zira. i know i'm mary i'm the mozzie this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes u.s. and chinese trade talks and with a warning from beijing that all deals are off if washington imposes sanctions. protests continue to roll in jordan is anger grows over income tax and price hikes exit polls put the anti immigrant s.t.'s party in the lead in slovenia's on the mantra election. more than fifty migrants drowned and dozens are rescued off turkey

in tunisia as they try to reach europe. in sport brazilian struck in a more makes the perfect return from injury three months after breaking his foot he's back scoring goals just in song for the world cup. trade talks in beijing have wrapped up with china warning the u.s. that any agreements between the two will be off if trump goes ahead with his threatened tariffs u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross has been holding talks with chinese leaders in beijing earlier in the day he praised his meetings with china's vice premier as friendly and frank and that's despite the two countries threatening to attack tariffs on goods worth up to one hundred fifty billion dollars each let's go live now to john hendren in washington and it looks like china is putting the ball finally in the u.s. court is a troubling ministration likely to go ahead with tariffs our might they by that

time a bit. well mary i'm the trump administrator and right now is sticking by its line that they will press forward with those tariffs this began as a cooperative negotiation one in which china said had agreed that it would reduce its trade surplus with the united states but then on tuesday the u.s. said it would go ahead with twenty five percent sanctions on a broad range of chinese economic and. electronic products fifty billion dollars worth of them that particularly hit china where they live because they are trying to develop their own electronics industry they have a program called china two thousand and twenty five in which they would try to build their own domestic industry but the u.s. has been accusing china of stealing technology and of forcing companies to hand over their technology in order to operate in china and these tariffs would be part of sanctions against china will china said if that happens nothing that happens in

this meeting will be enacted by china so right now there is a standoff on both sides where the u.s. is insisting it will go forward with its tariffs and the chinese are saying it will not go forward with anything to reduce that trade surplus it has of about three hundred seventy five billion dollars with the u.s. well china is one thing but we know that trade penalties are also affecting america's traditional allies not least canada with the prime minister just insured does being very outspoken about this. that's right the trumpet ministration has been talking tough and has been pursuing this america first policy on the one hand dispatching wilbur ross to china on the other hand dispatching the treasury secretary stephen moore nugent to canada head of this week's g. seven summit and their people are irate you could see in the video that animated discussion of people talking about this issue and several people there have said that the dominant issue will not be the global economic expansion that it was

expected to be that now it's going to be all about tariffs and u.s. protectionism justin trudeau went on american television today and this is what he had to say first of all we're putting the same kinds of tariffs exactly on on steel and aluminum coming from the united states into canada to be directly reciprocal but we are also putting a number of tariffs on consumer goods finished products for which canadians have easy alternatives one of the either made in canada or made from another partner with the tariffs one of the truths about tariffs is they drive up costs for consumers and on top of that these tariffs are going to be hurting american workers and canadian worker the idea that we are somehow a national security threat to the united states is quite frankly insulting and unacceptable. insulting and unacceptable are strong words from one of america's

closest allies and canada has said as he said there they will have retaliatory tariffs on a broad range of products that's on top of the retaliatory tariffs that europe is talking about initiating and that would include such iconic american products as harley-davidson motorcycles oranges from florida a bunch of products that are manufactured or made in republican american states designed to hit donald trump and his republican party just ahead of their midterm elections making people in those states unhappy and the talk at this summit the g seven ahead of the meeting later this week is really that this could slow down the global economic expansion because of all of these countries institut retaliatory tariffs it's going to slow down commerce all around the world so they're hoping to avert that there are two schools of thought on that one that donald trump is trying to appease his conservative base and show them that he's pursuing america first policies and then we'll back off once he gets some kind of concession the other is

that he could if he doesn't get what he wants he will continue to press forward with sank with these tariffs rather and that that is going to raise talent tariffs all around the world and that could threaten the global economy well thank you very much john hendren with the latest from washington let's get some analysis in the studio now because joining me is economist denis novi is an associate professor at university of florida thank you very much for speaking to us so another round of u.s. china trade negotiations appear to have ended in failure or at least a great deal of uncertainty if the u.s. tariffs are imposed do you see a trade war taking shape between the u.s. and china china will they retaliate that's clear china doesn't like to be bullied the european union doesn't that it's the people who die the whether you want to call the trade war noughts is another matter i think the big issue is will the international framework for conducting type. all this the hold up that's been conducted and builds up by the united states off to world war two and it will hold

up that's the big question and of course the implications here are somewhat complicated because obviously you have countries like canada mexico china the e.u. saying that they are preparing retaliatory measures but what are the implications of the united states doing this on the pretext of national security what does that mean. well the united states are just trying to dish out a few political favors to some particular constituents now whether that's going to work on not is another question and the implications are that consumers all over the world will pay for it the united states impose tariffs that means u.s. consumers people who go shopping in the supermarket they will have to pay for it or people who want to buy a car or anything that uses steel as an input they will have to pay and likewise if there are tariffs retaliations in other countries and consumers in other countries will have to pay for it as well can you describe this domino effect we're likely to

see from this beyond retaliatory measures the impact that it could have down the line on business confidence and the supply chains how damaging could it be for china and the u.s. it's very damaging for supply chains in fact actually u.s. businesses in particular have come out with unusually strong voice saying this is not what we want it definitely creates a lot of uncertainty and the picture that is emerging is very clear that the united states and of this administration is no longer a reliable partner even canada which as i could be the closest ally of the united states has now been seen as a threat to national security and clearly the european union canada mexico china i'm not going to accept that and they will try to form their own trade partnerships leaving the united states out what is is there any economic logic to enforcing trade penalties against allies and adversaries alike no i mean the only logic is

that if somebody in this case united states lashes out you want to retaliate because you don't want to encourage that kind of behavior overall it's a lose lose from an economic point of view there is no logic it's a bewildering strategy thank you appreciate your perspective and an assist on this economist from university of war dennis nothing. when i was been another night of angry protests across jordan after the government and unions failed to end the standoff over a new tax will demonstrate as a calling for the prime minister to resign after he refused to withdraw the law which would significantly hike taxes on employees and companies and hawks as mill. is 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 as to damien's show their frustration. asked

by what we learn how local while citizens now have no power the searching for the children's daily food women are looking in garbage containers to feed their kids and every day we are surprised by rising prices and taxes the problem is not just the tax well 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 wards two with no resources that's unjust to the people of jordan. the increase in sales tax and employees being tax move has infuriated the protestors and they want the government to resign. king abdullah has stood by prime minister hani mulkey 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 term 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 for him protests and these latest protests against austerity measures

of closed in the parliamentary elections insignia and the exit polls put the right wing anti immigration party led by the former prime minister this young in the lead with twenty four percent of the vote but he's not expected to win enough seats to form a government and the other party say they won't enter a coalition with him because of his anti immigrant stance slovenia's center left party led by a former comedian has secured twelve percent of the vote according to exit polls. joins us live now from lubyanka so tell us more about what the exit polls are showing. yes as we speak the official results are pouring in here read the central electoral commission and the but they are not changing the broader picture broth by the exit poll you mention merriam by which is the s. and. right wing party gaining most of the seats in the

parliament but short of a majority it seems. really behind according to this exit poll even with his coalition number one. dark night he will be ten or fifteen seats behind the majority which is forty six in slovenia the parliament has ninety seats up to now not so many political parties who said we are going to form a new coalition government with. only one by now and it will gain up to seven seats in the parliament so very uncomfortable position for mr asher who is experienced politician here in slovenia in twenty eight years of living in a democracy bartz as you've mentioned in the other party is willing to take part in his coalition government he will be probably summoned by the president of the rebar

bleak and asked to form a coalition government but he fails then. the second one is shot it's at least it's a new party new emerging from kind of level here in slovenia and marion shallots will then have to chide to form a new coalition a leftist coalition parts consisted of five different parties which will be very interesting but it closed. very tight election result and we have to be very careful with the official results as they. the rain and it the sense is that the results reflect something of a trend we're seeing all across europe the two parties currently in the lead one a far right party the other populist tell us more about why these two parties appeal to voters that. when you speak

to ordinary people here all the professors and is that everybody would say that you know the refugee crisis or migrant crisis brought up to the campaign by mr young is not something of. importance it's not the crucially important for citizens of slovenia but as i said mr ashley is a very well experienced politician here who just you know played with the sentiment and he used this question of you know immigration as i should remind you that slovenia was only transit point only people from being fully fleeing their homes in the middle east just travelling through through slovenia to cerm in the other parts and he played well seems so plain the sentiment and i should should remind you also that there are analysis of this campaign saying that he brought to the complaint scaremongering for you even xenophobia and also many people who say mr

young this is a very close friend of the prime minister of hungary is that if they're not going. thank you very much sasha delage bringing us all the latest on that election taking place in slovenia. tunisia's defense ministry says it's recovered forty six bodies after a boat carrying refugees and migrants sank near the port city of. responding to a distress call the navy and national guard rescued another sixty eight of the people on board to nisha is an increasingly popular departure point for illegal boats heading across the mediterranean to southern europe and in a separate incident nine people including six children have died after their speed boat sank while crossing from turkey to the greek islands five people were rescued by the coast guard and fisherman meanwhile italy's new interior minister has vowed that sicily will no longer be what he called europe's refugee camp the far right

leader made the comments in salo one of the main arrival points for refugees and migrants making the illegal crossing from north africa one hundred fifty eight people landed there on friday after being rescued on the mediterranean salvini says his plan is to deport irregular migrants are not hardline but common sense. we're going to these are emergency centers my interest is to work in order to reduce the number of people arriving and increase the number of deportations because it isn't easy to do nor is it possible to do it a quarter of an hour but in the coming weeks we want to give you signals to cut costs and court migrant detention durations or solve any has been in sicily campaigning for the lipase ahead of local elections there this month so let's get more in this room sonicare go in rome what's been the reaction to sell these comments. well for a start even though there were a collection of supporters and a handful also were protesters. visit. what is interesting is that

reaction from. when asked about his visit there is that really in the day to day immigration and the issue of refugees is not really the foremost issue that people there have on the ground they're far more concerned about their day to day lives they're far more concerned about the economic situation they're far more concerned about corruption at local government level as well as maffia crimes which they have to deal with in the region still that they say has been more of an issue rather than the issues that mr salvini has come out with his rhetoric that he has said that he would try and take money away from the whole system of the reception centers in the asylum system the processing and try and divert it to try and repatriate as many people as they possibly

can who do not fit the requirements to stay here how he is going to do that he has not given any details and this is the issue that mr selby has what he talks a very good talker which really appeals to his supporters and perhaps those who do seem fatigued by the refugee crisis and italy's and the burden which italy has faced because of this and what they see is the lack of help from the european union as well it is a convincing argument however this kind of system here it does require funds to be diverted but he has not given any concrete plans as to how he's going to do that or how he would raise the money to be able to quicken the deportation system so this would presumably be his. image or not tick as it were to serve his strong initial role as an interior minister there to

try and mark out this this immigration issue which he has complained so strongly on but of course really we do not know exactly how mr sterling is going to be contending with this in the months to come of course there are going to be far more crossings that take place for more people are going to be landing in italy and whether mr salimi is actually going to be able to stick to his word and be strong against them of brussels as as he is he is so often claimed to be really that remains to be seen and we really don't know exactly how he's going to be able to practically deal with that thank you very much with all the latest from rome sunny gago. meanwhile five star leader says italy's new government will overhaul the last administration's controversial labor reforms but he didn't explain how the jobs act made it easier for big firms to fire people and offer them tax incentives to hire permanent workers on new less protected terms it aimed to create jobs and help young people employed on insecure short term contracts but it had mixed results

with most of the new jobs created still temporary spain's new prime minister pedro sanchez has got to work on putting together a minority government he's hoping to rule until two thousand and twenty when the parliamentary term ends but a right wing group which broke away from the people's party of ousted prime minister mariano rajoy is currently holding a rally in madrid calling for early elections david chaytor is there and joins us live now david what have we been hearing around. well merriam lets a rally of about between six hundred in one thousand people here which is relatively small but nevertheless well attended it was called a small coterie but the opinions expressed here groovy reflect a large swathe of right wing opinion across the whole of the country that the ousting of money and little boy amounted to. constitutional law they believe

there should be fresh elections and elections as soon as possible now federal science course has only a i know your seats hundred fifty in the chamber and so his hope of staying home for another clinton here isn't completely with. a very very shaky ground and there's been another development during the course of the day that's one of the people who helped in the party put down most of the left wing the extreme left wing party put them most who helped to oust. were wanting some representation in his cabinet which is due to start deliberating tomorrow but ministers and close associates within the socialist party say there's no way but they most are going to get into the cabinet and that is the first signal that there's not going to be an easy ride for pedro sanchez in forming a minority government in so few seats it's really going to be a case in that a call on the catalans of the boss this is not something that's going to be stable

everyone here wants an election and i think many of the pundits now think that that's exactly what it's going to get because the simply is not realistic to expect that the president says you can't keep this together that's right he is leading a minority government is going to be difficult to get things done but beyond the rally and the people around you now david how much appetite is there in the country for elections. well they want to they want an election they want to make sure that whoever is in charge of the country whoever is prime minister is not reliant on just eighty four votes that's a tiny minority of the votes in spain they want a real election they wanted now they want to make sure that whoever is the prime minister has much more support within the country and it's very clear the pederast senses does not have that support of the socialist policies do not have the broad

support of the whole of the country so they want to be elections many of the right wing throughout the country want the elections and i think many analysts to me realize that the instability that this is creating is going to be no good for spain just by the fact that it is doing extremely well in economic terms compared to the rest of europe unemployment is still very very high especially amongst the youth so they want real policies they want a real budget they want real measures taken and it just doesn't appear that the mathematics the right political look at their strategy is to come through with what the people want to thank you very much david. it's a strong trend. london is marking one year since a deadly van a knife attack at london bridge prime minister to resign may and mayor city conn were among those taking part in a service that cathedral for language close to the scene eight people were killed

a group at night to show that you know well beyond hatred to be bothered rather than trying so division within people. shows what happens when it's really also shows the good things. go for all that has to be poked a year on and the u.k.'s national threat level remains severe meaning the possibility of another attack is regarded as being highly likely the head of britain's foreign intelligence service m i six has described the threats from iceland eisel inspired groups as being unprecedented london has recovered a market is as busy as it's always been but the cost of keeping london and the rest of the u.k. safe is very high indeed and the threats hasn't gone away. al-jazeera loved it so i have for this hour. called steroid use plastic waste as a whale which washed up in thailand is found to have eighteen bags in its stomach.

transporting two thousand barrels to the coast about a thousand kilometers away it will take roughly ten days to get there and months before all seventy thousand barrels in storage arrive for export it's the beginning of a pilot program to see how the international market reacts before full production is expected to start in a few years so it would be legal if the. manager of resources. let it. all in another natural resources. countries good. it's estimated about seven hundred fifty million barrels of oil lie beneath this dry region home to some of the poorest and most marginalized people in the country trucking the oil from here will not be easy or cheap one of the big problems is dealing with the bad food from here like construction is now weekly going want to make sure that this truck get to their destination safely and on time

unfortunately is down to. sustainable production use of plastic and our treatment of it as a disposable material plastic by its nature doesn't break down in the environment it's very persistent and i think the problem is that we use it for a very short part of its long time and then it joins the waste stream where it gets out into the environment and we forget about it but of course it's still there it's still there for decades if not longer to come and it's now become a globally widespread problem causing issues for marine wildlife especially right where around the world. in is this problem getting worse is there anything people can do to alleviate the problem. well the problem is definitely getting worse because we still are producing more and more plastic there are various estimates put somewhere in the region of a million tons of plastics into the sea every year some regions of the world have

a bigger issue than the others but it's a problem that faces us all and unless we can get to grips with this problem sure. stop using so much plastic and stop treating it as a disposable material then we're not going to solve the problem we can't go out and clean up the oceans unfortunately to a point where like this and many other species because of plastic may be looking just the same as a piece of food and that's why they end up taking seventy of these things in it so it's the quantities of plastic that we're using it's the lack of infrastructure and waste management schemes that efficiently deal with that plastic when images like this emerge tragic images of this creature being killed by plastic and. you know that these scenes of it having you know vomited up five plastic bags as it was being rescued does this do you find this sort of thing makes

a difference to how people think and understand about this. i think what at least i hope it makes it. to have people perceive the problem of double knew about it i mean it's a very shocking statistic eighty bags eight kilograms of plastic in the stomach of what. i look well but it's not surprising unfortunately because it's just come from the fact that we produce so much plastic that we use for a very short amount of time we use some in the region of a trillion or more plastic bags every year and probably less than one percent of the. being recycled the rest of it is out there in waste dumps or getting into waterways and getting into the sea so i think that with all of these tragic events people are becoming more and more aware of the fact that there's a problem but i think what we now need is very concerted action by god that we've seen in some parts of the world we have to see in other parts of the world to take this problem to control that source to stop using single use plastics and get

smarter about materials that we do. as well as having proper systems in place to go out and recycle those plastic that we still use thank you very much david cental a senior scientist with the greenpeace recession apart trees. 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 found that almost half of all children aged between seven and seven and seventeen were not receiving an education that's because of ongoing conflicts poverty and discrimination against girls the first time the out of school rate has increased since two thousand and two. adele hunter is unicef's afghanistan representative she explains why girls tend to be the ones who miss out on an education. i think it's also society that it is also related to security because in the areas where there is active fight then war and where there is

conflict it is very difficult to send troops to school because they i want it about that on their way to school. something could happen to them even while they are in school so that's one reason the insecurity and the second one which has to do of course with so sorry the attitudes towards so we find that we who up to the end of the primary school but then after that once they reach their puberty because they don't who female teachers the majority of children who grow up from that school are really good so that's mainly that isn't why you have to stop. now it is leaning tower of pisa there is an icon in wild architecture and it's not the only one of its kind baghdad also has a leaning calla but like much of iraq's rich cultural heritage the building is suffering from neglect. they'd reports from baghdad the

block read sixteen sixty the year when there was either 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 government building it was damaged during the two thousand and three u.s. invasion and has been abandoned since this interview was part of the ottoman military complex on the banks of the tigris river it's 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 inscriptions on baghdad's old minaret are feeding. after centuries of an invasion the only original structure left. and it didn't

always lean. the government because of the danger. but there are being made to repair it the government's priorities are the provision of basic services and economy preservation efforts inevitably take a back seat there are no worshipers. because of the fear that it would fall on the whole. they do it in the courtyard spiderwebs have replaced the curtains. and we are told there are no books left in the library upstairs. we need to value the sites not only there were but also historic sites like the a syrian 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. the symbolic eternal flame of the iraqi flag.
