answers in these types of things donald trump summit in singapore may have strengthened his determination to act for years the u.s. look to china to help bring in a new strain north korea but convinced he's built up a solid relationship with kim jong un the president perhaps feels he's in a stronger position to act on trade. the industries targeted aloose tied to china is made in china twenty twenty five strategic plan to dominate the emerging high technology industries drive future economic growth but hunt for us and others china has warned when the first set of targets hit on july the sixth it will respond that will spark a second round of titus from the us to move on the alito or treat each area is consistent in its stance that if the us adopts any unilateral protectionist measures and damages china's interests we will immediately react and take necessary measures to firmly safeguard our legitimate rights and interests there are those in this town and those in this white house who privately believe that

a long term trade war with china would be bad for the u.s. economy and for u.s. consumers but donald trump is the living on a campaign promise and he believes a trade war would be good for the u.s. and it's a war he can when alan fischer al-jazeera at the white house where robert scott is from the economic policy institute he says an exchange and terraces lighted to her china's economy more than the u.s. is. this is something that trump campaigned on he promised that he was going to get tough on china in particular during his election campaign and he has been moving forward in fits and starts it's not entirely a coherent program but he is certainly taking strong action and that was sorely needed i think it's going to be disruption but i don't think it's going to have an enormous impact for example the tariffs on fifty billion dollars worth of goods that trump announced amount to an infinitesimally small share of the economy about six one hundred to one percent of g.d.p.

if you add it all up and in fact a federal reserve chairman powell said yesterday that there is no evidence to date and all that the trip the tariffs announced today have had any apparent impact on the economic numbers that he say so this is going to be a really small change in the overall scope of the economy for the united states or china it could be a much bigger impact a u.s. judge just sent donald trump's former campaign manager to jail prosecutors say pull money for try to interfere with witnesses connected to the investigation of russian meddling in the trying to sixteen election in a tweet president from colby decision tough and i'm sad to go he reports in washington. paul metaphor begin his day a free man and ended it in handcuffs my man the judge had told him he could stay under house arrest until his trial but then the government accused metaphor of trying to tamper with two witnesses and alter their testimony the judge said metaphor it was treating his trial like a marketing campaign abused her trust undermined the credibility of the court so

and zero offer disagree vehemently they want to abandon the scheme in place since merkel open the borders in twenty fifteen allowing in more than a million refugees instead they say germany must be prepared to act unilaterally to control its borders independent of you commit its interior ministers a whole for his even threatened to put border controls back into place next week a move that would leave his position in medicals cabinet untenable really need. i do not wish to hide from you that we're in a very serious situation there's been talk of a historic situation our colleagues from the c.s.u. have unanimously expressed their one hundred percent support of course to see how the master plan and the rejection of migrant to tout borders. the problem for merkel is that without the c s news folks in parliament she would lose her majority as a string for three girls the court of throne britain. so it's possible that the coalition

falls apart because the c.s.u. part of it is really in an ideological conflict with the non nationalist and non nationalist orientated chancellor that means that the populist right that the c.s.u. has become and merkel's centrist approach do not fit together and going to merkel believes it's only at the europe wide level that a comprehensive solution can be found she's pinning her hopes on the coming in new summit in brussels but critics on the right say a glance around europe's capitals suggests that many governments don't share her views and all the while this route with the c.s.u. remains unresolved dominant cain al-jazeera well in in yemen the saudi led coalition is seize the entrance to the airport in the country's main port city the operation to retake rebel held her data from iranian back to the fighters was launched three days ago the coalition says it can capture the area without disrupting aid to millions of yemenis who needed humanitarian agencies are worried

welcome back a quick reminder the top stories on al-jazeera u.s. president donald trump has announced a twenty five percent tariff on fifty billion dollars worth of chinese goods it brings the world's two biggest economies one step closer to the brink of a trade war china's hit back with its own tyrus of twenty five percent on u.s. goods. u.s. judges sent donald trump's former campaign manager to jail prosecutors say paul metaphor tried to interfere with witnesses connected to the probe of russian meddling in the twenty sixth election in a tweet president from call the decision tough and unfair. the leaders of france and italy have met in paris to end a diplomatic route of the fate of refugees who tried to enter europe both insist the e.u. is migration policy needs to be overhauled. now opposition is growing in the u.s.

it moves to separate immigrant children from parents who enter the country illegally and the government struggling to repair facilities along the border that will house the children under lock and key as more. akio come forward tell your story it was six years ago that francisco juarez learned he could attend university in the u.s. and work without fear of deportation i stand here proud to share that i am the first my family to graduate from college but on this anniversary of the doc a policy that allowed young undocumented immigrants to step out of the shadows the trumpet administration is putting other children in detention at the us mexico border the government has separated at least two thousand children from their parents since trump's zero tolerance policy for illegal crossings took effect in april children are being held in makeshift detention centers while their parents face criminal prosecution we have my dad who are having their impotence in been

taken away from them because they're playing violent and we are scarring those children for life by taking them away and institutionalizing them the president added if you made a separate families from their children the administration has used the bible as justification for the policy but on friday president trump falsely blamed the opposition party that democrats forced to that law upon our nation i hated i hate to see separation of parents and children the democrats can come to us as they actually are in all fairness we are talking to him and they can change the whole border security we need a wall we need border security trumps immigration crackdown including cancelling the obama policy of helping young immigrants called dreamers was a campaign promise and remains popular with his supporters it's all political the president is throw red meat to his base when he does that he's using children whether they're dreamers or whether they're little children at the border now for

a political purpose it's shameful. joins us now live from washington d.c. hi i do so how is the public reacted to the separation of parents and children. and so a sense this policy started it needed april there have been more than two thousand children taken from their parents at the border and that has crossed a moral line for much of the public here in the u.s. we saw people taking to the streets in major u.s. cities in protest and the trump administration's rationale for this policy was that it would work to deter future families from attempting to make that border crossing knowing that their children would be taken away however the numbers have not borne that theory out rather in may of this year we saw just a steady increase of those still heavy numbers the large numbers of people crossing

the border without authorization many of them fleeing poverty and gains from central america and how do we know that u.s. attorney general jeff sessions has been defending trump's line on immigration is that any movement in congress to address the issue. there is in both there are two bills that are pending both being written by republicans who control both houses of congress and they do both include the demands of donald trump which is to have funding for the border wall as well as drastically curb the number of illegal immigrants emitted to the country one version would limit that by half over the next ten years in exchange republicans are offering to help those dreamers either find a pathway to citizenship or some form of normalization legalisation democrats have to sign on at least a few of them in order for any of these bills to pass and they say though to help the dreamers is what they want to do however to pass those other hard line

immigration changes would be a very bitter pill to swallow daryn thank you. former malaysian prime minister najib razak maybe a charge in a corruption case was alleged involvement in the money laundering scandal but a large part of the shock election loss earlier this year the prime minister mahathir mohamad as vowed to bring back the money stolen from the state fund and punish those responsible to the pollen reports from portugal. it's one of the biggest ever turn outs for prime ministers open house the annual celebrations held at the residence of malaysia's leader to mark the start of the muslim holiday of either addressing the crowd mahathir mohamad thanked the supporters who helped him and his coalition and the sixty year rule of the previous government last month. this is democracy and it means that people are free to trust their government if they find it a government and is no longer suitable through votes we can change the government

and the people here are well aware of it. they don't have any other way based on my observation they sit in promises that they may fulfil but we won something that is fair and transparent so we are informed of what had happened to our country we shifted new government i think i suspect nation probably feed. the cites you know the old woman the fear that. quite a lot but the former prime minister najib razak is being investigated for money laundering and misappropriation of property it's related to a corruption scandal in which state money was allegedly used to pay for the lifestyle of politicians and businessmen around the world sending the country into debt it's what martha says forced him out of retirement with a promise to clean up the government prime minister mahathir mohamad is credited with bringing together not only a divided population but also of a political party with one common goal change but as the new government formed

there are concerns he won't be able to keep the different groups united long enough to deliver the proposed reforms. the ruling coalition known as the alliance of hope is made up of politicians across the spectrum many had been jailed by my player himself when he was prime minister from one thousand nine hundred eighty two to two thousand and three the opposition coming to join you doubt it can lead to fractious relationship it depends on whether his ideas can be tolerated because some may not like the choice of you know the. top people one month on might there is still putting together a cabinet with the eventual aim of a clean and transparent government but get watching. whatever changes that has been promised to take for. the actually meeting and what mark there mohammad at the age of ninety three is now responsible for ending a system of cooney ism and corruption that has been
