i guess mounting in jordan against proposed tax increases has been another day of protests calling for the government to resign the international monetary fund is backing the tax rises to reduce the country's national debt and a hoax to reports. that the largest anti-government rallies in five years in what's regard as one of the most stable middle east countries the protest movement initially started by trade unions has swelled nationwide and today to show their frustration i. asked my mum how local citizens now have no power the searching for the children's daily food women are looking containers to feed their kids and every day we are surprised by rising prices and taxes. the problem is not just with 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 jordan is one of the most expensive. countries in the region and on the top of the words two with no resources that i'm just with the people of jordan . the increase in sales tax and employees being taxed more has infuriated the protestors and they want the government to resign. king abdullah has stood by prime minister hani milky despite calls to fire him the king's been instead calling for talks between m.p.'s and government ministers but moki is under international pressure to reform jordan's economy and cut its thirty seven billion dollar debt that is equivalent to ninety five percent of g.d.p. . the international monetary fund approved a seven hundred million loan to jordan two years ago to lower public debt and increase growth jordan relies heavily on financial help from the u.s. u.a.e. and until recently saudi arabia which has cut funding king abdullah is a key u.s.

ally in the strategically important region which borders syria israel and iraq regional time or has worsened the kingdom's money problems and it sheltering one point four million syrian refugees that according to the hashemite government and those refugees look no closer to returning home. it's also has a large population of refugees from the war in iraq plus two million palestinian refugees have settled in the kingdom. the king recently reversed plans to raise petrol prices foreign protests and these latest protests against austerity measures are further demands for change kind of works out as their use of it is the director of the development economics program at the doha institute he says the jordan's been struggling with unemployment and poverty and has been affected by crises in neighboring nations for decades. i don't think the people of jordan had it too good for too long with unemployment rates around the twenty percent more labor force

participation with high poverty rates. the people of jordan will not go to the streets if things were so nice for them saw. with a very bad distribution of income without enough income of course. that the price hike in fuel prices and raising taxes is actually the wrong policy at this time for an economy like jordan's this wouldn't have contractionary effect for the sending the livelihood of the people the main problem actually is that jordan has been at the crossroads of conflict for so many years starting from nine hundred forty eight with palestinian refugees on today with syrian refugees so jordan is always bombarded with refugees from all countries around the net and that puts extra pressure on their resources which means budget deficit is global anger and outrage towards the united sates of the imposition of tariffs first talks between the u.s.

and china ended on sunday but no deals were announced beijing however warned the white house that any deals produce won't take effect if donald trump goes ahead with tariffs on chinese goods john hendren has the latest from washington. u.s. president donald trump sent a trade representative to china and he came back with nothing wilbur ross the u.s. commerce secretary had gone there trying to reduce the three hundred seventy five billion dollars trade deficit the u.s. has with china he wanted a target of reducing that amount by two hundred billion but the chinese refused to set a specific number then ross insisted on raising the subject of u.s. tariffs he said the u.s. would increase tariffs on some fifty billion dollars of chinese products by twenty five percent in vats is where things went bad his chinese counterpart said there would be no agreement on anything as long as those tariffs went forward and that

kind of mirrors what the u.s. is doing in the g seven negotiations ahead of a meeting later this week in canada in that case those countries are angry over u.s. steel and aluminum tariffs i suppose we got a little insight into president trump's negotiating style from the former head of n.b.c. jeff zucker said that when trump was negotiating after his first season of the apprentice where he was getting fifty thousand dollars an episode he had asked for a million dollars but in the end and did up accepting sixty thousand dollars an episode so if the other world leaders get that kind of a deal they might be satisfied at the end of this week but right now many nations including china across the globe are upset with the u.s. on tariffs. at least thirty five refugees and migrants died when their boat sank near southern tunisia it happened off sparks province sixty seven people were rescued there were around one hundred eighty migrants and refugees on the boat human traffickers are increasingly using tunisia as

a launching pad for trying to get to europe and nine refugees and migrants including six children died when the boat sank off the keys southern coast five people were rescued one is still missing europe has been struggling with a huge increase of refugee and migrant arrivals since twenty fifteen more than a million of them have tried to reach the continent through turkey or by sea people in slovenia are voting in the early part of mentor parliamentary election today the former prime minister a young as you hampshire leads an anti immigrant immigration party that's predicted to win the most seats but some parties of ruled out working with him to form a government immigration is a major issue after hundreds of thousands of refugees pass through slovenia on their way to western europe will have only his a slovenian political activist who says that the country is divided between conservative voters drawn towards populism and anti immigrant slogans and those who

oppose such views. letters to expostulate for example hungary each of the great all of the country's main greek sunia are foreseeing perhaps some of the war there are still vote for at the mention of former prime minister but being pointed at stimulus has been divided into two sides from the ninety ninth these are conservative side and on the progressive side after to turn as an eight conservatives radicalised into one big major political party already mentioned but the rest of the game and i would dare to say that we need to go again to require the gathering of the civil society organizations just like to read named against the politics of fear showed that there was a heart to citizens in slovenia and that is to advance radicalization against revitalization and i hope that is what we saw in the day of the election assuming at it's not a first time that we are facing

a migrant flow let us remember during the balkan war after the balkan war we had two thousand people fleeing severely hour or even staying in any debt times sonia show it's so derry we created a system of inclusion we created a system of respect you've been divisive of human rights and. explore fear and making people feel socially in here is something that is creating some kind of fake targets i would say making migrant think stark it's making scapegoats happen and women. as a political battlefield again in advance i would say that this is creating some kind of political or is there to. it shouldn't have been you know any more in twenty first century in neighboring italy the country's new populist leaders promising to create jobs and expel migrants the coalition of the anti establishment

five star movement that anti immigration immigration league policy was sworn in on friday as. reports now from rome for many italians it's a marriage of convenience. a bride arrives for how wedding at a church in central rome a ceremony marking the beginning of her new life ahead as part of a married couple. elsewhere in the city there is another partnership being celebrated a political one brought about by a coalition between italy's anti establishment parties headed by the five star movement commemorating their place at the head of a new government and we're not very different in anything obvious that there are in common but for those that are not in common we have created this agreement. every day that both of us know that if one is doing the opposite the other one can make the government fall the irony is not lost on the party faithful it is in one sense

a marriage of convenience between two anti establishment rivals that want to revolutionize the political landscape especially where the e.u. is concerned even if it means compromise there are high hopes but for some the decision by five star to enter into a coalition with the far right is being seen as a betrayal of the coals as little common ground between the true question is whether they can stick it out for better or worse and even the promise of 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. i hope go the spine of course i will. but is it possible we'll see we're going to see it and for supporters of the leg up they know that hard work lies ahead finding common ground but they think that it can be done and. 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 bride and groom make their vows the richer for poorer but as in love and in politics there are no guarantees as to what lies ahead. al-jazeera rome we're going to weather update next here on al-jazeera then. you know they told me that after training i will start to receive money. i sold a group is trying to recruit children as it fights back in a shot of the philippines and the leaning tower of baghdad calls for a pay iraq's crumbling heritage. a falling on deaf ears.

raining as monsoon rain in bangladesh of course dupree monsoon heat still exists in but your profession back towards central pakistan in the middle to high forty's. three big stories generate thousands of headlines clutter each with different angles from different perspectives we. this is the only evidence that russia was responsible for this separate the spin from the facts that's why on god's plan the misinformation from the journalism the issues here go far beyond one data mining company and one election with the listening post on al-jazeera.

deputy prime minister of qatar says that his country is stronger than it was one 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 year qatar 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 have grown exponentially we have built on our bilateral relation and have explored the new and promising partnership to grow and develop when the crisis created children is in contrast food supply chain

iran was one of the countries that stepped in to help it fill the gap but as i was here is the reports now deepening ties between the two nations could eventually 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 me 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'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 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 qatar 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 of the listener obese 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. also further countries 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. but you say this week is the first anniversary of the beginning of that blockade we'll have a special program on tuesday looking at the political economic and human impact of

the crisis that's at eighteen hundred hours g.m.t. this tuesday here on al-jazeera israeli warplanes of attack targets in gaza after rockets were fired from that the israeli military said that it targeted fifteen hamas sites including weapon stores hamas hasn't claimed responsibility for launching rockets which the israelis say intercepted force that has more for us 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 nearly three point seven million af. and 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 weren't receiving an education of any kind it's because of ongoing conflict poverty and discrimination against girls it's the first time the rate for those out of school has increased since two thousand and two adele is unicef's afghanistan representative she explains what's behind those worsening figures. i

think it's both societies 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 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 so sorry the attitudes . we find. to up to the end of the primary school but then after that once they reach their puberty because they are who female teachers the majority of children. are really good so that's mainly that is why we have this large number of girls who just army commanders in the southern philippines say the government linked to isolate regrouping at a tricking children into joining the fight. alan duggan reports now from the ruined

because the reserve did not die with the liberation of. the philippine military accuses the moutier of playing on the emotions of children especially those traumatized by the battle for morale we like fifteen year old ricky who lost his parents in the war now he lives alone moving from one evacuation camp to the next. and i don't know who to trust anymore i don't go. it's a sentiment shared by many young boys displaced by the war aid groups say they are the perfect recruit spur armed groups like them out and they need to be protected unless there are for hope of a brighter future they could be part of the hundreds of children in the southern philippines who are falling victim to the disciple of poverty and violence. jim
