already imposed charges on steel and alimony imports from canada mexico and you firms louie has more from beijing. the u.s. government hasn't officially announced these tariffs yet but we have known about them for a couple of weeks the u.s. had said it will publish a list of affected items on the fifteenth of june and the tariffs are expected to come into effect a couple of days after but now the two countries u.s. and china have been holding talks to try and avert a possible trade war ultimately the u.s. wants to reduce its trade deficit with china by as much as two hundred billion dollars over the next two years and the trumpet ministration has also said it wants to give american companies greater access to the chinese market believes tariffs it's one way of forcing china's hand and china has said if the u.s. goes ahead with these tyrants then all trait discussions between the two countries over the past two weeks will announce the forward china had promised to increase
8:06 am
its purchases of u.s. energy and farm products much as seventy eight billion dollars and now it appears that they will no longer want to commit to that if the trumpet ministration goes ahead with these tariffs and the terrorists will also likely complicate the relationship between the two countries at a time when the u.s. needs china's help in enforcing tougher u.n. sanctions on north korea and the trumpet ministration believes it was tough the u.n. sanctions that forced north korea to the negotiating table and allowed the summit in singapore to take place but some analysts also believe that because the talks between the u.s. and north korea were a success that this now and gives the u.s. a lot more leeway to be tough on trade with china because ultimately china will not want to derail the process as denuclearization on the korean peninsula is consistent with china's security interests along those singapore talks the u.s. actually of state says sanctions against north korea will not be lifted until it

8:08 am
a way not to separate them one of their ways not to separate the children is not to let them even seek asylum which is a right that people have in the world to seek asylum so that's not a solution a solution is not to tear children from their parents. speaking to reporters at a briefing white house press secretary sarah saunders addressed comments by u.s. attorney general jeff sessions of course of the bible in defense of the border policy shifted the blame on to democrats for not coming up with better legislation to deal with undocumented migrants i'm not aware of the attorney general's comments or what he would be referencing i can say that it is very biblical to enforce the law that is actually repeated a number of times throughout the bible however there's a hold on jim if you'll let me again i'm not going to comment on any specific
8:09 am
comments that i haven't seen because not what i said and i know it's hard for you to understand even short sentences i guess but please don't take my words out of context but the separation of the legal family and families is the product of the same legal loopholes that democrats refused to close and these laws are the same that have been on the books fruit for a decade and the president is simply enforcing them. they were all the republican policy in the u.s. house of representatives as outlined its immigration bill to be considered next week it would prohibit the separation of the children from their parents and to u.s. borders it would also include a pathway to citizenship for the so-called dream young immigrants brought to the u.s. illegally as children and media reports say it will also some twenty five billion dollars for the construction of a border wall. has more from los angeles. there are a hundred people have gathered here in macarthur park in los angeles outraged by

8:11 am
tension is inefficient compared to other options that are available. this is the thing that's being lost in this debate there are many alternatives to separating parents and children for about five percent of the cost you can use what's called electronic monitoring that will keep track of families together you can do it by cell phone or by watch or by a gold bracelet whatever it may be that has they leave your daily reporting requirements where you verify you are you know living in the location where you're supposed to be living and you're going to the hearings of the proceedings you need to be going to and if you violate that fine then we can put you in that then jhon but you don't need to start with the presumption of the tension secondly the united states can work with mexico and actually create family processing centers in mexico where people can make claims for refugee status and then you don't need to separate anybody because people with valid refugee claims can be brought into the united states and people who violate those claims are not valid would then not be brought

into the united states well the issue of immigration is causing a major split in germany between angela merkel's christian democrats that both are insist upon the question social duty and the c.s.a. wants to refuse entry to people he's already made asylum claims elsewhere in europe something chancellor merkel which acts the mccain has more from ballen. the row over what to do with people who come to germany claiming refugee status who had already done so initially in the first e.u. country in which they made landfall has really blown up in the course of thursday the issue has been one that has dogged the the formation of a grand coalition government and now the bavarian allies of the christian social union is putting its foot down its leader it's the minister the federal interior minister mr horses a whole for who is effectively the leader of the party on a national level federally anyway has said he wants to go back to the conditions
8:13 am
that prevailed in twenty fifteen before angle americal open the borders to people with that famous phrase version of and us germany can do it i'm going to merkel disagrees very considerably she says no the should be no return to that status immediately that it should be there should be some sort of compromise solution her partners the social democrats will they agree they do not want to see germany go back to those those scenes of the summer of twenty fifteen the point here is that the coalition that exists right now has a smallish majority if there were a real problem between the bavarian party and angela merkel's party that could spell real trouble but the point also to make is that it's as if the main parties have marched up to the edge of a precipice in the course of today looked over the side of the precipice and thought well actually let's stand back from that the next step here will be what the leadership of the c.s.u. decides and we'll know that in munich on monday. that the impasse the scenes outside argentina's congress building after politicians now really voted in favor

8:16 am
quite difficult to see for and hey at least he's not received here in the company and a little bit they put his time there in the senate john kerry is going to be the most difficult the numbers are i really really bad at the moment but what we are we're doing these like step by step a green revolution has taken over large sectors of argentina society they have managed to convince lawmakers that legalizing abortion is a matter of public health that urgently needs to be addressed that is i will want to cite is. hair on al-jazeera us for a fraction of the money as promised to the syrian human rights group the white towel nets. and the un's belief this warning gets about the risk climate change poses to the planet.

scandal since watergate as a candidate us president donald trump still used those conclusions to bash his opponent arguing she was corrupt. and after he became president he took it a step further saying komi himself was corrupt trump says he fired his f.b.i. director chris handling of a separate investigation into allegations the president's campaign colluded with the russian government now a new report by the department of justice inspector general says the komi team made errors while investigating clinton for weeks the president has suggested the findings will vindicate him and his decision to fire colby and prove the f.b.i. is out to get him in it the justice department argues some of ploys showed a clear bias against the campaign one employed peter struck even texting he'd like to stop trump the conduct by these employees cast a cloud over the entire investigation the i.g.
8:22 am
report causes a great deal of concern and i think points out the political bias that the president's been talking about but the report also concludes we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that improper considerations including political bias directly affected the specific investigative decisions the current f.b.i. director argues the employees named in the report have been removed from any investigation involving the president and may face disciplinary action nothing in this report impugns the integrity of our workforce as a whole or the f.b.i. as an institution komi reacted to the report calling it reasonable even if he disagrees with some of its findings and as the russia investigation continues the president may now use this report as proof of why that probe should end kimberlee help at al-jazeera at the white house the timing ministrations were nice to have

pledge any funding conference for the syrian people however the trumpet ministration shortly thereafter said that as part of its strategy to not be as involved in syria as it has been in the past that it was going to freeze that two hundred million dollars pledge the six point six million announced on thursday is less than three percent of that figure on thursday as it happens the u.n. special envoy for syria stefan dema stora indicated that he would soon be meeting with officials from a number of countries including the us in order to talk about the way to try to resolve the civil war through peace talks he did not however talk about the emergency funding going to the white helmets but one point that demo store did make to reporters in geneva on thursday is that he's not optimistic that a peaceful solution can be found quickly but that he said that after four years of being in the job he feels
