britain and also just last year another telecommunications company zed t. was fined some one point two billion dollars in the united states for selling its products to iran and as well as north korea and basically the u.s. government feels that said he and holloway are basically the same sides of the same coin and they want this company placed under really tight scrutiny and that's what is now taking place what's interesting though is the timing of this arrest because it happened on the very day that president xi jinping and president donald trump were sitting down to face each other over that diplomatic dinner in one a series and i suppose the key question is really this did president trump know that this high profile arrest was going to happen and was the rest designed to somehow damage the truce that had been agreed between the two leaders anyway we

its embassy in ottawa has been a lot angrier they even go as far to say that they believe that her human rights have been harmed and again that they're calling for her to be released and say that they hope that the legal systems in the united states and in canada will ensure that justice prevails there is a moment a media conference taking place at the ministry of foreign affairs here in beijing this is the daily news briefing and i would imagine we will get more comment from the spokesperson there as the afternoon progresses thank you very much for the moment adrian brown live for us in beijing talks aimed at ending yemen's nearly four year long war is set to begin in sweden who the rebels and yemeni government representatives are to meet in a hotel outside stockholm aside from the fighting and looming famine is also adding to the suffering of millions of yemenis. reports.
