which will be processed over there but is way lower in the peruvian consulate. this may slow down but not stop the stampede fueled by venezuela's increasingly dire economic and political crisis which is why latin american governments are raising the alarm and asking the rest of the international community to share the burden of the biggest refugee crisis ever seen in the americas to see in human are just sita santiago talks between the united states and mexico to stave off tower of said dragging on is a battle over a u.s. demands on migration president trump says there's a good chance they'll reach a deal but the white house is pushing ahead with a plan to impose a 5 percent towers on all mexican goods from monday and it says that could increase of mexico doesn't stem the flow of migrants over the border mexico has promised to deploy thousands of national guard troops along the border but u.s. negotiators say the 2 sides have still not reached an agreement talks are set to

resume on saturday. president trump has threatened to raise mexico's tariffs by an additional 5 percent each month until it hits 25 percent in october if mexico doesn't act to halt like once crossing into the u.s. the move would have major implications for consumers on both sides mexico's the world's biggest exporter of beer selling $3600000000.00 worth to the u.s. last year a 5 percent tariff would cost its beer industry almost $200000000.00 a year last year the u.s. imports are almost $30000000000.00 of agricultural products like avocados and tomatoes from mexico a 5 percent levy would cost mexican agriculture an estimated $1400000000.00 a year rising to almost 7000000000 if the 25 percent tariff is applied and in the us shop price increases are expected on new cars and trucks as mexico is the largest source of american auto parts. that's now told to john heilemann isn't up

a chewed on next to mexico's border with iran we know that the government there had a plan to deploy troops to reinforce the border in a bid to try and pacify the white house what have you been seeing why you are shown . well as for those troops that 6000 elements of the national guard that were meant to be sent down here there's a bit of confusion about that they're not here right now and we've been talking to people from mexico security ministry and they've been telling us that they won't be here until a deal is reached with the united states when i think everyone else had understood before that that they were going to be sent imminently so that's a little bit of a change of what you're seeing right now is to be a migration checkpoint to check people come through that's been here for about a month the migration officials say here are telling us and that's because mexico was already feeling the heat before president trump announced his his tariff right

here and it was who would be trying to do things to head off sort of u.s. and growth the amount of migrants we're getting through not just in the month of april in mexico effort like a for which you can see the man there the bar checking people's documents had succeeded and then 80 percent increase in detentions of people from central america honduras el salvador guatemala mostly fleeing violence fleeing poverty there an 80 percent increase in the detention and that their protection of those people from the same month in the year before so this is something that makes those been trying to get to grips with recently but it hasn't been enough for president trump another number gives you a clue to why it hasn't been enough when you take the number of people that been taped detained and deported to mexico this year 5 times our number still being picked up on the u.s. border which means a lot more people are still getting through and that's why president trump is

overseeing using quite a blunt instrument terrorists to try and hold to that situation and john and to interesting because we have seen in the past few days this option this concept surfacing about a safe. 3rd country but effectively this would mean that mexico accepts asylum seekers that would otherwise want to claim asylum in the united states now what would that mean for a country like mexico. thus the big burden of contention right now because mexico's already always resisted being that 3rd safe country that option it would mean that they would hope in mexico a lot of people from guatemala know if you've been sent back from the united states or just stopping here in mexico either way they did up here rob with them in the u.s. and obviously when you look at mexico it's suffering record levels of violence right now it's gangs operating in several parts of the country who really sort of enjoy

preying on the vulnerable migrants that passed through so having most scope is a safe country for these people already living their own homeland is quite a bizarre my fear really when you're actually reporting from which called for thank you very much john heilemann with all the latest there in tampa chula thank you john well as mexico steps up its efforts to stop migrants and avoid damaging trade tariffs we look at how climate change is driving many guatemalans abroad that story coming up later in the news hour also looking at why electric scooters are proving to pump enough of paris and then later on with a new look at the biggest event in the history of women's sport under way with host nation france kicking off the football world cup.

is raising the stakes in its standoff with turkey over his plans to purchase russian ed defenses the 2 nato allies have spied for months over turkey's order for russia's s. 400 defense system washington more portably given current to lift 31st of july to backtrack on the deal if not it'll start taking steps removed from the f. $35.00 fighter jet program so let's get the latest from reynolds he's following the story from washington what is the source of this dispute and how serious is it rob . well as you mentioned it is basically a question of the turkish government's desire to buy this russian anti-aircraft system called the s 400 while at the same time purchasing a sophisticated fighter aircraft from the united states those are called the f. 35 and the acting defense secretary the head of the pentagon here in washington

patrick shanahan sent this letter copies of which were distributed to the press to his turkish con apart who who see are saying in part that while we seek to maintain our valued relationships turkey will not receive the f. 35 if turkey takes delivery of the s 400 the united states is urging turkey to buy the u.s. made patriot anti-aircraft missile system made by the raytheon corporation instead of the russian made system the turks have already ordered about $100.00 f. $35.00 they cost about $80000000.00 apiece so that's a lot of money for turkey to spend out of its defense budget it already has taken delivery of 4 of the f. 35 aircraft and actually has some turkish pilots in the united states training on

the aircraft but all of that is going to come to an end on the 31st of july unless turkey backs down on its plans to buy these russian aircraft systems the turkish president. to one said that backing out of the deal with the russians is really out of the question. for turkey to cancel its deal with russia now this is another. fairly serious. a rift between the 2 nato allies who are already at odds over things like strategy in. syria and the fact that turkey has detained several u.s. consular consulate personnel for 4 husing them of various crimes and misty and the united states refusing to extradite a cleric who lives in the united states back to turkey heir to one accusing that

cleric of having fomented the failed coup against him some time ago so things are not going smoothly between these 2 very key vital nato allies thank you very much rob runnels in washington. well the u.s. is saying that it will launch a formal diplomatic protest with russia over an in this between that will ships in the east china sea but countries are accusing each other of unsafe actions after the ships came within 50 meters of crashing 2 vessels had to take evasive action to avoid a collision which military officials say say it is lives in danger. well russia's president had strong words for the united states saying that aggressive protectionism is a recipe for conflict speaking at an economic forum in st peter's bug that imitation accuse the u.s. of unbridled economic ego isn't and flanked by the chinese president. condemned u.s. measures against chinese tech giant while way from the city of st petersburg stepp

boss and reports. flavia put in swartz must have been music to the ears of his guests of chinese president xi jinping is on a 3 day state visit to russia at a time when china is involved in a trade war with the united states and the relationship between the 2 world's largest economies is at a low. it is clear who is to blame. it is how the united states i regret to say that x. today it extends the jurisdiction across the whole world by the way i already spoke about it 12 years ago this model not only contradicts the normal logic of communication between the nations in the reality of the complex with multi polar world most importantly it does not meet the challenges of the future. both put in and she has described their relationship as unprecedented trade between russia and china has reached

a historic high of more than $100000000000.00 and the 2 leaders have decided to start using the national currencies to be less dependent on the u.s. dollar look at the sizes of the economies china and russia are far apart but their troubled relationship with the united states and their common positions on international issues like venezuela syria and iran are going strong bonds so while china has been dominating this most prestigious international forum the united states government has been boycotting it the reason was the rest of american investor michael calgary 4 months ago calvin has worked in russia for more than 2 decades and is facing fraud charges he says are fabricated who is under house arrest had requested to attend the 4 but even an endorsement from the kremlin did not help at the russian american business meeting his chair remains empty. longstanding. person investor with

a very good reputation in russia when that happened to him everybody thought. him a good happen to anybody and that has an impact on investment decisions of course foreign and russian business people called for legal reforms during the forum but reform was not on the menu well put in was hosting cheat the russian leader took the opportunity to take the chinese president on a river cruise in his hometown st petersburg while she remarked that the city had nurtured many outstanding people put in later apologized for keeping the chinese leader awake way past his bedtime because they had so much to talk about step process and al-jazeera so in petersburg. well in all the developments of prominent investigative journalist has been arrested in russia iran has known for his investigations into corruption he was arrested in central moscow on thursday on drug charges while traveling to meet a source is employer says he's managed to tell friends off his arrest that he was

given 2 packages containing an unknown substance which police later said were drugs . well now british prime minister terry's m a has formally stepped down as the leader of the ruling conservative party she handed in have private resignation letter 2 weeks after announcing her intention to leave saying she regretted not being able to deliver bricks that she'll stay on as caretaker prime minister while the party chooses her replacement 11 m.p.'s are expected to be nominated in a succession contest that could last several weeks when automatically becomes the new prime minister. all judges in britain's high court have thrown out an attempt to prosecute boris johnson the favorite in that contest for allegedly lying about prices last month he was ordered to appear in court for saying that person would be about $400000000.00 a week better off outside the e.u. he made the comments during the 2016 e.u. referendum campaign meanwhile the u.k.'s breaks it party has failed to secure its

1st parliamentary seat in a byelection it was expected to win in eastern england lawrence lee has more on this now from westminster. it is certainly the measure of the success of the new brix it policy in a short existence that not winning overnight in peace abroad and coming of very very close 2nd to the labor policy is now being seen as a surprise and in some some something of a failure for them but there is absolutely no down saying that the brics it policy is having the most enormous influence on politics here in western so there's a poll today for the london times newspaper about westminster voting intentions if they were to be a national election which puts the brakes of policy well out in front on 26 percent with the labor policy and the liberal democrats who don't want such a little in joint 2nd and 20 and the conservatives still in government but in a complete pickle on 18 percent so we now really into 4 party politics and if you think of the brics that party really is more of a massive pressure group than

a political organization does have a manifesto and any policies other than bricks it's what it's a bill to do is to force the conservative policy and all those candidates who want to be the next prime minister and leave those body off the trees in may to address and adopt their policies and so you have people abortions and saying we're going to have to leave without a deal on october 31st which is when the europeans extension runs out and so the bracks a policy is dragging the conservatives to its position it does create the most enormous problem for the conservative party because anybody who becomes prime minister vowing to leave at the end of october without a deal will immediately face a vote of no confidence in the house of commons and they could easily lose that and that could collapse the government so as difficult as everything has been to the brics it up until now things got an even worse for the conservative party over the summer we now taking to paris the city is cracking down on electric scooters which have flooded the city's roads in the last year there are an estimated $28000.00

east scooters in the french capital but few regulations or controls on their use is 10 the city's pavements into a battleground between riders and pedestrians and a spate of injuries and knee misses new measures will limit speeds on pedestrian areas and parking anywhere but an designated spaces. electric scooters have been increasing in number in a knock at fashion for a year now and for one simple reason which is that there are no clear legal guidelines today there are 12 operators in paris and more than 20000 electric scooters it's way too much still ahead. thousands of liberians turn out to protest against rising prices and their football a time president george where. bore international pressure on the philippine government to stop its deadly war on drugs. and then later in sport a teenager reaches the women's final at the french open for the 1st time in moves

francisco lay on soc prepares a field for planting a decade ago he could grow enough corn to feed his family for most of the year but these days his harvests are getting smaller and smaller francisco says climate change is to blame is that the import the weather shouldn't be like this it used to rain in the middle of april but now the rain doesn't arrive until the end of may or the beginning of june we always wait until it's rain before we plant our corn if it doesn't rain and we don't plant because the seeds won't grow average daytime temperatures in guatemala have risen over the past decade while cry. damaging frosts are more common and when it does rain it often pours for days washing the topsoil away water model already has the highest rate of child malnutrition in the western hemisphere and in the western highlands indigenous subsistence farmers make up half the population when crops here fail people leave who wants to follow

reforestation the goal to create a stable income from agriculture. that we have the desire of the will but we don't have as the capital but the assistance from us aid in other countries helps drive us forward not just me but many farmers were able to help our families and were able to better care for the environment. president donald trump cut aid to guatemala el salvador and honduras for failing to stop illegal migration for families like francisco's that could make the decision on whether or not to migrate to the united states that much easier david mercer al-jazeera own what amala thousands of people have been protesting against the president in areas capital as he struggles to revive a struggling economy organizers say georgia where a football a time politician has failed to improve the lives of liberians came to power 18 months ago campaigning on farms is to create jobs and fight corruption critics

dollars that went missing from government coffers and billions of liberia and dollars that also are not and are not accounted for the liberian government said there is no cause for alarm there is no sand that is not accounted for nothing has been stolen whatsoever and what is surprising now is that the demonstrators not only africa are not only from the opposition but also from within the coalition that put george weah into office so that's a very big problem for george weir and by far this is the biggest challenge has ever faced since coming to power 18 months ago. un human rights experts are demanding an investigation into what they call a staggering number of murders in the philippine government's war on drugs he one rights watch estimates that at least 12000 filipinos have been killed since president or in order to go to terror campaign began in 2016. explains.

number is at least 3 times higher. if you stay 3 years to destroy who are. human rights experts in the cause for an independent investigation with this statement to the un human rights council we have recorded a staggering number of unlawful deaths and police killings in the context of the so-called war on drugs as well as killings of human rights defenders they write the killings appear to happen in a climate of impunity and that concerns have been raised with to today's government 33 times over the last 3 years. the president has remained defiant when the international criminal court began examining the president's policies on drugs he withdrew from the court and he isn't 20173 singing the un special rapporteur on

a very robust space economy which is good for for all americans and so by doing this in a lot of these activities allowing companies to grow and if you look at national home you'll see the thousands of products already in the marketplace that have driven billions of dollars from therapeutic mattresses in the austin. that have come from what we've developed in space to toothpaste air filtration water filtration so many products out there that now driver economy that have come from nasa and so it's another way to enable the commercial sector to keep doing that work. well justin see caspar is a professor of climate space sciences and engineering at university of michigan he joins us live from. sending ordinary people into space isn't something that nasa has been very keen on in the pastas tell us more about why it's having it's happening now. sure this is done been done by other countries such as russia but it's

a 1st for nasa one of the biggest problems as the international space station's been incredible success humans have been in space continuously for 18 and a half years it's bristling with different experiments that only humans can operate in space but it costs billions of dollars a year to maintain the international space station and so we're confronted with unfortunate financial reality we either need to find another funding source for the space station if we want to continue it or we need to shut it down and there's a lot of resistance to shut it down given just all the amazing things we can do with it right so there is a financial rationale in order to keep the activities in the space station going how would this potentially what because it's not as though you will buy these trips directly from nasa or is it yes that's right so i think of this is nasa is dipping a toe in the waters so after many years of not getting involved in purely commercial activities like this they've invited several companies to explore

different options they've allowed for a limited amount of kilograms of material a number of passengers to come on board the space station and they're going to see what happens so you know what see exactly how much demand there is there are there are going to be 3 people that show up or are we going to find people lining up outside the door with amazing ideas and lining up one in the right on the space station and so from that will learn whether we can proceed with either additional people on the space station or i think the ultimate goal is find other enterprises and companies that want to set up their own presence in space. you know is a prize this some this is something new isn't it we don't quite know how it's going to pan out but it is obviously very expensive to do this i certainly won't be making this round trip but the kind of revenues that it generates that it's predicted to generate is it going to actually cover the cost of the international space station. now though the wonderful thing is the costs are pretty

fixed now that the space station construction is complete so we have a pretty good sense of what it costs to bring food and water and rations and or human.
