china's economy they've long accused china of practicing unfair trade practices which benefit chinese companies and they were hoping also for china to give a more specific commitment on just how much more u.s. agricultural and energy products that the chinese were going to buy from the u.s. now this is of course in relation to what they had agreed to in the second round of talks that took place last month where china had said that they would substantially increase their purchases of these products and they were hoping to pin down the chinese with a more specific figure but in this state but in a report. by the chinese official media sin that doesn't seem to be any specific new agreements instead there is a statement from china saying that any agreement reached between the two sides during these talks will be void if the u.s. pushes ahead with trade sanctions including tariffs now this is very clearly a reference to the u.s.

saying that it will go ahead and impose twenty five percent tariffs on about fifty billion dollars worth of goods with the final list of affected products to be announced sometime and around the fifteenth of june so in about two weeks time when it had initially said that tariffs will be put on hold while these talks are ongoing and before the talks went ahead the third round of talks some analysts had said that that was perhaps a strategy by u.s. officials to strengthen their hand their position ahead of negotiations but that strategy clearly hasn't seemed to work and instead the chinese are now giving very clear signal that they will not be pushed around in these trade talks or a florist with a sixty four a slew either live in beijing but it's not just china that's in this. spews with washington france has warned the u.s. that it has only a few days to avoid a trade war leaving it up to washington to deescalate tensions finance ministers from some of the world's largest economies say that they're concerned and

1:06 pm
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 in florida oranges the next casualties in what could be an escalating trade conflict john hendren al-jazeera washington the u.s. says that north korea will only get sanctions relief after it takes verifiable and irreversible steps towards nuclearize ation defense secretary james mattis was speaking on the sidelines of a defense conference in singapore he met his south korean and japanese counter. to discuss the upcoming summit between u.s. president donald trump north korea's leader kim jong un. we can anticipate progress in the bumpy road to the negotiating. thank you very much maintain

and the protests have been continuing in jordan and the biggest demonstration against the government there in years riot police used tear gas to break up crowds calling for the cabinets resignation in among protesters are angry at ministers for approving a new draft law on tax reforms the policy is influenced by the international monetary fund which jordanians accuse of interference. i consented to. support our brothers that are going down to the street to protest against new taxes because the people are going through a very tough economic fates the problem is not just the tax law the jordanian citizen right now. his pockets are empty are completely empty. saw the government has to listen. to the sound of the people. the citizens now have
1:16 pm
no power the searching for food for the children 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 discussed the protest with his government he says that people shouldn't have to bear the burden of financial reforms alone he intervenes to freeze an increase in fuel prices on friday but his prime minister says that mr smith's to. side whether or not to ditch the tax bill. the israeli military says that its jets have targeted fifteen sites belonging to hamas in the gaza strip it says that two weapons manufacturing and storage sites were hit earlier israel said that it intercepted three rockets fired from gaza sirens were activated in southern israeli areas of the border the gaza strip harry forsett reports now from gaza city . well this latest exchange between israel and fighting factions here inside gaza
1:17 pm
began late on saturday night with mortar fire coming out of the gaza strip israel said that there were four projectiles fired in total three of them intercepted by the iron dome system one of them falling short within gazan territory and overnight we've seen a pretty extensive response from the israeli air force fifteen science they say they've targeted within gaza the latest of those strikes on an empty military training base belonging to the hamas military wing the alka some brigades no casualties on either side but it does come after what happened on tuesday into the early hours of wednesday morning last week when we saw the biggest exchange between the israeli air force and the israeli military and forces here inside gaza since the twenty fourteen war beginning with mortar fire into israeli territory about one hundred projectiles in total according to the imagery were fired into into israeli territory during that period and sixty five targets here inside gaza were struck so
1:18 pm
since then an informal cease fire has been prevailing one which egypt took a major role in trying to secure this seems to be a relatively limited breaking of that situation but obviously there is always the possibility that these things can escalate it does seem according to some that the factions here inside gaza hamas in particular may well be trying to provoke or remind israel of the situation here as we understand there are efforts underway to get some kind of longer term ceasefire brokered between israel and hamas that remains a very difficult objective both sides remain far apart in terms of what they would want in any such deal and in the meantime there's always a possibility for these kinds of exchanges to escalate further than either side would ideally want.
1:19 pm
the deputy prime minister of qatar says that his country is stronger than it was a year ago when neighboring countries imposed an economic blockade saudi arabia the united arab emirates bahrain and egypt also cut diplomatic relations on june fifth last here. denies there accusations that it fosters terrorism. through the unwavering resilience of the top 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 our bilateral relation and have explored the new and promising partnership to grow and develop look at us defense minister has warned against any confrontation with iran he says the twenty the twenty fifteen nuclear deal should be worked on despite
1:20 pm
the us pulling out of it in my own judgments i think the united states is wiser than to intervene in a war with iran maybe more pressure. on maybe it will get to a result but i think the five plus one is a good outcome everyone should keep holding on this. advance with its know without any third party is trying to push the region or some country in the region. to start a war with iran this is will be very dangerous because i am sure no one from the worse than the most fear all countries were you know protected by the western hemisphere will go down a coup with iran maybe they will try to push
1:21 pm
a lot of neighbors to go against iran and this is dangerous all the crisis created shortages in food supply chain iran was one of the countries that stepped in to help fill the gap but as al-jazeera reports now 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 there are the need of a ronnie says profits are not the only reason exporters are keen to supply cut those markets you know last time you're not by me. i'm saying this from the bottom of my
1:22 pm
heart we'd like to repeat all 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 eating from one table and we are happy that today kothari 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
1:23 pm
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 help relations with qatar have a bright horizon. 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. will command headquarters. also further anger blockading countries and escalate tensions even more. 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. which
1:24 pm
is the first anniversary of the beginning of the blockade and we'll have a special program looking at the political economic and human impact of the crisis you can see it at eight hundred g.m.t. on tuesday. rescuers are looking for survivors at a collapsed building in kenya's capital nairobi police say that two people were killed the red cross says four people were pulled alive from the rubble of the five story structure many may have escaped the building when they heard initial cracking noises before it came down. in the belief that it might be i don't think many people have managed little bit of help simply because the government of all of them but you get to look at them and come to. them to. believe. that. nearly

three point seven million afghan children are missing out on school according to a new report from the u.n. children's fund unicef it found almost half of all children aged between seven and seventeen were receiving an education it's because of ongoing conflict poverty and discrimination against girls and it's the first time the out of school rate has increased since the year two thousand and two is unicef's afghanistan representative she joins us now live via skype from kabul good to have you with us adel says some three point seven million kids missing out on school how many of them are girls almost sixty percent so this means. this. out of school as we said is the first time the other school rate has increased since two thousand and two why what are the factors behind it. in fact in two
1:26 pm
thousand and eight started to improve and they reached a peak and then over the past two years because of the they did ration and the security situation children find it more and more difficult to go to school specially into the areas also in afghanistan the proportion of people who are living below the poverty nine has increased over the past five years from thirty nine percent to fifty four percent this year and this of course affects the capacity of the families to send their children to school the taliban in control of all while they're in control of a lot of the country that they're not in control of all of it one of the problems in the areas where they're not in control and girls are not receiving that education is is that to do with the societal implications well i think it's both societies it is also related to security because in the
1:27 pm
areas where there is the fighting war and where there is conflict it is very difficult for the parents to send the goods to school because they are what it about on their way to school they could be attacked something could happen to them even while they are in school so that's one reason the insecurity and the second one has to do of course with the society and the attitudes. and so we find that we go to school up to the end of the primary school but then after that once they reach their puberty because that i'm who female teachers the majority of children will drop from the school i d.-d. goods so that's mainly the reason why we have this large number of stop. girls who look to school ok really good to talk to many thanks indeed for being with us. next here. on the web then.

a new beginning has left some who have supported five star i'm convinced and you see by yourself you're going to mix a couple with a dog and expect that everything goes by i hope you go the spine of course i all but is it possible we'll see we're going to see and for supporters of the leg up party they know that hard work lies ahead finding common ground but they think that it can be done on a spit out if you will for them. it's a challenge which can be overcome i trust the leader of our party and if he says that there are competent people in the ministries then i believe him back at the church the bro. side and groom make their vows richer for poorer but as in love and in politics there are no guarantees as to what lies ahead so i go out jazeera rome doctors in the democratic republic of congo have found seven new suspected cases of a boat that takes the total now to fifty seven since the latest outbreak was
