one advisor who advocated strongly for war 16 years ago now has an even more powerful position john bolton is president trumps national security adviser but this time around as he builds a case against iran he finds even less international support than the u.s. had for its campaign against saddam hussein carne ross is a former british diplomat who resigned over the iraq war. it had far more diplomatic cover and it had support from the u.k. and other allies i mean the coalition in support of the invasion of 2003 you know may not have included france but it included a lot of other countries who reluctantly or willingly and willingly went along. diplomatic efforts to create such a coalition have not happened in this case there are also big differences between saddam hussein's brutal regime and the current leadership in iran which arguably
8:03 am
has much greater capacity to fight back across the entire region from the late 1990 s. veteran diplomat richard butler headed the u.n. weapons inspection team that worked in iraq comparison with what they would face today a horse of a completely different color iran is far stronger far more capable far more culturally and historically determined then the hussein regime in iraq by 2003 the goal of the u.s. was regime change toppling saddam hussein and his government 16 years on donald trump is a president who campaigned on removing the us from foreign wars even if he wanted to carry out regime change against iran he doesn't have enough troops in the region the real risk right now according to diplomats in international capitals and here at the u.n. is the rise in rhetoric and the risk of miscalculation james 0 at the

8:05 am
immediately reverse course and allow al-jazeera to operate freely a united nations spokesman has also commented on the recent developments in sudan and the impact on media freedom we are concerned about some of the recent tensions we want to make sure. the coming days that all the fundamental rights and liberties of the people are fully respected and that would include freedom of expression of course and in that regard of course we want to make sure that all media are able to do their work in sudan without harassment john henry is the associate director of the africa team at human rights watch and she says attempts to stop media coverage is reminiscent of the previous government. restriction of the press was one of the hallmarks of the last regime under mara bashir and it is one of the many reasons why protesters had grievances and took to the streets in
8:06 am
the 1st place among the many human rights problems in sudan that has been one of them it's just the recent days that we've seen some worrisome signs and the closure of one of them in the last couple of days there's been violence and we've heard of a couple of people having been killed from that violence and so that does definitely signal the possibility that more could come and we've seen protesters recently issued a statement warning that that could happen. and urging the authorities protect the rights of protesters to continue so it really is a day by day situation we all should be watching it carefully and sending the message to the authorities to make sure that this violence stops. as a member of a nonviolent resistance movement in sudan he says journalism in general is now
8:07 am
under threat. you moving the freedoms of press and trying to have the world not see what's happening is a b c s and that i think is a turning point because what happened after april 11th and the collapse of the government is suddenly the government allowed journalists from all over the world to the citizen to come to sudan to cover this and for them now to decide that no the world doesn't need to see this anymore is a sign for us that some things are changing and we're going back to them a crackdown on evidence and we're actually getting ready for a crackdown on the protests there i mean what's happening with the negotiation between the. declaration for freedom and change her talking from the point of the protesters with the transitional move to cancel they reached a point where we're suppose to have a civilian government and they reached a point where they are not moving forward as their friends somebody council is going to give up power to the civilians or they're not going to do it and now we're more than 55 days into the sit in and we're thinking that now is the time or we
8:08 am
have to go back to fighting this government in another way because they're not giving the military doesn't want to give up power so we were like waiting for them to give up power and if they were serious about giving up power they were not going to do a crackdown on the media so we're like worried now. algerians have returned to the streets calling for interim president saleh to step down hundreds of thousands rallied in cities across the country for the 15th consecutive friday there were reports of several arrests but protests were largely peaceful demonstrators are unhappy having an ally of former president of a leading the government elections are due to be held in july. and un rights experts has warned against the extradition of wiki leaks founder julian assange to the u.s. saying he's suffering psychological torture the 47 year old missed a court hearing in london on thursday because of ill health he's fighting an

to abortions now the need from planned parenthood says restricting access to the clinic will prevent access to quality health care for women the only people getting between patients and high quality care right now are the politicians in apartment how they are instituting the requirements like an extra invasive pelvic b.m. for political or not and it's not good for people of health and safety to have the politicians and bureaucrats pretty and all these other theories up to date here and it's going to be clear about that and anti abortion protesters sat outside the missouri planned parenthood clinic in support of its closure it's all by the. united states to bring in a few things i. like. protesters in the capital of honduras have set fire to the entrance of the u.s. embassy mosques demonstrators set a pile of tires ablaze before soldiers were called in thousands of teachers and

8:16 am
but is still there the suspect is the flooding from the big rivers right in the middle part of the u.s. now if you talk about the bit more range is the case maybe in the midwest and than through kansas than that can only get worse not better but beyond that it looks quite nice and spring like at long last year 2430 new york down to washing it in toronto with 60 which is some improvement at least $32.00 in dallas warmish further west a few showers up in the mountain states you say but principally we still will be looking for violent activity probably the plains states down towards texas but there's not a huge amount in evidence chicago 17 in the sunshine is probably very pleasant more rain still to come for toronto dropping science from the u.s. or the caribbean that has been wet here recently a few a shower to get his pioneer in the next day or so but you can't want matter altogether the concentration of rain may well be a nascent developing circulation in southern mexico or near san salvador and

8:19 am
minister is heading to washington for talks on the taxes which trump says will stay in place until illegal immigration is stopped. the u.s. secretary of state has visited germany to push washington's hard line policy against iran it's the 1st stop on a 4 nation european toll but doesn't back the u.s. approach to terror on and favors the 2015 nuclear agreement. chinese tariffs on $60000000000.00 worth of u.s. goods have come into effect and the latest development in a trade war between washington and beijing that's taking a toll on america's midwest many farmers are struggling as the dispute escalates but for now many of them continue to support president donald trump john hendren reports from colfax in the state of illinois. as the u.s. administration plans a hit in each trade war with china american farmers say they're getting crushed between the world's 2 largest economies we grew
8:20 am
a record soybean crop record corn crop and then you take the fact that our largest buyer just disappeared you know we created a huge indian stockpile. it is it's going to take years to eat through it not to mention we tripled what we normally carry china's retaliatory tariffs on corn soybeans imported hit their mark american farmers deep in trunk country across the midwest are suffering this is private and one of the toughest years that i've experienced in my 40 plus years of farming are bankers i'm starting to get nervous next year is going to be. a tough time and some farmers are not going to get their operating loans they're not going to pay off their operating loans from this year and they're not going to be able to get credit to put a crop out next year for the 2nd straight year president trump signed a bailout for american farmers this time $16000000000.00 worth but that won't bring back lost markets buyers who've moved on to other sellers their silos are full of
8:21 am
surplus crops that oversupply his tank prices for corn and soybeans farm income levels are half what they were 5 years ago across the midwest corn and soybean farmers are filing for bankruptcy in numbers not seen for more than a decade and losing their patients i'd like to see that light at the end of the tunnel and know when things are going to turn around and get better so you your patience is wearing a little thing if you're still a little yeah this year farmers are dealing with high tariffs low prices and now historic rains that have left their fields flooded but while china's terrorists are striking their intended targets they have not achieved their goal of turning the farmers who are among president trump strongest supporters against the president is it fair to say that farmers still by and large support president trump i think that's fair we believe that the president is doing the right thing to live on a farm as an old agrarian saying has it used to be schooled in patience for now
8:22 am
those laboring behind america's plows seem willing to wait a little longer john hendren al-jazeera colfax illinois. well now let's speak to adam triggs in canberra he's the director at the asian bureau of economic research at israeli national university so adam trump is clearly holding on to many of his supporters for now at least what does he want is this about trade with china or is this about the upcoming us election well that's the key question is how does and really depends on how donald trump defines success if you define success as being a situation where china agrees to buy more of the u.s. exports perhaps opens up some of those industries to u.s. companies then that something new can be achieved in that something that china is came to do if however he measures success as being a reduction in the u.s. trade deficit which is something he's commented on several times that's more problematic basic economics tells you that the reason the u.s.
8:23 am
runs a trade deficit is because it borrows a lot internationally to finance investment at home do as with china won't change those dynamics if that is measure of success then we might have a lot longer to go and as you say he does appear to be using this politically so he might use this for the 2020 presidential election if that's the case then the trade war i think we just had our one year anniversary we might have a bit more to go and i'm let me ask you about who is bearing the brunt of these tensions we've now heard about some of the producers who are suffering but how are u.s. and chinese consumers holding up. well that's the key point the i.m.f. the international monetary fund released a report recently where they showed that the producer prices on chinese goods were changing as a consequence of u.s. tariffs what they found is that the cost of u.s. tyrus was being borne almost entirely by u.s.
8:24 am
consumers that's the golden rule around tariffs and trade restrictions as they are at the end of the day a tax on your own citizens particularly low income citizens who are more susceptible to changes in price so when we talk about the u.s. is tariffs and when we talk about china's retaliations our advice is to stop damaging your own countries in your own citizens the impact on the other is much smaller than the impact here at home well adam the g. 20 is just around the corner might that be an opportunity to try to deescalate some of these tensions. well hopefully it is next month you know soccer and japan is hosting this year from argentina's host last year there was a promise that they would reform the world trade organization this is a huge opportunity to reform the trading rules and the w t o which are both horribly out of date indeed it's because the trading rules are so out of date that's the source of the tensions between the u.s.
8:25 am
and china the trading rules don't cover things like intellectual property or to a large extent they don't cover digital trade cross border trade and cover behind the border measures subsidies state owned enterprises these are the sources of tension so there's a huge opportunity for japan and the g 20 to bring the u.s. and china together and to do meaningful reform sadly what i'm hearing out of japan is it seems as though that's unlikely you're not seeing a lot of ambition coming up to the g 20 at this stage which means that this might continue on for some time at intrigues from the asian bureau of economic research at the australian national university thanks for your insights on out there and now a new effort is underway to identify more than 100 victims from the 1902 mass killing during the bosnian war they were among more than 200 civilians shot dead and dumped in a ravine by a bosnian sad police units have taken any 3 decades have been many of their remains
8:26 am
and return them to their families for proper burial paul brennan reports in the garden of his home in term napoleon 78 year old passes his retirement in silence his 2 sons emin amir were in the early twenties when they were both killed at kota chinese cliffs after 27 years we've now been told that their remains have finally been found. a jewel bone was found turtle 12 years ago but they didn't know which of them it belonged to now the food remains were found in that musgrave. i mean and they are exempt from a site known as the stone mass grave the corpses were hidden under a thick layer of rocks in august 1902 a group of more than 200 bosniak men were transported to the edge of the ravine made to kneel and then shot dead by police the corpses are only now being recovered their head in father ferritin was one of the victims who have now been identified
8:27 am
he will be buried in july. evasion or simply the most part it's all about who was found and who wasn't have the people responsible for the crimes being prosecuted why some didn't get more prison time those sorts of things haunt us taylor fix faces having to say goodbye to his brother all over again he already buried some of his bones found at current china cliffs now a significant portion of the rest of the skeleton has been identified yet this. is not easy but this time around is stronger still i thought i was done with this 5 years ago i guess this time i'll get actual closure. on 6 umed the bones offer and sickly examined at the center 112 sets of remains are currently awaiting final identification here the final number of newly identified victims will reach 18180 people whose relatives have spent nearly 3 decades wondering. with this thought we
8:28 am
have here remains of slain sons and their parents siblings neighbors all kept it together this is in the way a unique situation you could say that this was a family. each victim has a story who is a senator joe was a teacher. teaches senator was killed by one of his former students and there was another one of his old students who found his remains committed the crime and the other one did a good deed. in 2004 the leader of the police unit which carried out the massacre was convicted of crimes against humanity and sentenced to 17 years in prison but it's only now that these victims can be properly buried that their families can have closure paul brennan al-jazeera a new memorial has been unveiled a new york honoring those still suffering from the 911 attacks an estimated half a 1000000 people were exposed to the toxic dust that filled the air for months afterwards hundreds of fast responders have since died from related illnesses
8:29 am
christensen he reports from you. in the park where the twin towers once stood the unveiling of the new memorial highlights the lingering impact of the september 11th attacks particularly on 1st responders nearly 400 of them have died from 911 related illness so far thousands more are sick at the ceremony they are mixed with dignitaries amid the slanted stones meant to honor them bridget gormley father william was a firefighter whose company was one of the 1st on the scene that day everybody initially had the 911 cough the world trade center cough it wasn't until 2016 though that he was diagnosed with bladder cancer that killed him 6 months later this is shifting the narrative to where i need to be shifted not as what has what happened but what is happening. the gormley family is still waiting for payment
8:30 am
from the victims compensation fund which was set up to help survivors you won't see any names written on this memorial that's because the list of sick and dying is still growing and could soon eclipse the nearly 3000 people who were killed on september 11th that as funds that were set aside by congress to help victims are drying up. it's estimated as many as a half 1000000 people were exposed to the toxic dust that filled the air for months after the attack and it's not just 1st responders who are getting sick but also those who volunteered went to school or worked in the area the bearish mcgarry law firm now represents 12000 people from all over the country whose illness has been linked to 911 exposure and they say they hear from the new victims every day we're seeing many people in the 911 community who have not one but 2 and 3 cancers doctors tell me they have never seen this before in february officials overseeing
8:31 am
the victims' fund announced they were running out of money and would have to drastically cut payouts to victims but advocates are already pushing congress for more fun down we belonged to on september 16th 2001 when we were told there was a fight where the water was safe to drink and yet now with fighting for health care and compensation from the government. the very government who lied to us a government that promised to never forget the horror and courage seen that day and a community who with this memorial is promising to remind them kristen salumi al jazeera new york. now another story on emergency workers this time in south africa where violence against ambulance crews has become so rife they have to rely on armed guards for protection but that means longer waiting times for patients in poor communities and the latest in our series on 1st responders for me tim miller joins paramedics and one of the so-called red zones in the western cape and
8:32 am
a warning this story contains images that some viewers might find disturbing. even though paramedics dk abrams begins his night shift with a prayer for safety. he works to save lives but often his own is at risk in areas in cape town so dangerous he needs to police protection. the 1st call of the night comes from mitchell's plane where a woman says she's been physically assaulted the crime rate this video is physically the late the it's the worst it's normally what you do is load and go but we don't have a choice now because the world begins when we have to get a stabilized as the crowd grows the police keep a close watch the need for security is an all too familiar reality for city patna susan we have a big bank and when we ran outside to we saw that people were breaking into our
8:33 am
vehicle 2nd incident and we to call people see that we kind of like and they started attacking mark carney and a friendship he's just another crew heads to what's known as a red zone an area of high crime paramedic candace mox can only respond when police arrive this is hanover park overcrowded poor and riddled with violence they don't put the lights on. the 3 or 4 things that for this attack move people to the scene of. the incident he's you know this guy was standing so they would feel like people that maybe it was you with a patient in one year there were more than $280.00 attacks and paramedics in cape town alone most of these neighborhoods are in the red so swear paramedics say they're increasingly and destroy it often they're held at gun.
