winning the flooding in the cave all to see the meteorologist steph gold has the latest forecast for the region during the month of july you would expect three hundred millimeters of rain we are in the monsoon after all but over the last few days there's been nothing like the amount of rain they could have been over the next few days they will be born the way of showers i think on monday they'll be one or two and then on choose day perhaps another one or two but these chances slightly misleading because they could be some showers on choose date later on during the day what we're seeing from our model was there is it looks like it's going to be wednesday and thursday where there's heavier showers and there's more of them as well certainly we've been lucky so far this month in two thousand and sixteen we had ninety four millimeters of rain in the first nine days of july in two thousand and seventeen we had one hundred twenty five but so far this month there's only been eighteen and let's hope we stay lucky for the next few days. thank you more

ahead on the news hour including this person with a great job but i've got very close to making a decision at the latest move by president trump that could have repercussions for decades and coming up in sports peter will be here to tell you about the latest in a tight formula one title race. if you and eritrea are restoring diplomatic relations and opening their shared border after twenty years of his still ity leaders have been meeting in that at a train capital a small part of the historic peace summit priyanka go to reports. a scene that was hard to imagine even a few days ago and if you'll be a prime minister locked in the embrace of an every truly deaf on everything going soil the two countries haven't had diplomatic relations in twenty years but it was a gesture and an opportunity that eritrean president is a yes

a forty welcomed with warm smiles and a red carpet this isn't just peace between countries to ordinary countries for two or three neighbors if you're paying your three i have a very rich history shared culture shared religion and shared memory in trauma. thousands of people lined the streets of the capital a smile to greet these motorcade they stood among flags of the two nations once at war. nearly a hundred thousand people were killed during that conflict over a disputed border between one thousand nine hundred eighty and two thousand but over the past few weeks they have been signs of improving relations last month as new reformist prime minister ahmed agreed to accept the terms of a peace deal that ended the two year conflict it was his biggest and most controversial decision yet since coming to power earlier this. yeah there are

a number of tissue territories along the border and territories will move both directions to eritrea and ethiopia and there are going to be communities like the resist being finding themselves transferred to another national jurisdiction or divided by the new order so the implementation is something that's going to have to be handled very carefully. the dispute has taken a toll on both sides of the border. isolated regime and its focus on the border conflict with has forced houses of people to flee the country diskeeper its mandatory military conscription abby meanwhile wants to put if you'll be back on track as one of africa's bosses going connelly's with access to edit posts but for many it's a symbolic coming together of the bid to for was that have raised hopes for peace in the horn of africa priyanka gupta al jazeera obvious male summit out as

a professor at university of minnesota and an elected member of the african academy of sciences is joining us now via skype from minneapolis and minnesota thank you very much indeed for your time sir how confident can people be that this agreement is going to hold your breath or can we. need you know you and all but anyone can be one of many i would like. to be quite common in the more you'll hear it but i think a lot of. his point. here have been for quite a while. so we are having a few few problems hearing you the line is not that great let me just ask you one further question at a trailer has been demanding that the ethiopian troops withdraw from the border region how much confidence is there do you think that that will happen. i think they will the prime minister had made a commitment he had put it in the at the top and i think we can work quite well let

me add one more thing that i think the prime unit they are quite big than i had the sense that you had leaking from a nobel prize winner in the region a couple never had one on the on in normal but the kind of people they kind of he had him quite remember it and i think. he and maybe create that we want to go to be one of the. obvious ones a summit out of professor of geography at university of minnesota we appreciate your time sir thank you very much indeed of course. there's confusion in brazil as to whether or not the former president lewis enough feel and know that this is to be released from prison a court of appeals judge overruled a decision to free libya but it seems the original order does now stand and he will be allowed to leave lisbon serving a sentence of twelve years and one month in prison for corruption let's go now to douglas wyman he's joining us now via skype daniel there's

a lot of back and forth on this just give us the latest where are we with this. well the only thing we know for certain is that the civil will not be coming out of prison so tonight a federal judge was asked to step in to try to solve the the impasse he has ruled that the arrest warrant is still valid and former president lula da silva must stay in prison including chiba where as you say so and not twelve year and one month sentence on charges of corruption and money laundering but his team are going to continue working it's obviously late on sunday at the start of the world monday morning other judges other lawyers will be back in action his legal team are asking for richard haiti this corpus allow him to be released from prison to exhaust all the possible appeal procedures they're saying that's the legal procedure that should be followed this wrong that he's in prison so the fight really goes on you will has said all along that he is innocent of the charges against did it is a political vendetta to stop him from running

a presidential elections in october and he has until august to produce name forward many of his supporters opinion polls seem to suggest that if he's in it were it would stand he wouldn't that windows actions so it could in his very interesting situation where we don't know whether it will serve the twelve years in prison or if he's allowed out and the electrical cords of allows him to stand he could by the end of the year be president of brazil's very strange situation great confusion or around resist adding to the polarization of those who support former president lula da silva and those who believe he's a criminal and should spend his time in prison dying of thanks very much for now peter hacker is a lacking american political analyst he's joining us now from washington d.c. this is been a very turbulent case for several months now what's your reaction to this latest news. well there is a little bit stunned that it happened so quickly. that judge ruled

the loo in fact had a case and shouldn't be in prison and ordered him to be let go. not too long after that another judge said no that was the wrong the situation and moola should stay in jail. and this contradiction this confrontation between two judges of an appeals court finally i think resolved that least for now for a few days. the president of the court decided that lou the should remain in jail and there is lots of questions how the issue will be resolved whether will go to a higher court the supreme court or whether there will be some kind of broad. vote of all the justices of the peals court so a very very let's say unpredictable and

destabilizing in some ways of the upcoming election yeah i want to talk here in a moment about the impact on brazilian politics but how much do you think. political decisions are influencing the decisions being made by the judges i think i basically think the judges are acting on sort of the rule of law. basically the constitution and all i think they interpret it in different ways i don't think they're politically engaged the judges some might be more or less. but they do have obviously political views and there are differences on the court thousands of people took to the streets initially demanding that lou that is be imprisoned how do you think his supporters are going to be reacting to this latest news. i think that they're going to be energized

a bit see some glimmer of hope in fact that the judicial system will give them this freedom for the for some time and maybe even allow him to run i think this will be energizing for his party and his supporters peter hakon the latin american political analyst thank you very much indeed to news in state media is reporting that nine members of the country's security forces have been killed in an ambush engine dubow province close to the border with algeria the interior ministry says a police patrol was attacked with a grenade and then shot at if confirmed that death toll will be the highest in an attack in june is since twenty fifteen syrian state t.v. says its air defenses have hit an israeli warplane and shot down missiles that targeted the tea for air base in homs province it says six missiles were aimed at the base and several were shot down there israel has carried out dozens of air

the cease fire deal was essentially that the rebel groups opposition groups would hand over the heavy weapons they would be given safe passage to opposition groups held areas in the north of syria and that the russians would oversee security along the border areas that particular aspect very important because people down there were concerned should syrian forces without russian supervision might take retaliatory steps against people living there but anyway what this group accusing the syrians and the russians of not regarding this is fire agreement it's not clear what part of the cream and they are not respecting or being accused of not respecting but that has prompted an outbreak of fighting ass trikes we understand shelling on the ground it's a year since iraqi forces brought isis violent three year occupation of mosul to an end but iraq's second biggest city remains in ruins and as marianna holland reports many living in the rubble feel their government and the world have abandoned them.

a final decision and i believe. this person will do a great job but i've come very close to making a decision have not made it official yet obviously at that maybe final but we're very close to making a decision. that well i'd say it's still let's say is that what the vote but they're actually everywhere you can't go wrong well donaldson might be playing his cards close to his chest but there's now a general consensus about who's in the top three for the soon to be vacated supreme court seat first up is brant common he began his career as a clock to justice kennedy who's retiring at the end of the month the fifty three year old is popular choice for conservatives because of his stance on abortion immigration and gun rights and then there's raymond catholic she's a fifty one year old sixth circuit appeals court judge and he's seen as supporting originalism that's interpreted the constitution along the lines of its meaning at the time of enact them and forty six year old mother of seven amy coney barrett is viewed as the outside choice she's

a former professor of law and member of the people of praise religious organization and a favorite among social conservatives let's go to john hendren he's live for us in washington obviously i was mentioning there may be four candidates in the running for this is there any sense any indication in washington on who he is likely to go for. there is indeed but that the president has deliberately left this sense of mystery out there that this is become the reality t.v. presidency he's teasing us sees his administration has tossed out these names and then he's going to announce the winner on primetime television just as if he were still on the game on the show the apprentice kavanaugh is the man that people keep talking about in betting in las vegas and online he is the favorite. he is widely viewed as the front runner but he's got some serious problems when it comes to president trump and one is that he worked as staff secretary for president bush the

president is not fond of the bushes also he worked for kenneth starr the special prosecutor who pursued bill clinton when he was in office and this of course is a president who is not terribly fond of special counsel so there was loser two things that might work against him then there's catholics who is safe likable but according to those who know the president he considers him fairly dull and the president really considers personality important when he makes these choices then there's the social conservative you mentioned barrett she has done a lot of academic writing on abortion what that does is it gives democrats something to target the democrats would very much like to delay this until after the november midterm elections because then they hope to have control of the senate and that and therefore control over this decision so those are the favorites but he's also looking at somebody who he turned down last time around and that is thomas hardy and he was the runner up when neal gorsuch was chosen for the last opening trump reportedly likes his personal story he was the first member of his

family to go to college he once drove a taxi and he was recommended by trump sr who is an appeals court judge in philadelphia john thanks very much indeed. germany's chancellor will meet the chinese premier for talks on monday to discuss the u.s. led trade war both leaders have criticized donald trump's huge international tower of sound as dominic came reports it's not just the u.s. trade policies that unites beijing and berlin. when they meet on monday angela merkel and likud chang will do so as partners on the world stage trade links between germany and china are strong but right now all eyes are on their collective commercial relationship with the united states the policies of the trumpet ministration have caused them real concern on the ball garion leg of his european visit the chinese premier spelt out why bush. about views that trade war is never a solution china would never start

a trade war but if any party would do its to increasing tariffs in china will take measures in response to protect china's development interests uphold your fortean efficacy of the w t o and safer multinational trade regime operating within that trade regime has generated vast amounts of revenue both in berlin and in beijing germany's total trade with china was worth two hundred thirty billion dollars in twenty seventeen a ten percent rise on the previous year but despite this the united states remains the biggest market for german companies in the last twelve months for which we have figures the u.s. trade deficit with germany reached nearly sixty seven billion dollars a fact president trump believes is justification to impose tariffs on alumium and steel imports and which the german chancellor worries may lead to other measures it's a lot of fun to me image style and beyond we now have tariffs on alimony i'm and still and we have a discussion which is very serious it appears cost who will be imposed with tariffs

when they're imported to the us ladies and gentlemen this has the character of a trade conflict i don't want to use any other word for now it's worth every effort to try to defuse this conflict so it's. doesn't turn into a war but this obviously takes to. trade is not the only area of policy where beijing and berlioz interests coincide both were instrumental in arranging the nuclear deal which brought iran in from the cold both were united in their opposition to president trump's rejection of that deal but there are still some policy differences on significant issues such as china's approach to human rights on which the two countries do differ and yet it's clear that when likud chang and angle americal meet it may well also the a meeting of minds dominic cain al-jazeera berlin or solidarity march for migrants has reached its final destination in london ten weeks after setting off
