countries of straitened tit for tat tariffs on goods worth up to one hundred fifty billion dollars each for hillary has more from beijing. u.s. trade officials arrived in beijing for the third round of talks with their chinese counterparts with big plans and big ambitions they were hoping to pin down the chinese with a greater commitment to increase. purchases of u.s. agricultural and energy products they were hoping to persuade the chinese to enter into long term contracts and they were hoping to discuss greater protection of intellectual property rights but in the end not only were they not able to achieve these china appears to have fired a warning shot back at the u.s. chinese state media is reporting but china is now and saying that any agreement reached between the u.s. and chinese during these trade talks will be void if the u.s. goes ahead and imposes trade sanctions including tariffs now this is clearly a reference to the u.s.

about face that took place just several days before the trade talks started the u.s. had said it's going to push ahead with tariffs on chinese goods imposing twenty five percent tariff on as much as fifty billion dollars worth of goods but the final list of products to be announced on the fifteenth of june and this is despite having said that terrorists would be put on hold while trade talks are ongoing now and some analysts had said that that was perhaps a strategy to strengthen u.s. hand at negotiations but china is now clearly saying that it's not going to be pushed around in these trade talks the purpose of these trade talks isn't just about reducing the trade deficit between the u.s. and china it's also a ball avoiding the possibility of a tariff wall but if there is no agreement between the two sides the world's two largest economies and the possibility of this trade dispute escalating into an all out trade war could become even closer in which case it could be detrimental for

not just the u.s. and china but also the global economy so just china that's in dispute with washington over tariffs france has warned the u.s. it has only a few days to avoid a trade war leaving it up to washington to deescalate tensions finance ministers from the world's largest economies say they're concerned and disappointed by president trump's new terror. on steel and aluminum imports from europe canada and mexico but as john hendren reports from washington 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 in 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 it takes verifiable and irreversible steps towards denuclearization defense secretary james mattis was

indebt times so show it so derry we created a system exclusion we created a system of respect you've been divisive of human rights and. fear and making people feel socially in here is something that is creating some kind of big targets i would say making migrant slaves dark it's making scapegoats happen and women by the use as a political battlefield again in advance i would say that this is creating some kind of a political war as ditties. it shouldn't have space in slovenia anymore in twentieth century. coming up we'll look at how a year long blockade against cattle is proving fruitful for neighbors like iran plus. they told me that after training i will start to receive money. how and i saw linked groups trying to recruit children that fights back in the shattered parts of the philippines.

in the years since the blockade was imposed or production of national product including medicine and food grown exponentially we have built on our bilateral relation and have explored the new promising partnership to grow and develop the crisis created shortages in food supply chain iran was one of the countries that stepped in to help fill the gap but as a report stating 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 rani says profits are not the only reason exporters are keen to supply cut there's markets in the us coming up i'll buy me one i'm saying this from the bottom of my heart we 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 kataria 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 qatar 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 ability be served as iran's ambassador to qatar he says both countries can cooperate on much more but he admits for qatar the appearance of siding too openly with iran is tricky. but there is home to the largest american air base in the middle east and u.s. central command headquarters cozying up to iran also further anger blockading countries escalate tensions even more. because those leaders the last year has been

a delicate balancing act but whatever happens next people living in perth are unlikely to produce the neighbors willing to lend a hand when they needed it most. modest choose day 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 eighteen hundred g.m.t. on tuesday here on al-jazeera. israeli warplanes have attacked the gaza strip after rockets were fired from there the israeli military targeted fifteen hamas sites including weapons stores hamas hasn't claimed responsibility for launching the rockets which the israelis say were intercepted tension escalated between hamas and israel after intense exchanges of fire last week the worst in four years harri forces move from gaza city. well this latest exchange between israel and fighting factions here inside gaza 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 committee were fired into into israeli territory during that period and sixty five targets here inside gaza were

struck so 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. the 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 went receiving an education it's because of an ongoing conflict poverty and discrimination against girls it's the first time the rate for those of school has encreased since two thousand and two adel horror is unicef's afghanistan representative she explains what's behind the worsening focus i think it's also society it is also related to security because in the areas where there is active fighting war and where there is conflict it is very difficult for the parents to send the troops to school because they i want it about that on their way to school . something happened 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 society and the attitudes. we find. who up to the end of the primary school but then after that

city southern philippines. the leaning tower of pisa is well known but baghdad also has a. tendency to tilt it's not the only heritage building which is suffering from maintenance and neglect as a celebration of aid reports from the iraqi capital the sixteenth sixty the year when the busier mosque was built but this is all that's left of it the cracks in the arches and fading tiles are reminders of the golden days of baghdad this is the victorian facade of the iraqi capital old governorate building it was damaged during the two thousand and three u.s. invasion and has been abandoned since this is part of the ottoman military complex on the banks of the tigris river it's a decrypt state symbolizes the degree of iraq's rich cultural heritage. and many people nowadays are not aware of the importance of these sites and the

reason is that recently iraq has faced violence and internal fighting which led to a weak government the conscription zone baghdad's old minaret are feeding the caliphs mosque compound is over a thousand years old built by the caliphs after centuries of war than invasions the minaret is the only original structure left and it didn't always lean the government to seal the mosque because of the dangerously rapid tilting of the minaret but there are no real efforts being made to repair it the government's priorities are the provision of basic services and with a struggling economy preservation efforts inevitably take a back seat there are no worshipers in the compound which is hundreds of years old because of the fear that the minaret could fall on the whole these days when people pray they do it in the courtyard spiderwebs have replaced the curtains inside and we are told there are no books left in the library upstairs. we need to

value these sites not only there were legist ones but also historic sites like the assyrian and babylonian sites it would help to strengthen the national identity and that iraqi national identity has been blurred by years of sectarian strife corruption and mismanagement these two domes envelop the symbolic eternal flame of the iraqi flag this monument built in the one nine hundred eighty s. used to represent iraqis now many government departments claim ownership of the multi-million dollar landmark the martyrs monument was used by u.s. forces and then the iraqi military at the base like much else of iraq's heritage its museum and library were also looted these days the halls remain empty and the general public is not allowed in. rich tapestry of ancient and modern history is fading fast. many people are afraid that unless action is taken to protect and preserve it it could be lost forever some of the job al-jazeera back that.
