the white house has stepped up its verbal attacks on justin trudeau with top advisers claiming the canadian prime minister quote stabbed us in the back at the g. seven summit true to avoided questions from waiting media in quebec for the trump labeled him weak and dishonest for comments made after the summit trader told reporters the us president's decision to invoke national security as a reason for his steel and aluminum trade tariffs was kind of insulting a point reiterated by his foreign minister on sunday. for me what is insulting and what i object very strongly is the illegal and unjustified impersonation of tariffs on canadian steel and aluminum. the freak the national security pretext is absurd and frankly insulting to canadians the closest and strongest ally the united states has have. my kind of joins us

from washington so the fallout from this is continuing like well what else have they been saying in the us well it's quite extraordinary and what we've been seeing in the course of the day is president trump's advice is apparently competing to see who can be strongest in terms of criticizing the canadian prime minister larry kudlow the economics adviser to president accuse justin trudeau of but trail he would imply that justin trudeau had undermined president trump standing just before this all important summit in singapore peter navarro he was the trade advise the president trump went even further and this is what he had to say there's a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad faith diplomacy with president donald trump and then tries this stab them in the back on the way out the door and that's what bad trace justin trudeau did with that stunt press

conference that's what we dishonest justin trudeau did and that comes right from air force one i'll tell you this to my friends in canada that was one of the worst political miscalculations of the canadian leader in modern canadian history. but there are those within the u.s. who are deeply concerned about this ongoing war of words with canada the ongoing dispute over these trade tariffs one of them is a former national security adviser susan rice who says that the g seven allies are critical to the u.s. as national interests and she says that this dispute being fueled as she puts it by president trump and his advisers is deeply dangerous mike hanna thank you very much indeed a large fires broke out at a warehouse storing ballot boxes from last month's iraqi election apparently not been destroyed because of the blaze is not yet known but the country is preparing for a manual recount of around ten million votes following allegations of electoral fraud

president donald trump has arrived in singapore head of tuesday's historic summit with north korean leader kim jong. un touched down a few hours earlier and paid a courtesy call singapore's prime minister. a top white house adviser has accused the canadian prime minister of trying to have donald trump in the back of the g. seven summit but justin trudeau criticized the u.s. tariffs on steel and. another flow of modern ash from the four. mala as forced emergency teams to abandon their search for survivors a week after it first erupted killing at least one hundred ten people. in a two hundred thousand people have lined roads across the basque region calling for the right to decide whether they remain part of spain as a whole reports the event may bring new impetus to the basque nationalist movement and aggravate an already turbulent political scene in madrid.

it sounds a little sweet to be a protest song yet it is a call to vote and before. this demonstration in the basque region marks the start of a new bid for greater self or maybe even to break away from spain together. we've been calling for our rights for years and today is another chance to see that there's a significant percentage of citizens who want to vote and this site where putin. last month the armed separatists organization it or announced it was disbanding that gives peaceful campaigners the chance to draw a line between themselves that violent uprising which lasted decades these are the last links in a human chain that stretches from here more than two hundred kilometers or one hundred twenty miles away right up to the border with france. it wound along the highways and byways through one of the richest corners of spain the ne basque

region already has wide ranging devolved powers over health education and even taxation but some like quantrill of course who came with his grandson dream of having their own country when. there are steps to be taken first self-government and so fraught and then independent i'm not sure what that will look like but it needs to recognise our people's progress an issue moment. sunday's event comes amid turbulent times the dispute over catalonia as attempt to declare independence from the rest of spain is far from over and earlier this month the central government in madrid was toppled by a corruption scandal the incoming socialist administration has no majority and no room to maneuver on key issues such as greater self rule for space various regions but but but organizers except it may be along the campaign. different

factors mean we're closing one chapter and beginning another you must base this new chapter on democratic values and the will of the people is seen in our. it's hard to see how government leaders in madrid would ever accept moves to carve up spain into independent states. but ask these basque demonstrators join together they chant the power in the future is in their hands pen or al-jazeera vittoria spain. police in spain have arrested twenty four people believed to be involved in a child pornography ring they're accused of possessing and distributing images of children online arrests took place across spain from madrid to barcelona and the canary islands the suspects come from britain garner pakistan and ecuador. tens of thousands of women in britain have marched together to create

definitely too young to vote they belong to. the women together doing something together. and the right to do something with my daughter. but if you take. the women marching who have come from all over england then the plan is they've made highlight a whole range of issues but what they're all doing is looking back to the achievements of the softer jets and looking forward to a more equal future. and they're hoping the younger generations will be as bold as those who came before them. barbara al-jazeera. italy's interior ministry has threatened to close its ports to rescue ships if moulton doesn't taken almost six hundred migrants saved by a french charity this week walter has brushed off the request saying it has nothing to do with the rescue almost six hundred thousand african migrants have reached italy if i see over the past five years new interior minister moto so many campaign

a professor of international studies at the university of jordan he spoke to others here about why jordan has been facing economic difficulties and what they hope to achieve at the meeting in mecca. this is confusing for damien's and we expected that no one would let jordan down but unfortunately over the last two years jordan has received no funds from from the gulf he stated probably they are they have their own problem they're bogged down in in regional conflicts it's cetera but. actually you know it's better to arrive late than never i mean actually they're coming back now to jordan and they are suggesting to help jordan to get jordan out of its economic crisis and this is a statement about this in tragedy of jordan for regional stability jordan has been helping the gulf states in. propping up their security help them in different files but also in the regional security do then is very important ally for the gulf states but over the last few years you know the gulf states have their own

perception their own perception of a threat they differ i was jordan over some files and that's probably explains why they did not help jordan when jordan was in badly need for help and jordan's central it in the region is widely acknowledged. so he's now in saudi arabia to meet. i mean the gulf illegal there and i think he's he's going to talk to them from a position of strength do that could not be laid down again because if jordan descent into mayhem or an arche for god forbid begin to suffer so this is the message so it's not about we just need money from unfun from the gulf estate it's about the need to empower jordanians to be in a position to also stand up to a new regional scheme that schemes that do not actually fit into the perception of regional security. environmentalists in the australian state of victoria are skiis government to reconsider its bailout of the logging industry and involves more of
