trial on terror charges over alleged links to the failed coup two years ago. has the latest from istanbul the government's decision to increase tariffs on the u.s. products is welcomed by the turkish media and welcomed by the turkish citizens when you look at the new science and the and the social media because there is a positive response and the support for the government through television against the u.s. a united states increasing. for the turkish products of course this is mainly a psychological impact where the economists say that healthful finance the psychology and since the governments began taking some measures again through the central bank and through the finance ministry and the turkish lira began gaining value against the american dollar and other other currencies as wall and besides present are don't call for a boy called for american products and today's tariff the station is encourage ford's turkish people in a psychological way they think that they have something in their head to response

against the u.s. threats but of course on the other hand some economists say that would not the mean that would not mean much because the amount of the tariffs would not be any means to hurt the american economy. so i have for you on the program the family of a u.s. journalist abducted in syria six years ago calls for his safe release. under some a single hottie in the northeast of india this country's prime minister has just announced what will be the world's lol just publicly funded health service but i'll be looking at whether this country's health infrastructure will be able to cope. well again there are still some pretty big and slow moving thunderstorms over italy of the adriatic in a circulation which is pretty clear from the satellite picture which is drifting

towards the croatian coastal the bottom end of this cold front has dropped temperatures to some degree in northern europe the heat wave has gone so we're getting the change in terms choose goes down then back up again but the real he's been pushed well way over to the far east so you're still in the south it's still there in spain and portugal as well and in fact temps in paris are on the way up again so overnight then whilst you've got these showers wondering around heading towards greece is still back on the adriatic coast and southern italy the front itself is aged a bit further eastwards and the next one is coming in twenty degrees in london in the rain by look at it twenty one by friday and twenty three in paris so it is a cool trend the green blobs suggest more heavy showers around the outside this time they still wandering around the adriatic you notice and that's the remains of other old front so the end of summer might be arguably in sight at least for northern europe but that would be pessimistic anyway if you come this side of the mediterranean is pretty hot the slow circulation means the woman is coming out of

the middle of libya and heading northwards only thirty one on the coast in tunisia but still warm enough. in this new delhi swirl artistic expression has thrived for generations. now real estate developers want to go home. tomorrow we disappear we're close documentary on al jazeera.

america a quick reminder of the top stories now forty eight people have been killed and dozens more wounded in a suicide bombing in the afghan capital kabul many of the victims were students at a study center a sneeze government has declared a state of emergency in or didn't review into the state of the country's infrastructure. it comes after a bridge collapse in general on tuesday killing at least thirty eight people and cats are saying it will invest fifteen billion dollars into turkey to help boost the country's struggling economy the emir of qatar made the announcement during a meeting with president bush of type in korea. now israel has reopened the only commercial crossing into gaza after a month long shutdown the abu salim crossing was closed because of heightened tension between israelis and palestinians lorries carrying clothes fuel and construction material can now and israel has also lifted restrictions on the

fishing zone off the gaza shoal charles traffic reports. trucks have started arriving here at gaza's only commercial crossing with israel they stop for example will fill up with goods across the border before returning gaza we understand around eight hundred trucks are expected to pass the border today now we understand that a lot of pressure came on israel as well from israeli businesses that contract out goals of the workers inside gaza are in for example the textile industry that kind of pressure being put on the israeli government because those businesses were concerned that those goods were not coming out we understand that the exports of goods from gaza could well starts tomorrow but of course this kind of movement at the crossings here this crossing being opened is all dependent on staying open his old dependent on the relative calm between hamas and israel continuing. goods

coming in including construction materials petrol gas and vegetables and clothing but i learned sort go out all over europe with where the stores were closed transport was stopped people have been really suffering thank god things have calmed down now in gaza a bit on the trucks can start moving across the border again but i figure we're going to. israel has also increased the area in which fishermen can work could see from three to six in a school miles off the northern half of gaza and from three to nine nautical miles in the south. it's not enough we need to see to be completely six and nine or tickle miles is not enough there is just left in the sea we need israel to increases according to international seaboard. so as you heard there the gaza fishermen saying these easing of restrictions on the area in which they can operate

and nowhere near enough they say they literally are the stocks of fish in this area any more bear in mind around fifty thousand families. here in gaza rely on the fishing industry in some way the israeli navy have killed thirteen fishermen since the blockade started almost twelve years ago meanwhile those negotiations in cairo continue the hamas delegation over there along with delegations from the other factions from gaza in a desperate bid to try and forge some last truce between hamas and israel the family of a u.s. journalist kidnapped in syria six years ago is calling for his safe release austin tice is believed to be one of at least thirty journalists covering the conflict being held in the country against their will mike hanna reports from washington and so you see this this aliment of hope in his early photos right and then he begins to come across things like this

a mother talks about the work of her some these pictures were taken by freelance journalist austin tice shortly before he was abducted by armed men at a road block near damascus six years ago and it was austin's deepest desire that they could have reform without any of these photos ever being taken and so i just want you to join him behind the camera and waited to get a feeling for his heart of why computer why did austin go there he chats to wanted to tell the story that was so young when he arrived. the f.b.i. has posted a one billion dollar reward for information leading to the safe location recovery and return of austin tice renewing hopes that he's still alive it's believed that more than thirty abducted journalists are being held in syria but the exact figure is impossible to ascertain in many cases the abduction is not publicized pending

negotiations for release what is known is that the kidnapped journalists come from a number of countries among them france spain lebannon mauritania jordan and the united states. when the most dangerous countries for journalists in the world and so at that events like these that reason we miss on the situation in that country in the journalistic western lives to cover that conflict for the american public for the international community is well that's really of vital importance and in this room be a windows two there are many other fathers and mothers in syria and beyond still hoping for the safe return of their loved ones. michaela al-jazeera washington. india's prime minister has announced a new government run health care service the largest such scheme in the world around remote he says it will cover around half a billion poor people but as andrew thomas reports from guwahati era concerns the

move might stretch existing facilities. india's prime minister narendra modi doesn't call it modi care but everybody else does his ambitious national health protection scheme will be the centerpiece of his reelection campaign. if there is good going to be met the poor of the country will not have to struggle when they fall sick they will not have to borrow from money lenders families will not be destroyed. the scheme is due to start in late september and will become the largest publicly funded health service in the world in effect the government will pay the premiums for health insurance for one hundred million indian families each will get a policy that covers their medical costs up to the equivalent of about seven thousand dollars a year. at the moment only the well off have access to insurance to pay for treatment in a private hospital like this part of the divorce i'm lucky i don't have insurance but i can afford it my husband has a good job we own our own house. the new program will cover the poor half of

india's population for profit hospitals the scheme should see a big boost in business but there is concern they'll be overwhelmed by demand india spends just one point five percent of its g.d.p. on health care compared to a global average of six percent facilities and staffing levels in the health sector of poor but that say doctors is changing a lot of. human resources but i think it ripped into new york for people in europe our health care probably you know we're a personal health sector. some have accused of caring more for his hindu base than for other ethnic groups or india's poorest with health care for rule he's trying to change that image if it's a success it would be a big achievement and littleness al jazeera. closing arguments are under way in the fraud trial involving us president donald transform a campaign manager for man a force is accused of tax evasion and lying to obtain bank loans the charges are

. ok you know in the stream today and by mental special we take a look at why twenty eighteen. and why some cities are actually sinking could be a lot of our lives. and i'll be looking out your comments on your questions before we get to the global heat wave penguins the flightless birds capture the imagination of the child in all of us but they're being severely affected by

climate change. so far as we know scientists have never visited this. before so the group we're with one. of those in the other species living here we have behind me a whole lot of a down. the street. is looking a bit odd because he's losing his business a few months old isn't so. we've got indicators of. temperature measurements recession on the movement of birds to different habitats all of which suggests to us that change is going in

one particular direction the printer is getting warmer the ice is getting less and some of the more sensitive species are having a harder time. those adelie penguins aren't the only ones being affected by climate change a recent study of the world's largest colony of kingpin ones has found that their population declined by eighty eight percent over the last thirty five years from two million to less than two. hundred thousand the flightless birds live on an island halfway between the tip of africa and antarctica now penguins aren't an endangered species yet but what does it mean for their future with so many dying or relocating. and it is joining us she is a doctor and she's in the colleges she's part of the antartica program at pointe blue conservation science and ultimate shela roux is also an ecologist it's good to have you here i'm looking at this at any point blue conservation science penguins losing habitat in antarctica could be decimated by twenty nine hundred nine so

video id that there are some species of penguin that might not be with us in the decades to come what impact might that have on the rest of us. well we all of so it would be a tragedy i think for all of us to envision a world with no penguins or at least many fewer penguins and i think we also think of penguins and sea birds in general as indicators of broader ocean help so if we're losing the penguins it probably means we're also losing other things that are potentially important for humans like fish and crow and that are supporting. things that we depend on economically and for food. and interesting that you said that because this is adam here well i think i would completely agree with you he says sadly we won't notice the impact until they leave

a vacuum no one thought that eradicating the wolf population in the western u.s. would result in land lost near creeks and rivers so that's just one example there but he then writes in to help explain in his view why this is happening he gave a list of reasons here michel he says die offs are a natural occurrence in evolution there could be corporate fishing that's hijacked their food source our oceans are too polluted and our oceans are also too loud for some species with sonar tech causing confusion what do we know michelle about the kingpin whims and what's happened to them well so i think what we're seeing with the king penguins is is really interesting and i want to put it in context for just a second because there's been two important studies i think that have come out just this year so at the beginning of this year there was a study suggesting that the world's population of king penguins is likely to be either relocated or disappeared by up to seventy percent and then just

a few months later a completely different research group. suggested you know is showing basically that on a particular island close a we're seeing the exact you know population decline that was being predicted and so there's multiple things that could be happening here so the first is of course that they're just not surviving the second is that maybe some of them are relocating to different locations but it's really hard to tell because it's hard to get to some of these locations in the subantarctic islands and so i think there's probably very likely a combination of things that's happening here it's probably climate change and you know potentially overfishing potentially pollution i really do think there's probably a combination of factors that are contributing to the declines that we're seeing. i mean when you're looking at you all penguins that you study what are you seeing as far as climate change actually happening right now yeah they call me is that i work

at are some of the furthest south delhi colonies actually they are we have one colony where cut is the furthest south and then the other conny which is a very large chronic cruger in the rossi is one of the largest penguin adelie colonies in the world and it is the furthest south for that the colony of that size and what we're seeing that that in these areas is some mixed signals to be sure but this large colony is doing very well in fact has been growing pretty steadily over the past decade or so. and. so we think that actually is related to could be related to climate change there's a number of other factors also but. one thing that's been happening in the last years we've actually been seen an increase in sea ice in contrast to a lot of the rest of antarctica and that may also be being driven by climate change what i'm hearing from the both of you is very educated versions of we have no idea

we. bought this is backed up in the show by your twitter feed here and you say science takes time and science in antarctica can really take a long time but it's so worth the wait say chain for more info and. project i'm actually also new questions that could be yes' in years and years of study but what you can tell us right now is when you are up close and very close to the penguins what is the appeal of studying these kind of see me shall you stopped. penguins are. very easily my favorite bird and emperor penguins in particular they if i'm going to anthropomorphize are going to put some human qualities to them right now and say that they're they're just very they're serene they're very they embody their name they're very you know king like they're very emperor like and i

mean so being around them is just this very it's just absolutely amazing to be around them and to watch them kind of just do their thing but more broadly looking you know being able to be around them in thinking about how they fit within the ecosystem is fascinating as an ecologist because what i'm interested in is looking at their populations not just one location across the you know the entire continent which is a huge area and so i want to kind of hit back on one of the things we were just talking about their differences in their populations depending on where you are so like a play. like the antarctic peninsula which is seeing a lot of serious decline you are going to see some pretty drastic shifts and changes in the way the penguins are doing you know some populations are doing great some are doing fine but it depends on where you are of course. on twitter we just go down here the state the the beautiful the mysterious and what a great photograph these photographs are actually a lot of them are taken by you and in

a sentence penguins you love them because why finish the sentence. i think and i'm going to go in contrast to michelle my favorite penguins are and earlier than most of the ones i study so i'm not biased at all. there are just incredibly engaging and they have so much attitude and i think there is definitely a little bit of like we feel connected to them because they're very sort of human like they want to feed and they walk with their flippers out and they look like they want to be picked up but you know. thank you so much we're going to leave it there thank you for joining us today on the stream from penguins we move on to some of the world's sinking cities and one of those jakarta indonesia this video is filmed by a mass in japan ski of the sinking cities project take a look. jakarta the second largest urban area in the world could soon find its own on the sea levels rising globally many other calista cities with

a similar trends. so right now we're standing on the north jakarta sea wall. on my right hand side is the java sea and on my left hand side about two metres lower is north jakarta is the land of jakarta and this part of jakarta subsided has sunk so much that if i stand on the other side of the seawall i'm exactly two meters tall and i level with the boats the holes in the boat on the other side. if this civil were to break and it's already leaving us a few spots about forty percent of jakarta would be flooded to a depth of one or two metres it's quite a bit hairy situation the people. in fifteen years eighty percent of jakarta's northern part of the land siegel. jakarta is one of the fastest sinking cities in

the walls and researchers say that if it's left unchecked parts of it could be fully submerged by twenty fifty the sporting megacity it's home to more than ten million people right now it is sinking at an average rate of one point five centimeters a year and it was half of its area sits below sea level so what is making jakarta and other major cities like it sink victor cohen is a project manager of the jakarta coastal defense strategy masterplan and indonesia representative for women being a boss a dutch engineering consultant and jeff goodell is a contributing editor for rolling stone magazine and author of the water will come welcome to the stream gentlemen i want to start with a video comment we got from marston who shot the film you saw just a few minutes earlier this is what he told us about what it's like into cards and now right now the only thing that thanks this is the jakarta from the sea is a very narrow. wall it's about six feet tall. about two feet

wide and it's looking my response. was quite frequently overpowered by the. star see. what's not generous of this is that flooded the victor what's causing jakarta to sink. actually it's over use of ground water and you cut that is basically pumping itself in and into the earth. used to be a city above sea level large parts already two or three make us below sea level and it's going fast you'll set in the introduction to meet us. at which ignored in jakarta seven the ha sent three year seven option to beat this and we have sections where we measure twenty said to be just per year so this is it alarmist rate and

very difficult to keep up with but if insistence jeff and you think looking at cities around the wealth a sinking and studying them is quite close i'm writing an. epic books about them just to white castle up should we be terrified that this is happening. well yeah we should be terrified in a kind of thoughtful way i mean it's first i was really important point out that jakarta sinking is. not typical of the risks that cities face around the world and they have a particularly bad problem of subsidence and other cities like that us have had problems with that also in new orleans and the gulf coast but the real problem for cities around the world the real thing to sort of be thinking about is rising seas because when you have in cities like chicago where they're obviously where they're sinking and you have rush i think sees even worse for cities like miami and new york and london then you know the netherlands many places around the world rising

seas themselves are a significant challenge. so based on that jeff we got this tweet from jose because he tweeted out your article about miami and jose says you don't have to just imagine this visit bangkok to carter or her no way it's a new normal for these and other cities around the world rampant development and more powerful monsoons are making the situation unmanageable so he goes on to tell us how people are adapting he says my impression from southeast asia is how the people have adapted their daily activities primarily shifting the work schedules to avoid rush hour already congested roadways turning from perth parking lots to wading pools when the storms roll in of course that is not that bad yet in miami but do you think people are shifting their thinking to think about adapting well they are starting to shift their thinking you know i spent a good amount of time in lego in nigeria and looked at some of the people living on the water there and they're very adaptable but the real problem is. the amount of

infrastructure that at risk in cities like miami for example that the textbook plays. that are not adaptable you know you can't just pick up all those you know multimillion dollar hotels that are built along the beaches on miami beach there's huge amount of homes in residential condos and things that are built in south florida that are at risk jeff and i would then you have i know you're talking i want to show a chief that you actually shot on your twitter feed is one just that pretty much explains why right the water will come and explain what we're seeing. well the camera there is is a basically you know an inundation model of what miami looks like today when you see all the white and then as you see the blue flowing and that's with seven feet of sea level rise which i sort of the high and what we might imagine will happen by

the end of the century and you know you can see that miami as we know it today basically is gone. and so you can think about abdication with floating structures and things like that but when you have that kind of inundation you know adaptation is is very expensive very complicated and what's really going to end up happening is a kind of retreat from away from the coastline. but i want to share with you this tweet we got from i am shocked woman he says many people think the theory of thinking cities is not real if only they could still be alive by the next century is it too late for jakarta and other cities but they are. looking we are quite know with this and as human beings species show we find ways to survive also in a city like jakarta. very resilient. so i'm not. a doomsday guy but at the problems are really serious and we should address them.

and i wonder if it has enough. to get enough attention from the chanst because it's a creeping problem problem it's a slow slowly developing problem. most politicians would like to act on the daily issues and you're doing something about it tell us about your project . well we are trying to find a strategy for the short term and the long term. for security. that is now finished and we are a stage one basically a grating existing infrastructure adding two and a half meters to all the sea walls and city. stations it's it's. immense it's in our billion us dollars just for a great deal of the existing system and that is not. sustainable i mean in fifty years and i'm not

a great required so these are expensive expensive and if they things a story to check back in on for the stream thank you victor thank you jeff we'll be following this topic now from thinking cities to the twenty eighteen global heat wave regardless of where you live it's impossible that you haven't been affected by the record breaking weather of this year this is hannah and he's a member of our community from somalia and this is what he sent us clomid in just affected my city in my county and serious problems of thinking from the old to. flooding. seventeen there has been seen as the focus of the world tens of thousands of lives looks has been missed from in season has missed and there's also bins policemen some of them solicit from the homes so i had a breakdown all of this weather we have rob mccallum he's a meteorologist here on out here of course you know that love it is really good to

have you you must be inundated right now with people asking you why is it so hot and what do you say yes. well yeah yet there's a flurry of activity just last week because if you look at your phone forecast temperatures in spain for example are forty eight fifty degrees and the highest temperature record in europe is forty eight so this was this is a bit of fun this is chasing hot weather where you expect to have hot weather the never achieve the forty eight but one thing that was notable was a very warm eyes that this you know a beer you know warm nights this is one of the biggest problems of a land based heat wave just one of them and maybe it's not surprising that you find that in spain but as you probably know yeah the questions were why is it so warm in northern europe even beyond the arctic circle to texas maybe to to penguins be the second one of your guests to say i don't see the reason why you can tell you this is unusual thirty degrees in the months could for example. heat wave of course

that's beyond the arctic circle extended all the way down through to denmark the british isles so we've had poor potato harvest in belgium as a result of that there's been a. herd of drugs and this is part of the world of course sweden had one of the worst wildfires they've ever had is basically sitting up i mean that we can explain i suppose the neck and it's and this is a big hot if you think about it is a big hot rock underneath which sand scandinavia sits and around which see this thing down on me suggest what will that means is all the weather all the rain is going around the edge and this is just sitting getting hotter twenty four hours worth of daylight after all so rob we got this comment here from him that who sent us that video comment and he tweeted then this is a totally new phenomenon we need to think of nationally affordable cooling strategies i remember easter reach around forty three degrees celsius in northern regions of my country and it's never caused such problems do you agree that this is a new phenomenon that we're witnessing here. well it is clearly new in the if we're

breaking records that implies is why doesn't apply it means it's never happened before and it's not so much that you just break a record of years this is the longevity of it i mean to see a heat wave that effectively lasted more last two three four five weeks and prevented rain that's the common thing that's the thing you don't really want that's that's the consequence if you like of this and you know that's unprecedented and up this line since records began eight since the records began saying could we not as i just well writing it down the idea of since records began it's a specific date that we're talking about. you make a perfectly good point that if you don't have a good string of records you can say this is never happened before this will have happened before ten thousand years ago i wish we do have ways of getting records that far back ice cores for example but analyzing the gaps in rocks you can get a good idea of what it was like a long time before we wrote it down but actually there are records going back to three hundred years in all these northern european cities at the same place and

reliable so you can judge against that so even from that it's just really years ago said it's a good time that humans have been in this part of the world and we've known where we can go to next on the map of that take us on. well let me let me keep you going around the north of the arctic circle just because siberia this is a place where permafrost you would think would stop anything severe happening except in the winter when it gets cold and snow when we get wildfires this year we've had ten times as many as we want expect to have in siberia basically same sort of reason this persistent pattern of daytime heating it gets hotter and hotter therefore it's dry you know the frost is mel's again the nice and if you come down and just to japan japan's heat wave was deadly hundred thirty eight deaths forty one degrees and have been measured in japan another one of these long levels in fact it's about thirty five now it's just started raining so it's cooled down but it was good and in the korean peninsula that ten percent is high but the

consequence is just the same so i take it you cross asia briefly before you come back to give us their side of the pacific sat down in california where we're not talking about wildfires because that's the drought and the early wildfires in the north but down the south we've had more record temperatures in l.a. it is always hard here mistily but they've not actually registered forty four before and more importantly this goes back to what you've been told about for the thing wants of the water twenty seven degrees is like a nice warm bath that's been wrecked which is it off the coast of san diego and that's happened just a couple days ago rob we got a comment here live on you tube from someone who says how is the increase in average nightly temperatures how is it going to attack the average agricultural factor will it what's your thought. well i think we've already seen other hinted in northern europe if you increase the average temperatures that usually means in certain places it's a lot hotter in some places it's a lot cooler wetter but the thing is it's the persistence in that the potato crop

in belgium twenty five cent down because the average temps the world has gone up say point six degrees in the last little one if you like it's gone up four or five degrees with no rain this summer so it it happens very quickly in one season so your increase the amount of energy you can take out of the atmosphere you're just got thirty seconds left i have to get you've had an entire career from a young man to now as and i want to show a couple of our audience pages that they may not have seen before they haven't been following you your career at a very young man there how do you ever seen anything quite like this saw because you have some vast experience to draw on but the thing that really got me interested in and look at this in the first place was the. big cold water in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight which meant that temperatures in india were breaking records by several degrees and. this cannot be right so that's what

brought we into it and that was that was what thirty twenty thirty years ago and still going strong and now we know every year thank you so much for joining us. with a free of the on mine. then there's that they set sail for gold. but discover their resources worth more than its way to human be. driven by commerce enabled through politics and religion executed with brutality. in episode one slavery roots

a living if you dressed and made like your litter of eleven children because of the dismal influence. from a.b.c. just on al-jazeera. oh i maryanne demasi in on that here's a quick look at the top stories afghanistan's president has condemned a suicide bombing attack on an education center in kabul at least forty eight people died many of them young boys and girls studying for their university entrance exams it happened in a mainly shia neighborhood leading some to suspect that i still might have been behind the attack but no claims have been made so far lawrence leamer forts.

kabul has been relatively peaceful in recent weeks but this was bad as anything the city has witnessed in months the target was a private building in the past a town where young men and women were studying for university exams the classroom was destroyed along the way all of it a testament to the ferocity of the attack the suicide bomber is assumed to have targeted them because they were shia and so suspicion immediately fell on the ice and it's has done this sort of thing before they're not often with such devastating results but it's true that through serious questions about the emergency response back to the student at the training center i came out just after four o'clock i had a huge explosion i rushed back to my class are sold dozens of dead bodies and wounded people for about thirty minutes there was no police presence at all no ambulance service and people were carrying the wounded students to the hospitals pulled out the ambulances did arrive to do what they could about the time we got to

hospital the lines of body bags told their own story there are six dead bodies in the morgue and all of them are females their bodies have been burnt and torn into pieces assuming this was the work of i still it only serves to demonstrate the level of threats civilians continue to face in afghanistan with ghastly having come under attack mentality and in recent days as well the country remains. as an afghan journalist and politician he says kabul and other major cities have become the frontline for violence by these armed groups the number of afghans being killed in the only major afghan city is simply shocking what we believe is very dangerous when we met on the part of the afghan government in the last hour live. our. lives i think what you're also looking at in the long run is

the blow to the confidence of the younger getting ration in this country life feeling very very difficult realities specially for young people and then the shias in afghanistan have been targeted quite frequently by the islamic state and other militant groups so that question. the wonder of. goodness and that will what is the government doing you know what sort of accountability there is because the that that are becoming quite frequent italy's prime minister has declared a state of emergency in the wake of a bridge collapse in the city of genoa at least thirty nine people died and that number is expected to rise rescuers searching for survivors of being hampered by heavy rubble in the unstable bridge above them concerns have been raised in recent years about the safety of the fifty year old bridge government is blaming a lack of maintenance as questions are raised about infrastructure throughout the country. these are tragedies which are unacceptable in modern society

but shouldn't happen this government will do its utmost to avoid tragedies like this happening in the future we have plans in place to take action against the companies managing the motorway. cattle says it will invest fifteen billion dollars into turkey's ailing financial markets and banks it was announced shortly after a meeting between takis president russia type and the emir of qatar i mean been handed a funny in ankara and he has also discussed ways to improve the strategic cooperation . closing arguments have being heard in the fraud trial involving u.s. president donald trump's former campaign manager paul man a forty facing a long jail term if he is convicted of tax evasion and of lying to obtain buying planes the charges are not related to his time with the trump presidential campaign in two thousand and sixteen his defense rested on choose day without calling any witnesses it was the headlines more news coming up in twenty five minutes time off
