7:02 pm
they've got a list of parents apparently they've got a list of children they've got to be reconciled we need to know where every parent is that matches up with every child and they've got to tell us that in a publicly accountable manner and i don't think they're going to feel compelled to do that unless there's public pressure even though the trumpet ministration vocal to public pressure and stop the forced separation of children from parents at the us mexico border it's now going to detain entire families perhaps indefinitely perhaps and military reservations across the us that has rarely go as here in washington fed up and that's the sentiment being repeated at rallies across the united states the signs in the messages were the same across the country obey international asylum law protect children stop the government's racist policies honestly the only reason our president is doing this is because of his ego he has no excuse these people are bad people they are running away from their homes and take a lot in must be big to make them do that will be accomplished some sort of change
7:03 pm
in the policy that we have. really for legislators to actually get something accomplished the challenge is taking the white hot anger on a hot summer's day and turning it into political action there's no guarantee people will do more than this even though they say they will rosalynn jordan al-jazeera washington well have also been protests on the mexican side of the border thousands gathered to accuse us of a telling asylum seekers into criminals and they condemned present policy of separating migrant children from their parents. as election day in mexico and leftist lopez obrador is the front runner he's gained popularity because of promises to deal with violence and corruption many of the city's poorest so they get little to no help from authorities when a family member is murdered or last in america you see a name and explains the issues from mexico city.

7:05 pm
there's no peace for the families of the more than thirty thousand mexicans who were murdered last year and the equal number who are still missing records that are expected to be surpassed this year. but there is another type of crime that is also destroying mexico this is what's left of a school that collapsed during last september's earthquake here in mexico city and these little angels represent the nineteen children who were crushed to death when a structure that was built illegally by the school's owner fell on top of them she had apparently paid off local officials to turn a blind eye to the building code the victim's parents say that they died not because of the earthquake but because of corruption a phenomenon that is spreading like a disease throughout mexico in every aspect of life. which is why confronting crime violence and the widespread corruption that makes those things possible are the main issues for tens of millions of mexicans as they choose
7:06 pm
a new president. one has to pay the criminal so they'd let you work in peace sometimes it's the police that bribes corruption is everywhere. against corruption and impunity says the corruption costs the poorest thirty five percent. into their income putting poverty and violence in a vicious circle and when you start. kaname with those levels of violence and those levels of corruption of course nobody's going to want to invest and that's where. you have more inequality more poverty and of course more crime at that i mean that there is neither a silver bullet nor a presidential candidate with serious proposals to turn the tide and yet like millions of mexicans might be sela hasn't given up the already tech area. now there will be a new government which has the power to do more we hope this time things will
7:07 pm

7:08 pm
india japan australia and southeast asian nations now the big question as well the host nation japan can achieve progress in the talks at the top of ministration imposes trade tariffs on allies and rivals alike a move he says will protect american industry one of trump's targets is china which has slashed tariffs on imports from many asian countries in a move that could strengthen its defenses in any trade war with the u.s. more on that in a moment with a reporter private first let's hear from daniel lack in canada where retiree treat tariffs against the u.s. and now taking effect among the millions of products canada gets from the u.s. most of its recreational boats but summer fun afloat will be more costly now as the tariff on imported yachts takes effect a response to the trumpet ministrations actions and rhetoric on steel and aluminum we're hoping one client who has a boat right now in miami who is already purchased the boat it's paid for he needs
7:09 pm
to bring about the canada and he's looking at you know ten percent on top of hundreds of thousands of dollars. more than steel aluminum and sailboats canada's also putting tariffs on the clock tick range of u.s. goods. at a politically sensitive part of the country chocolate for example from the swing state of pennsylvania u.s. states are the key to auto was trade war strategy canada is the leading destination for exports from thirty six of them many are being targeted for counter tariffs that's adding to the concerns of companies with cross border business as talks between the u.s. canada and mexico to renew nafta the north american free trade agreement stagnate some firms like this toronto pipe maker are expanding u.s. operations in fear that the border may soon be a barrier my concern is the uncertainty about investing in canada. and what this
7:10 pm
will do even if it goes away to morrow. and united states. working with companies as potentially risky. trade props up canada's prosperity particularly with its largest trading partner the us more than a billion dollars in business flows between them every day now as canada's government sees it a protectionist administration in washington is sweeping away decades of consensus on trade that the u.s. itself helped establish after the second world war beneath all the bombast there's a logic to it that instead of having him a rules based system same rules apply to everybody the global trading system we've had. it's bilateralism awkward but a one off deals. where the big guys are going to have one off the government in ottawa is hoping that targeted counter terror will add to pressure on the u.s. administration to settle this dispute and lead to
7:11 pm
a new nafta deal but much is at stake and the costs of failure are immeasurably high especially in a country so dependent on trade with its giant neighbor. then you're like al jazeera toronto. tariffs are being cut on nearly fifteen hundred products ranging from cosmetics to home appliances clothes and pharmaceuticals it's seen as a boost for global brands wanting greater access to china's booming consumer market and a boost for china's consumers who were promised by president xi jinping last october's party congress should be given greater spending power oh absolutely this is consistent away the national strategy that improving the quality of a life now is a priority i had. had of the trade war but with the threat of a trade war with the united states china has just released a white paper claiming its fulfilling its commitments as
7:12 pm
a member of the world trade organization or w t o which regulates international trade. that china will continue to seek to improve multilateral trade reduce keep pace with the times the reforms the multilateral trading system with other members of the w t o u. taken together with the tariff cuts it seems to be sending a message that despite u.s. claims of unfair trade practices china is playing by the rules the tariff cuts also serve a wide distributed you could object of putting pressure on local producers of low tech goods such as clothing and cosmetics to become a part of china's broad around vision to be a global leader in high tech manufacturing that bold strategy made in china twenty twenty five is seen as a major challenge to the technological dominance of the united states and design a goodly one of the reasons behind the u.s. threat of
7:13 pm
a trade war to thwart china's ambitions bright al-jazeera paging. awfully big brains of political economist and former advisor to the director general of the world trade organization who joins us now live from london so what this meeting in tokyo looking at a new trade pact can asia offset the effects of u.s. protectionism here. i think that's a very important question what you're seeing is that donald trump thinks that he couldn't believe the rest of the world to give him what he wants on trade but as your package showed the rest of the world is starting out to him and increasingly working around him and what's happening in asia is very significant the transpacific partnership is going ahead without the united states and the chinese lead he has new momentum and it's very very striking that japan which is traditionally feels threatened by china is now championing r.c.b.
7:14 pm
and indeed that broader asian integration as an alternative to trade with the u.s. so increasingly what we're seeing is globalization going on around without the united states ok so then trump starts of this protectionism is increasing isolationist stance is that actually going to help u.s. industry then in the long run. i don't think so i mean it's not clear what donald trump's a directive sometimes he says we're just threatening tariffs in order to leave or open foreign markets or times it seems that he wants managed trade simply you know the chinese and others to agree to buy more american produce. at the times it's about you know protectionism and bringing back supply chains and the bigger picture is that sometimes it seems actually that he wants to break apart the links that
7:15 pm
exist notably between the u.s. and china and to create rival blocks and he's got so many confused ambitions and they they work against each other for example if you want to create a rival american block to a chinese blog you wouldn't be antagonizing your allies enough to canada and mexico and that's precisely what he's doing so even starting this is a global trade war setting america against everybody else what does that do to the global economy as a whole. well i think for the moment the global economy is strong and therefore the impact of the trade war is limited. with donald trump is kind of see you and raise you strategy where he keeps on threatening ever larger. you know hundreds of billions potentially of chinese exports hundreds of billions of european exports in a generalized trade war cause and car parts it could start to have
7:16 pm
a very significant impact and much bigger than the direct impact is the impact that was mentioned in your report about the uncertainty of business is now have to wonder about whether they should go ahead with investment plans given what the consequences of the trade war could be. very. times joins us from london. to talk about the weather and just a moment and then still ahead corruption in kenya how mays is at the center of a multi-million dollar scam. and france can't speed limits to reduce very deaths but not everyone wants to slow down. and wimbledon is just a day away and we'll hear from the world number one rafa nadal ahead of his bid for an eighteenth grand slam title.
