seven summit in canada where dog trump refused to endorse the final communique some analysts say the unified message from china also presents a challenge to the west in that world order florence three al-jazeera beijing. the white house has stepped up its verbal attacks on justin trudeau with a top adviser saying the canadian prime minister tried to stab donald trump in the back of the g seven summits it comes after mr trudeau told reporters that don't chance decision to invoke national security as a reason for his still trade tariffs was kind of insulting mike hanna has more. the canadian prime minister declined any further comment in the course of the day here because in a queue leaving it to his foreign minister to reiterate canada's position in the ongoing argument about trade tariffs the national security pretext is absurd and frankly insulting to canadians the closest and strongest ally the

united states has habits we can't post a security threat to the united states but advisors doubled down on president trump strong comments treated while waiting to takeoff from kopecks city saturday in which he withdrew from the g seven agreement just minutes after it had been announced by justin trudeau there's a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad faith diplomacy with president donald trump and then tries to stab them in the back on the way out the door and that's what bad phrasing justin trudeau did with that stunt press conference. concern expressed by president trump's critics the g seven partners our closest allies in the world we share values we share interests we share security and for the president the united states to walk into that session and to essentially blow it up and disrespect our allies while embracing. russia. and giving benefits to china countries that are not our allies and in the case of

russia indeed our declared adversary is very worrisome and very destructive the divide created within what was once a united g seven group clearly illustrated in a series of photos posted by the white house itself mike hanna al-jazeera washington or let's get more on this now from rosslyn jordan who is live for us and washington d.c. rather than calming everything down it really feels like this is turning into a war of words or also what are both sides been saying. well as we've heard the u.s. president has been saying some rather inflammatory things about the g seven host justin trudeau the prime minister of canada and number of officials from the other g seven countries have essentially responded in kind. of the chancellor of germany has even reiterated that the e.u.

will be looking at retaliate hoary tariffs if the u.s. does continue with the expansion of tariffs against goods from the european union however one official in merkel's own party is saying that the leaders of the g seven should not take donald trump's bait that they simply need to worry about the issues that are facing these large industrialized nations and try to avoid engaging in the rhetoric his argument is that this essentially is feeding into what donald trump wants which is political support from those who back him here in the united states when you go the german chancellor angela merkel saying that tunnel chum's tweets are sobering and depressing it's really look like the u.s. is getting more and more isolated and we're now looking at g six. i don't know whether the united states would formally pull out of this forum

because this is essentially a place where the heads of state and the heads of government in some cases actually get to come together to talk about the macro economic issues that affect not just their economies but also have an impact on how they engage with countries particularly in the developing world and so i don't know that you're going to see the united states which really was the driver as people will recall of bretton woods which helped set up the world bank and the international monetary fund actually leaving this group however we're now a year and a half into the trumpet ministration and it's really really impossible to say that a u.s. departure from the g seven couldn't actually happen i think it's probably less likely than a russia being reinstated because of the ongoing efforts by the european countries to try to hold it accountable for its interference not just in ukrainian affairs

but in its interference in issues in the middle east as well could you get your thoughts on this. from washington d.c. . still to come on this al-jazeera news out of baghdad where house holding voting papers from last month's contested iraqi election goes up in flames human rights groups say saudi arabia has arrested two more female activists who campaigned for the right to drive and in sports sunday near plays host to one of the closest finishes in world rally championship history. another flow of modern the ash from the for a goal kenya in guatemala has forced emergency teams to abandon their search for survivors rescuers say there's little hope of finding anyone else alive after last

fraud charles strafford has more from baghdad. and we don't have that story for you at the moment but we do have our correspondent marion a sanchez who is joining us now from a morgan eskridge in guatemala on that volcano story so marina what kind of information are officials giving to families who who have lost their loved ones or indeed if the missing. yes so we are in front of the morgue in a screen and all of the people behind me are family members of people who have died in this tragedy one week ago a lot of these people have been here since monday and they tell us it's been very hard because they haven't received much information from authorities one woman was telling us she lost sixteen family members she has already identified six and still

have ten more to go so it's a very difficult and thought process for these people now they are also telling me that they have not received any not only information but all for from the government to help them these are people who not only have lost their family members but they also have lost farms they have lost homes so they are waiting for the to help them however the most important thing for them is to be able to find their loved ones and bury them there's also been criticism from day one really about the government's handling of the disaster what kind of things are people saying. that's right there's a lot of criticism about the way the agencies the security agencies have handled this prosecutors are already investigating whether the response agencies were

negligent also there was a protest last night on saturday against the president alice people were demanding his resignation or for being in a mission in the response. to this it tragedy but there's also questions about how it was possible that there was the very small issue of of a golf club very close by to the will cain where to raise and employ. three hundred people were thinking we evacuated before the tragedy happened and and the gold club was completely destroyed by this now what we what we are heard of is that one person there an employee saw all the way the book you know was behaving and it's time to leave so people are questioning that and saying why is it not possible that members of the government of the agency did not recognize that on time and

were fast and forcibly. forcibly take people out of the east of the other communities so these are all questions that hopefully will be answered for these people in the next few days many thanks mario sanchez talking to us about the plight of those caught up in that will. let's take you back now to that large fire that has broken out at a warehouse store in ballot boxes from last month's iraq election fraud has more from baghdad. thick black smoke over the result of a district in eastern baghdad iraq's ministry of interior say the fire started in a building used to store ballot boxes and electronic voting machines from the disputed parliamentary election a month ago. iraq's parliament voted last week for a countrywide to manual recount of ballots of the allegations of voting fraud. one in peace at the fire was started deliberately and cooled on the government to

better protect buildings where ballot boxes are being stored and i imagine how the brunt of this three warehouses there are important but it's books and firefighters are inside trying to present the fire earlier in the day nine judges were appointed to oversee the manual recount of votes nationwide the process is expected to take at least a couple of weeks. the government sanct senior members of the election commission which oversaw the vote counting prime minister hydrilla body has banned them from leaving the country and warned that anyone suspected of being involved in election fraud could face criminal charges iraq's first election since the defeat of eisel was praised for the lack of violence in the run up to and during polling day on may twelfth but since then much has changed allegations of fraud leading to parliament's vote for a countrywide manual recounts of throwing the transparency of this election into

highlands loggers are accused of destroying the forests habitats of endangered wildlife the aftermath of logging looks brutal in fact burning long ground helps regeneration those in the industry say they're committed to responsible logging we have a regime that i'm still balance the needs of conservation and the industry and regional economies and and communities but conservationists say the industry and the government that in part owns it has got the balance wrong propping up a declining industry prioritizing jobs over trees when the owners of this mill said cuts to its would supply would force it out of business the state government paid tens of millions of dollars to keep it going you can look at it as bailing out after you can look at investing in a strong industry and a community that's had a rich heritage in supplying the till but timber that has built our towns.

it's a heritage though that's been at the cost of forests and the creatures that rely on them in the two hundred years since european colonization most of southeastern australia as old as trees have been lost in victoria central highlands only about one percent of the mountain ash trees are more than a century old that matters because the oldest trees on the stumps of big dead ones developed hollow areas that animals like the now critically endangered leadbeater possums live in conservationists with night vision equipment look for them in areas about to be logged every sighting on the web as possum that we get there's a two hundred made a protection buffer against logging all the old astri's and big dead ones are supposed to be off limits to this is an example of what's called a dead hollow bearing tree that has been protected all the younger living trees that would have stood all around it have been felled but it's been left alone

environmentalist though don't think anything like enough trees have been in this entire log area it's the only one that's been left standing there are completely burnt out stumps of similar trees nearby but researches say exclusion zones around individual animals and preserving just the very oldest trees does not go far enough they want large scale protection of middle age seventy or eighty year old trees too that is their next growth forest i've got another fifty years before they start becoming a whole logically mature we need some of those trees to be very or growth forest that would mean excluding much bigger areas from logging economically and politically that could hurt andrew thomas al-jazeera in australia as victoria's central highlands. still to come on al-jazeera.
