china issues a threat to the u.s. as the two nations hold talks to avoid a trade. and jadedness is al-jazeera live from doha also coming up. the. protests over austerity measures in jordan into a full day in the biggest demonstration there in years. feelings against immigration run high as people in slovenia go to the polls. battle to convince people of the threat of a democratic republic of congo. china

has issued a warning to the united states if it goes ahead with imposing trade tariffs then any agreements to end their dispute will be void u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross has been holding talks with chinese leaders in beijing he said the meeting so far have been quote friendly and frank the two countries of threatened to attack tariffs on goods with up to one hundred fifty billion dollars each on slowing is live for us in beijing so the talks have ended and i believe that not much has been achieved is that correct. that would appear to be correct jane the u.s. command secretary will but one of the main goals of his visit of his the objective was really to persuade the chinese to buy more u.s. products and this will perhaps this will reduce the trade deficit with between china and the u.s. but not only was he not able to pin the chinese down to give

a firm and specific figures to how much the chinese would purchase from the u.s. or even a commitment to enter into longer term contracts but china appears to have fired a warning shot to the u.s. in this trade dispute the noun saying this is through a sin a sin why the state media report that china is now saying that any agreement reached between the u.s. and china during these trade talks will be void if the u.s. goes ahead with trade sanctions including tariffs now this is clearly a reference to the u.s. about face that happened just a couple of days before the trade talks started the u.s. had said it was going to push ahead with twenty five twenty five percent of tyrants on as much as fifty billion dollars worth of chinese goods the final list of products affected by these tires we can expect an announcement to be made on the fifteenth of june so now in china so now this is despite the u.s.

having said that any tires would be put on hold while these trade talks are ongoing now before the trade talks this round of trade talks started some analysts had said this was perhaps a tactic by the u.s. to strengthen their hand at the negotiating table to show that the gloves are off when it comes to discussing trade issues with china but that strategy has clearly failed with china now and saying in no uncertain terms that it's not going to be pushed around does this mean china and the us are closer to a trade war not. well this is something that both sides are very eager to avoid and which is why they've been having these talks this is already the third round of talks and both sides really stand to lose from an all out trade war that's because if a trade war does take place then we're going to see an increase in import prices there probably be a dent in exports as well there could be job losses there could be slower economic growth so this is something that both countries are very eager to avoid other

countries in other parts of the world could also be affected especially those that rely heavily on trade both china and the u.s. because if chinese and u.s. firms are going to be exporting less then these companies that sell to these chinese or u.s. manufacturers are going to see a reduction in their orders and there may be some winners in an all out trade war however countries that step up to fill the void for example if u.s. exporters of soybean are going to be throwing less to china then the soybean exporters in latin america stand to benefit because china may be buying from them instead of from u.s. sellers but having said that an all out trade war is going to see more loses than winners thanks for the affluence. france is also warning the u.s. it has only a few days to avoid another potential trade war finance ministers from some the world's largest economies are concerned and disappointed by president trump's new taxes on steel and aluminum imports but as john henry reports in washington trump

isn't backing down. with days to go before the g. seven summit in canada the economic alliance is fractured the allies are angry and openly talking about a possible trade war we we think this action is inappropriate we think it's absurd to consider canada a security risk the united states and therefore we've taken a targeted and considered approach to retaliation france's foreign minister also says unless the u.s. reverses its new tariffs on steel and aluminum from europe canada and mexico a trade war is just a few days away. at a meeting ahead of this week's g. seven summit in canada u.s. treasury secretary steven minucci and tried to his ways the allies president trump has been very clear in wanting to address trade issues i don't think in any way the u.s. is abandoning its leadership in the global economy quite the contrary i think we have very broad objectives that are that are across

a rebalancing the trade relationship and the trade deficit but he could not offer the one thing u.s. allies want tariff relief trump briefed by minucci and is not backing down taking to twitter on saturday he wrote when you are almost eight hundred billion dollars a year down on trade you can't lose a trade war many economists disagree they say everyone loses in a trade war because a vicious cycle of tariffs makes goods more expensive all around now some u.s. companies say they fear a trade conflict could end the global economic expansion the upcoming g. seven meeting was expected to celebrate our estimates at this point and these are very rough but we would expect another ten to fifteen percent drop and we're also suffering because of the steel tariffs which was the genesis of all this everything we do involves steel our fencing everything else is steel related so we're seeing increased prices from those things too so it is kind of

a domino effect european leaders have already chosen their targets for retaliation iconic american products like harley-davidson motorcycles levi's jeans jack daniels whiskey and florida oranges the next casualties in what could be an escalating trade conflict john hendren al-jazeera washington. the u.s. says north korea will only get sanctions relief after takes verifiable and irreversible steps to denuclearization defense secretary james mattis was speaking on the sidelines of a defense conference in singapore he made his south korean and chinese japanese counterparts to discuss the upcoming summit between u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un. to. be very aware of the good of. all. of. this part of the israeli military says its jets have

citizen right now. his pockets are empty are completely empty. saw the government has to listen. to the sound of the people ask for more polite how local citizens now have no power the searching for food put the children daily women are looking in the rubbish for food and every day we are surprised by rising prices and new taxes. on saturday jordan's king abdullah discuss the protests with his government he says should have to bear the burden of financial reforms alone and he intervene to freeze an increase in fuel prices on friday but prime minister who says ministers must decide whether or not to ditch the tax bill. the deputy prime minister of qatar says it's stronger than it was a year ago when neighboring countries imposed their blockade saudi arabia the united arab emirates bahrain and egypt also cut diplomatic relations on june the

fourth last year denies the accusations of fostering terrorism through the un waving resilience of the people and the sound leadership of his highness the emir we were able to weather the storm and emerge from it stronger than ever before. in the years since the blockade was imposed oil production of national product including medicine and food grown exponentially we have built on or by that's not a nation and have explored the new and promising partnership to grow and develop the crisis lead to shortages in cancer food supply countries such as iran soon stepped in to fill the gap but as a reports deepening ties between the two nations could prove problematic this family run farm near to herat has been selling produce to qatar for more than ten years it used to export two to three truckloads of food to qatar

a week since the blockade began demand has soared to two to three truckloads a day farms like this all over iran have increased production to fill the gap in the country market after saudi arabia the u.a.e. and other countries severed supply routes what caused a shock in qatar is an opportunity for iranian businesses but so do the knee of irani says profits are not the only reason exporters are keen to supply cut those markets in the us time you know. what i'm saying this from the bottom of my heart we'd like katarina people we don't feel that our neighboring countries and islamic countries are separate from us we consider them as a religious brothers and we are happy that this market exists for us to supply it it's embarrassing for us to say that we are helping qatar we are two brothers at one table and are eating from one table and we are happy that today qatari brothers are with us at one table. with business links all over the world the exporter says

the blockade is bad for everyone in the region and hopes it ends soon. you can find a little bit of everything here fruits vegetables basic necessities being grown here in iran and will eventually end up in the homes of people living in. iran in qatar have had serious disagreements over the wars in syria and yemen and iranian support for hezbollah in lebanon but they speak with one voice in support of the palestinian people and share the world's largest natural gas field and in the last year disputes with saudi arabia have brought them closer together. we felt qatar was being treated unfairly so we opened our doors we let qatar airways use our airspace and we used five important ports in the south of the country to send our help relations with qatar have a bright horizon because our qatari friends are well aware about the intentions of our officials. served as iran's ambassador to qatar he says both countries can

cooperate on much more but he admits the appearance of siding too openly with iran is tricky. home to the largest american air base in the middle east and u.s. central command headquarters cozying up to ron could also further anger blockading countries and escalate tensions even more. leaders the last year has been a delicate balancing act but whatever happens next people living in qatar are unlikely to forget the neighbors willing to lend a hand when they needed it most. today marks one year since the blockade began we'll have a special program looking at the political economic and human impact of the crisis that's at eight hundred g.m.t. on tuesday here on al-jazeera. still ahead in the genome they told me that after training i will start to receive money and i select groups trying to recruit children has it fights back in
