a political label that used to be considered toxic. and it is. in. the weather sponsored by katter. you have a heat wave in japan shows no signs of abating very quickly it's that it's hottest in the middle of honshu you know these temperatures are roughly five or six degrees above average not court record breakers except in one go which appears to be equal in the all time july record us is sunday monday tuesday i'll take you through this very little difference except maybe sendai and nagasaki so the ages ago in the cool but in the middle was to talk is thirty eight and thirty nine now that is japan the story of a bit further west really china is one of multiple tropical storms depressions storms even briefly typhoons it doesn't maybe look very much but look at the scale
7:16 pm
of what we're looking at this is all of china and these are huge masses of clouds so it's identify the first of all we've got the remains insulting remember went into vietnam north of laos it as a tropical storm called if this one disappears that's come back on the radar and it's maybe winding up into another tropical storm and then this one not far away from taiwan itself which could turn into something and head up toward shanghai which is just seen tropical storm or wrong through now three at least in the area the amount of rain that fell from some time when it's over the overland four hundred sixty millimeters also it will be in southwest china in the next few days with us what it did in vietnam. the weather. when diplomacy fields and fierce we in our borders are wide open wide open to drugs terrorists we've proven the barriers are built to impose division to sixty's
7:17 pm
instead of being an obstacle. it became an obstacle to peace in a four part series revisits the reasons for divisions in different parts of the world and the impact they have on both sides walls of shame. one of the really special things about working for others here 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 would be. liberally particularly because you have a lot of people that are deployed their own political issues we are we the people we live to tell the real stories just mended to do you work in-depth journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe.
7:18 pm
welcome back you're watching out of time to recap headlines some white helmets rescuers have been moved out of syria southwest at the request of the u.n. the united nations says it will resettle about eight hundred of the volunteers and their families and western countries a group that rescues migrants from the mediterranean plans to file a complaint against. a woman or child being. deliberately damage more than a thousand jewish settlers have entered the compound occupied east jerusalem trick . during a standoff with muslim worshippers marking the holiday which commemorates the destruction of the ancient jewish temples in jerusalem there have been small confrontations in the last few hours leading to several arrests. for more on this
7:19 pm
let's bring in mohammed julie's live for us now in west jerusalem so what's the situation like now in the compound hundred. well let me first i should tell you that we've reached out to israeli police and they have not yet confirmed the number of arrests have taken place over the past few hours but i should add some context here of course you know jewish settlers are allowed to go into the compound twice daily between sunday and thursday through the hours of seven am eleven am local and also between one thirty pm and two thirty pm local now we're just now past one thirty pm local so the concern at this hour is will these tensions that have been escalating the last several hours continue of course there were these thousand jewish settlers that had entered the mosque compound between the hours of seven thirty am and eleven thirty am right now we're told that there are many jewish settlers that are outside several of the gates outside of the
7:20 pm
mosque compound that they are praying there that many of them would like to get into the mosque compound of course palestinian muslim worshippers consider this always to be a provocation so it is nothing new that there are these flare ups that happen in that area but on a day like today this is a holiday that commemorates many disasters throughout jewish history you are going to see more settlers that want to access the compound that's why there was such a large number of them this morning and that's why there still is a large contingent of them in the area that are trying to get in the compound so at this point it's really a wait and see we're going to have to see how it develops the next several hours of course it has been a very tense period these last several months here and on a day like today it really just highlights how any little thing can really lead to bigger conflagrations the hope at this hour is that things will calm down but there is a lot of concern that things might get worse the clashes might get worse these these pushing and shoving incidents these provocations that they could lead to something
7:21 pm
bigger so we'll be monitoring that letting you know in the hours ahead semi i'm a position to gather the western wall to pray why do we see groups of settlers trying to actually go into the mosque compound. it's considered a holy site for them just as it's considered a holy site for muslim worshippers it's nothing new to me that they try to access that area they are allowed access twice a day when they are accompanied by israeli security forces but as i mentioned palestinian muslim worshippers especially there they consider this to be a provocation there are groups that consider this to be a type of raid and they use that kind of language when jewish settlers try to access the compound so whether it's small numbers whether it's big numbers on a day like today because it is a holiday that is commemorating disasters throughout jewish history you are going to see a larger number of jewish settlers that want to get in there but the fact of the matter is that these these muslim worshippers that are there many of them will always see this kind of activity as
7:22 pm
a provocation and will react and show their displeasure when those jewish settlers are trying to get into the compound thanks so much mohammed. the head of the international monetary fund and finance ministers from the g twenty are in argentina and that's brought thousands out of the streets half a of the government's decision to take a fifty billion dollars loan from the i.m.f. from want to reports. left wing groups gathered to protest against the international monetary fund in one aside is on saturday. last month the i.m.f. stepped in to shore up the argentinean economy with a fifty billion loan agreement but people like the boy believe it won't help improve people's lives. we already had the i.m.f. and a crisis we know what happened in greece they will fire state employees they will reduce salaries and take away workers right what is today want. argentina's economy
7:23 pm
has been struggling in recent months due to a drop in investor confidence in emerging economies their currency lost over forty percent of its value and inflation has continued to rise this people are protesting just a few blocks away from where the g twenty finance ministers and central bank governors are meeting by they were prevented from getting closer by security forces this people that you can see here. christine lagarde director of the i.m.f. . will be here they met fifty years that the austerity measures implemented by the government. will generate more poverty and unemployment but christine legarde who came to attend the g. twenty summit showed strong support with what is trying to do there has been significant progress in terms of monetary policy as well where clearly the measures that have been taken by the bank of restored and managed
7:24 pm
a much better situation with less volatility more transparency. tests because of policy suggested by the i.m.f. are not unique to argentina there has been strong opposition in countries like jordan and haiti international n.g.o.s like oxfam and others have suggested that the i.m.f. should rethink its standard recipes that take away power from labor unions do not help lower unemployment and demand action of government spending which leads in most cases to an increase in poverty levels since you forego seats in the i me the essence of the i.m.f. is the same it is to prioritize the physical deficit protons will sterrett images it's the same old i.m.f. with a change in discourse look at what's happening in other parts of the world like jordan and haiti and that's why many here are distrustful of the current government's economic policies because they believe it will only deteriorate the lives of those
7:25 pm
who need government help the most. not the topic short to take place at the g twenty and want to solve this is the pending trade war between the u.s. and china to talk about that is fully playground he's a political economist and former special advisor to the director general of the w t o joins us now live from london good to have you with us so how much concern is there in the g twenty now world full on trade war between the u.s. and china. i think there's much broader concern about because donald trump seems intent on a trade war with everybody rember there is still without him you don't have or it's had a wide range of countries he's proposing further tariffs on cars as well as hitting out at china he wants to hit out in you and others so if there's one thing that unites and otherwise disparate g twenty it's hostility to transactions on
7:26 pm
trade so don't trump walks into a quite isolated position in this g twenty meeting. then right. well i mean his treasury secretary steve mccain has come out with a new proposal for a free trade area in the g seven countries repeating the offer made by dollar trump in canada so in a sense he's playing good cop bad cop i don't think that you can take that proposal seriously though you remember the dollar from after making that proposal then lashed out at his hosts and other members of the g seven and likewise any countries who might be tempted by that offer now are not going to be willing to make concessions to someone who is as volatile as overtly protectionist as donald trump is. it's interesting you mention the frozen given your analysis then one has to
7:27 pm
wonder is there any escaping this sort of collision course that the us seems to be on with other major trading partners. well i mean you can see sometimes at all from reverses course into batiks fashion so he almost closed down a chinese mobile phone company chords and then under pressure from china's chief xi jinping he reversed course and so he can be bought off with flattery and so on in other cases he reversed course having made a big splash so it's all about the media t.v. soundbite with no. with no follow through and you can see that for example with north korea where a threat of nuclear war then he says he's struck a big deal with kim and actually there's been no follow through from that but i think at the moment the dynamic in global trade is very dangerous it's kind of tit for tat escalation donald trump clearly has long standing views that america is
7:28 pm
hard done by and he thinks trade deficits are bad that all production should take place in the united states and he seems intent on taking ever more. aggressive measures to achieve those items what does that sort of trading dynamic mean for the rest of the world especially for emerging economies. well you know there is given the huge economic political and military might of the united states. there will be a temptation for smaller countries to bow to america's demands at the same time given that donald trump seems intent on asking for ever more there'll be on the other hand a political asset the city to stand up to him so you see the south koreans for example struck a special deal with the united states it hasn't meant that they've escaped trump and for larger countries such as china where he seems intent on actually blocking
7:29 pm
china's industrial development clearly not standing up to trump is not an option. thanks so much for your analysis. philippine president there are good there you go the territory is expected to sign a new law that could end the forty year war for independence it would give the muslim minority on the island of mindanao their own regional government mindanao is home to the moro islamic liberation front the conflict killed more than one hundred thousand people jem'hadar and dog on reports from the group space in court about all. my do was point blind says playing the palin dad is an escape from the violence of deal life although when. he fled the village of my message plagued by fighting between groups is my e-mail list one of the millions of moral muslims who remain hopeful they will be able to return to their
7:30 pm
birth place. more islamic liberation front commander got exactly the views that may have been sued for him to the rebel who's been fine. ating philippine government forces for more than thirty years says he is finally ready to lay down his weapons . sweep of the chance to live in peace in our own bangsamoro homeland most of the filipinos never saw us as one of them and in their eyes we are enemies our parents didn't have a choice we didn't have a choice but to fight back these fighters see the fear a repeat of atrocities committed against their people. except that this is more than just a job that we talk it is a struggle it may take a lifetime but we are ready for. the m.i.l.f. is the largest armed group in southeast asia that has been fighting for greater autonomy for more than forty years at least one hundred thousand filipinos died in
7:31 pm
the rebellion and millions lost their homes after many rounds of peace talks with previous administrations both sides finally reached an agreement that congress in manila has approved a lasting peace is finally a possibility the bangsamoro basic law will establish a more substantially upon the most territory for the predominantly muslim moro people they will have their own government their own parliament and the justice system incorporating islamic law the regional government will get seventy five percent of the territories revenue and five percent of the annual revenue of the philippines however government leaders in manila will retain control over the territories police and armed forces and rebel forces will gradually be decommissioned to reduce the risk of further rebellions. implementation of the peace agreement is the most critical part disbanding and compensating more than
7:32 pm
thirty thousand fighters is expected to be complicated in the region rife with. previous peace agreement. with the other rebel groups here have failed resulting in the permission of splinter groups and even more violence the previous failures are cause for the m.i.l.f. fighters to be weary a referendum and then you lost due to be held before the end of the year. many here are cautiously optimistic that peace is finally arrived. in al-jazeera about the city said. a left leaning faction of the democratic party in the us has been gaining momentum in recent months they call themselves the democratic socialists the most prominent among them is senator bernie sanders he's an independent but considers himself a social democrat making him the only one in congress alexandra cortez is the
7:33 pm
rising star of the democratic socialists last month a congressional candidate pulled off a stunning victory against a prominent white house democrat in new york and all forty two people running for office is federal state and local levels have the formal endorsement of the democratic socialists of america. democratic socialists who's a member of hawaii's state legislator he's also running for a seat in the u.s. congress he's why he believes the moment will gain the movement rather will gain traction especially among young americans. for my generation i think the stakes are really high you know it used to be the case that you can get get ice for college and homeownership is great eight hundred thousand dollars for an average. year so just the basic. american dream is out of reach. this personally.
