12:05 pm
repeatable ones like the world food program and unicef are saying they cannot do that because they don't want their way bills to end up in the hundreds of smugglers something that could spoil the image so there is a lot of food coming in there quickly about an alter of storage and they say something has to give way the coalition has to allow them to dock ships into the port again the world's worst humanitarian crisis at the moment thank you mohammed. house and you are as a professor of international relations and security forces university he joins us now from leone and france on skype we appreciate your time very much so what do you know about the condition of the airport even aside from the fighting just how functional is this airport. probably. not gone beyond. heavy bombardment by
12:06 pm
a good quality and forces but also. say that you are not functional for the stupid reason that. city and they. are not forgotten though they are. an important air force so consequently devalue all the airports more symbolic just try to. find so you got a sense that if thought ok for going to the goss forces for that would be fine it could be. trying to say he says. consequently some kind of a security meant because he's so how much of a turning point is this potential loss of this airport and what does that mean what comes next. for this forty six year be important psychologically. if you guys are really important so.

12:08 pm
the resources of the coalition. they are all about the are talking about equality and all the numb got all arab countries. who thought all. dream big was from down. on the other. day and said. it really meant the very end trace of their unity ministry kept from the farm it. consequently the day best are the one on the face of a deity to match the power of all or did. it all. if this situation continues. those more very very they might be forced to become a fine force. fit to conduct a different type called war it would be time to call it so we did it also
12:09 pm
when you say a different type of warfare so yes say that say that the spillover from the airport that type of warfare looks like for the rest of the city. or you could be. a. big fires defy the law you ought to consequently you'd be more someone to do cause for the coalition forces the groups there to control or supporting and i think being involved in the shooting of the airport they are. what it would it professor haasan thank you so much for your insight we appreciate it. very very large. more than fifteen hundred migrants have tried to cross from africa to spain over the weekend it is the largest single influx of migrants to the area and for years it comes as more than six hundred migrants arrived in the

12:13 pm
have been forced from their homes. day as the high commissioner for refugees at the united nations there is this sense of urgency but the response is continue to be too fragmented then to isolate this is a global phenomenon that requires international so be very thin cooperation on a global scale and this is what these raise the rising figures and the world's response to these political positions are not right. refugees are fleeing violence war persecution we have an obligation to help them and they're not even effective you can see easy you just reported on a few close avenues on the one side and on another we need to look at the root causes we need to address the reasons why these people leave violence were born we need to help the countries where they are in majority let's not forget that the
12:14 pm
sixty eight million refugees and displaced eighty five percent are not the rich countries that are in poor middle income developing countries and then we need to maintain asylum systems that are effective that receive those in need of protection of refuge and give other options other solutions for those that move for different reasons. the secretary general antonio the terrace is warning that gaza is on the brink of war has support has been sent to the security council ahead of a meeting on tuesday on the israeli palestinian peace process a diplomatic editor james faces more. this is a report that israel in the trumpet ministration won't want to read it's from the u.n. secretary general antonio good terrorist to the security council most of the points he makes in here have been made by the un before but the fact that they're all here in the same place at this time is significant he is critical on garza of the

12:20 pm
the first really drastic market reaction to this. yeah it's almost as if sort of tariff for tea had been setting in until now but we are starting to see aren't we the markets don't like what is coming out of washington and beijing the index here in shanghai dropping almost four percent at the close on choose day the falls in the rest of asia weren't quite as sharp but i think there's a a growing realisation michel that washington and beijing are trapped in a downward tit for tat spiral and you know there seems to be no way out at the moment both washington and beijing have backed themselves into corners and in a sense washington is asking beijing to in a sense. change the whole way it does business with the united states and that includes in many ways getting president xi jinping to roll back on one of his key policies this is known as made in china twenty twenty five this is his way of
12:21 pm
trying to push china up the value chain by focusing on the high tech industry that the but the united states says that china is doing that by heavily subsidizing it by pouring billions and billions of dollars of government money into the high tech sector and that's creating according to washington an unfair playing field and also there is of course you know that the trade deficit this simmering issue between washington and beijing at the moment china exports you know far more to the united states than the other way around last year the united states took some five hundred billion dollars worth of chinese imports china took about one hundred thirty billion of u.s. imports that means that at the moment this could potentially be quite serious for china because the united states has more potential targets for terrorists than china does but china could all start could also penalize and punish washington in
12:22 pm
other ways because there are so many big chinese companies here some of the big u.s. companies here in china and they are feeling very nervous right now and this is something that is not even in washington in general they're trying to ministrations specifically triggered this really without a lot of support from his own party there are many people in his own party that do not think that a trade war is wisely to contain and continues to spiral in spiral is there any type of compromise president trump seems to have his own way of negotiating for lack of a better term is there a way out of all of this. well you know take top goes the clock i mean the first of these tariffs is a jew to kick in on july the six that doesn't give a very much time that's what sixteen seventeen more days and at the moment there are no talks taking place between washington and beijing that we know of the
12:23 pm
negotiating process has stalled remember just a month ago the u.s. trade delegation that came here said that the the trade war was on hold you know a compromise had been reached will clearly that hasn't been china now says that the concessions that it offered the united states saying that would actually buy a lot more from washington in the future that is all finished it says that that that that that whole notion has been has been jettisoned so we're at a very very difficult stage and i think you know realize ation actually if you speak to economists and analysts here in china that actually we are now on the brink of a trade war this is not notional this is real and of course you know this is going to impact not just the economies of the united states and china but also those of of south korea japan and hong kong all those countries who are sort of part of the the global supply chain all right major and brown live for us in beijing adrian thank you and it isn't rescue workers happen battling heavy rains and high waves in
