exactly and he's of done this before of course but the difference this time is that he is actually sounding more urgent about this breaking down of nuclear agreements 1st of all we of course have the intermediate nuclear forces 3 teeth that sort of collapsed this year after the americans pulled out of it blaming the russians for not upholding the agreement and then of course we have the other agreement the only one still standing globally and that's the new start treaty and that one is going to collapse or finish by 2021 so putin has been urging the americans to come to the table and renegotiate that deal many times before and now he says nobody is talking to me so basically is urging the americans to speed up this process during the visit of from my home page you here to russia a couple of weeks ago there seemed to be a little room there also said that there is not a treaty needed so that was basically kind of a breakthrough but hearing from put into words earlier when he was talking to the

heads of global news agencies nothing has been happening since that the u.s. is causing this forum even though other world leaders including of course going to be a president xi jinping there why is that. yes there's a huge chinese delegation here but the american official delegation is not here they are boycotting the event where they normally actually really have quite a presence because one of the businessman a very long term u.s. and faster in russia has been arrested in february on charges of fraud which he says are being fabricated he's now since them put on house arrest and he has actually asked to come to this forum some something that he regularly dusts so far we don't know if he's actually going to appear that will happen tomorrow kremlin said he should be here which of course would give a very good sign but until now we don't know and of course kremlin says we can't interfere in. basically the reason of course that this is important in fact that we

shocked by his case and it shows. russia which of course has also let. many other russian people. step any thanks stuck fast in their reporting live from st petersburg this is the news hour from al-jazeera still to come on the program. desperation at the border trade talks between mexico and the us continues. a man believed to be germany's deadliest post-war serial killer is sentenced. and later in sport things get worse for this brazilian star as he suffers another injury ahead of the copa america details coming up with our latest. world leaders are in france paying tribute to the soldiers sailors and crew killed

on d.-day 75 years ago the french and u.s. presidents want to fly past over the beaches of normandy and president britain's prime minister laid the 1st stone of a new war memorial let's cross live now to natasha who's in normandy for us so the commemorations come at a time when the u.s. and the european union have been so distant. what have been the messages of the leaders. well we had this commemoration with the french president emmanuel mark hall side by side with the u.s. president so donald trump at the colleville so mass cemetery a cemetery overlooking a more heart beach one of the 5 and the d.-day landing beaches where those tens of thousands of soldiers americans canadians but many other nations poles check south africans came ashore and began what was an operation to liberate not only frogs but europe it was a very moving ceremony attended by many veterans donald trump who often uses

international events to perhaps inject some of his own personal opinions on politics i actually didn't choose to do so at this time he recalled that history he paid homage to the veterans in my home our call on the other hand did he use his speech to remind about the dangers of nationalism and talk about his multi-national fish of the world is something that has put him in all this with donald trump over the last year donald trump with his america 1st policy and i know michael reminding his audience to the people they're listening and donald trump especially you might imagine that international institutions agreements and alliances are important are important for international security division means to see the film vivah we must never allow the alliance of free peoples to die that's what the victors did as soon as germany and japan capitulated when they created the united nations it's what the united states did when they created nato it's what european leaders did a few years later when they created the european union we must refine the meaning

of the promise of normandy we must seize again this engagement what we owe to our country what we owe to our alliance of states that share the same values democracy and freedom. well the 2 leaders were very adamant that the franco american alliance continues to be strong the office the deejay's a very strong example of an example of international collaboration collaboration between these 2 sides but the cracks with sony starting to show a bit later when trump and michael held talks in call in vermont they'll be talking about a range of issues iran the climate change deal that we're talking about trade what they call terrorism and it was clear from some of the comments they made just before going into those talks that they are on very opposing sides mark frustrated with the u.s. for pulling out of the climate deal for pulling out of the iran deal for threatening to pull out of nato donald trump very frustrated with. over issues like

trade so it seems that that franco american alliance of the 2 is saying is still so strong is quite fragile right now natasha many thanks indeed al-jazeera and sasha butler reporting live from normandy. the united nations security council is due to hear about last month's oil tanker attacks off the coast of the united arab emirates and saudi arabia and norwegian diplomats are expected to make an informal briefing iran rejects accusations that iranian mine is likely course the tank of damage saudi arabia is reported to have improved its ballistic missile capability by buying technology from china a us media report cites 3 unnamed sources for the previously unreported classified intelligence it describes a suspected missile factory west of the capital riyadh president donald trump is accused of not disclosing the a televisions to congress which is infuriating democrats as trump refuses to rule out military action with iran the saudi missile

report heightens concerns of a middle east arms race china correspondent adrian brown reports now from beijing. the comments from china's foreign ministry were significant on thursday because earlier this year the chinese government denied helping saudi arabia develop its missile technology but now on thursday a spokesman for the foreign ministry confirmed that actually the cooperation between china and saudi arabia in this area was now quite strong china has been selling missile technology to saudi arabia since the late eighty's that was when it sold them the dung fung 3 medium range missile then a few years ago china sold the saudi arabians the dung func $21.00 long range missile and that was part of an arms package worth more than $100000000000.00 so it's quite clear that saudi arabia is becoming a very important customer for chinese arms and of course the united states also

sells a lot of arms to saudi arabia now the foreign ministry media briefing on thursday i asked the spokesman. how china was helping saudi arabia develop its ballistic missiles program it was interesting there was like a a 15 2nd delay between my question and his answer as he looked on his desk to find his prepared answer because this was a question he was expecting here's what he had to say. the chinese government has always opposed the use of weapons of mass destruction as well as their proliferation trying to has been very strict with its export of missile technology china and saudi arabia are strategic cooperation partners we've maintained good cooperation in many fields including the arms trade and this cooperation does not violate any international law and does not involve any proliferation issues of weapons of mass destruction so what china was essential ysaye in on thursday was this the weapons that china sells to saudi arabia are not defined by china as being

weapons of mass destruction are china right now is the world's 5th. the largest arms exports are the middle east is becoming an increasingly important market for china and of course when it comes to the middle east china has pulled off something of a country trick because it has very good relations with saudi arabia very good relations with iran and very good relations with israel u.s. vice president mike pence says the trade talks with mexico are progressing well but insists that the mexican government should do more to curb immigration at the border the u.s. has threatened to impose tariffs on mexico if it doesn't limit the flow of migrants mexico's president says that reaching an agreement is in the best interests of both countries let's go live now to washington our white house correspondent kimberly how could can tell us more even presidents trump president trump own party members in congress against these new tariffs on mexico tell us more complete. yeah

they're against them but the president is for them he reiterated that in about the last 12 hours or so on twitter saying once again that he is prepared to put in place those tariffs 5 percent starting out but increasing every month by 5 percent up to 25 percent on mexican goods into the united states is really downplaying the impact that his party republican party says would have on u.s. consumers u.s. businesses in fact in one of these tweets that he sent out he said the fact he would see that american companies would move back to the united states's supposedly were suggesting perhaps that that would create more american jobs the president is firm on his promises of 2016 campaign promise of course we're going to 2020 presidential election that he needs to deliver on cutting down the illegal migration into the united states that's something that he needs to deliver on for his his supporters he has done this in a number of ways already in terms of declaring national emergency along the border in order to get funding to for his border wall now we're seeing the 2nd

manifestation of that in potentially using emergency powers to get this funding or rather to get put in place tariffs now this is something that many say could be potentially illegal the president may not be able to do it and adding to that he doesn't have the support of his party still he says he's pressing on the vice president says that the president has a firm desire to bring the crisis of illegal immigration to an end for its part mexico says that they are hoping to avoid a confrontation these discussions will continue at the state department but at the same time they are preparing for these tariffs that could go in place as early as next week white house correspondent kimberly how could reporting live from washington kimberly many thanks in sri lanka m.p.'s investigating the easter sunday church and hotel bombings have been told the group peace had warnings were received including one just before the attacks happened 12 members special parliamentary committee heard how the directress station intelligence made phone calls warning

the question is now what exactly was done about these things we've also had the police chief talking about all the information that was available he's also basically told the select committee that the president repeatedly asked him to resign going as far as to say that he was offered an ambassador post in exchange for his resignation so as we continue with the hearing we've also got the former defense secretary here mr him a sort of financial who will go before the committee shortly. thailand's prime minister has called for national unity after the parliament voted for him to stay on as its leader the vote complete school leader prior transition from a military general to civilian to a civilian leader the country has had as a civilian government now for the 1st time since a coup in 2014 but the opposition says the military is still in charge when hey reports now from bangkok. after more than 11 hours of debating and voting

thailand's parliament finally elected a prime minister for the next 4 years. general prayuth chan a chair receives more than half the vote from the house of representatives which means he has been chosen as the new prime minister. but he's not new at all. is the army general who led a coup to remove a democratically elected government in 2014 and has been prime minister ever since . much of his support in the parliamentary vote came from senators in the upper house who were handpicked by the military it wasn't surprising therefore that they all voted for prior to continue as thailand's leader. the only other contender was a man seen as the new face of thai politics talent on june room run kit led his young future forward party to 3rd place in march's election the 1st since the coup he's now vowing to be a strong opposition voice continuing to fight for democracy and human rights.

to rule with impunity many of the same people are still in charge of the new civilian government but the now answerable to coalition partners and constituents and after being largely silenced since the coup the opposition parties can now speak freely one of their 1st jobs may be to table a vote of no confidence in the prime minister who they view as illegitimate wayne hey al jazeera bangkok in germany a nurse who murdered dozens of his patients with lethal injections has been sentenced to life in prison meals hogle is thought to be one of the world's worst serial killers hogle is known to have killed 85 people. police suspect though that he may have selected more than 200 victims a random al-jazeera is done when it came reports from berlin in passing its verdict on new year's hogle the court said that the crimes he committed for a particular gravity of guilt in other words that he could not expect this life sentence to have any parole that he would spend the rest of his life in custody

point here is that he has been in custody already for 14 years having been arrested 1st in the middle of the last decade in 2005 the point with these 85 he had already admitted last year many of these charges saying he had killed these people but he couldn't couldn't recall entirely all the details of the cases for the families of his victims this does bring finality they now know that german law has found this man guilty of killing their loved one but for the prosecution in this case they now say they want to focus their attentions on those in the hospitals where mr hogle worked what was their role were they in some sense culpable for allowing him to carry out the activities that he did this. everything but the kitchen sink weather wise in the u.s. right now here to tell us more beach roll or just staff told us to frank's ajor and yes plenty of thunderstorms some of them bringing rain but some of them bringing
