canadians did not take it lightly that the united states has moved forward with significant tariffs on our steel and aluminum industry particularly did not take lightly the fact that it's based on a national security reason that it's kind of insulting but we also will not be pushed around. trump from air force one on his way to singapore to meet north korean leader kim jong un sent off an angry tweet calling trudeau dishonest and weak all seven nations had papered over the trades bad signing an agreement that vaguely endorsed quote free fair and mutually beneficial trade without defining it that agreement is now moot in another tweet from air force one revoked his signature seeing quote 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 reps not to endorse the

communique trudeau's office tweeted back quote the prime minister said nothing he hasn't said before both in public and in private conversations with the president this picture captures the global tension and that was before the twitter war this year's g seventy is already going down as the g six plus one six members on one side and president trump on the other is a summit six of the members hoped would escalating a budding trade war that instead has ended up accelerating. but it was trudeau who had the support of his fellow g seven members where we disagree with our allies on something it is right that we say so and the issue openly and frankly we have done just that at this summit registering our deep disappointment at the unjustified decision by the us to apply tariffs to e.u. steel and on the minimum imports. as the g seven leaders returned home they leave more divided than ever john hendren al-jazeera quebec city canada coming out on

a say in their own futures received that hemant a man is completely controlling the merits of he alone gets credit for for these minimum forms he alone gets to decide when he wants to give to these minimum of forms to people or not but no one is able to speak out if you're going to tell me why the mixed messages in it are one hand you say you can start driving now and then on the other hand it's almost as if it's a warning not to. get any ideas. absolutely and it appears as if it's a you know a clear and clear calculated move to shut down all activism inside the country i mean how could this be you know this couldn't look like reform this modernization when you have you know women currently behind bars who have called for the same things that you know from one of the things that he's about to introduce the right to drive this month you know you've got families who are afraid to speak out about the plight of their of their sons and daughters in jail today you know because of

fear of prison retaliation other activists insights i mean it catches on and they're easy because they're afraid that they might be next so you know how do you want it done was to what should be done in order to stop this. i mean i think it is imperative at this point for the international community to step in to stand by these women to show solidarity because on the inside it is it is impossible at this moment to have people rally around and around this cause rally around these women so i think it's imperative for the international community to it's stand up to encourage m.p.'s to release these four men and to make them partners and in his reform process thank you very much. here's another flurry of molten modern ash from the volcano in guatemala is forced emergency teams to abandon their search for survivors they've given up hope of finding anyone else alive after last sunday's

war will be a city. for many years people have been fleeing eritrea. a steady stream cross the border into sudan but unable or unwilling to stay there they move on. many end up in europe. others have made it across the sinai peninsula and managed to get into israel. today approximately forty thousand people from africa have made it into the country. and having rejected most of their asylum applications the israeli government now wants them out a new program has been announced except deportations to

a third country such as rwanda or uganda or end up in an israeli prison. it's here in pockets of relatively deprived southern television but thousands of africans have made their home over recent years we'll hear from some of those who now stand to lose that here until trial just. tekhelet and eden have lived in tel aviv for about ten years now both of them say the reason they fled eritrea was to escape the military it's a familiar story. according to a united nations investigation based on interviews with five hundred refugees around the world the military is in fact a recruitment tool for forced labor tracing its role to the country's long running conflict with its neighbor if the o.p.o. . eritrea gained formal independence from ethiopia in one nine hundred ninety three

after a thirty year long armed struggle but since then the situation along the border has remained tense with frequent violence cautions. as a result the military here plays a central organizing role but beyond defending the country it has become an instrument of oppression according to retrain refugees. young men are forced to serve for many years but not just to execute military duties the issues. to eritrea as military and slash national service programs include their arbitrary and indefinite duration the use of conscripts as forced labor including manual labor the inhumane conditions of service rape and torture often associated with service and their devastating impact on family life and freedom of choice for

the individuals overall the un investigators concluded that quote the commission has reasonable grounds to believe that crimes against humanity namely enslavement imprisonment inforce disappearance torture other inhumanities persecution rape and murder have been committed in eritrea since one nine hundred ninety one. it's also recommended referring the situation to the prosecutor of the international criminal court. and natural way out of the country is north to sudan but that country is hardly a long term solution. not too far away israel and many managed to cross into the country before israel decided to build a barbed fence along its border with egypt in the sinai peninsula but now the government here says it's time for the refugees to go. but we come here to live in

ski garden and southern tel aviv it's a park here where years ago many of the asylum seekers were simply brought on a bus and left and now it's become something of a central point for this community. tekhelet came here in two thousand and six for a while he worked in a restaurant. he works for an engine advocating on behalf of the african community here. he didn't came here ten years ago with her husband and two kids since then she has given birth to a daughter who is now in kindergarten she also works for an ngo let's start at the beginning of your story how and why did you leave eritrea and how did you end up here in israel when i was a nurse there was an athlete and there was also a student without any isn't there two hundred of them between me and forced into the army and i train the soldier and then ask them to give me a chance to return back to my studies and also my training to become an athlete

that was an athlete with a sense runner and if he's with me there it may claim go back to where it came from and as a point i left my country because i become hopeless in my own country i've become dreamless in my own country and it's my country on so i don't see it was. a way to cross the border and run because me my country military border guard this and they ask me where i'm going and i told them i'm leaving my country because of all this stuff that happened to me and they asked me what was the prison i saw them you know a prison what's it like so i can't the prison and a start run away from them. three times to kill me. have been done from so that's it was given a number two thousand and seven and the same thing happened in sudan this is a government starting to in two hundred over. there and i can always from that and

they came. cairo and the same thing happened carol so the only place is close to me was israel so i came to israel on the end of southern seven. commenting on israel's new policy prime minister netanyahu had this to say on january twenty first we are taking actions against illegal immigrants who came here for work purposes israel will continue to be a shelter for true refugees and will eject illegal infiltrators now the israeli government's argument in all of this is that the vast majority of the eritrean sudanese asylum seekers are not asylum seekers it calls them infiltrators and people who are here for economic reasons i mean how would you respond to that what would happen to you you think if you went back to eritrea first of all they never took over us and claim properly according and right now though so they have no

reason to what are you going to occur for in truth rather than through the records right because they never give us a chance in some is there are setting up the question systematically they broke the summit or claim even those who are climate similar again we didn't get it and so for that sometimes they reject automatically out of fun for no reason without checking their claim so it is completely a lie it's not completely right why they're sane especially in the world more than ninety per cent of eritrean get accepted as refugees in the sudan is are the same number of get accepted as refugees so why it is there is zero princes almost zero zero point. one person gets upset if it's almost there is ten people who get x. or the other if it is you see in the last ten years so you can understand it's completely baseless it completely completely lie and in your own personal case what are the stakes i mean you you left because he deserted the army he was shot at

crossing the border if you were simply to go home your perceive yourself as an asylum seeker if you were to go now what would happen to first of all if my country because they were in the set up my country so my country i am sure there would be imprisonment because there was a border illegally. i think they're going to terrorism and they're going to trial so if i work my country but not just me every chance for the country will be done you are because we know now when we were in our country we know nothing about. but no we now have seen what you mean my country and to our people. for even the military also played a critical role in her and her husband's decision to leave every train ten years ago so why did you leave what force you out of a trial because what is a man on is a man that. was most of them was in saddam's.

even if the man is really from the army the government came they took all his addresses the family especially for wife was a kid s. i don't want to be. in prison because every time prison is difficult prison like his underground prison it is so difficult you can eat one time in a day it is sleep you can sleep on the floor and this is your own personal experience when your husband fled the armenia you were in prison for two months yes for two months i was with my delta now my daughter now is eleven years old as time she was like one in the house and so you both ended up with you and your husband and your two children and it up in sudan in a refugee camp and. what made you decide to come here because there is not. so that is also the same situation that like it had because if you see it in the

fija come that is a smuggler as maybe they kidnapped the deal maybe they can now but cicadas to get the money. when i sell when i listen some see it happen to someone my ring my husband telling me let's try to leave to get a safe place and then he decides to send me to israel and i came i said and so you you're here you've been here for nearly a decade and you've been trying you say to apply for asylum. what's happened how far is your asylum application i tried for four days. to apply the silane. feagin status but i didn't get any chance to into the car that is a lot of people and has immigration they don't want to meet. at

a feeding asylum apparatus because we decide to depart the us the little one that if someone applies that a fee to status it is. to save us from the deportation when you first arrived in israel nine years ago you didn't apply i didn't know i don't know no one contacted me this i don't know because before i was in my country i don't know how to do about the fetus i don't out up like a man i was the owner and he came in to say hey we're just. going around talking aging music for whom. you can get used to me going on behind you and we can go through one down. and what about the environment here in southern tel aviv how do you get along with local people here are the other major problems.
