4:00 pm
safe cancer causing one of the world's most profitable and widely used. counting the cost. this is al-jazeera. hello welcome to the al-jazeera news our arms the whole robin from our global headquarters here in doha this is what's coming up in the next sixty minutes. the world wants to see you get along with you are the two great nuclear power. plant amir putin speak of building a new relationship and before meeting one on one in finland. i'm james space in helsinki there's already criticism of trumpet in his opening remarks he didn't
4:01 pm
mention election meddling ukraine or syria. also had they been waiting twenty years for a party like this and yes france celebrates late into the night after a thrilling world cup victory plus they were better foes just a few months ago but now they're the best of friends eritrea reopens its embassy in ethiopia. welcome to the news are donald trump and blunt amir putin have avoided mentioning some of the most contentious issues between their countries as the u.s. and russian president spoke of building a new relationship the two exchanged a few opening remarks in front of the media before going behind closed doors for the summit in hell thinking here's some of what president trump had to say. i think we have a great opportunity as together as you can frankly we have not been getting along
4:02 pm
very well for the last number of years i've been here not too long but it's getting close to two but i think we. have been saying and i'm sure you've heard over the years and as a campaign that getting along with russia is a good thing that. well piers you hinted at finding a political solution to the war in syria will also likely be on the agenda. for the good in the context continue over recent months we've spoken on the phone and seen each other at various international events but of course it's time for discussed pearlie our bilateral relations various hot spots in the world there's quite a few of them so we need to focus on them but the elephant in the room was of course the alleged russian meddling in america's twenty sixteen presidential election just two days ago the u.s. special counsel charged twelve russian spies with hacking into computers belonging to trump's trump and the democratic party and of course that's the talk to our
4:03 pm
diplomatic etta james bays who's in helsinki of course we seem to wait on every word the president trying to pass to say james loose lips are his forte but what's more interesting is what he failed to suggest that he would talk about behind closed doors. yes absolutely those opening remarks both were able to set out their story of what they felt was important cheering this summit because there is no formal agenda for the summit president trump has said he wants a loose meeting either side can bring up what they want but clearly you can put a little pressure at the start of you only go see a sions if you raise your concerns in public and president putin said there were painful differences you heard there talking about syria that was followed by president trump who then congratulated president putin on the world cup jokes about soccer a much lighter mood coming from the u.s. president i think trying to generate some warmth between the two but president
4:04 pm
putin looks somewhat glumly on. as president trump said these things president trump then went into what he thought were the important issues and as you say even though it's top of the spotlight back home in the u.s. following that indictment of those twelve russian agents that key issue of russia's interference which the whole administration and all the key figures have mentioned apart from president trump who seems to be batted away time and says it's president obama's fault that issue was not raised by the u.s. president neither were the other issues that you can be really critical of russia and vladimir putin on of course ukraine going all capacious of crimea the ongoing destabilization of eastern ukraine and the deeply controversial role in this seven year old more than seven year long war now in syria the one thing that the president always likes to do or at least trying to do is get
4:05 pm
a deal and by mentioning the nuclear arsenal that both really want to reduce technically isn't making a deal here a step too far too soon. well certainly it is something the. the obama administration wanted to do to get a deal with putin's russia and so does putin's russia on keeping going this treaty called new start that expires in twenty twelve i have to say that president trump has made some negative comments about that treaty saying that he believes in its current terms it's biased towards the russians he also though in the past has said he may expand u.s. the u.s. nuclear arsenal he wasn't saying that again when he spoke in the last couple of hours that nuclear weapons were a bad thing there's a separate treaty there's also controversial about shortening to mediate range missiles that was put in place way back with reagan and gorbachev that the russians
4:06 pm
actually don't want don't like very much of suggested pulling out of that so quite complex issues these arms control issues and we know that president putin has been more string them as the president and prime minister of various points of russia throughout the last eighteen years of course these are things that president trump has come to relatively recently of course so we'll see what they have to say about this later in the day at a joint press conference for the moment james thank you. will stay on message hundreds of activists are out on the streets in the finnish capital protesting against both trump and putin their anger is over many of trump policies immigration to press freedom to climate change the russian president is under fire for alleged human rights abuses and all forward tarion ism that he barbara is our correspondent on the other side of the capitol you heard what james had to say and certainly people there are not really welcoming either of these two heads of state.
4:07 pm
that's right so at least not in terms of the protesters they've been on the streets on sunday and now on monday various themes picked up there was a march through the city earlier on they were talking about as you said human rights issues like immigration like the freedom of the price. as well as climate change but one main theme that people are very worked up or about women's rights and the demonstration behind me is just one of those i'm joined now by mari tikkun and head of the group behind the protests what on earth are these to pregnant trumps all about we are here to protest the global gag rule which is a presidential order that trumps instated that cuts funding to health organizations that provide critical services for women and children in low income countries and the effects are devastating we know that twenty six million women will go without contraceptives twenty thousand women will die giving birth and we wanted to. raise awareness about this the impact of these more on what basis of
4:08 pm
funding being tonight. well organization have to sign on that they will not mention even the word abortion in any of their services or information and it's the gagging the gag rule comes from that indeed that medical professionals are gagged they're not able to provide the services that they they should be able to and some protesters have also told us that they think similar things are going to be happening in the near future in the u.s. yes the gag rule is coming to america and we wanted to also raise an alarm about that. trump pen said ministration has passed over a thousand bills that curtail women's health and rights so this is a domestic issue this is an international issue and something that we should all be concerned about thank you very much for your time well the president will be heading back home in the next few hours but wherever he's gone there have been sizeable protests and they feel that they have got their message through that president trump does know that there is opposition to many of his policies because
4:09 pm
we'll come back to you through the day as our situation changes for the moment nadeem thank you let's cross over to london now where our senior political analyst here at al-jazeera joins me and marwan. good to have you with of course on the program again a summit with no agenda no real documents to be signed no new resolutions to be made so we're told so why have it anyway. because it takes of course a lot of preparations and it takes a certain understanding about the goals of a summit but this summit was decided to weeks ago only if you remember john bolton the national security advisor went to moscow met with putin and the day after or even that same night it was announced that the beer summit two weeks later you get if you needed a real serious agreements on the likes of arms control or any serious you know big understanding of sort between the two world most. nuclear powers then you need
4:10 pm
a lot of preparations now if anyone expects that there would be a great bargain between moscow and washington over world affairs over the future of nuclear proliferation or nato or balance of power or the world economy of course none of that's going to happen and if anyone expects putin on trying to be sitting over maps to delineate their spheres of influence. as it was during the cold war again they would be disappointed we will see none of those big things happening in this summit and of course what was really interesting about president trump and in fact president putin's initial statements very guarded statements in front of the press corps with the things that they didn't mention and as james our political editor is not mentioned crimea election meddling syria even looted to syria just now that sort of the elephants in the room are they not that we're all couldn't be discussed in public for the moment. absolutely and i think
4:11 pm
sort of president trump made it clear that he wasn't going to play perry mason and for those around the world who don't remember very mason is he's sort of a lawyer a prosecutor of sorts where he would be questioning the president president putin about those sorts of things so you know president. trump wants to get along as he says with president putin and i don't think he wants to embarrass him with those sorts of statements even though they would ring hollow anyway because as we all know it was president trump or asked president putin to interfere in the american elections when he said why didn't you hack. hillary clinton's e-mails back then using the campaign and of course one of the interesting focus of conversation that we will have is influence of iran both sit on either side of the fence when it comes to dealing with iran of course the u.s. has just pulled out of the nuclear agreement russia is one of the strongest
4:12 pm
supporters of tehran and that will be an interesting conversation to see what comes out of the way they want to deal with iran in the coming days absolutely and here look just to connect back to your previous questions and to your and this question i think it's easy sometimes even lazy to focus only on what is said or not said because president trump proved to be able to say anything and its opposite and because he tends to be a provocateur i think what's also important and i think what he says is important but what is also important and indispensable is to look at what is happening or to look at the balance of power or to look at what goes on throughout the week or the month or the year when they are not speaking to one another and i think here the questions of iran and ukraine will feature big and i think they cannot be separated at least in the minds of president putin. if president trump wants anything from
4:13 pm
russia or iran he's going to have to give in to russia in ukraine meaning there have to be some sort of recognition of russian and accession of crimea and russia's influence in ukraine that's not going to happen because already congress made clear and made sure into law that president through the president would not be able to do that hence it's going to be very difficult to see why president putin will give in on questions of iran let alone if you're on would accept any russian diktats when it comes to its role in syria its role in the gulf or where it comes to nuclear proliferation and whether it will revisit that nuclear deal hence on the one hand you would see that president will not be able to convince president putin to take his side on iran president putin will not be able to convince president thump to take his own side on iran meaning russia being an ally of sort with iran and syria and other places and i think a third possible scenario would be for them to have some sort of an understanding
4:14 pm
that while at this point in time they cannot agree on some kind of a barter between iran and ukraine that they may be with it will be able to do it in the future interesting of course and we're expecting a press conference within the next one and just before you can tell of years you've also written an opinion piece for our web site at al-jazeera dot com it struck putin of the elephants in the room but it's an interesting read well bashara senior political analyst thank you. and there here's the rest of the day's news of course we'll be speaking to nicaraguans risking their lives to take a stand against their government. also testimony to freedom in myanmar has two journalists who reported on the bring a crisis go on trial plus. i mean richardson of moscow is a finding out about one of the unexpected consequences of this football world cup.

london paris later. that's right some of the show's news a paris is most famous avenue was of course a sea of red white and blue last night it was a party scene here for all the one who woke up and became world champions but that is being replicated again and i'm sure you can see behind me again thousands of people on this street in the world their colors red white and blue and i've been speaking to fans of why they came here of course to try and see the team we're going to be traveling down this avenue in an open top bus but some people came from as far as the other end of the countries south of france the west of france i spoke to one so i spoke to fans who said that they had policy all night in their town mistrustful in the east of frogs them headed straight to the train station got on a train and came here they said they just needed to be here to soak up the atmosphere i also spoke to one father and his son and the father had actually been in the start to fall stadium back in one thousand nine hundred eight the last time

4:20 pm
a little while. the croatian national teams play. like him. from moscow. to. the central square and the crowd just absolutely. sick of the military. school it's. the runway you can see in the big screen over to. the military parade ready to receive them as if they were somehow war heroes and really that's how i think the way to the way she makes you see. such fantastic well. to give it a good account of themselves to bubble to a little croatian. t.v. pool so i will get more reaction from you. later in the day.
4:21 pm
and of course the countdown is on the full the twenty twenty two qatar world cup which will be the first time the tournament has played in the middle east cottle's a mere says he hopes it'll bring a divided region back together that's rhetorical can be reports from the capital. on big screens across cattles capital the message is clear despite the political differences between cattle and some of its neighbors in the region the twenty twenty two world cup aims to be a source of pride for all arabs. who will try to make it an excellent well top because this event is very important for the whole region as you know in many arab countries face difficulties the well cup will help us overcome them. cattle will host the first world cup in the middle east the qatari citizens and the many ex-pat troops who live here there's a genuine sense of excitement it's said to be amazing. amazing eleven forcing the way to meet the first world cup ever soviet. why way we had to rig
4:22 pm
the forty s. . it's a don't miss in one ear and on the six other stick the stuff. there of course screens like this one are a reminder that caps off a single cup is not without major challenges the gulf nation has faced the land and evan ok for more than a year now after saudi arabia the u.a.e. brain in egypt thought that the magic relations last. shot official here in this that had little impact on preparations for the big. cattle has hosted big sporting events before including the asian games in two thousand and six and it will put on the world athletics championships next year officials say the building or the necessary stadiums roads and facilities to host a successful world cup and the hope is that sports will transcend politics and help
4:23 pm
unify a divided region victoria gate and be al-jazeera doha. has been to see how those preparations are going. it may not look that impressive but this piece of concrete is the spots where the cats are twenty twenty two world cup will kick off it can also be seen as symbolic of this country's solid determination to make this tournament a success as it enters the second year blockade imposed on it by its gulf neighbors initially that prevented some construction material from getting into cattle but organizers now say that all eight stadiums are on schedule with all of them ready to years before the world cup kicks off frankly speaking it hasn't affected construction on the site there were materials originally sourced from people came in countries however those are not the only sources of material in the world there are plenty of other alternatives and we quickly diverted our sourcing to other
4:24 pm
places the world and other shipping routes things are back on track instantly so the factory. let's say will stadium maybe here will host the opening game and the final and when it's finished in around two years' time it will seat around eighty thousand spectators now with the tournament being moved to december it also means those fans will avoid the kind of summer heat that we're experiencing today as part of its winning bid council promised to take apart many of the stadiums so at the end of the world cup and send sections to developing countries to help them grow the game of course that's only part of the legacy cattles leaders and woke up organizes a still hoping football can bring this region closer together football always has a has a way of bringing people together sport in general does look when it comes to the to the point of view of the state of qatar we haven't stopped anybody from entering qatar we are the ones that have taken the decision to cut ties or to blockade
4:25 pm
anybody. all fans are welcome fans from the bloc even countries are welcome i really hope above everything else that people will walk away with a true sense of. our hospitality is middle east and us dollar is unique and goes above and beyond and in all regards and i really hope that people will see that i'm very confident that they will so one the next global festival of football will make history in the arab world it also comes with its own unique set of political goals . and joe joins me now in studio today would you like that look of yours with florescent jacket really really sweet for you. the world cup in four years' time has already created controversy on so many levels the first one is that it could be a winter world cup and that creates problems for football teams and the leagues across the world yeah that's right so cattle didn't bid for a winter world cup but for change the dates because they felt that the heat in the summer months here in june and july would just be too much of
4:26 pm
a risk for play is and for the fans coming in so they moved the dates they made it a winter world cup in the northern hemisphere of course and that's disrupted the leagues especially in europe they're very upset about that because it means that they would have to take winter break now a lot of the european leagues already have winter breaks but they're only between two and four weeks long so not really long enough to to be able to squeeze a world cup in there and the place primarily don't have a break at the moment they will have from two thousand and nineteen two thousand and twenty they're introducing a break that gives the teams thirteen days but i think what we're going to see is that winter break in the english premier league is going to get bigger and bigger just to see if they can squeeze the world cup in that time many people you might say that outside the middle east friends of mine that never visited here often say you know why world cup in the middle east you just got sand and camels and we are the stereotypical image you have of the middle east qatar has been for the world cup it's one it's called the olympics twice and failed why despite matter so much to this country well it's an interesting question is certainly
4:27 pm
a view that i've encountered as well in my travels as a journalist based in qatar. you know council does host sports events already it's help to help the asian games there. heists tennis tennis tournaments and all tournament the thing is when you bid for something like the olympics or even when you're hosting the world cup you're announcing your country until world stage you know you're opening yourself up to two other possibilities your conversations with other countries that you're not just a small oil producing country but you have ambition and you have imagination and you want to grow your country in those ways so i think sport is a really important talk in that respect in that kind of a diplomatic tool as well dressing to see how it progresses over the next four years and hopefully will be here to see all the way through hopefully i should thank so much to. still ahead here on the al-jazeera news are the threats of demolition looms over a school in occupied west bank. and malaysia's a major change one thousand new faces enter parliament after a shock election victory earlier this year. and it's

a coalition against him that's because many european business executives here also share trump's concerns about doing business in china china's leaders have promised to further open their economy to foreign investors the message from the e.u. officials on monday we hope you mean it this time china has made strong pleas to keep markets open and fight protectionism this is reassuring to the e.u. and its business community however we would like to see these encouraging words translated into more concrete action from china to further open up investment even before the trade war began ten days ago china's economy was starting to slow a monday figures showed the growth fell slightly from six point eight to six point seven percent in the last quarter factory output was at its lowest in two years most of what these factories produce are for export which for now underpins china's economy but a protracted trade war could slow growth by much more adrian brown al-jazeera

4:37 pm
a shortage of essential supplies months after the island was hit by science and reconstruction hasn't kept pace with the demands the military standoff between the u.s. and yemen's government has also slowed things down some of it has more. the board was damaged and the boat sank months ago when cycling macoun hit this region but not much has changed in the yemeni archipelago of the katra the un says sixty thousand people were affected by the cycle in may when yemen's government declared a state of emergency. we have shortages mostly of food supplies including flour sugar and oils these food items used to arrive aboard ships the ships used to carry food supplies to oman and sick otra five of the ships loaded with food supplies to culture were destroyed during the storm. it's called the most alien looking place on earth but it's rare sick after dragon trees are likely to be chopped down to be used for fuel people here rely on food imports and demand is expected to get bigger

during the monsoon season that usually lasts for months. due to the storm and low tide water level dropped three to four meters as a result larger vessels cannot call it the port terminal vessels are transferred to another destination to offload but slow progress is because of the conflict between yemen's government and the united arab emirates over the presence of iraqi troops on the island the u.a.e. insists its role into carter is humanitarian but the local authority sees the u.s. as an occupying force and iraqi forces have agreed to leave but there's no clear plan on who will replace them the u.a.e. had promised to build housing for the families affected by another cycle on back in two thousand and fifteen that's still under construction. and we should listen when you get no one knows why the project has not been completed we are obvious citizens attending to our cattle or fishing in our daily bread maybe the government officials know the reason or only god knows. this was supposed to be part of the

u.s. campaign to win hearts and minds of the people of chicago but people preferred to stay in what they say the newly built houses weren't built properly. these are difficult conditions severe heat extreme called if we picked off life is very hard to grow trees location means it's likely to be hit by more harsh weather and we will hope that those in power who fight to get control can deliver on their promises of a better life some of the job there was talk of the weather in his stuff despite the pouring rain of a world cup final in moscow last sort of doesn't seem to reflect what's going on in europe and certainly in moscow today scandinavia is glorious it is incredibly warm in fact if you look at the temperature chart we can see the orange colors up there it is very very hot for some of us the temperatures are over thirty degrees some parts of sweden seeing temperatures over thirty two and this is what it looks like in helsinki at the moment blue skies and really very very warm just to the south of
4:40 pm
that though we do have a little area of low pressure that's keeping things a little bit cooler over parts of poland beller roots there and that's what gave us already in moscow so there's that area of cloud egg that gave us all our wet weather in moscow that we saw and that's all stretching down through poland but also watch the this system here because this one is going to cause a few problems over the next twelve hours or so already has given us some heavy rain over parts of spain and into the southern parts of france and now it's just tracking its way towards the east and as it does so it's going to continue to intensify this is going to give us some damaging hail some damaging gusts of wind and a lot of heavy rain as well some places could see around one hundred millimeters of rain from this system so there is likely to be some flash flooding in the northern parts of italy and across into croatia and three near as well so a lot of heavy rain there and then that gradually edges its way eastwards on choose day so heavy downpours have not quite as bad as those that were expecting during the night there is overnight we were expecting the worst of the weather and then
4:41 pm
some storms still to come so we had through tuesday wednesday so. thanks very much stuff while a community school in the occupied west bank is opening early for the new academic year as it faces the threat of israeli demolition the palestinian bedouin village of carla was due to be bulldozed to expand an illegal israeli settlement for the demolition is blocked by an injunction from israel supreme court stephanie decker has more from the school. their summer holidays been cut short but none of these children seem too bothered they all know why they are here. so that we have people inside the school so the israelis won't demolish it. a sally lives a ten minute walk away over the mountain this school doesn't only serve her but it's the only school in the area for these bedouin children but they have the most we want to demolish the whole community and transferred us and take the land the israeli supreme court will set a day to respond to an appeal to stop the demolition by the fifteenth of august and
4:42 pm
as of today with the clearing of the opening of the next scholastic year which should have started on the first of september but rather today on the sixteenth of july we decided to launch its will to proceed any attempt on the part of the occupation forces to knock down the school it's not just the school which is our pre-destination but this entire village looks like a small basic and unimportant bedouin community that when it comes to this conflict it is all about land and who has access to palestinians tell you what is happening here is indicative of a wider israeli policy to push palestinians off this land and replace them with israeli settlers we need oh man an israeli student he's come from tel aviv to see for himself what is happening here i mean it's an obvious strategy to try to push. communities into cities and expand the settlements around here and basically clear
4:43 pm
