1:00 pm
this is al jazeera. hello i'm sam he's a dan this is the news hour live from doha coming up the next sixty minutes get ready for the ripples donald trump imposes huge tariffs on goods from china beijing strikes back within hours or do it all mean for the rest of the world. time to thrash it out the u.k. is divided government gathers to discuss its differences over bragg's. fight over fertile land has killed hundreds of people we take you to central nigeria. and a tragic turn in the tide cave rescue operation with the death of a former navy diver and in sport we're down to the quarter finals of the world cup
1:01 pm
in russia as france's young star. players take center stage in their match against uruguay. global leaders have warned about big companies have worried about tonight fish really begun the world's two largest economies china and the u.s. now embroiled in an unparalleled trade war imposing large tariffs on each other's major industries chinese tariffs on thirty four billion dollars worth of u.s. goods went to facts about three hours ago targeting imports like cars and agricultural imports well that's a retaliation after donald trump followed through with his threats to impose the same amount of levies on chinese products and as the crisis escalates so too does the rhetoric beijing accusing president trump of starting what it calls the largest
1:02 pm
trade war in economic history while trump is threatening to go further and increase the tariffs on china to half a trillion dollars. well mcbride has been following the developments in beijing over the past few hours joins us now live from there so rob how worried are chinese companies i mean some of them rely on components and goods from the u.s. right. that's right it certainly has a shaken i think businesses here in china and also more widely throughout asia given the into connectivity of the different economies here how they rely upon each other i think amongst chinese businesses especially there is a suspicion that this goes a far more than just being about trade there is a suspicion that this is an attempt by the united states to try to hold back the developing economy fast developing economy of the whole of china when you actually
1:03 pm
look at the numbers sami thirty four billion dollars worth of goods on each side is actually pretty small stuff compared with the sizes of the world's two biggest economies but it is the concern that the united states seems to be bent upon following this path of trade confrontation and china for its part is not going to blink it seems and that's what does concern people here it's what's been driving down the sentiment in actual fact the shanghai stock market actually ended up slightly on its day's trading but this is a market that has been seeing gradual downward direction for the past few weeks as the business community here i think has realised that we're getting from a war of words into an actual a trade war and there is i think real concern about what happens next i think it will set the business nerves jangling aplenty and also seeing markets take
1:04 pm
a real tumble if what we're seeing now is to be followed by a much bigger second wave of tariffs. china has always promised it will match exactly u.s. tariffs with its own list thirty four billion dollars worth of goods will be affected from farm products to automobiles chemicals and medical equipment as those u.s. products become more expensive china has been looking for other countries to supply them china has been trying their hardest to diversify suppliers of energy of agricultural products especially when all the heat focused on saudi being on china has been boosted its investment in a lot of other unconventional countries for soybean exports such as russia in so doing say critics of the u.s. policy beijing has been forging deeper trade links with the u.s. competitors there will be no winners the question is will there be something lose more than anybody else right now though it looks like the united states is doing
1:05 pm
the opposite of what it intended it is in essence rallied the entire world against it and u.s. tariffs could ultimately hurt u.s. firms as well as chinese that's because far from being a straight forward take for tatts an easily winnable trade war it's complicated for example some of the chinese semiconductors the u.s. is putting terrorists on use microchips that are designed and made in the u.s. so those companies will also be hits what's more some of the chinese firms targeted are actually foreign owned including by some u.s. companies who bore me the u.s. measures are attacking global supply in the value chains to put it simply not us he's opening fire on the entire world including itself. china suspects this is about far more than trade and that the u.s. is trying to thwart its ambitions of becoming
1:06 pm
a high tech manufacturer to challenge one day the dominance of the united states this is not just about china is it how much concern is there all throughout asia about a knock on effect through the region and beyond. that's right you are saying possibly as a result of this the real long term impact even if they do kiss and make up they get over their differences there is a real concern that you are seeing changes in the relationship between different trading partners for example lot of people here have been talking about the soybean example that is something that is hurting and will hurt the farmers of the united states if soybeans that now cost twenty five percent more china then looks for cheaper soybeans in the rest of asia or it looks for them in russia and once this trade war is over there's very little to say that china will go back to those original soybean farmers in the united states just finally the another thing to
1:07 pm
bear in mind here sammy is what seems to be driving all of this from the united states' point of view is a real desire to punish china for alleged unfair trade practices stealing of intellectual property and all that interesting lee we're now seeing liko chang the premier of china weighing in he has been attending an event in bowl garia and he's been quoted as saying that china respects the rights of foreign companies respects their intellectual property here in china and treats them just like they would treat any chinese company sammy rob mcbride there thanks for the. have u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o has arrived in north korea to discuss the country's plans to dismantle its nuclear program it's his first visit to pyongyang since the historic summit last month between president donald trump north korean leader kim jong il and pompei or will also discuss the remains of u.s.
1:08 pm
troops missing from the korean war on his two day visit the future of the two thousand and fifteen iran nuclear deal is being discussed as a meeting of five world powers in vienna foreign ministers from britain france germany and china as well as russia joined by divides of leave of iran it's the first time they've come together since the u.s. controversially pulled out of the agreement earlier this year european leaders are hoping an economic package will persuade iran to stick to the terms of the deal despite u.s. sanctions. journal joins us now from vienna i think the talks may have just about begun what are the world powers in iran hoping to achieve them. sami in an ideal world the remaining six of the seven signatories to the iran nuclear deal including iran of course meeting behind me here would come up with
1:09 pm
a firm concrete set of means and methodology to keep this deal alive after the u.s. pulled out in may donald trump saying that sanctions would be reimposed on iran from august and that secondary sanctions would be imposed on anyone continuing to do business with iran from that time onward swirl the five world powers still party to the deal as you said have said they will continue to abide by it if iran continues to honor it iran has said it will do so if they can protect and guarantee its interests principally of course its financial and economic interests easier said than done that the u.s. says the purchases of the rain enormous ceased from the fourth of november companies invested now in iran reinvested in iran particularly the oil sector are extremely nervous about the potential effect of those u.s. sanctions what the iranians want to see here or out of these meetings generally is
1:10 pm
a firm as i said specific set of proposals a way in which to circumvent those u.s. sanctions and the timeline within which that can be done. the iranian president who happens to be here in vienna as well though he's not party to these talks has said that what he's seen so far in terms of the proposal that we believe is on the table here is disappointing merely he says a set of general commitments. journo do the europeans have the muscle to shield iran from the impact of u.s. sanctions and things like it's all well and banking sectors. the europeans alone sami undoubtedly not not on a holistic basis anyway i mean the sheer size and weight of the u.s. in the global economy the global financial system makes it extremely difficult to entirely circumvent the power of the sanctions as russia and china to think about as well of course here some of the proposals we've heard about being discussed put
1:11 pm
forward largely by the e.u. involve lending to companies via the european investment bank to shield them from u.s. sanctions perhaps governments putting money directly into the iranian central bank again to avoid the commercial banking sector but one diplomat quoted ahead of this meeting saying look we've made some progress we've managed to safeguard some crude oil sales but it's unlikely to meet iranian expectations they are waiting he says to hear what the russians and the chinese have to say the german foreign minister how come i asked going in a short while ago said look this is an opportunity for us all to express our interest in keeping this deal together but this is not the last meeting of its kind on the matter. jonah thanks so much. members of the cabinet in the united kingdom are meeting for being seen as a make or break talks on briggs it is a maze government is divided on how to leave the european union with the march two thousand and nineteen deadline for doing so fast approaching it's understood what
1:12 pm
she wants her team to agree on is a plan to keep the u.k. aligned with the e.u. on trade rules for goods but not services several cabinet members have argued for u.k. trade policies and standards to be completely changed after it leaves the e.u. a so-called heartbreaks it. baka has been covering the story for us and joins us now live from the british capital does it look like she's going to get enough cabinet support their needs. was a big question it is really crunch time for to reason may hurt she and her ministers have gathered at checkers the prime minister's official residence outside london they can be locked in talks for at least twelve hours we believe ministers have had to relinquish their mobile phone so no leaks or tweets over the course of the day to give us a sense of how talks and negotiations are going forward but what she's hoping for is that her cabinet throw their support behind a common negotiating position when it comes to trade and theresa may has come up
1:13 pm
with what she's described as a third way that satisfy both sides of the brics a debate those breaks a tears as they're called he wants a clean break from the european union and remain as the want to see some regulation mirroring the e.u. some continuation as it were in partnership with the e.u. going forward well it's called the regulated customs arrangement that's its official title it's highly technical but if we pick out some the key details it would allow the u.k. to impose its own tariffs on international trade coming into the country going forward that's been one of the breaks a t is key demands also any goods going on to europe would be subject still to you edu customs duties but that the u.k. government would essentially collect those cuties on behalf of brussels and then hand them over it would also to satisfy the remain a camp allow the u.k. to hold on to some regulation when it comes to health and safety those kind of
1:14 pm
issues with the e.u. going forward and also decide whether or not it wants to adopt any other e.u. rules and regulations going forward it can debate that and decide on that at a later date to resume may's convinced that this is the only way forward we've seen two proposals fail in the past will she be successful this time she at least is hoping to have full support from the cabinet by the end of the day or what will it mean for if she doesn't need. well it's a huge question to see whether or not she is going to actually get the support that she does need we know that going into this meeting some of the bricks at camp within her own cabinet of whole the whole help their own meeting recently to strategize on what to do next how to approach these discussions going forward we know that david davis the rhetoric secretary the man who goes to brussels on a regular basis to cut negotiation to cut deals with the e.u.
1:15 pm
is totally against this plan he has reportedly written a letter to the prime minister saying how much of a bad idea it is but ministers are under a tremendous amount of pressure there was one government source reported in the times newspaper here in the u.k. that apparently said that if ministers do decide to resign in protest something that some of them have suggested they could do then they would have to relinquish all ministerial g.t.s. immediately and possibly even walk to the station from checkers later on in the day so a tremendous amount of pressure that ministers are under tremendous amount of pressure to resume a is under if she fails to get the support she needs it's another blow to her leadership another blow to the stability of the british government need farka there from london. one of the many disagreements within the british government is over the fate of the land border between northern ireland which is part of the u.k. and the irish republic both ireland and the u.k. oppose the return of checkpoints and closed roads which would be disastrous for its
1:16 pm
economy lawrence new reports from the town of dunn dark who could imagine that the future of the economy of the british isles could rest on what to do with road junctions but the places like this where trucks with u.k. northern irish and southern irish markings all rumble by he says was everything has come down to. for the european union sorting out what to do with the irish border is now be single most important issue in trying to break the deadlock with the u.k. over breakfast and yet for so-called hard brick sitters the border transport economics are almost dismissed as an irritating thing fail enough apparently weapons british attitude is in century for people living on the irish side of the border. from the very beginning our business has always been focused on our customers this expensive video was produced by a company which turned fifty this year to use its position on the border to turn a family company into one which stores and ships goods all over the world the fact
1:17 pm
that the british government seems to have no rational plan for the border fills them with here i have major concerns for what the future is going to bring. plus its customers and the implications going to be quite a vicious staff to me but the cost implications mean there is going to be a cost to absorb such as if the manufacturer is a transport company or set a consumer. the irish economy has rebounded on two years of trouble caused by the banking crisis now every projection says bracks it will set it back again putting a hard border back to allow the u.k. a clean break from europe is the worst of all scenarios businesses are really concerned because they're putting in place plans and some are acting now you know if you're a financial services company facing a potential cliff next year the regulators are going to insist that you have those plans in place that companies are already making decisions making investment decisions and it's having a bearing i suppose already on the economy. you need
1:18 pm
a long memory to understand the fury on the border when it was close people marched in protest of the social and economic damage the one nine hundred sixty s. and seventy's the border town of dundalk was not only economically depressed but harbored enormous anti british political sentiments now the open border has vastly improved things but here the perception of british attitude. persists you don't trust the british government not much i mean he can go to palestine you can look at what was promised under the balfour declaration of one thousand eight hundred both sides were promised the same deal you can look here and see what was promised here you can look at the sectarianism that was allowed to be tolerated for over fifty years until they were forced to address the issue. some of the most fervent breakfasters of even suggested the way around all this is for ireland to leave the european union as well as the u.k. not only is that viewed as enormously patronize ing it's clear that island sees a chance for once to stand up to the british seen from here opposition to the hard
1:19 pm
border has much to do with writing historical wrongs as well as protecting the economy. dundalk. plenty more still ahead on the news hour including fatal police shooting in france raises questions about the treatment of minorities. the stalled syria peace talks are back on for how long thank you life of the syria jordan border. and a shock defeat for the defending champion at wimbledon details coming up with a follow up and school. israel supreme court has suspended the demolition of some palestinian homes in the occupied west bank on thursday thirty five people were injured and eleven detained in. as they fought with security forces to prevent their homes from being raised rights groups say israel is attempting to clear the area of palestinian homes to

1:21 pm
the justice system and it will do its work thorley it with full transparency because everyone wants to know exactly what happened and i will make sure this is the case. the man killed was driving in this neighborhood when police stopped his car for a check police say he gave a fake identity than a properly reversed as if fleeing prompting another officer to open fire ridiculous said the fact that this individual has been judge jackson's june two thousand and seventeen off and the restaurant issued by the credit court for an organized group of criminals that maybe this would explain the logic behind the driver's attempt to flee. the. people here say tensions often run high between police and young people but the fatal shooting has shocked many. for a so-called routine traffic stop because it can happen when he went to be pulled over and asked for his papers in the car it should be simple maybe a search of something but i don't think there's a need for weapons the victim was from

1:23 pm
a fellow diver pulled him out and attempted to resuscitate him he died from lack of oxygen his death underlines just how risky the conditions are it takes six hours to reach the boys and their coach and involves a series of complicated dives the effort to find another way to get them out is picking up pace by the drilling is ongoing on the western side of the mountain and aiming to east the location where the boys were found we can't yet to pinpoint exactly cation using global positioning systems otherwise we could drill into the caves and bring them out. but another team is specifically focused on finding their location above ground using technology and equipment that can detect fault lines underground. to send and receive wife signals we can gather information that can be used to find the boys like cation in the cave from above the ground even with all the technology being deployed and the hundreds of rescuers working around the clock the biggest threat remains to be something that nobody has any control over the

weather one heavy rainfall could undo days of work and the families continue their wait at the mouth of the cave hoping for a communication line with the boys and their coach to be completed it was supposed to be up and running days ago it's got harder al-jazeera. at least two hundred people have been killed in an escalating conflict in central nigeria of a fertile land hundreds have been forced to flee their homes as indigenous farmers battled cattle herders i'm adriene says mol from joss in nigeria's plateau state. orphaned by a conflict she knows nothing about this toddler fighting for her life was brought to hospital with a broken limbs and standpoint our parents didn't survive. the the old villages in troublous were all affected by a conflict that many years old was over after three year break it came by the very real shock to me that this same community would resume. attacks again
1:25 pm
and was will lead to these number of killings in blood is that there must be total investigation on us the root cause of this case it may be beyond what was the government responded by deploying more troops but that hasn't stopped the flow of refugees. but only could areas has been was a casualty he didn't leave when others fled she's in causal level. neurons will burn in labor i feel powerless without him you know and i don't know what will happen to me or the kids who are in school i don't know but people do this is the grave of the only victim of the attack on cockroach fish witnesses say when the religious sense then they moved us in from the kitchen protected by the security forces but many vulnerable villages once or

1:27 pm
affected by killings this year the conflict center mainly on land resources the population has grown so has the demand for food and with effects of climate change becoming more real the fight over land and water has intensified again you also say that with nigeria's campaign season opening politicians i exported the situation to their advantage. al-jazeera central nigeria. well in a few moments we'll have all the weather with richard but still ahead here on al-jazeera. it is now time that the russian state comes forward and explains exactly what has gone on britain points the finger at russia again and demands answers on the poisoning of an english couple. more than twenty years after a sarin gas attack in japan which killed thirteen people a cult leader and some of his followers are executed and its border was not brought up tending to this race for these two young ethiopian rollo's father will be here

1:29 pm
a temperature of twenty five point three the two warmest consecutive days that they've had in july since well the last hundred and fifty nine years you do the mathematics so well up into the caucuses where tbilisi in georgia has just come off the back of a record breaking forty point five degrees. across the border in armenia temperatures have reached as high as forty two degrees causing all sorts of problems again records and then you see the real impact of peaceful ways when you get to somewhere like canada where montreal has done temperatures in excess of thirty six degrees and more than thirty people have died as the heat wave is swept across the eastern side of the country. the weather.

watching the news hour here now to syria now time to recap the top stories the future of the two thousand and fifteen iran nuclear deal is being discussed at a meeting of five world powers vienna foreign ministers from britain france china germany and russia joined by divided city for iraq it's the first time they've come together since the u.s. controversially pulled out of the green earlier this year in thailand one of the divers helping with the rescue of a boy's football team trapped in a cave has died a former navy seal lost consciousness from a lack of oxygen on his way out of the cave he's been delivering oxygen tanks to the twelve boys and their coach china has responded with retaliatory tariffs after the trumpet ministration imposed juices on thirty four billion dollars worth of
1:32 pm
chinese imports beijing is accused washington of launching what it calls the largest trade war in economic history. jasper kim is a professor of international studies are you how are you women's university joins us now via skype from seoul good to have you with us so will there be any winners in this trade war just to lose it well i think it's going to be a lose lose situation i just like you know war work and so often people don't think that will end up like this because the other side will go first. but unfortunately here in this case it seems like both sides the u.s. and china are taking this step forward and no one wants to believe first. what those tariffs on thirty four billion dollars worth of goods mean for the rest of the world though. well you know if he's to talk to economies in the world it just
1:33 pm
trickles down to every other economy and what that means is that prices may go up and sometimes dramatically and so that's not good for anyone because i don't go basically push up prices and drive open play sure and another residual effect of that is that it'll drive consumer confidence down so that means that businesses all over the world not just the u.s. and china they'll say well i want to hire that person do i want to set up this factory the question might be no because what the private sector and businesses hate is uncertainty and certainly the certainty levels are really spiking up at this. does that mean that we're going to see perhaps a knock on effect on global economic growth i definitely as a case if this is you know if this continues forward hopefully it won't totally there will be a gradual reduction in tension tension a month or two sides it was going to have to happen and for that scenario to basically play out is one side has to concede to the other but that's basically
1:34 pm
a loss of face this has to be done sort of behind the scenes between these top two leaders donald trump and he's being will some countries benefit from this and i was talking about the negative impact so much but i'm thinking like south korea samsung a competitor of apple for example they might find some good news in this. well it's possible i mean it's a distinct possibility because what china has done recently is lower tariffs on certain countries and south korea is one of them and why would that be the case is simply that so it's really export driven so what it really sends out to the rest of the world most of china in the u.s. are intermediary goods like so my conductor chips lifelong late go displays for phones so china needs out to create the final finished product to sell you know their markets so it could be some of you could be a winner but the other hand it really depends on the u.s. as well and other countries so if the whole economy world economy starts to go down again that doesn't help anyone are we seeing
1:35 pm
a situation now where china might be finding common ground with other global pallas like the e.u. for example also have some trade tariff issues with the u.s. that this might backfire on donald trump well there's the older maxim that the enemy of your enemy is my friends who knows what the type of common interests that these two have that you want china but you know they see additional croman allies or just permanent interests and so it could be the case where you have some really odd couple in here between the p.r.c. and you we should be trying to maximize and leverage your edge morty against the u.s. and you know canada is also in there mexico is also in there so the u.s. has to really be careful because you can't be one person. all right good to get your thoughts and analysis on that thanks so much just became. the united nations says fighting in southern syria is putting the lives of three quarters of a million civilians at risk the syrian government with russian backing is pressing
1:36 pm
on with an offensive to capture parts of daraa and quote ita hundreds of air strikes have hit rebel held areas about three hundred twenty thousand people have been displaced since the operation began more than two weeks ago sixty thousand displaced people are now camped at the jordanian border crossing of thousands more are along the border with these really occupied golan heights meanwhile jordan says it's persuaded syrian rebels bank the negotiating table with russia talks collapsed on wednesday prompting the escalation in fighting and smith joins me now live from the java crossing on the jordan syrian border so how does it look there now. sami the main prize for the syrian regime forces is just behind the main prize in this battle you can probably see a white area that is the jordanian side the border crossing and just on the other side with a little blue sign that is syria that is the nazi border crossing that is what the
1:37 pm
syrian regime want control of that will reopen trade routes into jordan and that is the main area of the discussion at the moment between the opposition groups and the russians now it's been quiet here for the last three hours there's been no shelling there been no air strikes that means there are negotiations going on because either by force or by negotiations the russians and the syrian regime will eventually retake control of that area the negotiations with the opposition groups are essentially around this the groups handing over their heavy weapons they say they want to do it in stages and they're also looking out here understands for safe passage for at least six thousand free syrian army fighters and their families safe passage to the north there could be more of them so that's what's being discussed at the moment if there is an agreement and then we're unlikely to hear or see any more shelling here as the opposition forces will pull out and the russians and the regime forces will take over we've seen in the meanwhile
1:38 pm
a lot of traffic on the roads behind us on the syrian side that shows the rebel forces the mother still in the rebel controlled area position control there we've seen them coming and going a lot of activity on their motorbikes over there as a lot going on at the moment something if it's a bit quieter now in the border does that mean any good news for hopes of a deliveries. well some aid there's another border crossing further up there is aid u.n. aid still getting through at this particular area is not an area where aid is passed through anyway this is a rebel held area the jordanian side it's closed there is to the left of me just where we were showing you is where some of the refugees are part of this job or industrial zone is what we're always where we are there is some aid getting through there anyway so there is some help getting on where of course the fear is and the jordanians great fear is that if these negotiations don't work then the bombardments and the air strikes will begin again and more refugees will come so
1:39 pm
a lot of hope from all quarters that this will end with the rebel forces falling out and therefore no more refugees heading to the border. all right thanks so much bernard smith where. protesters are gathering in the south korean capital seoul to protest against of course refusal to issue an arrest warrant for the chairman of korean airlines among those demonstrating are airline staff who want cho yang ho to step down cho is under investigation for embezzlement and tax evasion but a judge on thursday ruled the charges were disputable recently his wife and two daughters were also in the news for misbehaving with staff on korean airlines. well sarah clarke joins us live from seoul is not just korean allies stauffer on happy thoughts about the protests there. but there are actually two protests different protests but both from a two of south korea's biggest airline carriers were planted they eventually. both
1:40 pm
are in support of each other's causes as you mentioned the bigger international issue is looking at the situation of korean air away staff first stewards and pilots have held a number of protests including tonight's demanding that mr choice the chair resign over an investigation into his role in tax evasion and embezzlement using the company his company for financial gain for his various business empire operations and now last night as you mentioned a court gave him a refer. denied a request by prosecution to have a arrest warrant and tonight the staff and stewards of pots were back on the streets and demanding he stand down this is also not just him but his family's bad behavior as they call it at the door you might remember the not bridge case where in two thousand and fourteen where a flight was forced to go back into new york and delight as a result of her abuse or assault assaulting a member of the staff in a second issue here tonight was looking at asiana airlines is the second second
1:41 pm
biggest carrier in south korea their issues quite different but again it's targeting management this is over this week in flight chaos when more than one hundred ten flights took off from seoul and around south korea without their meals after the management change the catering business this sadly resulted in the head of that catering business committing suicide and tonight a lot of the stuff we hear protesting against management wearing black komisarek noting that the loss of the supply so once again its staff and stewards but both protests were targeting management and the way they treat this stuff. so vary from small. britain's home secretary is demanding answers from russia after a man and woman were exposed to the nerve agent navi chalke police believe dawn sturges and charlie riley collapsed after they handle the contaminated item in the small town of amesbury that's near the city of solsbury where russian double agent surrogates kripalani his daughter were attacked with the same chemical weapon
