five or thirty percent that would make imports more expensive and that would hurt but we would also get the benefit of increased exports not just to china but to every other country where we compete with china and so we're getting all of the pain but none of the gain and that's the problem. so has hair on al-jazeera. from satirical videos on social media to street rallies frustration in iran of a poor social services and a west wing economy. and just two months out from brazil's election we look at a country divided over who should be the next president.

leadership to ship transfers of petroleum destined for north korea we have seen reports that russia is allowing for joint ventures with north korean firms and granting new work permits to north korean guest workers if these reports prove accurate and we have every reason to believe that they are that would be in variation of u.n. security council resolution twenty three seventy five the us government and advocacy groups don't appear to have a clear plan on how to reunite migrant families separated under the trumpet ministrations zero tolerance immigration policy around four hundred parents have already been sent back to their home countries without their children court documents appear to show the government is shifting the responsibility of reuniting the families on fear american civil liberties union mike hanna has more from washington d.c. . the federal judge was essential to hearing a report back from the justice department the trumpet ministration as well as the

american civil liberties union on the progress made in reuniting hundreds of children with their parents now what the judge heard is that the administration so far as succeeded in locating the parents of only thirteen of the children nearly six hundred children remain in custody in the united states and in the court papers the administration contended that it was up to the a.c.l.u. to leave the process in terms of reuniting the children with their parents this outrage the judge he described this as completely unacceptable insisting that it was the trumpet ministrations actions that led to the separation in the first place and therefore it is the trumpet ministrations duty to ensure that the reunification does take place now all of this against a backdrop that the judge originally set a deadline of july the twenty sixth for the reunification of all to happen this

clearly not happening the judge very very critical of the trumpet ministration he has now given another week for the administration to come up with a clear coherent plan for the reunification of all the children with all the parents protests in iran a growing over poor social services and a west wing economy that is being said on social media of demonstrations in small towns and more recently in the largest cities including the capital tehran they must have a reports. protesters in iran have been chanting against the religious and political elite but for these men and women what they say is the government's mishandling of the economy is their main grievance. this an identified woman remove her headscarf and increasingly common way for iranian women to protest and began addressing others. let's build our country with our own hands people do not be afraid if we stand together and united neither internal or external powers can

confront us we are a rainy and it is not our business what is happening in palestine syria iraq or lebanon why should all our resources go to them social media messages suggest she was arrested. not every media is angry some are trying to keep their sense of humor about their financial circumstances posted a video to show how it feels when your money disappears right before your eyes. even the cleric seemed to be showing some compassion delivering this week's friday sermon preacher said the economy is affecting everything and fixing it is the key to happiness for everyone he blamed government mismanagement and high level corruption for iran's economic troubles that i had said mattie corruption that seriously when it comes to fighting violators there should be no exceptions regardless of their relatives or their contacts these traitors must be that this.

many iranians see the government of president hassan rouhani as being out of touch with them protests aren't expected to topple anyone anytime soon the demonstrations are regarded as being too small and the government as well as security forces too strong. but people say they're losing faith in their leaders. in my opinion people should rise up because this government won't be fixed will just get poorer if more efficient people take jobs in government it would. everybody is after their own interests. and. those people have the right to protest economic and social issues are all connected and people are really under pressure how much more can they tolerate it arising in that if protests result in a government action and have a positive impact on people's life why not i would part speak both this are not something that we should not look at it from a mystic perspective but. protesting doesn't work many are just pushing people to

move forward but they themselves don't come out the latest protest come days before the next round of american sanctions are due to be imposed on iran the cleric addressing worshippers at friday prayers this week took the opportunity to take a swipe at the american president donald trump is not human he said he's a wolf disguised as you well trump may have alienated america's allies by pulling out of the twenty fifty nuclear deal if his goal was to hurt iran then from what people here are saying he's managed to hit just hard. to human rights groups are accusing the syrian government of faking the cause of death of thousands of prisoners the syrian foundation's platform and human rights and justice movement have been presenting their findings in. the past week the syrian government has released information on eight thousand prisoners they say died because of heart attacks cancer or other health reasons that groups are condemning
