was operating an unofficial subsidiary out of hong kong that was indeed engaged with businesses any ran now man was arrested at the vancouver airport but this happened at the behest of u.s. authorities on monday her bail hearing will resume in canada and the u.s. is working to extradite her for trial in new york that is unless china successfully intervenes it is able to convince canada against cooperating which it is forcefully trying to do now the timing is peculiar because the arrest of thing happened just as u.s. president donald trump was sitting down for dinner with china's president seizing ping in argentina last saturday trump claims he didn't know that this arrest was happening at the same time but china views it all as a national embarrassment particularly because maine is considered to be corporate royalty in china not only is she the chief financial officer of huawei which is the preeminent telecommunications company in china but she's also the daughter of that

a message to washington this is serious i think that is to reduce the level of pressure on them and how much of the case so that it's a play on different cards on the same table after several false starts talks aimed at ending the war in yemen have hit a wall if the rebels and government are divided on the fate of president of the rebel months old had the that was just one of the issues clouding the third day of talks for a political solution as has been reports from rimbaud in sweden. talks hit a stumbling block just at the time when hopes of progress were growing. yemen's rival factions are entrenched warning if their demands are not met the talks will fail and as the negotiations continue the who theater control and the northern part of the country say they are willing to join a national unity government if president obama so hardy steps down so.

the political solution from our point of view should be a new transitional period that has a time frame and must have consensual executive power including the presidency and the government and must work on certain pillars like security and military operations in sharing food control over the yemeni state and solving unsolved problems. the proposal was swiftly dismissed by the government had the loyalists say the healthy rebels seized power in a coup in two thousand and fourteen and therefore that surround is a prerequisite for any future deal if you know what i can make. it hard to goes do you think that would solve the problem the problem is cool leaders.
