or it's very interesting to see what is happening of course we'll keep a very close eye on that for the moment jobs and thanks so much for joining us you know argentina and the international monetary fund have agreed to a fifty billion dollar draft deal to beef up the economy the i.m.f. executive board will decide in the coming days with argentina's reform plan is worth the agreement president when he says the deal is necessary to avoid another economic collapse activists have been protesting across the country for weeks accusing the i.m.f. of interference. alone subleasing is the chair of the political economy department the industrial university of general salim in tow he joins me now from where desire is in argentina on skype thanks very much for joining us the previous late president nestor kirschner that the country would never turn to the i.m.f. again after years of all stereotypes we're back there again why how.

yes that is a very interesting question not only president. say we would never go back to the i.m.f. but the current economy minister before he was economy minister. but very recently said the very same thing so indeed why are we going back to the i.m.f. well we're going back to the i.m.f. because of an economic crisis sensually generated by the policies of the mockery administration since they assume in december of two thousand and fifteen argentina is main issue is the foreign exchange constraint what economists call the foreign exchange constraint i.e. the lack of. foreign exchange or dollars as they say here.

to meet external needs be it craves be its tourism be its service and so. the way the government has gone about solving that problem under monkee has been a very dramatic increase in public debt denominated in dollars. but it's also a case if i can just sort of bring in an. international audience as well as market was quite protectionist in that this particular president said if you can open up the blockage if you get foreign investment in he can improve the economy why hasn't it. well i mean it hasn't worked because the whole model of the president was based on this magical inflow.

exchange. will have to materialize because that is that the government didn't ask because there's not a very amicable environment for foreign investments and so when the foreign investments never materialized what the government did was simply go to the international markets and issue. and that is how we got to the current crisis where they had to essentially go running to the i.m.f. for a bailout to keep this going. bit longer. to see what happens in the coming days the moment i don't see it but it's always thanks for joining us . you're very welcome. the group of catholic bishops in nicaragua has met president daniel ortega to discuss how to stop violence across the country they've offered to

mediate between the government and protest is at least one hundred thirty people have been killed since mid april in violence two forces loyal to take out an opposition groups demanding his resignation though the bishops a the waiting for take has written response but will repel a report from near the company when i go where we are now is on the road between my now i watch and these cars that are passing by or humanitarian workers members of the catholic church but are actually the only vehicles that are allowed to pass along this highway if you look down the road here to my right there are several barricades we're talking about dozens of barricades that we've seen as we've been making our way toward my side i'm a side of the city where a lot of the violence has been concentrated over the course of the last few days amidst the unrest here in the guy what's become a sort of symbol of the resistance against the government of president daniel ortega this is where we've seen the majority of the violence in terms of where the negotiations in the peace talks are at this point the archdiocese the catholic

church and he had set up a dialogue between civil society and members of the government on may sixteenth those talks deteriorated quite rapidly because of the ongoing violence in the crackdown against protesters here in the can i was the catholic church bishops have announced today that they will once again be meeting with members of the government to negotiate the terms of a were new talks and we will be monitoring the situation to see whether or not there will be more violence which is what doctors in the medical in the medical community are expecting or some sort of peaceful outcome to this unrest in the. open to go ahead here i'll be all just over a news hour including. like you the refugees from getting help with their eyesight. also one search and. the recovery operations have to guatemala volcano eruption have been temporarily suspended. and in support of the ten time french open champion write that down it's

closer to the eleventh roland gavels trying. something you know i've got just as president has announced a temporary ceasefire with the taliban to coincide with the end of the muslim holy month of ramadan there's been more violence in recent months with dozens of attacks against civilians and security forces the government says operations will continue against other armed groups such as i saw the u.s. says it will honor the cease fire along with nato which called for peace talks to jennifer glass has more from kabul. president gummies announcement of a unilateral ceasefire it seems to be a calculated gamble following on his offer in said hughie to the afghan taliban for unconditional peace talks and a seat at the political table if they came to negotiations so far that hasn't borne

any fruits but he made clear in his announcement that this ceasefire only applied to the afghan taliban afghanistan islam is your movie that the government of the islamic republic of afghanistan announces a ceasefire from the twenty seventh of ramadan until the fifth day if you don't fit or following the historic ruling of afghan religious scholars afghan national defense and security forces will only stop offensive maneuvers against the taliban and will continue to target eisel and other foreign backed terrorist organizations and their affiliations the question is what will the taliban do now will they respect this ceasefire through one of the holiest weeks in the muslim calendar and how will afghan security forces tell the difference between taliban fighters and those i saw and other militant groups the president danny says his army and other security forces will continue to fight. the red cross has pulled more than seventy of the international staff out of yemen because of security concerns the move comes as he led forces close in on the red sea city of data its port is yemen's main

would lead to a catastrophic humanitarian situation a worsening of the already how to spot a humanitarian situation and would scupper diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict over there others in the administration who argue this is a good time to try and change the dynamics on the ground there is also suspicion among some of the administration however that the iraqis will move anyway no matter what the u.s. say we did ask the state department about these reports and this is the response we got we call upon all parties to take appropriate measures to mitigate the risk of civilian casualties and facilitate humanitarian relief efforts we cannot comment on private diplomatic discussions or military operations well staying with yemen it's also a transit point for thousands of refugees and migrants trying to reach wealthy gulf nations to find work now the international organization for migration is describing it as a hidden crisis in the middle has more their voyage started from the port of bazaar

united nations says human rights must be on the agenda at the summit between u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un's envoy thomas quintile or has been speaking in geneva ahead of the june the twelfth summit he says too many north koreans don't have adequate access to food with ten million people relying on aid while he welcomed north korea's release of three u.s. citizens last month he says hundreds more prisoners should be freed as a gesture of good will i am not the opinion that that human rights dialogue will undermine the opening and the talks on the denuclearization at all i don't think that he said dilemma. on the contrary i think that for them in deep dark side to show a willingness to all been to to open up to their human rights makes any sense will give them clear they believe the in their intentions to engage with different

stakeholders in the intention to denuclearize the. and it will play in their favor differently wait a has more from south korea. the comments by the special reportorial work clearly an attempt to try to keep the issue of human rights in the mix as the world very much focuses on that summit between donald trump and kim jong un in singapore next week it's not known if donald trump will raise the issue of human rights when he meets with kim jong un but the special wrapper to a things that has to be part of the equation particularly when it comes to discussions around economic sanctions against north korea because he believes that sanctions have a direct impact on the humanitarian situation in north korea but there are others who say look you cannot raise this issue directly with kim jong un in this first summit because it is too sensitive for the north koreans and if donald trump does

go ahead and talk too much about human rights in singapore then it raises the risk of derailing the entire process of improving relationships between the two koreas and between north korea and the united states american government officials are saying that they have been raising the issue of human rights constantly in their meetings with their north korean counterparts in the lead up to that summit next week there are thousands of refugees who fled across the border to thailand have a tough time getting the basic necessities with the shortage of international aid doctors are having difficulty treating patients. reports. nope or knows all about the needs of her community she's both doctor and refugee in the camp and is getting a new pair of glasses but says basic i care is not easy to come by. i'm an eye doctor but we don't have any to treat patients in the refugee camp

states and because of the department of justice's so-called no tolerance policy the largest prison that would be holding these illegals would be in california it would be holding up to a thousand illegals and then about two hundred to three hundred would be in facilities in washington texas and arizona now some unions representing prison guards have raised questions about this as to whether or not these illegal immigrants should be housed in the same facilities as prisoners we could expect to see some protests from civil rights groups about doing this sort of thing keep in mind that these facilities that they're going to be housed in are medium security prisons not maximum security prison so they would not be necessarily mixed in with people that are committing murder but medium security prisons do house people that have been convicted of things like assault so
