says the return of syrians massed along its border is now a priority and those displaced people will need to feel confident that it's safe to return home so the jordanians say they've discussed guarantees with concerned parties but the russians will be expected to protect the syrians from any fear regime reprisals burnitz with al-jazeera on the jordan syria border the global chemical weapons watchdog says it's found evidence of chlorine used in an attack on the syrian city of dual which killed dozens of civilians in april the report by the o.p.c. wus based on a preliminary analysis inspectors who were sent to the city near the capital damascus say they found evidence of coronated organic chemicals in two locations united states united kingdom and france some blame the syrian government for the attack and launch a series of air strikes in response. you kate cabinet ministers have come to an agreement on what they want from the e.u.

over brics it after britain leaves the bloc members of cabinet have been in an all day meeting attempting to resolve the differences what's been described as a business friendly approach prime minister to resume a says the u.k. will obey e.u. rules moving goods between britain and europe it will look for a new arrangement for services which make up most of the british economy need more needs barca has more enough westerns. it's been an extraordinary long day for cabinet ministers and to reason may they've been locked in negotiations and discussions for more than twelve hours we've learned more over the course of the day about what the ministers had for dinner as opposed to what they actually achieved in their meetings but at the end of it all to reason may is the merge saying that her government has reached a collective position on how best to move forward with trade negotiations with the e.u. at the heart of it all she talks about there being a key wish list for the u.k. going forward about there being a common at u.k. e.u.

trading area about there being a common rule book when it comes to the movement of industrial and agricultural goods between the bloc and the u.k. going forward about there being over duction of any possible friction between the two as well putting pay to the possibility of return to border checks and customs posts on the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland this is what the prime minister had to say at the end of the day. in detail discussions today the cabinet has agreed our collective position on the future of our negotiations with the u n r p a proposal will create a u.k. e.u. free trade area which establishes a common rulebook on industrial goods and agricultural products this will maintain high standards but we will ensure that no changes can take place without the approval of parliament as a result we will avoid friction in trade that will protect jobs and livelihoods and also meet our commitment to northern ireland but we've also agrees

a new business friendly customs model with freedom to strike trade deals around the world and now we want to get on at pace negotiating this with you to bring prosperity and security to people well the fact that the prime minister has referred to this is a collective position rather than a unanimous decision may imply that there are some differences of opinion within the cabinet going forward we do know that the bronx accent country david davis wrote a letter to reason by ahead of this man with a meeting objecting to what he described as an unworkable proposal this does of course only form the backbone of a pre legal document or white paper that still needs to be negotiated in parliament we may well see some amendments to this proposal going forward before eventually being presented to the e.u. that has of course the power to accept or reject this proposal going forward.

the trade war between the world's largest economies has officially begun with the united states and china imposing huge tariffs on each other washington for the first shot with tariffs on thirty four billion dollars worth of chinese goods beijing has accused president donald trump of starting the largest trade war in economic history state media even comparing his administration to a going of hoodlums from beijing his report broad. china has always said it will match any u.s. tariff with its tone at the ministry of foreign affairs briefing just hours after the us terrorists were imposed china promised to be true to its word shot 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 straightforward take for tat 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. 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 so. 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 and 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 leaders appear to make new friends wherever they can probably

child may have come into contact with contaminated vial or other items in a public place it's believed he may have been thrown away by whoever carried out the march attack on the former russian spy so again screwball and his daughter beauty shop has more on the police investigation from celebrity. what's hindering the police and counterterrorism offices in this operation is the fact that novacek the nerve agent has a dangerously long shelf life as it was first deployed in march against the skip polls now four months later it's remained as deadly as ever the couple for years and on saturday are critically ill police said they can't rule out but more people could fall ill if they get in contact with the nerve agent the police are working on the strong assumption that the couple made contact with the nerve agent at a location that was not part of the multi-million pound cleanup operation the last

as water and air are the crabs. it's all of it. it's all a catch in the water the chain of islands on the coast of maryland has depended on crab fishing for nearly three centuries the local economy rides on the backs of these christie ations and the mexican workers who travel here to pick their meat. these are foreign seasonal workers who fill the local labor shortage this woman has made the annual journey for twenty years back to wal-mart. and make more money here than in mexico i don't have to work as much and i have benefits and i've been able to better my life. but this partnership between the mexican crab pickers and their american employers faces a challenge to the trauma administration changed the process of awarding a worker visa called the h two b. this year it's now
