as at the end of next week with a full twenty eight member states will be in attendance and that seemed to point the way towards what a solution might be a european level with centers being set up in north africa by under you all spaces to filter through the people who were presenting themselves whether they were economic migrants or they were people who were seeking refuge fleeing war zones and there was also reference to what might happen to the secondary migration as it's called inside you know the words people who've claimed refugee status in one country going on to another e.u. country and claiming that she had to basically rebut that yesterday when the italian prime minister said not happy about that being published as a draft conclusion we haven't had the conversation yet and now her office is saying well this mini summit on sunday it's a working group we can't expect to see any conclusions emerge from it it just shows you that she's having to row back further and further from the suggestion that there was going to be some as it were panacea some possible solution that would
10:01 pm
please everybody certainly it's weakened her i would say ok then how do you double tasks meetings with two central european leaders today play into this whole rao about migration. well if they were in a moment able to speak their minds one might imagine that angle americal and donald tusk and perhaps emanuel merkel would say that the group that you referred to there plus the austrian chancellor and perhaps now the italian prime minister and the e.u.'s awkward squad as it were regarding migration immigration and what should be done what sort of solutions there are that are possible because let's be clear about this victor autobahn is speaking in very strong terms about what he considers to be the effect of immigration on his country getting his party using its super majority in parliament to change the constitution to make helping illegal immigrants a criminal offense punishable with a jail term referring to people coming to his country as an alien population and
10:02 pm
then also if you look in austria with the government of mr courts and his allies from the far right party the f.b.i. or who have been calling for migration into it for it to bring it a tight rein on migration and referring to parallel societies in their countries you can see why with with comments such as those there are those on the other side of the coin perhaps mr mccance side on mr merkel side who might perceive that to be awkward and it also raises the question of how realistic it is to expect some sort of solution across the e.u. to this problem and one final thing remember that the price of the coalition not being told this week was the suggestion that i'm going to merkel would find an e.u. solution so she's really as it were having health feet held to the fire about what really she can deliver ok the mic came to get the latest lines that from berlin thanks very much tony. now of plenty more still ahead here on the news hour
10:03 pm
including and indonesian cleric with ties to myself sent to death police say the teachings inspired recent attacks. and we'll have reaction from one of the areas up to argentina fans watch their team go down to cry. away shall the world cup. peace talks between south sudan's government and the group it's been fighting for five years have broken down following two days of closed door meetings in ethiopia new dates have been set for talks but the differences between the warring sides suggest a deal will be difficult to achieve hiper morgan reports it was their first meeting in nearly two years when president salva kiir and opposition leader rick machar last met in south sudan's capital juba the talks ended in failure and renewed fighting between the sides this meeting a neutral ground offered hope of
10:04 pm
a breakthrough in the conflict but in prokop without any agreement after two days there is no. yes or how this tragic humanitarian crisis up there or how many arguments. before. the showing that we have is delivering on the commitment this under. in those of humans. having is one of leadership and. the civil war in faster than began in twenty thirteen when president kiir accused his then deputy my char of attempting a coup tens of thousands of people have been killed and a third of the country's twelve million population has been displaced a peace deal in ten to fifteen so much i'll return to his position but that lasted for barely three months before fighting resumed now machar as opposition leader is demanding a return to his post and with his own army south sudan's government says working
10:05 pm
with him is not an option president it is not it is not ready in any way to work again with. in the next tranche and this is simply because we have. presence of saying yes yes for peace but not not to work. because we don't want to have another one we don't want to have another five seven million people in south sudan are facing starvation after five years of conflict they are desperate for peace but each new round of talks doesn't appear to be bringing about any closer. extensively from that region she joins us here now in doha have a good to see so we got another round of talks failing but they aren't due to meet again next week in sudan but as if i hope they're running out of time they're running out of time and the gap between the president and. quite wide at the moment
10:06 pm
. are basically once the twenty fifteen peace deal which collapsed into sixteen to be reinstated again he wants to be vice president once again he wants to have his own army but he does not mention integration of the army with the national army so the president says that he does that's not something he wants but they are running out of time on june fifteenth when they meet in khartoum to have exactly five days to try to settle for an agreement because this is the second. the general of the u.n. has to report to the security council if a peace deal has been signed or not because there's an arms embargo risk there are sanctions of officials and government and opposition figures as well and there's the i guess the regional bloc they have forced all sides to try to reach an agreement before the first of july where they was going to have a summit in the more capital no longer short and they made it very clear that we are also going to try to impose sanctions on people who are enduring peace in south sudan now previously it was i guess that blocked every single attempt of sanctions on sudan but this time they appear to be taking
10:07 pm
a tougher stance to try to impose sanctions so that this conflicts and because the longer it goes on of course the more people suffering and the country on the brink of famine in some places you've got mass displacement and we're getting reports of this terrifying violence was inflicted on civilians becoming normal years that there's been a huge concern for a lot of the rights organizations working in south sudan the level of violence and sexual atrocities that have been committed the number of people who have been displaced and then the horrible stories of rape and torture and killing that they report once they reach safety in neighboring countries so this conflict has been having a very bad impact on more than half of the conference population with seven million in desperate need of aid but more than that the number of people who are displaced and find it very hard to go back home remember sausan has been in conflict for five years which is longer than the the period that they have been a peace in the country only seven years old but a lot of these people have been displaced over and over again once also i was
10:08 pm
having its first of all where were the north and then the second civil war and this is like their third time now so for them to deploy displacement is all that they have known and they're concerned that the coming generation will know nothing else would spaceman's as well because of the length of time as well the. five to be splitting into different factions you've got all sorts any number of different groups now in this conflict and only two of them are at the table yes there are more than a dozen armed groups fighting in south sudan is called. some of them have come together under an alliance called the salsa dance opposition alliance but they also have completely different list of demands from what a request our wants and from what the government wants now to try to bring to bridge the gap between south sudan's president and rick much are as hard as it is it's even harder to try to bridge the gap between the three sides and we have a triangle involved to try to make them all see eye to eye and resolve and saucepans conflict in less than five days or in less than ten days it's quite hard but they really have to because civilians are suffering absolutely. many
10:09 pm
thanks for coming in to talk to us about it. syrian activists are reporting several civilians have been injured after government helicopters dropped barrel bombs and province in a separate location activists say six people have been killed in shelling by government forces local officials told outages are that more than twenty three thousand civilians have been displaced in the east and countryside in the past three days. the world's largest oil producing countries have agreed to increase output by one million barrels a day and it is aimed at pushing down prices saudi arabia and russia have been calling for restrictions to be relaxed limits on production have nearly tripled the price of oil since two thousand and sixteen. her opinion tariffs on us and what's worth more than two point six billion dollars came into effect on friday president donald trump and get allies by imposing tariffs on steel an element in imports into the united states in response the e.u. is imposing its own levies on products that include harley davidson motorcycle
10:10 pm
whiskey and orange cheese has more from london. to you has described the decision to slap tariffs on almost three billion dollars worth of u.s. imports as a rebalancing measure falling short of it anyway referring to this as a trade war however this is all about making as much noise as possible all about sending a symbolic message to the white house in response to donald trump's decision last month to slap tariffs on imports of alum in europe and steel here into the european union but probably explains some of the brands that have been chosen to have these tariffs like to pull them including the american jeans firm levis to spare flagship store regent street in central london also harley davidson motorcycles florida orange juice crown breweries a bourbon from kentucky and some u.s. metal imports as well total shrub has already suggested that european car
10:11 pm
manufacturers could be targeted with more terrorists in the e.u. has also suggested that it may have some ideas in reserve suggesting that it's earmarked around three point six billion dollars worth of. u.s. products to slap tariffs on in the near future that's if the world trade organization trade court rules in favor of the european union's latest complaint against. the united states the e.u. all in all though has made it very clear that it's going to do what is necessary to protect its consumers and its produces but before it gets any more complicated before things develop further potentially into dangerous territory what the e.u. really wants is to bring the united states possibly in the company of china to the negotiating table right now though nobody seems to be talking. from near as i have a grade on a deal aimed at releasing greece from its eight bailout program in august payments
10:12 pm
due on billions of dollars of loans will not be delayed by ten years and greece will be given another seventeen billion dollars to help pay its debts government avoided bankruptcy in two thousand and ten but it led to many public sector cuts and tax increases and as john psaropoulos reports many greeks the territory measures have done more harm than good. during the economic depression in greece pennie called business has fallen by two thirds many of her clients are bankrupt and jobless even homeless so she often cuts they have on credit so they can go to a job interview has moved premises twice looking for a more affluent key in tow and she's cut her prices by half but rising taxes have convinced her that the government doesn't want her business to survive. we're not being heard at all now al voice doesn't count we're definitely closing down slowly slowly if we're not careful we're going to close down the way the government's going that's what their plan is this is what they're showing us what the hey guys
10:13 pm
you'll be working for us until you can handle it until you get into debt and we just want you to close down we want whatever property you have whatever is yours we want it all started policies were originally meant to turn the greek economy around in two years so far they've lasted eight and as a result of them seven hundred thousand people are no longer considered middle class there are achievements the budget is balanced the government spends mobile than it raises in taxes so it's not getting deeper into debt greek labor is more competitive because salaries fell so exports are up the number of tourists has doubled in three years greek agricultural products now bring a quarter of the money that enters the country and shipping remains a traditional strength but business is dependent on domestic consumption suffering a million people remain jobless most of the rest saving up to pay taxes economists say in the hands of politicians the medicine of austerity did as much harm as good
10:14 pm
if i can make a comparison i would consider it someone who has was suffering from cancer and came with eric it became a therapy has been given to him which means that although the goods they bad cells have been dead now but good cells have also died a lot of them at least and which makes the the country as a whole of the organism losing its muscle losing its strength the end of the adjustment program was meant to be a turning point when greece's sacrifices began to pay off but it is difficult to find anyone who now believes the country is on the right path taxes remain high the political climate is polarized and people are traumatized it is as though a war has just ended but there is no sense that greece is. returning to normality and that is a deterrent to investors so is the way in which the refugee crisis has destabilized european politics and undermined solidarity a looming transatlantic trade war and rising global interest rates could see greece

10:20 pm
with us thank you so what's all this trip about is about raising money to give to the palestinians but it's going to get it well i think is going to get some money but it's not the money is not the only think about his visit i think is coming for two men things one is fundraising for his peace plan and the other one is for some political concessions from them because before coming to. question i was actually in another month in jordan and with that actually. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was there as well so which kills me that there are still some serious concerns on the political level. that this peace deal is not working the way that they wanted to be especially because of two major oppositions to one major rejections of this peace plan one is from the palestinians that the policy is that they fire the american with the third so they're not accepting the united states as
10:21 pm
a mideast that anymore after all the can. consider as they make it as well and the one thing which is a key factor in any any plans for this to succeed which is the jordanian position. was very fair and his rejection of the ultimate deal of the concessions of jerusalem and for that reason i think the political pressure is being put on king abdullah to accept and that's why we saw. both of the same time in a man trying to push of the king probably there trying to take advantage of the economic crisis. experienced in the past few weeks i was going to ask what would it take to get jordan on board what i think they're going to do things that they're going to focus on one talking to jordan one is that to give jordan assurances that they will rule over holy sites and jews and will not. be affected and they will be maintained and i think it was going to deliver this is netanyahu because there were
10:22 pm
talks in the past the saudis might get this. is over the holy sites and tourism so they want to show that this is not going to be affected and the other thing they're going to give to jordan is that. you know jordan is always a proposed by some israeli lightwing part is that as the alternative place for the palestinians so i think they're going to assure the king of jordan this will not the national interest will be if it would not be affected by this peace plan and for that in order to get his some. political so-called forward for the. i think of this is still very difficult i don't see. is compromising in journalism he made it very clear that he has the people the jordanian people that strong glittered but actually for this visit fund raising on the other hand with the gulf states might achieve some success this fundraising i mean it's essentially
10:23 pm
a bribe this is going to give the palestinians money simply going to the table exactly that's the whole idea behind the fundraising is that gaza is living probably one of the most difficult times in the past probably half century. over ten years of very strict book. i think they're going to present the cabinet this is you know for the policy not to accept. we're talking about probably some sort of like a pot of planting. report poor maybe some of these easing the mobility and the travelling conditions in order to create it because according to the whole plan in order to get some sort of a political entity and not just the it in gaza but kind of an autonomy. in order to so often in this. record for the polls historic. this leaves of course the west bank jerusalem settlements and vital repair for the for three is not this is the me
10:24 pm
job of the three major principles that the palestinians will never compromise on which is again jerusalem settlements on the right of return of trees everywhere had a very interesting speech to thanks for taking time to comment. the man who claims to be the leader of i saw in indonesia has been sentenced to death for his involvement in a series of deadly bombings judges say ahmed abdul rahman has been imprisoned says two thousand and ten masterminded the attacks from his cell service and reports from jakarta. security was tied to the verdict at the court in south africa after hundreds of police and soldiers were on guard among a black man was convicted of planning a gun and bomb attack on a starbucks coffee shop in two thousand and sixteen. in which four civilians were killed and four other attacks he was in a maximum security prison at the time but use mobile phones and the internet to
