether to ditch the proposal. let me just under an e. is a middle east analyst based in jordan's capital amman she says the protests are likely to grow it is a widening and there isn't is collision and they expect it really is creation especially after the statement bid made by the prime minister who see me who is very pleased with the i.m.f. . grid that he got the grid is from the i.m.f. but is getting a great deal from the people and there are now on facebook and calls for more
9:19 pm
protests in art and we are expecting an escalation across the country a country it might do that the income tax really hurts the poor and the middle class it has increased it why didn't the net of taxable incomes and when you widen the net to of taxable income to and lower the. truth six fifty g.d.s. or for an individual in month which is around one thousand dollars a month while the seven wire while it used to be one thousand g.d.s. a month that means you eat it you are causing the impoverishment of the middle class and you causing more poverty is fishy that there are high. sales and service taxes. the u.s. has accused china of deploying high end weapons systems in the south china sea to intimidation coerce its neighbors these comments by the defense secretary jim
9:20 pm
mattis true a shop from the chinese general who called them air sponsible mattis was speaking at an international security conference in singapore where the korean peninsula took center stage had it done and some with. highly reports. the focus of the high level discussions here at the shangri-la dialogue all came down to one an insolent u.s. secretary of defense jim that is just hours after president donald trump confirmed the u.s. north korea summit was back on june twelfth here in singapore made something on very clear and open the number of u.s. troops in south korea is something that will not be discussed if we can restrict or confidence building measures with with something verifiable then of course these kinds of issues can come up subsequently between two sovereigns democracies the republic of korea and the united states but it is that issue is not on the table here in singapore on the twelfth. that adds weight to comments from trump that it's
9:21 pm
unlikely that a major breakthrough will come after just one meeting also hear the shangri-la dialogue the defense ministers from japan and south korea both spoke about the upcoming summit but with guarded optimism saying it's a historic first step down the right path but north korea cannot be rewarded just for dialogue concrete actions are needed. south korea was more conciliatory toward kim jong un urging patience with the north koreans for coming well because just because we have been tricked by north korea before does not guarantee that we will be tricked in the future if we start to think like this we can never negotiate with them and we can never look to achieve peace with them for all and also on saturday secretary mabus described china's buildup in the south china sea as militarization used for intimidation and coercion and i think mr mattis was doing that simply to remind everybody that the geopolitical chessboard straddled across the asia pacific is extremely large and a lot of moving parts and the current korean peninsula crisis is just one portion
9:22 pm
of that chessboard clearly a red line or several red lines have been crossed and the u.s. is now hitting back at these diplomatically trying to defend it it's actually saying what the u.s. and their allies are doing is simply being matched for now the countdown to the much anticipated summit in ten days remains in the spotlight it's got harder al-jazeera singapore south korea has played a major role in getting the summit and back on track of course president trump canceled his meeting with the north korean leader kim jong un just over a week ago only then to change his mind the following day when he has more from seoul. there was a positive response from the south korean government to the news that the summit between donald trump and kim jong un appears to be back on track for june the twelfth in singapore there was a very brief statement released by the office of the south korean prisoners mungy in referring to the letter that was written by kim jong un and sent to donald trump
9:23 pm
the statement said it is made the path leading to a u.s. north korea summit wider in studio and we will watch for the historic meeting to be held in singapore in an excited yet so perhaps cautious optimism is the best way to describe the response from the south korean government to that news that the summit appears to be or go forward june the twelfth but it looks also increasingly unlikely that will we will see any significant deals or any major announcements made during that summit the maybe some general agreements reached between donald trump and kim jong un there was some perhaps misguided optimism that they would be a deal reached related to perhaps the denuclearization of the korean peninsula which seems to be the ultimate goal or a peace deal to formally end the korean war but of course those two issues are very complex and it seems that there just isn't enough time to come up with some sort of
9:24 pm
deal before or during that summit when it comes to the denuclearization of the korean peninsula it also seems that the two sides north korea and the united states are still out wide apart when it comes to how best to achieve that goal. he's known for pushing the envelope with nuclear threats and warnings of war but this time kim jong un's actual envelope is getting the attention as we know on friday the north korean leader got his former spy chief to handle over a letter to president trump as they prepare for their historic summit and it's the size of the lesson that got social media buzzing it was almost as large as a folded newspaper defense analysts adam out suggested the north koreans of trump very well figured out because of course it's the size of a prize check in a t.v. game show is the president was the star of the reality show the apprentice the author robert swartwood aust we sure the letter is really that big or a trump's hands just that small on the tokyo bureau chief for the washington post
9:25 pm
and if i feel tweeted when it comes to nuclear weapons and now the envelopes size apparently matters trumps not the only one who got supersized mail-o. kim sent a similar letter to the south korean president when he held talks with the north korean leaders sister cheering the winter olympics. well in all the developments u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross is in beijing for talks aimed at easing tensions over tariffs that of heightened fears of a global trade war is it comes off the trump administration renewed threats to reduce in the nearly three hundred forty billion dollars trade deficit between america and china florence louis has more from beijing. this is the third round of trade talks between china and the u.s. the world's two largest economies and the idea is to avoid a full blown trade war but the events of the past few days have complicated matters first up you have the about face by the u.s. when it comes to the imposition of tariffs on chinese goods now having initially said it will put these tariffs on hold while talks are ongoing the u.s.
9:26 pm
a few days ago said it would push ahead of tariffs now this has left chinese and u.s. officials in a state of uncertainty and without much confidence that whatever they agree on this weekend will actually amount to anything and then of course second is the issue of the u.s. imposing tariffs on steel an element in products on the e.u. mexico and canada this has angered and alienated its allies it will make it harder for the u.s. to find other countries to come together and confront what they say are unfair chinese trade practices because many of these countries have the same grouses they complain of intellectual property theft by chinese companies allowing them to benefit unfairly they complain of chinese overproduction flooding world markets with cheap steel and aluminum products and then the u.s. by going ahead and imposing these terrorists on its allies it's bypassed world trade organization procedures and acted unilaterally which means it's making it even more difficult to confront china especially at
9:27 pm
a time when china has said it supports the rules based trading system centered around the world trade organization you know at the news hour live from london much more still ahead. government forces in kashmir fight tear gas to shotgun pellets at the funeral of a protester run over by a military vehicle. as harken season starts again puerto ricans mourn the thousands thought to have been killed by hurricane maria. and in sport maria sharapova is in with a chance of winning a third french open title and will be here without. sorry. welcome back as we look at the weather across the levant and western parts of asia we've got a frontal system moving down through the stars across the caspian sea and that's going

9:32 pm
a chord with people. because they're issued to prison so very clear and straightforward curious of injustice committed by those that are inside she was a very. different young. you wanted to help people she. did provide and she wasn't violent it with us and because if so. since the beginning of the peaceful marches in gaza she engaged in her own clan people who were injured she did her best to have as many people as she can although she was injured one slightly she continued to do this were and she was very committed. and on trial you did have the duplexes as you know and that is that only i mean at that peaceful nonviolent it was looters many of them were shocked by it as they go and reach them and have them with the issue of the. violence
9:33 pm
and that they were very clear in their rights courts to medical people who are going to and she upwards d.z.o.'s injure people and the army chopper shot term impact chest. there was nor justification whatsoever for that and it's don't it's not but to shoot such a beautiful young girl was just that i include people who are injured i'm just words that are internal that it leaves the pain. in my opinion the kissel sort of sound and it but it's sense now that yellow deals the situation in palestine. that i know between i'm often asked the between you or press people and the not between occupied people and an occupier between people who want life and peace and justice and health and those who are going to deprive them clonmore. of course the united nations and the international community have condemned the disproportionate
9:34 pm
use of force that have been calls for israel to use more restraint. israel says that they've only opened fire on people trying to breach the border they now say that there will be an investigation into. jars death do you. what are your expectations of that inquiry. we're move been through this many times before and when new young and innocent people who have killed both those that are you are me and none of the investigations ever sure out sean that there was a sponsible even when there were cases of the moving that there was a crime the ruling was very quiet a little sore in my opinion this is not a disproportionate use of force this is a criminal use of force what happened to the us and city of the. for our volunteers full of medics there was nothing but a lot of crime because you cannot attack people who are unarmed what totally
9:35 pm
civilian who are clearly marked as medical people and just shoot them. but in one thousand nine hundred sixty hour i myself was shot in the same way by a sniper who know as their own. person who has lived in a sniper shot with rice and there was more investigation and nothing happened to that sniper so we don't pass those that it isn't what happened there's a workaround and what we demand is an international investigation that is independent from israeli government and army what we demand is international protection for our civilian people. and it was such an irony that while i was there and was being shot and killed nikki haley from the united states was brothers were defending the decision and the security council to provide protection for the instance can i ask you very briefly what the palestinian leadership can do to alleviate the situation is anything but being done to expedite the process of
9:36 pm
getting more medical supplies and equipment into gaza so that hospitals can treat the wounded. what we need isn't a national protection this is something that the palestinian authority cannot provide because it does not. passages to go does not control the borders the palestinian authority it centers on that will keep action what we need is an international intervention to enforce on israel the international law to prevent those israeli soldiers and government from continuing to attack but still use opinions what that it goes on in the west bank could in jerusalem or anywhere else what we need is an international intervention and if israel does not want to abide by international law it should be punished with the boycott divestment and sanctions like the south africa that system was punished well thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us on this. animal and. thank you.
