a million and a half has already been paid to the argentine football association so this obviously generates some conflict for now the argentine football association here in one aside it is trying to control the damage leaders from the g seven countries are heading to canada from me saying that could be difficult for us president donald trump his decisions to unilaterally withdraw from the iran nuclear deal and impose tariffs on e.u. countries canada and all those a causing a deep rift on the in the group john hendren reports from quebec city. the gathering of world leaders was supposed to be is celebration but instead of highlighting the global economic expansion the talk at this year's g.'s evans summit is all about averting a trade war. the great disruptor donald trump in his america first agenda levying tariffs of twenty five percent on steel and ten percent on aluminum coming from allies in canada mexico and europe the trouble ministration has managed to alienate

systematically almost all of the allies who would be involved in this so canada mexico the european union or new additions it is going to be a tense meeting i would imagine canada's prime minister displayed a diplomatic anger and announced retaliatory sanctions somehow this is insulting to them the idea that the canadian steel that's in military military vehicles in the united states the canadian aluminum that makes your at your fighter jets is somehow now a threat the idea that we are somehow a national security threat to the united states is quite frankly insulting and unacceptable. europe's leaders are also irate and threatening sanctions on a litany of iconic american products from levi's jeans to kentucky bourbon to harley davidson motorcycles. all made in the republican states trump needs to keep his party in control of congress in this year's midterm elections instead of celebrating their usual unity diplomats from seven of the world's largest economies

are scrambling for common ground there was consensus under trump's predecessor barack obama iran and climate change now there's a budding trade war that threatens to turn allies into adversary but some analysts expect a last minute agreement to avert an escalating trade conflict it's mostly done for posturing and because trump sees this as part of his base is particular the swing voters in midwestern states that got him elected and he wants to show or pretend that he's doing something but again i don't think these tariffs will stick with it a family photo of world leaders that traditionally ends the meeting depicts an awkward alliance with the usual show of unity is largely up to the man from washington john hendren al-jazeera quebec city. the u.s. has evacuated to more employees from wisconsin the chinese city of. their peers at

from one of the main demonstrations and palla. to the people of northern greece macedonia the renown is the second national anthem the folk song celebrates an identity they cherish as much as greek innocent self it's not just ancient history they're proud of their great grandparents fought to wrest this land from the ottoman empire these high schoolers have heard the family stories of sacrifice and bloodshed they feel it's their duty to fight to keep the name macedonia exclusively greek the greeks feel they are defending themselves from a peculiar crime the first of a component of their nation hood the body matters we cannot give away our property i was star equal pride of being greeks and macedonians certain people cannot take what doesn't belong to them and. i think sharing this name will be the biggest forgery in history mastodon is this saw where we stand this don't say that history

says it. the archaeological record leaves no doubt here in pella buried beneath cotton fields lies the four hundred hectare ancient macedonian capital it is from here that alexander the great set out to conquer asia and a few miles to the south archaeologists have found the royal tombs of the ancient macedonian dynasty. such finds do not exist outside greece but the talks between athens and scope here are designed to share macedonian identity the country that has called itself republic of macedonia since the second world war would retain that name with a qualifier such as northern or upper opinion polls suggest three quarters of greeks are against that unless the name is in the native slavic tongue of the yugoslav macedonians greece has reasons to compromise its economy is in tatters after eight years of recession it needs trading partners and former yugoslav macedonia wants to enter the european union and nato cultivating good relations now

could give greece a better position in those organizations and then there is greece's real worry the increasingly tense relationship with turkey their decor as the country emerges from its economic crisis it shapes an area in which it can act and with which it can grow this is because it frees up strength to deal with the real geopolitical geostrategic problems these are not former yugoslav macedonia or albania they come from the east for these greek macedonians however history and identity matter above all else jumps around us al-jazeera telling. it without our top stories the afghan president has announced a weeklong ceasefire against the taliban to coincide with the end of the fasting month of ramadan operations will continue against another. like i sell on monday

a year is pass and the start of the blockade. qantas foreign minister talks to al-jazeera about the impact of the crisis on regional politics. and how his country is coping with it. i am fairly ok and that philippines president of the regarded thursday says he believes in the competence and capability of women just not in all aspects of life we look at how filipino women are influencing society and whether present attorney's behavior is sexist or simply take it out of context you are now live in the stream and on al-jazeera you choose to leave your comments in that. time christine han i'm a professor at u.c.

santa cruz you're in the street. present the dream go to target a strong governing style and crude sense of humor has often drawn fire from human rights advocates and feminists but on sunday he drew fresh criticism when he asked a married woman to kiss him on the lips during a rally in seoul south korea the woman says there was no malice in the act presidential spokesman how iraq contends it was a playful act in line with filipino culture which some filipinos might agree with. for me that was ok as long as the woman was ok with it it seems like she was the one who even requested it people are just putting malice to it but it was just a simple yes. it's hard to it's critics of the move is yet another example of what they say is rampant massaging the president's cavalier commentary on sexual assault and a recent announcement about the philippines next on bud's men would certainly not

be a woman has his detractors saying and is enough online many filipino women have begun using the hash tag go or i am a woman to highlight what they call it is macho fascism take a listen to what the secretary general of women's group gabriela said about the kiss you don't have to kiss the woman if you want to infringe the people in the fact that you kissing the woman. says something about how you view him in women or for thirty min. you can express or eggs or say your view over another person especially a woman is that that's something really you see the president does has a on tuesday said he would resign from office if all offended women signed a petition demanding it here now to help us unpack the controversy. is a journalist and also one of the organizers of the. go campaign she joins us from

manila also. we also have come to us he's a professor of political science state adding kamber oh hello there antonio and in canberra australia. is a sociologist as well as a senior research fellow at the university of canberra hello there nicole everybody good to have here good morning good morning to you low key way you are and hello to everybody else who's watching ok let me show you something on my laptop and tony one of the things that you study is every day politics when we look at this situation here is the president of the philippines kissing somebody he brought up from the audience what what does that tell you about everyday politics in the philippines. well. when people say that we saw ginny's already normalized then i would agree with that to some extent because for me to start short reality. many people blame to president for being an agent that

he saw a genie but they see different yeah i see him as an output of the outcome of that and so us other men is not the only man who's doing got it doesn't make it right but at the same time in order to fight me so again you have to look at more structure to do that it is a product of a worldview it's a product of the way people think and it's not just men who are complicit to so that it's also the women who sort of allow it but women who taught them to be like that and maybe in this situation the women who allowed themselves to because so much in the way everybody risk in the missa genius culture and done well ma'am i'm not so i'm not saying who said to be on the side me ellen it's yeah but but you know he doesn't understand and i. yes he's the president but if you're going to see you in on the president you're missing the point the point is in order so again you don't you don't. you see the moment i'm more strategic here we're going to fight because we all want to sing we don't want we just. about how to do so

gets under way some people i'm just curious because it was a second what you said was almost as if there was no debate in the president of the philippines is i'm a such an ist and he sexist i'm just want to check let me just see one of the guests if there's anyone contend that he's not sexist the. people who know there's any debate are people who think that there are people who think you know i'm not even i don't actually i want to. you know i don't agree you but i'm saying that. i limit my accounts or other men who are probably never once you know the way i see you when you do you will know. you're also demonizing others and i was not a bad person but he's a missile genius many if i want to i want to bring in you know as an adult i hear where you're coming from antonio but i want to bring in a couple of comments from twitter this is he says our government is led by

a president who displays behavior in public that is disrespectful of women his mouthpieces spin this by saying it's part of our culture even if it isn't children see this on t.v. and the dignity of women in this country is being damaged by this administration and before i pass this over to you i want to read one more is john who says i'm in the philippines and i don't agree with the president's spokesman who said this is part of our culture it is never a light moment or acceptable for a sitting president to just kiss someone else's wife or anyone for that matter on the lips for a mere intertainment elected official should always act responsibly and i'm wondering your thoughts on this ok the president's top. to no he's it's. avonlea still loves women and he's. very progressive laws. but he has been by only in the same law which states very clearly that you do not abuse women or believe and that you treat women with respect and this is

a president who has continuously abused the mean insulted women and whenever somebody gets his gold up he's first reaction is just the abuse and not just any abuse but abuse that actually centers on woman. because let me bring you into the conversation here let me show you something though first of all nicole recent compilations thirty examples are to test a sexist remarks in solidarity with rabbi arco here's a compilation of president at a sexist remarks deter taken to try off women in ten of his speeches and one more here from fragrant filipinas to shooting vaginas deter taste toxic sexist remarks want to impact does this have on the environment between men and women in the philippines if anything at all when the president is obviously viewing women in

a certain kind of way. i think one of the curiosities here is at least for some observers is that considering how up and save the statements have been there has been a massive outreach against the president on the level of people coming out in the streets to madrid what happened in the united states and i think one explanation for that is because what the president is doing is it's familiar it's not necessarily accept double but it's familiar what he's doing is correct in his state of the sketch comedy and watched growing up in the eighty's it's correct the rest of the noontime show in the philippines that we see until today it's something that people know is slightly unacceptable but it's also something that a lot of the workers way against the president's brother correct there is dix i think this is what i observed where they studied very disappointed there's over the past two years one of the things they always hear from my respondents whether these are in slum communities in the or disaster affected communities in central philippines is that people understand that this is a lot president this is an imperfect person and yet this person is not one

dimensional this is the same person who brought home distressed filipino workers from the middle east this is the same person who is august semen a disaster happens this is not to say that his sexism is acceptable but with i'm arguing here is that based on my observations people weighed the kinds of values the correct respects that the president presents and i think that's an important insight because there's a tendency to portray the president's supporters as thinking as duped by this charismatic leader but that's not necessarily the case i think there's a lot of there's a lot of scope for debating the values of the people have and i guess the headline is on medicare but not necessarily acceptable and what they are is that because i want to bring in one of the other point a lot of his and i want to bring in one of his supporters here on twitter this is lynn she says and then mayor deterred say was the main driving force for why the city's gender post came into fruition which other provinces patterned their own agenda or codes and where our own country's gender code was patterned after he got

important things done for women than those so-called decent politicians have and i what do you make of what she saying. what she's saying is exactly what i was saying that there might have there might be a progressive code endeavor city but this is a chief executive who thinks is above that code and above that law and while maybe some of them might be waiting on he's decisive this we have the what he what he treats how he treats women like the truth is that a lot of the turkey supporters have come out and saying we can't have that either because like if this is the way he treats our mothers our wives our sisters i joe grant you know that's just not an acceptable and it also actually keeps a toxic. atmosphere between men and women and while those shows are indeed some millionaire i think enough women have also been speaking out

against a kind of durable violinist that they do spread in themselves and his personal doesn't want to be my response above. i also didn't and it is a. just a very quick comment that yes of course then me i did hear it was responsible for the east going and says the protect women but let's not forget that this is a product of civil society groups who are lobbied by women themselves and i think it's just not fair to say that it's the president the only person that instituted these laws and our it's a product of law struggle of women's movement in the city that media and a sexual harassment laws i mean double possible and i think that's the case nationally now with the president to tear down every time he makes policies or endorses policies that are blue women it's not the president stengel handedly steering the country do with the direction that benefits some women we have to give credit to women's movements always been pushing for these policies and. that is out

there yet any piece and i say something if they say yes. i just like to follow up on what nicole said earlier about the complexity and the ones yes but the problem is that if we saw ginny which is a complex problem its roots are conflicts its implications are obvious manifestations of it were simply by simply faded so the question of good and bad question a black and white then it becomes a participant then my worry is that people will really go back to their hate ok and and grounds and of course on the point s. . it's it's correct the president is me sergeants should know the problem is how do you see that is that because it's the philippines miss or just because oppressive that this was sort of some people did like to say that we saw denise that we grieving an ugly head because the president is a misogynist our it is precisely because we really have a structured sojourn in our society.
