the port city is a lifeline not only to the who these but to the entire yemeni population we're just a war any fighting in the city of her data we want for peace to be employment that across the nation. we the residents of a data city want to live in peace and security we don't want war we don't want fighting of any kind enough is enough the saudi a democratic led coalition want to tease to hand over control of the port either to a un supervised committee or yemen's government. the accused rebels of importing weapons from iran saudi arabia says it can seize the city quickly enough to avoid interrupting flows of aid but them will not be moved by parties proposed new minutes hearing aid plans aiming to make sure the external humanitarian assistance can access yemen through her data. the saudi led proposal is a nonstarter and

a suspicious of any attempts by the un envoy to broker peace. the war in yemen has already caused the world's worst humanitarian crisis and there are fears of worse to come we are very fearful that any kind of blockage. of the free flow of humanitarian food also commercial stocks of particularly food and fuel could have a major impact on people who are already highly vulnerable as some of the middle east's richest countries fight the region's poorest the u.n. special envoy is reinforcing the international appeals to stop the destruction. or we'll weather check next but still to come he's getting support to build voters but will that be enough for gustavo petro to become colombia's first left wing president.

out of the remaining heat there was once you were white a couple of weeks ago is down the bottom right hand corners are circulating slow storms within what is too pretty warm and humid weather some of them in pretty vicious storms flash flooding the bit of hail and that's likely to continue anywhere really from longer in plane than towards turkey tries to grease coming northwest corner disappointing changing weather recently being wet and windy with the usual for june at eighty degrees the next in temperature in london on sunday a bright eighty eight in paris and that doesn't change hugely right in time you can get to monday slowing trees in temperature that she's the dread is the one that does best at such two degrees that is an average temperature haven't seen that for again for weeks now the picture and down the southeast course seeing seeing

a slow drop in temperature as a result of this persistent feeding of cool draft in the north and the shaft for out of the sky so disappointing because some of their however come back over the water and apart from a breeze it's fine looking weather north africa is universally dried temps are quite high in each of us went up to forty eight there on the coast so it got study middle twenty's it's slowly getting warmer two is up to twenty nine and she is up to twenty seven even the bat is warming up.

welcome back you're watching out is there i'm still robin a reminder of our top news stories the first of three boats carrying hundreds of refugees turned away by italy and multi as arrived in the spanish port city of valencia many of them are from south sudan and eritrea and were rescued off the coast of libya. greece and it say the macedonia are due to sign a document within the hour little that their leaders hope will resolve a longstanding dispute under the deal macedonia will change its name to distinguish

itself from its greek province which is a kind of a let's face opposition to the agreement in both countries. fighting is intensifying between the saudi led coalition with the rebels and yemen's red sea city of data with both sides now claiming to control the airport. let's head to south asia now where an afghan government ceasefire with the taliban has been extended to despite a suicide bombing that killed at least twenty six people a temporary truce was in place in the eastern province of when the attack happened on still has claimed responsibility though it happened as politicians security forces and taliban fighters celebrated the eve holiday together there's no response yet from the taliban about whether it agrees to extend the truce. we hope for a peaceful and stable afghanistan we must be proud of this peaceful moment and we hope it will last forever. at least eight people have been injured after

a taxi was driven into a crowd in russia it happened near red square in moscow was many world cup tourist gathered witnesses say the driver of the taxi ran from the scene before bystanders caught him already say the driver lost control of the vehicle but wasn't drunk. well there are certainly some peculiarities to saturday's incident in moscow in the immediate aftermath of the news first breaking that a taxi and driven into protests ruins walking in central moscow course the assumption that a lot of people jumped to was that this was a deliberate attack the kind we've seen in cities across the world in the last couple of years but your florence's came out quite quickly and said no the initial information suggests that the driver kyrgyz had lost control of the vehicle he'd been arrested and various charges have already been brought against him. but then

the footage was released which actually search shows something a little bit different it seems to show the driver. pulling purposefully off the road he was standing in stationary traffic mounting the car and then driving quite far into the pedestrians making it look like a much more deliberate thing of course there are ways in which you could explain that away more innocently but it does raise questions and the russian authorities do have previous history do have form in taking a very long time to attribute things to deliberate actions i'm talking about the bombing of a plane over the sinai peninsula in egypt a few years ago which the russians didn't want to say was related to any kind of terrorist act as they eventually ended up calling it. the russians have a very high profile events going on at the moment the world cup there under the international spotlight they want it to go off without

a hitch and so i suspect that they might try to say that anything like this that happens is not a deliberate attack until the all the evidence shows and i think otherwise. you can argue his capital have killed at least eight people shattering a short lived truce between president will take a and protesters who want him gold among those killed in managua six members of one family including two total is full today agent has what. police in managua say a group of hooded men threw a fire bomb into this house. a family of six killed in the fire including two children and medics failed to resuscitate. the saudi and of my two cousins survived one was burned and the other was hit she fell onto the balcony she was thrown in glass toward my body my hands my head as we got out of here he got out by for his. neighbors assisted firefighters and dousing the blaze while helping survivors

confrontations between heavily armed soldiers and demonstrators armed with rocks and slingshots. protesters are calling on ortega's government to end the violence which the president blames on foreign agitators and drug cartels the latest violence flared hours after troops have been signed between the government and civic groups right now there's no external institution no internal. real leadership that can bring about a change here who just wanted name in the president has yet to respond to demands by the catholic church for early elections ortigas third term as head of one of the poorest countries in the americas is set to end in two thousand and twenty one the violence meanwhile has splintered the country between loyalists and protesters slowing down tours i'm investments and grinding the country's economy to a halt. on al-jazeera. the u.s.

president has used his weekly address to blame a rival democratic party politicians for not closing loopholes that allow a gang members into the country told some says the democrats are protecting immigrant criminals connected to violent groups like imus the team his administration has adopted a zero tolerance policy to immigrants crossing the border illegally but it's facing particular criticism from separating children from parents as that detained. no voting will begin later in colombia for a runoff a presidential election the choice is between conservative even decay and his left wing rival gustavo petro petro has vowed to tackle inequality but something the former guerilla could turn colombia into another venezuela and galahad reports now from bogota. petro has captured the imagination of colombia's young voters his stance on tackling inequality reducing reliance on carbon fuels and ending the

status quo of right wing politics appeals to a new generation eager for change it's sort of all got to get it's time to end two hundred years of the same families governing us this is the chance for free citizenship and equality for all i think is the only candidate that has a long term vision for our country when it comes to fighting climate change and creating a modern liberal democracy no stranger to politics gustavo petro is a former member of the rebel group four years ago he became the mayor of bug one of the most powerful political positions in the country his tenure was marred by controversy critics say autocratic style was abrasive a supporter of the historic peace accords with the fog rebels this intellect of the left has emerged as a real contender. whatever happens gustavo petro has the distinction of being the most successful leftist candidate in this country's history he does however face some stiff opposition particularly from those in the business community say a petro presidency could lead to economic ruin. oh when we meet mario hernandez at

his factory in bogota he's enthusiastically handing out caps emblazoned with the name of petros opponent dukie and mendez is one of the biggest manufacturers in colombia like many in the business community he's concerned that petros policies are antibusiness. i don't know what he hears against the productive class he wants to tweak land found to be gone and give a small plot of land to farmers that's not how you run the country you care to generate employment doxies and consumption. to winnow through needs the support of undecided voters like artist gabrielle or sanchez she's leaning towards the fifty eight year old and tells us she's feeling pressure to decide i feel it and this social media a lot of people all the time say if you vote for. people like this. and

a lot of hate. for decades colombia's fought against leftist guerrillas now one is a leading presidential candidate with a chance of shaping this country's future and again look at al-jazeera columbia. the australia will not be moving its embassy in israel to jerusalem despite a push to do so among some of its conservative coalition government the youth arm of the senior party called for the government to move the move following the u.s. president's lead and relocate to tel aviv it voted of forty three to thirty one in favor of the move but the foreign ministers rejecting the idea last month the u.s. open its embassy in jerusalem which recognizes israel's capital. and i trust you will see our special envoy. julian is surely has visited the iraqi city of mosul to meet families left destitute after the defeat of ice all the armed group was pushed out almost a year ago it all key point because over three years turning it into

a document shortly that their leaders hope will resolve a longstanding dispute under the deal macedonia will change its name to distinguish itself from a greek province with the same name however there is fierce opposition to the agreement in both countries greece's government had to overcome a no confidence motion on the issue in parliament late on saturday. fighting is intensifying between the saudi led coalition and who the rebels are yemen's red sea port of data with both sides now claiming to control the airport thousands of residents are now trapped five days into the offensive making them vulnerable to starvation and a barrel of air and ground attacks. and afghan government ceasefire with the taliban has been extended to despite a suicide bombing that killed at least twenty six people a temporary truce was in place in the eastern province of manga harm when the attack happened i saw the claimed responsibility it happened as politicians curity forces and taliban fighters celebrated the holiday together there's no response yet

we understand the differences and the similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter where you call home al-jazeera will bring in the news and current of things that matter to you. out is iraq. on the brink of a trade war china and the united states the world's two biggest economies beijing hits back at donald trump's new tab so what has america first approach backfire and what will it mean for global trade this is inside story. and welcome to the program i'm elizabeth pradhan the last ten years so a marked improvement in trade between the united states and china the trams battle

of the tariffs is threatening that and there are fears of an all out trade war the us is putting on fifty billion dollars worth of chinese imports the president says he wants a fairer trade with china but bay gangs five back with a tit for tat response it's published a list of more than six hundred american products it plans to hit with its own taxes is it a case of who blinks first of this economic brinkmanship we'll talk to our guests in a moment but first florence louis reports from beijing tit for tat that's one way to describe the first shots in what's brewing to be a tariff war between the world's two largest economies the u.s. struck first with a twenty five percent tax on certain chinese imports worth fifty billion dollars china's counterpunch an announcement that six hundred fifty nine types of u.s. goods also worth fifty billion dollars will be subject to tariffs the first round comes into effect on the sixth of july and affects products ranging from soybean to

seafood to costs there china feels like it's been the strong it's at the strongest point that it's been in hundreds of years it feels like it's ascendant and so it's not likely to back down. some of the terrorists will likely bite chinese consumers the high a tax on soybean imported from the us some of which is used for pig feet could ultimately drive up the price of domestic pork. but the tariffs could also hurt american farmers if china the u.s. is largest buyer of soybeans finds substitutes elsewhere u.s. president donald trump has been hammering china on trade for months with protection everybody take care of the hundred fifty one building that was enough for us to get the work that told you that china if you look at japan like that you have going to look at something and we have six countries militarily and have a serious but what point does it stop the u.s. tariffs target industries tied to china's made in china twenty twenty five

a blueprint to dominate high technology industries they're also intended to punish the chinese for what the u.s. calls intellectual property theft and unfair trade practices one trade expert says a u.s. trade battle with china will impact global markets it creates instability uncertainty reduces particularly investor uncertainty for long term investors private business capital expenses and these types of things trumps summit in singapore may have strengthened his determination to act for years the u.s. looked to china to help restrain north korea but convinced he has built a relationship with north korean leader kim jong trump perhaps feels he's in a stronger position to be tougher on trade with china the trade war seems to have only just begun trump has threatened to slap taxes on more goods if china goes ahead with the tariffs chinese state media meanwhile says china has taken note of the statement and reserves its right to take corresponding measures torrence three

hour jazeera beijing. well let's have a look at the amount of trade between the u.s. and china. last year goods and services were worth a total of seven hundred eleven billion dollars china was the third largest market for u.s. exports and all time high u.s. exports to china were worth one hundred thirty billion dollars while u.s. imports from china exceeded five hundred billion so the difference of the trade deficit was also a record high of three hundred and seventy billion well let's bring in our guests now joining us from london is philip le grain political economist and former special advisor to the director general of the world trade organization and beijing is on the tangan china political analyst who advises the chinese government on economic and development issues and from birmingham in the united kingdom is scott lucas professor of american politics at the university of birmingham a very warm welcome to all of you mr tang and let me start with you you know

president make so much of this trade deficit hadn't one of the biggest reasons for imposing these terrorists but is that as simple or even as big as he's making it out to be. well is he seems to have a very poor understanding of what deficits are he keeps insisting that he has a deficit with counted when in fact that is not true and in terms of china it is not as simplistic as he things there are over three hundred fifty billion dollars a year that are is being sold and trying to but produced in china by u.s. companies that is also under threat when you start putting it all together what you have is actually a very early even trade balance china has only about ten billion dollars worth of things that it produces in the u.s. and sells in the u.s. so it's not going to be this one sided idea that he has that he can sort of force doing this this kind of bully playground idea plus remember he is not only at war

with china he's at war with the e.u. and in mexico as well as a host of other nations including russia mr crane i know that you've written extensively about this is the trade deficit as black and white as donald trump seize it. well i mean he seems to see a trade deficit as somehow a loss of american income which it isn't in the main reason and he seems to see it as a sign of that other trading unfairly and that's not necessarily true either i mean the main reason why the u.s. has a trade deficit is because it doesn't save enough and that is something which is own irresponsible fiscal policy is only going to make it worse and in terms of the trading relationship or one of the reasons why there is such a big trade with the u.s. which big trade deficit with china according to official figures is because there

are many parts and components which are assembled into finished products in china and then shipped to the u.s. and therefore the traders districts they count as an entirely chinese exports but in the case for example of the i phone which is merely assembled in china the value added actually comes from china is roughly about six percent and that's an extreme example but it tells you actually the deficit is smaller than he says it is more importantly in a bilateral trade deficit with china in and of itself is not a is not a problem mr lucas let me bring you in now the u.s. administration you know also says as well as the trade deficit that the tabs are in effort to protect american intellectual property that china is stealing is china stealing american intellectual property and if so are these tariffs a way to address that issue. well i the question about and what for probably is a long running issue it predates the trump administration and the pashtun is when

china has american companies that operate is it in some white taking information from them learning about practices learning about technology is it doing the same by trying to get into america and by some means getting technology from u.s. companies but there is a proper way for addressing that which is for example through the world trade organization there is a proper way for addressing that indeed in talks with the chinese let's be very clear here the trapping of the stray ssion is only using information. or intellectual property as sort of an excuse this is not a policy driven by that as much as it is by political considerations and by trump's misunderstanding fundamental misunderstanding about how economic trade works and i do want to talk about the political implications that is going to have nationally for donald trump especially in a year with as mid-term elections coming up but mr tang and let me come to you now is this i mean they were talks with the chinese government with the trade

representatives before donald trump announced that he would go ahead with these tariffs so why didn't why wasn't anything resolved in those talks do you think. well there's a number of theories about that and one of them is that trump is using it's basically sucking all the oxygen out of the air by dropping these media bombs on a weekly basis to keep the press attention away from some of the investigations and ongoing lawsuits that he seems to be embroiled in it is certainly working from the perspective that his approval rating is high the american public likes a president who appears to be doing things that seem very very strong i don't know if they'll feel the same way when farmers and manufacturers start going out of business or losing it remember every time you institute one of these tariffs on things coming in the u.s. you're just simply raising the cost of doing business and american products become

competitive and this is of course going to have an impact mist and a grain u.s. trade representative robert life has a said that they hope that this leads to further negotiations and not a rash reaction from china we've already seen the reaction so how likely is more negotiations and not a so-called rash reaction. well i mean this trade war has been on then of and now it's on again the discussions of started a deal seem to have been reached and then trump overruled his treasury secretary these tyrus won't be imposed the first tranche of to the states is a lie and it's quite possible that before then some kind of deal will be reached i mean i think the big problem is that trump is so erratic you know he says one thing and then the next day says another there's very little incentive for anyone actually to negotiate history with him why make any kind of concession if either a

he'll go back on it the next day or be. asking for more very soon so i think that what what's much more likely now is that we're going to see an escalation and you know the chinese have time on their side they can afford to buy their time ultimately trump faces difficult midterm elections later in the year he faces a difficult reelection in twenty twenty the chinese don't face obviously electoral pressure and they can afford to suck up the pressure and just and allow him to wear him self out mr lucas do you think that if these the policies have a negative impact on american people if they drive up costs for american consumers manufacturers then could this backfire politically for donald trump do you think. oh it could but we're talking about the trump administration or d. donald trump on a tight rope here and that is that the american economy right now as well as much

of the global economy is actually doing quite well i disagree a bit with i are in the sense that i don't think it's leading to an overwhelming surge in approval for trump i think it's more that with his base of supporters who are a minority maybe thirty thirty five percent in america it gives them something to shout about we're still doing well we can take on anybody china canada and when but if the economy goes down before november if the terrorists begin to buy before november then of course that advantage erodes i think the gamble here is by trump and his advisors is look we may suffer from the tariffs but if it doesn't occur so for the next six months we're ok because we can ride this into the elections most of the brain how long do tariffs like this take before you see a veil impact. well i mean that that the impact is immediate upis the price goes up majorly and indeed in cases where the products are freely traded the price reacts

basically so you saw that assume is the chinese and now it's already a while ago that they were thinking about retaliating against american soybean exports the price of american soybeans collapsed so it happens very quickly beyond that obviously economies adjust and so you know countries look for alternative markets to export to and alternative markets to import from and i think part of the calculation behind what the tribes doing in so far as there is any is that some of the chinese exports targeted. the production of them will be relocated about the u.s. i think that's unlikely lots of what's being targeted is low end stuff and if it's if it does move out of china it's more likely to move to somewhere like vietnam than to come back to the u.s. and mr tang and you know china has no shortage of countries at the moment to both

export to all import from the products that it needs. no absolutely i mean china has been building up its melton road initiative it's been laying down its infrastructure projects are still a little bit immature but they are looking for aussie on to make up the on and the bricks bricks and combine with a belt and road to make up almost two trillion dollars in future trade so they have their eye on the future they understand that the u.s. and china are going to have continue to have difficulties because of this perception that they are strategic competitors so i think there are no illusions here but you have to keep in mind we're talking about china now but because this is now become a concert the u.s. has become a rogue state in essence all of its chief trade partners have said that we're going to impose countervailing duties against you this is not something that's going to

go well as soon as you have a chorus of knows it's easier to add your voice voice to that chorus and that's exactly what trump has put in play let's look i could see you agreeing with that mr tang and then when he said that the u.s. has become a state and what you call that. yes i would i think you have to remember that we were talking tariffs against not only against china but against what countries that were american allies canada mexico countries of the you . japan brazil south korea all have been affected and that it's not just the economics here it's that these tariffs of them accompanied by political insults so when you get to the point where donald trump last week is saying that there is or donald trump is advisor saying there's a special place in hell wizard for canadian prime minister justin trudeau and other foreign leaders you come back to the starting point we began with and that is beyond any economic disputes here if you cannot see the american president as

predictable or reliable you enter a zone of instability that we are not used to and the effects are going to go far beyond the immediate america economic ripples so why then you know when the vast majority of economists agree that protectionism doesn't work and there's international consensus around this do we need to wait and see what impact this is going to have politically for the president why then does that not translate to criticism remain domestically all there is there is criticism domestically about i mean among what is he supporting raising voices. well because for again for the minority of supporters and my family or among them they'll backtrack come hell or high water until the economic effect bites so it's like yay we're taking on the world yay make america great again and until you lose your job or you see a rise in prices that all works but there's a second reason here we deficit it's not just trump you're talking about certain

advisors men like peter navarro steven miller who do not see this in terms of a win win economically they see this as a win lose the united states versus china the united states versus europe the united states versus canada and this new breed of protectionist political as well as economic protectionist even if they think that they're losing some support amongst other americans they simply will say fake news fake media liberals and hope that that base gets them through whatever economic damage the rest of us may suffer and so that some of the domestic politics at play you know putting america against the rest of the world so mr hanken go ahead well it's that what they're preaching is this mercan civil ism that was supposedly died but now has been a neo neo ised by these people but whether telling donald trump is that america is strong today in twenty years america will not be in the same position so the time is now to strike so they're selling this not only the zero sum ideology but they're

also saying that this is the only time that the u.s. can reassert itself and prolong its stay at the top now this is all wound into american exceptionalism that the u.s. must be politically militarily and economically hedge amman in the world in order to guide it towards this liberal capitalist. democracy that they believe is the ultimate end of all politics mr mclean you know the u.s. they are in the hair so go ahead listen i'm going. i mean the irony of course is that you know it was a pasta american presidents who created the monster that's for trade with trading system of a saw it as an extension of american power an extension of american prosperity and normally. when mom's decline they try to extend the period for which they are powerful and it would be in america's interest

to try and preserve the system that it's created in its own image and therefore prolong his power and instead of that donald trump has taken it to be a different approach which is to say actually we've been cheated i'm going to blow up the system and in so far as there is a logic to it it's that if we negotiate with countries bilaterally america is top dog will be able to get a bit better bigger a better deal and the fact is that one you need allies the united states would be much more effective in negotiating with china if it did it with with allies and secondly his own negotiating strategy of being so erratic or changing his mind all the time means that nobody actually is going to make the concessions that he's looking for i do want to introduce another negotiating strategy a possible negotiating strategy into all of this mr tang and you know china's economic might might not be their only bargaining chip here and they have many you know what about north korea because when there was

a lot of to ing and fro ing about whether the tromp kim jong un summit was going to happen and north korea was expressing serious reservations donald trump actually blamed china for that so how much leverage does china still have with north korea and couldn't use north korea in this trade war with the u.s. . i don't think in the way that you're expressing remember what donald trump came out and said is that he has no intention of the us paying for any of the economic development that north korea is going to demand in return for giving up its nukes he's looking in he is pointed at south korea and japan but the fact is china will have to be part of it i don't know exactly how he's going to achieve that if he keeps punching everybody in the nose this idea that you can push somebody and then you know they'll back down and give you their lunch money just isn't working and remember this has changed radically the appeal of the of america can you imagine

somebody in the developing world sitting there listening to donald trump who heads a nation with five percent of the world's population that consumes a total of twenty five percent of the world's annual consumption telling everybody that oh we've gotten a raw deal we're not getting what we want this kind of turning into a mass of wine or is going to turn not only the countries he's dealing with off but it's going to turn the rest of the world off listen to grain u.s. former special adviser to the director general of the world trade organization whereas the world trade organization and all of this kind of do anything. well obviously both the u.s. and china back in april launched a cases that are riccio the u.s. because of alleged chinese i intellectual property violations and the chinese against the then proposed u.s. measures and the cases will take their course the fact that the u.s. is now acting unilaterally and the chinese are responding you know actually

undermines the dog b.t.o. and the global trading system i think the bigger picture obviously is that. donald trump for stress and to pull out of that obviously if the show were to rule against his moves he might move by carry out that threat and any case he's been trying to sabotage the dispute settle a mechanism by refusing to approve the. the influence of knowledge is a new appellate court judges to as old ones have left and that means that soon there might not be a quorum and soon therefore the system would break down yes gentlemen we don't have very long left in the show and i'd like to ask a last question to both of our other guests mr lucas and mr tang and mr lucas let me start with you do you think that these tariffs will go ahead and if so what impact are they going to have i think as your other guests have noted given the

other predictability of donald trump you can't take any prediction as being rock solid but given right now the ascendancy of his protections to advisors who have won the battle with the treasury secretary steve i'm a neutral for right now i think we do see at least a first round of sanctions in july but i think if the effects are felt fairly soon that the domestic backlash in the u.s. may make if not trump his advisors back away from this within months and mr tang in just in the last thirty seconds if they do go ahead will china when. well there's no winners in a trade war i mean the question is can china survive it better and i think the earlier comments about the fact that china has control of its economic operettas a lot better they're not subject to the same kind of electoral pressures that it is and they will be selling this to their their to their constituents and you'll see a sharp downturn in the most number of american goods being bought either way if

this thing goes forward so yes i don't think that the u.s. can win this one not against china and the rest of the world combined all right mr tang and thank you very much for that is on a tangan joining us from beijing and thank you to our other guests to fill up the grain and london and scott lucas and banning them and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website c.n.n. dot com and for further discussion to go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. and side story you can also join the conversation on twitter to handle this at a.j. inside story from elizabeth pran and the whole team here bye for now. the diagnosis he has been sick for around six months now the challenge ahead there one of these ninety six could be a new cure or the basis of

in a fire and shootout that shattered a truce in the qur'an q. welcome to the program we begin in the picturesque area of lake presta on the greek macedonian border where a twenty seven year old dispute is being settled at least the leaders hope so leaders of the two countries are signing a deal that will change macedonia is name to the republic of north mr india that will differentiate it from a greek province which also has the same name of macedonia now while the agreement has been held internationally there's fierce opposition within the two countries nationalists have been protesting in athens and in scorpio saying the compromise amounts to a humiliating defeat john psaropoulos our correspondent is standing by in the greek

capital athens where prime minister suppressed survived a no confidence motion over the deal will live to him after we speak to so you're going to go in late pressed for where the agreement is being signed of course it's taken many years to get to this point and it is only the first step again. that's absolutely right and it is interesting to note that it is being taken place in this rather secluded parts where there is enough security that section are for to to keep away any of the plans protests that are set to take place a there. has been a lot of opposition certainly to this movie in fact even now the churches around here are actually ringing out funeral knell just to voice their own opposition to this as well that's that's the amount of feeling that there is around here so that is still going ahead the the agreement the signing of the agreement is still going

ahead then after that both delegations will then cross back to the macedonian side of the border where they will have working lunch as it were to sort of talk more about i suppose how they will go forward in this historic event of course is agreement itself is the first step it still is being disputed on both sides by certain members of the public but needs a great deal of political coercion or both sides of the border in the coming moments because it needs ratification and agreement still in the days ahead. well exactly both countries will have to ratify this agreement in both their parliaments never speck to parliament but also what the macedonian side will actually have to do as well is to put it through to a referendum in september as well and there has been already opposition from the president of macedonia who's who's vehemently against it and said he would use his

veto to try and block this but with that taking place then if they go through and if they're both passed if the referendum goes in favor of it as well macedonia then has the rather a very difficult task of on rolling a whole lot of cultural what the greeks would say cultural appropriation of of their macedonian culture there was a lot of anger against what they saw as as the macedonians the northern neighbors appropriating. figures for example alexander the great macedonian greek figure here there has been a lot of bitterness towards that but with that if there if there is the success and they go forward this will actually take months and months and both leaders will have to continue facing off opposition fierce opposition on both sides of course we'll leave it there with you for the moment don't go away because obviously we are seeing pictures of the message only in prime minister also zoran as you have also

arriving via. a boat and he will of course meet his greek counterpart in a little while let's just cross over to the greek capital our correspondent john psaropoulos joins us now live from athens we're seeing pictures of the macedonian prime minister arriving by boat he hasn't quite touched down yet john but this moment might not have happened last night it was a very tight vote in the greek parliament and things are certainly not stable certainly in the discourse that we're hearing from athens. well it usually takes a lot of political capital to strike an international agreement it tends not to give government strength it takes to take strength away from them and this is certainly true so of the souza government here the opposition conservative party new democracy is satisfied that while the government survived the no confidence vote it has struck a mortal blow against it because by showing up the junior coalition partner

independent greeks as inconsistent and indeed by shearing away one of its m.p.'s who voted with the opposition in favor of a no confidence motion so that the government majority is now reduced it has exposed mr kamen as the defense minister and leader of the junior coalition as somebody who cannot be taken seriously in six months time if all goes well when this agreement comes back to this parliament for ratification they believe that they will have his head so to speak they'll be able to show the government is thoroughly inconsistent doesn't base itself on principle is opportunistic the independent greeks they will say voted for the government in the confidence motion but it will vote against the agreement when it comes down to that time as it has said from the beginning of the year that it will do because it doesn't believe that the name macedonia should be shared so there are difficulties lying ahead for the

greek of the deed of course we're seeing pictures now of the greek prime minister meeting his macedonian counterpart there hugging that talking we expect them to talk in a little while john but in the meantime obviously in athens as a great deal of discontent amongst the public there were riots on the streets last night near the parliament itself historically and outside the borders of greece we're looking at a change of a name but the name itself is so very important to the identity of greece. it is a. did and you said in your introduction that nationalists on both sides have been opposed to the deal but really my feeling here on the ground is that it's pretty much the greek population that's of most to it on a least a sentimental level but many people have raised the practical and legal and political objections they say is this really in forcible in the real world is it does it mean anything to have

a treaty in whose article seven in fine print it is stated that the northern macedonia nation has nothing to do with the ancient macedonian greeks ultimately is that transferable into the real world they feel it isn't they feel that greece by giving away the name macedonia only with its own signature is giving away something that is substantial and transferable and usable in the real world but everything that greece gets in return in that agreement is not transferrable and real and usable in the real world that is a very widespread sentiment here indeed attention of course will be coming back to you once the agreement is signed as you watching i'll just there are these are live pictures from lake press for macedonian and greek prime ministers meet to sign the beginning of a road to changing the name of a northern province the northern part of macedonia itself the former yugoslav republic of macedonia will change its name it's all now been agreed in the greek

parliament the process begins and we'll be dipping back in when the prime minister speak later in the morning. hundreds of refugees and migrants have started arriving in spain a week after italy and malta turned them away the first of three boats docked in the spanish port city of bell and see the other two including the aquarius which rescued them off the coast of libya is due to arrive later carl panel joins me now from valencia of course the first ship has docked we wondering what sort of state those on board would be in but most probably karl they're just glad to be on land. only after being more than a we can see they are very glad to be arriving here on land the as to be said however that the process of disembarking of getting onto shore is going a lot slower than was originally planned two hundred seventy four people arriving

on this first italian coast guard cutter and only about half of the come off so far there are delays there this is going to be a long process but i'm here with the day in a pub she's of the charity s.o.s. military and me and that of course is the charity that has been running the aquarius rescue boat so they know wherever you stand on the migration issue on the politics of it it is just not acceptable to leave human beings floating around at sea not knowing where they are going that's true and it's true that it's not acceptable that our team and the migrants to be rescued the people who are fleeing the libyan hell have to travel one week one thousand four hundred kilometers to reach port of safety our team is extremely exhausted the migrants are extremely exhausted and tired and it's a big relief to or a few in spain hopefully in a few minutes or hours now of course is great that the port of villains here in the spanish government is receiving the migrants here is this the solution moving

forward though i don't think it's a solution but it's a big symbol that it's possible that the civil society people are moving and they are showing that this is not acceptable that humanitarian organization in the back row years has to spend days and hours at sea and until we reach support of safety and i think what's happening here is that something in you is not working very well and it's good that the european union and the people have a look what's happening in the mediterranean sea now the people the position of the italian government has almost been that n.g.o.s like turney are offering a ferry service for migrants if they maintain that position if you have to come to ports that are much further away can you maintain can you and other n.g.o.s maintain the rescue operations longer term. what is a fact is that people are still fleeing libya and the thing is that we have to travel here means that we also can't be in the rescue zone and as we know people

are still fleeing i think there have been evidences since the last days that they have been rubber boats which have not been rescued and we have to be here and actually we should be in the rescue zone and of course we need a framework which we can operate and we are an emergency vessel we are rescue people but we don't want to be there and the european union has to find a solution for them thank you much for very much for me now that was then a part of the charity s.o.s. . and of course the ship operated by a source meter i know the aquarius well that is due to dock here perhaps within an hour perhaps within a couple of hours really depending a little bit on the speed of progress getting the migrants off this ship processing them registering them and then moving them off to their first reception center. for the moment thanks very much welcome back to later in the day. to think straight back to look prosperous were both the.
