we do know they're not taking any chances the medical professionals and the officials here in thailand they are keeping them quarantined. as we heard from step it's a worry about infectious diseases i would imagine yes if they caught anything in the case but i also would imagine because of the ordeal they've gone through their immune systems must be taxed so they're also worried about other bacteria and other diseases other infections being passed on to them too so right now they're being extremely careful good spirits they're described as being in very good spirits obviously they're out but right now we don't know the specifics of what their health condition is other than it's good well i guess it is of relief anyway that they are out but there are as you mentioned still four boys and the coach still in the caves what do we know about when they will be trying to get out and also what their condition is like there because of course it's just extending the time that the last that the last five people out of the cave is just adding more time that

they're spending in those conditions. absolutely and the more the you know the more time you're in that cave in that environment it's not good for you at all i mean there are couple of ways you know that there's oxen deprivation you know and being in that kind of enclosed environment one thing we know when people the boys say boys are out now when they're first brought out there's a big concern about light because they've been in such intense darkness for so long that they're worried that you know their body needs to slowly adjust to that so that something low levels of oxygen you know did that they had obviously it depends on each person what degree that is and what they need to do to remedy that malnutrition again that's a very individual situation but what we do know with what's going to happen on tuesday another rescue mission you know every time we've heard these you know the two so far they've become quicker you know on the first day on sunday we heard that it was going to take up to twelve hours it didn't it only took about eight to nine

and then today it was even shorter so obviously we hope tomorrow is even shorter on tuesday but the five people a lot of calculations lot of planning going on a lot of preparations equipment going back into the cave so what they really have to figure out obviously you know what they've learned from the past to rescue missions but also can they do five they've only done four for can they do five in one go and that's something that they're probably trying to figure out right now if they can give it a go the officials tie officials have said that they have left that responsibility those decisions to those experts divers have been caving out of this mission because they would delay staff from that channel right gotten all the sleazy monitoring all developments for us for the moment thank you. in other news israel says it will shut down a key economic lifeline into the gaza strip the karim abu salim crossing is a vital access point for supplies in the besieged territory israeli authorities are also stopping fishing boats from operating more than six miles off the coast. of

going to hamas we will immediately use a heavy hand against hamas in the gaza strip in a significant step we will today close it kitty a long crossing it will be more steps but i will not elaborate harry force it has more now from west jerusalem. this measure from the israeli government has come as something of a surprise given all the talk there had been in recent weeks and months about trying to improve the situation humanitarian economic situation inside gaza for security reasons that have been the argument of the israeli army it has been the argument we understand of jason green blatt and jarred cushion of the u.s. envoys who were here recently trying to get some international and israeli support for some sort of restructuring inside gaza economic assistance to try and stave off this security problems and indeed give some traction potentially to donald trump's middle east peace plan yet to be public published instead we have this announcement from israeli prime minister in which he said he was acting with a heavy hand against hamas because of the continuing use of kites and balloons

carrying incendiary devices burning material over the gazan border and into israel east israeli territory where forests and fields have been burnt for many weeks now there have been a good deal of pressure on him to act more firmly from his own coalition partners but this action will also be felt hugely by the two million residents inside gaza the four hundred or so trucks and day that come to caroms shalem as it's known in israel. as it's known to the palestinians they bring all sorts of goods humanitarian goods food livestock animal feed medicine will still be allowed through but all industrial commercial goods will be banned the gaza chamber of commerce has told us that that will be catastrophic to the gazan economy there will be millions of dollars worth of goods stranded on the israeli side prices will spike inside gaza already gazan unemployment is running at more than forty percent

the economy has been teetering on the brink of collapse so we're told by numerous analysts over recent weeks and months this could be a decisive measure and one which could further destabilize gaza. well still to come here on al-jazeera making journalism a crime of course in myanmar charges to journalists with violating state secrets or for reporting on the range of refugee crisis plus we're going to have the latest as u.k. police investigate the death of a woman after exposure to the nerve agent chalk. we got some very stormy weather on the way for taiwan and the southeast of china at the moment it is generally fine in try to se in as a child a few showers down towards the gulf of tonkin towards high now and as we go on into

a serious business where you've got one of the big posts in a cabinet for he just doesn't like you can hack it anymore and i think he knows that he can see that he's losing control he's been written off many many times before not least due to his personal scandals remember he was sacked by michael howard for lying over an affair and everyone forgets that the amazing thing about boris is the sort of teflon is that he has these terrible things often self-inflicted this one is and he always comes back so i would never write a more. ambitious clever boris will still dream of making it to the very top but he's now a divisive figure both loved and loathed within his party and the country as a whole party phillips al-jazeera london it's going to japan now where the prime minister has cancelled their upcoming foreign trip as the number of people who have now died from flooding and landslides increases to one hundred fourteen sixty one

alarm has a seeker this is counting the cost on al-jazeera your weekly look at the world of business and economics this week car wars the world's biggest exporters try to steer away from a damaging trade war with the u.s. . a crucial choke point the strait of hormuz just became a chess piece in the high stakes global game of oil. how online streaming services are taking on hollywood bollywood and t.v. worldwide. but china

is already calling it a full blown trade war billions of dollars worth of products are affected as u.s. tariffs on selected chinese products take effect this week and china has said it is retaliating with its own tariffs on american goods but the big driver of an all out global trade fight could be cars u.s. president donald trump has said cars are key to getting trade concessions his administration is now considering a twenty five percent tariff on foreign cars and car parts in the name of national security europe currently charges a ten percent tariff on u.s. cars in the u.s. charges only two and a half percent on european cars trump says that some fare but car makers and dealers around the world point out that the u.s. has a twenty five percent tariff on light trucks and s.u.v.s they're warning the trams tariffs would be bad for the auto industry and bad for consumers analysts say it is

a case of car crash economics. a car making in twenty eight hundred is a global industry unlike any other ratings agency moody's says higher auto import tariffs will cause problems across the car industry's global supply chain china the world's biggest auto market produces a lot of the components that go into cars including those imported into the u.s. general motors is warning the trumpet ministration that tariffs could force the company to cut jobs japan's toyota has the most american made car but its warning even its kentucky produced camry will go up in price if cost to so what can be done well one idea being studied by the e.u. is a global tariff cutting deal between the world's biggest car exporters are joining us now from brussels is hustle. director of the european center for international political economy and

a leading author on trade diplomacy thanks very much for being with us so does this look like essentially a lose lose situation for everybody involved here if it happens well in the i mean this is a much bigger impact than we saw around. the tree it is almost seven times larger so you can understand the implication of this from north to us for the producers but also for the consumers just talk to us about how how important the car industry is not only to europe but also to the united states because it it's all it's it's much more globalized than it was twenty years ago is that you've got you've got components being imported built in one country and you have the same thing in other countries it's it's far more interconnected and globalized than it was before. yes indeed this is actually one of the reasons why the big three american

manufacturers have also strongly opposed this move simply because most of the cars nowadays are actually produced to be locally in the case united states to either made the united states or not in the nafta region which means canada or mexico whereas if you look at the supply chain extending over the world and so for example you can buy. b.m.w. it will be made in the united states but still key components will be arriving from germany. and sometimes even china so indeed it is a very globalised industry and we're competitive no it's actually depends on the how effectively use these efficiencies and if these tariffs are implemented isn't it likely that in the case of us automakers for example that they're going to have because because they import so much of their components that

they're going to pass on these production costs to consumers which is so it's going to mean more expensive cars for people in the u.s. . yes. it's not just in the u.s. so if you think about it for example. the some of the s.u.v.s that. are actually made by european brands they are actually made in the united states and actually shipped to europe. and of course if you have a. twenty percent price hike come both carts and the imported imported cars as well are car components obviously this will be felt as well u.s. made cars that are actually exported back to europe or both b.m.w. so this is the reason why i think we are really looking at a much much deeper implications that we have seen in previous trade was and you mentioned b.m.w. there because this has huge implications for the german car industry of course you

got the three big three carmakers there b.m.w. vote volkswagen and dima. and the the u.s. ambassador got together with. with those three companies and talked about a free free trade zone for the e.u. and the u.s. is that a viable option do you think. well in theory this proposal i have originated probably from europe the idea that europe would strike to cut the tariffs down to zero which would make sense for europe because it has already concluded that free trade agreements with countries like korea and japan and therefore most of the even ports that comes into to the e.u. is duty free anyway the only remaining countries are actually in principle united states but for the current administration in the us the question is is the purpose

of the new tariffs actually to open up the rest of the world by creating an artificial leverage or is that purpose actually trying to force factories to move from canada mexico into the united states we need to bear in mind that the negotiation over nafta is going on in the in power or there has been several times by the current administration in the us try to force cam eighty and mexican factories to actually move to the united states by tricking something called the rules of origin basically x. emptying cause that a made in canada mexico from the from duty free treatment under nafta so i think the question is in the end will be trump but mr by this is there are actually overarching. objective to actually open up the rest of the world for free trade or rather protect the domestic production in the united states although u.s.

manufacturers don't even want that protection and one implications is going to have for china which is of course a huge market for the car industry. yeah china is a very peculiar one since actually the main barrier in china is not just china maintains one of the highest arabs in the in the car industry up to twenty five percent they have recently announced that they will cut them to fifteen but it will still be much higher than the point five percent you find in united states zero percent in japan and ten percent in europe. even at that level actually the biggest trade area will be the fact that the chinese government applies what we call a foreign equity caps which means that all the subsidiaries owned by u.s. manufacturer european and japanese manufacture in china are actually forced into

joint ventures while we can call them forced marriages with their chinese competitors who are entitled to half of the profits and the hundred percent but don't know how good to speak with you. in brussels thanks very much means a pleasure thank you now it is one of the most important stretches of water in the world and iran if pushed may cut it off president rouhani and the revolutionary guard are now talking about a possible block to the strait of hormuz in response to american threats of more sanctions alan fischer has more. the u.s. wants countries to boycott a really you know oil is part of stronger international sanctions the president hassan rouhani has appeared to threaten the oil exports from other middle eastern countries if the u.s. pushes ahead as. it is incorrect in unwise to imagine that someday or produce a countries will be able to export their surplus oil and iran would not be able to

export its oil. really and fish also threaten to disrupt oil shipments in the past to do so they would target the straits of hormuz that's a major shipping lane but it's also a small stretch of water between iran to the north and oman on the ribbon peninsula to the so at its narrowest point there are just fifty five kilometers between the two pieces of land twenty percent of the world's oil passes through here but i don't think iran will ever need to really exercise this threat we have to remember iran is not the only country that is upset with the u.s. pressure on opec all that idea of the oil exports not coming from iran or remember the opec countries the whole reason a lot of these countries are in crises in the first place is because of the u.s. shale oil industry which brought prices down in the first place the u.s. has previously warned countries they must stop all imports from november or face sanctions from america no exceptions our focus is on getting as many countries importing iranian crude down to zero as soon as possible we are also working with

oil market participants including producers and consumers. to ensure market stability iran has warned any boycott of the oil industry could push prices higher it company provides around two percent of global supply or three million barrels a day the u.s. is already concerned about rising prices at the weekend u.s. president donald trump called saudi arabia's king solomon and said they do agree that the saudis would boost production but there's no sign that prices are dropping particularly as the global economy is growing in demand for energy is up india south korea turkey all u.s. allies are major importers of a really annoying they might not be able to switch providers quickly or even want to the trumpet ministration would then have to decide have sanctions on them would follow the other signatories to the nuclear deal see this still supported and are looking at ways to save it. still to come on counting the cost will look at the

price of rescuing one of china's biggest freshwater lakes from extreme pollution. first billion dollar scam this was supposed to be malaysia's state investment company i'm talking about one m d b one of the world's biggest financial frauds a scandal that's taken down a former head of government this week in nigeria malaysia's former prime minister became the first person to appear in court in connection with the disappearance of four billion dollars of taxpayers' money he's pleading not guilty so what's this all about well it was set up in two thousand and nine one m. d. b. was the name of malaysia's state or sovereign wealth fund it was meant to transform malaysia's economy through strategic investments of taxpayers' money but the one m. d. be fun proved better a borrowing money and in early twenty fifteen it missed payments for some of the eleven billion dollars it owed to banks and bondholders and the.
