was the united states that invited china to take part in these talks but president donald trump has said he doesn't believe these negotiations will achieve very much of more concern to china right now is the fact that the u.s. trade representative's office is currently hearing arguments for and against allowing the united states to impose additional tariffs on some two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese goods if that were to happen it would hurt not just china but also the u.s. consumer because it would involve products such as parts for bicycles the sort of stuff every day consumer items here in china no sign of panic so far as we enter the second month of this trade dispute chinese consumers though are starting to spend less there are signs that the consumers are a tightening their belts on the horizon they see an economy in china that is slowing and they also see another red flag debt that debt pile is getting bigger

just trying to put together what exactly has happened in yemen over the last couple of hours speaking to local journalists and trying to find out from local sources what appears to happened is that there was an attack in the area of this district and we are told by united arab emirates state media that that was carried out by the fighters and it killed one child then a couple of hours later we saw another attack in a camp for internally displaced people essentially refugees from the war in other parts of yemen who moved to this place to try and get some safety attack we are told killed thirty one people including more than twenty children local journalists are quoting the health ministry in sanaa as confirmation of those numbers that this attack comes just two weeks after the saudi lead coalition attacked a school bus which killed fifty people including forty children now it was alleged that it was a u.s. missile that was used in that attack and that led to questions across the united states from many politicians wondering why the u.s.

was still supporting this so delayed operations in yemen and if this attack this latest attack proves to be so if you like coalition operation using american missiles that will only increase the calls for the u.s. to get out of the conflict in yemen we've also heard in the last couple of hours from the answer rula movement linked to the theists and they say that new blood has been spilled in yemen new child's blood has been spilled in yemen before the blood of the previous attack had even begun to dry the united nations is calling on south american countries to keep their borders open for venezuelans thousands of people are escaping the worst economic collapse in the history of their oil rich country. about two point three million have gone in the last four years and that's just those who have illegally migrated they have spread across south central and north america but some even swing to the caribbean

enough to have a passport come here to catch a bus going to peru via colombia and ecuador like everything else the bus tickets go on day by day so the people who are lining up here are doing so not to get a new ticket but to pay the difference from one they bought a month ago at four hundred and forty now they have to pay eight hundred eighty one they can't get on the bus it's prohibitive so like many others alexander is leaving for peru to try his luck with his pockets empty and. there's no work a consequence my family obama milk and diapers my baby so i have no choice as the departure time nears the waiting room begins to look and feel like a mass funeral parlor husbands wives children and fiances say goodbye to each other and certain what will become of those who leave. or of those who must stay behind.

the tragedy the taking place every single day in every corner of the news when she and human al-jazeera connect. some heartbreaking scenes there from caracas alexander he is in room we talk about on the colombia ecuador border so what's happening on the ground there. well hello did you say that your introduction the ecuadorian government has put its restrictions in place that their ballot is going to quit and to show their passports and many of them don't have them so back to this is that people have been stranded here at the border or looking for alternative routes. into ecuador which is where most of them i've been doing through their their roads or or or or either often at the crossing point illegal crossing for instance hundreds of them are now walking through. and are trying to make it to protrude on time that's the final destination

for many of them on time before also the rule sets new restrictions on saturdays so we've seen a reduction in legal crossings like this one from over four thousand people a day to less than five hundred while more and more people are trying to make their way in alternative ways and precisely because of those restrictions. the u.n. is calling on countries south american countries to ease or make it easier for the venezuelans to come over. are you seeing any signs of that of the ecuadorian government using this restriction. well there has been some easing in the sense that now they are letting through children who might not have a passport if their parents do they're also letting through with just an id pregnant women and also there has been

a legal challenge that was abroad or buy out there in public advocate and on friday we're expecting a ruling from a constitutional judge on the new restrictions on the constitution when you many theory and big disadvantage. boards are also the government told me has called for. the migration of officials of colombia ecuador improve that will happen on monday and tuesday in bogota the capital of colombia to try and coordinate this strategy of how to deal with this ever increasing crisis and the government of ecuador also called for a regional summit that will be at a presidential level in. september in two and they've called thirteen different countries they've also invited when it's well i will be if they will participate thank you very much alexander's m.p.'s he and the colombia ecuador border.

u.s. president donald trump has responded to speculation about the possibility of impeachment as two former aides face jail time former lawyer michael cohen implicated trump in a federal crime when he pleaded guilty to breaking campaign finance laws saying he did so at trump's direction in an interview with the fox news channel trump said there would be an economic crash if he were no longer president. i don't know how you can impeach somebody who's done a great job. i'll tell you what if i ever got a ph i think the market would pressure i think everybody would be very poor. because without this thinking you would see that you would see members that you would believe meanwhile president trump passed renewed his attacks on attorney general jeff sessions trump says sessions has never taken control of the justice department sessions head back saying his department will not be improperly influenced by political considerations sessions was an early supporter of trump's

presidential bid but trump has since accused him of failing to protect him from special counsel robert miller's investigation into russian interference in the twenty sixteen elections. ok we can now speak to castro who is in washington d.c. so heidi as we were saying there jeff sessions sessions has responded quite strongly against trump's comments how significant is this. that's right in those comments to via came in a long and winding injure of you with the conservative news outlets fox news that aired this morning in the united states and the fact that sessions actually hit back is significant because this attorney general has long suffered many rounds of criticism from trump usually repeating the same refrain which is that session's should not have recused himself from the russian investigation and a stance of we should have supported his friend donald trump the president by

protecting him from this investigation and the fact that sessions today responded with this statement saying that he would not be influenced by political considerations is seen as finally him drawing a line in the sand and saying that he will no longer be called out by the president for what he considers to be doing his job the question now is how will trump respond there has long been this escalating war of words that trump has aimed at sessions and he's always hung over the attorney generals had the option of firing him which the president has every power to do however it's unclear whether firing sessions would get rid of the russian investigation at all and it's only certain that doing so would only raise the political firestorm that's already in gulf in the trump administration an idea adding to the intrigue in court cases we're now hearing that there are reports the national enquirer publisher david parker has been granted immunity by federal prosecutors also the michael cohen case can you

tell us.
