still isn't enough information about what happened. what happened at the pole to pajero is still vague unclear but it seems there are some in the region that want to drag trump into a war and we're dealing with the issue with a strong mind towards our historic responsibilities i think the talk about explosions in just a hasty scenario and it suffers many shortcomings whoever stands behind this is pushing for a failed plan after a closed session of parliament on tuesday morning another senior m.p. said israel may also be behind the alleged attack as a sort of false flag operation to turn up the heat on iran. neither side has offered any evidence of their claims and this is all happening as iran and the united states exchange strong words but prepared. earlier this month president hassan rouhani announced iran's plans to roll back cooperation of the 2050 nuclear deal as well as look at restarting enrichment

7 drones belonging to the air force of yemen attacked the pumping station this relates to the strategic pipeline that carries oil from east to west in saudi arabia it was a successful operation we found assistance from people living in saudi arabia and we had excellent intelligence the attack is seriously damaged the economy of the enemy. and un brokered talks between who theory rebels and representatives of yemen's government are taking place in jordan the u.n. says who 3 rebels are withdrawing from 3 major ports as agreed under a cease fire signed last year this began on saturday as part of what's known as phase one of peace efforts to end the 4 year civil war gone trump insists economic talks with china have not collapsed calling the trade war between the world's 2 largest economies a little squabble the u.s.

president says a trade agreement is still possible that china wants to strike a deal in new tariffs imposed by both washington and beijing has rattled global markets the last round of talks between chinese and u.s. trade officials ended on friday with the 2 sides unable to reach a compromise. we're having a little wobble with china because we've been treated very unfairly for many many decades for actually a long time and yet have been handled a long time ago it wasn't handle it now i think it's going to be i think it's going to turn out extremely well we're in a very strong position we are the piggy bank that everybody likes to take advantage of or take from and we can't let that happen anymore. there's been a slow growth in china's economy in april even before high u.s. trade tariffs took effect growth slowed to 5.4 percent last month that's

a drop from 8.5 percent growth in march for more on this let's join adrian brown is live for us from beijing so what are officials saying explaining about why growth has slowed down the. well as you say these figures are i think very concerning for for china's government especially the drop in consumer spending in april the worst figure for 16 years and that tells us that consumer confidence is not good at the moment in china and that's a worry from china's government because it's been trying to convert its economy from one based on manufacturing to one based on consumption also down in april manufacturing and output which fell from 8.5 percent to 5.4 percent again worrying epona economic statistics and of course what comes to mind is if the

figures are bad now what could they be like you know $23.00 months from now if a trade war is still going on and those tariffs have started to kick in well meanwhile president xi jinping has been addressing a conference here in beijing he's been talking to the dialogue of asian civilizations it's a conference that's all about asia for asians very much another example of sort of chinese soft power one of the themes there's been how china's rise in the past few years has not been a threat to the existing world order and president xi jinping in his speech said that all civilizations are equal and although he didn't mention the united states by name it's worth noting what he did say he said that if someone thinks his civilization and race is superior than others and stubbornly tries to change or even replace other organise civilizations it's stupid and disastrous well i wonder

who he had in mind when he said those words mean well in state media here in china the the tone is still very strident in the reporting of the trade war and for the 1st time in several months the media is referring directly to a trade war as opposed to. trade tensions but not naming president from not blaming president or american people but blaming the american government for the situation we're now in now of course president from president xi jinping argue to meet at the g 20 summit in osaka at the end of june but of course what we won't know by then is just how serious the damage has been to the relationship and whether that damage is going to be you know permanent. time will tell i guess thanks so much adrian brown . so head on al-jazeera they will not put us down on this right as offices in the the remains defiant down to being shot ounce of parliament will tell you why people
