a little bit of clout there just around that the eastern side of iran pushing over towards afghanistan for sunday to catch wanted to share was it was kabul so in parts of the caspian little chain of storms you can see just run up towards the black sea this is out of the med 5 and try to $24.00 celsius for beirut with plenty of sunshine is the plenty of sunshine across arabian peninsula but somewhat stiff clout there into central parts of saudi arabia might just squeeze out one of 2 spots of bright 38 in the 40 back to around 36 on sunday i think by sunday that when starting to pick out so the possibility little bit will lift the dust and sand by a large pretty much dry for the most part dry for the most part too across southern africa we have got one of 2 showers just pushing up towards the northeast of mozambique southern areas of tanzania the heaviest rain will be into tanzania and the designs to the south of that is fine and dry.

sailing from libya it was one of the deadliest shipwrecks involving refugees and migrants trying to reach europe this year meanwhile more people are being forced from their homes by violence and natural disaster disasters last year than ever before that's according to the norwegian refugee council over 41000000 people are displaced around the world a majority of them are from 10 countries with syria and colombia topping the list in 2018 there were 28000000 new displacements ethiopia the democratic republic of congo and syria account for more than half that figure nearly 11000000 people were forced out by violence and conflict sub-saharan africa was higher than any other region with nearly 3000000 people affected in need feel alone but the majority of new displacement about 17000000 were because of natural disasters the philippines china and india accounted for around 60 percent of all new displacements alexandra belike is director of international displacement monitoring center she explains why

the figure is at an all time high. the challenges are many many and we actually are highlighting 4 of them specifically today one is the displacement is very much a repeated and a cyclical experience for many people it's very rare that people experience it as a one off episode more and more people are experiencing multiple hazards and multiple waves of displacement sometimes in the same year we're also seeing that displacement affects people in richer and poorer countries in very different ways so it is systematically the poorer households the poorer families and the more vulnerable groups like women and children who are disproportionately affected another key trend is that. it is becoming increasingly difficult for displaced people across the world to find solutions to that displacement and put in particular to return to the areas that they are from and that is very much because many of the cities that these people are from have been destroyed the damage to

infrastructure has been syria which may and in many cases they also filled with mines which makes a return very difficult in many cases many of the crises that are causing this displacement. 1st and foremost political so we need political solutions to the conflicts that means more investment in peace building more investment in conflict mediation in some of the largest conflict cases that we've seen but in terms of disaster displacement we also need more investment in disaster risk reduction in encrypted nissin only one ing systems and of course in climate change that patients now many of these investments on the prevention side affording shorts. on the response side of course the issue is very much a humanitarian issue and we can see that the humanitarian funds. too are limited across the world so there needs to be also an investment on the development science so that the longer term impacts of displacement can be addressed and can be can be

taken care of by the development thanks is there mostly governments but also international agencies. u.s. president donald trump says new sanctions on iran were only to encourage a dialogue on a potential new deal but iran's leaders continue to reject that idea and insists out the no talks between the 2 sides and the reports from tehran. are a friday sermon and a chance for people to catch up on the latest developments in what has been a busy week for iran more u.s. sanctions a growing diplomatic divide with europe and an announcement by president hassan rouhani to start scaling back iraq's cooperation with a 2015 nuclear deal the cleric speaking for iran's supreme leader said president rouhani should not have waited so long to do it as the ending of the game we support and appreciate this appropriate of russian reaction and we are sure it will be successful the united nations international community and european union face a big test as iranians took to the streets to protest against u.s.

a little more worried some erroneous find there is no better way to express their anger towards the united states. then setting a flag on fire as though it's become a ritual that seems mostly for the benefit of the cameras. nearly 2 years of what they see a psychological and economic abuse by the troubled ministration has made iranians more angry than afraid. speech no dialogue with trump because no because trump is not good. while u.s. president donald trump continues to tell his own people that sanctions are designed to get iranian leaders to start a dialogue with him that he does not want to hurt anyone the iranian experience of trump's time in office suggests otherwise zain basra the old jazeera. has really forces have killed a palestinian protesters during weekly protests and on the israel gaza border demonstrations began in march last year with palestinians demanding the right to

for you in under 30 minutes time inside story is next. canada europe save the iran nuclear deal the e.u. says it's committed to the 2015 agreements with world powers but iran says the europeans are submitting to pressure from the united states can a way forward be feigns this is insight story.

hello and welcome to the program i'm hala marr here dean european leaders are scrambling to save the iran nuclear deal from collapse after years of on off to pull mysie the agreements known as the g.c. was finally signed with world powers 4 years ago but the united states with drew last year one year on and serene in leaders are threatening to produce more enrich uranium which could be used to make nuclear weapons unless other parties to the deal protects its economy from u.s. sanctions iran has given the european union china and russia 60 days to comply and ultimatum already rejects it spoil sport they say they remain committed to keeping the nuclear deal alive and they're urging iran not to abandon its. yes france has stayed in it and will stay in it and i deeply wish to iran will too it is up to us to work to convince everyone and iran to stay in it we remain fully

committed to the full implementation of the disappear way of the nuclear deal it's a matter of security for us and for the entire world the european union investment in nonproliferation continues to be a top priority for us. their own foreign minister says europe's response is not strong enough mohamed judd serif tweet seats the e.u. statement today is flying the j c p u a is where it is the u.s. has bullied europe ants the rest of the world's for a year and a you can only express regrets instead of demanding that iran unilaterally abides by a multilateral accords the e.u. should uphold obligations including the normalization of economic ties well europe had speed working on a system called instax to allow trade with iran and avoids u.s. sanctions so how does it work well it's an alternative payment channel being set up

by france germany and the u.k. instax allows iranian companies to sell to european customers without having to rely on international banks which face penalties on the u.s. sanctions instax will then process the payments due to iran and vice versa the system is used to initially cover norm sanctions items such as food and medical supplies but leaders hope to eventually expand it to include iran's most important exports oil. well let's bring in today's guest joining us from room by skype is a not to the touchy director of the italian institutes of international affairs and a special advisor to you foreign policy chief federica mo greeny from austria is the hard see an economist at the vienna institute for international economic studies and also by skype from a center yes or met in france is false we're nicole look

a former french ambassador to iran thank you all for joining is if i could start with natalie to see we're hearing over the past couple of days about the difficulty the g c p is 18 do you think this agreement can be saved. yes i absolutely do think it's still can be saved letters i think i think it's important to highlight what the difficulties are and the difficulties are due to the fact that one of the key parties to the jason here way the united states decided to withdraw you cannot for a disagreement and that exactly one year ago now obviously the j.c. rests on the let's call it social contract which on one hand saw the revocation of all nuclear related sanctions on the one hand in return for the containment of iran's nuclear program now obviously where one side of the bargain

goes missing clearly the entire architecture of the deal starts traveling now her opinions have been trying over the course of the last year is essentially to do what it takes to try and compensate for this fundamental flaw in the implementation of adjacent you may now i think you know before when he even goes into sort of criticizing we're not criticizing what europeans have done so far i think it's important to highlight the fact that there has been a genuine commitment of europeans to try and do what it takes to save the jason give way and at the very difficulty in doing so is that clearly we are faced with a situation in which the application of u.s. extraterritorial sanctions makes it extremely difficult not only by the way the europeans but also for the russians and the chinese that are also signatories to

the g.'s secure way to actually live up to the effective. revocation and implementation therefore of sanctions visibly iran now that's the question is this going to be is it still possible to same. the deal i personally think that it is i think that although it is technically extremely complicated to actually get the insteps mechanism to actually operate not only to the pulley operational in its current form that essentially concerns humanitarian goods but most significantly it's actually be expanded to meet use of other countries such as for example russia and china and eventually to be expanded to be complemented by another financial mechanism to allow trade in what is the most significant good impression which is a sea oil so there are clear technical difficulties involved there are clear

political difficulties and not because this is inevitably going to cause friction between europe and the united states but i actually do think and i believe the saying about this notwithstanding the rainy and declarations. of their adventure or. the suspension of that side of the bargain that actually aren't still does have a lot to gain from the meaning that in the case of the lake and what the united states wants iran to do is precisely to buy the jason ok i'll pick you up on some of these points in just a 2nd so let's turn that's a false on equal do you believe that this deal can be saved and your reaction so what we've been hearing from that's a touchy and room to believe though that the mood could be food but both are no longer a no for most of the. there were arguably provocative

but the. whole. iranian we've gone further than it is working or the problem we're going to be in truth to removing if you are in fact. what for what for them to produce a little more uranium enriched uranium. the reunions are not going to produce a bomb and then they're going to the wrong thing the risk to produce them on they don't need and rich your real father on li reactor nuclear reactor function the functioning of the present moment with the musha react up because the russians are providing father father the future with a further reach your resume so they're hung in fact no immediate interest in up in leaving the disappear way because leaving the disappeared then we will lose

this kind of high moral ground on which there are and. its rulers and then we learned tiger neither the lure of pairs of russians or the chinese saw we see of course it's a really difficult moment difficult moment especially for rouhani you know whose quarter between the united states of course and then it's on a position that either the radical conservatives who have always been against the d.c.p. away they have to find him either lying the middle ground. or you have given i wouldn't call it a night he made them because frankly it was a very gentle a very soft of the minister of. but we have 2 moms and then after that 2 months and then through 2 months on rouhani run he's going to says to

face time and on the moment at which you say the very long and a very long and a very long time saw him yesterday and i am sorry to interrupt but open a little bit perhaps this declaration from iran which perhaps both. and i it's a frustration because they would argue they're not seeing the benefits of being in the steel they aren't seeing these benefits the economic benefits have not started to fall so if they have nothing to free this why not develop a bomb and get invited to a summit by president donald trump no it's true true that are they getting no better from her and of course who really disappointed her create a very difficult situation for her no repeat of the reader. or core which is the suffering. created by her economic recession

but. if not on the right or no reconnoiter. western no moral ground at the question of general political general proposition i hope i hope that iran. considering or or the proven camp really will fall to remaining to disappear also hold on to the new are going to come out of the lone be. maybe ridden on the present moment luck or will let's let's see if we can set brakes and some of these solutions medical and see if i could turn to unite this instead. vehicle this mechanism that the europeans have been trying to develop as a way to circumvent these sanctions from the us do you think this is a possible solution to the situation we're in. sure well

actually i believe and i share similar opinion as other honorable guests and i believe that also that the measures that iran implemented 2 days ago and the 60 days is also very cautious and i believe that in stakes could be very good for iran because there's several other things that instincts could do because it's a barter trading system so it can not only help europeans european firms to do business with iran but it could also help 3rd countries to do business with iran and it can fill in the gap and it can act as an accounting we can ism so it's like iran can expect can import some products from european countries or from other countries and then it can really explored as a central hall up to other central asian countries of gunnison to many other countries so these could produce some revenue for iran if in sticks become a parade in fact iran has been has been placed on the ancient silk road so it can benefit much from it and if investment comes into the iran and if

europeans are willing to give some loans to the ring in government then it can also boost some revenues to the government is can boost the budget in the government so it can certainly help iran it in economic terms and let let me give you some also personal view on this because i've been residing in the e.u. for about a decade one 3rd of my life and i believe that european values of these difficult times could come to the help of uranian nation and i'm sure that on their delayed their ship of miss renie. europe can somehow facilitate some more economy activity so it needs some incentivization for european firms to do business with iran actually i'm an economics and i know for sure that how how to enable firms how to incentivize firms one needs to give them some subsidies. and

europe has its own mechanism to fund as a means for instance a small and medium enterprises so that they can be. they would be able to do business with iran and that could be also achieved in it within 60 days because europe has the political will is a pause as i see but is this not the hard see is this that nibbling round the edges we're talking about tree in in foods in medicines and in developing small and medium sized enterprises but that the arena an economy needs funds not you it needs to be able to shift their soil and it needs to be able to get big companies like one or like air bus back into the country that needs to be able to shift the soil why is it not able to do this under this proposed instax system. well because these are mostly offered by the very large technological technologically advanced frontiers in the fields and those are mostly more to

national enterprises and according to do sadistic side i am sure that european commission is also here in this city styx majority of one to national companies in europe are owned automated me or controlled by american companies so it is indeed very difficult for those companies to do business with iran but it still s. i mean there are lots of us i mean for instance in austria that are very technologically advanced in certain different fields so they could also transfer technology into iran so that it gives a boost to the long run development in iraq ok that's the way to see the this instead solution sounds like it sounds like a piecemeal approach it sounds like were papering over something until a bigger change can be made would you agree with that. no i wouldn't i mean i think it's worth highlighting simply how complicated this mechanism here is and just the sort of simply summed it up with me basically what we're talking about are 2

parallel mechanisms one in your i'm actually wanted around itself which essentially functions carol bartz a systems now the point is that in order to make this significant meaning that in order to actually create sufficient flow to full credit if you like 30 year aliens which they can actually use them to start of mechanism to then import european goods in a significant number of european goods unique think can really make a difference is indeed well now i think what it is we've highlighted is the fact that no europe and iraq i'm actually not. so displayed is so we're really doesn't meet the imagine a situation in which we have not the party and this is why i work that part of participation so i want to. to chip into this mechanism so for example if one were to imagine a situation in which iran actually exports its oil part of its oil so russia

therefore does not use its own domestically produced energy and rather uses that to chip in to instead that creates a credit with it in states which then iran could use into imports european model so this is a triangulation which as you can imagine is quite complicated to get up and nothing now if such a mechanism work to be set up and it is being set up if it were to be fully implemented if actually it would be very significant. because there is no way that the united states can actually absolute directs a direct role of european companies in direct trade with iran so i think it is absolutely worth 8 pursuing this route now of course one thing you can do is point the guns at the heads of european and other companies basically saying

saying you have to invest in iraq now that we cannot do what we can't do that is actually signal and act upon our signal in that we are serious about this and i think that we do have and the iranians if you like 60 ultimately 60 days actually do suggest that there is still a window of opportunity to actually get this up and running do you think the europeans naturally taught she are being robust enough in tackling this because they have been accused by the iranians of a timid response to the u.s. his decision to withdraw from the j.c. . i think you know let's be very clear about it i think yes indeed so far rather than timid i do think this is a gradual approach and i think it's a gradual approach because it's really something that goes well beyond around the j.c.t. away i mean this is really part of the must largest story about a very slow and gradual acclimation of european tahnee these are the the united

states both economical ptolemy and eventually also tiny in security and defense now we have been in a situation of asymmetry with the united states for the last 70 years this is not going to be reversed over the course of the next weeks or months it's a very slow process but i think there is this gradual cami it really is gradual realization that this is something that we have to do not only for the j.c.t. away not only through iran but above all our own interests and balance because today it is about iran what if tomorrow the united states the states impose actually saratov sanctions on the european union for its trade with china then will we do so i think this is something that we have to do but as i said reversing a situation of asymmetry that has consolidated over the course of decades is not something that can be done over the course of meet force on the cover which is support 1st the search continued push to a separate system rather than operating in parallel with the united states and do

you think the united states would just sit back and let the europeans get on with it. well there are the solutions and of course instincts who are the solution the whole problem and how long it will take to take shape you know and to. know its inverse instinct is a very small thing you know it is not yet operational because we're still waiting for the reunions to adopt the antiterrorism rules that that would allow or allow all of europe to do to create a great chance of iran in state's history so it's not going to operational. one they didn't work this is a solution but as we were thinking in another span of time you know if we were probably in 2345 years the half 1000000 more and now the difficulty is that

we have to find a solution in tools for 6 months and this is the dilemma we're facing at the present moment do you think a solution can be found in this timeframe false when you can look i mean yes i mean i want to be optimistic one when you're a diplomat you have to be optimistic. though i will have to choose another period you know but only through the. everybody we have to make of sanctions the iranians we have to work of sanctions. in new york where we have to be less than in the heart of the american hands that. could. push a little less and through and through the valley of the different parties is a little less. on. the general level no longer. a ripple ok mad money what see do you

think that. iran is there obviously focusing on europe the european parties to this j c p u a said they are getting them to help them with this but is should iran just be focusing on europe why has there not be more of a push towards china and russia to help deal with this. well a lot of the reason is because mainly before 2010 i think european union the 28 members of the european union was the largest trading partner you're wrong and exactly after the sanctions the recent sanctions to place then they trade relations and economy relations over iran shifted somehow to china and china is now the largest buyer of oil from iran and it is the largest trading partner with iran so

that's why do you raney and authorities do not put any blame on china but is still china could do much more than this because china is enjoying a large state owned enterprises that could benefit more from iranian oil or from iranian economy and the reason is that because if there is a political will by the chinese government then there is also a possibility that those state owned companies could trade more of iraq but because now they are doing now they are they're having at least some trade with iran and they're sending their export thing many products to iran but european union does not have that so that's why the blame is somehow pointed to the european union and i think as as also other speakers said i think 2 other countries russia and china should join the e.u. in somehow implementing the effective in stakes that is more global that other countries could also benefit from this and this should be somehow an autonomy so

that the united states government could not reach out to it and as far as i see in the trade bait and trade of sadistic 6 really into global value chains european union is to intertwine its too involved with the u.s. economy so i cannot see such an autonomy i mean in economy terms in the near future but there could be at least some other parts of the economy that. somehow disconnected from the u.s. market and this is possible and that could be achieved through some account of them like in stocks and those could be supported by blocking blocking the statute and many other economic measures could be implemented in order to achieve this ok and and and foresee i think we have run out of time but thank you so much that's all 3 of my guests for your thoughts on how to have to deal with this predicament so i'd like to say thank you it's not so they thought see motherhood see and fought for in

i maryam namazie in london with the top stories from europe including saudi ship leaves france without its planned cargo of weapons following protests over the war in yemen and. also this hour a nearly 200 countries reach idea to stop plastic waste polluting the world's oceans. stand with all your sports person germans brazilian star name is given a 3 match ban for nationally out at a fair. thank you very much for joining us and attempt to end a full blown trade war between the u.s. and china has come to an end in washington with no breakthrough chinese negotiators left the meeting just over an hour ago and that came after president donald trump talked of adding even more tabs on chinese import. we'll go live to our white house correspondent kimberly hunt get in washington in just

a moment but 1st alan fischer has this report. says a deal was close until the chinese broke it so in came you turn as he believes will lead to a better deal i happen to think that tariffs for a country. a very powerful you know with a piggy bank that everybody steals from including china the white house issued a statement from the president saying hiking tide of some 10 to 25 percent on 250000000000 dollars worth of goods means china piece a lot more money directly into the u.s. treasury but that's not how tired of swak they will drive up prices on their own 6 those and i tunes america imports from china from washing machines to steal from food to fish importers pay the tab of the costs almost always passed on to the customer and all kimmer gets parts for a south carolina bike shop from china he's already added 20 dollars to the cost of a new machine we don't know how he perceived that china is paying for this we're

paying for it and it's been passed on to our customers $1.00 tree group says for a family of 4 they'll be paying $767.00 more a year because the increased costs kind of spring it's just frustrating because you just know that most politicians aren't familiar with what it's like to live every day you know in the middle class you had to juggle what you can afford and which you can't afford and a lot of people can't even do that donald trump says a tough negotiation brings a better deal and american manufacturing might benefit as companies turn away from high priced chinese goods. the chinese are retaliating and one sector being hit is u.s. farming both sides are under pressure to do a deal when the world's 2 biggest economies have a problem with each other and the potential is there for the rest of the world to feel the pain alan fischer al-jazeera washington let's not talk to our white house correspondent kimberly hakim any day 2 of the trade talks ended by the quickly do

we know what happened. yes we're still trying to get some understanding of that but what it does appear is that at least from the u.s. standpoint there is an attempt to try and reassure the nervous markets and vespers here in the united states and around the world who are watching this very carefully but as you reported the talks ended very abruptly before lunchtime here local time when most expected they would go all day and without a breakthrough or any sort of agreement now what we are hearing and this is being reported from china is global times editor that's a tabloid that is linked to the ruling communist party that there is in fact going to be further negotiation but that it is not going to take place inside the united states but instead from beijing this is something that certainly will boost those who are worried that the talks have ended completely and we know from treasury secretary sushma nugent's comments that he viewed these talks even though they ended soon of the most thought that he believed they were constructive this can be

as we've heard and fish is reported is a big gamble for the president because it's having an impact on u.s. consumers as well do you think this show time to work out a solution with the chinese. yeah there is the belief here in washington that there is still time but there's less hope and less optimism than i would say there was about 5 hours ago there was this feeling because the higher tariffs apply only to goods that leave china as of friday when these tariffs kicked in that there was still this opportunity given the fact that the shipments already en route to the united states would not be affected so the consumers would not feel the pain if you will that doesn't appear that that is going to be alleviated anytime soon and this is a political gamble for donald trump because this is going to hurt the farmers as ellen fisher reported this is going to hurt the industrial base these are

a solid part of donald trump's support in 2016 and that he needs in 2020 thank you very much for that can really help get reporting there live from the white house now shares you don't use a senior research fellow at the china institute of international studies in beijing he says both the u.s. and china have a lot to lose if the trade war continues. i guess that china will resume its. higher tariffs are u.s. products of agriculture products which accounts for a larger part of the u.s. trade with china and a lot of u.s. farmers a church depend on chinese a market and also chinese the chinese side may take measures against imports. in terms of its automobile and the parts that is also a big part of u.s. trade or with china we know all know that the chinese export to the u.s. is a much bigger now u.s.

export of china in terms of sheer trade volume and china of course cannot. match. the u.s. hired her father in chinese. goods hiver china is china is a huge market for us for united states not only in terms of goods but also a good and export of our higher technology so also china has a growing market for us that is a huge kind of leverage and so a lot of the u.s. business are actually very much concerned with a looming to resume trade war a major trade war between the 2 sides in other world news a saudi ship has sailed from france without picking up its cargo of weapons as cross a mine a magazine a european broadcast center for more on that my. yes that's right holly the

ship was due to pick up french weapons in the northern port have. left spain after protesters trying to have its cargo declared illegal rights groups say their weapons shipment contravenes international arms treaties over their use in a saudi military campaign in yemen paul brennan reports. the ship at the center of the latest saudi arms control the sea had spent thursday at anchor on the edge of french territorial waters the 225 meter bar a young who waited to enter port and load up its cargo of french weapons destined for the saudi military. in paris though 2 separate human rights groups had lodged legal challenges to try to have the shipment declared illegal and on the key side around 100 demonstrators assembled determined to take direct action to prevent the ship docking again or human says is a junior for syria the war in yemen is a difficult war we are turned into supporters of saudi arabia and if we the french

citizens do not act we don't try to stop this we will end accessories and service business we don't want this we don't want to be in this situation on. the 4 year long war in yemen has displaced more than 3000000 people and their strikes by the saudi led coalition forces have killed tens of thousands of civilians several european countries now refuse to sell arms to saudi because of that but france the world's 3rd biggest arms exporter says it's received guarantees from the saudis it's not it is i'm going to on your computer the majority of the arms that have been sold a used within the territory or at the border nevertheless i would like to say here the what we reiterated was the guarantee for them not to be used against civilian populations it's a position that human rights groups say is untenable or rolling off that. we can't trust those words why. because the story keeps changing we were told the arms

were only used for defensive purposes and all of a sudden we're being told we never said there weren't any french weapons being used in yemen we said we didn't have proof that french weapons were used to kill civilians so from his word is jibberish that we cannot trust what they say then without warning the bar a young departed without its controversial cargo ship tracking websites sure the vessel got on the way just before 10 g.m.t. on friday heading not for the hov but for the spanish port of suntan dare question now has the shipment been counseled or is the french government simply going to send it via another route paul brennan al-jazeera well and good h.l. is a security analyst and former french diplomat she joins us live now from paris thank you for taking the time to speak to us on the news hour and if i can just pick up on the point that paul is making at the end of his report that what now for this weapons shipment. well for the moment so i'm in

this to asian is not very clear don't. imagine the french grammar government has decided to conserve the the shipment it seems to be the fact that the no m. in the shipment has been moved to summers a place possibly going to spain in tucson than there but i'm in singh's iss it wouldn't. make any concessions that. shipment to be delivered to the sodium in they were just may be delayed a. delivery. there is a contract to deliver and so of course there is a political pressure under social pressure and the is very bad for the picture of france but the view as you have seen them in the president has

configured this and so from a lot from what you're saying that shipman as you say it's based on a contract and a commercial relationship and it is likely to be delivered perhaps by some other route how embarrassing is this for president macron. what you know for the moment i mean the official statement the french official statements say that ok we assume these contracts and we assume that the range and i mean we. know to deliver armaments to be used for killing civilians and. so the regime said that ok as there is no there is a guarantee that those armaments are the news for for that for that purpose so that the official statement and also you know there is have been the air

leak in the french made you.
