at their. ease just as guilty suffers the same consequences that's the long exploring the dark side of american justice system with joe burden on al-jazeera. after weeks of government bombardments and a massive civilian exodus opposition fighters in southern syria agree to a cease fire. hello i'm maryam namazie in london you know with al-jazeera also coming up washington's multi-billion dollar tariffs on china take effect prompting fury from beijing state media compares the trumpet ministration to a gang of food limbs. crucial talks on bret's it at the british prime minister's country retreat into reason may convince hardcore believers to follow her way. and

the death of a former navy diver helping to rescue a football team trapped inside a cave in thailand raises serious doubts of the just how safe it is to bring the boys out. opposition forces in syria who have been battered by a massive government offensive since mid june in southern province of agree to a cease fire deal brokered by russia fighters have agreed to hand over heavy weapons in exchange they'll be given safe passage to rebel areas in the north russian military police will be deployed to guarantee their safe passage the army has also agreed to leave four villages in daraa and also in a major victory for president bashar assad his forces are getting back a key border crossing with jordan so abundant smith is at the job or crossing on

the jordan syria border what more do we know about this truce and when it's likely to take effect. well our border crossing are significant prize for us of forces is just behind me in the crossing on the syrian side of java crossing is called on the jordanian side assad wants warm day soon to be able to reopen the border crossing it's a significant trade route allows him to be to start rebuilding syria some time further down the line we know that effective the effectively this is a surrender by opposition forces and over the last few days the terms of those surrenders as you've talked about the terms of the surrender been being discussed they've surrendered of course in the face of overwhelming firepower from the russian forces particularly air strikes from the russians that have backed up the syrian forces so in the face of that there was little option left really for the opposition book to surrender or face a bombardment that would have

a blitz aerated what forces there. so now many thousands of those f.s.a. fighters and their families will be given safe passage to the one of the last remaining opposition strongholds in northern syria there is still an area here in the southwest near the golan heights and there the israeli occupied golan heights but remains under rebel control that it's expected the future of that area will also become under discussion in the coming days and weeks marion we also know bernard that many hundreds of thousands of civilians have fled their homes and have been displaced since the offensive started a few weeks ago what now for them. well one of the most significant parts perhaps for the opposition about the surrender terms is that the russian military police will be deployed along this border there should be no syrian syrian military shouldn't be a syrian military presence here according to the round of terms that are

significant for the refugees because massed along this border as you say hundreds of thousands of refugees of a skate the fighting they the jordanians especially hope will now go home they need to be feel confident that they can go home without the fear of reprisals from from the syrian military regime forces so the russian are expected to sort of guarantee that security so the jordanians would making sure that the russians stay there for the time being to guarantee the safety of those civilians and that they will then go home and stop pressuring the border with jordan and syria all right for now thank you very much bernard smith with all the latest at the jordan syria or dead. a trade war between the worlds largest economies has officially begun with the u.s. and china imposing tariffs on each other washington fired the first shot with

tariffs on thirty four billion dollars worth of chinese goods a chain has now accused president donald trump of starting the largest trade war in economic history state media even comparing his administration to a gang of hoodlums from beijing rob fried reports china has always said it will match any u.s. tariff with its own at the ministry of foreign affairs briefing just hours after the u.s. terrorists were imposed china promised to be true to its word shooters are i want to stress that we never want to see the escalation of trade frictions into a trade war a trade war is the last thing we want to see because as we've said many times no one country will benefit. 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 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 tit for tat easily winnable trade war it's complicated for example some of the chinese semiconductors the u.s. is putting tariffs on use microchips that are designed and made in the u.s. so those companies will also be hits. it's thought the u.s.

is imposing tariffs to punish china for what it says are unfair trade practices and stealing american intellectual property rights but attending a gathering of sixteen central and east european leaders in both garia chinese premier league co-chairing said foreign firms were safe in china. our view is that trade war is never a solution china would never start a trade war but if any party resorts to increase of tariffs then china will take measures in response to protect step up interests uphold the authority of the world trade organization and save the multinational trade order as relations with the u.s. continue to serve china's readers appear to make new friends wherever they can probably bright al-jazeera beijing well let's now speech to our white house correspondent kimberly how kit and kimberly the language coming from beijing suggests that they are prepared to hit back u.s. tariffs what might president trump do next. ask this there really is

a sense that we're now in the midst of a tit for tat trade war between the two nations we know from donald trump speaking to reporters on thursday that in addition to the thirty four billion that are now subject to tariffs and chinese imports here to the united states there are another sixteen billion that are going to be put forward in about two weeks and after that another two hundred billion could be leveled or handed down and then at the ready another three hundred billion in tariff so there's no question that donald trump and his administration have certainly decided to take a confrontational approach we knew this was coming maryam he now says this potentially could happen back in april since then there have been high level talks between the two nations apparently not yielding the results the united states was looking for because at the root of all of this is the accusation that china in the rise of the united states has been for many years stealing intellectual property and also sort of subjecting the united states to unfair trading practices so in the

absence of action by other nations who also have level similar complaints donald trump has decided to act unilaterally. but why why is he doing this now. well the question really is why in terms of the timing it has a lot to do with domestic politics we've got the midterm elections the congressional elections that are looming very large happening in november and so it seems that there's sort of this decision the within the white house to be confrontational not just on trade but also we've seen on immigration in recent weeks and the reason they're doing this is because the poll numbers are responding domestically don't trust poll numbers are not only solid but numbers we're seeing that we haven't seen really since the inauguration so it's playing well to his base it also seems to be perhaps doing well with some who were sort of on the fence in terms of what they felt about donald trump so it really has

a lot to do with those elections coming up but it really is a gamble because what we're seeing here is really an up and being of the rules that have governed global trading for almost a half century and it could have a blowback because this could in essence well there is a short term calculation here could eventually hit american consumers so in the long term may not play out as well as donald trump was hoping thank you very much from washington can really help with the latest well now members of the cabinet here in the u.k. a meeting of what's expected to be marathon talks as they attempt to resolve their differences over a break sit prime minister to resign may appeal to ministers to perform their juicy head of discussions at a country residence pressure is mounting on may to unite a government of the plans to leave the block with the march twenty nineteen deadline fast approaching on leave bonkers following these developments for us from westminster in london i mean cabinet is divided she's in a race against time what is to resume

a going to try to do over the next few days. well earlier in the week we heard her speak in berlin in which she talked about increasing the pace and the intensity of negotiations with the e.u. the only problem is that the british government has no united negotiating position over several key things to do with trade at the heart of that is why she's assembled her leading ministers at checkers her official residence outside london to hammer out. supports for her latest proposal there being two proposals in the past they've both been rejected the latest one she says she believes will satisfy both camps the break cities and the remain as it's called the facilitated customs arrangement is full of technicalities but at its heart it would see the u.k. imposing its own import tariffs on goods coming into the u.k. from outside the european union that's been one of the break cities key demands allowing the u.k. to forge trade deals with other parts of the world on the other hand it would

satisfy and they remain a see some degree of alignment going on with the e.u. policies here in the u.k. mirroring e.u. rules as well especially when it comes to goods and services when it comes to quality control or or health and safety issues one of the brics it is of rejected that saying that when it comes to dealing with the united states that doesn't have the same kind of standards when it comes to health and safety maybe this is a bad idea they've been divisions from the offset between different camps within their own cabinet we know david davis the secretary has written to the reason may saying that the plan is unworkable a part of the plan goods going through the united kingdom to the e.u. would still be subject to e.u. tariffs but the u.k. would simply collect them on the half behalf of brussels and hound them over to the e.u. that's a plan david davies thinks is not going to work in practice well to reason may has

basically until the end of the day to come up with a solution she needs her cabinet behind her she needs to prove that there is real momentum when it comes to trade talks going forward all right thank you very much from westminster needs baka. you have al jazeera live from london still ahead on the program european powers try to cobble together an economic package to keep iran in the nuclear deal that trump is ditched. on the music that kids in indonesia call get enough of a government is blocking it we'll tell you why. welcome back the monsoon weather front of boys known as the you bio system is

looking pretty active at the moment it's just sinking towards the south so heavy rain is expected to clear from shanghai fuzhou those going to be pretty wet taiwan will see some heavy rain and hong kong too can expect some downpours that heavy rain extends across into other parts of southern china indeed into northern parts of vietnam as offensive forecaster into sunday again that system slips a little bit further towards the south otherwise across the rest of indochina we've got to draw conditions across los movie but again a lot of wet weather coming in off the bear bangle into parts of me and mar across into south asia the interesting features this little circulation of low pressure which is developing in the central parts of india and that is sort of sent a very close one poor sin decent rainfall accumulation to the south but i think one could see some serious flooding over the next twenty four to forty hours that system just rotates around the region otherwise some heavy rain down through the west and still showers in the eastern parts of india and bangladesh but largely dry and fine for delhi there temperatures as high as forty two degrees as we head on

through into sunday but for crutches much as you'd expect at this time of the year with a maximum of thirty four degrees. they expelled from their base in jordan in lebanon and left in the political. rebellion was rising in the ring see the p.l.o. would was this just another inevitable step down the road to this is. just more of the conflict the cost out of saddam's leadership than life. chronicling the turbulent story struggled for instance. in the history of the revolution on al-jazeera.

welcome back quick look at top stories this hour opposition forces in syria have been battered by a massive government offensive since the middle of june in southern province have agreed to a cease fire deal brokered by russia china has accused u.s. president donald trump of starting the biggest trade war in history with the world's two largest economies imposing huge tarsem each other. and members of cabinet in the u.k. a meeting what's expected to be marathon talks as they attempt to resolve their differences a price it. all in thailand one of the divers helping with the cave rescue of the trapped youth football team has died a former navy seal lost consciousness on his way out of the cave it been delivering oxygen tanks to the twelve teenage boys and their coach rescuers have been in a race against time to extract the teen team as monsoon rains off will cost over

the next few days scott is at the rescue site in chiang rai. so mancow don was a retired navy seal diver who was brought back to help with the operation to rescue the stranded football team and their coach he was part of the seal team with the british divers who found the boys' early friday morning he was ferrying air tanks deep in the cave he passed out under water a fellow diver pulled him out and attempted to resuscitate him he died from lack of oxygen and 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 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 got either al-jazeera.

al-jazeera. where every. when the news breaks. on the mailman city and the story builds to be forced to leave it would just be when people need to be heard women and girls are being bought and given away in refugee camps al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring new award winning documentaries and live news on al-jazeera i got to commend you on

hearing is good journalism on air and online. one of the biggest problems facing our oceans and the loss of seagrass that is what's a girl for roughly fifty first. and of the ocean's total carbon storage right after they hold wife as much carbon dioxide as rain forest and they're also russian marine habitats for many endangered oceans species. but here on elkhorn slew in central california the tide could be turning for sea grass thanks to some

unexpected allies. oh yeah we hear. this nine hundred hector asked you where it is where rivers throughout this region the pacific ocean this is the agricultural powerhouse of the united states and fertilizer and pesticide runoff threaten the balance of this delicate ecosystem so having farmers so close to the ocean on what what impact does that have on the water quality well i mean were you coastal environments close to urban centers coast or were once closed cultural centers you get like. it grows with the rocks it eventually starts the composing over half of the world sea grass meadows are in decline but here in al corn slue they're making a surprising comeback. oh wow.

at one time there were thousands of sea otters in california but in the eighteen hundreds they were hunted to near extinction for their soft fur pelts. there are now more than one hundred in this as consuming a staggering one hundred thousand crabs per year. this federation is appetite has helped restore the balance of this ecosystem by triggering a chain reaction known as a trophic cascade. c r e z crabs lower crop numbers allows smaller invertebrates like sea slugs to thrive and these creatures are crucial for the health of seagrass eating builds up on the leaves they allow sunlight to reach the plants. because sea otters are so crucial to the

ecosystem scientists are carefully monitoring their slow and steady come back. they capture them and tag them with radio devices. but only here work really well. it's a crime most probably very close. what's the purpose of tropical we go out seven days a week is to go out and find individuals see where they are and what they're doing . other part of it is this just so we can understand the distribution of otters in this area what are they eating and how are they doing health wise there is one right there that's three four nine six so that beeping is an arm that peeping is from the radio transmitter that's surgically implanted in her so that helps a smoker. why don't you take a look right in there. along

the west coast of north america researchers have noticed that the return of top level predators is having an impact on restoring all kinds of underwater life and the entire ocean system. what the sea otters do it's kind of it turns the tables against. groupings of facts of sea otters eating crabs especially the seen grass an advantage again so if we introduce top predators like sea otters to ecosystems around the world will it have a knock on effect potentially in the prediction is yes so if you re store food webs which means a lot of times bringing back a top predator to a system that we wiped out they have a great potential for restoring the health of that system.

the most memorable moments with al jazeera was when i was on air as hosni mubarak fell with the crowd to tahrir square to appear. as. if something happens anywhere in the world how does iraq is in place we're able to cover news like you know all the news organizations. were able to do it properly. that is all straight. houses are for me is different because there's a maturity about its views god in the room is really genuine the other forces child but the feds take the risk of a story like you'll. find more going on in cultures or is setting out to give voice to the reality on the ground on the reality of the drought can only become the the magic of the people of the world that's what we do

nothing of what we do well. with the responding six continents across the. aisle just here is corresponding sleeping brain the stories they tell of this was not like it was in the one nine hundred ninety s. the stands. were at the mercy of the russian camp for palestinian record holders iraq soon did world news one of the really special things about working for al-jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else working for us as you know is that each other's lives but in the but together because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are we the people we live to tell the real story so i'll just mend it has to do you have in-depth generalism

we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe. al-jazeera. and for you. i remember the first time i walked into the newsroom and it felt like being in the general assembly of the united nations because it was so many nationalities. just that we all come from different places but it's one that gives us that gives us the ability to identify people who may live on the other side of the world but we can understand what it's like to have a different perspective and i think that is a strength for al jazeera.
