and also knows the secrets of north korea's nuclear program because although trump will be given ideas about north korea's nuclear program it has been a secret and want to seems even the cia don't know everything. two more people are being killed in the anti government protests in nicaragua both young men died from gunshot wounds rights groups accuse the government of using paramilitaries against the demonstrators protesters demand the resignation of president daniel ortega at least one hundred thirty seven have been killed in the violence since mid april as efforts by the catholic church to mediate in the crisis so far have failed. and rescuers in guatemala say now it's almost impossible to find any survivors following a volcanic eruption there a week ago around two hundred people are still unaccounted for their relatives have been trying to find them and to rescue teams suspended their operations at least one hundred nine people have been confirmed dead in the month of eruption many other centers is near the site. we've seen the army nongovernmental and
8:01 am
governmental agencies bringing in food water blanket and someone and there are about twenty shelters around the area of them ok now we were in one of the shelters this morning talking to several people there and interesting that the authorities here have not only focused on bringing aid relief supplies but also a lot of we saw in psychology we saw in students a psychology of social workers because one of the. problems here is that linnie are the basis of suffering psychological trauma and so livable when you talk to one of the victims and they tell you about how they fled their homes and how they left everything behind and how. ten five twenty members of their family died in
8:02 am
this tragedy well there's a lot of help for these people who have suffered a lot of stress what's very interesting to see that not only with water and blankets but also psychological help. from the ricci seven summits and it's based on tweets that are coming from president donald trump and let's just read them for they come from his twitter page based on justin's and he's talking about the canadian prime minister based on justin's false statements at his news conference and the fact that canada is charging massive tariffs to our u.s. farmers workers and companies i've instructed u.s. reps not to indorse the communiqué as we look at tariffs on automobiles flooding the u.s. market and in the second part of that tweet he also says that pm justin trudeau of canada acted so meek and mild during our g seven meeting only to give
8:03 am
a news conference after. left saying that u.s. terrorists were kind of insulting and he and we quote will not be pushed around very dishonest and weak our tariffs are in response to his two hundred seventy percent on dairy of course the word war of words is now heating up it is interesting though that these statements were not made at the president trumps. news conference before he left and he's reacting to them obviously on twitter as he makes his way to singapore for that conference between the u.s. and of course the north korean leader kim jong il and we wait for more response really from canada and of course that we will come back to that story throughout the news hour so do stay with us. moving on now to saudi arabia state security has arrested a second women's rights activist in the space of three days. ronnie was arrested for posting on social media her support for jude law. who was detained on wednesday
8:04 am
now the arrests come in the same week where saudi arabia issued its first driving licenses to women as part of a series of modernization reforms to south asia now where the taliban in afghanistan has announced a three day ceasefire to mark the end of ramadan it's the first such truce since the group was toppled by the u.s. led invasion in two thousand and one taliban fighters say they will stop all offensive operations during the muslim holiday later this month except against foreign forces it follows a similar announcement by the afghan government param into afghanistan. has taken root take all the steps to make sure that. there is no more bloodshed in afghanistan and even if these steps are smaller steps we will come to those we will come down and been made by the taliban and we hope that the all will be. committed to implement their announcement under ceasefire. just hours before the truce
8:05 am
announcement taliban fighters killed at least seventeen police officers in an early morning raid on hundred fifty fighters stormed a military checkpoint in herat province eight of them were killed by afghan army soldiers and a second attack by the taliban was also has also killed twenty four police officers in northern can do is province government targeted several road checkpoints in the morning hours ahead of the ceasefire agreement political and security analysts simple carbs a cease fires like these are essential before the two parties can start long term peace negotiations. their desire to start a reconciliation process with the taliban has picked up movement i need him out with a very open office a few months ago i bow out offer to the taliban to start negotiations again and then i'll bring back you know that this offer has come up from that i mean that woman saying that this should be a cease fire and you know it cease fires that essential before you start and you
8:06 am
don't know these negotiations and we can see action process but i still consider it is a very small kind of the c.p.m. we have yet to see any negotiation process we start again. state department state. until just for pakistani people and so i think people yesterday big momentum meant the minutes that i live on to come up with the count off and agree to lenny's three day off another thing i'd like to add which is significant about this first of all of the u.s. forces and the less well u.s. side it being to my needs. there was no distinction made within the taliban about continuing operations against me network and you tube and ever we've had these kind of awful errors all our our kind of interventions from the us there or is do i distinction between i mean that which is on the list of terrorist organizations less as declared them or stopped in isolation and usually that division is is put
8:07 am
in place then that what they're talking about but this time there's been a blanket kind of that awful awful spiral of the being fired against the taliban. so i don't hog responsibly it's going well but there is a lot of momentum on restocking. with the taliban again. let's take you back of course to our top story that we're covering the breaking news coming out really from force one of the tweets from president trump criticizing the canadian prime minister john hendren of course at that g. seven conference press center in quebec city your having the news just as us quickly as we are john regarding the tweets by the american president as he's left criticizing the canadian prime minister basically calling him a liar. that's right so i think we can safely say that the united states and the other six members of the g seven are now farther apart than when this all began
8:08 am
listen to just a statement and it infuriated him so much so that he said prime ministers and prime minister justin trudeau of canada acted so meek and mild during our g seven meetings only to give a news conference after i left saying that quote us tariffs were kind of insulting and quote and he will not be pushed around very dishonest and week in response to his of two hundred seventy percent on dairy here's the key party goes on to say based on justin's false statements at his news conference and the fact that canada is charging massive tariffs to our u.s. farmers workers and companies i have instructed our u.s. reps not to endorse the communique as we look at tariffs on automobiles flooding the u.s. market now that means what we just talked about a few minutes ago the fact that they had a communique that they all signed on to it is no longer signed onto by the united states so that means it is a six plus one summit officially the united states at this point has not signed on
8:09 am
to that communique or has revoked its approval to do so and that seems to be based on comments trump is famously thin skinned and this is just another example of how quickly and angrily he responds when criticized. really just. the fundamental within the g seven. trade. the real worry of the next we'll be speaking to several different. days leading up to this called for the trade war would look like in twenty eighteen and that's the real worry because it affects not just people on the ground it affects the markets it affects industry across the board and across borders. i would not be surprised that also if the markets responded quickly to this what's happened in
8:10 am
the in a trade war that has begun here is. many people thought that there would be a negotiation here at the g seven in which trump would revoke those tariffs or possibly camperdown his rhetoric instead this almost makes it certain that the tariffs other countries have announced canada mexico european countries will go forward china as well that suggests that the price of things like steel are going to go up that those automobiles that keep crossing borders under the north american free trade agreement every time they cross a border now that could be an added cost so this could really begin to affect the economy and people just weeks ago were saying that there was a global economic expansion and that was what the g. seven was going to be all about that was before the trump tariffs and now. trump has really thrown a monkey wrench in and the g seven seems to be at the moment in crisis indeed to
8:11 am
see what the fallout of those comments is in the coming hours for the moment john thanks for joining us from quebec city. well still plenty more ahead here on the al-jazeera news hour including refugees from one of the world's biggest camps all given a chance to share their stories with a global audience live. the grand slam title at last full simona halep tatyana will be here to tell us how she did it it's. refugees at one of the world's largest counts have been beamed around the world in a rare web site streaming event the camp in kenya houses about one hundred eighty five thousand people from south sudan somalia ethiopia and other countries the tx organization arranges lectures around the world to try and change people's perceptions was in cuba full of the event. it's been an extraordinary day
8:12 am
here at the cooma refugee camp here in north western kenya this is a refugee camp that houses around one hundred eighty five thousand refugees in this ted x. cacouna camp talk today this is something that's really been inspiring for a lot of the residents here the organizers are hoping with this event to showcase the positive impact that refugees that have had made not just in this camp not just in this country but all around the world now earlier i spoke with melissa fleming she's the chief u.n.h.c.r. spokesperson also one of the co-hosts of this event and i asked her how an event like this was going to help try to reshape the narrative around refugees and how refugees are perceived around the world most europeans or americans are astray and think that all the refugees are coming their way frankly most of them are in countries like kenya eighty five percent and yet they're invisible and we were hoping with this event today can't we could really illuminate the camp but not only
8:13 am
that the extraordinary refugees and the talents and the ideas they have by putting them on as powerful a stage as the ted stage many of the speakers here today are refugees among them actors singers musicians poets it was one young woman in particular the twenty two year old refugee from south sudan her name is mary mark here and she spoke with me and told me that she came back to this camp after she had left so that she could teach children here and why that was so important to her. i look at the population in the. especially that population of the most of them a hopeless. and seeing me as their teacher who is almost their peer will actually encourage them to to move on to push on to see that life is not about the company life is something mall ahead and that's what i want them to believe it and every time i'm in my class teaching them biology our business. i'm not just
8:14 am
teaching business. i'm teaching business of set of statistics. that will help them everybody i've spoken with here today has told me they believe an event like this is extremely important not just because it counteracts negative stereotypes about refugees but also because it will inspire so many refugees around the world. now it's often said that sports and politics should be kept separate but recent weeks of being a reminder that they rarely are the nine hundred seventy six one thousand nine hundred ninety four olympics all boycotted by large groups of countries the seventy's and eighty's were dominated by debates about whether apartheid era south africa should be allowed to participate in the olympics world cup another major sporting events last year on a rainy and wrestler and praise from iran's government for forfeiting a world championship match to avoid facing an israeli later in the tournament and
8:15 am
just last week argentina cancelled plans to play a world cup warm up match in israel after the israelis moved the game from haifa to jerusalem and around the same time donald trump abruptly canceled a white house visit by the super bowl champions philadelphia eagles citing the number of n.f.l. players who had kneeled last season during the national anthem to protest racism in america well as the world turns its eyes to russia in the coming weeks will it be the next place where politics and sport both clash and meld well joining me now is jules boy cough is an associate professor of politics and government at the department of the department at the pacific university in oregon joins me now from madison in wisconsin good to have you with us on the program and they were saying never the twain shall meet but a major sporting event and one where politics in all its forms will be played out. there's no question behind the jonty colossus that is the world cup politics will
8:16 am
be throwing full throttle and in fact i would say that we're going to see over the coming four weeks that the world cup can be an exceptional lens for helping us better understand the politics in the cultural forces that are around us and furthermore those that say that politics and sports don't mix are often hypocritical they tend to be the ones that are benefiting from the status quo and want to avoid controversy at all costs and you even have people political leaders like president donald trump here in the united states who are leveraging the mixture of politics and sports for their own political advantage to leverage their base and get more traction with them so there's no question that sports are in fact politics by other means indeed and if you look at recent disagreements let's take a look at russia and the united kingdom huge fallout over accusations that russia was behind the poisoning of a former russian spy spy on the british soil diplomats expelled and now the u.k. foreign office warning football fans of england fans to be vigilant and keep
8:17 am
a low profile very hard when you're an excited supporter of a national team in a country that you don't know very well and is potentially an enemy of yours on the political stage. sure there is a grim history between england and russia at least their football hooligan cultures that clashed in the streets of mar say so there's that to look out for there's the fact that the fringes of russian hooligan football culture can be quite racist at times throwing bananas on field chanting racist slogans at players of african descent people in the streets are going to have to watch out for that beyond that russia has a law that it passed in two thousand and thirteen that. says that you cannot provide propaganda so-called propaganda about q life to people who are minors and so there's a lot for people to think about who decide to attend the world cup in russia over
8:18 am
the coming weeks whether it's the world cup or the olympics or any major sporting event i mean you do even as an avid football watch i love a good grudge match of the most mouthwatering and if you look at the countries that are in this year's world cup i mean the clashes don't get any better in the later part of the competition you could have england against germany and argentina then you got the central american countries that you require argentina brazil colombia mexico they've all had wars in the past in southern merica you've got japan and korea there was a royal clashes back in the thirteenth century the list goes on with the countries that are there of all of those sorts of regional clashes you might say why are they still incumbent why are they still so relevant in the modern era when peace has been made and you think it's all water under the bridge. well for starters a lot of those rivalries can be friendly and there's actually nothing wrong with having a good friendly rivalry with a longtime opponent but i think it speaks to the intensity of nationalism and
8:19 am
there's no question that the world cup in flames nationalism in certain respects with all the flag waving the jerseys the national anthems and so on and so the really the nationalism that you see at the world cup has sort of a double edge if you will where we will see what does happen in the a month of a football for us from russia for the moment jules because thanks so much for joining us from wisconsin thank you. still ahead here on the al-jazeera news hour public anger in jordan as the cost of living continues to rise and rise. as we said fans get football fever however the world cup we take a look at how the sport is growing in some unexpected corners of the globe so coming up in sports or do you stay with us here but i'll just say.
8:20 am
how i once again we've still got some very big storms rattling across central parts of the u.s. you can see how they blow up in the heat of the day these are homegrown storms lots of heat around for many we have got temperatures getting up a well up into the twenty's across a good part of north america touching thirty four thirty five celsius for dallas and also for denver going to the mid twenty's once again over towards the middle lanty states as a day see it around twenty five degrees as that cloud and right it will continue to track its way further east was edging towards the appalachians bright skies come back in across the heartland over towards a northwest we've got temperatures around fifteen celsius for seattle bits and pieces of cloud and rain rolling in b.c. also seeing some of that wet weather which was a slide into alberta all pushing a little further eastward as we go on into monday now it is cold enough for some snow over the high ground at this stage for the canadian rockies nineteen celsius there for d.c. by the state a little cooler a little wetter once again showers may molly will continue down towards the south
8:21 am
and those showers that we see in the deep south will be very very heavy in the lot of heavy rain to insua western parts of the caribbean a scattering of showers there for cuba over the next day or so with more big downpours to central america. uncovering full the forensic analysis by the f.b.i. more than twenty years ago reports being written without the knowledge or authorization equipments dirty testimony is being given that's way beyond people's expertise the state has announced its intention to attempt to retry after trees crimes for which he's already served thirty two years their evidence was the only physical evidence that put really manning in that car the system with. an al-jazeera. new possibilities. journalism medical facilities they got that either way he declared
8:22 am
a state of emergency several weeks ago gripping documentaries to discover a wealth of award winning programming from around the globe. debates and discussion on one side of the split screen dignitaries mingling on the other conduct see the world from a different perspective only on al-jazeera. welcome back you're watching the al-jazeera news with me the whole robin a reminder of all the top stories this hour donald trump has asked u.s. representatives not to endorse the joint communiqué old trade put out by g seven
8:23 am
leaders in canada all the bills had signed the deal but the u.s. president appears to have changed his mind following comments by canada's prime minister at a news conference. donald trump hours left those talks and is on his way to singapore ahead of tuesday's historic summit with north korean leader kim jong il the u.s. president says the talks will be a one time shot for kim to end his nuclear program and achieve what he called peace and prosperity. also rescuers in guatemala say now it's almost impossible to find any survivors after a volcanic eruption there a week ago around two hundred people are unaccounted for their relatives have been trying to find them after rescue teams suspended that operation. now more on our top story the g. seven summit that wrapped up in canada a few hours ago harlan ullman is a senior adviser at the atlantic council and joins me now from washington d.c. obviously your hearing the news just as quickly as we heard it in terms of the tweets from president trump criticizing quite heavily the canadian prime minister
8:24 am
what your initial reactions are extraordinary is too weak a word this is perhaps the worst g. seven meeting in history it is impossible to know what the president's strategy is he's called for a trade war with europe he suggested that russia should be able to rejoin the g. eight but did not suggest any criteria for rejoining and now he has called the prime minister of canada a liar and has refused to sign the communique so the big question is what did the president hope to achieve out of the g. seven meeting except to store up huge trouble with our closest allies and our most immediate neighbor to the north what sort of problems as you say does this or do you foresee in the long term as we head beyond this g seven meeting because america and its allies do meet at various other forums on various other issues
8:25 am
whether it be the environment whether it be on the palestinians whether it be on their relationship with the e.u. . the economist newspaper this week has on its cover donald trump writing a wrecking ball and the sub theme is donald trump destroying the trans-atlantic community and relationship. there needs to be some kind of a plan or strategy but donald trump seems to act. at the moment on an instinct for example he recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel without kind of getting any sort of concessions from the israelis he suggested that russia should come back to the g. seven without suggesting a path to do that and i'm afraid the europeans and the chinese are not going to relent in a potential trade war i don't think the president has a strong hand to play and without suggesting what his strategy is i think the press
8:26 am
the future looks rather dismal in terms not only of transatlantic relations but on doing things to the global economy that potentially and i emphasize the word potentially could lead to a global recession and i do not have any understanding and the president has not made clear what his policy or strategy are and he needs to do that to settle markets we'll see what happens with the dow jones on monday but i would predict a precipitous decline if you we've had various contributes is all is they're looking at the global trade relationships all the other side of the world in china we have the chinese president hosting his russian counterpart to talking about that development of trade globally in the belts and roads scenario that china is developing across nearly sixty countries they'll be rolling all city rubbing their hands with glee at the chaos that president trump is creating and thinking how they
8:27 am
can benefit from it. i'm afraid that's a very accurate appraisal as you point out the shanghai cooperation organization is meeting in shanghai as we speak i think both president putin of russia and president xi of china are saying we are being delivered with unprecedented opportunities by the united states that we don't deserve but we are going to exploit and believe me president putin will use this to try to drive wedges in the transatlantic relationship between our european allies and the united states and president xi will continue with his belt and road policies and will try to take over where the united states is going to withdraw and everything that president trump has said so far in terms of trade in the economy is perceived by most countries as america first meaning america can go it alone that we are strong enough and powerful enough to force people to accept our will and quite frankly that is a very misconstrued and dangerous view of the world the world does not operate that
8:28 am
way you must myself be quite interested in what kim jong un must be thinking right now when you just have to be loved to be a fly on the wall wherever he is at the moment. absolutely not. i would not like to be in close proximity in proximity to mr kim but what you have to realize is that kim is smart the notion that president trump in two minutes is going to size him up is nonsensical and we will see what happens but if the meeting with mr kim is as destructive as the meeting with g seven put on your flak vests and helmets because it's going to be a very bumpy ride if that's the case i said you like to be a fly on the wall and can juggle wondering what he makes of present statements it does make you think how present trump is going to deal with this meeting and how
8:29 am
his allies and we're talking about you know asia pacific allies who have a vested interest in peace and security in the region are going to deal with you know a failure should you say looking into the future if it happens this way of those talks and and how to react to it. i think if you are a prime minister abbe japan having just met with the president and president moon of south korea you will have seen how the g seven meeting has gone and you will say to yourself we have to be prepared to do this independently we can no longer trust the united states to act responsibly and so i think there are all sorts of contingency plans if the agreement or i should say if the meeting between mr trump and mr kim does not work out well i would not be surprised to see that south korea going alone to sign a peace treaty treaty with the north i can see china and i can see russia intervening to pick up the pieces and at this stage mr trump's personality is such
8:30 am
it is impossible to know how he is going to react but the g seven meeting is not a good start for what will follow in the meeting in singapore on june twelfth we'll see what happens for the moment hala thanks so much for joining us from the atlantic council in washington d.c. . now the european union's top foreign policy official has traveled to jordan to meet the king as the country struggles to handle an economic and political crisis frederica maharani thinking of the of the second discussed a strategic partnership between the kingdom and the union the two state solution between israelis and palestinians was also on the agenda as well as the war in syria well cash strapped jordan is struggling to get on top of its debt after taking a seven hundred twenty three million dollar loan from the international monetary fund in twenty sixteen now it relies heavily on foreign aid but saudi arabia along with the fellow gulf cooperation council members have not yet renewed death three
8:31 am
point six billion dollars distance program to jordan which expired last year as well as this analysts say saudi and the ever r.t. investors have stopped financing projects in jordan the government also blames its financial woes on the instability in the region chiefly the war in neighboring syria which is stifled trade and pushed up prices and there's the burden of hosting six hundred fifty thousand syrian refugees jordan has complained about not getting enough international support. godard is the founder of the news website and that he thinks part of the gulf funding issue may be that countries no longer want to contribute directly to jordan's budget. well jordan has had their financial aid from many of the gulf countries including saudi arabia and qatar and other countries and most of that has dried up or has gone on on to specific programs not helping the basic budget of the country there is different schools of thought on this issue there is one that says that the gulf countries wanted to support jordan
8:32 am
programmatically rather than just a cash a infusion and they wanted to support programs like building schools and highways rather than just giving them money and there are some people who think that there is some kind of a political connection to the stopping of the direct support but i'm not sure what the reason is but the really the fact is that jordan is suffering because of this absence of financial aid in jordan has a lot of responsibility towards palestine towards the mosque it trains in and pay the salaries of hundreds of guards at the luxor mosque and that is seen as representing not only jordan but they slam a quarrel than they are trying to protect the third holiest mosque in islam so they feel that arab countries certainly have a responsibility towards jordan to keep it afloat to pakistani navy helicopters have rescued eleven iranian fishermen from rough waters in the northern arabian sea
