of all chinese products sold in the us will also fall under the terrorists the president's view is not to destroy the chinese economy we're not trying to put them out of business we're trying to get them to join the international trading nations world and be a citizen out of by by the rules for the first time in some twenty five years prior to the u.s. announcement china's foreign ministry had warned china would indeed retaliate we're going to go china will have to take necessary countermeasures to defend its own legitimate rights and interests the increased tensions will likely scuttle the renewal of trade talks between beijing and washington while about five thousand chinese products including household goods from vacuum cleaners to bikes will be targeted many u.s. businesses are expected to suffer as well three out of four american companies are adversely affected by u.s.

tariffs and maybe sixty percent are adversely affected by the chinese terror of so that companies and remember these are folks doing business in china experts agree the trade war will not only hurt the u.s. and china but also the global supply chain with the pain likely spread across the world heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington scott high the has more from beijing. the first word coming from chinese officials after this next round of tariffs was announced by the united states by the trump administration on monday coming from the commerce ministry and they said they have no choice but to retaliate no details of how they're going to retaliate on this two hundred billion dollars worth of tariffs levied by the united states on monday they said that they hope the united states will correct its behavior and you know they had ongoing trade negotiations trade talks throughout this trade war over the last several months the response to

be another round just in the next couple of weeks chinese officials the commerce ministry saying because of what happened on monday those talks are now poisoned you know most likely that means that the chinese delegation will probably not go to washington was supposed to be the next round for these talks but again right now this is the first reaction from chinese officials but no details of how they're going to act but they said they definitely have to act well the eighty members of the u.s. congress are pushing to get two voices journalists freed from jail in bandra calling on the top administration to raise the issue with men mostly to unsung suchi while lennon chose so who was sentenced to seven years in prison earlier this month and convicted of possessing state secrets for that reporting on the army's campaign against the slums the u.s. is slashing the number of refugees it will allow into the country next year might pump a announced that he thousand refugees would be admitted and that's fifteen thousand fewer than this year. characterized the refugee ceiling as the sole

barometer of america's commitment to vulnerable people around the world this would be wrong. other countries were noting their humanitarian protection efforts highlight their assistance to both refugees and asylum the united states should do the same. this year's refugee ceiling reflects the substantial increase in the number of individuals seeking asylum in our country leading to a massive backlog about standing asylum cases and greater public expense for the new refugee cap of thirty thousand is the lowest set since one thousand nine hundred eighty that's despite the number of people displaced globally reaching a record sixty nine million in twenty seventeen u.s. has historically led the world in refugee settlements but under the trump administration's tough immigration policies a numbers have drastically dropped the pew research center found that last year the u.s. resettled pure refugees than all other countries combined for the first time since one nine hundred eighty and the number of muslim refugees admitted to the u.s.

has dropped more than other religious groups. iftikhar is a human rights lawyer and senior fellow at georgetown university he says the announcement reflects on tom's immigration policies of the twenty five point four million refugees in this year most. research organizations think that about seventy percent of them are muslims and you know don't have somebody who has campaigned and legislated that the muslim travel down to secretary of state might. one suggest that almost certain areas them so i'm certainly not surprised at all that. resettlement numbers for the united states congress in the year ninety eight passed the refugee. limit of two hundred thousand refugees which were of which were allowed annually now during the obama administration that number was about a hundred ten thousand so his recent statement that they're going to lower the refugee settler numbers to thirty thousand is literally an e-file percent decrease

specially the the presidency under the current administration they were talking about eighty seven occurrence of casual livery and this is potentially money that was provided from a large infrastructure company looking to gain some contracts in argentina and i was probably used for campaigning phones and person one by them and from the car family argentina through the travel time right now my creatively simmias plan to be able to you gather more support from the i.m.f. individual loan money including a series of different strong measures such as the reduction of subsidies to energy prices and increase the potential die of taxes on exports for argentine producers so a series of austerity measures to be able to gather support from the from the i.m.f. and that was supposed to be the basis on which our christlike person or was aiming to you build a future political campaign for the upcoming elections of may twenty ninth seen the obviously these charging from the from the prosecutor in in argentina is arriving

us in the streets and we feel that that is not a proper. process to take it all that good should not be encouraged to be to be done but some city council workers believe removing street vendors is one way to contain the disease right now we are negotiating with private property on us for them to be able to consume some of them for them to have a proper filling places and we are opening up for structuring some other event installs designated selling points made public toilets have been proposed in and around the city this is where the government wants some of the vendors to go it's a market in downtown harare it's still being built but some people say the rentals are too high. a market stall in here can cost a few hundred dollars depending on the size some vendors prefer selling on the street so they don't pay rent. but selling on the street means dodging right police who had been arresting people and confiscating merchandise health workers say the show of force won't stop the spread of cholera if the political will to deal with

we understand the differences and the similarities of cultures of course of the world. so no matter where you call home i'll just bring in the news and current affairs that matter to. me ok and i really could be anywhere as though freedom forum bringing together artists entrepreneurs and human rights advocates from around the world coming up we chat with two notable speakers for this year's conference that's today on the stream we are live now on you tube so send your questions and comments and i will do our very best to get them into this conversation. my name is.

threatened with violence ever since twenty fourteen when she published the personal contacts of her country's parliament on social media the daughter of an activist who was imprisoned multiple times by the father of the present for missing day has lived her life as an activist on the run launching the hash tag for must go to demand president move all from the office among other social reforms. the deputy leader of the now banned opposition cambodian national rescue party who's been in exile since twenty seventeen has been a vocal critic of prime minister hun sen and the cambodian people's party. actions in july but opposition activists dispute the result government has cracked down on political opposition but recently released some distance from prison including see in our leader. so i'm very pleased to welcome both. and also mr couper from this

year's oslo freedom forum in new york city. to the streams good to see ladies very good to see. you are living in exile right now for a politician who is so engaged in your country's history and development what is that like. to be in exile is never a choice is. a security and you need to keep your voice. how are you or from the country let us not ask your voice to keep the market alive and that is my plan. for people who are not following the progress of what's happening in cambodia or perhaps the lack of progress of what's happening in cambodia can you give us one vivid example of what it is that the opposition party when it was allowed to exist would be complaining about. today campbell ga is a one party state after the last election which was

a sham election. and form look and you know that the khmer rouge regime killed all the two million people including mike hammons is a farm. and wants to stay in thailand much longer therefore he had to take out the democratic forces from civil society independent media and then finally dissolving the only opposition party campbell gen national rescue party the party is not only dissolved the opposition leader mr power and another leader mr kemp is in prison has been in prison for the past year and not believe he has been in exile and we have eight hundred eighteen of us at the top level of the opposition have been banned from political activities that's what this edition right now that we are not going to let him say and he's take

a chance to run to take the country to dictatorship much longer cambodia needs to be back on track with democracy and that is the only way to give people the whole and to keep democracy alive in cambodia so secure there are some questions here about how specifically you can do that to put cambodia back on track as you say this is a tweet we got from someone who says recently i've seen that the opposition's interior is broken it's broken between the two leaders that you mentioned found rainey supporters and come so close supporters so i want to know how that happened and how it can get back to normal and if there's any hope that they can come back to politics in cambodia so your thoughts for the opposition being dissolved how will they then be able to form that united clocks. the strong support inside the country don't forget that. we've got forty four percent of the vote meetings over three million have the country and we have

a very very strong cambodian diaspora in europe in the united states australia. on top of that we have leaders who are still very very committed to and use as well to democracy we have a common goal which is putting democracy back on track we are a democrat. party or we have ideas we have strategies that don't always match so we express ourselves it does not mean that we are broken from inside they want to break us but to the country we are aligned with voices are heard and these conversations make it sound like we have broken we are not i just want to show some pictures of this occur when you are more active on twitter at texas that the twenty fifth i'm going to show them and you can tell us what you what was going through your mind at the time this was an act of defiance that you were doing involving

freedom part very briefly explain what that was. that was when freedom which is like in london it plays where people can express themselves and use it for public expression was closed down because tool many people with the opposition were using the plug so they close it down and know we are going to march on. over to london to find. them sometimes. the tanks we have to be to show to the jews actually that they are they belong to freedom party and we should let freedom to be taken by these forces so we have to fight for freedom of expression of god three fifths of being alive and the best time to be alive in dictatorship is freedom

part. and then for our viewers who don't know of course you went to jail in twenty fourteen for protesting in freedom park so i want to bring up this tweet with that in mind this is the alpha who says i can't imagine activists not being immediately put in prison in cambodia if they organize i don't think there is any room at all for human rights activist organizing cambodia anymore many people jailed this last year with really zero substantive evidence at all what would your message be to cambodian still in cambodia who want to organize. keep fighting keep expressing yourself you can't do social media you can all have to be compressed titian no but you can and you must express the feelings your ideas just thoughts about correction with having to have to find a way which is. to work with to fight dictatorship freedom of

expression without going to jail which means telling the truth but at the same time giving solutions rather than attacking the dictator saying for the. fall cambodia for the whole of cambodia can dictate to say no. but you have to understand that mr hudson is also trying to get workers for example get the families for example on his side as well especially to do so you have to play with his game which is to bring the forces behind you which is a voice is the voice of the youth and it did jews are afraid because they are intimidated by mr and that is not the way to fight jews actually power and they should be using their voices to social media. with the course advice to cambodians who want to organize tell the truth and don't be intimidated so i

want to share a comment from someone who is doing just that in another country in vietnam take a look at this headline why. performs in secret in her country she is actually also a participant at the oslo freedom forum and she's often been dubbed lady gaga due to her activism and her style so have a listen to what that sounds like here she is performing at the freedom forum. design. wonder. so she was actually banned from singing publicly in her country for speaking out about freedom of expression and freedom of speech she sent us a big comment from the forum and this is what she had to say i am an independent

artist i don't think of myself as an activist i just do things to make people think and act in the new place but. people label this activism. one challenge is people have certain expectations about what is activism and how activist should act so this makes my work twice as hard. i have to face control from both from the government and from the good so good to society period i want to bring you in here you know you heard her say she doesn't consider herself an activist because that raises all types of questions about what is activism and what does an activist look like and you relate to that do you consider yourself an activist i definitely do. i believe

that i am an activist because activists are people who are quite seemed to change the course of things in their community and change the course of things for the better actors are really fighting for a cause and they believe in organizing communities and the believe in citizens voices and that's what i do in barring citizens organizing citizens about if then i am an activist creed i want to show you a picture is a picture of you just a few moments ago on the sage they also freedom form in new york and there's a quote here togo's presence can be compared with a living hell and this is you just talking just a little while ago this is you on stage of a striking picture just behind the movie people who don't know what's going on in togo if there was a description that you could give them to understand why it is that you take so many risks but with that description. my country has been ruled by the oldest

military regime in africa the very first bloody coup in africa nine hundred sixty tree was conducted in togo and that is a class that we want to break away from my grandfather fought against this regime my father did and i did i feel like it's a ship is the only thing that's been hairy to juggle and that is not by their heritage that i want to pass on to my own children. as being ruled by the same family for five decades is just too much in not only being denied of our busy criminal rights but on top of that this regime has built in terms of believe ring any economic growth to the country and today togo is in the top ten poorest country in the world and four times prosecutable in my people have been we have made it as the poorest as the most unhappy people on earth that is that is a very appalling thing and i want things to change for the better because.
