so when the newly elected any peace take up their position in the chamber their 1st task will be to elect a president of the european commission because. his days in the term are now numbered in just a few weeks then they'll have to decide on the shape and size of the european union's budget nearing 200000000000 dollars this year. talks between u.s. president donald trump and japan's prime minister shinzo are bare expected to focus on trade in north korea trump arrived in japan on saturday for a 4 day state visit earlier he and abbe played a round of golf at a resort outside tokyo where abby offered to try and defuse tensions with iran donald trump is also expected to meet the new japanese emperor. when he is live for us in tokyo when it seemed see president made it all about trade as soon as he arrived what does the u.s. want from japan. yes he certainly did soon

after arriving in tokyo he met with some much japanese business leaders spoke straight away about the big trade deficits that the united states has with japan and wanting a better deal he's mentioned this many times before the main area of focus recently from donald trump has been on the japanese auto industry he's threatening to increase tariffs on exports of japanese cars and trucks from here to the united states within 6 months if these trade negotiations with japan successful that would be of course a devastating blow to the auto industry here and he also wants the japanese companies to do more in the knotted states in the form of building more factories therefore hiring more american employees is also focusing on the agriculture sector as well u.s. spawn as producers want better access to the market here in japan for their

products ironically if they had stayed within the transpacific partnership multilateral trade deal that donald trump pulled the u.s. out of soon after he won the election then those farmers those producers in the u.s. would be getting better access to japanese markets right now he's already tweeted about trade actually out soon after the round of golf which in zoabi was completed saying great progress being made in the trade negotiations beef and agriculture heavily in play but it's not expected though having said all that that we will get any significant amount spent on this trade deal while donald trump is in japan and the u.s. president has also been tweeting wayne about north korea is that issue likely to be discussed as well. yes it was an interesting tweet actually sent that one out just before the round of golf on sunday morning with the japanese prime minister any reference straight away the 2 missile tests that north korea conducted earlier this month

a new type it seems of short range missile that north koreans test fired twice and he said north korea fired off some small way of ns which disturbed some of my people and others but not me perhaps in reference to his own national security adviser john bolton who spoke on saturday also in japan saying that those missile tests from north korea were clear violations of the united nations security council resolutions and that is something that the prime minister of japan shinzo out there had already said so perhaps some contradiction there perhaps some difference of opinion about which direction the united states and japan want to take but of course japan has so often been the attention the target of the aggression from north korea over the last few years so it has a big stake in how discussions on peace on the korean peninsula goes so i'm sure it will be very high on the agenda when the 2 leaders meet formally on monday when hand thank you and the u.s.

candidates algeria's constitutional council says none of the $77.00 hopefuls are eligible to take part. millions head to the polls across europe for the final day of voting in one of the world's largest elections. and i'm leah harding here with all of your sport the toronto raptors and just punch their ticket to the n.b.a. finals a 1st for canada and the franchise. gets happy with iraq's leaders are vowing to stand with iran after the united states ramps up the rhetoric against wasit kohls the iranian threat iraq's foreign minister mohammed al hakim says he rejects any unilateral action taken by the u.s. and. offered to mediate had he met his the reigning counterpart in baghdad's homage

i would say riffle signing a non-aggression pact with gulf neighbors he also called on the european union to do more to preserve the 2050 nuclear deal which trump withdrew from but for more on this let's cross live to charles stratford's in baghdad charles this is a massive show of support from iraq to iran is it not. yeah that's right i think it could be interpreted very much. as a massive support show of support but it's important to put this in context i think it's also an indication of just how delicate a situation the iraqis are as this crisis has unfolded and the tension between iran and the u.s. has escalated let's not forget that the iranians have had increasing interest influence on iraq basically since the fall of saddam hussein in 2003 and that is that influence has increased dramatically in recent years there's been

a lot of attention focused on what the americans call it rainy and proxies in this country the popular mobilization forces now these are rocky iran backed fighters around was believed tens of thousands of them in this country and they were so very effective in the fight against eisold they were institutionalized as part of the military and security operators in 2016 and they also are very heavily represented in governments there are parties and politicians that represents them too and that is something that's new that's happened as i say in the last couple of years now the u.s. has called these groups proxies we had to visit from the secretary of state mike pompei earlier this month saying that u.s. intelligence had what he described as increasing specific threats potentially against u.s. interests in this country and that was it wasn't hiding the fact that he was really

pointing the finger of a potential blame at these kind of groups. we also have the fact that the iraqis are so reliant on iran as a major trading partner around $12000000000.00 a year in bilateral trade the iraqis in the iranians recently this year saying they wanted to up that to around 20. $1000000000.00 a year so although this does show a sign of support for the iranians by the iraqis and of course the iraqis a a big u.s. ally as well i think the iraqis are well aware of what's at stake here and just what could happen and how dangerous it could be for this country if indeed there was any kind of military escalation between the u.s. and iran. chalcis not just iraq that iran is looking for supports here is it to iran is also reaching out to to regional neighbors. that's right

the iranian foreign minister saying that proposing that some as he described it a non-aggression pact was set up with gulf arab u.s. allies of course countries like saudi arabia the united arab emirates and culture indeed. have been very much at the forefront of ramping up the pressure with america on iran as this crisis has unfolded so yes the iranians they're reaching out a bit to try and diffuse the tension regionally and i think it's interesting to put that in the contest exactly of what's happening here in iraq as well the u.s. and its gulf allies have increasingly in recent years been trying to goad iraq away from its dependence on neighboring iran for example exxon mobil citing a $53000000000.00 deal with iraq to develop 2 major oil fields in the south a bit to try and take away iraq's reliance on iranian gas then you've had the

saudis opening up a consulate in baghdad this year diplomatic relations restarting with the saudis and the iraqis only in 2015 after having those those relations having stocks in 1990 you had increasing investments also by the country's here in iraq in a bid to try as i say pull the iranian influence or pull the iraqis away from the dependence on iran so again a huge indication of just what's at stake for this country a country that is struggling to recover after what can only be described as decades of war conflict and political instability ok charles stratford reporting from baghdad thank you for neither and let's stay with this as a member of the middle east sentence research committee at the london school of economics and joins us now live from london and we heard there. from charles

stratford about this delicate balancing act that is that iraq is caught and given a baghdad is so reliant on the u.s. just now how surprising a development is this that it's throwing supports behind iran well you have to understand that the influence of iran the presence on the ground is for iran the power on the grounds for iran and not for the united states this is the mistake of the united states of course of course since 2003 they left the door open for the iranians don't filtrate iraq and to strengthen their position while they were busy doing other things now this position was throwing things militarily and politically most important with the with the help of the militias the mop up mobilization political forces these are surrounding the whole government so you have to mean you have to expect. a number of the iraqi

governments to speak the languages when they meet their medicals they will tell them that we are supporting you but when they meet the iranian representatives they will tell them that we are backing you so this is because they feel the influence of these militias around them this is the reason why they give double busy the. speeches were given is double speeches he think this is going to change anything in this dynamic between iran and the u.s. right now. never never i think the government i mean entirely i should say prime minister. president of the republic under speaker of the parliament parliament are all. their affiliation are towards iran towards the united states already even the foreign minister is out but regarding the fact that he is talking while the foreign minister of iran standing beside him he tends to give such a speech such a talk such a warning but i think if anything happens the iraqi government will stand on the

side of the united states and how do you think this recent announcement is likely to play in iraq we have protesters on the streets just days ago urging the government to stay out of this dispute. well this this speech this talk this collaboration is intended to the iraqi street and to the militias that that are surrounding or that feeling that the streets of of iraq of course to propitiate iran as well and let them understand that these people are not totally with the americans but deep inside them i think deep inside the foreign minister that i don't think that he is that stance supporter of iran ok so joe rods are joining us there from london will have to leave it there thank you very much indeed for giving us your thoughts and analysis of president donald trump is facing criticism from across the political spectrum for using a perceived threat from iran to declare

a national security emergency that would allow billions in arms sales to saudi arabia and the emirates to go ahead with the 8 congressional approval but critics like democratic senator and presidential hopeful elizabeth warren say it poses a serious threat to civilians in yemen. she tweeted that it's revolting to suggest that we need to help the saudis kill civilians in order to stand up to iran iran the americans say she went on to say it's a president who cares more about it's making money for his defense contractor buddies and the democratic will of congress or the moral catastrophe in yemen not be as director of the center for middle east studies at the university of denver he claims that trumpet ministration is invoking a full threats in order to supports its allies i think there's several things that are happening one there is

a clear attempt to try and squeeze you're on to promote regime change in iran there's an internal white house battle over how to proceed but the other element of the story here is the war in yemen there's a lot of outrage a lot of anger in the united states particularly in congress over you know the humanitarian catastrophe there the use of american weapons to commit war crimes against yemeni civilians and so the truck administration wants to support its saudi and iraqi allies i mean these are these are very close and intimate tie between those 2 countries and the only way you can get around congressional oversight which you know wants to block these arms deals in fact you know there was a you know a joint resolution in both houses of congress trying to prevent these types of arms sales that was vetoed by the president so so treacherous evoking this you know false threat laying the blame on iran which is an easy you know bogey to invoke to get around congressional oversight to stick to a think existing policy that is supporting the saudi policy in yemen you know to

the end right or wrong the united states under a truck wants to back that policy. no no one has managed to register successfully to stands in algeria as upcoming presidential elections in july dozens of candidates said they intended to run for the top job but virtually all of them failed to get the required number of signatures sattar hideouts reports july the 4th is a proposed date of algeria's presidential election but it doesn't have any candidate so far the constitutional council has declared that almost all of the 77 candidates don't meet the legal requirements to take part candidates from the future front party a national republican party withdrew their applications calling for the election to be delayed and for the creation of an independent election monitoring body heal the or thought.
