loyal to are iran or russia and so what leaders in the house and senate again both republican and democrat are saying is that we have to know exactly what the policy in posture of united states is going to be in the coming days and months as it pertains to syria the stakes are just too high when you look at the security issues on the ground when you look at u.s. national security interests that have to be protected the founder of speaking out for the 1st time since the u.s. blacklisted it. says the chinese tech giant will not be impacted by washington's sanctions and introduced measures that make it almost impossible for a to do business in the u.s. and so marks come just days after google announced its plans to cut ties with the company. although this time we're on the blacklist our own company won't be affected by it but the u.s. is a country with the rule of law u.s.

united states to go to jail so he may well feel that he has no hope that the u.s. and canadian justice systems are going to give him what he wants which is the freedom of his daughter and of course she was detained more than 6 months ago and it's another facet to these multifaceted story so adrian also china's president has and visiting a rare earth mind what do we know about what we read into that. well this is a very powerful bit of symbolism from china's president he's been touring the southeast of the country and before he visited that mine he also laid a wreath at a monument that marks the start of the great march here in china one of the most important moments in the history of china's communist party this year of course the chinese communist party is a 100 years old but what was significant is that standing beside him during this

wreath laying was none other than lu her who's been leading the chinese negotiating team in the 11 rounds of negotiations with the united states so it proves that in spite of those talks failing lou her still has pride of place now the fact that president xi visited a rare earths mine was a reminder that china controls 90 percent of the world's supply of rare earths now the united states has said that you know surprise surprise rare earths will be excluded from tariffs placed by the u.s. but perhaps cheating paying was sending out another message and it's this we could actually hold the delivery of the reverse that the united states also needs for its economy i write a train for hour at the latest from beijing adrian thank you order has been restored to the capital tripoli you don't recognize government blamed fighters loyal to work only for half tar or cutting off the un said the cut off could amount

know is that he has done enough to govern in his own right the scale of the victory is even greater than it's appeared to be on saturday what that means in practice is that scott morrison and his party have a free reign to do what they like when it comes to for example policy on tax they want lower taxes it's an equal richer australians less action on climate change than the would have been had the labor party won the election because action on climate change is seen by his policy scott morrison as economically damaging and the be no change either to australia's tough border protection policies refugees trying to come to australia by boat will still be sent to remote saw islands on top of a new guinea's mount a saw and all on the route but it also means that the hundreds of men still languishing on the particular will probably have to stay there long said to be despair sought and among them scott morrison would have a completely free rein when it comes to legislation he still needs to get new laws through the senate the upper house of. in that way doesn't have a majority nevertheless his party is in a stronger position now than it was even

deeper cuts of $8000.00 workers or about 15 percent of its salaried workforce they're facing similar industry pressures and those companies are regearing for an era in which perhaps people aren't buying so many cars but perhaps hiring self driving cars to take them where they want to go on a regular basis and all of this happens is those companies have been hit by tariffs the trumpet ministration has said on steel and other metals that has cost ford alone about a $1000000000.00 over the past year and to put that in perspective the company is saving about $600000000.00 with the cuts that it is announced on monday that doesn't get you quite to the $1000000000.00 the company has paid in terrorist for importing the metals it needs to make those cars so the tariffs have been bad news on top of a rough year for the automakers but israel's president nicolas maduro has proposed holding early elections for the opposition controlled national assembly the next
